The investment company’s profit fell by 28.6 per cent compared to Dh239 million for January to June period last year. The income declined mainly on reduction in contract revenues, which dropped to Dh190 million compared to Dh291 million last year.
“The year 2012 has been promising and there has been renewed investment activity in the region which is a sign of economic growth. The tourism sector has been on the upswing for sometime and now the local real estate market is also picking up. All these factors have contributed to the group’s sustained performance,” Dubai Investments managing director and chief executive Khalid bin Kalban said in a statement. The company, which has stakes in more than 40 companies, is planning to explore new opportunities and also looking to withdraw some selected investments to boost profitability.
“Moving forward, we are targeting exits from selected investments which are expected to further contribute to the group’s profitability. We will continue to explore opportunities in strategically promising businesses in existing and new geographical locations to consolidate our position as an important player in the region while providing significant returns in the future” Kalban said.
Total assets of the company as on June 30, 2012 reached Dh13.6 billion while total liabilities amounted to Dh4.6 billion. Net worth of the company stands at Dh9 billion and the annualised return on share capital achieved for the period was 9.6 per cent.

The company’s stocks jumped by nearly two per cent on Sunday before the profit announcement. The scrip price surged 28 per cent in 2012 compared to 16 per cent in 2011.
