Oman Telecommunications Company (Omantel), the leading telecom services provider in Oman, has announced its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025, reporting solid growth in revenue and profits. The performance was driven by broad-based growth across its domestic operations and increased contributions from Zain Group.
Omantel said its group net profit jumped by 87.7% year-on-year to RO371mn for the financial year 2025. Net profit attributable to Omantel shareholders grew by 63.1% to RO88.4mn, compared with RO54.2mn in 2024.
Group revenues reached RO3.413bn in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 11.4% compared with RO3.062bn reported in the previous year. The company said this robust growth was supported by strong performance across the group's operating markets, continued momentum in core telecom revenues, and rising demand across enterprise and digital service segments.
In a press release, Mulham Al Jarf, Chairman of Omantel, said, "Omantel continued to deliver strong performance in 2025, with broad-based growth across our domestic operations and Zain Group. These results reflect the success of our diversified portfolio, the resilience of our core business, and the disciplined execution of our strategic priorities.
"Our domestic growth was fuelled by sustained demand for our services, increased adoption of digital solutions, and ongoing expansion in ICT and wholesale capacity, while Zain Group continued to deliver impressive double-digit revenue and profit growth across key markets. As the sultanate's leading provider of integrated telecom and technology services, we remain committed to advancing Oman's digital infrastructure and supporting the country's Vision 2040 ambitions."
Aladdin Abdullah Baitfadhil, Chief Executive Officer of Omantel, said, "Omantel's performance in 2025 reflects the resilience of our domestic operations and the strength of our regional scale through Zain Group. We delivered solid growth in fixed services and continued to expand and unify our ICT portfolio to strengthen execution across cloud, cybersecurity and national digital infrastructure.
"Zain Group's sustained double-digit growth across key markets, together with the continued momentum of our ZOI joint venture, reinforces the value of our diversified portfolio and our disciplined approach to performance and investment."
Domestic growth momentum
Omantel's domestic operations maintained strong market leadership in 2025, with subscribers increasing 6.3% year-on-year to 3.655mn by December 2025, supported by successful retention and upselling strategies across both mobile and fixed segments.
In mobile services, the company maintained its leadership position with a 40.2% subscriber market share. Growth was primarily driven by the machine-to-machine (M2M) segment, which surpassed 1mn connections, reflecting expanding demand for smart solutions.
In fixed broadband services, Omantel retained a leading 55% subscriber market share. Fixed broadband subscribers increased to 329,300, up from 311,600, supported by customer migration to higher-tier fibre plans and continued expansion of fibre coverage.
ICT and emerging technologies
ICT and emerging technology solutions recorded robust growth as Omantel unified its enterprise solutions portfolio and captured rising demand for cloud, hosting and smart solutions. The company also advanced the rollout of emerging technology platforms and executed major programmes in artificial intelligence, cloud and cybersecurity.
The group also progressed national digital initiatives through the establishment of Otech. Omantel's Customer Experience Platform continued to expand, with the digital active user base reaching 1.89mn, supported by higher transaction volumes and the expansion of digital verticals across travel, entertainment and bill payments.
During the last year, OmPay broadened its product suite with the successful launch of a new digital wallet, international remittance services, and both virtual and physical cards, alongside the expansion of a 60-corridor remittance network.
