CMA CGM reports resilient financial results for Q3 2025
The Board of Directors of the CMA CGM Group met yesterday under the chairmanship of Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to review the financial statements for the third quarter of 2025.
Revenue amounted to 14,0 billion, down 11,3% compared to Q3 2024. EBITDA reached 3,0 billion, a decrease of 40,5% compared to the previous year. The margin stood at 21,0%, down 10,3 points.
The company said the year 2025 continues to be significantly impacted by the geopolitical context and trade tensions, particularly between the United States and its key trading partners. While performance declined compared to the previous year, due to a slowdown in maritime activity, the Group's results improved quarter-on-quarter following a second quarter that was marked by an almost complete halt in trade between China and the US. Disruptions related to the situation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden have continued to pose numerous operational challenges, it added.
Commenting on the results for the period, Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the CMA CGM Group, said: “In a global environment that remains highly uncertain, our Group continues to demonstrate resilience and discipline. Shipping remains solid, our terminals are gaining momentum, and air freight continues to perform well, illustrating, together with logistics, the growing complementarity across our activities.
“The months ahead will likely be marked by increasing capacity in our industry and softer demand across the market. CMA CGM will continue to adapt, guided by our long-term vision and our constant commitment to serving our customers.”
