How the Market Reacted?

The FY 2024 results announcement focuses on operating and financial performance and does not mention the share price reaction on the London Stock Exchange. Based on the strong double‑digit growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and net profit, alongside margin expansion and a sizeable increase in cash balances, the overall tone of the release is constructive and management’s outlook is cautiously optimistic heading into 2025.

However, risks remain from macroeconomic volatility in Egypt and Nigeria and ongoing conflict in Sudan and parts of the wider region, which management acknowledges as continuing headwinds. In absence of explicit trading data, the immediate after‑hours stock movement cannot be assessed from the announcement.
