Dubai | EcoPulse24

ALEC Holding's financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, mark a significant turnaround for the group after its listing on the Dubai Financial Market. The company achieved strong profitability and notable business expansion, driven by robust project execution and improved operating margins. This performance positions ALEC Holding as a leader in the engineering and construction sector at a time of high demand for major infrastructure projects in the local and regional markets.

Net profit reached AED 687 million in 2025, an 89% increase over the previous year, marking the company's first full annual results since its October 2025 listing. This growth reflects balanced improvements in both revenues and margins, as well as more efficient financial management amid expanding operations.

The board approved cash dividends of AED 250 million to be paid in April 2026, an increase of AED 50 million over the previously announced payout. This brings total dividends for 2025 to AED 335 million, including AED 85 million paid in August 2025. The company also announced plans to distribute AED 500 million for the 2026 financial year, to be paid in two tranches in October 2026 and April 2027, in line with its policy of distributing at least 50% of net profits.

Operationally, EBITDA rose to AED 1.106 billion in 2025, up 76% year-on-year, with the profit margin expanding to 8.8% from 7.8%. This improvement reflects higher cost management efficiency and improved project portfolio quality.

Annual revenues reached AED 12.604 billion, a 56% increase, driven by strong execution across the group's sectors and benefiting from robust demand in the construction market.

In Q4 2025, net profit was AED 256 million (up 57% year-on-year), EBITDA reached AED 400 million (up 65%), and quarterly revenues stood at AED 3.698 billion. Net profit margin improved to 6.9%, and operating margin to 10.8%, underscoring accelerating performance toward year-end.

Total assets amounted to AED 10.6 billion at the end of 2025, compared to AED 7.7 billion at the end of 2024. Cash and bank balances reached AED 1.6 billion, while total loans and lease liabilities declined to AED 937 million, resulting in a net cash position of AED 637 million - granting ALEC significant financial flexibility for future growth.

EcoPulse24 Analysis:
ALEC Holding's post-listing results reflect a growth model combining rapid expansion with financial discipline. The leap in profits and revenues indicates the company entered the market at an opportune time, benefiting from a strong construction cycle in the UAE and the region. A positive net cash position enables ALEC to finance new projects without debt pressure, while generous dividend policies enhance its appeal to yield-seeking investors. Economically, the performance highlights the direct benefit that major construction firms derive from capital expenditure and infrastructure investment, with the main challenge remaining the preservation of margins amid larger project volumes and fluctuating execution costs.
