Capex in 1Q25 increased 8.3% YoY to USD 135 million and implies LTM capex intensity of 20.4% (+2.2 p.p. YoY, 17.9% excl. Ukraine). Total cash and cash equivalents and deposits as of March 31, 2025 amounted to USD 1,775 million (including USD 303 million related to customer deposits from our banking operations in Pakistan and excluding USD 30 million in Ukrainian sovereign bonds that are classified as investments) with USD 662 million held at the HQ level.

VEON affirms its 2025 outlook and expects underlying local currency growth for total revenue of between 12% and 14% year- on-year, and underlying EBITDA growth of between 13-15% year-on-year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY “ Kaan Terzioğlu commented on the results: “ “VEON has started 2025 with strong momentum and delivered solid results that reflect both disciplined execution and strategic clarity. For 1Q25, we achieved 8.9% year-on-year revenue growth in reported currency, and 15.7% in local currency terms. Adjusting for one-off effects in the base period — including the cyberattack in Ukraine and the deconsolidation of our TNS+ infrastructure business in Kazakhstan — our underlying local currency revenue growth was 12.9%, outpacing both inflation and nominal GDP, illustrating our growing share of consumer wallets. Our EBITDA grew 13.7% in reported currency, 22.1% year-on-year in local currency terms and 10.4% on an underlying basis “We are making rapid progress in our digital operator strategy. Our direct digital revenues rose by 50.2%, reaching USD 147 million and now account for 14.3% of Group revenues, up from 10.4% a year ago. We are delivering innovative and locally relevant digital services that enhance our customers’ lives every minute of the day — from financial services and healthcare to entertainment, education, and enterprise applications. This is now complemented by our AI1440 vision, which integrates AI in native languages to truly augment human capabilities, well beyond process optimization. Together, these strategies position VEON as a frontrunner in digital transformation across frontier markets. Looking ahead, we are on track to meet our FY2025 goals and are reaffirming our guidance for underlying local currency growth for total revenue of between 12% and 14% YoY, and underlying EBITDA growth of between 13-15% YoY. We remain focused on disciplined execution and innovation as we continue to scale impact for our customers and value for our shareholders.”

JazzCash and MMBL delivered exceptional results, while digital verticals like Tamasha maintained sound momentum. Effective pricing in a lower inflation environment and robust data monetization are driving mobile revenue growth as Jazz maintains its leadership position in Pakistan’s mobile sector. Total revenues grew 20.3% YoY in local currency, fueled by even stronger digital revenue growth. Telecom and Infrastructure revenues rose 12.0% YoY, supported by a 16.0% increase in 4G users and a 14.0% rise in mobile ARPU, reflecting the strength of Jazz’s network and innovative digital services. Direct digital revenues surged 49.5% YoY, driven by another exceptional quarter for our Pakistan digital fintech products, and comprised 27.7% of total revenues. JazzCash’s revenues grew 66.1% YoY, while our microfinance bank, MMBL, posted a 25.5% YoY increase. This growth came despite a modest macro backdrop, with GDP growing 2.3% YoY and inflation at 2.2%, reflective of Jazz’s ability to differentiate and drive growth. Jazz’s EBITDA growth for 1Q25 was healthy at 13.2% YoY, even as EBITDA margins declined slightly year-on-year to 42.0% for 1Q25. Jazz’s EBITDA margin profile reflects a blend of high telecom margins and strong, yet comparatively lower, digital margins. The ongoing investments in developing a diverse range of new digital offerings are also making a positive impact on EBITDA margins. Jazz continues to make significant strides with its DO1440 strategy. By the end of the quarter, its 4G user base reached 53.3 million, marking a 16.0% YoY increase, with 4G penetration climbing to 72.6% (+8.6 p.p.). The total mobile subscriber base expanded to 73.4 million, reflecting a 2.3% YoY growth. The Multiplay customer base saw a 33.1% YoY rise in 1Q25 and now accounts for 37.0% of the total consumer base. Multiplay users generate 3.2x the ARPU of voice-only users and remain a crucial revenue driver for Jazz. In 1Q25, JazzCash’s MAUs rose to approximately 20.6 million, supporting the issuance of around 142,000 digital loans daily. Gross Transaction Value reached PKR 3.27 trillion, up 59.7% YoY, driven by a 48.2% YoY rise in total transactions and a 23.2% YoY increase in transactions per user. The expansion of JazzCash’s retail network also played a crucial role, with nearly 341,000 active merchants (+38.4% YoY) and almost 121,000 active agents, strengthening performance and market presence. Tamasha accelerated growth, fueled by exclusive cricket content, reaching 16.5 million MAUs, up 37.6% YoY. As Pakistan’s largest homegrown streaming platform, Tamasha streamed over 250 days of live matches, including the ICC World Cup, Pakistan Super League, and major bilateral series, driving user and revenue growth. Broader sports coverage like the English Premier League and Paris Olympics further expanded its audience. SIMOSA, Jazz’s Sim-Care and lifestyle app, recorded a 40.2% YoY increase in MAUs, reaching 20.9 million. FikrFree, an AI-powered insurance and healthcare marketplace launched in October 2024, continues to gain traction with over 1.0 million monthly active users and 1.8 million policies sold. Capex reached PKR 9,487 million in 1Q25, up 78.4% YoY, with capex intensity at 8.8%, reflecting Jazz’s focus on 4G expansion and digital product development. Meanwhile, the legal and regulatory approvals process for the strategic partnership with Engro Corporation Limited for pooling and managing infrastructure assets is progressing well. PAKISTAN

The company remains committed to Ukraine’s recovery by future proofing its network and expanding its digital capabilities. This is demonstrated by the recent acquisition of Ukraine’s top ride hailing business, Uklon, which will accelerate Kyivstar’s digital revenue growth and advance its digital transformation. In 1Q25, Kyivstar's revenues increased by 49.5% YoY (20.2% YoY adjusted for the cyberattack ), driven by a 53.9% increase in ARPU. This impressive performance was driven by price adjustments, a stable 4G user base, and the growing adoption of Kyivstar’s data and digital services, which in turn led to higher mobile data consumption. The high revenue growth reflects an effective recovery from the prior year’s cyberattack. Direct digital revenues grew by 140.7% YoY, propelled by the success of Kyivstar TV and Helsi. EBITDA grew by 64.2% YoY in 1Q25 (10.2% YoY adjusted for the cyberattack impact in 1Q24), resulting in a 55.6% EBITDA margin for the quarter (+5.0 p.p. YoY). Normalized EBITDA margin declined from 60.6% in Q1 2024 to 55.6% in Q1 2025, primarily due to non-recurring costs in relation to the proposed business combination with Cohen Circle acquisition Corp. and cost pressures from increased utilities, IT support, headcount, consulting, and VAT impacts. Over the quarter, Kyivstar’s 4G user base declined slightly to 14.3 million, and have increased the share to 63.1%. The drop in 4G users, largely due to an overall reduction in mobile customers, was more than compensated for by a 21.2% YoY increase in data consumption per user and increase in roaming subscribers. Meanwhile, demand for Kyivstar’s multiplay services continued to grow strongly, with multiplay customer increasing 40.7% YoY, reflecting increased adoption of bundled digital products. Aligned with VEON’s DO1440 strategy, Kyivstar continues to deliver essential digital healthcare, information, and entertainment services, strengthening its position as a key driver of Ukraine’s digital transformation. Helsi, Ukraine’s leading digital healthcare platform, maintained strong growth momentum as revenues grew 41% YoY. By the end of 1Q25, the platform had 1.8 million app users, reflecting a 30% YoY increase. The number of medical specialists on the platform also grew by 3% YoY, with almost 39,000 active doctors as of March 2-25. Helsi continues to develop previously launched subscription models: Helsi plan (more appointment features, data access, and medical data storage and premium offers from partners) and Helsi Plus (interpretation of laboratory tests). Kyivstar TV achieved an impressive 177% YoY revenue growth, driven by a 34.9% YoY increase in MAUs. This surge was driven by attractive content offerings including the exclusive launch of the Setanta Premium sports channel and a revamped sports section in the app. Notably, Ukrainian-produced and Ukrainian-language content now represents 81% of the platform’s catalogue. Additionally, the Kyivstar TV app has expanded its reach by launching on Xbox devices. The acquisition of Uklon closed on April 2nd, 2025. Uklon delivered US$65m in annual revenues in 2024, which represented 30% revenue CAGR over 2021-24 in USD terms. This strategic acquisition marks Kyivstar’s expansion into a new area of digital consumer services in line with VEON’s digital operator strategy. In 1Q25, Kyivstar’s capex increased by 126% YoY to UAH 2,422 million, implying capex intensity at 22.6%, as the company continued to prioritize investments in network resilience and 4G expansion. VEON continues to make good progress on the listing of Kyivstar on Nasdaq in the U.S. If completed, the transaction positions Kyivstar as the first pure-play Ukrainian investment opportunity to be publicly listed in the U.S., marking a significant milestone for the company.

The quarter was defined by a strategic combination of enhanced operational efficiency and focused growth across priority areas, which were strengthened by a continued focus on network excellence and an expanding digital ecosystem. Following the deconsolidation of TNS+, its contributions are no longer included in Beeline Kazakhstan’s accounts effective 4Q24. While total revenues for 1Q25 declined by 0.7% YoY, the increase is 11.5% YoY when adjusted for TNS+’ deconsolidation in 1Q25. Excluding TNS+ contributions, telecom and infrastructure revenues grew 9.4% YoY, reflecting a 3.5% YoY increase in mobile subscribers and 1.0% YoY growth in mobile ARPU. Beeline’s 4.9G rollout and performance continues to resonate well with consumers versus its 5G competitors in the market. Underlying revenue trends were supported by inflation- linked pricing, strong subscriber additions, and seasonal boosts from December and Ramadan campaigns in March. Digital revenues grew by a solid 29.4% YoY, driven by rising demand for Beeline’s digital services, including BeeTV, Simply, and IZI. Digital revenues comprised 12.1% of total revenues in 1Q25. Headline 1Q25 EBITDA decreased by 8.8% YoY; underlying EBITDA declined by 4.0% YoY when adjusted for TNS+’s deconsolidation. The decline was primarily caused by the absence of regulatory tax benefits for the quarter. In addition, operational leverage and disciplined cost controls are expected to provide further margin support. Total subscribers grew 3.5% YoY to 11.6million in 1Q25. The 4G user base in Kazakhstan rose 3.8% YoY in 1Q25 to 8.8 million and now represents 75.8% of the total customer base (excluding M2M and B2B connections, consumer 4G penetration is 85%+). Multiplay customers reached 4.2 million, up 11.9% YoY in 1Q25. Beeline Kazakhstan continued to expand its digital portfolio in line with the DO1440 strategy. The BeeTV multiplatform entertainment service continued its strong momentum, now reaching 900k MAUs (+6.7% YoY), with 67% of customers using the mobile version of the service. Simply continues to scale strongly with 139.8% rise in MAUs, which reached 3.3 million. Beeline Kazakhstan’s sub-brand IZI continued to deliver strong growth with MAUs of the IZI app increasing 10.3% YoY to nearly 600k. Beeline also introduced the “Janymda” superapp (formerly “My Beeline”) offering customers a range of solutions (including financial services, entertainment, gaming, etc.) within a seamless and integrated one-stop shop. QazCode continued to drive innovation in 1Q25, building on the momentum of its December 2024 Kaz-LLM launch. The collaboration with Kazakh research institutions has further enriched Beeline Kazakhstan’s AI capabilities, with tools like the Kaz-RoBERTA-conversational model enhancing customer service efficiency across digital platforms and reinforcing the company’s leadership in cutting-edge digital solutions. Capex in 1Q25 increased by 46.2% YoY to KZT12,200 million, implying capex intensity of 12.7% This was driven by investment programs aimed at expanding network capacity and supporting seasonal demand, particularly ahead of Ramadan. The increase also reflects capitalized rent and developer costs, alongside the ongoing deployment of advanced technologies like multiple input multiple output ( MIMO) and 4.9G wireless infrastructure.

Earnings Release 1Q25 17 QoQ sequential increase in EBITDA amidst challenging environment Total revenue, of which: 13,519 15,438 -12.4% Telecom and infrastructure 13,439 15,416 -12.8% Direct digital revenue 80 21 >100% EBITDA 4,577 4 ,809 -4.8% EBITDA margin (%) 33.9% 31.1% 2.7 pp EBIT 979- 789- 24.1% EBIT margin (%) -7.2% -5.1% -2.1 pp Capex 816 1 ,554 -47.5% Capex Intensity 6.0% 10.1% -4.0 pp Capex Intensity (LTM) 12.4% 15.5% -3.2 pp Customer Metrics (millions) Mobile customers 35.0 41.0 -14.6% 4G customers 17.9 21.5 -16.8% Multiplay customers 5.6 5.2 8.8% Digital MAU 16.9 17.8 -5.2% Operational Metrics Mobile ARPU (LCY) 125.4 125.0 0.3% Data usage (GB/user) 6.3 4.7 33.3% Digital products MAU (millions) Toffee 8.9 9.2 -3.7% Ryze 0.1 - - My BL 7.8 8.1 -3.6% BDT million 1Q25 1Q24 YoY Revenue stability in 1Q25 compared to 4Q24 suggests that the negative impact of macro challenges has stabilized. However, a sustainable recovery in consumer sentiment and spending has yet to materialize. Against this backdrop, Banglalink will continue to focus on operational agility and digital growth, adapting continuously to navigate the evolving market landscape effectively. Banglalink’s revenues in 1Q25 declined 12.4% YoY, reflecting the challenging conditions in Bangladesh in the second half of 2024 due to political unrest and macroeconomic headwinds. The impact of these events continued to be felt in 1Q25, contributing to the ongoing revenue decline. Telecom and Infrastructure revenues declined 12.8% YoY, impacted by a decrease in the subscriber base (-14.6% YoY) with a marginal increase in mobile ARPU by 0.3% YoY. Direct digital revenues grew strongly from a relatively low base, driven by ICC cricket championship content, boosting monetization at Toffee. These trends highlight the strong potential for digital services growth, even in the face of the challenging economic and consumer environment. EBITDA in 1Q25 declined 4.8% YoY, reflecting the squeeze from lower gross margins tied to the revenue decline, though tightly managed technology, marketing, general and administrative expenses softened the overall impact. This quarter’s more moderate decline QoQ signals progress in cost discipline and structural optimization. Despite constrained consumer spending, Banglalink’s ability to mitigate revenue pressures through leaner operations highlights its adaptability, positioning the company for a stronger recovery as macroeconomic conditions improve in the country. Banglalink remains firmly committed to its DO1440 strategy despite ongoing challenges. As of 1Q25, the multiplay customer base increased by 8.8% YoY to 5.6 million. This occurred amid a 16.8% YoY decline in the 4G user base in 1Q25, which mirrors the overall subscriber base decline and translates to a 4G penetration rate of 51.0%, marking a - 1.3pp YoY decrease. Banglalink’s Toffee is the leading entertainment application and OTT platform in Bangladesh, offering audio and video streaming services to users of all mobile operators in the country. By the end of 1Q25, Toffee had 8.9 million MAUs and recorded over 824 million minutes of usage. Toffee has reinstated linear TV channels by partnering directly with international broadcasters, making it the largest OTT platform in Bangladesh to offer linear TV. Additionally, Banglalink holds exclusive streaming rights for ICC world events across Bangladesh until the end of 2025. This initiative is expected to continue driving Toffee’s growth into 2025. The successful launch of the AI-enabled lifestyle application 'Ryze' in November 2024, targeting the youth segment, is yet another example of an innovative digital service driving digital adoption and growth. Ryze recorded 100K+ MAUs as of 1Q25, and we expect momentum to accelerate going forward. Additionally, transaction volumes on MyBanglalink ('MyBL'), a pioneering telecommunications super app, remained stable MAUs at 7.8 million. Capex in 1Q25 dropped 47.5% YoY to 816 million BDT implying capex intensity of 6.0%. This was driven by strategic reprioritization and delays in key projects in light of macroeconomic conditions in the country, with LTM capex intensity also at 12.4% now, a 3.2pp decrease. This leaner investment stance reflects Banglalink's pivot to conserve resources amid economic uncertainty. Nonetheless, Banglalink maintains its nationwide 4G foundation, positioning itself flexibly for future growth as conditions improve. BANGLADESH

During the quarter, the company built on last year’s efforts to strengthen its market position, while effectively managing operational challenges. Focusing on steady progress, Beeline leveraged its digital capabilities and optimized investments, setting a positive outlook for the year ahead. Revenues in 1Q25 gained momentum, with revenue rising 13.1% YoY. Telecom and infrastructure revenues grew 5.1% YoY, assisted by a strategic shift to retaining higher value subscribers (higher ARPU, albeit this impacted the subscriber base) and the excise tax cancellation. Digital revenues increased by 224.5% YoY, driven by strong adoption of Beepul, Hambi, and Kinom, and highlighted the importance of digital in Beeline’s growth strategy. EBITDA in 1Q25 rose 16.5% YoY, driven by the revenue increase that largely offset higher direct, technology, media, and marketing costs, with savings in general and administrative and HR expenses providing additional support. The EBITDA growth also reflects the benefits of excise tax relief and improved pricing and overall, supported margin expansion of 1.1pp in 1Q25 to 37.9%. Beeline Uzbekistan had 8.2 million mobile customers at the end of the quarter, a slight decrease of 0.6% YoY, as a result of the focus on driving ARPU accretion and retaining more valuable customers. The 4G user base reached 6.0 million users, a 0.6% YoY decrease, and comprised 73.9% of total mobile customers, consistent with the composition in the same period last year. The multiplay customer base increased 4.3% YoY in 1Q25 to 3.5 million subscribers, accounting for 46.0% of the monthly active customer base during the period. Beeline is also taking rapid strides on its DO1440 strategy. The growing adoption and the introduction of enhancements to its portfolio of digital products and services drove a 25.9% YoY increase of Digital MAUs to 9.5 million for 1Q25. In 1Q25, the mobile financial services platform Beepul continued to build on its strong momentum, as its customer base grew 152% YoY to over 2.3 million MAUs. Beeline Uzbekistan’s second brand OQ reached nearly 450k MAUs at the end of 1Q25 – a 145% YoY growth and was rated #x in the “Business” category in Uzbekistan on the App Store and Google Play. The recently launched SuperApp Hambi ("Hammasi Bitta" in Uzbek, meaning "all-in-one"), continues its strong launch from last quarter, now catering to 4.3 million app users, a 30.4% increase from the prior period. In 1Q25, the app was ranked as the top app on Google Play in the country. TV platform users aggregated 1.0 million of which ~368K are on Kinom, a newly-launched all-access TV platform incorporating video on demand and linear TV, services, with the rest being on Beeline TV. Capex in 1Q25 declined by 78.2% YoY to UZS114.9 Bn, implying a capex intensity of 12.2%, as Beeline eased its capital deployment efforts following 2024’s aggressive 4G rollout. This pullback from last year’s high base reflects a strategic shift toward capital efficiency, leveraging prior network upgrades to support rising digital and subscriber demands without the heavy outlays of the previous quarter, positioning Beeline for sustainable growth in a stabilized investment cycle.

VEON Completes Reorganization Ahead of Kyivstar’s Planned Nasdaq Listing On April 8, 2025, VEON successfully completed the reorganization of VEON Holdings and finalized its consent solicitation process, first announced on January 13, 2025.

Earnings Release 1Q25 30 ATTACHMENT E: DEFINITIONS 4G users are mobile customers who have engaged in revenue-generating activity during the three months prior to the measurement date as a result of activities over fourth-generation (4G or LTE – long term evolution) network technologies. ARPU (average revenue per user) measures the monthly average revenue per mobile user. We generally calculate mobile ARPU by dividing our mobile service revenue during the relevant period (including data revenue, roaming revenue, MFS and interconnect revenue, but excluding revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue) by the average number of our mobile customers during the period and the number of months in that period. Capital expenditures (capex) are purchases of property and equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long-lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to the intended use of the non-current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Purchases of licenses and capitalized leases are not included in capital expenditures. Capex intensity is a ratio, which is calculated as last-twelve-months (LTM) capex divided by LTM total revenue. Direct digital revenues include revenues from VEON’s proprietary digital platforms and services. Doubleplay 4G customers are mobile customers who engaged in usage of our voice and data services over 4G (LTE) technology at any time during the one month prior to such measurement date. EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and is called Adjusted EBITDA in the 2024 Form 20-F published by VEON. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of the results as reported under IFRS. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period, before income taxes, depreciation, amortization, loss from disposal of non-current assets and impairment loss, financial expenses and costs, net foreign exchange gain/(loss) and share of profit/(loss) of associates and joint ventures. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA (as defined above) divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Equity free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as free cash flow from operating activities less cash flow used in investing activities, excluding license payments, principal amount of lease payments, balance movements in Pakistan banking, M&A transactions, inflow/outflow of deposits, financial assets and other one-off items. Gross debt is calculated as the sum of long-term notional debt and short-term notional debt, including capitalized leases. Identified items are amounts impacting revenues and/or EBITDA, that may be recurring in nature but are not operational. Underlying revenues and/or EBITDA exclude such identified items. Local currency (or “LCY”) trends (growth/decline) in revenue and EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and EBITDA, excluding foreign currency movements (“constant FX”). LCY trends underlying (growth/decline) is an alternative performance measure that is calculated as local currency trends excluding identified items and other factors, such as businesses under liquidation, disposals, mergers and acquisitions with an absolute amount of USD 5 million or more. Mobile customers (also - mobile subscribers) are generally customers in the registered customer base at a given measurement date who engaged in a mobile revenue generating activity at any time during the three months prior to such measurement date. Such activity includes any outgoing calls, customer fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS and MMS, data transmission and receipt sessions, but does not include incoming calls, SMS and MMS or abandoned calls. Our total number of mobile customers also includes customers using mobile internet service via USB modems and fixed-mobile convergence (“FMC”). Mobile data customers (also – mobile data subscribers) are mobile customers who have engaged in revenue- generating activity during the three months prior to the measurement date as a result of activities including USB modem Internet access using 2.5G/3G/4G/HSPA+ technologies. Mobile financial services (“MFS”) or digital financial services (“DFS”) are a variety of innovative services, such as mobile commerce, which uses a mobile phone as the primary payment user interface and allows mobile customers to conduct money transfers to pay for items such as goods at an online store, utility payments, fines and state fees,

Earnings Release 1Q25 31 loan repayments, domestic and international remittances, mobile insurance and tickets for air and rail travel, all via their mobile phone. Multiplay customers are Doubleplay 4G customers who also engaged in usage of one or more of our digital products at any time during the one month prior to such measurement date. Effective 1Q25, 4G usage below the 100Mb threshold is included in Multiplay and Double Play 4G user count (excluded prior to 1Q25). Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure and is calculated as the sum of interest-bearing long-term debt, including capitalized leases (unless specifically excluded) and short-term notional debt minus cash and cash equivalents and deposits, excluding cash and cash deposits from our banking operations in Pakistan, long-term and short-term deposits. We believe that net debt provides useful information to investors because it shows the amount of notional debt that would be outstanding if available cash and cash equivalents and deposits and long-term and short-term deposits were applied to repay such indebtedness. Net debt should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to long-term debt and short-term debt, or any other measure of our financial position. Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) is the methodology VEON uses to measure customer satisfaction. Relative NPS (rNPS) – advantage or gap in NPS when compared to competition. Revenues from telecommunications services and from infrastructure (“Telecom and infrastructure revenues” or “Telecom and infra revenues”) are revenues generated by VEON from providing telecommunication and infrastructure services. Telecommunication services refer to data, voice, connectivity, television, and similar services, regardless of medium of transmission, including transmission by satellite. Infrastructure services refer to leasing or providing third-party access to physical network assets, such as towers and fiber-optic lines, owned by VEON, allowing external entities to utilize these resources. Total digital monthly active users (“MAU”) is a gross total cumulative MAU of all digital platforms, services and applications offered by an entity or by the Group and includes MAU who are active in more than one application. VEON’s reportable segments are the following, which are principally based on business activities in different geographical areas: Pakistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan. We also present our results of operations for “Others” and “HQ” separately, although these are not reportable segments. “Others” represents our operations in Kyrgyzstan and “HQ” represents transactions related to management activities within the group in Amsterdam, London and Dubai.
