Management Comment
As we kick off the new year, I am pleased to present another strong set of financial and operational results, which showcase the resilience of our business model and the continued attractiveness of our value proposition. Our performance for the quarter in part reflects a high base effect resulting from exceptional sales during the comparable three-month period of last year, when widespread economic uncertainty had fueled a surge in real estate investment. Amidst a sector-wide normalization, we have successfully sustained our market position supported by a growing and increasingly diversified portfolio which continues to effectively cater to our customers’ evolving needs and tastes.
Diving deeper into this quarter’s performance, the key highlight for us was without a doubt the remarkable growth of 623.6% in unit deliveries, which surpassed the 1,000 units mark for the quarter. This noteworthy performance directly reflects a series of strategic initiatives undertaken over the past twelve months to boost construction and unit deliveries and capitalize on the robust demand for our developments. In line with this, CAPEX outlays for the period jumped 44.5% year-on-year to EGP 1.5 billion while our unrecognized revenues backlog continued to grow in Q1 2025, recording EGP 73.1 billion compared to EGP 64.9 billion this time last year. Despite the previously mentioned sector-wide normalization witnessed during the first three months of 2025, we reported encouraging financial results across the board, with margins remaining above our historical averages supported by a Company-wide strategy to optimize spending and boost operational efficiencies.
While navigating a fluid macroeconomic environment to deliver on our short-term targets, we also took meaningful steps towards our long term vision. During the quarter, we continued to invest in our innovative solutions for real estate ownership, maintenance, and facility management: Touba, Theqa, and SAFE. We take pride in being a leader in transformative real estate solutions in the Egyptian market, providing existing and potential customers with all-rounded solutions that cater to their diverse real estate needs. Our solutions place us at the forefront of Egypt’s innovative real estate landscape, aligning Madinet Masr with cutting-edge global technologies and emerging trends.
Heading into the summer months, we remain confident in our ability to grow our developments and deliver on our commitments. With a strong project pipeline, a diversified subsidiary base, and a proactive approach to market trends, Madinet Masr is well-positioned to sustain growth and generate long-term value for all of its stakeholders.
