AD Ports Group records Dhs2.1b net profit in '25 on strong growth

AD Ports Group on Friday announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the full year ending 31st December 2025, recording revenue of Dhs20.8 billion, up 20 per cent YoY, and net profit of Dhs2.1 billion, up 17 per cent.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 12 per cent to Dhs5.1 billion, with a margin of 24.4 per cent. Fourth-quarter net profit increased 18 per cent year-on-year to Dhs584 million.

Operationally, the strong growth was driven by container terminals' throughput, both domestically and internationally, the addition of 3.3 km2 of net new industrial land leases in Khalifa Economic Zones - Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), with resulting continued strong demand for warehouses, staff accommodation, and gas provision.

The group also recorded strong activity across all maritime businesses - Shipping, Offshore & Subsea, Marine Services, and Drydocking & Shipbuilding - and the launch of the Ro-Ro shipping JV, UGR.

In 2026, Ports and Economic Cities & Free Zones will remain the backbone of the group's infrastructure-led growth strategy, whilst Maritime & Shipping and Logistics will continue to build scale to connect and support the infrastructure assets and offer customers a one-stop shop with end-to-end solutions.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, said that 2025 marked another year of record financial performance, supported by operational expansion and the continued development of the group's integrated business model.
