Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company PJSC (du) has unveiled exceptional financial results for the third quarter of 2024, showcasing remarkable growth across all key metrics. The telecom leader reported a stellar 9.1% revenue increase and an impressive 16.9% surge in EBITDA, achieving its highest-ever quarterly EBITDA margin of 48.3% since company inception.

The company's Q3 net profit skyrocketed to Dh719 million - marking its strongest quarterly performance in three years - while nine-month profits soared by an extraordinary 49.7%. This outstanding achievement reflects du's successful execution of its strategic vision, combining commercial excellence with disciplined cost management as it transforms from traditional telecom services to becoming the UAE's premier Telecom and Digital Services Provider.

du demonstrated powerful commercial momentum during the quarter, with total revenues climbing to Dh3.6 billion - a solid testament to the company's growing market leadership and service innovation.
