Emirates Global Aluminium Achieves AED 15.08 Billion Revenue In First Half Of 2025

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) reported revenues of AED15.08 billion (US$4.11 billion) for the first half of 2025. The company achieved an underlying EBITDA of AED3.82 billion ($1.04 billion) and a net profit before GAC adjustments of AED1.63 billion ($445 million). Primary hot metal production remained stable at 1.34 million tonnes, while cast metal output reached 1.41 million tonnes.

EGA's sales performance showed growth, with 1.37 million tonnes of cast metal sold to over 400 customers across more than 50 countries, an increase from 1.31 million tonnes in H1 2024. The share of value-added products, known as 'premium aluminium,' rose to 84 percent, up from 82 percent in the previous year.

The company's low-carbon aluminium brands saw increased sales, with CelestiAL solar aluminium reaching 52 thousand tonnes, including 19 thousand tonnes of CelestiAL-R with recycled content, compared to 44 thousand tonnes in H1 2024. EGA also signed a supply agreement with Hyundai Mobis for up to 15 thousand tonnes of CelestiAL annually by 2026.

RevivAL recycled aluminium sales experienced significant growth, surging to 41 thousand tonnes from just two thousand tonnes in H1 2024. Meanwhile, Al Taweelah alumina refinery produced slightly less alumina at 1.14 million tonnes due to sourcing alternative bauxite outside Guinea.

EGA advanced its strategic growth agenda by announcing plans for a new primary aluminium production plant in Oklahoma, USA—the first since 1980. This facility is expected to produce between 600 thousand and 750 thousand tonnes annually, nearly doubling the US's aluminium capacity.

In recycling efforts, EGA Spectro Alloys completed a significant expansion in Minnesota, increasing capacity to 165 thousand tonnes per year after reaching first hot metal in early July. Full ramp-up is anticipated by Q1 2026.

Local and International Collaborations

In the UAE, construction of the largest aluminium recycling facility in Al Taweelah is progressing ahead of schedule and budget, with completion currently at 72 percent and first hot metal expected in Q1 2026. EGA also signed an MoU with RTX and Tawazun Council to explore gallium production opportunities.

EGA's digitalisation initiatives delivered a financial impact of AED48 million ($13 million) in H1 2025 through the development of new use cases. Since the launch of its Industry 4.0 programme in 2021, EGA has generated AED440 million ($120 million) through over 80 use cases and digital products.

Supporting Local Industry Growth

In alignment with the UAE’s Operation 300bn industrial strategy, EGA sold approximately 153 thousand tonnes of cast metal to local customers during H1 2025, up from the previous year's figure of around 149 thousand tonnes.

EGA's strategic initiatives reflect its commitment to expanding production capabilities both locally and internationally while enhancing sustainability through increased recycling efforts and digitalisation advancements.
