I wanted to welcome everyone to Qatari Investors Group's fourth quarter and year-end 2025 results conference call. So on this call from QIG management, we have, Hossam El Kurdi, who is the Chief Executive Officer, and Fadi Khoury, who is the CFO. So we will conduct this conference with management, first reviewing the company's results, followed by a Q&A. I would now like to turn the call over to Hossam. Hossam, please go ahead.
Thank you. Thank you. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I will go over a review in English, followed by the same review in Arabic, and then we will move into the questions and answers. Ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to welcome you to the Qatari Investors Group, QIG, IR call. My name is Hossam El Kurdi, the Chief Executive Officer of the group, and with me, Mr. Fadi Khoury, the Chief Financial Officer. We are pleased to present to you the result of QIG Group for the year 2025. In this call, we will highlight the financial performance of the group and the progress achieved during this year. The group recorded a total revenue of QAR 552 million for 2025, which representing a 10% increase compared to last year.
This increase was primarily driven by the increase in the industrial sector and the increase in contracting activities such as security sector. Other sectors, such as the marine services, are showing a decline in revenue as shipping volume has dropped in the country, and it shall improve in 2026. The group's net profit for the year amounting to QAR 144 million, a 12% decrease as compared to last year. EBITDA reached QAR 256 million for the period, which represent a 14% lower than last year. Finally, we focus our effort to implement a strategy of diversification and investment to make more achievements that benefit the group and enable us to play an active role in supporting Qatar's economic vision. Thank you. Now I will move to the Arabic part.
