Dubai, UAE; Aug 06, 2017: Emaar Malls (DFM: EMAARMALLS), the shopping malls and retail business majority-owned by Emaar Properties (DFM: EMAAR), recorded a net profit of AED 1.021 billion (US$ 278 million) in the first-half (January to June) of 2017. This is 3 per cent higher than the Hl 2016 net profit of AED 987 million (US$ 269 million). Revenue for half-year 2017 is AED 1.624 billion (US$ 442 million) similar to the Hl 2016 revenue of AED 1.618 billion (US$ 441 million).

Emaar Malls net profit during the second quarter (April to June) of 2017 is AED 482 million (US$ 131 million), 5 per cent higher than the Q2 2016 net profit of AED 458 million (US$ 125 million).

Emaar Mall assets - The Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina Mall, Sauk Al Bahar, Gold & Diamond Park and community shopping centres - welcomed over 65 million visitors during the first six months of the year, an increase of 7 per cent over the same period last year at 61 million.

The Dubai Mall, the flagship asset of Emaar Malls, recorded a visitor footfall of 39 million in Hl 2017, continuing to build on its reputation as the world's most visited retail and entertainment destination. With a gross leasable area (GLA) of 6 million sq ft in Dubai, GLA occupancy levels across Emaar Malls' assets averaged 95 per cent during Hl 2017.

Marking a milestone in its digital-oriented growth, Emaar Malls entered an agreement to acquire 51 per cent stake in Namshi, the leading online fashion retailer in the Middle East, and formed a partnership with fashion e-commerce platform Global Fashion Group to accelerate Namshi's development in the region. Emaar Malls will support the company to access additional fashion brands, develop its logistics infrastructure and expand its geographical footprint.

Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Malls and Emaar Properties, said: "Retail is a key contributor to the national economy, and with the fast-evolving changes in the sector, we are marking strategic expansions and investments to create sustained value for our stakeholders. The strong performance of Emaar Malls is highlighted by the diversity of retail choices and leisure attractions at our malls that welcome visitors from around the world. In addition to new retail districts that we are developing in Dubai, we will continue to invest in next-generation technology to transform the retail and shopping mall experience for our visitors including families and tech-savvy youth."

Highlighting the value creation of Emaar Malls, the company distributed 10 per cent of the share capital, equivalent to AED 1.301 billion (US$ 354 million), as cash dividend to its shareholders earlier this year.

In key growth initiatives, the expansion of Fashion Avenue in The Dubai Mall, which will have another 1

million sq ft of built up area delivering over 600,000 sq ft GLA, is in the final stages. This will add over 150 international brands, and F&B and leisure outlets to The Dubai Mall. Emaar Malls is also developing a new retail addition under its 'The Souk' concept in the Springs Village with over 245,000 sq ft GLA and also building the Boulevard expansion.

Emaar is developing a new Retail District in Dubai Creek Harbour, the 6 sq km mega-development anchored by an iconic tower, and is also planning The Dubai Mall's Fountain Views and Zabeel expansions in addition to building a centrally located mall, community retail areas and a boutique mall for high-end brands in Dubai Hills Estate, the 11million sq m master-planned community.
