GFH Chairman and CEO's Commentary
Mr. Abdulmohsen Rashed Al Rashed
Chairman
- We're delighted to announce continued growth and enhanced profitability for the first quarter of 2024, marked by double-digit increases to the top and bottom line.
- These results reflect the sound contributions made from the Group's subsidiaries, and strong income generated from placements and fees from the Group's investment portfolios and treasury activities.
- Ongoing growth and progress remain rooted in the success of the Group's strategy and its focus on investing in well-performing defensive sectors and high-growth markets, in the region and internationally, where we have an active and growing presence.
- Having entered the year with positive momentum, we look forward to further expanding the Group's investments across core business lines and geographies and generating even greater value for shareholders and investors throughout the remainder of the year
Mr Hisham Alrayes
CEO and Board Member
- We are pleased to announce another quarter of growth and solid performance for the first three months of the year, where income increased by 55.1% and consolidated net profits rose by 13% year over year
- Gains made during the quarter are the result of further growth and enhanced contributions from our investment banking business and treasury and proprietary investments, as well as healthy income generated from our commercial banking activities
- During the quarter, we successfully made and placed new investments in recession-proof sectors and high-growth regional and global markets, worked to maximise the value of our existing portfolios, and secured several well-timed and profitable exits.
- GFH Partners closed additional new investments in the US in our key medical clinics and student housing sectors for US$450 million, as well as in the fast-growing electrical infrastructure services sector.
- We also generated solid income from the partial sale of our stake in Gulf Holding Company K.S.C.C and sold a 25% stake in Khaleeji Bank, which saw us bring on board new strategic shareholders as we work to take the Bank to the next level.
