Oriental Weavers 2025 profit

Cairo-based Oriental Weavers, the global carpet giant controlled by Egyptian businesswoman Yasmine Mohamed Khamis and her siblings, reported resilient top-line growth in 2025, navigating economic and geopolitical headwinds to deliver a 10% increase in annual revenue, even as net profit declined amid margin pressures.

According to its recently released annual results, revenue for the year ended December 31 climbed 9.61% year-on-year to EGP26.62 billion ($541.1 million) from EGP24.29 billion ($493.78 million) in 2024, reflecting sustained demand across key markets and steady sales volumes despite a challenging operating environment.

Net profit fell 10.98% to EGP2.26 billion ($45.98 million) from EGP2.54 billion ($51.65 million), underscoring cost pressures and broader macroeconomic strains. Consolidated net profit after non-controlling interests edged down 4% to EGP2.19 billion, signaling relative stability at the shareholder level despite headline earnings compression.

Revenue resilience amid profit pressure
Management attributed the revenue growth to strategic resilience and a focus on defending market share in core geographies. The company said it maintained sales levels while expanding its footprint in priority markets, offsetting the impact of inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions.

While the bottom line softened, the modest 4% decline in profit attributable to shareholders reflects disciplined cost management and operational adjustments aimed at protecting margins.

Focused on growth and market share
Oriental Weavers, one of the world’s largest producers of machine-made carpets, operates plants in Egypt, China, and the U.S., exporting to more than 150 countries. Retained earnings increased by 112% to EGP2.48 billion ($50.42 million) from EGP1.17 billion ($23.79 million). Reserves went down by 25.82% to EGP1.53 billion ($31.17 million) from EGP2.07 billion ($42.01 million).

Looking ahead, the group plans to double down on strategic markets, optimize operations, and pursue volume-driven growth to strengthen its competitive positioning.
