The company achieved a record annual revenue of AED 32.84 billion ($8.9 billion), EBITDA of AED 17.37 billion, and a net profit after tax of AED 9.09 billion ($2.5 billion).

Sustainability efforts also made significant progress, with clean energy generation exceeding 10 TWh for the first time, supporting the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 goal.
