ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Anghami Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGH) the leading music and entertainment streaming platform in the Middle East and Africa region (MENA), reported today its preliminary results for the third quarter of 2023, the 9-month period ending September 30, 2023, highlighting significant growth, cost reductions and strategic developments.

Enhanced performance within the high-margin segments of the core business

Revenue from direct subscriptions (i.e., app stores and web) grew by 17% Y/Y. While revenue from Telco channels decreased 21% Y/Y, this decline was anticipated as Anghami's strategy is to focus on growth within direct channels that offer improved margins, better collection terms, and protection against currency fluctuations.
