Beltone Holding successfully completes its capital increase
Cairo – Beltone Holding ('Beltone' or the 'Company') has successfully completed its second capital increase, securing EGP10.5 billion with a remarkable 98% subscription coverage. This outstanding result is a clear reflection of the confidence placed in the company by both shareholders and the market, reinforcing its successful growth and strong market position.
Notably, the majority of the subscription was secured through foreign investments, highlighting the strong confidence international investors have in Beltone's strategy for sustainable growth.
Dalia Khorshid, Group CEO and Managing Director, commented: 'This second capital increase marks a defining milestone in Beltone's growth journey, reflecting the trust we've earned from our shareholders and the market's recognition of our strong and impactful growth. Guided by a data-driven strategy, and powered by an exceptional team, we are accelerating growth across our platforms, with a strong focus on strategic expansion, AI, and digital transformation.'
The proceeds from the capital increase will be strategically deployed to fuel Beltone's growth across its platforms, focusing on expanding into high-growth markets, enhancing its digitally scalable capabilities, broadening its product offerings, and attracting top-tier talent to continue driving operational excellence and innovation.
In 2024, Beltone posted record-breaking financial results that underscore its transition into a strong growth phase. Consolidated operating revenues reached EGP7.2 billion, growing nearly 4x year-on-year, while net profit surged 4.6x year-on-year to exceed EGP1.7 billion. This exceptional performance was driven by significant contributions from across the company's platforms, led by the Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) platform, which generated EGP5.8 billion in operating revenues, an almost 6x increase year-on-year—and the Investment Banking platform, which recorded revenues of EGP1.3 billion, up 2.4x year-on-year.
This successful capital raise reinforces Beltone's position as a future-focused financial powerhouse, committed to delivering sustainable growth and value creation for all stakeholders.

New Bain & Company Analysis Reveals Zero-Based Cost Management Can Cut Costs by Up to 25% and Boost Shareholder Returns by 150%
New Bain & Company Analysis Reveals Zero-Based Cost Management Can Cut Costs by Up to 25% and Boost Shareholder Returns by 150% Bain & Company's latest cost-management analysis, The New Case for Zero-Based Cost Management, explains how a clean-sheet approach to cost discipline helps companies offset rising costs, free up funds to reinvest in growth and resilience, and widen their lead on competitors, even in turbulent times. Zero-based cost management enables leadership teams to rapidly shrink the firm's cost base as much as 25 percent and redeploy savings to spur growth, expand operating margins, and boost flexibility and competitiveness. Bain's 2025 Operations Reinvention COO Survey finds that two-thirds of global executives say new tariffs are forcing them to accelerate cost cuts and price increases. Bain's analysis of 5,000 companies globally shows that sustained value creators, those delivering both real top-line growth and positive economic value added over the past decade, have outperformed peers by 150 percent in total shareholder return. These leaders embed profitable-growth capabilities that hold up throughout economic cycles, industries, and geographies, underscoring the role of cost discipline in long-term outperformance. The brief describes three levels of cost management: Benchmarking and setting targets – the brute-force approach most companies use, with cost reductions that typically last only one or two years before creeping back. Redesigning the work – some firms deploy zero-based redesign (ZBR) to reset how work is done, strengthen capabilities that provide competitive differentiation while streamlining functions that are less critical, and tap generative AI for larger productivity gains. Embedding a cost-management mindset – the few winners that sustain gains treat cost discipline as a strategic priority, build capabilities in people, processes, and technology to create and sustain impact, foster a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, and use zero-based budgeting to reallocate scarce resources to their most productive uses. The most effective companies share a distinguishing feature when retooling costs: CEO and CFO engagement in a full change management effort. These leaders acknowledge at the outset that cost management requires new skills and a new mindset. They play a major role in shaping the goal and ambition, and design programs that address the potential barriers to change. Finally, they build the strategic case for change, instead of just implementing it. In doing so, they bring the organization with them. Businesses face an increasingly unpredictable future as costs mount and risks multiply. Those that embrace all three levels of cost management will be able to navigate near-term market shifts, even as they gain a competitive edge for the long term.
