Strong Revenue Growth
AD Ports Group delivered a robust financial performance in Q2 2025, posting a 15% year-on-year revenue increase to AED 4.83 billion (US$270 million). The growth was primarily fueled by the company’s ports, economic cities and free zones (EC&FZ), and maritime and shipping clusters, showcasing the strength of its diversified operations.

Solid Profitability Despite Higher Taxes
Gross operating profit climbed 9% to AED 1.17 billion, while profit before tax rose 5% to AED 519 million. Net profit remained steady at AED 445 million, reflecting the impact of higher taxes but also underlining the company’s resilience in maintaining profitability in a challenging global environment.

Strategic Capital Investments
The group’s capital expenditure stood at AED 928 million, with key investments directed towards maritime, EC&FZ, and ports projects. Notably, capex intensity declined to 19% from 28% a year earlier, signaling improved capital efficiency and a sharper focus on high-impact growth areas.

Improved Cash Flow Performance
Operating cash flow nearly doubled to AED 1.14 billion, while free cash flow turned positive, marking a significant improvement in liquidity and operational efficiency. This strong cash generation positions the company well for future investments and expansion.

CEO’s Outlook on Growth and Sustainability
Group CEO Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi attributed the strong results to the company’s diversified five-cluster model, which has enabled it to navigate geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges effectively. He highlighted AD Ports Group’s international expansion into regions such as the Red Sea and Central Asia, reaffirming its ambition to become a global leader in sustainable trade, transport, logistics, and economic development.

Looking Ahead
With its solid performance in both Q2 and H1 2025, AD Ports Group remains well-positioned for continued growth. Its focus on sustainable infrastructure, strategic investments, and global market expansion suggests a strong trajectory for the remainder of the year and beyond.
