Union Properties PJSC

Union Properties PJSC reported strong financial performance in the third quarter of 2024, achieving a profit of AED 53 million. The company reduced its legacy bank debts by 56.5% to AED 682 million. Over the first nine months of 2024, revenue from contractual agreements rose by 7% to AED 389 million compared to the same period in 2023. The company's subsidiaries contributed significantly to this growth, with a 47% increase in accumulated gross profit, reaching AED 53 million. Union Properties also decreased its financial costs from AED 85 million in 2023 to AED 22 million in 2024 through debt restructuring and repayment. By the end of the first nine months, the company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by AED 326.2 million, indicating strong liquidity and financial health.

The letter, dated October 11, 2024, from Khaled Chaaban, Board Secretary of Union Properties PJSC, addresses an inquiry regarding the discrepancy between the estimated project value of AED 2 billion mentioned in a press release and the project cost of AED 1.15 billion stated in a disclosure. The letter clarifies that the disclosed project cost includes only construction-related expenses, excluding additional costs such as marketing, sales, management, overheads, and financing. The total project value reflects the entire project, and the company's current strategy is to retain ownership of some units to increase annual recurring income, rather than selling the entire project. Therefore, the project's value should not be calculated simply by adding construction costs and estimated profits.
