Abu Dhabi Holding Conglomerate Reports Impressive Net Profits of $2.8 Billion
Alpha Dhabi Holding, one of Abu Dhabi's major investment firms, posted strong financial results for the first nine months of 2025. The company's revenue hit 54.9 billion dirhams ($15 billion), while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization jumped 25% to 12.8 billion dirhams compared to the same period last year.
The numbers show how Abu Dhabi's investment giants are expanding across multiple sectors. Alpha Dhabi's portfolio spans industrial operations that brought in 20.5 billion dirhams, real estate generating 19.3 billion dirhams, construction adding 8.7 billion dirhams, and services contributing 6.3 billion dirhams. Net profits reached 10.4 billion dirhams across these sectors.
The company's balance sheet got stronger too. Total assets grew 16% to 205.6 billion dirhams, while cash reserves stood at 31.7 billion dirhams. Shareholder equity reached 100.8 billion dirhams, giving Alpha Dhabi significant financial flexibility for future deals.
For investors watching Gulf markets, these results matter because they show how UAE investment firms are diversifying beyond oil. Alpha Dhabi has been putting money into what it calls "future sectors" - areas expected to drive Abu Dhabi's economy in coming years. The strategy appears to be working, with the company maintaining its growth trajectory even as global economic conditions remain uncertain.
Board Chairman Mohammed Thani Murshid Ghanem Al Rumaithi said the results reflect their disciplined approach to finding valuable investment opportunities. "Our revenue growth to 54.9 billion dirhams shows the breadth and diversity of our operations," he noted. The company's sectors are positioned to benefit from global trends shaping Abu Dhabi's future economy.
CEO Hamad Al Ameri highlighted how 2025 has been focused on speeding up innovation and expanding across their business lines. He said the revenue and earnings growth demonstrates what they've accomplished and their ambitious plans ahead. The company is now prioritizing artificial intelligence integration across its operations and subsidiaries, embedding AI into core business activities and decision-making processes.
Alpha Dhabi's international investments contributed 7.3 billion dirhams in revenue - about 13% of total revenue and representing 20% annual growth. This international expansion helps reduce the company's dependence on domestic markets while tapping into global opportunities.
The results come as Abu Dhabi continues pushing economic diversification efforts. Investment firms like Alpha Dhabi play a key role in this strategy, channeling capital into sectors beyond traditional energy businesses. With strong cash reserves and a growing asset base, Alpha Dhabi appears well-positioned to pursue more acquisitions and investments through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.
