Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company PJSC (du) reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, highlighting solid profitability and broad-based growth across its core business areas.
Revenues climbed 7.9 percent year-on-year to AED3.87 billion, driven by steady performance across the mobile, fixed, and ICT segments.

Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO of du, said the results underscored the company’s sustained growth trajectory and financial discipline. He added that the successful secondary public offering, which raised du’s free float to 27.7 percent, improved market liquidity and broadened the investor base—signifying strong confidence in du’s long-term outlook.
The company’s mobile subscriber base grew 10.3 percent year-on-year to 9.2 million, supported by rising demand in both prepaid and postpaid segments. Fixed-line subscriptions also increased by 9.7 percent to 718,000, reflecting continued interest in home wireless and fibre broadband services.
Operating free cash flow expanded 11 percent to AED1.36 billion, while capital expenditure reached AED492 million, representing a 12.7 percent intensity ratio.
Al Hassawi said the company’s consistent performance over three quarters reinforced its 2025 guidance, projecting annual revenue growth between 6 and 8 percent and an EBITDA margin in the range of 45 to 47 percent.
He further emphasised that du plans to sustain this momentum by strengthening its core connectivity business and advancing emerging growth areas such as artificial intelligence and digital solutions. He cited initiatives like the AI Park ecosystem and the AI supercluster as pivotal to du’s strategy of supporting sovereign AI leadership and driving sustainable economic diversification.
