Al Baraka posts strong quarterly turnaround

TDT | Manama Al Baraka Group has reported a strong financial turnaround in the first quarter of 2025, reversing last year's losses and delivering a 19% rise in net income attributable to shareholders. The Group registered USD 34 million in total comprehensive income during the quarter, a sharp contrast to a USD 60 million loss in the same period of 2024. Earnings rebound The Group's net income attributable to the parent company's shareholders rose to USD 46 million in Q1 2025, up from USD 39 million last year. Total net income also saw a 19% increase, reaching USD 91 million. Executives credited the gains to rising financing volumes, expanded activity in key markets including Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt, and lower foreign currency translation losses. Basic earnings per share improved to 3.84 US cents, compared to 3.23 US cents in Q1 2024. Strengthening capital Al Baraka's total equity attributable to shareholders and sukuk holders rose 2% to reach USD 1.28 billion, while total equity grew to USD 2.03 billion by the end of March. The Group also recorded a 4% increase in total assets, which stood at USD 27.24 billion, driven by stronger customer deposits and business growth in core markets.

Al Baraka Group continues outstanding performance in Q1 2025

Al Baraka Group B.S.C. (c) ('the Group') continued to achieve strong financial results, recording significant growth in profitability and operational metrics during the first quarter of 2025. The net income attributable to the parent company's shareholders rose by 19% to reach USD 46 million, compared to USD 39 million in Q1 2024. Basic earnings per share stood at 3.84 US cents in Q1 2025, up from 3.23 US cents in the same quarter of 2024. This substantial improvement is attributed mainly to the growth in financing volumes and business expansion in key markets such as Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt, which positively impacted the Group's operating income. The Group also announced a notable increase in total comprehensive income attributable to Al Baraka shareholders, registering profits of USD 34 million by the end of Q1 2025, compared to a loss of USD 60 million during the same period last year. This improvement was primarily due to a reduction in the foreign currency translation reserve. Additionally, the Group recorded a significant 19% upsurge in total net income, which reached USD 91 million in Q1 2025, up from USD 77 million in the same period of 2024. This was mainly driven by increased profits from financing and investments in the Group's key banking subsidiaries ('Units'), along with a reduction in provisions despite the continued rise in funding costs. The transfer of 2024's net income to retained earnings, combined with the recorded net income for Q1 2025, led to a 2% rise in total equity attributable to the parent company's shareholders and sukuk holders, reaching USD 1.28 billion by the end of March 2025, compared to USD 1.24 billion as of the end of December 2024. Total equity reached USD 2.03 billion at the end of March 2025, up from USD 2.00 billion in December 2024, marking a 1% increase for the same reasons. Driven by business growth and an expanding customer base, the Group saw an increase in both financing and deposits, particularly in its main markets. As a result, total assets grew to USD 27.24 billion by the end of March 2025, compared to USD 26.19 billion at the end of 2024, reflecting a 4% growth. Commenting on these results, Sheikh Abdullah Saleh Kamel, Chairman of the Board, said: 'In the first quarter of 2025 Al Baraka Group successfully built upon the strong financial performance achieved last year. The Group continued to strengthen its presence and expand its market share in the key countries where it operates, remaining vigilant against adverse global economic and financial conditions while steadily advancing business growth, financing, and deposits. This has significantly boosted income and net profits. We shall continue leveraging our strong financial resources and broad network to enhance our business and customer base and maximize investment returns, while remaining committed to serving the communities where we operate.' Mr. Houssem Ben Haj Amor, Board Member and Group CEO, added: 'Despite the volatile investment climate and uncertainty stemming from regional and global geopolitical and economic developments, the Group and its Units have acquired deep experience in adapting to such conditions. Meanwhile, the Group continues to focus on its core objectives of strengthening financial resilience and increasing returns from financing and investment portfolios through building market confidence in our products and services, and leveraging our banking competencies that continuously work on innovative solutions, which boost our competitiveness. Such innovations include the 'Trade Finance Platform' and the 'Borderless Banking' initiatives, which we launched last year. We also continue to maintain comprehensive oversight of risks, compliance, and governance controls.'
