db Group, one of Malta’s leading players in hospitality, has registered notable increases across all major financial metrics, while strengthening its long-term asset base to €591 million for the financial year ending March 2025.

As it continues to expand internationally, the Group is seeking to raise €60 million through issuing bonds over the next 12 months to keep on strengthening its cash for its pipeline of investments.

db Group will seek to raise €33 million from October 7th and another €27 million in 2026, through separate bond issues which will be first offered to around 1,700 existing bondholders and institutional investors.

The bonds will carry a coupon of 5.2% and will mature in 2031.

As confirmed in recently published audited accounts for the year ending March 2025, the Group’s Net Asset Value rose by almost 15% from the previous year, from €211 million to €241 million.

Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA increased by 15% to €35.8 million, and Net profit from operations surged by 30% to €18.6 million. These results underscore the Group’s financial strength and its ability to deliver sustained performance while investing in the future.

Following last year’s record turnover, this year’s results reinforce db Group’s position as one of Malta’s most dynamic enterprises. The Group has continued to consolidate its core operations while pushing forward with international ambitions and high-profile partnerships.

As anticipated, db Group opened its Japanese restaurant Aki in London in September, with the pre-launch attracting excellent reviews. This marks a bold step forward in the Group’s expansion beyond the Mediterranean, guided by its London-based investment arm, SDH Capital.

Meanwhile, db Group recently announced that HR Hotel FZ LLC, its joint venture with RAK Hospitality Holding (RAKHH), is bringing Hard Rock Hotel & Residences Ras Al Khaimah to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This branded mixed-use development project – slated to open in 2028 – will be built in a prime location on the Arabian Gulf in Ras Al Khaimah’s Marjan Beach, adjacent to Al Marjan Island. It will include approximately 300 rooms and 400 branded residences.

Locally, work on db Group’s flagship project at St. George’s Bay is on schedule. The project includes the five-star Hard Rock Hotel Malta, St George’s Mall and the ORA Residences – a mixed-use development set to redefine Malta’s luxury landscape.

Group CEO Robert Debono said: “Our performance this year confirms the strength of our business model. Even as we expand internationally, we remain firmly committed to disciplined financial management and long-term value creation. These results give us the confidence to pursue bold projects abroad while continuing to deliver consistent returns in Malta. Our focus remains clear: sustainable growth, world-class partnerships, and lasting value for those who invest with us.”

The Base Prospectus and Final Terms will be available on the Company’s website: www.dbgroupmalta.com/investors as from today, and copies thereof can be obtained during office hours from Authorised Financial Intermediaries listed in Annex II of the Final Terms as from 10th October 2025.
