Dur Hospitality’s investment portfolio reaches SAR 2.5 bln, says CEO

11/11/2018 Argaam

 

Dur Hospitality Co.’s investment portfolio currently amounts to SAR 2.5 billion, CEO Bader Al-Bader told CNBC Arabia.

 

Two or three hospitality properties will also be operational in 2019, he further continued.

 

Al-Bader attributed the rise in third quarter net profit to higher revenue driven by the new units that went into service in Riyadh, as well as improved operations during Hajj season.

 

Meanwhile, the firm saw higher financial charges because of the expansion projects. It signed loan agreements worth SAR 1 billion, of which it only used half, Al-Bader said.

 

The high-cost projects depend on bank financing in addition to the firm’s resources.  

 

Al-Bader also noted that the opening of Riyadh Marriott Hotel is expected to contribute to profitability next year, as it needs time to positively reflect on the company’s revenues.
