UAE-listed education provider Taaleem delivered record nine-month results for FY2025/26, with operating revenue rising 18.5% year-on-year to AED 1.17 billion, net profit up 9% to AED 283.2 million, and EBITDA growing 16% to AED 439.4 million.
The performance was driven by an 11.5% increase in premium school enrolment to 18,591 students and a 3.5% rise in average tuition fees, with premium school utilisation improving to 78% following the opening of DBS Mira and DBS Islands, bringing the group's premium school count to 14.
Taaleem's government partnerships portfolio covers a further 23 schools serving 23,579 students, while its Kids First Group nursery platform operates 36 locations across the UAE and Qatar. Looking ahead, Harrow International School Dubai is set to open on 31 August with 374 confirmed registrations, and the forthcoming Harrow Abu Dhabi and DBS Ghaf Woods campuses are expected to add approximately 5,400 premium seats over the next two years.
