Dubai Islamic Insurance & Reinsurance Company (Aman) has announced its preliminary financial results for the year ending December 31, 2020, with a net profit attributable to shareholders of Dh19 million, an increase of 117 per cent over 2019’s net profit of Dh8.7 million.
The strong results demonstrate the initial benefits being delivered by its new growth strategy to drive financial performance through a dual focus on operational expansion and improved investment performance. Overall, Aman's 2020 gross written contributions reached Dh229.2 million, with a profit of Dh2.6 million attributable to policyholders.
Shareholders' equity also increased by 14.6 per cent from Dh74.3 million to Dh85.1 million during the period.
Saleh Al Hashemi, chairman of Aman’s Board of Directors, said, "Aman has delivered its objective of securing value for all stakeholders and demonstrated its resilience in extremely challenging market conditions. During the year we established an ambitious new three-year growth plan and we will build on the initial benefits already achieved to realize our goal to be a leader in the UAE’s Takaful Insurance market."
“Looking ahead, we will be relentlessly focused on our new investment strategy and business process optimization, as well as pioneering new products and solutions in line with our heritage of innovation. We remain confident that in this way we will create significant and lasting value for our shareholders, policyholders and business partners,” he said.
In addition to investing in new technology to improve productivity, Aman has also continued to downsize non-strategic assets and close unprofitable branches, which will have a positive impact on the company's profitability in the long run.
Aman's CEO Jihad Faitrouni, added: "The doubling in our net profit shows that the new strategy, under the leadership of our visionary board, is already beginning to pay off. The company has managed to make significant progress in strengthening and growing its core businesses and diversifying its product and service offerings amidst the challenges of the global pandemic. As a result, we are optimistic that we can deliver the right services and support to all stakeholders, execute on our growth plans and increase our market share in 2021 and beyond."
At the start of Q4 2020, Aman embarked on its ambitious three-year strategy to strengthen its financial performance and grow its partner network, as well as attract new business and customers. This was in line with the board's plan to optimize the investment portfolio to deliver returns for both policyholders and shareholders.
