Emirates Driving Company Posts AED 770 Million Revenue In FY2025, Supported By Mobility Portfolio Expansion And Strong Profitability

Emirates Driving Company reported strong financial results for the fiscal year ending 31st December 2025, with sharp gains in revenue, profit and cash generation. The company linked this performance to continued demand for driver training, expanding mobility operations and recent investments across public transport, taxi services, vehicle rental and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Total revenues for FY2025 reached AED770 million, compared with AED513 million in FY2024, representing year-on-year growth of 50 percent. Profit before tax increased to AED403 million from AED310 million, a rise of 30 percent, while net profit after tax advanced 23 percent to AED346 million against AED282 million a year earlier.

Emirates Driving Company also reported higher EBITDA, which climbed 35 percent to AED425 million for 2025. Management attributed the EBITDA improvement to tighter cost control, better use of assets and efficiency gains across training centres and related services. The figures underlined a resilient balance sheet and provided capacity for further capital expenditure and mobility projects in the UAE.

On the back of this performance, the Board of Directors proposed cash dividends of 20 fils per share for the 2025 financial year, subject to approval by the General Assembly. The suggested payout equals 40 percent of the company’s share capital and around 62 percent of net profit for 2025, about 18 percent higher than the prior year’s distribution.

Towards the end of 2025, Emirates Driving Company acquired a 22.5 percent interest in Mwasalat Holdings. Mwasalat Holdings includes Aman Public Transport, Aman Taxi and Autostrad, which collectively operate more than 1,000 buses, over 2,500 taxis and upwards of 5,500 rental vehicles across the UAE, increasing Emirates Driving Company’s exposure to passenger and fleet mobility.

Earlier, in 2024, Emirates Driving Company purchased a 51 percent stake in Excellence Premier Investment. Excellence Premier Investment owns several businesses, including Excellence Driving and Excellence Limousine. These additions broadened the company’s service mix from core driver training into wider transport and chauffeur operations, reinforcing links between training, licensing and mobility solutions.

Emirates Driving Company financial results and EV charging strategy

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Emirates Driving Company secured a strategic agreement from the Integrated Transport Centre in Abu Dhabi. Under the contract, the company will develop and operate next-generation electric vehicle charging stations. To run this programme, the group formed Chargepoint EV Charging Stations Management and Operation L.L.C in Abu Dhabi as a specialised subsidiary.

The company stated that these contracts, acquisitions and partnerships are aligned with a long-term strategy to create an integrated portfolio of smart mobility solutions. By combining driver training, public transport, taxi fleets, rental vehicles and electric vehicle charging, Emirates Driving Company aims to support safe, efficient and sustainable mobility networks across the UAE market.
