Reclassification of Comparison Items

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Additional Information

1-Overall revenue is almost the same; however, the short-term rental revenue has increased, whereas operational lease revenue has declined due to less demand in the operational lease segment. The decline in the operational lease revenue is compensated by the increase in the short rental revenue as a result of improved utilization with a higher short-term rental fleet this year.

2- The increase in total profit for the current year compared to last year is mainly due to higher profit from the vehicles sold as a result of continues change and improved marketing tools to increase the customer base in this segment.

3- The increase in operational profit for the current year compared to the previous year is mainly due to consistent better used car sale demand.
