Abu Dhabi, UAE: ADNOC Distribution (ISIN: AEA006101017) (Symbol: ADNOCDIST), announced today that it has completed its acquisition from TotalEnergies Marketing Afrique SAS of a 50% stake in TotalEnergies Marketing Egypt LLC. The closing of this landmark transaction, which was first announced in July 2022, marks the official entry of the UAE’s largest fuel and retail distributor into the Egyptian market.

The acquisition is expected to uplift ADNOC Distribution's EBITDA from year 1 post closing (c.+6% on a fully-consolidated basis).

TotalEnergies Marketing Egypt is among the leading fuel retail operators in Egypt.

In addition to introducing the digitally-enabled ADNOC service station offering to customers in Egypt, ADNOC Distribution also plans to bring its signature Oasis convenience store to the market. 

This announcement comes following a remarkable year for ADNOC Distribution. In 2022, the company opened 68 new service stations across its network in the UAE and KSA, while annoucing strong results of an annual EBITDA of AED 3.52 billion, and net profit of AED 2.75 billion.
