Drake and Scull International PJSC reported a net profit of AED 5.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, marking a significant improvement from a net loss of AED 34.9 million in the same period last year. The company's revenues grew by 13% to AED 21.5 million, driven by increased activity in India, Romania, and Tunisia. For the first nine months of 2024, Drake and Scull achieved a year-to-date profit of AED 3.8 billion, largely due to a write-back of AED 3.75 billion in liabilities as part of their restructuring process. Earnings per share for this period were AED 1.88, compared to a loss per share of AED 0.18 last year. The restructuring has strengthened the company's financial position, increasing total assets to AED 715.6 million and improving equity to AED 174.1 million, while also reducing debt through the conversion of some obligations into Mandatory Convertible Sukuks.
