Alpha Data, home-grown IT services company of the UAE, reported gross revenue of Dh2.49 billion for the financial year ended 2025, marking a 7.1% year-on-year increase, “supported by favourable market dynamics in the regional ICT and AI services landscape”.
Annual results posted on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange showed that gross profit rose 18% year on year to Dh343 million, with gross margin expanding to 13.8%, up from 12.5% in the previous year.
Profit before tax reached Dh158 million in 2025, representing a 13.5% increase compared with the prior year. The pre-tax profit margin improved to 6.4% from 6.0% in 2024, exceeding the company’s full-year guidance.
Alpha Data generated free cash flow of Dh157 million during the year. Its net cash position increased to Dh101 million at the end of 2025 from Dh23 million a year earlier, despite dividend payments of Dh65 million.
On the balance sheet, current assets grew 20% year on year to Dh1.12 billion, outpacing a 14% increase in current liabilities. As a result, the company reported a stronger liquidity position entering 2026, with its current ratio improving to 1.42 from 1.35 in 2024.
Looking ahead, the company said it aims to sustain double-digit revenue growth, continue improving margins and strengthen financial health through cash generation, operational efficiency and financial discipline.
Alpha Data reiterated its commitment to distribute 80% of net profit as dividends, in line with statements made in its IPO prospectus. It was listed on the ADX in March 2025 through an IPO that raised Dh600 million.
