Emaar Properties Sees 60% Surge in Property Sales

Emaar Properties PJSC, a leading real estate developer in the United Arab Emirates, has announced impressive financial results for the first nine months of 2024. The company reported a 60% increase in property sales, amounting to AED 50 billion (US$ 13.6 billion). This remarkable growth is attributed to the robust demand in Dubai's real estate market, coupled with Emaar's consistent project execution and sustained investor confidence.

The company's total revenues rose by 30% to AED 23.8 billion (US$ 6.5 billion), while net profit before tax grew by 24% to AED 12.4 billion (US$ 3.4 billion) compared to the same period last year. Emaar's strategic focus on optimizing operational efficiencies and improving profit margins has resulted in a 17% growth in EBITDA, reaching AED 12.6 billion (US$ 3.4 billion).

Emaar's performance is further bolstered by the continued growth in Dubai's tourism and retail sectors. The company's revenue backlog from property sales has expanded to over AED 100 billion (US$ 27.2 billion), up 45% from September 2023. This backlog is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 4-5 years, indicating sustained profitability for the company.

Mohamed Alabbar, Emaar's founder and chairman, commented on the company's performance, stating, 'Our consistent performance in the first nine months of 2024 is a testament to our ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing global market. By investing in key locations and launching innovative projects, we continue to redefine luxury living and elevate the lifestyle experience for our customers.'

Given Emaar's strong financial results and strategic initiatives, investors might consider holding onto their shares. The company's robust sales and revenue backlog suggest a promising outlook, although potential investors should remain cautious of any market volatility or economic changes that could impact the real estate sector.
