Ashdod Port Company reported record financial results for 2025, with revenues, profits, and operational performance all reaching new highs despite a complex security environment and increasing competition.
The company posted revenue of NIS 1,232 million, marking a 17% increase compared to 2024, and effectively doubling its value over the past three years. Net profit surged to NIS 394 million, up from NIS 168 million the previous year, while operating profit rose sharply to NIS 155 million, compared to NIS 41 million in 2024.
In addition, Ashdod Port declared a record dividend of NIS 446 million to the State Treasury and awarded employees a NIS 39 million bonus.
Shaul Schneider, Chairman of the Board of Ashdod Port, said, “We have doubled the value of Ashdod Port Company in the past three years. The current year concluded with all-time record profits, and the 2025 financial results are the best since the onset of competition with the new ports. Despite increasing competition and the security situation, we doubled the value of our operational activity while presenting significant improvement across all financial parameters.”
Strong growth across key financial indicators
Ashdod Port’s EBITDA reached NIS 300 million, a 66% increase from NIS 181 million in 2024. The company also reported net financing income of NIS 139 million, compared to NIS 71 million the previous year.
Other income totaled NIS 198 million, reflecting a full reversal of previously recorded impairment in the company’s operational assets, compared to NIS 63 million in 2024, which included only a partial reversal.
Equity as of December 31, 2025, stood at NIS 2,848 million, up from NIS 2,754 million a year earlier, despite the declaration of a NIS 300 million dividend in August 2025.
The company’s performance was driven by growth in cargo volumes and increased revenues from ancillary services, alongside improved financial market conditions.
Continued momentum in Q4
The fourth quarter of 2025 reflected continued growth:
- Net profit: NIS 233 million, compared to approximately NIS 135 million in Q4 2024
- Operating profit: NIS 56 million, compared to NIS 53 million
- Other income: approximately NIS 202 million, compared to approximately NIS 77 million
- Net financing income: NIS 35 million, compared to approximately NIS 30 million
- Revenue in Q4 reached NIS 330 million, continuing a steady upward trend throughout the year.
Activity across all segments
The port’s strong results were supported by activity across all operational segments:
- Container segment: 728,000 TEUs in 2025, compared to 681,000 TEUs in 2024 — a 7% increase, with a 39.7% market share
- Vehicle segment: approximately 103,000 vehicles unloaded, compared to approximately 125,000 in 2024
- Bulk segment: 9,347 thousand tons handled, compared to 9,231 thousand tons — market shares of 52.4% and 53.2%
- General cargo: 1,327 thousand tons, compared to 968 thousand tons — driven by recovery in the construction sector
- Cruise activity remained suspended due to the security situation, though the port is preparing for its return. In June 2025, six Israeli ships that had been abroad during Operation “Am Kelvaya” docked at Ashdod Port.
Leadership highlights resilience
Nissan Levy, CEO of Ashdod Port Company, said, “The 2025 financial results of Ashdod Port Company reflect resilience, against the backdrop of more than two and a half years of a complex security situation. We navigated the challenges, supplied essential needs to the economy, and contributed our part to the national security effort. The company’s cash flow reached NIS 300 million this year, double the current year’s budget. We estimate that once the operation concludes, demand levels are expected to grow, and we are preparing accordingly.”
Government officials praise performance
Minister of Transport and Cabinet Member (Res. Brig. Gen.) Miri Regev said, “Ashdod Port is a strategic anchor of the Israeli economy, and in a challenging security year it once again demonstrated its strength, stability, and ability to keep the economy moving forward. The impressive results are a testament to the professional work, responsible management, and dedication of the port’s employees.”
Minister for Regional Cooperation and Head of the Government Companies Authority, Dudi Amsalem, added, “The impressive financial results of Ashdod Port for 2025 are a testament to professional management and uncompromising dedication.
