Total revenues rose to AED770 million in FY2025, compared to AED513 million in FY2024, marking a 50 percent year-on-year increase, driven by sustained demand across EDC's core driver training operations and the continued expansion of its broader mobility portfolio.

In view of the strong performance and cash generation, the Board of Directors recommended cash dividends of 20 fils per share for the 2025 financial year, subject to approval by the General Assembly. The proposed distribution represents 40 percent of the company's share capital and around 62 percent of net profit for 2025, an increase of about 18 percent compared to the previous year.
