Financial Summary
In May 2023, MEEZA successfully concluded its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) with an oversubscribed order book covered by Qualified and Retail Investors.  It is worth noting that MEEZA is coordinating with the relevant regulatory authorities to finalize the final technical arrangements required to set the listing date of its shares on the Qatar Stock Exchange main market.
In the first half of 2023, MEEZA’s Net Profit reached QR 29.7 million, representing a 17.8% (or QR 4.5 million) increase over the same period last year and the highest first half year profit in the Company’s history, mainly driven by EBITDA and finance income growth.  Net Profit Margin for the period was 13.4% and Earnings Per Share (EPS) was QR 0.05.

The Company’s revenue grew by 41.9% (or QR 65.5 million) to reach QR 221.8 million, led by growth in the IT Solution Services and Managed Services segments.

EBITDA for the period increased by 4.2% (or QR 2.6 million) to reach QR 64.0 million, primarily driven by revenue growth and continued cost optimization.  EBITDA margin declined from 39.3% to 28.9% due to a higher contribution of IT Solution Services revenue to the overall revenue mix.
MEEZA’s Data Centre Occupancy reached 83% as of 30 June 2023. The Company increased its supply capacity to 24.4MW in October 2022 to meet ever-growing demand from the market.
