ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Shareholders of ADNOC Distribution have approved a final cash dividend of $350 million (Dh1.28 billion) for the second half of 2025, bringing the company’s total annual payout for the year to $700 million (Dh2.57 billion), according to a press release.
The final dividend, equivalent to 10.285 fils per share, will be paid in April 2026 following approval at the company’s Annual General Assembly Meeting. The full-year dividend represents a yield of 5.4%, the company said.
Shareholders also approved the extension of ADNOC Distribution’s dividend policy through 2030, under which the company will distribute an annual dividend of $700 million or 75% of net profit, whichever is higher, providing continued visibility for investors.
The company said recent regional developments have not had a material impact on its operations, financial position or liquidity, adding that it continues to operate its network safely with established business continuity and contingency plans in place.
Chairman of ADNOC Distribution, Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, said, “ADNOC Distribution continues to deliver consistent performance underpinned by disciplined execution and a resilient business model. In 2025, the Company delivered solid financial results while progressing its transformation into an integrated mobility and convenience platform.
“The approval of a total dividend of $700 million for 2025, alongside the extension of the Company’s dividend policy through 2030, reflects our commitment to providing shareholders with predictable and long-term returns. As we look ahead, ADNOC Distribution remains focused on disciplined growth, prudent capital allocation and long-term value creation for shareholders.”
The company said it will transition to quarterly dividend payments from 2026, with the first quarterly dividend for the first quarter of 2026 expected to follow the second-half 2025 payment, subject to board approval.
ADNOC Distribution reported EBITDA of $1.17 billion in 2025, up 11.1% year-on-year, with fuel volumes reaching 15.7 billion litres. Non-fuel retail gross profit rose 14.4%, supported by performance across its network in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
CEO of ADNOC Distribution, Eng. Bader Saeed Al Lamki, said, “In 2025, the disciplined execution of our five-year strategy supported our record performance and growth across all business segments. Through network scale and new retail concepts, disciplined cost efficiencies and customer experiences elevated with AI, we strengthened the breadth and resilience of our revenue streams and continued to deliver ahead of our operational targets. Accordingly, we have upgraded our guidance across network and non-fuel retail growth to reflect this momentum. We remain focused on disciplined growth and delivering value for shareholders.”
Since its IPO, ADNOC Distribution has distributed $5.5 billion (Dh20 billion) in dividends and delivered total shareholder returns of 112%, the company said.
