Adnoc Gas shareholders approve record $3.41 billion dividend for 2024
Adnoc Gas plc and its subsidiaries on shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to distribute $3.41 billion in full-year dividends for 2024, including a final dividend payment of $1.706 billion scheduled for distribution in the second quarter of 2025.
Adnoc Gas delivered strong financial results in 2024 reporting record adjusted net income of $5 billion, up an impressive 13 per cent year-on-year, and strong Ebitda growth of 14 per cent year-on-year to $8.65 billion, with a high, stable Ebitda margin of 35 per cent with free cash flow of $4.58 billion.
Adnoc Gas' strategic update, unveiled in November 2024, outlined investments of $15 billion in growth opportunities designed to meet the escalating global demand for natural gas and drive a projected 40 per cent increase in Ebitda by 2029 from a 2023 baseline. This will be achieved through an expected 30 per cent increase in the company's gas processing capacity as Adnoc expands its upstream production capacity.
The AGM follows the completion of Adnoc's recent marketed offering of 3.1 billion shares in Adnoc Gas – the largest share placement ever on the ADX and the largest secondary offering in the UAE at $2.84 billion. As a result of the completed offering, Adnoc Gas has expanded its shareholder base and anticipates potential inclusion in the MSCI and FTSE indices as early as this year.
Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Chairman of Adnoc Gas' Board of Directors, commented: 'In 2024, we achieved record financial results, advanced major growth projects and declared the largest dividend payment on the ADX, while continuing to capitalize on robust market fundamentals to deliver a total return to shareholders of 19 per cent. As the world increasingly turns to natural gas and LNG, particularly in Asia, we further strengthened our position as a critical enabler of global energy security and a key contributor to the UAE's economic growth and industrial development. Adnoc Gas remains uniquely positioned to unlock further growth while supporting the transformation of global energy systems.'

Stocks slip, dollar droops as trade, geopolitical tensions weigh
SINGAPORE: Global stocks and the dollar slipped on Thursday as investors sized up a benign U.S. inflation report and the fragile trade truce between Washington and Beijing, while rising tensions in the Middle East and lingering tariff anxiety dented risk sentiment. Attention in financial markets this week has been on the U.S.-China trade talks which culminated in a framework agreement that would remove Chinese export restrictions on rare earth minerals and allow Chinese students access to U.S. universities. "We made a great deal with China. We're very happy with it," said U.S. President Donald Trump. Markets though were guarded in their response, awaiting fuller, concrete details of the agreement and remained wary of another flare up. Trump also said the U.S. would send out letters in one to two weeks outlining the terms of trade deals to dozens of other countries, which they could embrace or reject, adding yet another dose of uncertainty in the markets. "The U.S. China deal really just leaves the tariffs in place after they've been cut back following the Geneva meeting, so it doesn't really change things," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital. "Ultimately the trade tension is yet to be resolved between the U.S. and China." MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 0.3% lower in early trading after hitting a three year-high on Wednesday. Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.7%, while U.S. and European stock futures fell. China's blue-chip stock index fell 0.37%, moving off the near three-week top it touched in the previous session. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was down 0.74%, also inching away from Wednesday's three-month high. Trump's erratic tariff policies have roiled global markets this year, prompting hordes of investors to exit U.S. assets, especially the dollar, as they worried about rising prices and slowing economic growth. The euro, one of the beneficiaries of the dollar's decline, rose to a seven-week high and was last at $1.1512. The Japanese yen was 0.4% firmer at 144.03 per dollar. That pushed the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other key rivals, to its lowest level since April 22. The index is down 9% this year. Data on Wednesday showed U.S. consumer prices increased less than expected in May as cheaper gasoline partially offset higher rents, but inflation is expected to accelerate in the coming months on the back of the Trump administration's import tariffs. The soft inflation report led Trump to renew his call for the Federal Reserve to push through a major rate cut. The president has been pressing for rate cuts for some time even as Fed officials have shrugged off his comments. Traders are pricing in a 70% chance of a quarter-point reduction in the Fed policy rate by September. Policymakers are widely expected to keep rates unchanged next week. AMP's Oliver said the higher prices will flow through either in the form of higher inflation or lower profit margins. "I suspect it's probably going to be a combination of the two. Therefore it makes sense for the Fed to wait and see what happens rather than rushing into a rate cut." In commodities, oil prices were pinned at two-month highs, close to $70 a barrel, on worries of supply disruptions in the Middle East after Iran said it will strike U.S. bases in the region if nuclear talks fail and conflict arises with Washington. Gold prices also got a boost from safe-haven flows, with spot gold up 0.5% at $3,370.29.
