MRNA maintained strong growth momentum in 2022 with annual revenue of SAR 160.8 million

With a robust loan book, MRNA increased its SME client base to 823 as of 31 December 2022,
nearly doubling in size since 2019.
MRNA's lending portfolio continues to demonstrate superior credit quality, with a decrease in non-

Morabaha Marina, said:“We delivered strong financial performance in 2022, with over 20%
revenue growth and a 10% increase in net income. The healthy growth in our loan portfolio reflects
growing demand for our products and services, the quality of our business model and the strength
of our balance sheet – all of which have laid a solid foundation for us to tap new opportunities. By
capitalizing on synergies resulting from our acquisition of Loop last year, we aim to offer a fully
integrated, digitally driven financing platform that will be a highly-compelling value proposition for
consumers and SMEs in the Kingdom. I would like to extend my thanks to the MRNA team for
their hard work and commitment, and to our Board of Directors and shareholders for their
continued guidance, trust and support.”
