Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank has announced a 16% year-on-year increase in its pre-tax profits for the first half of 2025, reaching 4 billion dirhams. This growth reflects a robust balance sheet with a sustained rise in business momentum and an increasing number of customers.
The bank continued its impressive performance in the second quarter of 2025, with pre-tax profits rising by 14% year-on-year to 2 billion dirhams.
The net profit after tax for the first half amounted to 3.5 billion dirhams, representing a 15% increase compared to the same period in 2024, while the second quarter alone contributed a net profit of 1.8 billion dirhams, up by 13% year-on-year.
Revenues for the first half grew by 11%, totaling 5.9 billion dirhams compared to 5.3 billion dirhams in the first half of 2024.
This exceptional growth reflects a broad-based performance across all major sectors, supported by diverse income sources and continuous expansion in business activities, alongside growth in fee-based services.
Income from funding sources rose by 9% year-on-year, reaching 3.6 billion dirhams in the first half of 2025 compared to 3.3 billion dirhams the previous year, bolstered by increased business volume and the bank’s ability to achieve sustainable returns despite declining market profit rates.
The net profit margin stood at 4.27%, comfortably within the target range.
Jouan Awida Suhail Al Khailli, Chairman of the Board, stated, “Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank delivered a strong performance in the second quarter of 2025, pushing half-year profits to new record levels, achieving a return on equity of 30%.
This performance reflects the strong momentum in our business and our capacity to leverage favorable economic conditions in the local economy.

The momentum in attracting customers continued, with 145,000 new clients joining the bank in the first half of this year.”
