Published 2 years ago
Abu Dhabi-based real estate giant Aldar has achieved an extraordinary feat, shattering all previous records with its remarkable financial performance in 2023. The company announced a staggering 40% surge in net profit, reaching an impressive $1.2 billion. This remarkable achievement is fueled by a surge in sales, which skyrocketed by 94% to a record-breaking $7.6 billion.
In a recent statement, Aldar revealed that the fourth quarter of 2023 witnessed the highest-ever quarterly development sales, reaching an unprecedented AED 8.5 billion. The full-year sales reached an astounding AED 27.9 billion, reflecting the company's strategic prowess and market dominance.
The development revenue backlog has also doubled, soaring to AED 36.8 billion. This backlog not only underscores Aldar's current success but also provides a robust income outlook for the next 2-3 years, showcasing the sustainability of its growth.
Aldar's expansion has not been confined to its home territory of Abu Dhabi. The company successfully entered the markets of Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, launching 14 new projects that complement its already dominant position in the emirate. This geographic diversification is a testament to Aldar's commitment to exploring new opportunities and markets.
End-users and investors have flocked to Aldar, with overseas and resident expat buyers accounting for a significant 66% (AED 16 billion) of UAE sales. This indicates the trust and confidence that the global community places in Aldar's projects and the stability of the UAE real estate market.
Aldar Investment, a key arm of the company, reported a remarkable 40% revenue growth. This growth is attributed to recent acquisitions, active asset management, and strong operational performance across the business, according to the official statement.
Mohamed Kkalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Aldar, emphasized the role of the thriving UAE economy in providing conducive conditions for the real estate market. He stated, “Leveraging its unique platform, Aldar accelerated its transformative growth trajectory in 2023 to deliver remarkable earnings growth."
Talal AL Dhiyebi, Group CEO, highlighted Aldar's transformation into a world-class industry heavyweight. Over the past five years, the company has exhibited significant growth, with development sales in 2023 surging tenfold compared to 2018. The gross asset value of Aldar's investment property portfolio grew by over fifty percent, and net profit more than doubled, reaching AED 4.4 billion.
Dhiyebi expressed confidence in Aldar's future prospects, stating, “The strength, agility, and scale of our platform will allow Aldar to capitalize on new opportunities to continue driving long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value.”
Aldar's stellar performance in 2023 not only showcases its financial prowess but also solidifies its position as a key player in the real estate sector, contributing significantly to the dynamic socio-economic development of the UAE. As the company capitalizes on emerging trends and the transition to a net-zero economy, the outlook for Aldar remains promising, promising continued growth and success in the coming years.
