The earnings per share of QR0.77 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to QR0.75 for the same period in 2022.

Milaha Maritime & Logistics’ net profit decreased by QR245m driven by the steep decline in container shipping market rates.

Milaha Offshore’s net profit increased by QR87m mainly from higher yielding projects and improved utilization of key assets.

Milaha Capital’s net profit increased by QR133m, driven by the non-recurrence of a 2022 real estate property impairment, coupled with increased income from our investment arm.

Milaha Trading’s bottom line increased by QR 6m, mainly from the growth in higher margin product sales.
