Message from the Chairman
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it gives me great pleasure to present to you MEEZA’s financial results and business performance for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Strong Shareholder Returns
Looking back at our first full year of operation as a
listed company, we are encouraged by your continued
confidence in MEEZA. The leadership team has worked
diligently to deliver healthy results in the Company’s
key business segments while making tangible progress
towards our ambitious Data Centre growth plans. As a
result, we have witnessed an increasingly diverse
shareholder base of local, regional and international
investors.
MEEZA shares closed at a price of QR 3.28 on 31 December
2024, increasing by 14% over the last year, and by 50%
from the IPO price, which is a strong vote of confidence
from our esteemed shareholders.
Surging Demand
MEEZA continues to offer a unique opportunity for
investors to benefit from the growth trajectory of our
industry. Our ICT portfolio is strategically designed to
exploit the surging demand for digital transformation,
cloud computing, and AI across various industries,
including financial services, healthcare, government,
and smart cities.
From state-of-the-art Data Centre services to managed
IT, cloud and cybersecurity services, to IT solutions
and master systems integration, MEEZA has a
comprehensive and integrated suite of services to meet
our customers’ needs.
Given that our Data Centre facilities are now fully
utilized, we have begun our next phase of expansion to
achieve MEEZA’s vision to enhance its Data Centre
offering to support the country’s ambitions
under Qatar National Vision 2030 and the recently launched Digital Agenda 2030. This expansion plan will be funded through a combination of Sharia compliant financing and the deployment of cash reserves.
Increasing Profitability Margins
Looking at the financial performance, MEEZA’s Net Profit
reached QR 60.4 million in FY2024, representing a 0.4%
(or QR 0.2 million) increase over the same period last
year, with Earnings Per Share (EPS) of QR 0.09. Net
Profit Margin for the period improved by 1.9 percentage
points to 16.1% mainly driven by a revenue increase in
the higher-margin segments.
The Company achieved total revenue of QR 374.2 million,
declining 11.5% (or QR 48.7 million) year- on-year due
to a decrease in low-margin Solutions services.
Excluding Solutions services, revenue increased by QR
21.1 million or 7.3%, led by growth in the Data Centre
(8.1%) and Managed Services (11.8%) revenues.
Growth in high-margin revenue segments led to a 3.1%
increase in the Company’s gross profit versus last year,
reaching QR 118.3 million. EBITDA margin improved by 3.7
percentage points year-on-year to reach 32.9%, resulting
in EBITDA for the period of QR 123.2 million.
MEEZA maintained a healthy financial position with a
cash balance of QR 278.8 million, in addition to QR 1.6
billion in future committed contract value.
Based on these results, the Board of Directors of MEEZA
has proposed a cash dividend of QR 51.9 million (i.e. QR
0.08 per share) subject to the approval of the Annual
General Assembly.

Message from
the CEO
On behalf of our leadership team and dedicated employees, I am pleased to present to you MEEZA’s operational and financial performance for the year 2024.
A New Chapter: Leading MEEZA into the Future
Having joined MEEZA in May 2024, it is an honor to
address our shareholders, partners, and employees as
CEO. I am privileged to lead a company that has already
established itself as the premier IT services and Data
Centre provider in Qatar. As we build upon this strong
foundation, my commitment is to drive MEEZA forward into
its current phase of growth, innovation, and operational
excellence.
A Year of Expansion and Transformation
2024 was a critical year for MEEZA, as we successfully
executed our growth strategy across multiple fronts. We
achieved nearly full utilization of our existing Data
Centre capacity after signing a landmark 1-Megawatt Data
Centre contract and secured the award and financing for
an additional 4-Megawatt capacity under a long-term
contract. This milestone reinforces MEEZA’s position as
the leading Data Centre provider in Qatar, setting the
foundation for our next phase of expansion with
additional state- of-the-art Data Centre facilities
currently in different phases of design.
Beyond infrastructure growth, we launched MEEZA. AI, our
flagship artificial intelligence platform, accelerating
the adoption of AI-driven business solutions in Qatar
and the region. This strategic move places MEEZA at the
forefront of AI and cloud computing services, ensuring
that our clients — from government entities to large
enterprises — have access to cutting-edge digital
transformation capabilities.
Financial Performance: Strengthening Profitability
and Growth
MEEZA delivered solid financial results in 2024,
reflecting the strength of our business model and our
focus on high-margin service segments. The Company
reported a net profit of QR 60.4 million, with an EPS of
QR 0.09.
Despite a reduction in total revenue due
to lower contributions from Solutions services, we saw a
7.3% growth in revenue from our core offerings, driven
by an 8.1% increase in Data Centre services and an 11.8%
rise in Managed Services. Our profitability was further
supported by an improved net profit margin of 16.1%,
reflecting disciplined cost management and an optimized
revenue mix.
With a strong cash position of
QR 278.8 million and future contract commitments
exceeding QR 1.6 billion, MEEZA remains well-capitalized
to fund its expansion and drive long-term value for
stakeholders.
Market Leadership and Strong Client Demand
Throughout the year, we continued to strengthen our
market positioning, expanding not only our Data Centre
segment but also our Managed Services revenue streams.
Our participation in key global events, including the
Web Summit and World AI Summit, reinforced our role as a
technology leader and strategic data partner in the
region. Additionally, we renewed our Cisco Gold and
Google Premier partnerships, among others, ensuring that
our ecosystem remains at the highest level of industry
standards.
Operationally, we enhanced our cybersecurity and managed services portfolio, securing new Security Operations Center (SOC) customers and driving strong year-on-year growth in these high-margin segments. Our ability to provide comprehensive, SLA-bound IT services continues to attract tier-1 clients, reinforcing MEEZA’s position as a preferred IT outsourcing and infrastructure partner.
Commitment to Excellence: Certifications and
Standards
In 2024, we further solidified our reputation for too
scrunched together certifications, including ISO 27701
(Privacy Management) and ISO 27017 (Cloud Security). We
also renewed the existing international ISO certificates
such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 27001
(Information Security Management), ISO 20000-1 (IT
Service Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental
Management), PCI-DSS compliance and SOC 2 Type 2 for our
Data Centres, positioning MEEZA as a trusted partner in
secure and compliant digital solutions.
Investing in People and Sustainability
At MEEZA, our human capital is at the core of our
success. The MEEZA Academy delivered nine training
sessions in 2024, equipping high-performing trainees
with the skills needed to thrive in the ICT industry.
Our partnerships with leading global technology
firms—including VMware, Cisco, Oracle, and
Huawei—enabled us to offer world-class training,
internships, and full-time employment opportunities to
promising talent.
We also strengthened our corporate social initiatives
through collaborations with the Ministry of Labour and
Qatar Career Development Center, providing job shadowing
opportunities and career development programs.
Furthermore, we maintained our ISO 45001 certification
for health and safety, reflecting our commitment to a
safe and productive work environment.
Looking Ahead
With Data Centre demand in Qatar exceeding supply, MEEZA
is committed to aggressively scaling its infrastructure
to meet the growing needs of enterprises, government
agencies, and hyperscalers. Our upcoming Data Centre
expansions will significantly enhance our capacity,
efficiency, and AI- readiness, allowing us to support
high-performance computing, machine learning, and
sovereign cloud solutions.
As we look to 2025 and beyond, MEEZA remains dedicated
to innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable
growth. Our success is a testament to the unwavering
commitment of our employees, the trust of our valued
clients, and the confidence of our esteemed
shareholders.
On behalf of the entire team, I extend my sincere
gratitude to our Board of Directors for their guidance,
our clients and partners for their continued
collaboration, and our shareholders for their ongoing
support as we continue shaping the future of Qatar’s
digital landscape.
