Alpha Dhabi Holding, one of the MENA region’s fastest-growing investment holding companies, has reported a 23% year-on-year increase in group revenue for Q1 2025, reaching AED17.4 billion (US$4.74 billion). The company’s adjusted EBITDA rose 33% to AED4.4 billion (US$1.2 billion), bolstered by strong performance across its key verticals, including real estate, industrial, and construction.
Despite a dip in net profit to AED2.1 billion (US$570 million)—down from the same quarter last year due to fair market valuation changes in some publicly listed assets—the group’s total assets crossed the US$50 billion mark, reaching AED185.2 billion (US$50.4 billion).
Strategic Growth Across Core Sectors
Alpha Dhabi’s diversified business model spans more than 250 subsidiaries across healthcare, renewable energy, petrochemicals, real estate, construction, and hospitality. The company’s Q1 2025 financials revealed robust contributions from its major business verticals:
- Real estate: AED6.4 billion (US$1.74 billion)
- Industrial: AED6.2 billion (US$1.69 billion)
- Construction: AED2.7 billion (US$735 million)
- Services and others: AED2.1 billion (US$572 million)
This solid performance affirms Alpha Dhabi’s operational strength and its ability to tap into long-term macroeconomic trends across fast-growing sectors.
Leadership Perspective on Transformation and Outlook
Mohamed Thani Murshed Ghannam Al Rumaithi, Chairman of Alpha Dhabi Holding, noted the group’s steady momentum as it entered 2025:
“Alpha Dhabi began 2025 on a strong footing, building on a year of transformation and guided by a clear strategy for future growth. Collectively, we have advanced the business both horizontally and vertically, strategically capturing opportunities with the potential to deliver deep, meaningful growth. Our performance for the quarter reflects the pace of this growth, with our success being underpinned by the evolution of a portfolio which spans diverse geographies and future-focused sectors.”
He added that the evolution of Alpha Dhabi’s multi-sector portfolio, spanning dynamic geographies and future-focused industries, played a pivotal role in delivering quarter-over-quarter growth.
Group CEO and Managing Director Hamad Al Ameri echoed this sentiment:
“Our Q1 2025 results demonstrate the power of Alpha Dhabi’s investment strategy. By focusing on opportunities created by growing economies and populations, technological disruption and sustainable business models, we have built a balanced portfolio of exceptional assets.”
Expansion Through Key Partnerships and Acquisitions
Alpha Dhabi continued to enhance its market position through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In Q1 2025, the group became a majority shareholder in the National Corporation for Tourism and Hotels (NCTH). Additionally, its joint venture portfolio with Mubadala reached a valuation of AED3.7 billion (US$1 billion), with a deployment target of up to AED9.2 billion (US$2.5 billion) by 2028.
These moves underscore the firm’s commitment to growth across hospitality, infrastructure, and sustainable investments.
