ahlibank has announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2026, demonstrating continued progress across its core business and strategic priorities, while maintaining a disciplined approach to sustainable and responsible growth.

For the period ended 30 September 2026, net loans, advances and financing stood at OMR 3,857.5 million, compared to OMR 3,292.7 million during the corresponding period in 2025, representing growth of 17.2%. Total assets reached OMR 4,624.4 million, while customer deposits stood at OMR 3,595.6 million, reflecting the continued strength of the bank’s funding base and customer relationships.

Operating income for the nine-month period amounted to OMR 92.96 million, compared to OMR 86.87 million for the corresponding period last year, while operating expenses stood at OMR 40.19 million, reflecting continued investment in people, technology, service capabilities and the infrastructure required to support the bank’s long-term growth. Profit for the period reached OMR 36.54 million, representing growth of 12.5%.

Commenting on the bank’s performance, Said Abdullah Al Hatmi, Chief Executive Officer of ahlibank, stated: “Our performance reflects the strength of a strategy grounded in disciplined growth, institutional resilience and a clear understanding of the role we seek to play in Oman’s economic development.

While the operating environment continues to evolve, we have remained focused on building the capabilities, connections and organizational strength required to create sustainable value over the long term. Our progress is therefore measured not only through financial performance, but also through the depth of our customer relationships, the development of national talent, the strengthening of the SME ecosystem and our ability to respond with relevance and agility to the changing needs of the market.

As we advance towards the final quarter of the year, our focus remains firmly on maintaining the quality of our growth, bolstering our competitiveness and continuing to deliver on our promise of being Your Partner in Excellence.”

Reflecting its commitment to being a trusted partner across every stage of its customers’ financial journeys, ahlibank continued to deepen the quality and breadth of its relationships across retail and corporate banking. Exclusive engagements with Al Nukhba clients and corporate customers provided valuable platforms for meaningful dialogue with customers and business leaders, enabling the bank to gain deeper insight into evolving priorities, anticipate emerging needs and further strengthen the long-standing relationships that underpin its customer franchise.

This relationship-led approach has been complemented by the continued evolution of the bank’s customer proposition, with a focus on practical value, relevance and service excellence. Partnerships and lifestyle benefits, including the airport facilitation service with TRANSOM and the Oman Air cashback campaign for credit cardholders, further reflected ahlibank’s commitment to delivering value that extends beyond traditional banking and remains aligned with customers’ everyday needs.

Advancing Oman’s SME ecosystem remained an important pillar of ahlibank’s contribution to private-sector development and economic diversification. During the period, the Bank launched the ahli tamkeen SME Academy, a three-month capacity-building programme designed to equip business owners with the knowledge, capabilities and practical tools needed to strengthen their operations, navigate evolving market dynamics and pursue sustainable growth.

The programme reflects ahlibank’s broader commitment to supporting SMEs beyond access to finance, recognizing that sustainable enterprise growth is equally dependent on capability, resilience and informed decision-making.

Reinforcing its commitment to creating lasting impact in the communities it serves, ahlibank continued to advance a purpose-driven approach to social responsibility through its ahlicares team, with initiatives centered on fostering inclusion, supporting education, promoting wellbeing and creating equitable opportunities for those in need.

Guided by the belief that responsible banking extends beyond financial services, the bank continues to work with trusted community partners to direct support where it can make the greatest difference, translating its social responsibility commitments into tangible and meaningful outcomes.

During the period, the bank expanded its Back-to-School initiative in partnership with Al Rahma Association for Motherhood and Childhood, reaching more than 5,000 students from underprivileged families across Oman with essential school supplies.

ahlibank also partnered with Sanubader Patient Services through the Wish Fulfilment initiative, supporting 30 young patients receiving treatment at the Royal Hospital through a positive and uplifting experience, complemented by the provision of digital devices to facilitate continued learning during treatment.

Building on this partnership, ahlibank and Sanubader also provided essential home medical equipment to support home-based care, helping ease the practical challenges faced by young patients and their families while contributing to greater comfort and continuity of care.

Reflecting its continued progress and strategic momentum, ahlibank received a distinguished array of industry accolades during the period. The bank was named Best Bank in Oman 2026 at the Arab Banks Awards and Commendations of Excellence and recognized as Best Performing Company, Large Cap at the Alam Al Iktisaad Awards 2026.

Further underscoring the strength of its Islamic banking proposition, ahli islamic was named Best Islamic Bank of the Year 2026. The bank also received the Leadership in CSR in Banking Award at the SHABIBA JAWA’IZ BASMA Social Impact Awards 2026, acknowledging its efforts to address community needs. Collectively, these recognitions reflect ahlibank’s strong performance, customer-centric approach, commitment to responsible growth and broader contribution to the communities and economy it serves.

As ahlibank enters the final quarter of 2026, it remains firmly focused on advancing sustainable, high-quality growth and strengthening the institutional capabilities that will define its long-term competitiveness.

The bank will continue to deepen customer relationships, enhance operational efficiency, accelerate digital capabilities, support productive sectors of the economy and invest in the development of national talent, while further expanding its contribution to SMEs and private-sector development as key drivers of Oman’s economic diversification.

Underpinning these priorities is a firm commitment to disciplined capital and liquidity management, robust governance and prudent risk management. Guided by its promise to being Partner in Excellence, ahlibank is building an increasingly capable, agile and resilient institution positioned to create enduring value for customers, shareholders, employees and the wider economy, while contributing meaningfully to the long-term aspirations of the Sultanate under Oman Vision 2040.
