The real estate firm achieved net profits of EGP 379.59 million from July 2019 until the end of last March, compared to EGP 39.59 million in the corresponding period a year earlier, according to a bourse disclosure on Wednesday.

In addition, the company’s revenues hiked to EGP 1.13 billion in the said period from EGP 468.59 million during the same period in FY18/29.
