ADNOC Distribution has secured shareholder approval for all resolutions at its Annual General Meeting (AGM), including a final dividend payout of $350 million (AED 1.28 billion) for the second half of 2025. The dividend, equivalent to 10.285 fils per share, is scheduled for distribution in April 2026.

The company stated that ongoing regional tensions have not had any significant impact on its operations, financial stability, or liquidity. ADNOC Distribution continues to operate its service station network efficiently across its domestic and international markets, supported by robust contingency strategies.

Strong Growth Momentum in 2025

ADNOC Distribution delivered solid financial performance in 2025, reflecting consistent growth across its core business segments:

• EBITDA stood at $1.17 billion, marking an 11.1% year-on-year increase

• Total fuel volumes reached 15.7 billion litres

• Non-fuel retail gross profit grew by 14.4%

This performance was driven by strong contributions from operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Dividend Policy Strengthened

With the latest approval, the company’s total dividend for 2025 reaches $700 million (AED 2.57 billion). Shareholders also endorsed the extension of the dividend policy through 2030.

Under the revised policy, ADNOC Distribution will maintain:

• A minimum annual dividend of $700 million

• Or 75% of net profit, whichever is higher

The company confirmed that shareholders will receive:

• The H2 2025 dividend in April 2026

• The Q1 2026 dividend in June 2026, subject to board approval

Together, these payments are expected to total $525 million (AED 1.9 billion), equivalent to 15.4 fils per share.

Long-Term Shareholder Returns

Since its initial public offering (IPO), ADNOC Distribution has distributed approximately $5.5 billion (AED 20 billion) in dividends, delivering a total shareholder return of 112%.

Strategic Expansion and Innovation

The company continues to advance its long-term growth strategy by expanding its retail and mobility offerings. Initiatives include:

• Launch of “The Hub by ADNOC,” integrating fuel, EV charging, and retail services

• Expansion of convenience retail under the Oasis brand

• Focus on enhancing customer experience through digital and AI-driven solutions

ADNOC Distribution plans to operate 30 “The Hub” locations by 2030, with an expected EBITDA contribution of $30 million.

As part of its sustainability strategy, the company has expanded its E2GO EV charging network to 402 fast and super-fast charging points across key UAE highways. This aligns with national efforts to accelerate electric vehicle adoption.

Looking ahead to 2026, ADNOC Distribution aims to build on its growth momentum by scaling its operations, investing in technology, and maintaining disciplined financial management to deliver sustained value for shareholders.
