The bank’s income from investments in Islamic financing and Sukuk rose by AED 131.8M (14.4%) reaching approximately AED 1.05B by the end of March 2026 on AED 914.3M YoY.
Total profit distributions to depositors and Sukuk holders amounted to around AED 581.7M: an increase from AED 546.9M in the prior-year period. The bank has continued its strategy of diversifying income streams, with net fee and commission income alongside other operating income, rising by 9.3% to AED 179.7M.
This contributed to a 21.1% uptick in total operating income, which reached approximately AED 644.1M: up from AED 531.7M.
The results underscore SIB’s solid financial positioning and its prudent risk management strategy, enabling the institution to sustain profitability and provide long-term value even in a challenging operational landscape.
Total assets remained stable at AED 90.9B at the end of Q1 reflecting a modest increase of AED 553.9M (1% on FY25) compared to AED 90.3B at the end of FY25.
The growth was largely attributed to an increase in total investment in Islamic financing, which rose to AED 46.8B from AED 45.6B, marking a 2.6% gain.
