ADIB Shareholders Approve Cash Dividend Increase to 97.05 Fils per Share

During the Annual General Assembly (AGM) on Wednesday, shareholders of Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) approved the distribution of a cash dividend of 97.05 fils per share. This represents a total payout of Dh3,524,856,000, which is equivalent to 50 per cent of the 2025 net profit, marking an increase from 83 fils per share in 2024.

The announcement was made at ADIB HQ.

In 2025, ADIB reported a strong financial performance, achieving a net profit before tax of Dh8.1 billion, representing an 18 per cent year-on-year growth. The return on equity reached an exceptional 29 per cent.

Total assets grew by 24 per cent to Dh281 billion, with customer financing expanding, supported by strong growth in customer deposits. The asset quality also improved, with the non-performing financing ratio declining to its lowest level on record.

Throughout the year, ADIB attracted approximately 283,000 new customers. These achievements were accompanied by the launch of the Bank’s new Vision 2035, which provides a strategic framework for sustainable growth and long-term value creation.

Shareholders at the meeting approved the board of directors’ report, the auditors' report, and the financial statements for the year 2025.

Jawaan Awaidha Suhail Al Khaili, ADIB's Chairman, stated, “During the year, we continued to advance our sustainability agenda, taking meaningful steps to support our ESG roadmap. With the launch of Vision 2035, we have set a clear and transformative roadmap that positions ADIB at the forefront of the industry, driven by innovation, digital and AI capabilities, a strong customer focus, and a deep commitment to long-term sustainable growth.”

Mohamed Abdelbary, ADIB's Group Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As we embark on a new strategic chapter with the launch of ADIB Vision 2035, we are building on five years of consistent outperformance to position ADIB as a future-ready, innovative Islamic bank focused on sustainable growth, customer value, and long-term shareholder returns.”
