Modon Holding, international holding company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, delivered exceptional financial performance for the full year 2025 reporting revenue of AED13.8 billion ($3.76 billion) and net profit of AED3.9 billion ($1.06 billion), reflecting a robust operating model and an accelerated execution of its strategy.
The group achieved significant year-on-year growth in revenue and profitability on a comparable basis, excluding prior year one-off items.
Modon is at the forefront of urban innovation, creating iconic designs and experiences. The group's interests cover real estate to hospitality, asset and investment management, events, catering and tourism.
2025 marked Modon's first full year of consolidated results following its formation in February 2024. During 2025, L'imad Holding Company, wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government, acquired an 84.75% ownership stake in Modon Holding. Supported by a stronger and more sustainable corporate and financial backing, this strategic step strengthened the group's institutional foundation, accelerated delivery of its strategy, and enhanced its ability to achieve ambitious targets more efficiently, a statement said.
In this period, the group accelerated delivery of its strategy for bringing cities to life - integrating urban destinations with sustainable communities, underpinned by an operating model that combines development, investment, and operations across its core business segments - reinforcing its foundations for sustainable growth and enhancing the Group's long-term earnings visibility.
Real Estate led the group's growth during the year, underscored by record sales of AED36.3 billion, supported by a strong business model and the effectiveness of its investment led approach. This performance reinforces sustainable growth and enhances long-term value for shareholders, underpinned by continued progress against an integrated strategic vision focused on diversifying recurring income streams across core growth platforms, including Asset & Investment Management, Hospitality, and Events, Catering & Tourism.
During the year, Modon advanced key Abu Dhabi developments, notably on Reem Island and the Hudayriyat Island masterplan, delivering successive launches, repeat sell-outs in record time, and ongoing construction progress, while continuing to advance the Ras El Hekma destination in Egypt. Group revenue backlog stood at AED46.0 billion ($12.53 billion), reinforcing forward earnings visibility and providing a strong foundation for sustained growth.

"Modon's 2025 achievements reflect a clarity of strategic direction and a growing ability to translate vision into sustainable economic value. This is being realised through the development of fully integrated urban ecosystems, improved capital allocation efficiency, and enhanced resilience and sustainability of future cash flows.
"Aligned with Abu Dhabi's ambitious long-term agenda, Modon continues to ensure its strategy supports the emirate's broader economic development objectives, with a focus on deepening the developmental impact of its projects, expanding its ecosystem of strategic partnerships, and reinforcing its position as a global developer, operator, and investor capable of driving growth and delivering sustainable value."
