Dubai, August 14, 2025 – DP World has announced record-breaking results for the first half of 2025, highlighting the company’s ability to thrive despite global trade challenges and geopolitical uncertainty.
Exceptional Financial Growth
The group reported a 20% increase in revenue, reaching over $11 billion, driven by the solid performance of its Ports & Terminals division alongside strategic acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA rose by more than 21% to exceed $3 billion, reflecting strong operational efficiency and profitability. Net profit attributable to shareholders doubled year-on-year, climbing to $532 million.
Container throughput grew steadily, with a 5.6% increase on a like-for-like basis, handling over 45 million TEUs globally in the first six months of the year. Terminals under the company’s direct control saw even stronger growth of 7.5%, handling more than 27 million TEUs.

A Resilient Outlook
Despite ongoing geopolitical risks and disruptions in major shipping routes, DP World remains confident about the remainder of the year. The company’s integrated logistics approach, global network, and continued investments are expected to sustain growth and ensure a robust full-year performance.
