Performance during the period was driven by project execution across the Group's businesses and the recognition of revenue from its existing backlog, with Dubai's economic fundamentals providing a supportive operating environment. While global economic and geopolitical conditions remained uncertain, the UAE's open and diversified economy continued to support confidence in Emaar's key markets. The Group continued to prioritise efficient operations, prudent financial management and sustainable value creation for its stakeholders.

Following on from the first half of the year, Emaar's development, recurring income and international businesses each added to the Group's results. Ongoing construction progress, high occupancy across the Group's shopping malls and the size of its revenue backlog enabled Emaar to keep advancing its long-term strategic priorities. The Group continued to align investment and launch decisions with market conditions while advancing construction across its development portfolio. With earnings spread across development, recurring income and international markets, and a pipeline of sold projects under construction, Emaar is positioned to adapt to shifts in market conditions and pursue opportunities as they arise.
