DP World reported record financial results for 2025, with revenue rising 22% to US$ 24.4 billion and adjusted EBITDA growing 18 percent to US$ 6.4 billion, representing a margin of 26.3 percent.
Profits for the year increased 32.2% to US$ 1.96 billion, while operating cash flow rose 14% to US$ 6.3 billion. Return on Capital Employed improved from 8.9% in 2024 to 9.9%.
Total gross throughput across the group’s ports and terminals reached 93.4 million TEU, an increase of 5.8%. Like-for-like revenue per TEU in the Ports and Terminals segment grew by 8.5%, reflecting improved yield management alongside healthy volume growth and disciplined cost control.
A notable organisational development during the year was the consolidation of DP World’s marine services operations under a unified brand, reinforcing the company’s positioning as a fully integrated global logistics provider operating under the One DP World model.
The approach is designed to deepen collaboration across ports, logistics and trade platform capabilities.
Capital expenditure rose to US$ 3.1 billion in 2025, up from US$ 2.2 billion in 2024, supporting capacity expansion and productivity improvements that brought total port capacity to 109 million TEU.
For 2026, capital expenditure is budgeted at approximately US$ 3 billion, with priority allocations directed toward projects at Jebel Ali, Drydocks World, Tuna Tekra in India, London Gateway in the United Kingdom, Ndayane in Senegal and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
On sustainability, DP World reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 14% against a 2022 baseline, with approximately 67% of global electricity now sourced from renewable energy.
Chairman Essa Kazim attributed the results to the strength of the group’s diversified portfolio and its ability to adapt as global supply chains reconfigure amid heightened geopolitical and trade uncertainty.
Group CEO Yuvraj Narayan emphasised the company’s focus on operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation and customer-centric execution as the foundations for sustained long-term growth.
