The 11 percent increase in consolidated volume underscores the strength of our customer relationships and the essential role our terminals play in the supply chains of their respective economies. Our focus on operational efficiency, targeted capital allocation, and prudent financial management supported continued margin expansion and strong cash generation.

ICTSI also reported audited consolidated financial results for 2025 posting revenue from port operations of USD3.23 billion, an increase of 18 percent from the USD2.74 billion reported for the same period in 2024; Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of USD2.14 billion, 21 percent higher than the USD1.78 billion generated in the same period last year; and net income attributable to equity holders of USD1.05 billion, 23 percent more than the USD849.80 million earned in the same period last year – primarily due to higher operating income; the growth rate was partially tapered by the one-off income from the settlement of legal claims at ICTSI Oregon in 2024. Excluding the impact of nonrecurring income and charges; new operations in Iloilo, Philippines and the discontinued operations in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2024; and new operations in Batam, Indonesia in 2025, net income attributable to equity holders would have grown 26 percent. Diluted earnings per share increased 25 percent to USD0.510 from USD0.407 in 2024.
ICTSI handled consolidated volume of 14,501,189 TEUs in 2025, 11 percent higher than the 13,066,949 TEUs handled in 2024. The volume growth was due to improvement in trade activities across all regions, particularly the recovery in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Excluding the impact of new and discontinued operations, the Group’s consolidated volume would still have been up 10 percent.
Gross revenues from port operations in 2025 grew 18 percent to USD3.23 billion from USD2.74 billion reported in 2024 mainly due to volume growth with a more favourable container mix, tariff adjustments, and higher revenues from ancillary services at certain terminals marginally reduced by the unfavourable foreign exchange translation impact mainly from the depreciation of Mexican Peso (MXN)-, Brazilian Real (BRL)- and Australian Dollar (AUD)- based revenues. Excluding the impact of new and discontinued operations, the Group’s consolidated gross revenues would still have increased 18 percent.
Consolidated cash operating expenses in 2025 were 11 percent higher at USD807.08 million compared to USD727.25 million in 2024. The increase in cash operating expenses was mainly due to higher volume, including increases related to the growth in revenue generating ancillary services at certain terminals, as well as increases in government-mandated and contracted salary rate adjustments and benefits. This was reduced by continuous cost optimization measures and favourable foreign exchange effects mainly of Brazilian Real (BRL)-, Mexican Peso (MXN)-, and Australian Dollar (AUD)- based expenses. Excluding the impact of new and discontinued operations, consolidated cash operating expenses would have increased 10 percent.
Consolidated EBITDA in 2025 increased 21 percent to USD2.14 billion from USD1.78 billion in 2024. Consequently, EBITDA margin improved to 66 percent from 65 percent.
Capital expenditures, excluding capitalized borrowing costs, amounted to USD650.44 million in 2025. These were mainly utilized for the ongoing expansions at Contecon Manzanillo S.A. (CMSA) in Mexico, Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), Manila North Harbour Port, Inc. (MNHPI), and Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) in the Philippines, ICTSI DR Congo S.A. (IDRC) in Democratic Republic of Congo and ICTSI Rio in Brazil; the new project at South Luzon Container Terminal (SLCT) in Batangas, Philippines; equipment acquisitions and upgrades at certain terminals; and the upfront payment for Batu Ampar Container Terminal (BACT) in Batam, Indonesia. Excluding the upfront payment for the new project in BACT, organic CAPEX would have amounted to USD572.49 million. The Group’s estimated capital expenditures for 2026 is USD740 million which will be utilized mainly for the completion of phase 3B expansion at CMSA in Mexico; ongoing expansions at MICT, MNHPI, MCT, and SLCT in the Philippines, ICTSI Rio in Brazil, and IDRC in DRC; various other equipment acquisitions and upgrades; and maintenance capex; plus four new expansion projects at Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana, SA de CV (OPC) in Honduras, Victoria International Container Terminal Ltd. (VICT) in Australia, Contecon Guayaquil S.A. (CGSA) in Ecuador and phase 4 at CMSA, Mexico.
