Strong Segmental Growth for 9M 2025

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.

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.

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).
