DP World closed 2025 with the strongest financial performance in its history, defying global trade uncertainty to post results that exceeded expectations across every key metric.
Revenue surged 22% to $24.4 billion. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 18% to $6.4 billion. Net profit jumped 32.2% to $1.96 billion, while operating cash flow reached $6.3 billion, up 14%. Total gross throughput grew 5.8% to 93.4 million TEU, with revenue per TEU rising 8.5%.
"Our diversified portfolio, disciplined capital allocation, and focus on high-yield cargo enabled us to deliver resilient earnings and strong cash flow," said Chairman Essa Kazim. Group CEO Yuvraj Narayan credited the "One DP World" integrated model — unifying Ports, Logistics and Marine Services under a single strategic vision.
DP World invested $3.1 billion in capex in 2025, expanding port capacity to 109 million TEU. The 2026 budget targets $3 billion, focused on Jebel Ali, London Gateway, Ndayane (Senegal) and Jeddah.
In the GCC, Jebel Ali recorded 9% volume growth, while Saudi Arabia's new $800 million Jeddah terminal more than doubled capacity to 4 million TEU. On sustainability, Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell 14%, with 67% of electricity now from renewables.
DP World enters 2026 from a position of undeniable strength — and with a clear mandate to keep the world's supply chains moving.
