Taaleem Holdings PJSC, a leading K-12 premium education provider in the UAE, reported strong financial results for Q1 2024/25. The company achieved operating revenues of AED 306.1 million, marking a 14.8% increase compared to the previous year. Net profit rose by 46.3% to AED 68.2 million, with a margin increase to 22.3%, partly due to a one-off deferred tax from the previous year. The company saw a 12.3% increase in student enrolment and a 3.0% rise in average gross tuition fees for premium schools. Taaleem expanded its operations by acquiring Lycée Libanais Francophone Privé Meydan and assets from Amity, with a total capital expenditure of AED 437.5 million. The company's EBITDA increased by 7.6% to AED 108.0 million. The addition of two premium schools and one new PPP school increased the total number of schools to 34, with significant growth in both premium and PPP segments. However, the rapid expansion led to a temporary decline in utilisation rates for the premium segment.
