Boubyan Bank | Annual Report 2023

Chairman's Message

Praise be to Allah, the Almighty, and Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his Folk, and Companions all.

Dear Valued Shareholders,

Peace and blessings be with you!

For myself and on behalf of my fellow members of the Board of Directors of Boubyan Group, it gives me great pleasure to place this 2023's Annual Report between your hands, which includes the consolidated financial statements and highlights on the financial performance of the bank, its strategic plans and goals, and most prominent achievements of the Group across many fronts in line the highest standards of transparency and governance.

The year 2023 witnessed weak growth and investment in the global economy, coupled with financial and credit weaknesses associated with the uptick in inflation and interest rate hikes along with the consequences represented in monetary policy tightening in addition to the rising geopolitical tensions and conflicts whose negative repercussions have affected the markets.

Despite these challenges and their consequences on the local market, Boubyan recorded solid growth and operational performance which was positively reflected through its financial performance across various indicators. This led to increased revenues and sustained profits for our shareholders, boosted by our flexible profits strategy against market risks and fluctuations.

Boubyan continued achieving goals and reaching milestones thanks to the solid pillars upon which the Group's vision and strategy are based. The Bank further completed its 5-year strategic plan "Boubyan 2023" started back in 2019, with the objective of positively transforming its business operations. The Group's achievements, successes, and expansions continued regionally and internationally, following a

well-tailored path that reinforced its exceptional and sustainable banking model, which is well-guided by governance and profitability at the same time.

Solid Financial Performance

Solid growth across all indicators, coupled with the sustained profits of the Group in 2023 have reinforced Boubyan's profitability and put it on the right sustainable track. Moreover, the bank's disciplined performance has helped achieve the best desired results across all business areas of the bank, leading it to record net profits of KD 80.4 million by the end of FY 2023, at a growth rate of 39%, compared with the same period of 2022.

The earnings per share amounted to 18.8 fils, compared with 13.4 in 2022, while the allocated provisions amounted to KD 31.7 million in 2023.

What makes the results of Boubyan more significant is its adoption of core business and profitability practices of the Group, which were significantly reinforced in 2023 compared with the past financial year, while maintaining an NPL percentage, which is considered one of the lowest locally.
