Arabian Business6 hours ago
Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund managing a global portfolio, is making a significant reinvestment in PCI Pharma Services (PCI).
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, PCI provides clients with integrated end-to-end drug development, manufacturing and packaging capabilities that increase their products' speed to market and opportunities for commercial success. PCI has over 450 successful product launches over the last five years and has over 50 years of experience in pharmaceutical services, helping bring to life innovation to improve patient access and outcomes.

The strategic investment also included Bain Capital as a new investor, as well as existing lead investor Kohlberg, who hold majority stakes in PCI along with Mubadala. Partners Group will also continue to support PCI with a minority investment.
This investment marks Mubadala's continued support of PCI, following its initial investment alongside Kohlberg in 2020. Financial details of the private transaction were not disclosed, but the deal values PCI at US$10 billion, including debt, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Camilla Languille, co-CEO of Private Equity at Mubadala, commented: 'PCI Pharma Services has been one of our top-performing healthcare investments and is a testament to what can be achieved when long-term active investors partner with strong management teams to catalyse growth, create value, and deliver better patient outcomes worldwide.
'Our team will continue to focus on similar opportunities in the healthcare space as the sustained outsourcing of mission-critical but non-core activities by pharma companies aligns with our commitment to address global unmet clinical needs, reduce the cost of care to the system, and enable greater access.'
The new capital will enable PCI to focus on both organic and inorganic growth initiatives, including expanding its suite of services and geographic reach. Leveraging global growth trends in biologics and specialised drug therapies, PCI's future investments will include expansion of existing sterile fill-finish of injectables and high potent and specialised manufacturing capacity.
The strategic investment will also enable PCI's significant continued investment in the US, bolstering the nation's critical pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure.
Mina Hamoodi, Head of Healthcare at Mubadala, added: 'Our reinvestment in PCI reflects our deep conviction in the company's mission, leadership, and long-term potential.
'At this important juncture, we are delighted to welcome Bain Capital, an industry-leading healthcare investor with deep expertise in growing pharma services businesses, as a partner. We look forward to partnering with Bain and Kohlberg, and working closely with PCI's outstanding management team, as the company enters its next chapter of accelerated growth.'
Salim Haffar, Chief Executive Officer, PCI, said: 'PCI has embarked on a purposeful journey to transform itself into a global CDMO by executing its successful growth strategy, providing industry-leading customer experience, and offering innovative and integrated supply chain solutions.
'I am grateful for the ongoing support of our existing investors and enthusiastically welcome Bain Capital and their deep, global healthcare and life science capabilities and expertise. Together we will grow PCI's commercial, clinical trial services, and development and manufacturing businesses to meet the future demands of our biopharmaceutical customers.'

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank first half net profit grows 18% to hit Dh5.9b

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) on Tuesday reported a pre-tax profit of Dh5.94 billion for the first six months of 2025, up 18 per cent year-on-year, as the bank's strategic initiatives, digital transformation, and diversified income streams propelled strong growth across key metrics. Net profit after tax stood at Dh5.01 billion despite a higher tax provision under the UAE's new 15 per cent corporate tax regime. In the second quarter alone, ADCB posted a pre-tax profit of Dh3.03 billion, marking a 17 per cent year-on-year increase, while net profit after tax reached Dh2.57 billion. Operating income for Q2 rose by 22 per cent to Dh5.73 billion, supported by a surge in both interest and non-interest revenues. The bank's cost-to-income ratio fell to a record low of 26.4 per cent in Q2, reflecting a 620-basis-point improvement from a year earlier. Ala'a Eraiqat, group chief executive officer of ADCB, attributed the strong results to consistent execution of the bank's five-year strategy and favourable domestic macroeconomic conditions. 'ADCB is delivering strong and consistent progress on its strategic agenda. We have now achieved four years of consecutive quarterly profit growth. Our performance in the first half of 2025 reflects an exceptional operational and financial outcome across all our core businesses,' he said in a statement. 'Our double-digit revenue growth has been driven by robust credit expansion, continued customer acquisition, and a significant rise in non-interest income, which now accounts for 34 per cent of total operating income. This growth has been underpinned by disciplined cost control and operational efficiencies, especially from our ongoing digital and AI transformation,' Eraiqat added. The bank's net interest income rose seven per cent year-on-year in H1 2025 to Dh7.05 billion, while non-interest income soared 36 per cent to Dh3.69 billion. Operating profit before impairments increased 22 per cent to Dh7.77 billion in the first half, supported by strong growth in trading income and fee-based businesses. Deepak Khullar, group chief financial officer, highlighted ADCB's resilient balance sheet growth and strong asset quality. 'Net loans increased by Dh28 billion to reach Dh378 billion, up 8 per cent year-to-date and 14 per cent year-on-year. Deposits grew by Dh42 billion to Dh463 billion, with CASA deposits rising by Dh21 billion to Dh207 billion and now representing 45 per cent of total deposits,' Khullar said. 'Credit quality has improved significantly, with our non-performing loan (NPL) ratio reducing to 2.02 per cent from 3.04 per cent at the end of last year. Provision coverage has strengthened to 173.1 per cent, and including collateral, total coverage stands at 279 per cent,' he added. Total assets reached Dh719 billion, up 17 per cent year-on-year and 10 per cent since the start of 2025. Capital adequacy and CET1 ratios remained strong at 15.53 per cent and 12.21 per cent, respectively. Liquidity coverage ratio stood at 135.2 per cent, and the loan-to-deposit ratio was at a healthy 81.7 per cent. The bank's Retail Banking division saw significant momentum, adding over 68,000 new customers in Q2, the majority through digital channels. CASA deposits in retail rose 25 per cent year-on-year, and assets under management increased 35 per cent, driven by new investment products and personalised AI-powered offerings. The Corporate and Investment Banking Group (CIBG) also posted a strong quarter, onboarding over 125 new large corporate and GRE clients and establishing over 2,200 new SME and mid-sized corporate relationships. The group played a key role in regional capital markets, acting as joint lead manager on major sukuk issuances for DP World, ADNOC, and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The bank also continues to innovate in financial services. In Q2, ADCB launched Meedaf, an ADGM-licensed entity providing operational services to financial institutions, and partnered with Brink's to elevate cash and ATM managed services. ADCB was among the first banks certified to participate in the UAE Central Bank's Al Tareq Open Finance platform, completing the country's first transaction under the initiative. In Egypt, ADCB's operations remained strong, with net profit rising 39 per cent year-on-year, supported by healthy loan growth. Al Hilal Bank, the group's Islamic banking arm, continued advancing its digital-first strategy, recording increased product uptake and deposit inflows. Eraiqat reaffirmed the bank's commitment to long-term value creation. 'ADCB's 12-month shareholder return of 75 per cent reflects growing investor confidence, and our market capitalisation has now crossed the Dh100 billion mark. We remain focused on sustainable growth, prudent capital deployment, and supporting the UAE.
