AD Ports Group reported a record net profit of US$ million for the third quarter of 2025, marking a 34% year-on-year increase and underscoring the company’s continued momentum across its port, logistics, and maritime businesses.
The strong results highlight the group’s ability to expand revenue streams, execute on its investment strategy, and capture growing demand across regional and global trade routes.
Revenue for the quarter rose across key segments, supported by higher container throughput, expanded logistics contracts, and increased activity in its maritime services division. The performance reflects both organic growth and the impact of recent acquisitions that have broadened the group’s service portfolio.
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, AD Ports Group, said: “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.
"In Q3 2025, our Group once again grew stronger, and more profitable, as we recorded robust increases in ports container throughput and general cargo volumes, industrial land leases, and container feeder shipping volumes."
Streamlined Corporate Structure
In terms of financial reporting, the Group has simplified and streamlined its corporate structure by transforming its Digital cluster to a federated model in order to better support its growth strategy, efficiency and performance, particularly accelerating AI initiatives and deployment of Agentic AI across its core operations.
The company noted that the profit jump was driven by operational efficiency programs, improved asset utilization, and the scaling of new business lines.
The group’s logistics arm continued to deliver strong returns as demand for integrated supply-chain services remained high, particularly from industrial and energy clients.
Its ports segment saw steady uplift as trade flows through the UAE remained resilient, while new regional partnerships contributed to additional volume.
The maritime division also played a major role in the quarterly performance. The expansion of offshore services, vessel operations, and marine support activities helped boost margins, reinforcing the group’s position as one of the region’s fastest-growing maritime operators.
Major infrastructure projects, including port expansions and industrial zone developments, remain on track. Management confirmed that capital expenditures will continue into 2026, focusing on capacity building, technology upgrades, and international market entries.
2025 and Beyond
Looking ahead, the group expects demand to remain strong across its core operations. Executives pointed to improving trade activity across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia - regions where the company has steadily grown its footprint - as key catalysts for continued performance.
AD Ports Group says it will keep pushing for digital transformation across its network, including advanced port management systems and AI-driven logistics solutions aimed at streamlining operations and improving customer experience.
With a record quarter behind it and a solid pipeline of projects ahead, the company enters the final stretch of 2025 in a strong financial position. The 34% year-on-year increase in net profit marks one of its best quarterly performances to date and reinforces its status as a key driver of the UAE’s trade and logistics sector.
