On 14 August 2024, SHUAA Capital psc reported its Q2 2024 financial statements, revealing accumulated losses of AED 945 million, representing a 37.28% accumulated losses to capital ratio. The losses are primarily attributed to fair value losses and impairments related to investments, goodwill, and receivables, particularly in the UK and legacy real estate assets. Additional factors include losses from an associate's valuation adjustments, the recognition of a deferred tax liability due to new corporate tax laws in the UAE, and write-offs from revised land valuations and public market securities investments. To address these losses, SHUAA Capital has implemented capital optimization measures, including an agreement with noteholders to amend the terms of its USD 150 million bonds. This agreement allows for the conversion of a portion of the bonds into equity through Mandatory Convertible Bonds (MCB), with the remaining bonds potentially being settled at a discount in cash.

SHUAA Capital announced its financial results for the first half of 2024, showing an adjusted net operating loss of AED 2 million, an improvement of AED 5 million from the previous year. The company also reported a reduced net loss attributable to shareholders of AED 29.5 million in Q2 2024, down from AED 87.2 million in Q1 2024. Operating margins increased by 8% due to cost efficiencies. SHUAA continued balance sheet optimization, including asset valuation adjustments and impairments of legacy UK investments. An agreement with bondholders was reached in April 2024 to reduce leverage by over AED 500 million through mandatory convertible bonds, expected to be completed by the end of 2024. The company is focusing on business growth, increasing assets under management, securing new mandates, and attracting talent. SHUAA also increased its ownership in Eshraq to over 25%. CEO Wafik Ben Mansour expressed satisfaction with the progress and commitment to completing the capital optimization plan for sustained growth. Key financial metrics for H1 2024 included revenues of AED 50 million, an adjusted net operating income loss of AED 2 million, a cost-income ratio of 103%, one-off non-cash charges of AED 71 million, and a net loss of AED 117 million.
