FY and Q4 2024 Results
For the full year period, adjusted net income increased by an impressive 13% year-on-year to $5 billion. The company's strong performance was underpinned by robust demand for domestic gas which supported volume growth and improved pricing. Total sales volumes in FY 2024 increased by 2% to 3,616 million MMBTU. This increase in volume was enabled by a 13% increase in the ADNOC LNG (ALNG) joint venture contribution.
Adjusted revenues increased by 7% YoY in FY 2024 to $24.43 billion driven by a 2% increase in sales volume and improved pricing. The company's strong top line performance for 2024 translated into a strong EBITDA growth of 14% to $8.65 billion with a high, stable margin of 35%. Free cash flow for the period reached an impressive $4.58 billion, reflecting the company's strong cash conversion capabilities.
The company's stellar fourth quarter results reflect the ongoing disciplined execution of its updated strategy that was unveiled after Q3 2024. The plan targets an increase of over 40% in EBITDA by 2029 and entails capital expenditure (CAPEX) of up to $15 billion for the 2025-2029 period, which includes the acquisition of ADNOC's 60% share of the lower-carbon intensity Ruwais liquefied natural gas (LNG) project at cost in H2 2028.
ADNOC Gas delivered adjusted revenues of $6.06 billion, EBITDA of $2.28 billion and net income of $1.381 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024.
