Telecom Egypt has reported a robust financial performance for the first half of 2025, posting a net profit of EGP 10.3 billion, marking a 50% increase compared to the same period last year.
The company also achieved a profit margin of 20%, up from 18% in the first six months of 2024.
The results, announced on Thursday, come as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 43% to EGP 22.1 billion, delivering a 44% profit margin.
The company attributed the growth to operational efficiency and strategic investments in digital infrastructure.
Telecom Egypt has also intensified its partnership with global tech giant Cisco to operate submarine capacities on the 2Africa cable system, one of the world’s largest subsea cable networks connecting Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
The collaboration is expected to strengthen the company’s internet and data services, enabling faster, more reliable connectivity across the region.
“These results reflect Telecom Egypt’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its service capabilities and expanding digital infrastructure in Egypt and beyond,” the company said in a statement.
The 2Africa cable project, launched in collaboration with multiple global partners, is a cornerstone of Telecom Egypt’s international expansion strategy. By leveraging these submarine cable capacities, the company aims to support the growing demand for high-speed connectivity, cloud services, and cross-border data flows.
Financial analysts said the strong performance demonstrates Telecom Egypt’s resilience in a competitive telecommunications market, highlighting the benefits of modernizing infrastructure and strategic partnerships.
With continued investment in technology and infrastructure, Telecom Egypt is positioning itself as a regional leader in telecommunications, while supporting Egypt’s broader digital economy ambitions.
