Abu Dhabi, December 17 / WAM / Borouge PLC announced its inclusion in the FTSE Abu Dhabi Market Highest Dividend Index, which was launched by the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in December 2025.

The FTSE Abu Dhabi Market is the region’s first income-focused index, highlighting companies with a consistent and sustainable record of paying dividends.

The index includes 17 listed companies that together accounted for more than 70% of the total cash dividends paid by companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Market during the year 2025, which enhances its importance as a standard for investors who focus on long-term income.

Borouge’s listing reflects its distinguished capabilities in generating sustainable cash flows across commodity cycles, supported by a world-class production platform and continued demand for its products in its key markets in Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.

These foundations enhance Borouge’s ability to achieve stable profits across various economic cycles, and to maintain attractive and well-defined dividends.

Hazim Sultan Al Suwaidi, CEO of Borouge, said that Borouge’s inclusion in the FTSE Abu Dhabi Market Highest Dividend Index contributes to strengthening its position as one of the leading companies in the region in the field of stocks in terms of returns, and highlights the strength and flexibility of its business model. By focusing on operational excellence, efficiency in capital management, and enhancing long-term value, the company can provide stable and reliable returns to shareholders.

Borouge reiterated its intention to distribute dividends for the fiscal year 2025, at a value of 16.2 fils per share, which Borouge International Group is expected to maintain, upon its launch, until at least 2030, subject to obtaining the necessary approvals. The proposed framework includes the possibility of increasing the target dividend distribution rate to 90% of net profits.

With industry-leading EBITDA margins, a strong balance sheet and a clear long-term strategy, Borouge remains well positioned to deliver stable, long-term returns to shareholders.
