Hapag-Lloyd AG reported a Group EBITDA of €3.2 billion ($3.6 billion) and Group EBIT of €1.0 billion ($1.1 billion) for 2025, with net profit at €0.9 billion ($1.0 billion).
Results were at the top of forecasts but below 2024 levels due to lower freight rates and higher operational costs.
In the Liner Shipping segment, revenues rose to €18.3 billion ($20.6 billion), while EBITDA and EBIT fell to €3.1 billion ($3.5 billion) and €0.9 billion ($1.0 billion) respectively.
Volumes increased 8 per cent to 13.5 million TEU, supported by the Gemini network, though average freight rates declined 8 per cent to $1,376/TEU amid rising capacity and trade imbalances.

The Terminal & Infrastructure segment posted revenues of €455 million ($514 million), with EBITDA stable at €134 million ($152 million) and EBIT at €58 million ($66 million).
Hapag-Lloyd will propose a dividend of €3.00 ($3.47) per share, totaling €0.5 billion ($0.545 billion).
Looking ahead, the Group expects 2026 EBITDA of $1.1–3.1 billion (€0.9–2.6 billion) and EBIT of $-1.5–0.5 billion (€-1.3–0.4 billion), amid volatile freight rates and Middle East conflicts.
Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd, said: “Our Gemini network delivered 90 per cent schedule reliability and record-high customer satisfaction in 2025. In 2026, we will leverage Gemini synergies and expand our terminals portfolio while managing rising operational costs.”
