Strong Segmental Growth for 9M 2025

Integrated Logistics: The segment delivered robust performance, with revenues rising 17% YoY to $1,955 million (AED7,179 million), reflecting strong demand and strategic growth in key areas. As a result, EBITDA rose by 26% YoY to $635 million (AED2,331 million), highlighting the segment’s significant contribution to the Company’s overall results. Growth was driven by high utilization and favorable rates for Jack-Up Barges (JUBs), improved margins across the Integrated Logistics Solution Platform (ILSP), and increased chartering activity. Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) project, including G-Island also contributed meaningfully to revenue expansion.

Shipping: The segment achieved remarkable growth, with revenues soaring 99% YoY to $1,481 million (AED5,440 million), largely driven by the consolidation of revenue from the Navig8 tanker fleet. Despite the challenging market conditions compared to 9M 2024, Shipping EBITDA rose 39% YoY to $438 million (AED1,608 million), reflecting strong operational execution. A solid EBITDA margin of 30% further underscores the Company’s operational resilience.

 

Services: The segment continues to strengthen ADNOC L&S’s diversified business model, with revenues increasing 7% YoY to $269 million (AED986 million). EBITDA rose 12% YoY to $51 million (AED188 million), primarily driven by higher volumes at the Borouge Container Terminal and the share of profit from Navig8’s bunkering business (Integr8).
