The profit growth was due to a 1% year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenues and a 3% YoY decrease in operating expenses (opex) for the six-month period. The company also cited the acquisition of minority interests in Al Yasmin International, Al-Alson International, and Glory Generation International Schools.

 

This was despite a 35% YoY leap in financing costs in H1 2023/24 due to the borrowing related to the acquisition of minority interests in Al Yasmin International, Al-Alson International, and Glory Generation International Schools, in addition to the purchase of a land plot in Irqah district and higher SAIBOR rate.
