4. Key Performance Drivers
Revenue growth was driven by continued expansion across the Group's diversified mobility businesses. Profitability moderated mainly because H1 2025 included several one-off income items that did not recur in 2026, including rental income, gains from property disposals, and higher fair value gains on investments. Administrative expenses also increased due to a one-time accrual expected to reverse by year-end, while the company continued investing in future growth initiatives.
5. Strategic Highlights & Outlook
Emirates Mobility continued executing its long-term transformation strategy by:
• Expanding beyond driver training into integrated mobility services.
• Receiving ESG 1000 and MSI 20000 certifications.
• Signing strategic mobility partnerships including ChargePoint × ROX UAE and K2 × Mwasalat.
• Showcasing innovation at Make it in the Emirates 2026.
• Announcing the planned acquisition of a 51% stake in Performise Labs to strengthen AI and technology capabilities.
Management believes its strong balance sheet, diversified business model, continued investment in innovation, AI, EV infrastructure and smart mobility position the Group well for sustainable long-term growth.
6. Investor Takeaway
Emirates Mobility delivered another solid set of results while successfully transforming into a broader mobility platform. Although reported profit declined due to the absence of one-off gains recorded last year, underlying operations remained resilient with higher revenue, stable gross profit, a strong cash position, and continued investment in future growth. The company's expanding mobility ecosystem, strategic partnerships, and successful rebranding continue to strengthen its long-term growth outlook.
