Egypt’s Arab Aluminium Company (AAC), known for manufacturing extruded aluminium profiles for a wide range of industries like industrial and architectural, has reported a steep reversal in fortunes in the first half of 2025. It has moved from healthy profits last year to a net loss after tax of EGP 5.742 million (approximately USD 117,950), according to its latest financial disclosures.
The loss per share was EGP 0.14 in the period ending June 2025, as compared to a profit per share of EGP 0.33 (0.0068 USD) in the equivalent period a year earlier. The change followed a difficult start to the year for AAC, where the company had already recorded a Q1 loss of EGP 6 million (USD 120,760), reversing a Q1 2024 net profit of EGP 6.1 million (USD 120,904)
Interestingly, the losses occurred despite a better performance in sales. Revenues were up 12 per cent year-on-year in H1 2025 to EGP 279.021 million (USD 5.76 million), up from EGP 249.435 million (USD 5.15 million) in H1 2024. In Q1 alone, revenue grew to EGP 127.162 million (USD 2.63 million), up from EGP 98.351 million (USD 2.03 million) the prior year. The market capitalisation of AAC is about EGP 568.88 million (USD 11.74 million), and its share price was around EGP 13.98 (USD 0.29) on 13 August 2025.
