The state-aligned operator’s asset sheet expanded to EGP 240.9 billion, up from the EGP 231.1 billion registered at the close of the 2025 fiscal year.

The financial statement indicated a broad acceleration across key investment and liquidity vectors.

On the obligations side, Telecom Egypt’s total liabilities increased by 6% to reach EGP 178.2 billion in Q1 2026, up from EGP 167.4 billion at year-end 2025.

Short-term loans and credit facility installments also rose by 7% to settle at EGP 41.1 billion, compared to EGP 38.4 billion in the prior period.

Total shareholder equity recorded a minor 1% contraction, closing at EGP 62.8 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared to EGP 63.7 billion at year-end 2025.
