• The healthcare portfolio recorded a fivefold year-on-year profit expansion, and the education portfolio grew 3% compared to 1Q-2021
  • Adjusted net profit grew 39% year-on-year, excluding prior year results from divested entities, to record AED 32.1 million for the quarter

Dubai: Amanat Holdings PJSC (“Amanat” or the “Company”), the GCC’s largest healthcare and education investment company, announces financial results for the quarter ended 31 March 2022.

The Company recorded total income of AED 46.9 million in 1Q-2022, growth of 12% versus the AED 42.0 million recorded in 1Q-2021. On an adjusted basis, excluding the prior year result from divested entities, the Company recorded total income of AED 46.9 million, an increase of 40% on the AED 33.5 million recorded in 1Q-2021.

Adjusted net profit recorded AED 32.1 million in the quarter, a 39% increase on the AED 23.1 million reported in the same quarter of the prior year.

Commenting on this quarter’s performance, Amanat’s Chairman, Hamad Alshamsi said: “I am delighted to report that Amanat started the new year by building on a record-breaking 2021 having delivered strong year-on-year growth in our quarterly 

bottom line while actively advancing on our long-term value creation strategy. Despite the difficult global macroeconomic environment, our healthcare and education platforms reported strong results in the first three months of 2022.”

Consolidated Performance

Amanat’s healthcare platform continued to record impressive year-on-year growth, building on strong results in the previous year to deliver income of AED 14.0 million in 1Q-2022, a fivefold year-on-year increase compared with AED 2.5 million recorded in 1Q-2021.

Performance was primarily driven by a full quarter contribution of Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center (“CMRC”), which only contributed to March’s result in 1Q-2021, a narrowing of losses at the Royal Hospital for Women and Children (“RHWC”) in Bahrain, with revenues doubling versus the first quarter of last year, and a positive contribution from Sukoon driven by a successful turnaround.

The education platform recorded income of AED 32.6 million, up 3% year-on-year driven by enrollment growth at Middlesex University Dubai which drove a 13% increase in revenues. At Abu Dhabi University Holding Company income declined versus the first quarter of last year as credit hours normalized following a return to physical learning post the prior year COVID-19 distance learning surge.

Amanat’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mohamad Hamade, added: “Three months into the new year, we are progressing as planned and are focused on delivering solid growth through the rest of 2022.”

“We have a strong pipeline of healthcare and education opportunities, and we are working on optimizing our capital structure to deploy further capital and grow our assets under management.”

“Our solid portfolio and future investments will collectively drive our ability to continue to deliver sustainable value for shareholders as we create scalable investment platforms for future monetization.” Dr. Hamade concluded.
