RAMALLAH, Palestine, Aug. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Arab Palestinian Investment Company (APIC) announced its consolidated financial results for the first half of 2026, reporting strong operational performance, significant revenue and profitability growth, and a marked improvement compared with the same period last year.
Revenues reached USD 688.2 million representing 15% growth compared with the same period in 2025. EBITDA increased by 55% and amounted to USD 44 million. Profits from operations also rose by 53% and reached USD 31 million. Consolidated net profit reached approximately USD 5.5 million. Net profits attributable to APIC shareholders grew significantly and reached approximately USD 6.6 million, representing a growth of 1866%, earnings per share also rose substantially to USD 0.040 in the first half of 2026, marking 1806% year on year increase.
Total assets stood at USD 1.05 billion, representing a 4.7% increase compared with year-end 2025. Total liabilities reached USD 774.2 million, up 5.5%. Net equity attributable to APIC shareholders amounted to USD 235.3 million, representing a 2.6% increase compared with year-end 2025.
APIC Chairman and CEO Tarek Aggad said: “The results for the first half of 2026 reflect the strength and resilience of APIC’s business model and its subsidiaries, as well as the efficiency of its operations, despite the ongoing economic and financial challenges facing our businesses at both the local and regional levels.”
Aggad highlighted the persistent economic recession resulting from the Israeli occupation’s withholding of Palestinian Authority clearance revenues, which has constrained the Palestinian government’s ability to pay the full salaries of its employees and meet its financial obligations to the private sector. These conditions have, in turn, adversely affected the performance of the group’s companies. He noted that the Palestinian Authority’s direct and indirect outstanding debts to APIC subsidiaries have reached unprecedented levels, amounting to approximately USD 174 million.
Aggad also pointed to continued external headwinds in Turkey related to the application of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 29, under which APIC incurred non-cash losses of approximately USD 5 million during the first half of 2026.
