TMG plans expansion in North Coast, Gulf and North Africa

Talaat Moustafa Group Holding (TMG Holding) achieved unprecedented first-quarter 2025 business results across all sectors. The Group sustained its strong growth, achieved new performance milestones, and strategically positioned itself for ambitious regional expansion. This move aims to secure new foreign currency revenues, leverage stable growth in adjacent markets, and tap into new regional real estate opportunities. The executive management's efforts delivered on all targeted expectations and strategies announced since 2017, according to the company's Egyptian Exchange filing.

Since 2017, TMG has achieved remarkable sales growth, marked by an unprecedented 70% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in value. This strong trajectory reached its peak in 2024 with record sales exceeding EGP 504 billion, equivalent to around $10 billion US dollars.


The Group reported a 25% sales growth in the first quarter of 2025, reaching 77 billion Egyptian pounds, compared to 62 billion Egyptian pounds in the same period of 2024. Notably, this growth occurred despite the absence of new real estate project launches this year. Looking ahead, TMG Holding aims to maintain its total sales for fiscal year 2025 at a level comparable to its record-breaking 2024 performance, driven by the anticipated launch of new projects, including the Sharm El Sheikh Bay multi-use development in Sharm El Sheikh city, by year-end.

TMG had launched the second phase of its mega project in SouthMED in early May 2025. This followed its initial offering in 2024, which saw even greater demand, with over 70 billion Egyptian pounds booked on the first day. Consequently, total sales since the beginning of the year have reached over 160 billion Egyptian pounds, representing a 125% growth rate.


Regarding the target for expansion in the Group's hotel sector and other recurring income sources, TMG successfully acquired seven prominent historical hotels in Egypt, adding over 2,500 hotel rooms to its portfolio. This acquisition bolsters a stable flow of foreign currency. Recurring income activities continued to grow in Q1 2025, with hotel revenues increasing by 50% to reach EGP 3.5 billion (up from EGP 2.3 billion in Q1 2024). Consequently, the total income from hotel activities and recurring activities reached 5.6 billion Egyptian pounds during the current quarter, achieving a strong growth rate of 70%. Notably, these revenues now represent nearly 60% of total consolidated revenues, compared to approximately 49% in the same period last year.

The Group's asset monetization strategy has successfully strengthened its liquidity and financial stability, enabling reinvestment in high-growth opportunities. This is reflected in a cash balance of EGP 58 billion as of March 31, 2025. Furthermore, total foreign currency resources reached USD 605 million at the end of Q1 2025, representing nearly one-third of the Group's current market capitalization and providing a significant hedge against currency risks.


In the first quarter of 2025, TMG continued its robust regional expansion strategy for its land portfolio. This included announcing advanced negotiations for a significant 14 million square meter multi-use project in Iraq. This development follows TMG's successful 2024 expansion, marked by its entry into the Saudi market with the 10 million square meter Banan project and the 23 million square meter SouthMED project on the North Coast. The Group is also exploring further expansion opportunities within the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC) and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions to boost profitability and generate hard currency cash flows.

Following the significant success of the SouthMED project and the opening of new destinations like the recently inaugurated massive Ras El Hekma project, the Group is also preparing for new growth opportunities on the North Coast.

To maintain and protect the high value of its capital by diversifying foreign currency income sources, the Group has successfully developed unique real estate assets, notably its hospitality sector investments and its expansion in Saudi Arabia through the Banan project. This strategy has generated significant foreign currency income, with the hospitality sector alone contributing $69 million in the first quarter of 2025, approximately 37% of the Group's total revenues. Additionally, the Banan project in Saudi Arabia has secured over 6.2 billion Saudi Riyals in reserved sales, which will be recognized as revenue over the next four years.


This strategic approach secures TMG from foreign currency risks in Egypt. This bolsters the Group's business model, known for its flexibility, low risk profile, and resilience to market challenges, ultimately aiming for strong investor returns.

Moreover, TMG's real estate developments leverage modern and innovative technologies, increasingly incorporating artificial intelligence in commercial and operational processes. This leads to significant energy and water savings and enhances labor efficiency.

Distinguished partnerships and unique acquisitions successfully executed in 2024 and beyond have rightfully positioned the group as a leading exporter of an effective business model in the real estate and tourism sectors. This transformation has generated significant foreign currency income, effectively hedging the Group's projects against exchange rate volatility.

Notably, these assets not only preserve but also appreciate in value, offering a natural cash flow during economic volatility. This performance highlights the Group's strength and resilience, positioning it for robust growth in both Egyptian and global markets, ultimately boosting shareholder returns.

Consistently surpassing its strategic objectives and initial expectations, TMG has secured sustainable financial growth and stability for the future. This success stems from its flexible and low-risk business model, specifically designed to deliver strong investor returns.
