Emirates Steel Arkan, a leading steel and building materials manufacturer, has reported a revenue of AED 2.14 billion and EBITDA of AED 294 million for Q1 2024. Despite challenging global market conditions, the company maintained a strong performance due to a robust UAE domestic market. However, a slowdown in the Chinese economy and a lack of investor confidence in Europe affected steel prices and increased freight costs due to regional geopolitical challenges. This led to an 8% YoY decrease in net profit before tax. The company has also entered a memorandum with Omani counterparts to explore a green metal project and has been recognized as a 2024 Steel Sustainability Champion by the World Steel Association.
