Adnoc L&S profit and revenue rise in third quarter

Net profit at Adnoc Logistics and Services (Adnoc L&S) rose 18 percent year on year to $175 million in the third quarter of 2024, driven by investments in energy-related maritime logistics.

Quarterly revenue increased by 32 percent year on year to $928 million, supported by strong performance across all business segments.

Nine-month top line climbed 38 percent annually to $2.7 billion, while net profit increased 27 percent year on year to $576 million.

“The expected contribution of Navig8 will further boost our profile as a global energy maritime logistics company,” said CEO Abdulkareem Al Masabi.

He said the company’s strong balance sheet provides further organic and inorganic value-accretive growth opportunities.

The acquisition of Navig8, a shipping management services company, was announced during the first half of 2024, and is projected to increase Adnoc L&S’s earnings per share by at least 20 percent in the first full year. 

Regulatory approvals are in process with anticipated completion by March 31, 2025.

Meanwhile, the Adnoc subsidiary raised its medium-term investment guidance to include an incremental $3 billion, maintaining its 2024 and medium-term profit and loss outlook.

The company expects annual year-on-year net income growth in the low 20 percent range into 2024.

The dividend policy remains unchanged, with a projected total dividend payable for 2024 at $273 million.
