The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) reported a 98% compliance rate for the disclosure of audited annual financial statements for 2025. Moreover, the exchange said the result supports its focus on market transparency and integrity.
ADX said the strong disclosure performance contributed to a trusted market environment. Additionally, it said listed companies continued to record solid growth, with total net profit rising 17% year on year to more than AED200bn.
A total of 99 out of 101 traded listed companies submitted their audited results within the legally required 90-day disclosure window. However, the figures exclude two companies operating under different fiscal calendars, with one already meeting its June year-end deadline and the other not yet due for its March year-end filing.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, said: “The higher compliance rate and lift in net profit tell a clear story of resilience as ADX-listed companies and their efforts in advocating good governance standards.
At the ADX Group, our priorities remain focused on providing an agile and liquid capital market, supported by a diversified investor base, strong institutional participation, and a regulatory framework that continues to strengthen investor confidence. We will leave no stone unturned to bolster Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s economic evolution, growth, and competitiveness.”
In 2025, ADX-listed companies distributed close to AED74bn in dividends to shareholders. Furthermore, the exchange said the continued emphasis on governance supports efforts to attract and retain global capital and expertise into Abu Dhabi.
