AD Ports Group posted robust financial results for Q2 and H1 2025, with revenue rising 15% year-on-year to AED4.83 billion (US$270 million) in Q2, driven by its ports, economic cities and free zones (EC&FZ), and maritime and shipping clusters. Quarterly gross operating profit grew 9% to AED1.17 billion, while profit before tax rose 5% to AED519 million. Net profit remained steady at AED445 million, impacted by higher taxes.
Capex stood at AED928 million, mainly invested in maritime, EC&FZ, and ports, with capex intensity falling to 19% from 28% a year earlier. Operating cash flow nearly doubled to AED1.14 billion, with free cash flow turning positive.
Group CEO Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi credited the strong results to the company’s diversified five-cluster model, which helped navigate geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges while driving international expansion in regions like the Red Sea and Central Asia. He said the group remains on track to position itself as a leader in sustainable trade, transport, logistics, and economic development.
