**<u>PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR FULL YEAR 2022</u>**

● Total unaudited revenue of $48.1 million for 2022 results, an increase of 35.6% compared to 2021

● Ended 2022 with 1.52 million total paying subscribers, an increase of 21% compared to 2021, and 20% growth in music streams compared to 2021

● Improved H2 2022 gross margin across all business segments compared to H1 2022

● Continued focus on efficiency and profitability for 2023, with new services to launch starting in May 2023

**6 March, 2023, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE)** - Anghami Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGH) (the "Company" or "Anghami"), the leading streaming platform for music and entertainment in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), has announced its unaudited preliminary results for the year 2022, ended December 31, 2022.

Anghami recorded a robust financial performance in 2022, with a total revenue of $48.1 million, reflecting an increase of 35.6% compared to the preceding year, despite an unfavourable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Anghami also experienced a growth in its total paying subscribers, reaching 1.52 million subscribers, representing a 21% increase year-on-year, and contributing significantly to the overall revenue growth. Additionally, the number of music streams increased by 20% compared to 2021, highlighting the strong demand for Anghami's content, especially with Arabic music representing 60% of Anghami's streams.

**According to Eddy Maroun, CEO and co-founder of Anghami**, "*Our ability to provide an exceptional user experience and to deliver the best music and entertainment content in the MENA region and beyond is reflected in our strong financial performance in 2022.*"

Anghami's focus on efficiency and profitability in the second half of 2022 resulted in a significant improvement in gross margin across all business segments. **Elie Habib, Chairman and co-founder of Anghami, commented** "*The unaudited gross profit margin from paid subscriptions and ad-supported users improved by 13 percentage points in H2 2022 when compared to H1 2022. Our entire team is focused on improving efficiency as well as revenue generation. Also, starting in May 2023, we plan to launch new services that leverage both our unique user behaviour knowledge and our deep technology credentials.*"

Anghami continues to expand and grow as an entertainment platform, investing in consumer business, content creation, advertising infrastructure, and payment infrastructure. Anghami also has deep knowledge in customer conversion and has recently launched verticals such as Anghami Studios, a full fledge content production arm, Vibe Music Arabia, a Joint Venture with Sony Music, Spotlight Live, an events management business, and Anghami Lab, a music lounge and artist performance spot in Riyadh.

Anghami aims to achieve profitability in 2023 by building on the momentum of its focus on efficiency, as reflected in its improvement in gross margin in H2 2022. Working with its auditor Grant Thornton, Anghami expects to release its audited full year 2022 financial results by April 15, 2023.

Anghami will be presenting to select investors and partners at the EFG Hermes investor conference "The 17th One-on-One Conference 2023" at Atlantis, The Palm Dubai in the UAE on March 8, 2023.

Looking ahead, Anghami remains committed to its focus on efficiency and profitability while delivering innovative and exciting experiences to its users.
