Abu Dhabi - Mubasher: The National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) logged net profits after tax amounting to AED 1.20 billion in 2025, up 41.80% year-on-year (YoY) from AED 850.10 million.
Likewise, the earnings per share (EPS) increased to AED 0.46 last year from AED 0.29 at the end of December 2024, according to the preliminary financial statements.
NBF recorded its best-ever operating income of AED 2.66 billion, marking an annual rise of 9.30% when compared to AED 2.43 billion.
This reflects the lender’s focus on key business segment growth and proactive asset and liability management in line with its customer-centric approach that offsets the impact from the interest rate cuts.
Total assets rose by 14% to AED 69.37 billion in 2025 from AED 60.87 billion at 2024 year-end, while the customer deposits and Islamic customer deposits grew by 11.40% to AED 51 billion from AED 45.80 billion.
Saleh bin Mohamed bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Chairman of NBF, said: “We are delighted and proud of NBF achieving its record set of results, surpassing the net profit milestone of AED 1 billion for the first time in our 43-year history, with robust improvement across all performance metrics.”
“The results particularly demonstrate our resilience, the efficacy of our strategies focused on long-term sustainable growth, and the adaptability of the NBF franchise to navigate through the ever-changing environment and emerge stronger than ever,” he added.
Adnan Anwar, CEO of NBF, commented: “We have ended 2025 on a strong note with an exceptional financial performance. This has been powered by operational excellence, the seamless execution of our business strategy, and robust performance across all our segments.”
The ADX-listed lender continued its effort to deliver strong financial performance after posting its best-ever net profit after tax for nine months at AED 945.37 million.
