Losses deepened during the current period due to lower revenues, as the company reported higher losses resulting from a decline in the market value of shares owned by the company.

 

It also witnessed increased operating expenses (OpEx) and higher Zakat provision.

 

This was partially offset by higher dividend income in H1 2025 from shares owned by the company, as well as an increase in the company’s share of profits from investments in an associate (Arab Tanks Terminals Co.).
