ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
ADNOC Distribution announced an upgrade to its growth guidance at ADNOC Group’s inaugural Investor Majlis held on October 8, 2025 in Abu Dhabi, reflecting strong performance across its core business and confidence in its long-term strategy.
The company raised its service station network target to 1,150 by 2028, a 15% increase over its previous guidance of 1,000. It also revised its non-fuel retail outlook, now projecting a 100% rise in non-fuel retail transactions by 2030 compared to 2023 levels, replacing the earlier goal of a 50% increase between 2023 and 2028.
In addition, ADNOC Distribution proposed an extension of its existing dividend policy — subject to final shareholder approval in 2026 — for a further two years through FY 2030. This brings total dividend commitments to $4.9 billion, based on a minimum annual distribution of $700 million or 75% of net profit, whichever is higher. The announcement follows a previously declared $3.5 billion commitment for the period 2024–2028. From the first quarter of 2026, dividend payments will also shift to a quarterly schedule.
The Investor Majlis showcased how the ADNOC ecosystem drives value creation across the Group’s portfolio, with ADNOC Distribution highlighting its strategy to enhance shareholder returns. The event offered investors a platform to engage directly with the company’s leadership and gain deeper visibility into its growth trajectory, operational resilience, and dividend outlook.
