Reporting Period: Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2025

Geographic Footprint: Operations in Egypt, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), United Arab Emirates (UAE), United Kingdom (UK), and Kuwait. The company has exited several markets (including Pakistan, Jordan, and Latin America) as part of a portfolio optimization program.

Key Financial Metrics (FY 2025 vs. FY 2024)

Revenue Composition: B2B revenue grew 56% to $20.27 million, now comprising 84% of total revenue. B2C revenue declined 8% to $3.90 million due to strategic route reductions.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability Turnaround: The company reported a net profit of $1.31 million in FY 2025, reversing a net loss of $10.28 million in FY 2024. This was driven by a $4.3 million reduction in General and Administrative (G&A) expenses and a $1.79 million gain from the change in fair value of financial liabilities (warrants).
• Expense Reduction: G&A expenses dropped 39% to $6.8 million, primarily due to the non-recurrence of RSU charges and Board bonuses recognized in the prior year.
• Geographic Expansion: Launched operations in the UK (June 2025) and Kuwait (January 2026), while continuing to optimize operations in Egypt, KSA, and UAE.
• Listing Compliance: Received a Nasdaq non-compliance notice regarding the Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) requirement ($35 million). The company is utilizing an alternative compliance standard based on shareholders' equity and net income.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Outlook: Management expects to fund operations through cash on hand, operational cash flows, and potential additional financing. The strategy focuses on profitable growth, expanding B2B contracts, and maintaining cost discipline.

Key Risks & Contingencies:

• Going Concern: Despite the FY 2025 profit, the company has accumulated losses of $338.5 million and negative operating cash flows. The auditor has noted substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, though management asserts sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months.
• Internal Controls: The company identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including insufficient resources with technical accounting experience and lack of sufficient financial reporting policies.
• Regulatory & Legal: Ongoing litigation regarding former shareholders of Shotl Transportation ($0.63 million claim). Exposure to currency fluctuations, particularly the Egyptian Pound (EGP).
• Insurance: The company does not currently maintain general business liability or cyber insurance, though it is in the process of obtaining coverage.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Nasdaq Compliance Status: Verify the company's progress in meeting the alternative listing standards (Shareholders' Equity > $2.5M and Net Income > $500k) to avoid delisting.
• Cash Runway: Assess the sustainability of the $4.4 million cash balance against the negative operating cash flow of $2.14 million and the need for future capital raises.
• Internal Control Remediation: Review the specific remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses in financial reporting and IT general controls.
• B2B Contract Renewals: Confirm the renewal rates and stability of the B2B contracts that now drive 84% of revenue, given the high concentration risk.
• Insurance Coverage: Monitor the status of obtaining general business liability and cyber insurance to mitigate uninsured loss risks.
