DP World reported a 13.4% jump in revenue to $24.4 billion in 2025, driven mainly by strong income from ports and terminals, and logistics operations.
The Dubai-based global port operator and logistics company said its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) was up 16.8% to $6.4 billion, while total group gross throughput increased 5.8% to 93.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
Profits, meanwhile, increased 32% to $1.96 billion, reflecting operating leverage and disciplined cost management, the company said in a news release.
These financial percentage changes were computed on a like-for-like at constant currency basis.
“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%.,” Yuvraj Narayan, Group CEO, said.
“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,” he said.
The Return on Capital Employed increased to 9.9% last year from 8.9% in 2024, reflecting stronger earnings despite continued geopolitical and trade uncertainty.
“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,” said H.E. Essa Kazim, DP World chairman of the Board of Directors.
DP World invested $3.1 billion in capital expenditure in 2025, higher than the $2.2 billion rolled out in 2024, to support capacity expansion and productivity enhancements globally.
Port capacity increased to 109 million TEU.
For 2026, the Group’s 2026 capex budget is approximately $3 billion, focused on priority projects including Jebel Ali, Drydocks World, Tuna Tekra (India), London Gateway (UK), Ndayane (Senegal) and Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
On its sustainability program, DP World reported that it reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 14% against a 2022 baseline, while approximately 67% of global electricity is now sourced from renewables.
“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,” Narayan said.
