The results have showed a net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent amounted to QAR 912 million, and earnings per share amounted to QAR 2.34 compared to net profit amounted to QAR 1,201 million and earnings per share amounted to QAR 3.09 for same period in 2016.  The decrease in the net profit resulted from the decrease in the profits resulted from few non-recurring items like revaluation gain from investment properties and other income, in addition to the termination of the finance leases of one of the subsidiaries of the Group, which resulted in collecting QR 1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2017. However, on the operational level, the group has succeeded to enhance its operating income by increasing its net rental income by QAR 62 million with a 15% increase compared to the same period of the year 2016.
