Khalifa Sultan Al Suwaidi, Chairman of Agthia Group, said: “The Board’s recommendation and subsequent approval of a 19% year-on-year increase in full-year dividends reflects our ongoing commitment to creating sustainable, long-term value to our shareholders. Our progressive dividend policy remains a key pillar of shareholder engagement, underscoring our confidence in the Group’s strategic direction and operational strength.

Agthia Group recently reported a solid fiscal performance in the financial year 2024, with Group net revenue growing over 7.7% year-on-year to reach AED 4.9 billion. While Group EBITDA declined 1.5% year-on-year to AED 679 million, reflecting pressures in parts of the business, strong performances from Abu Auf and core UAE businesses helped partially offset the impact. Group’s Reported Net Profit climbed 7.4% to AED 321.8 million, with earnings per share up 7.9%, reinforcing Agthia’s resilience in navigating complex operating environment while delivering shareholder value and remaining well-positioned for sustainable growth and strategic expansion.
