ABU DHABI - ADNOC Logistics and Services plc today announced its fourth quarter (Q4) and full-year 2024 financial results, reporting revenue of $3,549 million (AED13,035 million) for the year, up 29 percent compared to 2023.

Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S, said, "We have delivered strong growth in financial returns to shareholders once again in 2024, driven by robust performance across all business segments. This year has been characterised by investing in the internationalisation of our business platform, the addition of new vessel types focused on transition fuels, and the growth of our large integrated logistics business.
"Today ADNOC L&S is a larger, stronger, more international business and one of the leading energy maritime logistics companies in the world. Our growth story continues into 2025 and beyond with more than $6 billion highly value-accretive growth opportunities committed since IPO, mostly against long-term contracts."
Revenues from the Integrated Logistics segment increased to $2,281 million (AED8,377 million), up 40 percent in FY 2023.
The increase was driven by volume growth in the Integrated Logistics Services Platform (ILSP) and strong growth in third-party offshore logistics services; major progression of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects in particular the contribution of the G-Island project; accelerated Hail & Ghasha project delivery; the improved utilisation of, and rates earned for Jack-Up Barges (JUBs), coupled with fleet growth strengthening the GCC expansion.

Revenues from the Shipping segment increased 14 percent to $956 million (AED3,511 million), driven by strong charter rates for Dry Bulk and Tankers in H1 2024, coupled with additional revenue from the four new Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) acquired in 2023; and the LNG vessel "Shahamah" contracted at a higher rate for 2024 compared to 2023; partially offset by a smaller charter-in fleet.
Shipping EBITDA increased 24 percent to $396 million (AED1,456 million) for FY 2024, contributing to a three-percentage point expansion in EBITDA margin to 41 percent.
Revenues from the Services segment increased 10 percent to $312 million (AED1,147 million) compared to FY 2023. This segment generated an EBITDA of $56 million (AED206 million), up 26 percent y-o-y, mainly powered by increased volumes in petroleum ports and onshore terminal operations.

US job growth slows in May; unemployment rate steady
US job growth slowed in May amid headwinds from tariff uncertainty, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 per cent, potentially giving the Federal Reserve cover to delay resuming interest rate cuts for a while. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 139,000 jobs last month after rising by a downwardly revised 147,000 in April, the labour Department's Bureau of labour Statistics said in its closely watched employment report on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 130,000 jobs added after a previously reported 177,000 rise in April. Estimates ranged from 75,000 to 190,000 jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2 per cent for the third straight month. The economy needs to create roughly 100,000 jobs per month to keep up with growth in the working age population. That number could decline as President Donald Trump has revoked the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants amid an immigration crackdown. Much of the job growth this year reflects worker hoarding by businesses amid Trump's flip-flopping on tariffs, which economists say has hampered companies' ability to plan ahead. Opposition to Trump's tax-cut and spending bill from hardline conservative Republicans in the US Senate and billionaire Elon Musk adds another layer of uncertainty for businesses. Employers' reluctance to lay off workers potentially keeps the US central bank on the sidelines until the end of the year. Financial markets expect the Fed will leave its benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged in the 4.25 per cent-4.50 per cent range this month, before resuming policy easing in September. US Treasury yields rose after data on Friday showed that employers added more jobs than economists had expected in May, while average hourly earnings also rose more than was forecast. Employers added 139,000 jobs last month, above estimates for a 130,000 increase. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4 per cent in May, above expectations for a 0.3 per cent increase. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 per cent, as expected. The yield on benchmark US 10-year notes was last up 5.1 basis points on the day at 4.446 per cent. Interest rate sensitive two-year note yields rose 3.8 basis points to 3.962 per cent. US stock index futures extended gains on Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs report calmed worries over the health of the labour market in the wake of President Donald Trump's tariff war. A labour Department report showed nonfarm payrolls increased 139,000 in May, compared with estimates for a rise of 130,000, according to economists polled by Reuters. The unemployment rate stood at 4.2 per cent, in-line with a forecast of 4.2 per cent. At 08:30 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 232 points, or 0.57 per cent, S&P 500 E-minis were up 36.25 points, or 0.63 per cent, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 142.75 points, or 0.66 per cent Meanwhile the dollar was headed for a weekly loss on Friday, undermined by signs of fragility in the US economy and little progress on trade negotiations between Washington and its partners, ahead of a critical jobs report. The US nonfarm payrolls report expected later on will draw greater scrutiny after a slew of weaker-than-expected economic data this week underscored that President Donald Trump's tariffs were taking a toll on the economy. Analysts say the data so far has indicated that the US economy faces a period of increasing price pressures and slowing growth, which could complicate Federal Reserve monetary policy, even as Trump has been critical of the institution's cautious stance. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar edged up to 98.9, and was headed for a weekly loss of 0.5 per cent. The euro was taking a breather after hitting a 1-1/2-month top on Thursday following hawkish remarks from the European Central Bank. It last bought roughly $1.1423, down just 0.18 per cent on the day. Traders have pushed back expectations on the timing of the next rate cut, but continue to anticipate a 25-basis point reduction by year-end. Deutsche Bank's Mark Wall said he still expects 50 basis points worth of ECB rate cuts, adding 'it is still too early to judge the impact of the trade war, and the path of the trade war is in any case still inherently unpredictable.' Reflecting a struggling economy, data showed that German exports and industrial output fell more than expected in April. Most currencies had surged against the dollar late on Thursday, helped by news that Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on a call for more than an hour, before paring some of their gains. Investors remain worried about US trade negotiations and the lack of progress in hashing out deals ahead of an early July deadline. The highly anticipated call between Trump and Xi also provided little clarity and the spotlight on it was quickly stolen by a public fallout between Trump and Elon Musk. Elsewhere, cryptocurrency dogecoin, often supported by Musk, was a touch firmer after falling to a one-month low on Thursday. US equity funds saw outflows for a third straight week through June 4, as concerns lingered over uncertainty surrounding US trade policies, while investors remained cautious ahead of a key jobs report due Friday.

Why Most Businesses Are Still Struggling to Win with AI
AI is everywhere. It's the cornerstone of transformation roadmaps, the centrepiece of boardroom conversations, and increasingly, the north star of enterprise innovation. A recent Qlik study revealed that 86% of senior executives say AI is now central to their organisation's business strategy. Yet, only a small fraction are seeing the meaningful business outcomes they hoped for. A parallel report by Kyndryl paints a similar picture. Despite the enthusiasm, most businesses are still stuck in the early phases of AI maturity. Only 5% of organisations are considered 'AI Pacesetters'— those that successfully use AI at scale and see significant returns. So what's going wrong? The AI Execution Gap Is Real Both reports point to a sobering truth: strategy alone isn't enough. There's a wide and growing gap between AI ambition and AI execution, and it's costing companies time, money, and competitive advantage. 'Organisations clearly recognise that merely investing in AI is insufficient; what matters now is delivering tangible outcomes. Yet, as our research underscores, the road to production AI remains blocked by persistent hurdles—cost, complexity, and data fragmentation,' said Mike Capone, CEO of Qlik. Closing the AI execution gap requires more than aspiration—it demands practical solutions that simplify data integration, ensure governance, and empower better decision-making. This pressure is even more intense with generative AI dominating leadership agendas. The pace of genAI evolution amplifies organisational anxiety and widens the gap between intent and capability. Eric Hanselman, Chief Analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said, 'The fast-evolving GenAI landscape pressures enterprises to move swiftly, sometimes sacrificing caution as they strive to stay competitive. Many are deploying GenAI tools before fully understanding their implications, especially with the surge of SaaS platforms embedding genAI capabilities.' Recent research from S&P, 'The 2025 Thales Data Threat Report' revealed that nearly 70% of organisations consider the fast pace of generative AI development the leading challenge tied to AI adoption, followed by concerns over integrity (64%) and trustworthiness (57%). Enterprises are leveraging AI to accelerate product development, enhance CXs, improve training, speed drug discovery, and optimise operations. However, the rapid adoption of genAI introduces complex challenges that organisations must navigate carefully. The Five Core Blockers Include: 1. Workforce Inertia and Fear Kyndryl found that 71% of leaders believe their workforce isn't ready to adopt AI. 45% say there's active resistance or even fear of job displacement due to AI. 2. Talent and Skills Shortages Over half of the organisations surveyed (51%) admit they lack the necessary AI-skilled talent to scale effectively. Many are not investing fast enough in reskilling or change management. 3. Data Complexity Qlik's report shows most organisations are bogged down by fragmented data systems, legacy infrastructure, and inconsistent governance models. Nearly 80% of respondents say these issues are their biggest barriers to realising AI's full potential. 4. Leadership Disconnects
