Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company

Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company PJSC, commonly known as ADNIC, is a composite insurance company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Established by an emirate decree on 10 September 1972, it was the first insurer licensed in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The company has since developed from a locally focused insurer into a diversified underwriter serving personal, corporate and institutional customers. ADNIC’s activities cover a broad range of insurance classes. Personal and retail offerings include motor and medical insurance, while commercial and specialty lines include property, engineering, marine, liability and other corporate risk covers. The company also provides reinsurance products and works with regional and international brokers, insurers and reinsurers. Its business therefore combines direct insurance underwriting with risk-sharing and distribution relationships extending beyond the UAE. The company maintains operations across all seven emirates through branches, sales locations and customer-service centres. Its UAE footprint includes a presence in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Al Ain. ADNIC also operates an international division from Dubai and a representative office in London. Through these operations and its network of insurance and reinsurance partners, it states that it can provide risk coverage in more than 75 countries, including markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council, Asia and Europe. ADNIC is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange under the symbol ADNIC, which is also used as its Bloomberg ticker. The company is described in reference material as the second-largest insurer in the UAE by premium and one of the larger insurance groups in the GCC, although rankings can vary according to the reporting period and measurement used. Its largest disclosed shareholder is Mamoura Diversified Global Holding Company PJSC, an Abu Dhabi sovereign investment entity, with a 24.77% holding. A major expansion occurred in 2024, when ADNIC acquired Allianz Saudi Fransi Cooperative Insurance Company in Saudi Arabia. The acquired business was subsequently renamed Mutakamela Insurance Company. The transaction broadened ADNIC’s direct market presence in Saudi Arabia and strengthened its regional GCC strategy. For the financial year ended 31 December 2024, ADNIC reported insurance revenue of AED 7.18 billion, profit before tax of AED 466.4 million and profit after tax of AED 419.5 million. The company also reports financial-strength ratings of A (Excellent) from AM Best, reaffirmed in 2022, and A from S&P with a stable outlook, reaffirmed in 2024. These figures and ratings are time-specific and should not be treated as current without checking later company disclosures. Beyond underwriting, ADNIC has described initiatives relating to health and wellbeing, climate change and community support. It has partnered with Emirates Nature-WWF on conservation and sustainability activities and contributed to the Social Investment Fund administered by Abu Dhabi’s Authority of Social Contribution—Ma’an. Its 2020 contribution supported community needs during the COVID-19 response, while a further contribution in 2022 addressed areas including physical and mental health, education, skills development, families and community causes.

Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company was created by an emirate decree on 10 September 1972. Its establishment made it the first insurer licensed in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and placed the company within the development of Abu Dhabi’s formal financial and commercial institutions. The company’s initial identity was local and national: it was created to provide insurance capacity in a market that was then building the regulatory, corporate and infrastructure foundations of the modern United Arab Emirates. Over time, ADNIC expanded its underwriting activities beyond a narrow local base. It developed into a composite insurer offering multiple classes of direct insurance, including motor, medical, property, engineering, marine and liability coverage. These lines allowed it to serve both individuals and organizations. Motor and medical products address everyday personal and employee-related risks, while property, engineering, marine and liability products support construction, trade, industrial activity, transport and corporate operations. ADNIC also added reinsurance to its business scope. Reinsurance enables an insurer to distribute selected risks among other insurance companies and to participate in larger or more geographically diverse programs. ADNIC’s relationships with regional and international brokers, insurers and reinsurers became an important part of its ability to support risks outside its home market. As the UAE developed a broader financial-market infrastructure, ADNIC became a listed company on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, where it trades under the symbol ADNIC. Its public-market status provides a formal channel for investor disclosure and places the company among the listed insurance businesses associated with Abu Dhabi’s capital market. The company has been described as the second-largest insurer in the UAE by premium and as one of the larger insurers in the GCC, although such comparisons depend on the year and methodology. ADNIC built a distribution and service presence across the UAE. Its operations include branches, sales sites and customer-service centres in the country’s principal commercial locations, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Al Ain. The company also maintains an international division operating from Dubai and a representative office in London. Together with external partners, these facilities support stated risk coverage in more than 75 countries across the GCC, Asia and Europe. Ownership and regional growth became more prominent in the company’s later development. Mamoura Diversified Global Holding Company PJSC is identified as ADNIC’s largest shareholder, holding 24.77 percent. In 2024, ADNIC acquired Allianz Saudi Fransi Cooperative Insurance Company in Saudi Arabia. The acquired company was later renamed Mutakamela Insurance Company. The transaction gave ADNIC a larger operating presence in Saudi Arabia and supported its strategy of extending its GCC footprint beyond the UAE. The company’s 2024 financial results illustrate the scale of its current operations. For the year ended 31 December 2024, ADNIC reported AED 7.18 billion in insurance revenue, AED 466.4 million in profit before tax and AED 419.5 million in profit after tax. These are reported figures for a specified financial year rather than timeless company attributes. ADNIC’s cited external ratings include an A financial-strength rating from AM Best, reaffirmed in 2022, and an A rating from S&P with a stable outlook, reaffirmed in 2024. ADNIC has also presented itself as a participant in community and sustainability initiatives. Its stated areas of engagement include health and wellbeing, climate change and local community support. The company has partnered with Emirates Nature-WWF on conservation-related work and contributions linked to the UAE’s net-zero objectives. In 2020 it partnered with the Social Investment Fund administered by the Authority of Social Contribution—Ma’an to support the UAE community during the pandemic. In 2022 it made another contribution to Ma’an for initiatives involving health, education, skills, family and community issues.
