Management Discussion & Analysis

Operational Highlights

Grocery Retail

In FY 2025, the Group operated a network of 99 stores across ADCOOP, SPAR and COOPS formats, compared to 107 stores in FY 2024. The reduction reflects the ongoing network optimization strategy, which focuses on closing non-strategic locations and concentrating resources on higher-performing stores to strengthen customer value and operational efficiency across the retail network.

During the year, the Group also completed the integration of its retail operations under the unified ADCOOP brand and progressed with its store modernization program, with 80 stores successfully rebranded.

As part of its long-term growth strategy, ADCOOP launched two private label product lines, Yalla! and Xpert, expanding product assortment while supporting margin enhancement initiatives. In addition, the Group further strengthened its strategic partnership with the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) by becoming the exclusive operator of the Abu Dhabi Citizens’ Food Products Program through the ADCOOP retail network.

Commercial Real Estate

In FY 2025, Makani Real Estate (“Makani”), the Group’s commercial real estate arm, continued to expand and strengthen its real estate portfolio with the opening of six new malls and community hubs, including Souq Al Jami’ in Al Ain and Makani Khalidiya Garden in Abu Dhabi. These developments added 29,000 sqm of gross leasable area (GLA), bringing the total portfolio to 411,000 sqm as at FY 2025.

Portfolio performance also improved during the year, with occupancy increasing from 91% in FY 2024 to 93% in FY 2025. This reflects ongoing leasing initiatives and continued focus on curating a diversified tenant mix, aimed at enhancing footfall, improving tenant retention, and strengthening the overall customer experience across its community retail destinations.

Makani also continued to pursue strategic portfolio expansion during the year. A key milestone was the agreement with AD Ports Group to acquire KEZAD Logistics Park - KLP Free Zone 3 (FZ3) under an extendable 50-year Musataha arrangement. This transaction increases exposure to income-generating logistics assets while further diversifying the real estate portfolio and strengthening its presence.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Financial Highlights

Group Revenue

The Group reported total revenue of AED 1,956 million in FY 2025 (2024: AED 2,060 million), as the business continues its transformation journey. Growth in leasing revenue from Makani, continued to strengthen the revenue mix, with income rising to AED 220 million (2024: AED 204 million). Retail sales softened to AED 1,661 million (2024: AED 1,800 million) primarily due to the continued rebranding of the store portfolio and the planned exit from selected loss-making stores.

Net Profit

Net profit for the year increased to AED 190.8 million in FY 2025, compared to AED 171.1 million in FY 2024, reflecting an 11.5% year-on-year increase. This performance was supported by resilient operating contributions across the portfolio and included profit from disposal of non-core assets, and a material reduction in finance costs following the full repayment of bank borrowings.

Capital Expenditure

FY 2025 capex amounted to AED 216.3 million compared to AED 138.9 million in FY 2024. The increase is primarily driven by continued investments in enhancing the Group’s existing portfolio and assets, coupled with the expansion of its footprint through new real estate assets and retail stores. The capex spend in the year was offset by the disposal of non-core assets.

Cashflow and Balance Sheet

As of 31 December 2025, the Group’s total assets stood at AED 5,611 million, compared to AED 5,673 million at the end of 2024. The marginal reduction reflects balance sheet optimization during the year, including lower cash balances resulting from the planned investments in capital expenditure aimed at supporting long-term growth. Total liabilities stood at AED 1,260 million, representing a significant decrease compared to AED 1,419 million in 2024, driven by continued deleveraging and the full repayment of all outstanding debt obligations.

Net cash stood at AED 385 million at year-end (AED 323 million excluding restricted cash balance), providing the Group with ample liquidity to fund future expansion opportunities. The Group maintained a healthy cash conversion ratio of 0.80, representing an improvement of 0.04 year-on-year.

Dividends

The Group’s Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of AED 95.4 million, equivalent to AED 0.043 per share, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The proposed dividend payout will be equivalent to 50% of profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2025, reflecting a balanced approach to retained earnings that support future growth.
