Accelerating to double-digit Q1 2025 EBITDA and net profit growth year-on-year

In Q1 2025, ADNOC Distribution demonstrated strong year-on-year growth in EBITDA of 10.8% to AED 1,011 million, while net profit was up 16.2% year-on-year to AED 639 million. This financial performance was supported by continued growth in the UAE retail fuel volumes (on a daily basis, they increased by 5.3% year-on-year), expansion of the retail fuel network (+3% year-on-year, excluding 45 newly contracted DOCO stations in KSA) and higher number of non-fuel transactions (on a daily basis, they increased by 9.8% year-on-year).

Together with the robust balance sheet (net debt/EBITDA of 0.70x as of 31 March 2025) this provides support to future growth prospects in line with the 2025-28 strategy that was communicated to capital markets during the Investor Day in February 2024.

Fuel business: retail and commercial

ADNOC Distribution's UAE and KSA retail and corporate fuel volumes increased in Q1 2025 by 1.5% year-on-year to 2.94 billion liters (on a daily basis, they were 2.6% higher). New stations in Dubai and network renovation in Saudi Arabia resulted in incremental retail fuel volumes. This, together with economic growth momentum and higher mobility, led to a 4.2% increase in retail fuel volumes in the UAE and KSA compared to Q1 2024 to 1.95 billion liters (on a daily basis, they increased by 5.3% year-on-year).

Including the operations in Egypt, ADNOC Distribution recorded a 1.0% year-on-year increase in the total fuel volumes to 3.73 billion liters, including 2.6% higher retail and 2.3% lower commercial fuel volumes. On a daily basis, the total volumes increased by 2.2% year-on-year, including retail volumes growth of 3.7% and commercial volumes reduction of 1.2% year-on-year.

Network expansion: In Q1 2025, ADNOC Distribution further expanded its retail fuel activities by adding five new stations in the UAE. In addition, the Company contracted 15 more stations in KSA under CAPEX-light Dealer Owned-Company Operated (DOCO) model - they will soon start to operate under ADNOC Distribution brand further increasing the Company's presence in a large and dynamic Saudi market. ADNOC Distribution is on track to add 40-50 stations to its total network in 2025.

  • Domestically: with five new stations added in the UAE in Q1 2025 (one existing station in Northern Emirates was returned to a landowner during the period), ADNOC Distribution reached 555 stations in its home market, which compares to 532 stations at the end of Q1 2024.

    In Dubai, the Company opened one new station in Q1 2025. As a result, ADNOC Distribution's service station network in the emirate expanded to 57 stations at the end of the period, up by 26.7% from 45 stations at the end of Q1 2024.

  • Internationally:

    ADNOC Distribution continued to execute on its plans in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Including DOCO contracted stations, the Company's network in KSA reached 115 stations, a 67% increase compared to Q1 2024.

Commercial business: In Q1 2025, commercial segment fuel volumes in GCC decreased by 3.3% compared to Q1 2024 to 997 million liters due to lower spot market trading activity compared to Q1 2024.

Commercial segment fuel volumes in Egypt increased by 6.2% compared to Q1 2024 to 134 million liters. This was driven by a 22.9% year-on-year increase in aviation volumes to 61 million liters driven by the continued tourism growth.

The total number of export network countries in ADNOC Distribution's VOYAGER lubricants portfolio rose to 47 markets at the end of Q1 2025 compared to 40 markets at the end of the same period last year. The Company is exploring opportunities to penetrate new growing lubricant markets through collaboration with leading partners worldwide.

In 2023, the Company launched ADNOC Voyager brand signature range of premium and OEM-approved automotive vehicle lubricants in Egypt through TotalEnergies Marketing Egypt. The products are available for the Egyptian consumers to purchase at ADNOC-branded service stations. Additionally, ADNOC Distribution signed a lubricant franchisee agreement with TotalEnergies Marketing Egypt and in 2024 started production of low and mid-tier lubricants in Egypt for local sale and export.

Non-fuel business - UAE

During Q1 2025, ADNOC Distribution in line with the non-fuel retail strategy implemented a series of marketing campaigns and customer-centric initiatives. The Company continued to enhance customer experience through various initiatives, such as offering a modern shopping environment, improvement in category management, a better assortment of products, including introduction of fresh food and premium coffee products, and digital channels to order and transact.

As a core part of its growth strategy, ADNOC Distribution is leveraging advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, to enhance customer experiences. AI-driven initiatives such as "Fill and Go", which uses computer vision-enabled license plate recognition for a seamless refuelling process, are differentiating ADNOC Distribution's offering while positioning the Company as a leader in innovation within the industry.

In Q1 2025, the Company continued to develop its non-fuel offerings launching in the UAE six new convenience stores (one was closed during the period). During the period, ADNOC Distribution benefited from the launch in 2024 of five car wash tunnels, which have significantly greater capacity than conventional facilities. In addition, last year the Company upgraded c.50% of existing automatic car wash facilities, with a focus on Tier-1 best performing car washes. Both initiatives provided strong support to the car wash business which posted among the highest growth rates in gross profit among all non-fuel retail verticals in Q1 2025.

ADNOC Distribution increased the number of its vehicle inspection centres in the UAE to 36 following an addition of two new centres between end of Q1 2024 and end of Q1 2025. The number of vehicles inspected (fresh tests) in the Company's vehicle inspection centres increased by 3.5% in Q1 2025 year-on-year, driven by an increase of the number of vehicle inspection centres, introduction of new services and supported by marketing and promotions.

In its property management business, at the end of March 2025 ADNOC Distribution had 1,165 occupied and awarded properties for rent, which implies an increase of 10.7% or 113 units compared to the end of March 2024.

These anchor brands bring additional footfall to ADNOC Distribution service stations and transform them into destinations of choice. Furthermore, at the end of Q1 2025 ADNOC Distribution operated 13 Burger King restaurants under a franchise model, improving the yield on its property by 2.5x vs. conventional rental model.

Early adoption of amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

ADNOC Distribution adopted amendments to IAS 21 in relation to operations of its subsidiary based in Egypt. The EGP was considered to lack of exchangeability from the beginning of the period until 5 March 2024, and the subsidiary has been unable to convert its functional currency from Egyptian banks to settle its foreign currency obligations. The lack of exchangeability of the EGP was restored effective 6 March 2024. In accordance with the requirements of the amendment, the subsidiary revalued its net foreign monetary liabilities as at 31 December 2023 at the rate available on 6 March 2024 which is the most recent date reflecting the ending of the lack of exchangeability in Egypt, as a basis for implementation. Accordingly, in Q3 2024 ADNOC Distribution recorded an adjustment of AED 68 million to the opening balance of its retained earnings and non-controlling interests in respective proportions of ownership.

Supportive macroeconomic environment

ADNOC Distribution's growth ambitions are underpinned by a solid macroeconomic backdrop:

  • Our main market Abu Dhabi GDP grew by 3.8% in 2024 year-on-year. This was driven by a 6.2% expansion in the non-oil sector, supported by private consumption that was boosted by population and tourism growth. In 2024, the non-oil sector accounted for 54.7% of the total Abu Dhabi GDP. Key sectors that contributed to this growth are as follows: transportation and storage +16.9%, manufacturing +9.5%, construction +11.3%, finance and insurance +10.7%, and information and communication +6.6%.

  • The UAE Central Bank estimates the country's GDP growth for 2024 at 3.9%, including 4.6% non-oil GDP growth. Thereafter, it forecasts economic expansion of 4.7% in 2025 and 5.7% in 2026, supported by non-oil GDP growth of c.5% in both years.

  • IMF projects GCC's GDP growth for 2025 at 3% (down from October 2024 forecast of a 4.2% increase).

  • According to IMF, a near-term outlook is positive for the UAE but subject to elevated global risks and uncertainty. The agency estimates that the country's real GDP increased by 3.8% in 2024 and will grow by 4.0% in 2025 (down from October 2024 forecast of a 5.1% increase), which is the highest rate among the GCC economies. According to IMF, GDP growth will accelerate to 5.0% in 2026 (down from October 2024 forecast of a 5.1% increase) and average 4.5% over 2026-30.

  • In 2024, number of hotel guests in the UAE was 30.8 million, which implies an increase of 9.5% compared to 2023. Dubai saw 18.7 million international visitors, an increase of 9.2% year-on-year. Last year, Dubai International Airport saw passenger traffic growing by 6.1% year-on-year to a new record of 92.3 million, surpassing the previous record of 89.1 million set in 2018.

  • Beyond the strong macroeconomic indicators, the UAE business activity expansion has translated into higher traffic and improved consumer confidence across the country resulting in higher fuel volumes and number of non-fuel transactions for ADNOC Distribution in Q1 2025. Leveraging on its leadership position in the UAE, customer focus and best-in-class mobility and lifestyle experience, the Company has grown its daily retail fuel volumes in the GCC markets by 5.3% year-on-year, at a faster rate than the GDP growth.

In January 2023, the Company unveiled its decarbonization roadmap, committing to a reduction of carbon intensity of its operations by 25% by 2030 (compared to 2021 baseline). The decarbonization roadmap covers Scope 1 emissions which come directly from the Company's operations, and Scope 2 carbon emissions which come from the energy ADNOC Distribution uses to run its operations.

The Company aims to cut emissions through a set of identified initiatives that will be implemented in 2024 and beyond, such as installing solar panels at service stations, use of biofuels to power its fleet of vehicles and other energy optimization initiatives.
