TECOM Group has posted strong financial results for the first half of 2025, reporting a 22 per cent jump in net profit year-on-year to AED 737 million.

The Group, which operates 10 specialised business districts across Dubai, also posted a 21 per cent rise in revenue, reaching AED 1.4 billion, driven by higher rental rates, strong occupancy and returns from strategic asset acquisitions.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA|) climbed 24 per cent to AED 1.1 billion, with the Group’s EBITDA margin improving to 80 per cent, reflecting continued operational efficiency.

Funds from operations also saw a 17 per cent boost, reaching AED 984 million, further highlighting strong portfolio performance and revenue quality.

In line with its dividend policy, TECOM’s Board has approved an interim cash dividend of AED 400 million for the first half of the year.

The results reinforce TECOM Group’s position as a key player in Dubai’s business landscape, supporting vital sectors and strengthening the UAE’s role as a global investment hub.
