ADNOC Gas Reports Unprecedented $5 Billion Profit in 2024, Fueling Future Sustainable Growth
ADNOC Gas plc, a major player in the global gas market, has announced impressive financial results for the fiscal year 2024, marking a significant achievement with a net income of $5 billion. This milestone reflects a robust growth strategy aimed at expanding its presence in both local and international markets. The company's performance exceeded expectations, with a substantial EBITDA of $8.65 billion, a 14% increase year-on-year, showcasing strong operational efficiency.
The growth in net income demonstrates ADNOC Gas's ability to meet the rising demand for domestic gas while also adapting to market conditions that have led to improved pricing. Specifically, the total sales volumes for FY 2024 saw a 2% increment, reaching 3,616 million MMBTU, bolstered by a 13% rise in contributions from the ADNOC LNG joint venture.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, the Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, expressed pride in the company's robust performance, stating that these results validate ADNOC Gas's ambitious growth strategy. The focus is not only on maximizing shareholder returns, but also on ensuring environmental sustainability by investing in projects that support lower carbon domestic gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production.
Looking towards the future, ADNOC Gas has set an ambitious target to increase EBITDA by over 40% by 2029. To support this objective, the company has earmarked up to $15 billion in capital expenditures from 2025 to 2029, which includes the acquisition of a 60% stake in the Ruwais liquefied natural gas project - a significant endeavor that underscores ADNOC's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint while continuing to expand its capabilities.
In April 2025, ADNOC Gas plans to distribute a total dividend of $3.41 billion for FY 2024, reflecting a consistent annual increase of 5% in dividends. This strategy reinforces the company's commitment to delivering value to shareholders while maintaining a healthy free cash flow, which amounted to an impressive $4.58 billion in 2024.
The quarterly results for Q4 2024 were equally noteworthy, with an adjusted revenue of $6.06 billion and net income of $1.38 billion. This success derived in part from an optimal product mix and advantageous commercial agreements in the domestic market.
Overall, ADNOC Gas's impressive financial performance in 2024 paints a promising picture of sustainable growth and a proactive approach to the energy transformation required in today's economy. It stands as a robust example of how energy companies can navigate market fluctuations successfully while addressing environmental responsibilities and shareholder expectations.
ADNOC Gas continues to position itself as a leader in the energy sector, emphasizing its role in the UAE’s economy while extending its influence abroad. As the global demand for cleaner energy sources rises, ADNOC Gas is well-poised to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead, driven by innovation and strategic investments in sustainable gas production. This trajectory not only aims to meet immediate energy needs but also sets the foundation for a greener future.
