ADNOC Distribution posts record-breaking net profit for 2025

ABU DHABI — ADNOC Distribution, the leading fuel and convenience retailer in the United Arab Emirates, announced its strongest annual performance in its history, according to the Emirates News Agency (WAM).  

The financial results for 2025 reflect the hallmarks of the UAE's economic model based on clear vision and long-term planning.

This achievement is inextricably linked to a well-established business approach that views record profits as the natural result of a calculated sustainability path, rather than a fleeting exception.

The announcement confirms that the record figures achieved by ADNOC Distribution are the fruit of disciplined execution of a growth strategy and a deliberate expansion of its service station network. This includes balanced investment in both fuel and non-fuel retail sectors, aligning with the UAE's economic vision to diversify income sources, enhance asset efficiency, and create long-term added value.

Financial Highlights for 2025

During 2025, the company achieved EBITDA of $1.166 billion, representing an annual growth of 11.1%, while net profit increased by 15.4% to reach $761 million, exceeding analysts' expectations.

This strong performance is attributed to rising fuel demand, remarkable growth in non-fuel retail activities, and the increasing contribution of the company’s international operations. These factors demonstrate the resilience of its business model and its ability to adapt to diverse market variables across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Expansion in Retail and Loyalty

The non-fuel retail sector continued its robust performance, with profits rising by 14.4% year-on-year, driven by a 9.3% growth in transactions. Meanwhile, the "ADNOC Rewards" loyalty program saw a significant expansion, reaching 2.61 million members, with more than 350,000 new members joining in a single year.

“2025 was a milestone year for ADNOC Distribution, delivering record financial performance while advancing our transformation into a mobility and convenience retail leader. Strong execution across our core fuel business, non-fuel retail, network expansion and EV infrastructure demonstrates the resilience of our business model and our ability to adapt to evolving customer needs,” said Bader Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of ADNOC Distribution.

Confident Vision and Disciplined Planning

Al Lamki noted that the total shareholder return since the IPO has reached 120%, reflecting success in creating sustainable value. Looking toward 2026, ADNOC Distribution aims to continue its disciplined growth approach.

Key Operational Developments:

ADNOC Distribution added 119 new stations in 2025, bringing the total to 1,010. The company is on track to reach 1,150 stations by 2028.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network also saw an expansion as 182 new charging points were added, totaling 402 points across the UAE—an annual growth of 83%.

2025 saw the relaunch of the "ADNOC Oasis" brand and the introduction of "The Hub by ADNOC," an integrated destination for services, dining, and entertainment.

Dividends and Future Outlook

The Board of Directors recommended a cash dividend of $700 million for 2025 and extended the dividend policy through 2030, signaling deep confidence in the company’s growth prospects and its ability to generate strong, sustainable cash flows.

ADNOC Distribution anticipates maintaining this growth momentum through 2026 by leveraging Artificial Intelligence and digital solutions, proving that these record profits are a direct reflection of an Emirati business methodology that prioritizes sustainability and balanced growth as the permanent hallmarks of success.
