The decline in net profit can be attributed to a temporary drop in the remittance segment and increased

performance in the future.

through diversification. The company reported a 9.0% increase in demand across all other products and
services, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic market.
The digital transformation is also evident in the company's operations. Al Ansari Financial Services recorded a
27.5% year-on-year growth in digital transactions, underscoring the importance of technology in today's
financial landscape.

shareholders is evident in its dividend policy, which promises to distribute a minimum of 70% of distributable
