Record results for DP World

[ March 12, 2026   //   ]

DP World announced record revenue in 2025, up 22% to $24.4 billion, and adjusted EBITDA up 18% to $6.4 billion, with strong performance across Ports & Terminals and Logistics. Profits for the year increased 32.2% to $1.96 billion. Total container throughput increased 5.8% to 93.4 million TEU.

Chairman, Essa Kazim, said: “In an environment defined by heightened uncertainty and changing trade dynamics, our diversified portfolio, disciplined capital allocation and focus on high-yield cargo enabled us to deliver resilient earnings and strong cash flow. These results reflect the strength of our integrated platform and our ability to adapt as supply chains reconfigure.”

Group chief executive, Yuvraj Narayan, added: “Ports & Terminals performed strongly, supported by healthy volumes, improved yield and disciplined cost management, with like-for-like revenue per TEU increasing by 8.5%. In 2025, we unified our Marine Services business under a single DP World brand, strengthening our position as a fully integrated global logistics provider. Across Logistics and our broader trade platform, we continued to scale capabilities and deepen collaboration through our ‘One DP World’ operating model.

“We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence and customer-centric execution—supporting customers through near-term uncertainty while investing selectively to deliver sustainable long-term growth.”

 The Group’s 2026 capex budget is some $3 billion, focused on priority projects including London Gateway (UK), Jebel Ali, Tuna Tekra (India), Ndayane (Senegal) and Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).

European operations contributed strongly to Group performance with record performance across the region. In the UK, London Gateway and Southampton achieved a combined 5 million TEU for the first time, while Antwerp Gateway also hit a new container handling record at 2.47 million TEU.

Last year also saw the launch of the Atlas sea route linking Morocco’s fresh produce with EU and UK markets, a new pan-European logistics service managed from Bucharest, and a new Freight Forwarding service in Sweden. New infrastructure investments included three remote controlled quay cranes at Korfez terminal in Turkiye.
