The Board of Directors recommends a final cash dividend payment of AED1.45 billion (US$394 million) for 2024 (9.05 fils per share), subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The resulting total dividend for 2024 Dhs2.90 billion, or US$788 million (c.18.1 fils per share) represents a 10 per cent year-on-year increase versus 2023.
The final 2024 dividend is expected to be distributed in the first half of April 2025. The dividend will then increase to at least Dhs3.18 billion (US$867 million) for 2025 based on the minimum 10 percent year-on-year increase.
For the fourth quarter 2024, revenue grew 41 percent year-on-year to Dhs4.37 billion (US$1.19 billion), driven by increased activity and growth of onshore and offshore fleets and the expansion of oilfield services (OFS).
EBITDA grew 41 percent year-on-year to Dhs2.190 billion (US$596 million) and net profit was Dhs1.50 billion (US$399 million), growing at a pace closer to EBITDA, once excluding from Q4 2023 the positive one-off impact on D&A.
At the end of Q4 2024, the fleet consisted of 142 owned rigs. In 2024 the Company operationalised 23 rigs, including two jack-up rigs set to join in H1 2025.
