Emaar Properties achieved record profits in 2025, significantly exceeding analysts’ expectations and posting growth of more than 30% compared to 2024. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached over AED 17.5 billion, outperforming forecasts of AED 15.9 billion by approximately 11%.
The report explained that this exceptional performance was supported by the company’s strong revenues over the past year, which grew by around 40%, bringing total revenues close to AED 50 billion in 2025. However, the gross profit margin saw a slight decline to 55%, compared to 57% in 2024, due to higher operating costs and expenses.
In terms of revenue distribution, the real estate development sector within the UAE accounted for the largest share, representing 80% of total revenues. The leasing and retail segment contributed 15%, while the hospitality sector made up roughly 5%.
Regarding revenues from subsidiaries and international operations, Emaar Development, which specializes in real estate development within the UAE, recorded revenues of AED 27.5 billion, reflecting a 44% increase.
This growth was attributed to strong activity in the local property purchasing market, supported by rising interest from foreign investors and high-net-worth individuals. Meanwhile, Emaar India reported a notable 42% rise in revenues, reaching AED 1 billion.
As for costs and the value of executed projects, the company’s total sales reached AED 37.3 billion, while operating expenses amounted to approximately AED 19 billion. This resulted in a gross profit of AED 18.3 billion, with a profit margin of 49%, signaling a positive indicator of the company’s financial performance.
The report concluded by noting that 2025 marked a significant leap in Emaar Properties’ business, largely driven by the recovery of the UAE’s real estate development sector and increased demand from foreign investors. These figures clearly reflect the strength and attractiveness of the UAE real estate market at both the regional and international levels.
