Ahmed Alebri, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, commented: “Our results for the first half of 2023 showcase the resilience and robustness of our business in the current lower price environment compared to the higher prices witnessed in H1 2022. For the period ending 30 June 2023, we delivered a net income of $2.3 billion. This performance demonstrates the strength of our business, which was also supported by selling more high-margin export liquids – a strategy that has proven effective.

“We continue to witness long-term structural demand growth for natural gas as a critical fuel for the responsible global energy transition. ADNOC Gas remains fully committed to investing in our people, operations, and markets, and we have continued to invest in our strategic growth opportunities throughout the first half of 2023.

“Our recent signing of significant long-term LNG agreements and our domestic investments demonstrate that we remain ideally positioned to meet both local and international demand, while further decarbonizing our operations in line with the UAE’s Net-Zero 2050 ambition, as we continue to deliver value for our shareholders over the longer-term.”

Continuing to invest in growth
In line with ADNOC Gas’ growth strategy, the Company recently awarded $1.34 billion in contracts for extending its natural gas pipeline to over 3,500km, serving the Northern Emirates, marking another key milestone for the sales gas pipeline network enhancement (ESTIDAMA) program. This strategic pipeline extension will drive further growth for ADNOC Gas as it continues to provide sustainable gas supplies to customers in support of the UAE’s plan to achieve gas self-sufficiency.

Focused on broadening the international customer base
ADNOC Gas continues to capitalize on the growing global demand for natural gas while extending its reach and reputation as a reliable supplier. In a significant post-period event, on July 18, ADNOC Gas announced a $7-9 billion 14-year supply agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) for the export of up to 1.2 mmtpa of LNG. This comes on the heels of the Company’s Q2 2023 signing of a supply agreement with TotalEnergies Gas and Power for the export of LNG to various markets around the world. In February, ADNOC Gas made the first-ever delivery of LNG from the Middle East to Germany, paving the way for longer-term deliveries.

Dividend guidance maintained
As stated during its IPO, ADNOC Gas maintains its dividend target of $1.625 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a further $1.625 billion dividend in the second quarter of 2024. Thereafter, ADNOC Gas expects to grow the annual target dividend amount by 5% per annum on a per-share basis over the 2024-2027 period. The targeted growth in dividends underscores ADNOC Gas’ strong and visible future cash flows, which provide ample headroom to invest in long-term future growth and provide stable returns for shareholders.
