DUBAI: DP World reported robust financial results for the first half of 2025, with revenue rising 20.4% year-over-year to $11.24 billion and adjusted EBITDA climbing 21.4% to $3.03 billion, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions.
The global logistics giant attributed its performance to strong growth in its Ports & Terminals and Marine Services divisions, as well as strategic acquisitions across Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. Container volumes grew 6.7% globally, with standout contributions from Jebel Ali (UAE), London Gateway (UK), and new developments in Senegal and India.
Cash generated from operations surged to $2.63 billion, up 25.6% from the prior year, while net profit attributable to shareholders doubled to $532 million. The company also strengthened its balance sheet with the issuance of a $1.5 billion 10-year Sukuk and maintained its investment-grade ratings from Fitch and Moody’s.
DP World expanded its freight forwarding footprint to nearly 300 locations, covering over 90% of global trade lanes. CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said the company remains “well-positioned to meet rising demand for customised, end-to-end logistics solutions” and is confident in delivering strong full-year results.
Capital expenditure reached $1.08 billion in H1, with a full-year budget of $2.5 billion targeting strategic assets in the UAE, UK, India, and Africa. The company also reported progress on its sustainability goals, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 16% and sourcing 64% of electricity from renewables.
