ADNOC Distribution reports $174mln net profit, with 16% y-o-y increase
For the first three months of 2025, ADNOC Distribution's financial performance significantly exceeded analyst expectations. Net profit increased 16 percent year-on-year (y-o-y) to $174 million (AED639 million), with EBITDA increasing by 11 percent y-o-y to $275 million (AED1.01 billion), the company's highest first-quarter EBITDA result since its 2017 IPO. Underlying EBITDA rose 13 percent y-o-y to $246 million (AED904 million).
These strong results reflect growth in both fuel and non-fuel segments, driven by the company's focus on sustainable growth and cost efficiencies.
ADNOC Distribution added 20 new service stations in Q1, bringing the network-wide total to 915, up from 846 in Q1 2024 and putting the company on track to meet its target of 40-50 new stations by the end of 2025.
Key to this expansion has been ADNOC Distribution's focus on the large and dynamic Saudi fuel retail market, where the Company is able to expand quickly to meet increasing demand while minimising CAPEX by deploying a Dealer Owned-Company Operated (DOCO) business model.
In Q1 2025, ADNOC Distribution contracted 15 service stations in Saudi Arabia, growing its total network in the country to 115, up by 67 percent compared to Q1 2024.
Eng. Bader Saeed Al Lamki, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Distribution, said, 'Our record first-quarter performance demonstrates our commitment to growth and delivering sustainable and innovative solutions to our customers while creating long-term value for shareholders. Our outstanding Q1 2025 results, with an 11 percent rise in EBITDA and a 16 percent increase in net profit, highlight ADNOC Distribution's outstanding progress against our 2024-2028 growth strategy and our commitment to operational excellence.
"As we continue to expand our network and capabilities, adding new service stations and enhancing our customer experiences, we remain focused on capturing new opportunities and setting new benchmarks for the mobility and convenience retail industry."
In Q1 2025, ADNOC Distribution achieved its highest-ever first-quarter fuel volume of 3.7 billion litres, driven by market share growth, increasing demand, and network expansion in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Non-fuel retail (NFR) continues to be a key growth driver, outpacing fuel growth and allowing ADNOC Distribution to extract more value from its assets.
ADNOC Rewards, the UAE's largest fuel and convenience loyalty programme, now has 2.4 million members – a 19 percent y-o-y increase. In Q1 2025, NFR gross profit grew by 14 percent y-o-y, driven by a 9 percent increase in transactions, higher convenience store conversion rates, and continued strong performance in car wash, lube change, and property management services.
ADNOC Distribution added 20 new quick-service retail outlets in Q1 2025, further cementing its position as the largest retail property network in the UAE with 1,165 units across the country.
Additionally, the company significantly expanded its E2GO public EV charging network, adding 63 new fast and super-fast charging points in Q1, bringing the total to 283 installed across the UAE -a y-o-y increase of 318 percent.
This expansion puts ADNOC Distribution on track to meet its target of 100 additional charging points by the end of 2025, in line with a commitment to grow the network to over 500 charging points by 2028.

Saudi Arabia sees 144% surge in new mining exploitation licenses in H1 2025
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia recorded a 144 percent increase in new mining exploitation licenses during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to a statement issued Thursday by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources. The ministry said it issued 22 exploitation and small-mine licenses in the six-month period, up from just nine in H1 2024, representing a total investment exceeding SR134 million ($35.7 million). The ministry attributed the significant growth to reforms aimed at improving the investment climate in the mining sector, which is emerging as a central pillar in the Kingdom's economic diversification plans. Ministry spokesperson Jarrah Aljarrah confirmed that 23 mining companies obtained licenses in the first half of 2025, including 16 firms receiving their first-ever mining license. The licensed areas span 47 square kilometers and are expected to produce 7.86 million tons annually of various minerals including salt, clay, silica sand, low-grade iron ore, feldspar, and gypsum. As of June 2025, Saudi Arabia had 239 active exploitation and small-mine licenses, including 32 category A licenses for strategic minerals such as gold, copper, phosphate, and bauxite. The remaining 207 category B licenses cover industrial minerals like silica sand, gypsum, limestone, salt, and clay. The ministry reiterated its commitment to expanding the mining sector as a key driver of the Kingdom's industrial future. It aims to unlock an estimated SR9.4 trillion ($2.5 trillion) in untapped mineral resources, positioning the sector as a third pillar of the Saudi industrial economy. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.
