In 2025, ADNOC Distribution recorded double-digit growth in EBITDA of 11.1% year-on-year to a new record of AED 4,282 million. Net profit attributable to equity holders increased by 15.4% to AED 2,794 million, also a record high, supported by the strong underlying profitability, positive impact of inventory movements as well as lower finance costs and despite the higher prudent based provisions.
In the retail segment, this robust 2025 financial performance was supported by the continued strong growth in the GCC retail fuel volumes (in 2025, they increased by 8.4% year-on-year, including by 7.7% year-on-year in Q4 2025), expansion of the retail fuel network (1,010 stations at the end of December 2025 compared to 896 stations in the same period of 2024) and higher number of fuel transactions (in 2025, they increased by 5.6% year-on-year, including by 7.3% year-on-year in Q4 2025).
Non-fuel retail gross profit continued to grow faster than fuel retail gross profit on the back of higher number of non-fuel transactions (in 2025, they increased by 9.3% year-on-year, including by 6.8% year-on-year in Q4 2025) as well as the highest convenience store conversion rate in 6 years (up by 50 bps year-on-year to 26.6% in 2025, including 27.7% in Q4 2025).
In the commercial segment, the strong profitability was driven by the higher corporate business margins on the back of successful implementation of dynamic pricing and proactive margin management, and higher aviation business volumes (in 2025, they increased by 15.8% year-on-year, including by 17.3% year-on-year in Q4 2025).
Backed by a robust balance sheet (net debt/EBITDA of 0.70x as of 31 December 2025), this strong growth in earnings and cashflows provides support to future growth prospects in line with the 2024-28 strategy that was communicated during the Investor Day in February 2024 and ADNOC Investor Majlis in October 2025.
Fuel: retail and commercial
ADNOC Distribution's UAE and KSA fuel volumes (retail and commercial) increased in 2025 by 4.9% year-on-year to a new record of 12.46 billion liters.
Network expansion, economic growth momentum and higher mobility led to an 8.4% increase in retail fuel volumes in the UAE and KSA compared to 2024 to a new record of 8.35 billion liters.
Including the operations in Egypt, ADNOC Distribution recorded a 4.5% year-on-year increase in total fuel volumes to 15.71 billion liters, including 6.7% higher retail and flat commercial fuel volumes year-on-year.
Retail fuel
Network expansion: In 2025, ADNOC Distribution further expanded its retail fuel activities by adding 17 new stations in the UAE and 3 in Egypt (in Q4 2025: 5 new stations in the UAE and 2 in Egypt). In addition, during the period the Company contracted 99 stations in KSA under a CAPEX-light Dealer Owned-Company Operated (DOCO) model (in Q4 2025: 27 stations). These stations will operate under ADNOC Distribution brand further increasing the Company's presence in a large and dynamic Saudi market.
Domestically: ADNOC Distribution added 17 new stations in the UAE in 2025 (one existing station in Northern Emirates was returned to a landowner during the period). Four of these launched in Abu Dhabi cater specifically to trucks. The Company reached 567 stations in its home market, an increase of 3% from 551 stations at the end of 2024.
In Dubai, ADNOC Distribution opened one new station in 2025, and the service station network in the emirate expanded to 57 stations at the end of the period.
Internationally:
ADNOC Distribution continued to execute on its plans in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With 99 new DOCO stations contracted in 2025, ADNOC Distribution network reached 199 stations in KSA, doubling compared to the end of 2024. At the end of December 2025, 31 DOCO stations were operational under ADNOC Distribution brand following the upgrades.
At the end of 2025, after adding 3 stations and closing 4 stations, the Company operated 244 service stations in Egypt. In addition, the Egypt portfolio comprised aviation fuel, lubricant and wholesale fuel operations as well as c.140 convenience stores, c.230 lube changing sites and c.130 car wash locations.
Total ADNOC Distribution network increased to 1,010 stations vs. 896 at the end of 2024, an increase of 12.7% year-on-year.
Network of fast and super-fast EV charging points increased by 182 new charging points to 402, up by
1.8x compared to 220 charging points at the end of 2024.
Commercial fuel
In 2025, ADNOC Distribution continued to operate in a competitive UAE market. The Company delivered a stronger and more resilient performance through a strategic shift toward value-driven operations. While total volumes moderated due to the targeted rationalization of low-margin and tail-end customers, the business strengthened its commercial portfolio by prioritizing high-quality, credit-disciplined, and strategically aligned customers. This approach allowed the Company to maintain market relevance while improving pricing discipline, product mix, and margin capture across the core segments.
ADNOC Distribution also advanced its channel optimization program, reducing exposure to low-value routes and shifting volumes toward sectors with higher reliability and contribution potential. This was supported by enhanced pricing governance, improved contract renewal processes, and closer customer engagement.
In 2025, commercial segment fuel volumes in GCC decreased by 1.4% compared to 2024 to 4.10 billion liters due to the targeted rationalization of low-margin and tail-end customers, partially offset by the new corporate contracts signed in the UAE in 2024 and 2025, and higher aviation volumes.
Commercial segment fuel volumes in Egypt increased by 9.4% compared to 2024 to 564 million liters. This growth was driven by the strong performance of the aviation business - which is fully US dollar-denominated and represents over 60% of Egypt EBITDA - recording a 21.2% year-on-year increase in aviation volumes to 268 million liters, supported by the continued tourism growth.
The total number of export network countries in ADNOC Distribution's VOYAGER lubricants portfolio rose to 52 markets at the end of 2025 compared to 46 markets at the end of 2024. The Company is exploring opportunities to penetrate new growing lubricant markets through collaboration with leading partners worldwide.
In May 2025, ADNOC Distribution launched the Voyager lubricant line nationally across Egypt, broadening its availability to third-party retail stores for the first time and announcing a target of 3,000 points of sale by the end of 2026. Egypt remains a core focus market for the Company through its 50% equity stake in TotalEnergies Marketing Egypt (TEME).
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 retail
ADNOC Distribution continued to advance its non-fuel retail strategy in 2025, enhancing customer experience, growing ADNOC Rewards programme and expanding high-margin offerings. Key initiatives included modernized store environments, targeted marketing campaigns, AI-driven convenience stores clustering, improved category management, and the introduction of new fresh food and premium coffee products. The Company also expanded its digital ordering and payment channels to drive convenience and engagement.
In September 2025, the refreshed Oasis by ADNOC brand was introduced, repositioning the convenience retail offer around a "on the gourmet" proposition with upgraded food, beverage and barista-crafted coffee offerings, reinforcing a consistent, higher-quality customer experience across the network.
As part of its innovation agenda, ADNOC Distribution is leveraging advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence to elevate customer service. AI-powered solutions like "Fill and Go," which uses computer vision for license plate recognition in key locations, are streamlining the refuelling experience and reinforcing the Company's leadership in digital transformation.
During the period, ADNOC Distribution launched 13 new convenience stores in the UAE (two were closed during the period) and benefited from the 2024-25 rollout of seven high-capacity car wash tunnels. Additionally, c.50% of existing automatic car wash facilities were upgraded, with a focus on Tier-1 locations. The Company expanded its vehicle inspection network to 37 centres, adding two new locations in 2025. Fresh vehicle inspections rose by 7.0% year-on-year, supported by network growth, new services, and promotional efforts.
In property management, ADNOC Distribution had 1,148 occupied and awarded rental units as of end of 2025, unchanged compared to the end of 2024. The number of high-yielding Food & Beverage properties increased while the number of lower-yielding ATM and vending machine property units decreased.
In 2025, the Company launched six new flagship retail destinations under The Hub by ADNOC brand - the first of 30 sites to be opened by 2030, with three times larger retail footprint, more services, and a reimagined customer experience that set a new benchmark in the UAE. The Hub by ADNOC concept introduced a large-format, destination-led retail concept that integrates fuel, EV charging and car care with complementary lifestyle offerings to support non-fuel revenue growth. ADNOC Distribution plans to launch five new hubs in 2026.
In 2025, 40 new properties (vs. 23 in 2024) were launched under leading international and local brands, including McDonald's, KFC, Domino's Pizza, Dunkin' Donuts, Costa Coffee and others. These anchor brands bring additional footfall to ADNOC Distribution service stations and transform them into destinations of choice.
In addition, after opening nine Burger King outlets during the year under a franchise model, at the end of 2025 the Company operated 20 restaurants, achieving a 2.5x yield improvement vs. a conventional rental model.
ADNOC Rewards loyalty program and customer focus
ADNOC Distribution continues to place customers at the centre of its strategy, supporting the mobility and redefining the service station experience. This approach reinforces the Company's positioning as a destination of choice across its network.
The ADNOC Rewards loyalty program added nearly 90,000 new loyal members in Q4 2025 and nearly 360,000 since the end of 2024, bringing the total enrolment to 2.61 million, a 15.8% increase year-on-year. With c. 130 partners offering exclusive deals through the ADNOC Distribution app, the program's tiered structure (SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM) delivers a broad suite of benefits to enhance customer engagement.
As part of the program, customers benefit from in-store promotions and the ability to earn and redeem points across multiple touchpoints, including fuel, lube change services, convenience stores, and car washes. These initiatives have contributed meaningfully to the continued growth of the non-fuel retail segment.
OPEX
ADNOC Distribution cash OPEX increased in 2025 by 5.7% year-on-year to AED 2,548 million, while the Company's operations and associated costs expanded. In particular, number of stations in GCC region excluding newly contracted DOCO stations in KSA increased by 3% at the end of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.
ADNOC Distribution realised like-for-like OPEX savings of AED 24 million in 2025. As a result, last year ADNOC Distribution recorded flat unit OPEX per liter (excluding one-off cash OPEX items) year-on-year, reflecting the efficiency improvement initiatives.
Efficient capital allocation
In line with the plans to continue with its expansion strategy, ADNOC Distribution invested (including accruals/provisions) AED 1,051 million in 2025, of which c.65% spent on growth, in line with AED 0.9-1.1 billion ($250-300 million) CAPEX target for the year.
ADNOC Distribution has demonstrated a proven track-record of value creation since IPO, by pursuing new opportunities in domestic and international markets and allocating cash towards growth. Through efficient capital allocation, the Company has consistently achieved robust rates of return, including Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 32.7% in 2025 (28.8% in 2024) and Return on Equity (ROE) of 86.5% in 2025 (80.9% in 2024).
In 2025 ADNOC Distribution's free cash flow before the effect of working capital changes increased by 10.6% to AED 3,011 million. Headline free cash flow totalled AED 2,721 million, down 2.0% year-on-year.
At the end of 2025, the Company maintained a strong financial position with liquidity of AED 5.4 billion in the form of AED 2.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents and AED 2.8 billion in unutilized credit facility. The balance sheet remained strong with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.70x as of 31 December 2025 (0.69x as of 31 December 2024).
Eng. Bader Al Lamki - Chief Executive Officer:
Bader Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of ADNOC Distribution, said: "2025 was a milestone year for ADNOC Distribution, delivering record financial performance while advancing our transformation into a mobility and convenience retail leader. Strong execution across our core fuel business, non-fuel retail, network expansion and EV infrastructure demonstrates the resilience of our business model and our ability to adapt to evolving customer needs. Since IPO, we have delivered a total shareholder return of 120%; as we look ahead to 2026, we remain focused on disciplined growth, operational excellence and delivering sustainable long-term value for our shareholders."
Growth momentum to sustain in 2026 and beyondADNOC Distribution offers a compelling investment proposition, supported by strong 2025 results and attractive shareholder return. The Company delivered on its capital markets commitment by surpassing AED 3.68 billion ($1 billion) in EBITDA for 2023 and in line with its guidance to deliver EBITDA growth through identified key strategic initiatives and focus areas set a new EBITDA record of AED 4.28 billion ($1.17 billion) in 2025. Last year, EBITDA, underlying EBITDA and net profit all demonstrated double-digit growth, reflecting strong operational execution and resilient business fundamentals. The Company's predictable cash flow generation is a result of a robust regulatory framework, compelling supply contract with ADNOC, industry-leading margins and limited exposure to oil price volatility.
ADNOC Distribution is pursuing growth opportunities in mobility, lifestyle, and energy transformation-linked revenue streams. As part of its strategy to futureproof the business, the Company is doubling down on its non-fuel retail effort and scaling the fast and superfast EV charging infrastructure strategically across its UAE network. In parallel, ADNOC Distribution remains focused on value-accretive expansion - both domestically and internationally - targeting new markets to enhance long-term shareholder value.
Supportive macroeconomic environment
Leveraging on its leadership position in the UAE, customer focus as well as best-in-class mobility and lifestyle experience, in 2025 ADNOC Distribution increased its retail fuel volumes in the GCC markets by 8.4% year-on-year, at a faster rate than the GDP growth.
The Company's growth ambitions are underpinned by the solid macroeconomic backdrop:
The UAE Central Bank estimates the country's GDP growth for 2025 at 5.0% with the non-oil GDP expanding by 4.9%. According to the Central Bank report, 2026 GDP growth is expected to accelerate to 5.2%, with the non-oil GDP growing at 4.7%.
IMF estimates that the UAE real GDP increased by 4.8% in 2025 (including non-oil GDP by 4.6%) and will grow by 5.0% (including non-oil GDP by 4.6%) in 2026 and by 4.7% (including non-oil GDP by 4.6%) in 2027, supported by strong performance of the non-oil sector, infrastructure investments, and expansion in key areas like real estate and finance. The UAE growth rate is the highest among the GCC economies which are expected to demonstrate average growth of 3.3% (including non-oil GDP by 3.7%) in 2025, 4.4% (including non-oil GDP by 3.5%) in 2026 and 4.2% (including non-oil GDP by 3.5%) in 2027.
IMF forecasts that Abu Dhabi's economy will expand by c.6% in 2025 and by 5.8% in 2026, while Dubai's economy is expected to grow by 3.4% in 2025 and by 3.5% in 2026.
UAE GDP increased in Q2 2025 by 4.5% after expanding by 4.0% in 2024 and by 3.9% in Q1 2025. Non-oil GDP increased by 6.1%, mainly driven by strong performance of financial services (+8.3%), construction (+7.9%), manufacturing (+7.0%), real estate (+6.5%), wholesale and retail (+3.4%).
In Q2 2025, our main market Abu Dhabi GDP grew by 3.8% year-on-year. Non-oil sector GDP increased by 6.6% and accounted for 56.8% of the total Abu Dhabi GDP during the quarter. Key non-oil GDP contributing sectors were construction (+9.7%), finance and insurance (+10.3%), transportation and storage (+7.5%) and real estate activities (+10.2%).
In Q3 2025, Dubai GDP increased by 5.3% year-on-year (by 4.7% in the first nine months of 2025). This growth was supported by health and social work activities (+15.4%), construction (+8.5%), finance and insurance (+8.5%), real estate (+6.7%) and information and communications (+4.8%) in 9M 2025.
In Q3 2025, Abu Dhabi airports demonstrated a 10.1% growth in passenger traffic to 8.49 million. In the same period, Sharjah Airport handled 5.13 million passengers, up 16.7% year-on-year. Dubai International Airport saw passenger traffic growing by 1.9% year-on-year to 24.2 million.
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 2025.
ADNOC Distribution strategy
During Investor Day in February 2024, ADNOC Distribution unveiled key strategic initiatives and focus areas, prioritizing innovation and enhancing customer experience among the key objectives. In particular, the focus on seamless customer journeys through digital solutions and hyper-personalization drives improved brand engagement and increased footfall. ADNOC Distribution is scaling up its portfolio of low-carbon energy solutions including biofuels and EV to support de-carbonization of the transport industry and is expanding its non-fuel retail offerings.
At an inaugural ADNOC Investor Majlis on 8 October 2025, the management communicated the Company's compelling equity story, track-record of value creation, and its continued strive to deliver incremental growth through smart growth strategy and futureproofing the business.
ADNOC Distribution aims to deliver EBITDA growth through identified key strategic initiatives and focus areas. Investor Day and ADNOC Investor Majlis guidance included doubling the number of non-fuel transactions between 2023 and 2030, increasing the number of fast and super-fast charging points by 10-15x by 2028 vs. 2023 baseline, reducing like-for-like OPEX by up to AED 184 million ($50 million) during a five-year period of 2024-28, and growing the network of service stations to 1,150 by 2028.
Fuel
New stations: ADNOC Distribution exceeded its upgraded guidance to add 90-100 stations to its network in 2025 by launching 20 stations and contracting 99 new stations in KSA. The Company targets to add 60-70 stations in 2026 across the three markets of its operations.
Refined Products Supply Agreement: at the beginning of 2023, ADNOC Distribution successfully renewed its UAE supply agreement with ADNOC for a new five-year term, reaffirming the Company's strong value proposition driven by predictable margins and highly cash generative core business. The renewal also demonstrated strong and ongoing support from the majority shareholder, ADNOC.
Saudi Arabia: with a fully operational team on the ground, ADNOC Distribution accelerated growth on a large and dynamic KSA market by contracting 129 stations under a DOCO model (30 stations in 2024 and 99 stations in 2025). At the end of December 2025, 31 DOCO stations were operational under ADNOC brand following the upgrades.
Egypt: ADNOC Distribution's acquisition of a 50% stake in TotalEnergies Marketing Egypt in 2023 reaffirmed the Company's commitment to expanding business in attractive international growth markets. Egypt's retail fuel, lubricants and aviation markets are highly attractive with a potential for future growth. Following upgrade, 12 service stations operate under ADNOC Distribution brand.
The Company started blending ADNOC Voyager lubricants in Egypt in 2024, with the intention of making the country a regional export hub.
Non-fuel
Aligned with its growth strategy, ADNOC Distribution is reallocating capital towards enhancing convenience and mobility offerings. The Company continues to invest in delivering a modern, engaging retail experience, transforming its service stations into destinations of choice.
The convenience store upgrade program and introduction of the refreshed Oasis by ADNOC brand are enabling ADNOC Distribution to capture the benefits of its customer-centric initiatives, supporting consistent growth in the convenience retail segment.
Enhancements include a modernized store environment and repositioning the convenience retail offer around a "on the gourmet" proposition with upgraded food, beverage and barista-crafted coffee offerings, reinforcing a consistent, higher-quality customer experience across the network.
After launching six new flagship retail destinations under The Hub by ADNOC brand in 2025, ADNOC Distribution plans to launch five new hubs in 2026 and have 30 sites by 2030.
Operating and investment efficiency
ADNOC Distribution remains on track to reduce structural costs, make its operations leaner and more efficient. Key levers for OPEX optimization include workforce efficiency across stations and convenience stores, energy savings through smart technologies, logistics outsourcing, and centralization of core functions.
After achieving like-for-like OPEX savings of AED 66 million in 2024, ADNOC Distribution realised further OPEX savings of AED 24 million in 2025, on track to reduce like-for-like OPEX by up to AED 184 million ($50 million) in 2024-28.
AI & futureproofing of business Technology:
As a core pillar of its growth strategy, ADNOC Distribution is actively advancing over 20 AI-driven initiatives, integrating artificial intelligence and advanced technologies across all business segments. These efforts are designed to enable data-driven decision-making, accelerate growth, enhance operational efficiency, and elevate the customer experience.
A standout innovation is "Fill & Go", the region's first AI-personalized refuelling experience introduced by ADNOC Distribution. This solution leverages cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning to deliver a seamless, hyper-personalized refuelling process.
ADNOC Distribution has also introduced AI-based clustering of its convenience stores to tailor assortments and pricing by location and customer profile.
Additionally, the Company utilizes a proprietary fuel demand AI Model to optimize fuel delivery across its network. This model achieves forecast accuracy exceeding 95%, significantly outperforming traditional methods that average around 60%. The result is a substantial reduction in fuel inventory runouts. Improved forecast precision has also enabled the Company's supply chain fleet to reduce total fuel truck emissions by 10%, driven by more efficient delivery timing.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure:
ADNOC Distribution remains committed to futureproofing its business through the disciplined and profitable rollout of fast and super-fast EV charging infrastructure.
Chargers are being deployed across the Company's service stations and dedicated mobility hubs at strategic locations throughout the UAE. This rollout is designed to meet current EV charging demand while enhancing the overall customer value proposition. Deployment is calibrated quarterly, based on actual EV uptake and supported by best-in-class technology.
The Company has made significant progress in expanding its EV charging network as part of its broader strategy to address the growing demand for electric mobility solutions. As of the end of 2025, ADNOC Distribution had 402 EV charging points, an increase of 1.8x or 182 charging points compared to the end of 2024, above guidance. This includes 60 EV CPs at region's largest EV Hub which was launched on a key highway connecting Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The network includes both fast and super-fast charging options, strategically covering key highways and urban centres.
ADNOC Distribution aims to further increase its network by 50-60 EV charging points by the end of 2026, cementing its position as a leader in the growing On-the-Go EV charging market.
Sustainability Decarbonization roadmap:
ADNOC Distribution is expanding its sustainability-led initiatives as part of its long-term strategy to futureproof the business. In January 2023, the Company introduced its decarbonization roadmap, committing to a 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of its operations by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline. This roadmap encompasses both Scope 1 emissions, those directly caused by ADNOC Distribution's operations, and Scope 2 emissions, which result from the energy purchased from the grid to power those operations.
To achieve this target, the Company has identified a series of initiatives, ranging from deploying solar panels, reducing energy consumption, optimizing the routes for our fuel supply fleet, use of technologies and AI to optimize the fleet and broader energy optimization measures. Additionally, ADNOC Distribution has introduced Sustainable Design principles that incorporate the use of low carbon techniques, such as 'green concrete', light color surface coating, LED lighting etc. - more environmentally friendly alternatives that help to achieve energy savings and operational efficiency of the service stations.
In January 2025, ADNOC Distribution entered into a partnership with Emerge to supply solar energy to its Abu Dhabi service stations. As part of this initiative, solar PV panels will be installed at over 100 stations across the emirate, with the goal of avoiding more than 13,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. 18 out of 100 service stations were solarised at the end of 2025. This marks the second phase of the Company's solarization program, following the successful deployment of solar PV panels at 28 service stations in Dubai.
Furthermore, ADNOC Distribution has transitioned 100% of its owned heavy vehicle fleet in the UAE to biofuel, reinforcing its commitment to low-carbon operations.
Sustainability Linked Loan:
In January 2023, ADNOC Distribution became the first fuel and convenience retailer in the UAE to access sustainable financing by converting an existing AED 5.5 billion (USD 1.5 billion) term loan into a Sustainability-Linked Loan (SLL). The structure of the loan incorporates a penalty/incentive mechanism tied to the achievement of specific sustainability-linked performance indicators, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity and the share of renewable energy in the Company's energy mix.
This financing initiative aligns ADNOC Distribution's capital structure with its broader sustainability roadmap and reinforces its commitment to ESG principles. In 2025, the Company successfully met both of its key performance indicators under the SLL framework, demonstrating tangible progress against its environmental targets.
Dividend policy
ADNOC Distribution remains firmly committed to delivering sustainable, profitable growth alongside attractive shareholder returns. Reflecting the Company's strong financial position and confidence in future cashflow generation, in March 2024 the shareholders approved a new 2024-28 dividend policy: to pay AED 2.57 billion (20.57 fils per share) or min. 75% of net profit, whichever is higher.
ADNOC Distribution dividend policy provides long-term visibility on expected shareholder distributions while offering upside potential linked to future earnings growth. It offers a balance between reinvestment for growth and sustainable capital returns.
During ADNOC Investor Majlis on 8 October 2025, ADNOC Distribution Board of Directors proposed an extension of the dividend policy to 2030. This proposal will be presented for the shareholders' approval at the AGM in March 2026.
Effective from Q1 2026, the Company expects to introduce a quarterly dividend payment schedule.
In October 2025, ADNOC Distribution paid the dividend of AED 1.285 billion (10.285 fils per share) for the first six-months period of 2025. For H2 2025, the Company expects to distribute AED 1.285 billion (10.285 fils per share) in April 2026, subject to shareholders' approval.
At 20.57 fils per share, 2026 dividend yields 5.0% (at a share price of AED 4.08 as of 2 February 2026).

Q4 2025 and 2025 non-fuel transactions in the UAE increased by 6.8% and 9.3% year-on-year, respectively, driven by improving consumer sentiment, enhanced customer offerings, introduction of car wash tunnels and upgrade of automatic car washes.
Q4 2025 convenience store conversion rate was 27.7%, unchanged compared to Q4 2024. It increased by 50 bps from 26.1% in 2024 to 26.6% in
2025.
The UAE convenience stores revenue increased by 15.7% in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, and by 12.3% in 2025 compared to 2024, mainly driven by the higher number of transactions compared to the same period of 2024.
In Q4 2025, GCC convenience stores gross profit increased by 11.9% year-on-year to AED 112 million and in 2025 by 19.3% year-on-year to AED 393 million driven by the higher number of transactions as a result of enhanced customer offerings, as well as the higher F&B sales.
Average gross basket size decreased by 2.4% year-on-year in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, and by 1.9% year-on-year in 2025 compared to 2024. This reduction was more than compensated by the sizeable growth in the number of non-fuel transactions and the consistent convenience store gross margin growth.
In its property management business, the Company continues to transition its tenancy business to a revenue-sharing model to maximize revenues and profitability. In 2025, the number of occupied and awarded properties for rent remained unchanged year-on-year.
