Dubai's Amlak Posts 3Q Net Loss On Higher Provisions, Lower Revs
Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011
DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)--Islamic mortgage provider Amlak Finance PJSC (AMLAK.DFM) posted a net loss of 40 Million U.A.E. dirhams ($11 million) in the third quarter on higher provisioning and lower revenues.
For the nine months ending September 2011, Amlak made a net loss of AED146 million, compared with a profit of AED2.2 million during the same period in 2010, according to a statement on the Dubai stock exchange. The company cited "falling revenues and higher provisioning" as the main reasons behind the loss.
In the third quarter of 2010, Amlak made a modest profit, but the company has been loss making in the previous three quarters. Provisioning on its mortgage book jumped 126% to AED178 million in the first nine months of 2011, Amlak said.
Both Amlak and Tamweel were hard hit by the collapse of Dubai's real estate market.
