Invictus Investment EBITDA Jumps 184 Per Cent in 2025

Invictus Investment Company PLC, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange as INVICTUS, has reported its strongest financial performance since its 2022 listing, with earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation rising by 184 per cent year on year to AED 458.5 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. The results, published in February 2026, indicate a marked expansion in both scale and operational integration across the company’s agro food portfolio in Africa and the Middle East.

According to the company’s audited statement and press release, revenue increased to AED 13.3 billion in 2025, compared with AED 8.9 billion in 2024, representing growth of 49 per cent. Net profit rose to AED 227.6 million from AED 166.3 million in the prior year, while return on equity reached 18 per cent. Total equity stood at AED 1.4 billion, up from AED 1.2 billion a year earlier. The board has recommended a cash dividend of AED 40 million, subject to shareholder approval. These figures were confirmed in disclosures carried by regional financial media and on the company’s official channels.

Commodity transaction volumes increased by 73 per cent to 14.2 million metric tonnes, compared with 8.2 million metric tonnes in 2024. The company attributes this growth to the integration of recent acquisitions, strengthened supply chain capabilities and expanded geographic reach. Invictus Investment currently reports operations or trading relationships in 65 countries, having entered ten additional markets during 2025, including Iraq, Lithuania, Cameroon, Ghana, Madagascar, Liberia, Mauritania, Nigeria, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

A notable corporate development during the year was the increase in shareholding by International Holding Company to 40 per cent. The transaction involved the acquisition of 196 million shares in a block trade valued at AED 419.83 million, signalling continued institutional backing. Public disclosures from both Invictus Investment and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange confirm the transaction details. In parallel, the company secured structured financing from Mauritius Commercial Bank in the form of acquisition finance and a revolving credit facility to support expansion into additional African markets.

Strategic acquisitions formed a central component of the company’s 2025 growth trajectory. Invictus Investment completed the acquisition of Merec Industries, one of Mozambique’s largest flour milling operations, and advanced the purchase of a 65.25 per cent stake in Angata Limitada, a fertiliser blending business in Angola, finalised in January 2026. It also continued consolidating Graderco, a Moroccan agro trading enterprise in which it acquired a 60 per cent stake in 2024. The board has further approved a binding offer to acquire a majority interest in an agro food manufacturing business operating primarily in North Africa.

These developments illustrate an emerging pattern within African agro industrial value chains, where firms are pursuing vertical integration across sourcing, processing and distribution. Invictus Investment’s stated objective is to evolve into a fully integrated agro food enterprise with a revenue target of AED 25 billion by 2028. The strategy aligns with broader continental priorities around food security, regional trade integration and local value addition, particularly in North and sub Saharan Africa where demand for staple commodities continues to grow.

The company has also reported progress on environmental, social and governance commitments, building on its 2024 ESG report. It identifies environmental stewardship, social empowerment and ethical governance as core pillars, with an intention to embed these principles across newly acquired entities. While the long term social and environmental impacts of rapid agro industrial expansion remain subject to ongoing evaluation, the company’s disclosures indicate an awareness of regulatory and stakeholder expectations across diverse African jurisdictions.

From a pan African perspective, the results reflect both opportunity and complexity. The expansion of agro food infrastructure across Mozambique, Angola, Morocco and other markets demonstrates capital mobility within and towards Africa’s food systems. At the same time, sustainable growth will depend on local partnerships, regulatory alignment and the resilience of supply chains in the face of climate variability and global commodity volatility.

Invictus Investment’s 2025 performance underscores the dynamism of African linked agro food enterprises operating within transcontinental capital networks. The audited figures provide a factual basis for assessing the company’s trajectory, while its continued expansion into multiple African markets situates it within broader debates about industrialisation, food sovereignty and regional economic integration.
