ITHMAAR Bank, a Bahrain-based Islamic retail bank, reported profits for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
The announcement, by Ithmaar Bank chairman Prince Amr Al Faisal, follows the review and approval of the board of directors of the bank’s consolidated financial results.
The results show a net profit attributable to equity holders of the bank for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 of BD1.15 million compared to the net profit attributable to equity holders of BD1.145m reported for the same period in 2024.
Total profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 was BD3.75m, compared to a net profit of BD3.64m for the same period in 2024.
