Madinet Masr, one of Egypt’s leading urban community developers, announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2026, reporting a resilient performance despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and the normalization of the Egyptian real estate market.
The Company recorded revenues of EGP 2.8 billion and a net profit of EGP 682.5 million, with a gross profit margin of 50.3% and a net profit margin of 24.8%. New sales reached EGP 11.7 billion, while the unrecognized revenue backlog rose to EGP 98.2 billion, reflecting strong underlying fundamentals.
Strong Sales Performance and Market Normalization Impact
During Q1 2026, Madinet Masr achieved new sales of EGP 11.7 billion, compared to EGP 12.6 billion in Q1 2025, marking a 7% year-on-year decline.
The Company attributed this moderation to the broader normalization of demand in the Egyptian real estate market following two exceptionally strong years, in addition to geopolitical pressures affecting the sector.
Exceptional Growth in Unit Deliveries
Madinet Masr delivered 831 residential units during Q1 2026, representing a remarkable 256.7% increase year-on-year.

Revenue Growth Supported by Delivery Acceleration
Total revenue reached EGP 2.8 billion in Q1 2026, up 7.4% year-on-year from EGP 2.6 billion in Q1 2025.

EBITDA and Profitability Performance
The Company recorded EBITDA of EGP 857.2 million, with an EBITDA margin of 31.2%, highlighting operational efficiency despite market headwinds.
Net profit stood at EGP 682.5 million, compared to EGP 794.9 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a 14.1% decline year-on-year, mainly due to a shift in revenue mix toward lower-margin delivery-based income.
Strong Cash Collections and Improved Credit Quality
Net cash collections increased by 33.2% year-on-year to EGP 4.5 billion, demonstrating strong customer payment behavior and effective receivables management.
The delinquency rate improved significantly, declining to 1.0% from 1.6% in the same period last year, underscoring enhanced portfolio quality.
