Logistics giant achieves top-end of financial guidance despite lower freight rates caused by supply overcapacity
AP Moller-Maersk has released its financial results for 2025, noting that it delivered a ”strong performance in all businesses” in 2025.
Maersk said that volume growth, operational execution and proactive cost measures helped results reach the top-end of its financial guidance for the year.
Full-year revenue stood at US$53.99bn, down from US$55.48bn in 2024.
EBITDA was US$9.5bn (US$12.1bn in 2024), and EBIT came in at US$3.5bn – falling from US$6.5bn in the previous year but reaching the top-end of the company’s financial guidance.
The logistics group’s ocean business ”drove increased competitiveness” through high asset utilisation and volume growth in line with market at 4.9 per cent, it said, while profitability declined due to lower freight rates caused by supply overcapacity.
”We delivered a strong performance and high value for our customers in a year where supply chains and global trade continued to be reshaped by evolving geopolitics,” said Vincent Clerc, Maersk’s chief executive officer.
”Across our operations, volumes grew and asset utilisation was very high,” he confirmed. ”Our ocean business set a new benchmark for reliability, terminals delivered record results, and logistics and services continued to advance.
”The year highlighted the need to strengthen, and modernise global supply chains and critical infrastructure, further emphasising the relevance of our strategy.
”Our key to success remains to grow in close partnership with our customers, leveraging our unique asset footprint, and a continuous drive for operational excellence and cost discipline,” Clerc added.
