Doha, Qatar: Industries Qatar (IQ), yesterday announced a net profit of QR4.3bn for the year ended December 31, 2025 representing a decrease of8% compared to last year.
Commenting on the Group’s financial and operational performance for the year ended on 31 December 2025, H E Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, said: “The global economic landscape remained characterized by a complex environment, where slower growth intersected with moderating inflation, alongside emerging signs of a gradual shift toward more accommodative monetary policies.
"Global GDP recorded only modest expansion, with advanced economies experiencing subdued growth, while emerging markets demonstrated comparatively greater resilience and capacity to withstand external pressures."
He further added, "Despite these challenges and the volatility of the global economic environment, the Group succeeded in delivering strong operational and financial results, supported by its operational excellence, the strength of its cross‑continental logistics networks, and the robustness of its financial position."
The Group reported a consolidated net profit of QR4.3bn for the year ended31 December2025, with a marginal decline versus YE-24.Despite the decline in net profit, EBITDA, however, remained broadly unchanged due to marginally improved operating profit.
Meanwhile the Group revenue for YE-25 improved moderately compared toY
E-24.
This improvement in revenue is primarily due to a combined effect of improved prices and sales volumes. Selling prices have improved marginally mainly driven by fertilizers while sales volumes have also grown with major contribution from the steel segment.
The Group’s financial position continues to remain stable and strong, with proportionately accounted cash and bank balances remaining solid, after accounting for a dividend payout relating to 2024second half dividend and 2024 interim dividend together with major and routine capital expenditure. Currently, the Group has no short-term or long-term debt obligations.
Given the funding required for current and future capital projects and considering current short- and medium-term macroeconomic outlook, the Board of Directors proposes a 2H-2025 dividend distribution of QR2.7bn (equating to QR0.45 per share), which brings the total annual dividend distribution for the year ended 31 December 2025 of QR4.3bn, equivalent to a payout of QR0.71 per share for the full year, subject to necessary approval in the Annual General Assembly Meeting.
Industries Qatar will host an Earnings call with investors to discuss the latest results, on Tuesday, 17 February 2026 at 1:30 pm Doha time.
