Depa PLC (“Depa”), the leading global interior solutions group, announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Summary highlights include:
Kevin Lewis, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The construction industry faced significant challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2022 has been a recovery year from this pandemic. Depa Group has achieved strong financial results compared to 2021. The Group's ability to adapt to changing market conditions and focus on cost optimisation has helped it emerge from the pandemic in 2022.
In 2022, the Group entered into a definitive subscription agreement with the Public Investment Fund (“PIF”), whereby PIF made a cash investment of AED 150 million in Depa in return for the allotment of 750 million new Class A shares. The proceeds were used to recapitalise the business and provide additional working capital which assisted Depa in delivering both its existing projects and future projects. This strategic partnership has further led to growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where the Group had secured multiple hospitality projects.
The business units have achieved strong revenue growth along with delivering a net profit for the year.
In 2022 Group recognised a net profit of AED 59.1 million from its continuing operations as compared to AED 27.2 million loss in 2021.”
Muteb Al Shathri, Non-executive Chairman, commented:
”Depa’s performance in 2022 has significantly improved compared to 2021. Depa was able to achieve strong revenue growth and backlog in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Public Investment Fund’s investment in Depa has propelled this growth in the Kingdom and the Middle East.
The board looks forward to supporting management as they continue to build on this positive momentum.”
