Al-Safat Investment announces net profit of KD 4.65 million for H1 2025
Board of Directors approves a semi-annual cash dividend of 5% to shareholders KUWAIT: Al-Safat Investment Company announced net profits of KD 4.65 million for the first half of 2025, reflecting a strong financial performance that underscores the success of its strategy to restructure its investment portfolio, enhance operational efficiency, and manage liquidity effectively. This included exiting some non-strategic assets, focusing on high-yield, sustainable investments, expanding its client base through innovative and diversified investment solutions, and launching a market-making service for Kuwaiti-listed companies on Boursa Kuwait. In a historic step, the Board of Directors of Al-Safat approved a semi-annual cash dividend of 5 percent to shareholders for the first half of 2025. With this move, Al-Safat became the first listed Islamic investment company on Boursa Kuwait to adopt such an approach—affirming the strength of its financial position and management's confidence in its ability to generate sustainable profits. Al-Safat Investment Company Chairman Abdullah Al-Terkait stated: 'The adoption of semi-annual dividends for 2025 reflects the vision of Al-Safat's Board to enhance shareholder value and reinforce transparency and financial discipline. The company's management will continue to work towards sustaining this approach to deliver rewarding returns, strengthen stability, and support growth', he stated. On the operational front, the company's assets increased to KD 48 million by the end of the first half of 2025, compared to KD 44 million in the same period last year. Shareholders' equity also rose to KD 34 million from KD 29 million a year earlier—an encouraging indicator of the company's strong balance sheet and solid capital position. During the past period, the company completed several important steps, including exiting certain non-strategic investments and settling several legal and investment cases—positively impacting liquidity and financial strength. The strategic diversification of Al-Safat's portfolio—across sectors such as real estate, industrial, financial services, and technology, and across assets both inside and outside Kuwait—has played a key role in strengthening financial performance and reducing volatility, thereby supporting consistent returns and maximizing shareholder value through the achievements of the company and its subsidiaries. Notable achievements include the 'The Blue' Al-Ahmadi Craft Project of Dar Al-Safat, which reached an occupancy rate of 97 percent, thanks to effective leasing and real estate development policies. Subsidiaries also saw improved performance Synergy Holding Co (K.S.C.C.) moved from a net loss of KD 804.6 thousand in 2023 to a net profit of KD 59.7 thousand in 2024, supported by strong revenue growth. Shuaiba Industrial Co (K.S.C.C.) maintained strong profitability despite challenging market conditions through cost control, improved profit margins, and operational efficiency. Modern Printing & Publishing Co, a group subsidiary, achieved solid operational results with sales growth, improved profitability, and wider margins—demonstrating its focus on profitable and sustainable growth. Zak Solutions, one of Kuwait's leading technology service providers and an Al-Safat investment, recorded significant annual profit growth driven by improved efficiency and higher gross profit—bolstering financial stability and positioning it to capture future growth opportunities. Al-Safat is also expanding its review and pursuit of new government projects, in which it invests through its group companies, while enhancing its real estate portfolio in line with sustainable growth priorities and risk management. The company aims to continue its carefully planned investment expansion both locally and abroad, seeking new high-quality opportunities while adhering fully to Islamic Sharia principles in all operations and investments, and adopting best practices in governance, as well as social and environmental responsibility—reinforcing its role as a trusted and active investment partner in supporting development in Kuwait.

‘Partners for Yemen' conference kicks off with Kuwaiti support
KUALA LAMPUR: The second edition of the 'Partners for Yemen' conference began Saturday in Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur, aiming to support education in Yemen. The event is sponsored and supported by Kuwait's International Islamic Charity Organization (IICO) alongside Kuwait's Rahma International Society. 'The people of Yemen are at the heart of our concerns,' Abdulrahman Al-Mutawa, Deputy General Manager for Projects at IICO, told KUNA on the sidelines of the conference. He emphasized that supporting education in Yemen 'is not a choice but a humanitarian duty' and an investment in Yemen's future. Al-Mutawa highlighted that IICO has worked extensively to support education especially in fragile conflict-affected areas, with Yemen being a top priority. 'Last year, our strategic initiatives led to the implementation of 126 education projects in 23 countries, in partnership with 56 local and international organizations,' he said. He added that these projects have benefited over 48,000 people, including more than 20,000 students receiving full sponsorship covering educational and developmental programs. Specifically in Yemen, IICO has carried out various education and humanitarian projects over the last five years worth nearly $11 million, collaborating with nine Yemeni organizations. These efforts have helped over 55,000 students inside Yemen and abroad. The projects include building three university colleges currently under construction, establishing and equipping 15 schools and technical institutes, implementing 27 higher education support projects, and 17 programs related to scholarships, sponsorships, and educational conferences. Al-Mutawa acknowledged that Yemen's educational needs still exceed current efforts. 'The scattered efforts need unification, coordination, and integration, which we hope this conference and real partnerships will achieve,' he said. Ghanem Al-Shaheen, Director of Programs and Projects at Rahma International, told KUNA this was the association's second time participating after the first conference in Istanbul. He noted Kuwait's charitable organizations and government institutions play a leading role in humanitarian support. 'We have contributed a lot to Yemen, especially in education, through our 'Tawasul' foundation there, which runs many educational projects in cooperation with the Yemeni International Development Agency organizing the conference,' he said. 'Kuwait, known as the 'Land of Humanity,' continues supporting humanitarian work worldwide.' Kuwait's Ambassador to Malaysia, Rashid Al-Saleh, said the conference reflects Kuwait's firm commitment to providing aid globally, especially in Yemen, which faces severe humanitarian challenges. He added that Kuwait's sponsorship and involvement in this conference demonstrate its belief in education as a pillar for community advancement. Yemen's Deputy Minister of Education Ali Al-Abab, praised the efforts of donor countries, including Kuwait, in supporting education and global humanitarian work. Al-Abab said the conference aims to mobilize funding specifically for education projects, considering education 'a key gateway to Yemen's progress and future.' He added the conference will discuss the challenges facing education and the humanitarian situation in Yemen and exchange ideas, experiences, and initiatives to confront these challenges. The opening ceremony included representatives from several regional and international institutions. Over two days, the conference sessions will address Yemen's worsening humanitarian crisis, one of the world's largest, highlighting the devastating impact of war on education, health, and the economy. Discussions will also focus on the limited international presence of Yemeni institutions, calling for new partnerships and ensuring the sustainability of humanitarian projects and efforts. — KUNA
