Depa PLC (“Depa”), the leading global interior solutions group, announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Summary highlights include:
Kevin Lewis, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The Group’s performance in 2021 was much improved following a difficult year in 2020, with Vedder and Deco Group both delivering a net profit for the year. Depa Interiors saw its overall financial performance significantly improve on its 2020 results with some project extensions during the latter part of the year negatively impacting its results. “In 2021 Group recognised a net profit of AED 84.3 million (AED 67.3 million after non-controlling interests) from discontinued operations, as a result of the gain due to the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of DSG which was partially offset by the financial performance of DSG up to the point of deconsolidation in November 2021 and inter-group receivable write offs.
“Whilst the trading conditions in which the group operates remain challenging, Depa has made steady progress on its expansion plans to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Following the recent completion of the transaction with the Public Investment Fund, Depa looks forward to benefitting from the enhanced opportunities that this strategic partnership presents in Saudi Arabia.”
Abdullah Al Mazrui, Non-executive Chairman, commented:
”Depa’s performance over this last year in difficult circumstances has been very pleasing. Throughout the year management have focused on securing the future of the Group and in early 2022, successfully completed a transaction with the Public Investment Fund.
“Following Depa’s much improved performance in 2021, the board looks forward to supporting management as they continue to build on this positive momentum.”
