During this period, ADCOOP, the Group’s retail arm, reinforced its strategic positioning through an exclusive partnership with the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) to manage the Abu Dhabi Citizens’ Food Products Program, with rollout scheduled to commence during Q1 2026. Leveraging more than 50 stores and integration with the TAMM platform, the initiative is expected to enhance customer access and support future revenue growth.
ADCOOP also continued to advance its private-label strategy, having launched two brands during the year, with two additional launches planned in 2026. The commencement of the store remodeling program is scheduled to commence in Q1 2026, supporting the Group’s ongoing efforts to build a stronger, more modern, and customer-centric retail network.
As part of its continued portfolio expansion, Makani Real Estate (“Makani”), the Group’s commercial real estate arm, entered into an agreement with AD Ports Group to acquire KEZAD Logistics Park – KLP Free Zone 3 (FZ3), a free zone industrial and logistics group of warehouses. The transaction, valued at AED 295 million under an extendable 50-year Musataha arrangement, further strengthens Makani’s exposure to income-generating logistics assets and reinforces the Group’s disciplined approach to long-term value creation through strategically located commercial real estate investments.
The Group reported total revenue of AED 1.96 billion in FY 2025 (2024: AED 2.06 billion). Retail revenues declined (8)% to AED 1.66 billion (2024: AED 1.80 billion), primarily driven by the closure of loss-making stores and a reduction in wholesale. Retail stores like-for-like sales (3)% decline is on an “improving” trajectory as the impact of rebranding and transformation start to take effect (H1 2025: (6)%, H2 2025: flat).
Makani portfolio delivered AED 220 million in revenue for the FY 2025 (2024: AED 204 million), an increase of 8% year-on-year, underpinned by a strong 93% occupancy rate across the Group’s 70+ malls and community hubs. Makani’s pipeline of new malls continued to progress during the year, with further new development opportunities in the planning stages.
Net Profit Growth Continued in FY 2025
Net profit for the year increased to AED 190.8 million in FY 2025, compared to AED 171.1 million in FY 2024, reflecting an 11% year-on-year increase. This performance was supported by resilient operating contributions across the portfolio and a material reduction in finance costs following the full repayment of bank borrowings.
Strong Cash Flow Enables Strategic Development
The Group continued to generate strong cash flows during the year and ended FY 2025 with a net cash position of AED 386 million, following the full repayment of all outstanding debt obligations.
During the period, MAIR Group advanced its asset optimization strategy, including the divestment of non-core assets. The Group continues to redeploy proceeds into higher-yielding opportunities.
This strong liquidity position provides MAIR with significant financial flexibility to reinvest in its retail and commercial real estate development pipeline, supporting the execution of its expansion initiatives and the delivery of sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
Reflecting on the Group’s performance, Captain Mohamed Juma Alshamisi, Chairman of the Board of Directors, MAIR Group, said: “In a year defined by steady progress and structural alignment, guided by the UAE leadership’s vision and national development agenda, MAIR Group continued strengthening its integrated verticals across grocery retail and commercial real estate. Operating within a resilient UAE market and aligned with national priorities in food security and economic diversification, our dual-platform model across ADCOOP and Makani remains well positioned for continued progress. The Board remains focused on strong governance, capital discipline, and advancing the Group’s strategic priorities while delivering enduring value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.”
Commenting on MAIR’s unaudited preliminary financial results for the fiscal year 2025, Nehayan Hamad Alameri, Managing Director and Group CEO, MAIR Group, said: “2025 marked the first full year following the Group’s listing on ADX, with transformation gaining momentum through integration between retail and commercial real estate. The completion of the ADCOOP rebranding and the strengthening of Makani’s commercial real estate platform supported resilient performance, with net profit up 11% year-on-year.
“As we enter 2026, initiatives across retail and commercial real estate are moving from foundation-building into growth, positioning MAIR to deliver sustainable long-term value for shareholders and the communities we serve.”
