Madinet Nasr Housing and Development records net profits of EGP 1.1bn in 2020
Company plans to distribute EGP 648m cash dividends for second consecutive year
Alyaa Stohy Published in Daily News Egypt on 01 - 03 - 2021

Madinet Nasr Housing & Development (MNHD) announced, on Sunday, its business results for 2020, revealing that it saw net profit of EGP 1.1bn.
This reflected a net profit margin of 32%, and a growth rate of 2% compared to 2019. It also reported consolidated revenues of EGP 3.1bn.
Presales grew by 11% year-on-year (y-o-y) from EGP 6.3bn in fiscal year (FY) 2018/19, to record EGP 7bn in FY 2019/20. Growth in presales for the year was largely driven by increased demand on Taj City and Sarai developments.
The total number of units sold in Taj City and Sarai in 2020 was 1,548 units, compared to the 1,301 units sold in 2019, reflecting an increase of 19%. Total built-up area (BUA) of units sold in Taj city and Sarai in 2020 stood at 258,000 sqm, compared to 212,000 sqm sold in 2019, an increase of 22%.
In addition to this, the company saw the sale of 198,000 sqm of mix-use land in Taj City. MNHD sold and delivered 440 units in its Nasr Gardens project, located in the 6th of October City.
The company invested EGP 3.5bn in construction and infrastructure works in 2020, an 102% increase from 2019's EGP 1.7bn, paving the way to continue delivery of around 4,000 units in SARAI and Taj City.
"While 2020 was a challenging year for the economy in general, and the real estate market in particular, due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and associated precautionary measures, MNHD continued delivery of outstanding operational performance and financial results backed by strong capabilities of land bank, managerial, financial, and human resources," according to MNHD CEO Ahmed El Hitamy, "[This] enabled MNHD to adopt flexible strategies to efficiently response to market developments, through promotional cash sale programmes, and sale of land to other real estate developers offering products different from MNHD's."
Commenting on the dividends, El Hitamy added, "The Company has realised good cash inflows to secure EGP 648m for cash dividends to our shareholders (EGP 0.45/share)."
He noted that the company plans for a 4% stock dividend, and will continue work on converting its profits in a short time into dividends to shareholders. This will enable them to monetise the return on their investment in MNHD.
