“Following the implementation of our new strategy in late 2020, Amanat has delivered record revenue and profitability. We have successfully exited our minority investments and acquired high quality assets with strong growth potential in long-term care and special education and care needs, enabling the creation of two market leading platforms with robust fundamentals and a high monetization potential. This is reflected in our strong financial performance in the first nine months of 2023, ensuring we’re on track to deliver a record set of results for full year 2023.
“Looking forward, we have a clear strategy for growth and value creation. We have an active deployment pipeline focused on K-12 opportunities in the UAE and KSA and continue to explore options to realize significant shareholder value across the portfolio, including through potential monetization events.” Amanat’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, John Ireland, added:
“Our portfolio experienced strong growth in the first nine months of 2023, delivering a 44% increase in revenue, driven in particular by our education platform which saw significant student enrolment growth across both our higher education and special needs businesses. This translated through to increased profitability with 9M 2023 EBITDA of AED 173.7 million and Net Profit of AED 88.2 million, up 65% and 73% respectively year-on-year.”
