BH Leasing, a leading Tunisian leasing company, has released its interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026. The company's net profit for the first half of 2026 stood at 1.14 million dinars, representing a 62% increase from 706,000 dinars recorded during the same period in 2025. This growth is reflected in the company's earnings per share, which rose from 0.101 dinar to 0.163 dinar over the past year.

The company's total assets reached 346.5 million dinars as of June 30, 2026, up from 308.2 million dinars at the same time in 2025 and 335.4 million dinars at the end of 2025.

BH Leasing's leasing revenue net of costs grew by 22.8% to 10.2 million dinars, up from 8.3 million dinars in the first half of 2025. This increase is primarily attributed to higher interest income and similar products, which rose from 20.1 million dinars to 22.8 million dinars, as well as increased investment income. However, the company also experienced higher net financial charges, which rose to 12.8 million dinars from 11.8 million dinars a year earlier.
