Leading property loan stock company, Turnstar Holdings, led by Botswana real estate mogul Gulaam Abdoola, has demonstrated its ability to thrive and deliver positive results despite a challenging operating environment and intense market competition.
The company’s recently published financial results for the end of its 2023 fiscal year reveal a marginal increase in profit, surging above $8 million.
According to the figures disclosed in its annual report, Turnstar Holdings saw its profit surge from BWP100.94 million ($7.38 million) in 2022 to BWP108.03 million ($8 million) by the end of its 2023 fiscal year.
This upturn can be attributed to the company’s robust topline performance, as rental income grew by 9.2 percent, reaching BWP291.2 million ($21.5 million), compared to BWP266.6 million ($19.7 million) in 2022. Additionally, income from other operations experienced a surge from BWP2.35 million ($173,500) to BWP3.08 million ($227,400).
These financial achievements align with Turnstar’s strategic objective of surpassing BWP3 billion ($220 million) in total assets value. To support this goal and enhance operational efforts, the company has expanded its workforce by recruiting additional staff in key areas.
