Investment and education firm Amanat has posted a 38% y-o-y increase to AED 159.3 mn in adjusted net income after tax and Zakat for 2023, according to its earnings release (pdf) reads. The company incurred a AED 43.8 mn loss on an unadjusted basis due to the impact of one-time non-cash accounting adjustments. Revenues grew 40% y-o-y to AED 718 mn, due to the growth of its education and healthcare platforms — partly due to fresh acquisitions.
