AD Ports Group Achieves AED 596 Million Net Profit In Q3 2025 Amid Revenue Growth

AD Ports Group has announced a significant increase in its revenue, reaching AED5.39 billion in the third quarter of 2025. This marks a 16 percent rise compared to the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by the Maritime & Shipping, Ports, and Economic Cities & Free Zones sectors.

Net profit for the group saw a substantial boost, climbing 34 percent year-on-year to AED596 million. This increase was largely due to a tax reversal related to the UAE corporate tax filing for 2024. Meanwhile, EBITDA remained steady at AED1.20 billion, resulting in an EBITDA Margin of 22.3 percent.

The group's operating profitability faced some challenges due to restructuring within the former Digital cluster. Despite this, profit before tax rose by 17 percent year-on-year to AED595 million. This improvement was supported by an 18 percent reduction in finance costs and a reversal of a previous impairment charge.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, commented on the results: "Our record Q3 net profit, the highest since our public listing in February 2022 underscores the ongoing success of our profitable, but prudent ‘intelligent internationalisation’ strategy of positioning AD Ports Group for leadership in some of the world’s fastest-growing trade corridors, in addition to our steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers."

In Q3 2025, AD Ports Group experienced notable increases across several areas. Port container throughput and general cargo volumes saw robust growth. Additionally, there were significant rises in industrial land leases and container feeder shipping volumes.

Al Shamisi also addressed current global challenges: "Whilst the backdrop of regional conflicts and tariff volatility remains a reality of the current global operating environment, AD Ports Group aims to stay one step ahead of the turbulence, driving forward its profitable expansion, and the sustainable transition of our industry, to fulfil our prime mission, which is to enable sustainable trade, transport, logistics, and economic development for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the world."

The group's strategic focus on expanding its influence in rapidly growing trade corridors continues to yield positive results. Despite external challenges such as regional conflicts and fluctuating tariffs, AD Ports Group remains committed to advancing its operations sustainably.
