Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO commented:

“Our third-quarter performance reinforces the strong trajectory established in the first half of the year. We continue to deliver consistent results across our key segments, with solid business fundamentals and commercial success driving robust year-on-year subscriber growth and a steady 7.9% increase in revenues. Profitability remained strong, with an EBITDA margin of 47.8%, representing a normalized expansion of 3.7 percentage points year-on-year, while net profit grew by 25.8% on a normalized basis. These achievements underscore the effectiveness of our disciplined execution and our focus on value-accretive growth, fully supporting the full-year guidance we have reaffirmed. The successful completion of our secondary public offering strengthens du’s market profile by increasing free float and diversifying our investor base, with increased liquidity positioning us for potential index inclusion. The strong demand highlights investor confidence in our growth trajectory, operational excellence, and focus on long-term shareholder value creation. We are progressing with determination on our strategic priorities — reinforcing growth in our core connectivity business while rapidly scaling our high-potential beyond-the core segments. The success of our Envision flagship Tech event, the recent launch of the AI Park and the AI supercluster exemplify our commitment to leadership in sovereign AI and our focus on sustainable diversification.”
