Commenting on the results, Mr Nabeel Noorudin, Board Chairman of Esterad, stated: “Our full-year results reflect a year of disciplined execution and strategic repositioning for Esterad. The growth in net profitability during the fourth quarter and across 2025 underscores the strength and resilience of our diversified investment platform, as well as our prudent and selective approach to capital deployment. Throughout the year, we remained focused on strengthening our core foundations, enhancing governance frameworks, and positioning Esterad for scalable regional expansion through the launch of Esterad Capital.”
He added: “The establishment of our DFSA-licensed platform in the DIFC marks a significant milestone, enhancing Esterad’s regional presence within a globally recognised financial centre. This step unlocks new channels of capital, strengthens our relationships with international partners, and enables us to pursue new investment opportunities. Supported by disciplined exits and high-quality acquisitions across real estate and private equity, we have reinforced Esterad’s trajectory toward sustainable value creation, underpinned by prudent capital allocation, robust oversight and long-term strategic clarity.”
He concluded by saying, “As a result of the Company’s success, stability and strength of earnings, the Board of Directors recommended the distribution of cash dividends of 15% of the capital, equivalent to 15 fils per equity share for the fiscal year 2025, with a total amount of BD 2,422,159 for shareholders registered for the shareholders registered with the company on the record date. However, this recommendation is subject to the approvals of the regulatory authorities and shareholders at the Annual General Meeting’’.
For his part, Mr Ahmed Abdulrahman, Chief Executive Officer of Esterad, stated: “The fourth quarter capped a year of strong operational progress and financial performance. Our results reflect the combined impact of disciplined portfolio management, selective capital deployment, and the successful execution of value-accretive transactions across our core investment verticals. These outcomes underscore the resilience of our diversified platform and the tangible impact of our strategic repositioning efforts throughout the year.”
He continued: “During the quarter, three funds were successfully launched across the Group’s licensed asset management platforms, Esterad Capital and Esterad Bank. These managed funds acquired investments in a travel center in the United States, a domestic commercial real estate asset and a specialised healthcare facility, representing a leading specialised ophthalmology centre in Bahrain. These transactions demonstrate our ability to originate unique, differentiated opportunities, structure investments with downside protection, and align capital deployment with resilient and income-generating sectors that support long-term stability and growth.”
The CEO added: “In parallel with deploying capital into new opportunities, the Group continued to actively realise value across its portfolio, including the notable exit of a labour camp investment in the UAE. The transaction generated significant liquidity for the Group and provided additional resources to focus on its strategic growth opportunities. With a strengthened platform, enhanced regional presence, and a disciplined investment philosophy, Esterad is well-positioned to sustain positive momentum and deliver consistent, long-term returns to shareholders.”
