DP World posts 32% rise in profit for 2025

DP World has reported record financial results for 2025, underlining the strength of its integrated logistics and port platform in a year still marked by uncertainty across global trade.

Revenue rose 22% to $24.4bn, while adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $6.4bn. The group said the performance was driven by strong results in its ports and terminals operations as well as across its logistics business.

Total gross container throughput increased 5.8% to 93.4m teu.

Profit for the year climbed 32.2% to $1.96bn, reflecting operating leverage and disciplined cost management. Operating cash flow was also up 14% at $6.3bn.

Essa Kazim, chairman of the board of directors at DP World, said the group’s diversified portfolio, disciplined capital allocation and focus on higher-yield cargo allowed it to deliver resilient earnings and strong cash generation despite a market defined by heightened uncertainty and changing trade dynamics.

Group chief executive Yuvraj Narayan said the Ports & Terminals division performed strongly, supported by healthy volumes, improved yield and disciplined cost control. He also noted that DP World unified its Marine Services business under a single brand in 2025, reinforcing its position as a fully integrated global logistics provider.

The group invested $3.1bn in capital expenditure during 2025, up from $2.2bn the previous year, to support global capacity expansion and productivity improvements. Port capacity rose to 109m teu.

On the sustainability side, DP World said it reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 14% compared with its 2022 baseline, while around 67% of its global electricity consumption now comes from renewable sources.

For 2026, the group has budgeted around $3bn in capital expenditure, with priority projects including Jebel Ali, Drydocks World, Tuna Tekra in India, London Gateway in the UK, Ndayane in Senegal and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
