Disclosure: Press Release Regarding Financial Results of the Year 2023

Aramex, a global logistics and transportation solutions provider, reported a 2x growth in Q4 2023 Group Net Income, achieving the highest-ever quarterly volumes in International Express, despite challenging market conditions and currency fluctuations. However, the growth was offset by a decline in revenues from other products, including Freight Forwarding and Domestic Express and Logistics products. The company's Gross Profit improved by 2% YoY in Q4 2023 to AED 389 million, largely due to efficiency maximizing initiatives and cost optimization. Despite a decrease in revenue, the EBITDA for Q4 2023 surged by 33% to AED 197 million and 2% YoY in FY 2023, achieving a healthy EBITDA margin of 13% in Q4 2023, and 11% for the fiscal year.
