Operating income reached D 12.6 billion, while net profit before tax totaled D 8.3 billion, reflecting resilient performance and disciplined execution in a softer rate and higher-tax environment.

Performance in 2025 was driven by strong balance-sheet expansion, with customer loans growing 32% year-on-year, customer deposits increasing 27%, and total assets rising 25% to D 335 billion, as Mashreq scaled its digital-first operating model and captured increased trade and capital flows across key global corridors.

Mashreq maintained strong efficiency, with a cost-to-income ratio of 31%, supported by a structurally strong funding profile underpinned by a CASA ratio of 62%. Asset quality remained industry-leading, with a non-performing loan ratio of 1.0% and a coverage ratio of 263%, underpinned by strong portfolio performance and sustained credit discipline across geographies.

The year also marked a milestone in Mashreq’s institutional standing, with its designation as a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB) by the Central Bank of the UAE, reflecting the Bank’s scale, systemic relevance and robust risk governance as it continues to expand its global footprint.

Revenues and Income Generation

Strong operating income reflecting the scalability of Mashreq’s diversified, globally connected franchise, underpinned by strong balance-sheet growth and expanding trade and transaction flows.

  • Operating income reached D 12.6 billion in 2025, up 3% year-on-year on an adjusted basis excluding one-off gain resulting from the IDFAA partial divestment in 2024, supported by higher origination volumes and stronger income contribution across Mashreq’s franchises.

  • Net interest margin (NIM) remained resilient at 3.1% for the full year, despite cumulative policy rate cuts of 175 basis points since H2 2024, supported by disciplined repricing and a stable low-cost funding base, with Current Account Savings Account (CASA) at 62%.

  • Non-interest income increased 16% year-on-year (excluding one- off gain from partial divestment of IDFAA), driven by a 53% increase in investment income and a 30% increase in other income (excluding one-offs), reflecting higher transaction intensity and reinforcing the shift toward a more balanced and fee-accretive earnings mix.

  • Cross-sell ratio rose to 35%, up approximately 400 basis points year-on-year (excluding one-offs), demonstrating a step-up in multi-product adoption across core client relationships and reinforcing the durability and diversification of the income mix.

Expenses and Efficiency

Mashreq delivered a strong and resilient efficiency outcome in 2025, maintaining a healthy cost profile while executing international expansion and accelerating investment in digital and AI capabilities.

  • Operating expenses increased by 5% year-on-year, reflecting targeted investments in digital platforms, AI capabilities and international build-out, while maintaining disciplined cost management amid materially higher business volumes.

  • Cost-to-income ratio stood at 31%, remaining healthy and competitive in a year marked by elevated investment activity and geographic expansion, underscoring the scalability of Mashreq’s operating model.

  • Significant investment during the year focused on AI deployment, digital onboarding, credit decisioning and transaction processing capabilities, enhancing straight-through processing, reducing manual intervention and strengthening operational resilience across retail, SME and wholesale businesses.

Earnings and Profitability

Strong profitability and superior returns delivered in a year marked by record balance-sheet growth, disciplined execution

and a structurally higher tax environment.

  • Net profit before tax reached D 8.3 billion in 2025, with net profit after tax of D 7.0 billion, reflecting the Bank’s ability to translate scale, diversification and operating discipline into strong earnings despite the introduction of corporate income taxation.

  • Return on equity remained strong at 20%, with return on assets at 2.3%, underscoring Mashreq’s ability to generate high-quality returns through disciplined capital deployment, stable margins and a diversified income base.

  • Impairment charges remained low at D 444 million, equivalent to a cost of credit of 27 basis points, demonstrating strong portfolio performance and credit discipline across geographies despite rapid loan growth.

  • Tax expense increased to D 1.3 billion in 2025 from D 869 million in 2024, with the effective tax rate rising to 15.63% from 8.79%, primarily reflecting the introduction of the UAE Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT) and the application of Pillar Two rules; notwithstanding this structural step-up, profitability and returns remained firmly strong.

Asset Quality and Risk Management

Industry-leading asset quality sustained through a year of exceptional balance-sheet expansion, underpinned by strong portfolio performance and disciplined credit execution across geographies.

  • Mashreq delivered the lowest non-performing loan ratio in the sector at 1.0% as at 31 December 2025, improving from 1.4% a year earlier, despite 32% year-on-year growth in customer loans.

  • Coverage ratio strengthened to a robust 263%, providing a substantial buffer against potential downside risk and reinforcing balance-sheet resilience as activity levels and transaction volumes expanded.

  • Strong asset quality outcomes were supported by disciplined credit selection, portfolio steering and sustained credit discipline across geographies, enabling Mashreq to scale lending activity while preserving best-in-class credit metrics.

Balance Sheet Strength

Balance-sheet momentum accelerated in 2025, driven by strong client demand, disciplined balance-sheet deployment and continued expansion across Mashreq’s core franchises.

  • Total assets increased 25% year-on-year to D 335 billion as at 31 December 2025, reflecting broad-based balancesheet growth across the UAE franchise and selective expansion aligned with client activity.

  • Total lending across customers and banks grew 30% year-on-year to D 230 billion, supported by strong origination across wholesale, retail and financial institution portfolios and higher transaction and financing volumes.

  • Customer deposits rose 27% year-on-year to D 205 billion, underpinned by continued growth in granular retail and corporate balances, with a CASA ratio of 62% providing a stable, low-cost funding base.

Capital and Liquidity Position

Strategic capital and liquidity management in 2025 reinforced Mashreq’s ability to fund growth, absorb volatility and support expanding client activity across markets.

  • Liquidity metrics remained comfortably above regulatory requirements, with a liquid assets ratio of 28%, loan-todeposit ratio of 80% and liquidity coverage ratio of 158%, supporting elevated lending and transaction activity.

  • Funding resilience was further strengthened through two highly successful and oversubscribed transactions in 2025: a USD 2 billion syndicated loan facility and a debut USD 500 million Sukuk issuance, underscoring strong investor demand and confidence in Mashreq’s credit profile.

  • Capitalisation remained among the strongest in the sector, with a capital adequacy ratio of 14.5%, Tier 1 ratio of 13.4% and CET1 ratio of 12.3%, supported by solid internal capital generation and best-in-class asset quality.

H.E. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Chairman of Mashreq

As we reflect on 2025, Mashreq’s progress is defined by resilience, disciplined growth, and a clear commitment to our purpose as a trusted enabler of financial advancement across borders. In a year that tested global markets and accelerated the shift toward a digitalfirst economy, Mashreq delivered a strong performance, achieving a net profit before tax of D 8.3 billion.

This outcome reflects the strength of our strategy, the trust of our clients, and the enduring relevance of our role in the UAE’s evolving financial landscape. Being recognised as a Domestic Systemically Important Bank by the Central Bank of the UAE is not only an honor but also a responsibility, one that underscores our position as a foundational pillar in the country’s continued rise as a regional and global financial hub.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on advancing innovation, expanding our international reach, and embedding sustainability into our long-term agenda. With a strong foundation and a forward-looking vision, Mashreq will continue to empower clients, communities, and economies through inclusive, human-centric and technology-enabled banking.

Ahmed Abdelaal

Group Chief Executive Officer

2025 marked another pivotal year in Mashreq’s journey as a digitally advanced, globally connected bank serving clients across some of the world’s most dynamic trade and investment corridors. In a year of continued transformation and growth, we delivered operating income of D 12.6 billion, expanded our total assets by 25% to D 335 billion, and achieved a return on equity of 20%, all while maintaining a cost-toincome ratio of 31%, among the best in the industry.

This performance reflects our ability to scale strategically, remain agile in a changing economic environment, and deliver value through a diversified business model. Our expansion across strategic markets such as Türkiye, India, Egypt, and the US, the launch of our fully digital bank in Pakistan, and the continued development of Mashreq NEO platforms have enabled us to serve clients across retail, SME, and institutional segments with speed, intelligence and consistency.

As the only US dollar clearing bank based in the region, we have strengthened our role as a critical hub for cross-border trade, capital markets, and settlement infrastructure. Our wholesale banking and capital markets franchises continued to grow, and we were proud to support regional clients in accessing global investors and liquidity through innovative financing solutions.

Digital transformation remains central to our operating model. In 2025, we accelerated the deployment of AI tools across lending, onboarding, credit decisioning, and fraud prevention.

Our in-house digital studios played a vital role in building scalable platforms and journeys that deliver real-

time experiences while ensuring operational resilience and regulatory compliance.

We also deepened our focus on sustainability. By year-end, we facilitated significant volumes of sustainable finance, expanded our range of green retail offerings, and advanced our environmental commitments through high-efficiency operations and certified buildings across key markets.

Above all, it is our people who drive this transformation. We continued to invest in leadership development, inclusion, and nationalization, while supporting flexible work models and continuous learning through platforms such as WERise and WELearn. Across the organisation, our colleagues have shown exceptional commitment to our shared purpose.

Looking to the future, we will continue to deliver responsible growth, deepen our international footprint, and lead with technology and purpose. Our ambition remains to shape the future of banking by empowering clients, communities, and our people to thrive in an increasingly connected world. With resilience and purpose, we are well-positioned to navigate the opportunities and complexities of the year ahead.

  • Net Interest Income impacted by 175bps rate since H2 2024, with 50bps rate cut in 4Q’25 alone resulting in 3% yearon-year decline; partially offset by double-digit loan and investments growth with NIM of 3.1% in 2025.

  • Non-Interest Income rose 16%[1] year-on-year in 2025 to D 4.4 billion driven by 53% year-on-year growth in investment income and 30%[1] year-on-year growth in other income; overall contributing 35% of Total Operating Income.

  • Continued double-digit expansion in loans and advances and non-interest income resulted in 3% year-on-year increase in Total Operating Income (excluding one-off) to D 12.6 billion in 2025.

  • We continued to invest significantly in digital platforms, Gen-AI-led initiatives and strategic business expansion, Operating expenses grew by just 5% year-on-year, reflecting cost discipline and the first effects of efficiency gains resulting from increased scalability due to digitalisation.

  • With double-digit growth in loans and investments, Impairment allowances remained low atD 444 million in 2025 (cost of credit of 27bps), driven by strong asset quality, quality underwriting and a benign macroeconomic environment in the key UAE market.

  • Income tax expense of D 1.3 billion in 2025, up by 49% year-on-year, impacted the net profit after tax, which saw a decline of 23% to reach D 7.0 billion (decline of 11% year-on-year, excluding one-off), with a strong ROE of 20%.

  • Total Assets increased 25% year-on-year to reach D 335 billion, driven by 32% increase in loans to customers and 39% increase in the investment portfolio.

  • The growth in the balance sheet is supported by continued momentum across segments - wholesale banking grew by 30% year-on-year to D 190 billion, and the retail banking segment grew by 13% year-on-year to D 36 billion.

  • Customer Deposits increased 27% year-on-year to reach D 205 billion with CASA growth of 20% year-on-year to D 128 billion, with CASA mix of 62%.

  • NPL Ratio remained the lowest in the industry at 1.0%, highlighting the strong quality of the loan book.

  • The Bank maintained strong capital metrics, with a Capital Adequacy Ratio of 14.5%, a CET1 ratio of 12.3% and a Tier 1 ratio of 13.4%, all comfortably well-above regulatory requirements. The reduction in the Capital Adequacy Ratio from 17.5% to 14.5% reflects strong high-double-digit growth in loans and advances during the year.

Looking Ahead

2025 marked a defining year in Mashreq’s evolution, with the Bank delivering strong financial and operational outcomes while advancing its global footprint and reinforcing its institutional standing. This performance was achieved against a complex backdrop of softer interest rates, heightened regulatory requirements and global macro uncertainty, underscoring Mashreq’s ability to execute with discipline, resilience and strategic clarity. Looking to 2026, Mashreq enters the year with clear momentum and a sharpened strategic focus. The Bank is positioned to accelerate innovation-led growth through continued investment in advanced digital platforms, artificial intelligence and data-driven capabilities, strengthening scalability, decisioning and client experience across businesses. Expansion of digital propositions, deeper cross-border connectivity and continued focus on financial inclusion will further enhance Mashreq’s ability to serve clients seamlessly across markets. Mashreq will continue to selectively strengthen its international presence along key UAE- and GCC-linked corridors, reinforcing its role as a globally connected banking partner supporting trade flows, capital mobility and institutional client activity.

Supported by strong capitalisation, healthy efficiency metrics and a diversified revenue base, Mashreq is well positioned to deliver sustained growth and long-term value, while continuing to build a resilient, future-ready institution that remains relevant across economic cycles and evolving client needs.
