“Esteemed Shareholders,

It is my privilege, on behalf of the Board of Directors, to present Aamal Company’s Annual Report for 2024. This report reflects our company’s strong performance and the resilience of our strategy, which has driven growth and kept us on course despite the challenges of an evolving and dynamic market.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to our outgoing board members for their invaluable contributions to Aamal’s success. Their guidance and dedication have played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s journey.

I am also deeply grateful for the wise leadership of H.H. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, whose vision and policies continue to foster a dynamic and resilient economy. Qatar’s strong governance, strategic investments, and commitment to economic diversification provide a solid foundation for long-term, sustainable growth—one that Aamal is well-positioned to contribute to and benefit from.

I am pleased to announce a robust set of results for Aamal in 2024, delivering an impressive 18% rise in year-on-year total net profit as well as a 1.1% increase in total revenue. Throughout the year, we successfully navigated fluctuating market dynamics while remaining agile to new opportunities and challenges, recording solid performances across our segments, particularly Industrial Manufacturing and Managed Services. These results are a testament to the resilience of Aamal’s diversified business model, the adept leadership of our management teams, along with our sustained strategic focus on optimising operational efficiency and investing in high-growth sectors.

Qatar’s 2025 budget is fully aligned with the nation’s strategic vision to foster economic diversification within the framework of the Qatar National Vision 2030. The country’s GDP is projected to grow by 2.4% in 2025, driven by increased investment, private and public consumption, and growing hydrocarbon output. The North Field LNG expansion project will continue to support medium-term growth, while non-oil activity remains the main driver of economic expansion, fueled by government investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and energy. As a leading player in industrial manufacturing, trading, and managed services, Aamal is well positioned to capitalize on these emerging opportunities and contribute meaningfully to Qatar’s economic transformation.

Looking ahead, I am confident that Aamal’s strong financial position and market leadership across key sectors provide a solid foundation for continued growth in Qatar and beyond. Our strategic focus remains on delivering value to all stakeholders, whether through operational excellence, business expansion, or sustainable investments that align with Qatar’s economic ambitions. As we build on this strong performance, we remain committed to enhancing our diverse portfolio, strengthening our partnerships, and supporting the long-term development of the Qatari economy.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our employees, management team, and board members for their unwavering dedication and expertise, which continue to drive Aamal’s success. In recognition of our strong results, I am pleased to propose a 6% dividend for shareholder approval at today’s assembly meeting.”
