Our strategy is designed to be practical, measurable, and executable across economic cycles. In 2025, execution was the central theme. Across the organization, teams delivered against well-defined priorities with stronger coordination, sharper accountability, and improved speed of decision-making, achieving our Strategy 2025 goals and laying a strong foundation for our Strategy 2030 that was launched this year.

We advanced our core banking activities, maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and risk management. Growth was pursued selectively, with a focus on segments where alinma has clear competitive strengths and the ability to build long-term relationships. At the same time, we continued to refine our internal processes, governance frameworks, and performance management, ensuring that scale did not come at the expense of control.

This execution has resulted in measurable outcomes supported by structural change. Over the course of the strategy cycle, operating income more than doubled, while net income grew by more than three times. Returns strengthened materially, with return on equity and return on assets improving significantly. This execution discipline has become a differentiating strength. It allows alinma to move faster where opportunities exist, adapt to changing conditions, and deliver consistently across business cycles.
