Revenue: Grew by 40% year-on-year to AED 718.1 million in FY 2023, driven by almost two-fold growth at the Education platform, supported by higher enrollments and the acquisition of our special education needs business, and growth at the Healthcare platform through the consolidation of Sukoon and the continued expansion of our long-term care offering in KSA

EBITDA: Increased by 43% year-on-year to AED 268.7 million in FY 2023

Net Profit: Grew by 39% year-on-year to AED 155.1 million in FY 2023

Balance sheet: AED 582.3 million of cash at year-end and low leverage providing significant capital to deploy on growth opportunities and return value to shareholders

Value creation: Strong growth trajectory across both platforms with active deployment pipeline to unlock further value and potential for near-term monetization to drive shareholder returns

Amanat’s Chairman, Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, said:

“It is a honor to be appointed Chairman of Amanat, one of the leading investors and operators in education and healthcare in the MENA region. The Company operates in two strategically important and growing sectors and I am focused on working with the Board and management teams to accelerate our platform growth plans, capitalizing on healthcare and education opportunities in the region and driving returns to shareholders, including through potential platform monetization events.”

 Commenting on the results, John Ireland, Amanat’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, added:

“I am pleased to announce that Amanat delivered record results in 2023, maintaining its strong growth trajectory. Revenue increased 40% year-on-year, largely driven by the impressive performance of our education platform, which benefited from record enrollments, up 18% year-on-year, as well as growth and a full year contribution from our special education needs business. The strong revenue performance drove increased profitability with EBITDA and Net Profit increasing 43% and 39%, respectively, year-on-year.”
