The company also reported an industry-leading ebitda margin of 41%, further cementing its reputation as one of the most efficient and profitable players in the petrochemicals sector.
Shareholders of Borouge are expected to approve an AED2.4 billion ($650 million) cash dividend for the second half of 2024 at the company's upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on April 7.
This final payment will bring Borouge's total dividends for the year to AED4.8 billion ($1.3 billion), reinforcing its position as an attractive investment opportunity in the region.
Investors seeking eligibility for the final dividend must hold Borouge shares by April 15, with payments set for distribution on April 28.

Beyond its strong dividend profile, Borouge's growth trajectory is poised to accelerate following the recently announced merger of Borouge and OMV's Borealis to create Borouge Group International and the acquisition of Nova OVA Chemicals.
This consolidation will create the world's fourth-largest polyolefins company, valued at AED220+ billion ($60 billion), significantly enhancing Borouge's global profile.
The newly formed Borouge Group International is expected to benefit from a higher dividend payout, expanded market access, advanced technological capabilities, and complementary product lines.
With commercial and manufacturing operations spanning North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, Borouge Group International presence in the global petrochemicals industry is set to strengthen, offering further opportunities for growth and value creation.
