NMDC Energy revenues surge 75% year on year to Dh3.7 billion
NMDC Energy on Tuesday reported 25 per cent year-on-year increase in net profit for the quarter, from Dh174 million in Q1 2024 to Dh217 million in Q1 2025; driven by strong operational performance and expansion into new projects both locally and internationally.
Revenues climbed to Dh3.7 billion, up 75 per cent year-on-year from the corresponding period of 2024. Earnings per share rose 25 per cent to Dh0.04, and total assets stood at Dh16.3 billion at the end of March 2025. Total projects awarded during Q1 2025 amounted to Dh13.9 billion. Furthermore, by the end of the quarter, NMDC Energy's backlog stood at Dh56.3 billion, with a healthy pipeline of projects.
During Q1'25, NMDC Energy was successfully qualified and included in MSCI small cap Index (the global provider of equity, fixed income, real estate indices) during their rebalancing event in February 2025; thus resulting in passive funds flow during the period. The inclusion comes post NMDC Energy's listing in September 2024.
The first quarter of the year followed a similar growth trajectory as 2024 with NMDC Energy marking several strategic milestones. NMDC Energy inaugurated 400,000 sqm state-of-the-art yard, part of the Ras Al Khair Special Economic Zone, in Saudi Arabia. Going further, NMDC Energy signed a three-year extension for its Long-Term Agreement 'LTA' with Aramco, representing another accomplishment in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the Company was also awarded a prestigious EPC contract by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) for pipeline installation for the Tung-Hsiao Power Plant.
Mohamed Hamad Almehairi, Chairman of NMDC Energy, said: 'NMDC Energy delivered the best possible start to 2025, strongly following our landmark performance in 2024 to reinforce our leadership position in the regional energy sector. We've made solid advances across our dynamic business by adding to our healthy pipeline and in deepening our international footprint. At the heart of these activities, our business has continued to play a deep facilitating role in powering economies and in driving forward national ambitions. In parallel, we've also worked collaboratively with our partners in areas such sustainability, job creation, and health and safety, to ensure that we remain a force for good whenever and wherever we operate.'
Eng. Ahmed Salem Al Dhaheri, CEO of NMDC Energy, said: 'We are delighted to hit the ground running in 2025, picking up where we left off in 2024, by delivering strong financial performance. While we continue to cement our local execution capabilities, this quarter was marked by strategic milestones on the international front with the inauguration of our advanced yard in Saudi Arabia as well as our deepening presence in East Asia. Our results this quarter reflect years of razor-sharp decision making as well as our bold ambition for the sectors that we operate in. We've also worked hard to place cutting-edge technologies, innovation, and enhanced efficiency, at the forefront of our business. As look ahead, we foresee that the momentum we've created this quarter as well as our success in recent years will pave the way for us to unlock future growth and value creation both nationally and globally.'
International expansion
NMDC inaugurated an advanced fabrication yard in Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia. The 400,000 sqm state-of-the-art yard, part of the Ras Al Khair Special Economic Zone, boasts a production capacity of 40,000 tonnes per year and will provide offshore facilities fabrication as well as onshore modularisation. The company invested Dh200 million into its Ras Al Khair yard to provide productive, safe and environmentally sound facilities, and it will embed the latest technologies to deliver efficiencies and reduce environmental impact.
NMDC Energy has also signed a three-year extension for its Long-Term Agreement 'LTA' with Aramco representing another milestone in the company's recent strategic growth activities in Saudi Arabia. The services provided by NMDC Energy under the LTA cover detailed engineering, material procurement, fabrication, transportation, installation, and pre-commissioning of offshore facilities in connection with projects to be executed within Saudi Arabian territorial waters. In 2016, NMDC Energy signed a previous LTA with Aramco, resulting in NMDC Energy's involvement in multiple projects worth billions of dollars.
NMDC Energy maintained its leadership role in driving key projects, accelerating innovation and achieving significant progress that underscores its commitment to excellence. The company was awarded a prestigious EPC contract by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) for subsea pipeline installation for the Tung-Hsiao Power Plant 2nd Stage Renewal Project. The $1.14 billion project involves the design, construction and installation of 111 kilometres of linear subsea pipeline at depths ranging from 10 metres to 55 metres, stretching between Taichung and Tung-Hsiao on Taiwan's west coast.
As a catalyst of the energy future, NMDC Energy recognizes the near and intermediate steps necessary to ensure that the sector can move in tandem with the realities of the world. The company is committed to forging key partnerships and in partaking in landmark projects in the UAE and beyond, to continue setting the pace and make swift forward steps for the world's energy industry.

Saudi Arabia expected to issue $12.6bln in bonds until year-end, JPM says
Saudi Arabia is expected to issue $12.6 billion in bonds for the remainder of the year, JPMorgan said on Tuesday, as the kingdom resorts to the debt markets amid huge investments to overhaul its economy and lower oil prices. The Gulf country, which forecasts a budget deficit of $26.93 billion this year, is seeking funds to invest in new industries and wean its economy away from oil under its Vision 2030 plan, investing in sectors such as tourism, manufacturing and technology. Reuters reported in April that Saudi Arabia, with its wealth linked inextricably to oil revenue, faces mounting pressure to raise debt or cut spending after a plunge in crude prices. The kingdom enjoys a low debt-to-GDP ratio and confidence from lenders, and was among the largest emerging market debt issuers in 2024. It has already issued $14.4 billion so far this year, JPM said in a research note, the largest emerging market issuer in the first five months of 2025, braving market volatility ignited by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. "An uncertain global macro environment and higher borrowing costs have remained deterrents for new issue activity over the past three months" out of emerging markets, JPM said. The bank said that "supply activity could pick up in June, provided market conditions remain stable," warning, however, that volatility remained a key risk. Companies in Saudi Arabia, including state oil giant Aramco and sovereign wealth fund PIF, have also been tapping the debt markets. Saudi Aramco last week raised $5 billion from bonds and published a new prospectus for Islamic bonds, signalling a new issuance could be on the horizon. JPM said on Tuesday that other emerging markets countries with "the largest issuance expectations from now until year-end" included neighbouring Kuwait, forecasting $8 billion in debt issuance by year-end. The small Gulf state, also the Middle East's fourth-largest oil producer, earlier this year issued a long-awaited law to regulate public borrowing as the country prepares for a return to international debt markets after eight years.
