Commenting on the results, Chairman of Ooredoo Sheikh Faisal Bin Thani Al-Thani said: "Ooredoo Group continues to redefine the digital infrastructure landscape of MENA. Our full-year performance, marked by a 6% YoY Revenue growth, excluding the impact of Myanmar exit, to QAR 24.6 billion and a double-digit Net Profit growth of 12% YoY to QAR 3.9 billion, demonstrates the accelerating momentum of our infrastructure-led transformation."

He added that a major milestone for the year was the completion of a secondary fully marketed global offering.

For his part, CEO of Ooredoo Group Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo said: "The Group delivered broad-based growth across our core operations, with particularly strong

performances in Algeria, Iraq, Tunisia, Kuwait and Qatar. Our continued investments in network infrastructure and our commitment to excellence in customer experience strengthened commercial performance and lifted both top-line and bottom-line results.

He stressed that Ooredoo will continue to build on its strong foundations to become the region’s leading telecom and digital-infrastructure provider.

He highlighted a focus on diversifying revenue streams, and maintaining a disciplined financial position in a bid to unlock value for all stackholders. He also highlighted digital-infrastructure as an emerging opportunity of focus for 2026. (QNA)
