Emaar Properties PJSC announced on March 25 that its shareholders approved a 100% dividend payout of AED 8.8 billion (US$2.4 billion) during the company’s Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors also reviewed Emaar’s financial performance for 2025 and discussed strategic priorities for the coming period.
The dividend approval reflects Emaar’s stated commitment to delivering value to shareholders, in line with its policy announced in December 2024. The AGM included approvals of both the auditor’s report and the Board’s report on company activities and financial position for the year.
According to company figures, Emaar reported property sales of AED 80.4 billion (US$21.9 billion) in 2025, representing a record high and a 16% increase from the previous year. Revenue backlog from property sales reached AED 155 billion (US$42.1 billion), while total revenue climbed by 40% year-on-year to AED 49.6 billion (US$13.5 billion). EBITDA rose by one-third to reach AED 25.6 billion (US$7 billion), and net profit before tax grew by over a third compared to last year, totaling AED 25.7 billion (US$7 billion).
The company highlighted ongoing growth across core businesses including property development, malls, hospitality, leisure, and international markets as drivers of these results.
Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar Properties, said: “Our 2025 performance reflects the strength of the UAE’s leadership and the clear vision that continues to shape Dubai as one of the world’s most dynamic and trusted destinations for investment and growth. This environment enables companies like Emaar to plan with confidence, innovate, and deliver long-term value. I would also like to recognise the dedication of our teams whose commitment to quality and execution continues to drive our success.”
Looking ahead into next year, Emaar said it plans further new developments while expanding its operational capabilities in key markets.
