INOVEST announced its financial results for the first three months of 2026, showing a consolidated net profit attributable to the parent shareholders of US$ 331 thousand in comparison to a net loss attributable to the parent shareholders of US$ 1.263 million for the same quarter of last year. Accordingly, the Basic Earnings Per Share for the first quarter of 2026 increased to US Cents 0.11 as compared to a Loss Per Share of US cents 0.42 for the same period in 2025. The change is primarily due to the Group's focus on core & investment activities, exit from non-strategic sectors, as well as tight control over expenditure. The net operating profit stood at US$ 473 thousand in the first quarter of this year in comparison to a loss of US$ 1.530 million for the first quarter of 2025. The consolidated operating income increased by 206% to reach US$ 1.992 million in comparison to US$ 652 thousand. Whilst the Group’s operating expenses decreased by 30%, standing at US 1.519 million in the first quarter of 2026 in comparison to US 2.182 million for the same period of 2025.
