  • Modon H1 Net Profit Reaches Dh2.2 Billion After Property Sales Hit Dh26 Billion

    Modon H1 Net Profit Reaches Dh2.2 Billion After Property Sales Hit Dh26 Billion

    Abu Dhabi-based Modon Holding has cemented its position as the emirate’s largest developer by sales value after recording Dh26 billion in property transactions during the first half of 2026, with Abu Dhabi accounting for Dh23 billion of the total.

    The group posted net profit of Dh2.2 billion for the six-month period, while revenue climbed 40 percent year-on-year to Dh9.2 billion, marking a new half-year record. Strong demand for new residential developments drove the performance and significantly expanded the company’s future income pipeline.

    Revenue backlog doubled from the same period in 2025 to reach Dh65.4 billion and increased 42 percent from the end of 2025, with developments in the UAE and Egypt representing 95 percent of the total.

    An exceptional performance from real estate positioned Modon as the largest developer in Abu Dhabi in terms of sales value during H1. This included the UAE’s highest-ever single-project sales value for the launch of Hudayriyat Golf Estates, with Dh13 billion achieved within days.

    Abdulla Al Sahi, Group Managing Director of Modon Holding, attributed the results to robust real estate performance.

    Record-Breaking Launch at Hudayriyat Golf Estates

    The launch of Hudayriyat Golf Estates generated Dh13 billion in sales within days, representing the highest sales value ever recorded for a single residential project launch in the UAE, according to Modon.

    Tara Park on Reem Island sold out across two phases launched in March and April, while additional phases were released at Wadi Yemm in Egypt. Real estate sales increased 2.6 times compared to the first half of 2025, driven by developments across Abu Dhabi, Egypt and Spain.

    Real estate revenue rose 56 percent to Dh5.7 billion, making the segment Modon’s main earnings contributor. The group awarded Dh14.1 billion in construction and consultancy contracts during the period.

    Strong Financial Position and Diversified Income

    Adjusted EBITDA reached Dh3 billion for the half-year, while recurring revenue increased 22 percent to Dh3.5 billion and represented 38 percent of group revenue.

    Excluding one-off gains and dividend income recorded during the previous year, adjusted EBITDA increased 18 percent and net profit rose 23 percent.

    Revenue from events, catering and tourism climbed 25 percent to Dh2.8 billion, including a Dh1 billion contribution from Arena Group. Modon hosted 484 events that attracted more than 2.7 million visitors across venues in the UAE and UK, while its catering operations served 24.9 million meals, up 5 percent year-on-year.

    Asset and investment management revenue rose 13 percent to Dh361 million, supported by higher rental income and occupancy of 96 percent across owned properties.

    Revenue from owned and operated hotels increased 8 percent to Dh388 million. Modon said higher domestic and staycation demand helped offset softer international tourism during regional travel disruption in March and April.

    Liquidity and Balance Sheet Strength

    Modon held Dh8.6 billion in unrestricted cash and Dh1.5 billion in undrawn committed facilities at the end of June. Net debt stood at Dh912 million, with net debt to EBITDA at 0.18 times.

    Our Group revenue backlog of Dh65.4 billion, alongside additional income-generating assets coming online, ensure a positive outlook for future growth. As we move into the second half of the year and beyond into 2027, Modon will expand on its objectives, maintaining forward progress with a disciplined and relentless focus on delivery.

    Bill O’Regan, Group Chief Executive Officer of Modon Holding, outlined plans for continued expansion.

    The group entered the second half with total assets of Dh92 billion and equity of Dh57 billion, representing increases of 6 percent and 5 percent respectively since the end of 2025.

    Modon’s performance reflects the broader momentum across Abu Dhabi’s property market, which recorded Dh117 billion in total real estate transactions during the first half of 2026, a 112 percent year-on-year increase driven by surging foreign investment and strong demand across residential and commercial segments.

    Modon and Montage Launch Luxury Resort at Egypt’s Ras El Hekma

    The project, named Montage Ras El Hekma, will feature 200 guestrooms and suites alongside 96 branded residences available for purchase within the wider Ras El Hekma master development on Egypt’s Northern Coast.

    The resort will include beachfront swimmable lagoons, a Spa Montage facility with 13 treatment rooms, six dining venues, retail areas, event spaces and an owners’ clubhouse designed for residents. The branded residences will consist of villas ranging from three to six bedrooms located within Wadi Yemm, the first precinct of the Ras El Hekma development to enter active delivery.

    Bill O’Regan, Group Chief Executive of Modon Holding, said the partnership aligned with the company’s plans to position Ras El Hekma as a Mediterranean destination focused on tourism, lifestyle and long-term investment value.

    Montage International Founder and Chief Executive Alan Fuerstman described the Egypt launch as a milestone in the hospitality group’s international expansion plans. The project marks the start of a broader partnership between Modon and Montage, with the companies indicating potential future collaborations across other Modon destinations.

    Ras El Hekma is being developed as a mixed-use coastal city spanning 44 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline and covering 170.8 million square metres. The masterplan includes residential districts, tourism infrastructure, marinas, cultural venues, a business district and transport links connecting the destination by road, sea and air.

    The $35 billion development is expected to attract $110 billion in investment by 2045, contribute around $25 billion annually to Egypt’s gross domestic product, and generate approximately 750,000 jobs upon completion, according to project estimates.

    The announcement follows Modon’s strong performance in Abu Dhabi, where the developer recently sold out Tara Park with AED2 billion in sales, reflecting sustained investor confidence in the emirate’s property sector.
