ADCB Posts Record Nine‑Month Profit and Rapid Balance‑Sheet Growth

The chief executive said the results show the bank’s strategy is working as fee and trading income broaden revenue and strengthen returns.

Overview

  • The bank reported a nine‑month profit before tax of AED 11.67 billion and net profit after tax of AED 10.296 billion, up 27% year‑on‑year.
  • Q3 net profit was AED 3.559 billion, a 15% increase from the same quarter last year and part of continued quarterly earnings momentum.
  • Net customer loans rose by AED 66 billion year‑to‑date with a AED 24 billion increase in Q3, while customer deposits grew by AED 58 billion YTD including AED 32 billion in Q3.
  • Total assets expanded to AED 890 billion, a 20% year‑on‑year rise, and non‑interest income climbed 21% to represent 38% of operating income.
  • Management said the mix shift toward fee and trading revenue should improve earnings quality and funding stability, which could support higher returns to shareholders and more lending over time.
