98% compliance rate of listed companies in disclosing financial statements for 2025

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group announced that it has achieved a compliance rate of 98% with the disclosure of its annual financial statements for the year 2025, an achievement that reflects an institutional approach based on the highest standards of integrity and transparency, and enhances investors’ confidence in the robustness and efficiency of the market system.
This was directly reflected in the strong performance of listed companies, as total net profits increased by 17% year-on-year to exceed 200 billion dirhams.

99 companies out of 101 listed and traded companies announced their audited financial results within the legal time frame of 90 days, a clear indication of a high level of commitment and discipline in disclosure. These numbers do not include two companies that differ in their financial cycles, as one of them met the disclosure requirements for the end of June, while the disclosure date for the other company, whose fiscal year ends in March, is still not due yet.

Abdullah Salem Al Nuaimi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group, said that the high levels of compliance and growth in net profits reflect the strength and durability of companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange, and their commitment to establishing the highest standards of corporate governance.

He stressed the continued work of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group to develop an efficient, flexible and liquid capital market, supported by a diverse base of investors, strong institutional participation, and advanced regulatory frameworks that enhance investor confidence and consolidate the attractiveness of the market.

He added: “We will move forward in supporting the process of economic growth, enhancing the competitiveness of Abu Dhabi and the UAE, and consolidating their position as a leading global financial center.”

In 2025, companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Market distributed cash dividends amounting to about 74 billion dirhams to their shareholders and investors, in a clear indication of the strength of their performance and the sustainability of their returns.

This continued commitment to the highest standards of governance enhances the market’s efforts to attract and retain global capital and qualitative expertise to Abu Dhabi, and consolidate its position as a leading financial center to attract investments worldwide.
