 $940 million quarterly dividend approved, consistent with progressive dividend policy

ABU DHABI, UAE, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ADNOC Gas plc and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "ADNOC Gas" or the "Company") (ADX: ADNOCGAS) (ISIN: AEE01195A234), one of the world's largest integrated gas companies, today announced its results for the third quarter of 2026, delivering net income of $1.34 billion – double the previous quarter. The strong performance across the domestic gas, LNG, export-traded liquids (ETL) and sulfur businesses drove the results, demonstrating the operational resilience, enhanced efficiency and commercial agility of the Company's integrated portfolio.

Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said: "Our third-quarter results deliver a compelling message: strong execution across the business has been the key driver of our renewed momentum and excellent results. Our operational strength and commercial agility enabled us to safely and reliably meet domestic and international demand and drive strong financial results despite continued challenging external conditions. It is a clear demonstration of the value of our integrated business model, the disciplined execution of our teams and our commitment to leveraging and adopting advanced technologies across the business."

"We continue to deliver on our dividend commitment to shareholders and invest in one of the industry's largest gas growth programs. We are uniquely positioned to create lasting value for the UAE, our customers and for our investors."

Strong Earnings Rebound

ADNOC Gas delivered net income of $1.34 billion in Q3 2026, up 101% from $665 million in Q2 2026. The rebound, driven by strong operational performance and agile commercial execution across the Company's key business lines, drove EBITDA 70% higher quarter-on-quarter to $2.03 billion.

ADNOC Gas' domestic gas business continued to provide a stable, progressive foundation for earnings. Sales within the UAE rose 20% quarter-on-quarter, supported by resilient demand, while robust margins lifted domestic gas EBITDA by 28% in the same period.

Leveraging its commercial expertise and operational strength, the Company scaled up its international product sales, lifting EBITDA by 106% quarter-on-quarter. Sulfur sales provided additional earnings support, with EBITDA up 249% over the same period.

Strong Cash Generation and Shareholder Returns

The Board has approved a quarterly dividend of $940 million, up 5% year-on-year and payable in December 2026. The dividend is in line with the Company's target to increase the dividend by 5% annually through 2030. For the first nine months of the year, ADNOC Gas generated $3.82 billion of cash flow from operations, covering the $2.82 billion year-to-date dividend comfortably by 1.3 times. Our strong cash generation and balance sheet provide the financial capacity to fund our long-term growth program while continuing to deliver attractive shareholder returns. The Company's full-year 2026 dividend commitment of 18 fils per share represents a dividend yield of 5.34%, based on the closing share price on 9 November, 2026. ADNOC Gas remains the largest dividend payer on the ADX.

Full-Year 2026 Outlook

Although market conditions improved during the third quarter, ongoing disruption to maritime movements through the Strait of Hormuz continued to create a challenging operating environment. Through proactive inventory, logistics and supply-chain management, ADNOC Gas worked closely with customers, contractors and partners to mitigate the impact of these disruptions. Following a strong third-quarter performance, ADNOC Gas has raised its full-year 2026 net income guidance to at least $4 billion. Our outlook remains subject to developments in regional maritime conditions, which we continue to monitor closely.

Continuing to Deliver Long-Term Growth

ADNOC Gas is delivering one of the largest gas growth programs in the industry, spanning four megaprojects – the Rich Gas Development (RGD), Ruwais LNG, Maximizing Ethane Recovery and Monetization (MERAM) and Estidama – which together are expected to generate $13.4 billion in In-Country Value (ICV), reinforcing the Company's contribution to the UAE's industrial development and economic diversification goals.  Each of these projects reached important milestones during the third quarter. The Company remains focused on delivering strategic growth projects that expand capacity, capture future demand growth and create long-term shareholder value. The expansion program underpins the Company's targeted EBITDA growth of 60%[1] by 2030 compared to 2023, with approximately $28 billion of investment planned between 2026 and 2030.

Supporting ADNOC Gas' growth program are several key milestones on projects across the portfolio:

• ADNOC Gas broke ground on Phase 3 of the RGD project to add a natural gas liquids fractionation train at Ruwais that will produce over 8 million tonnes annually for export once complete.
• At Ruwais LNG, the first two main refrigeration compressor trains were installed as the project continues to make good progress.
• MERAM has safely completed its first tie-in to existing processing facilities as well as introducing first gas to the project. These developments are key to the current phase of the project and the progression of the plan overall.
• At Estidama, the first sales gas compression train was successfully started up and achieved operational readiness, a key step as the project advances toward commissioning.
• Restoration works at the damaged Habshan complex progressed in line with plan during the quarter. ADNOC Gas remains on track to restore full capacity by the second quarter of 2027.

Advancing AI-Enabled, Autonomous Operations

ADNOC Gas is scaling AI and robotics to deliver safer, smarter and more autonomous operations. AI-powered control rooms at Bu Hasa and Taweelah, alongside autonomous inspection robots, are improving productivity, reliability and real-time decision-making while targeting significant cost savings and creating over $900 million of value in the business by 2030. These initiatives accelerate ADNOC Gas' ambition to become an AI-native company.

ADNOC Gas Delivers Q3 Rebound with $1.34 Billion Net Income

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- xTool, a global leader in personal creative tools, November 6th announced a strategic partnership with Viettel Commerce, a member of Viettel Group, one of Vietnam's leading telecommunications and technology groups, marking a significant step in xTool's expansion into Vietnam.

With an established customer base in North America and Europe, xTool serves creators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses who use its tools to turn creative ideas into products for sale. Through its partnership with Viettel, xTool aims to bring these creative technologies and the opportunities they enable to more Vietnamese consumers, creators, and businesses.

According to CIC Consulting, xTool held a 47% share of the global laser engraver and cutter market by gross merchandise value (GMV) in the first nine months of 2025—approximately six times that of the second-largest brand and more than the combined share of brands ranked second through tenth.

A Strategic Partnership to Expand xTool's Presence in Vietnam

Under the strategic partnership framework, xTool and Viettel will explore collaboration across three key areas:

• Retail and hands-on experiences: Explore in-store displays, pop-up experiences, live demonstrations, and on-site personalization, allowing consumers and business customers to experience xTool's technologies firsthand and see how customized products can be created in real time.
• E-commerce: Explore online sales opportunities through platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, and Tiki, alongside localized marketing, product information, and customer engagement.
• Business and enterprise applications: Identify opportunities in customized merchandise, branded products, small-batch production, education and training, and suitable enterprise projects, helping local businesses develop differentiated products and respond to personalized customer demand.

xTool will contribute its product portfolio, technical expertise, marketing resources, and training capabilities. Viettel will bring local market knowledge, channel and logistics resources, and enterprise customer relationships. Together, the two companies will explore ways to provide localized customer support, including Vietnamese-language product consultation, product demonstrations, training, and technical assistance as the partnership develops. Specific initiatives will be developed as the partnership progresses.

"Vietnam is an exciting next step in xTool's expansion in Southeast Asia. Around the world, we've seen people turn their ideas into products and their creativity into businesses. We believe these opportunities can extend to more entrepreneurs in Vietnam. By combining xTool's innovative products and global experience with Viettel's strong local capabilities, we hope to help more Vietnamese entrepreneurs bring their ideas to market and build businesses of their own."

— Howard Zhong, Head of EMEA & Emerging Markets, xTool

Turning Creativity into Business Opportunities

Vietnam's entrepreneurial spirit and growing demand for personalized products create opportunities for individuals to turn creative ideas into viable businesses. From customized gifts and personalized merchandise to branded products and niche product lines, accessible creative tools are making it easier for entrepreneurs to start small, develop distinctive offerings, and respond to evolving customer needs.

Across Southeast Asia, xTool users are already turning these opportunities into real businesses. Arlyn Marie, a mother of two from the Philippines and a former bank marketing assistant, turned her handmade craft hobby into a personalized products business with xTool. By selling customized keepsakes at local markets, she generates around US$500 in revenue at a single market event. Her business income eventually surpassed her full-time salary, enabling her to become a full-time entrepreneur while gaining greater flexibility to spend time with her children.

"Creation is human nature. Even as the digital and virtual worlds continue to flourish, we believe there is enduring value in creating something extraordinary in the physical world.

At xTool, we bring together hardware, software, and community to empower everyday people to create in the physical world. Vietnam is a major manufacturing hub with an abundance of creative talent. Together with our local partner Viettel, we hope to empower more people in Vietnam to create locally, turn their ideas into tangible products, and build businesses of their own."

— Howard Zhong, Head of EMEA & Emerging Markets, xTool

The growing importance of in-person technology experiences in Vietnam can also be seen in the retail sector. In July 2026, DJI opened its first Authorized Retail Store in Vietnam at Saigon Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, offering hands-on product experiences, professional consultation, and creator workshops. For xTool, similar experiences could go a step further by allowing customers to see personalized products being made on the spot and explore practical applications for their own businesses.

Through its partnership with Viettel, xTool aims to bring these experiences and business opportunities closer to Vietnamese consumers and entrepreneurs, combining its product innovation and global experience with Viettel's local market capabilities.

"Vietnam's entrepreneurial spirit and growing interest in personalized products create exciting opportunities for new technologies. Our partnership with xTool brings together creative tools and local market capabilities, allowing us to explore how these technologies can help Vietnamese consumers, entrepreneurs, and businesses develop new products and commercial opportunities. We look forward to building practical solutions that respond to local needs."

— Mr. Pham Tien Tuyen, Deputy General Director of Viettel Commerce and Director of Viettel Distribution Center
