ICD announced today its consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 December 2021 having generated Revenues of AED 169.4 Billion and reported a Net Profit of AED 10.1 Billion, a significant turnaround from last year as business recovery accelerated.

Revenues were AED 169.4 Billion, up 24.5 per cent compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by rallying commodities prices in Oil & Gas, higher levels of activity in Transportation, and strong momentum in the Other segment as global travel restrictions gradually eased. Expo 2020 Dubai also acted as a catalyst for the recovery.

The Group reported a Net Profit of AED 10.1 Billion reflecting a large positive swing in profitability, with improvements across all segments, helped primarily by revenue growth, rigorous cost discipline, and lower impairments in the Banking, Real Estate, and Hospitality sectors. Aluminium production operations also contributed materially to these results.

The Net Profit attributable to the equity holder was AED 5.5 Billion.

The balance-sheet remained above AED 1 Trillion, with Assets and Liabilities down 1 per cent respectively to AED 1,101.1 Billion and AED 862.7 Billion, primarily due to lower Banking balances offsetting the growth of non-Banking operational balances, and a cautious approach to CapEx deployment.

The Group’s share of Equity decreased by 1 per cent to AED 190.6 Billion.

H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, Managing Director, Trident Finance Ltd, commented: “In 2021, the ICD Group saw the overall level of activity of its businesses increase materially and profitability bounce back. Whilst good progress was made during the earlier part of the year despite the virus variant disruptions, the second part of the year saw a much stronger recovery helped by the easing of global travel restrictions and the positive impact of the hosting of Expo 2020 Dubai.

Our portfolio companies reaped the benefits of the steps taken earlier during the pandemic to protect their businesses, adapt their models, and enhance cost-effectiveness. The proactive measures taken by the UAE government and the leadership of Dubai to manage the effects of the pandemic contributed meaningfully to Dubai’s strong economic rebound and in making Dubai an even more attractive place to live and work.

Our balance-sheet stayed resilient despite the significant volatility of the global economy. We are proud to see the progress made by our organisation in terms of recovery and are confident that the Group is well-positioned to benefit further from new opportunities.”

ICD announced today its consolidated financial results for the six month period ended 30 June 2021 having generated Revenues of AED 75.2 Billion and recognised a Net profit of AED 1.4 Billion, achieving significantly stronger performance than the first half of last year despite the uneven global economic recovery.

Revenues were AED 75.2 Billion, 2 per cent higher compared to the prior year period, with a material increase in Oil & Gas operations and good momentum in the Other segment, together exceeding the drop seen in Transportation and Banking & Financial Services.

The Group reported a Net Profit of AED 1.4 Billion, a significant turnaround from last year, with improvement across all segments supported by higher levels of activity in some key sectors, an overall strong cost discipline and lower impairment charges. The majority of the Group’s profit came from Banking & Financial Services, Oil & Gas, and aluminium production. Transportation reduced its losses despite ongoing COVID-19 travel restrictions.

The results attributable to the equity holder were a Net Loss of AED 0.9 Billion.

Assets were AED 1,108.0 Billion and Liabilities AED 874.8 Billion, essentially flat compared to year-end 2020. The Group’s share of Equity decreased by 3.7 per cent to AED 185.5 Billion.

H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, Managing Director, Trident Finance Ltd, commented: “Focused on our objectives, the ICD Group produced a much better performance than last year despite the slow lifting of global travel restrictions impacting some of our key activities. We made significant progress on our return to profitability, reaping the benefits of efficient cost management, and rallying commodity prices and financial markets. The recovery was also assisted by the continued support from the Government to businesses. As economies gradually re-open and business sentiment improves, we are confident that the ICD Group is well positioned to benefit from the more favourable economic environment.”

ICD announced today its consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 December 2020 having generated Revenues of AED 136.1 Billion and reported a Net loss of AED 15.5 Billion as the Covid-19 global crisis significantly affected its operations.

Revenues were AED 136.1 Billion, a 40.3 per cent decrease from the prior year, with material drops in Transportation and Oil & Gas revenues, and flat income in Banking and Financial Services (helped by a full year contribution from DenizBank A. Ş . as part of EmiratesNBD).

The Group reported a Net Loss for the year of AED 15.5 Billion, with losses primarily from Transportation, and to a lesser extent, Hospitality activities, and profits mostly coming from resilient Banking and Financial Services operations.

The pandemic restrictions imposed across the globe affected all travel, hospitality, retail and real estate activities to various degrees and contributed to a material decline in the price and demand for oil.

The Net Loss attributable to the equity holder was AED 18.9 Billion.

Assets were down 1.0 per cent from the year-end 2019 to AED 1,110.6 Billion, whilst Liabilities were essentially flat at AED 869.3 Billion. The Group’s share of Equity decreased by 5.9 per cent to AED 192.6 Billion. “Despite the severe effect of the pandemic on the Group’s revenue and profitability, ICD was able to secure a solid Balance-Sheet, sustainable operations and financial stability in 2020 owing to proactive steps taken by the Group. From the outset and as the pandemic raged on, the Group focused on preserving the continuity of its businesses and safe operations for their employees and customers. As the global crisis continued, the Group entities regularly reviewed the adequacy of their plans, reducing costs and adapting their model, said H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, Managing Director, Trident Finance Ltd. “Several of the Group entities benefited from the timely decisions taken by our Shareholder, the Government of Dubai in response to the pandemic and our businesses are today strongly positioned to seize the opportunities presented by global economic activities now gaining momentum with the international vaccine roll-out,” continued H.E. Al Shaibani.

ICD today announced its consolidated financial results for the six month period ended 30 June 2020 having generated Revenues of AED 73.7 Billion and recognised a Net loss of AED 9.4 Billion as the Covid-19 global crisis significantly affected its operations.

Revenues were AED 73.7 Billion, a 31 per cent decrease compared to the prior year period, with material drops in Transportation and Oil & Gas revenues partially offset by higher income in Banking and Financial Services including DenizBank A.S., the bank acquired by EmiratesNBD in the second half of 2019.

The Group reported a Net Loss of AED 9.4 Billion, with the majority of the losses coming from the Transportation segment, and to a lesser extent, hospitality activities in the Other segment, offset by a resilient profit contribution from Banking and Financial Services. The pandemic related restrictions imposed by governments across the globe to fight the virus spread affected all travel, hospitality, retail and real estate activities to various degrees. It also reduced the demand for oil products and depressed prices further over the period.
The Net Loss attributable to the equity holder was AED 11.4 Billion.

Assets were down 1 per cent from the year end 2019 to AED 1,107.7 Billion, whilst Liabilities were AED 869.5 Billion, remaining at similar levels to 2019. The Group’s share of Equity decreased by 6.4 per cent to AED 191.5 Billion.
H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, Managing Director, Trident Finance Ltd, commented: “The Covid-19 health crisis has had a severe impact on our key businesses. The drop in revenues was sudden and of a magnitude unseen before. However, all our portfolio companies actively engaged in significant efforts to reduce costs, preserve liquidity and adapt operations. Our shareholder and Government authorities also showed strong support and took decisive steps to help businesses throughout the crisis and certain of our key businesses benefited from this. As the crisis abates, we look forward to the re-opening of the global economy, confident that our companies will seize opportunities and bounce back, having preserved their competitive edge despite this unprecedented ordeal.”

Net Profit grew 16.9 percent from the prior year to AED 25.0 Billion including a record contribution from Banking and Financial Services and a strong performance from Transportation.

Assets increased to a record AED 1,121.3 Billion, rising 27.5 per cent from the year-end 2018, whilst Liabilities reached AED 869.7 Billion, rising 35.6 per cent, both mainly driven by the acquisition of DenizBank A.Ş., the continued business growth as well as the implementation of new IFRS 16 – Lease accounting rules. The Group’s share of Equity increased by 3.5 per cent to AED 204.6 Billion from the year-end 2018, despite an AED 9.7 Billion one-time adjustment relating to the adoption of IFRS 16.

H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, Executive Director and CEO, Trident Finance Ltd commented: “In 2019, ICD produced a very solid performance given the considerable challenges faced by the global economy and the effect that these have had on our businesses. The diversification of our activities and their resilience in volatile markets are two significant contributing factors when it comes to delivering consistent performance year-on-year. Moreover, the record asset level reached by ICD, well in excess of the AED 1 Trillion mark, reflects the continued growth achieved by our key businesses over time and the scale of their operations. In 2020, with the significant disruptions arising in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, we are focused on adjusting our operations to preserve their ability to operate competitively when the health crisis subsides. We remain confident that ICD’s businesses can deliver sustainable returns over the long term for the prosperity of Dubai.”
