Alpha Dhabi Holding has announced its financial results for the half-year ended June 30. The company reported net profit of US$2.2 billion (approx) (AED7.9 billion) , up significantly from the corresponding period last year of US$ 453 million (AED1.7 billion).
Revenues for the group saw positive contributions and cross sector growth across its verticals year-on-year.
On a half yearly basis, the group continues to show the strength of its business model, operating structure and ability to execute on its growth strategy with revenues of US$ 4.7 billion, up considerably year-on-year from US$ 1.5 billion for the same period last year.
Alpha Dhabi is also starting to see the benefits of its expansion outside of the UAE with overseas revenue accounting for US$ 572 million, representing a 514 percent increase year-on-year.
In April 2022, Alpha Dhabi increased its stake in Aldar Properties, solidifying its position as a long term, strategic shareholder and firm believer of Aldar’s growth potential and strategy.
Alpha Dhabi was able to appoint a majority of Aldar’s Board of Directors resulting in it becoming Aldar’s parent company.
Alpha Dhabi’s financial statements include the results and financial position of Aldar as a subsidiary from the date of acquisition.
This consolidation has transformed Alpha Dhabi’s financial position and added immense potential and growth opportunities to its already substantial platform.
Hamad Al Ameri, CEO of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said, “As our platform continues to grow from strength to strength, we remain active in seeking and pursuing investment opportunities that meet our financial and return thresholds.”
He said, “We are also looking for investments with a strategic element where we can leverage our platform, operating subsidiaries and size to drive further growth. As we continue on our journey to build scale, we will also realize synergies and create significant value for our shareholders.”
This announcement follows the first full year since Alpha Dhabi’s successful direct listing on ADX in June 2021 and its transformation into one of the largest investment holding companies in the UAE.
The first half of 2022 has seen Alpha Dhabi ramp up transaction activity, building on its strong momentum and performance since its listing on ADX, both on the strategic and financial fronts across its core verticals.
Over the last 12 months, Alpha Dhabi has continued to build scale, enhance diversification, balance its growing portfolio and deploy capital effectively through both organic growth and as well as strategic investments and acquisitions.
These growth initiatives, along with the impact of consolidating Aldar, have led to a sizeable increase in Alpha Dhabi’s total assets which have more than doubled from US$ 12.9 billion at the end of 2021 to US$ 27.6 billion in H1 2022, providing the group with a solid platform and scale to drive forward its growth ambitions.
Alpha Dhabi is capitalized, well-funded and has a strong cash position of US$ 4.5 billion as it carries on its expansion across its sectors and geographies of focus.
