Aldar Group delivered the strongest financial performance in its history in 2025, posting a 36 per cent surge in net profit to Dh8.8 billion as robust demand for property in the UAE and abroad pushed annual group sales to an unprecedented Dh40.6 billion.
The Abu Dhabi–based real estate giant said revenue rose 47 per cent year‑on‑year to Dh33.8 billion, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) climbed 46 per cent to Dh11.2 billion. The results have been buoyed by both a deep development pipeline and sustained appetite from international buyers, who accounted for Dh27.4 billion — or 77 per cent — of the company’s UAE sales last year.
Announcing the results on Monday, Chairman Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak said Aldar’s trajectory reflected the UAE’s “strong macroeconomic fundamentals” and Abu Dhabi’s growing global prominence as a destination for capital and talent. He highlighted the company’s record Dh167 billion backlog across Aldar‑led and government projects, providing long‑term visibility as the emirate prepares for future population and tourism growth.
Sales momentum accelerated into the final quarter, with Aldar recording Dh12 billion in Q4 group sales — its highest quarterly total — helped by launches including Yas Living, The Row Saadiyat and Yas Riva Residences. Full‑year UAE sales climbed 25 per cent to Dh35.5 billion.
Aldar Development
Aldar Development, the company’s largest business unit, delivered standout performance with revenues climbing 58 per cent to Dh24.8 billion and Ebitda rising 67 per cent to Dh7.2 billion. Its development revenue backlog reached a record Dh71.7 billion by year‑end, driven by strong demand for both new project launches and existing inventory. The project‑management platform, which handles major government housing and infrastructure schemes, reported a separate Dh94.8 billion backlog.
International operations also contributed meaningfully. Egyptian developer SODIC generated Dh1.5 billion in revenue, while UK‑based London Square added Dh1.7 billion, with both units reporting rising sales and expanding backlogs.
Aldar Investment, the group’s diversified income‑generating platform spanning retail, residential, commercial, logistics, hospitality, education and estates, reported a 20 per cent increase in adjusted Ebitda to Dh3.2 billion. Occupancy in its investment‑properties portfolio reached 96 per cent, bolstered by recent acquisitions and strong demand for Grade A office space, retail assets, and logistics facilities.
The company also advanced an extensive develop‑to‑hold pipeline valued at Dh17.2 billion and completed Dh3.3 billion in strategic M&A during the year. Liquidity remained a strength, with Dh14.2 billion in cash and Dh16.4 billion in undrawn facilities at the end of 2025. A recommended dividend of Dh0.205 per share — up 10.8 per cent — is set to distribute Dh1.61 billion to shareholders.
Group CEO Talal Al Dhiyebi said Aldar enters 2026 “poised to sustain growth,” supported by rising recurring income, a deep development pipeline, disciplined capital deployment, and continued demand across asset classes.
