We are proud to report our first set of financial results under the iOCO banner, with the name change from EOH Holdings
Limited to iOCO Limited coming into effect from 11 December 2024.

The Company is pleased to present strong progress, and a revitalised Group through disciplined planning, strategic
execution, and an unwavering focus on creating value.

The Company has streamlined its Group structure, yielding clear benefits. This restructuring has enabled reinvestment
in growth through diversification across an expanded product and geographic base, with services now delivered across
five operating companies. This has positioned the Group for market share growth, while cost efficiencies are beginning
to materialise, as reflected in the HY2025 results.

The Company will continue to focus on growth initiatives, strategic investments and working capital management to
sustain its momentum.

The presentation of the Group's interim results hosted by the Group Co-Chief Executive Officer, Rhys Summerton, and
Group Chief Financial Officer, Ashona Kooblall may be viewed via a webinar at 11h00 on 2 April 2025, by following
