Management comment On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, Mr. Khamis Buharoon, ADIB Vice Chairman and acting CEO, said: “Despite increased competition within the UAE banking industry, 2018 has marked another successful year for ADIB in which we have achieved solid revenue and net profit growth. During the year we have enhanced our digital banking platforms and award-winning product offering, enabling us to attract over 60,000 new customers and cross the one million customer milestone. This has enhanced income sourced from customer financing, which now represents over two-thirds of total revenues.” 6
7. “We have invested heavily in new technology that can equip customers to conduct their banking transactions in a more flexible, convenient and secure way in 2018. The rapid uptake in the use of digital channels by customers, with over two million mobile transactions initiated via the ADIB mobile banking app every month, is indicative of changing customer behaviour. We feel that with the implementation of a comprehensive digital transformation strategy, we are ideally positioned amongst peers to capitalise on this clear trend towards mobile banking. Our aim is to continue to gain market share by meeting the needs and aspirations of customers, and delivering an exceptional experience across retail, wholesale and transaction banking underpinned by practical innovation and an extensive branch network.” “A major achievement in 2018 was the strengthening of the bank’s capital position through a highly successful rights issue and issuance of a Tier 1 perpetual sukuk. There was notable appetite from a broad range of local and international investors for these capital raising initiatives, and for the subsequent opening of ADIB’s shares to foreign investors. Such interest and excitement amongst the investment community is a testament to ADIB’s strength and stability as well as the bank’s prospects for further growth and development.” “The UAE economy has proved its resilience in recent years, and a continuation of government investment in diversification initiatives will provide opportunities for ADIB to develop its corporate and retail banking businesses. While the global economic picture is uncertain, we can mitigate volatility by remaining committed to maintaining our best practice approach to risk management. There is no doubt that credit quality and capital strength lie at the core of our strategic success and in 2019 we will maintain a prudent approach commensurate with our long-term targets for return on shareholder equity.” “Our strong performance in 2018 has allowed ADIB’s Board of Directors to recommend a cash dividend payout representing 39.76% of the year’s net profit, while still allowing for continued significant reinvestment in the future growth of our businesses.” Dividend The Board of Directors recommends the distribution of 27.38% cash dividend for 2018. The cash dividend represents 39.76% of full year net profits for 2018. Approvals These results, including the dividend, are subject to approval by the Central Bank of the UAE and the shareholders at ADIB’s Annual General Assembly. 7
