Borouge Named In FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index Reflecting Resilient Dividend Profile

Borouge Plc has been added to the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index, a new income-focused benchmark launched by Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in December 2025. The move highlights Borouge’s role as a steady dividend payer for long-term, income-driven investors.

The FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index is the first index in the region built around dividend income. It tracks 17 companies that, together, accounted for more than 70 percent of all cash dividends from ADX-listed firms in 2025.

The index aims to showcase companies with a reliable record of dividend payments. Borouge’s presence in the index signals confidence in the company’s ability to keep distributing cash. The selection also increases visibility among regional and global investors focused on income strategies.

Borouge’s inclusion is supported by strong cash generation across commodity cycles. The company benefits from a large-scale production base and steady demand across Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. These elements help Borouge achieve stable earnings through cycles and sustain a clear dividend outlook.

"Borouge’s inclusion in the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index reinforces our position as one of the region’s leading income stocks and reflects the strength and resilience of our business model," said Hazeem Sultan Al Suwaidi, Chief Executive Officer of Borouge. He added, "Our focus on operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation enables us to deliver consistent and reliable returns for shareholders."

Borouge has restated its FY2025 dividend plan of 16.2 fils per share. This level is expected to be maintained by Borouge Group International, when launched, until at least 2030, subject to approvals. The policy framework also targets a payout ratio of up to 90 percent of net profit.

Strong EBITDA margins, a resilient balance sheet and a defined long-term strategy support this dividend stance. These features place Borouge in a solid position to keep providing stable and sustainable returns to shareholders while remaining a key component of the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index.
