\u201cThe second quarter delivered exceptionally strong results, with 19% revenue growth driven by a 12%
increase in patient footfall and improved yield. EBITDA rose by 59%, accompanied by a margin uplift to
22%. This robust performance significantly strengthened the first-half outcome, underscoring Burjeel
Holdings\u2019 resilience and long-term sustainable growth.
\u201cThese results reflect tangible progress in key operational areas such as physician manpower
optimization, formulary management, and cost control, while our strategic focus on super-specialty care is
beginning to yield measurable benefits, enhancing both revenue and profitability. We continue to invest in
high-value services and next-generation care facilities to support long-term momentum.
\u201cWe also advanced key strategic priorities, reinforcing leadership in complex care across oncology,
transplants, fertility, mental health, and diagnostics. Our oncology platform is now the UAE\u2019s largest
private network, featuring new cancer clinics and cell and gene therapy capabilities. The Alkalma mental<\/p>\n\n\n\n
health platform is scaling regionally, alongside rehabilitation services through over 30 PhysioTherabia
centers in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, we introduced the region\u2019s first Osseointegration Clinic for cutting-
edge prosthetic care.
\u201cIn parallel with expanding our network of primary care and medical centers, we deepened partnerships
with government and corporate stakeholders and accelerated digital integration through Oracle Health
EMR and AI-powered tools. Building on this platform, we entered into pivotal partnerships in oncology,
value-based care, diagnostics, and international healthcare innovation, establishing the Group as the
healthcare partner of choice.
\u201cBurjeel Holdings is uniquely positioned to capture significant opportunities across the region, supported
by rising demand for complex care and a growing population. Our focus remains on converting recent
investments into sustained expansion and margin improvement, while maintaining disciplined financial
management to support long-term shareholder value. Net profit growth of 129% in the reporting quarter
reinforces this trajectory and strengthens the foundation for consistent shareholder returns.\u201d
