Abu dhabi: AD Ports Group today reported that its revenue soared 16 percent year-on-year (YoY) to AED5.39 billion in Q3 2025, driven by the Maritime and Shipping, Ports, and Economic Cities and Free Zones clusters. Total net profit grew by a robust 34 percent YoY to AED596 million on the back of a tax reversal related to the UAE corporate tax filing for 2024.
According to Emirates News Agency, EBITDA remained stable at AED1.20 billion in Q3 2025, implying an EBITDA Margin of 22.3 percent. Quarterly operating profitability was impacted by the restructuring of the former Digital cluster. Profit before tax stood at AED595 million, up 17 percent YoY, supported by an 18 percent decline in finance costs coupled with a reversal of a previous impairment charge.
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, expressed that the record Q3 net profit, the highest since their public listing in February 2022, highlights the ongoing success of their 'intelligent internationalisation' strategy. This strategy positions AD Ports Group for leadership in some of the world's fastest-growing trade corridors, in addition to their commitment to delivering value to customers.
He further noted that in Q3 2025, the Group saw increases in port container throughput, general cargo volumes, industrial land leases, and container feeder shipping volumes. Despite challenges such as regional conflicts and tariff volatility, AD Ports Group aims to continue its profitable expansion and sustainable transition, fulfilling its mission to enable sustainable trade, transport, logistics, and economic development for Abu Dhabi and the world.
