Qatar Navigation Q.P.S.C. (Milaha) today announced its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Key financial highlights:
Milaha Maritime & Logistics’ operating revenue decreased by QR 62 million and net profit by QR 27 million compared with the same period in 2019. The segment was negatively impacted by COVID19 -related increases in health and safety expenses and disruptions in supply chains which caused volume and work reductions.
Milaha Gas & Petrochem’s operating revenue increased by QR 29 million, with net profit increasing by QR 135 million against the same period last year. The increases were driven by higher market shipping rates and strong performance from our joint venture and associate companies.
Milaha Offshore’s operating revenue increased by QR 13 million, with the bottom line decreasing by QR 14 million versus the same period in 2019. Despite a strong 3-point increase in operating margin from 11% in 2019 to 14% in 2020, the segment’s results were dragged down by vessel impairments.
Milaha Capital’s revenue decreased by QR 65 million and net profit by QR 128 million compared to the same period in 2019. Gains on sale of properties were more than offset by lower rental income and a one-time impairment on an investment property.
Milaha Trading’s revenue decreased by QAR 74 million and bottom line decreased by QAR 1 million, with declines in heavy equipment sales being the main contributing factor.
The company will conduct an investor conference call on Wednesday, October 26th, 2020 at 14:30 Doha time, to further discuss its results.
