Abu Dhabi, UAE; 31 July 2024: Alpha Dhabi Holding PJSC (“Alpha Dhabi” or “the Group”), one of the fastest-growing investment holding companies in the MENA region, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX: AlphaDhabi), has announced a group net profit of AED 6.7 billion for the six-month period ending 30 June 2024.

Net profit from operations also surged to AED 5.1 billion, marking 92% year-on-year increase, while gross profit was at AED 6.4 billion, a notable 38% YoY increase.

Total gains in the first half of the year at AED 2.0 billion, were lower than corresponding period in 2023 when the group de-recognized PureHealth. The reduction in gains, together with the adoption of Corporation Tax in the UAE in 2024, contributed to a decrease in group net profit, overall.

His Excellency Mohamed Thani Murshed Ghannam Al Rumaithi, Chairman of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: "Alpha Dhabi has continued to build a resilient and forward-looking portfolio deep into 2024, delivering on what we set out to do at the beginning of the year. As always, our aim is to do well, and to do good - meaning we strive to deliver exceptional performance and to create long-term residual value across the UAE economy for the benefit of its people. This is exactly what we achieved in the last six months with our increased revenue for this period last year, showing full well the strength and success of our business. Now, with our sights firmly set on the future, our portfolio is geared towards catalysing opportunities that will enable and encourage enterprises to transform and adapt through innovation and sustainability."

Eng. Hamad Al Ameri, CEO of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: “Alpha Dhabi continues to demonstrate significant performance across its portfolio by adding strategic investments in high growth industries that are shaping the future. Yet again, we’ve underscored that the fundamentals of our business are strong, and we’ve also made meaningful partnerships and captured exciting opportunities. Our net profit from operations surging by 92% to AED 5.1 billion, is a firm reflection of how we are deepening our presence in key markets and sectors.
