Doha: Ooredoo Group announced yesterday net profit of QR1.1bn in 2020 and the Board proposed a cash dividend of QR0.25 per share. Group s net profit attributable to Ooredoo shareholders decreased by 35 percent year-on-year in 2020 mainly due to lower EBITDA and one off gains in 2019 from the Indonesian tower sales. In fourth quarter (Q4) of 2020, the net profit was negatively impacted by foreign exchange losses mainly due to the devaluation of the Iraqi dinar and a one off impairment from an investment.
