Logistics company DP World reported record revenue and earnings for the 2025 financial year, thanks in large part to strong performances across its terminal operations in the Asian Pacific.
According to a release from the company, DP World saw its revenue increase by 22% year-over-year to $24.4 billion, and its earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization rise by 18% to $6.4 billion. It also reported a 5.8% bump in total gross throughput to 93.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units.
“In an environment defined by heightened uncertainty and changing trade dynamics, our diversified portfolio, disciplined capital allocation and focus on high-yield cargo enabled us to deliver resilient earnings and strong cash flow," DP World chairman H.E. Essa Kazim said in a March 12 news release. "These results reflect the strength of our integrated platform and our ability to adapt as supply chains reconfigure.”
DP World reported $3.1 billion in capital expenditure investments in 2025, primarily for capacity expansions and productivity improvements, especially in the Asian Pacific region. That included $100 million to boost capacity at Manila South Harbour in the Philippines, and $400 million to extend the rail terminal at Port Botany in Sydney Australia.
Despite a strong 2025 from a financial perspective, DP World has been mired in controversy so far in 2026, following allegations that now-former CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem had exchanged lewd messages with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for more than a decade. At least two major DP World partners suspended investments in the company after the release of emails between bin Sulayem and Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice, before the CEO was eventually ousted and replaced by Kazim in mid February.
