Yet again, CI Capital’s Investment Bank continued its growth trajectory across all verticals. Our NBFS, which maintained a prudent approach to the quality of its portfolio, recorded solid performance in terms of growing its on-balance financing portfolio, solid financial results, and leading market shares across leasing, factoring, microfinance, and mortgage,” stated CI Capital’s Group CEO Hesham Gohar.

The Group’s leasing arm Corplease, delivered solid profitability while growing its outstanding portfolio by 49% y-o-y to reach EGP 15.6bn by the end of 1Q23. Corplease recorded EGP 946m in revenues, and net profit after tax of EGP 193m, up 143% y-o-y and 76% y-o-y, respectively.

CI Capital Investment Banking advised on multiple high-profile transactions across the ECM, DCM, and M&A space, while CI Capital Securities Brokerage concluded 1Q23 with total revenues growing 135% y-o-y to reach EGP 152m.

“With the backing of our principal shareholder, Banque Misr, CI Capital’s resilient results continue to reflect the Group’s scale, diversified business model, solid balance sheet, and sound liquidity position. CI Capital will continue to invest in its people, digitize its processes, diversify its service offering, and grow its market shares in all its respective fields. As we eye geographic expansion, CI Capital will remain dedicated to further expanding its suite of services within the region and reinforcing its position as Egypt’s leading and most diversified financial services group,” concluded Gohar.
