Group net revenue grew 3.3% year-on-year to AED 1.3 billion; EBITDA increased 4.1% to AED 193.3 million; and net profit rose 12.5% to AED 96.9 million. This performance was driven by robust execution across key business segments, improved margins, and continued operational improvements. The quarter’s results stem from strong execution in core divisions, the ongoing progress of transformation projects, and the Group’s ability to respond swiftly to an increasingly complex operating environment.
Khalifa Sultan Al Suwaidi, Chairman of Agthia, said: “The first quarter once again underscores the importance of resilience, discipline, and a long-term vision in navigating an increasingly complex operating environment. Agthia’s performance reflects the Group’s solid fundamentals, its vital role in supporting the broader food security agenda, and its unwavering focus on executing strategic priorities.”
Salmeen Alameri, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Agthia Group, added: “The first-quarter results demonstrate disciplined execution across the Group’s business segments, the overall strength of our diversified portfolio, and the full commitment of our teams. Amid a complex regional landscape, we have responded flexibly, maintained uninterrupted supply, and advanced our operations with focus and stability. At the same time, the transformation initiatives the Group is driving are beginning to translate more visibly into performance outcomes, helping to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen margin performance, and build a more resilient earnings structure. We remain firmly focused on our long-term priorities and are confident that Agthia will continue to solidify its position as a leading food and beverage company.”
The Water & Food segment remained a key growth driver in the quarter, supported by strong performance in UAE bottled water and Home & Office services. The Protein & Frozen Food segment also showed encouraging progress, as transformation efforts continued and capacity expansion at the Group’s protein processing plant in Saudi Arabia accelerated, with Phase 2 now operational and adding capacity. The Agribusiness segment further supported overall Group performance, delivering solid underlying results while participating in UAE food security-related projects.
