AD Ports Group posts strong Q1 results with revenue up 18% and total net profit up 16%

Building on the momentum of 2024’s record financial performance, Abu Dhabi-based AD Ports Group reports having started 2025 with impressive double-digit growth, driven by the Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones (EC&FZ), and Maritime & Shipping clusters.

Revenue reached AED 4.60 billion in Q1 2025, growing by an impressive 18% year-on-year. Group EBITDA amounted to AED 1.14 billion in Q1 2025, translating into a 9% y-o-y growth, driven by a 17% increase in Ports, 10% in Maritime & Shipping, and 7% in EC&FZ. Total Net Profit soared 16% y-o-y to AED 464 million, mainly driven by the operating performance.

Capt. Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, said: “The positive momentum from our record 2024 financial results continued into the first quarter of 2025, as our resilient and value-adding business ecosystem of interrelated trade, transport, and logistics businesses weathered prevailing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties to drive strong, double-digit growth in revenue and net profit.

“The Q1 solid growth was driven by our Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones, and Maritime & Shipping clusters, which continue to benefit from our agile response to ongoing geopolitical crises and our ongoing investments in core infrastructure amidst our international expansion.

“We will continue to follow this prudent, profit-enhancing ‘intelligent internationalisation’ strategy this year as we carefully navigate the turbulence around us to maintain course and position of AD Ports Group, and Abu Dhabi, as world leaders in sustainable trade, transport, logistics, and economic development, drawing on the latest AI and technology innovations.”
