Al Mahhar Holding Company (Al Mahhar) posted an 8.1% increase in net profit to QR28.8mn (QR26.7mn in H1 2025) over revenues of QR487.0mn in H1 2026.Al Mahhar’s H1 2026 revenue reflected continued operational momentum across its core business segments despite logistical challenges affecting the supply of equipment and materials during the period. The revenue performance was supported by strong growth in equipment rental income of 11.6% year-on-year (y-o-y), which offset a moderation in equipment and spare parts sales, and by the increasing contribution of higher-margin service and rental activities, consistent with the company's strategic focus on energy-linked initiatives. Equipment and spare sales remained the main contributor, accounting for 81.8% of total revenue, down from 82.8% in the previous year, followed by service income at 12.3% and equipment rental at 5.9%, both of which increased their share of revenue compared to the prior year.Gross profit remained broadly stable at QR84.1mn, with gross margin improving to 17.3% from 17.0% in H1 2025, supported by a favourable shift in revenue mix towards the higher-margin rental division and a reduction in slow-moving inventory provisions.Net profit margin improved to 5.9% in H1 2026 from 5.3% in the previous period, supported by internal efficiencies, disciplined cost management and increased contributions from its associate companies. Additionally, net profit attributable to equity holders increased by 4.5% to QR27.3mn. The improvement was driven by higher contributions from equipment rental revenue, which carry comparatively higher margins, enhanced internal efficiencies, and lower finance costs.The company maintains a strong financial position, with total assets increasing to QR681.8mn as of June 30, 2026, up from QR651.9mn as of December 31, 2025. Total equity increased to QR374.8mi, compared to QR371.9mn at year-end 2025. Earnings per share for the period remained consistent with H1 2025 EPS of QR0.13. Al Mahhar paid a dividend of QR0.15 per share in 2025, totalling QR31.1mn, approved at the April 15, 2026 Annual General Assembly. Cash and cash equivalents remained robust at QR103.6mn as of June 30, 2026, broadly in line with QR103.1mn as of December 31, 2025, providing continued financial flexibility.The company continues to advance its internal efficiency initiatives, with a sustained focus on cost control, process optimisation and disciplined resource management. These initiatives have supported profitability and margin stability, reinforcing the company's focus on operational excellence and long-term value creation.Al Mahhar chairman Fahad Alfardan said, “The results achieved in the first half of 2026 reflect the resilience of our business and the dedication of our team in navigating a challenging operating environment. “Despite logistical headwinds affecting the broader region, we delivered growth in net profit and continued to improve our margins, which is a testament to the strength of our operational platform and the effectiveness of our cost discipline.” He added: “Qatar's energy sector continues to present meaningful and long-term opportunities for the group, and we remain well-positioned to support the significant national projects shaping the country's industrial future. “As we look to the second half of the year, we are focused on building on this momentum, deepening our customer relationships, and executing our strategy with discipline and purpose to deliver sustainable value for our shareholders.”
