Dubai – Mubasher: Aramex announced group revenue of AED 6.36 billion in 2025, signaling 1% year-on-year (YoY) rise compared to AED 6.32 billion in 2024, according to a press release.
In the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025, the revenue was steady at AED 1.70 billion, boosted by record-breaking revenue in December which marked the highest monthly revenue in Aramex’s history, in addition to highlighting strong seasonal demand and effective operational execution.
The company’s revenue mix continues to evolve as businesses shift supply chains closer to end markets. This structural transition has led to consistent growth in intra-regional activity across the group’s Domestic Express, Freight Forwarding, and Logistics products, offsetting the softness in long-haul International Express.
Logistics delivered the strongest performance, achieving 18% revenue growth for 2025 and 13% growth in Q4-25, while Domestic Express revenues increased 9% YoY in 2025 and 8% in Q4. In addition, Freight Forwarding revenues grew 4% in 2025, with Q4 revenues declining marginally YoY.
Aramex stated that geographically, the GCC and MENAT regions remained the strongest contributors, supported by resilient economic activity and sustained intra-regional trade flows.
Oceania showed clear signs of operational turnaround during Q4-25, with improving performance and positive momentum expected to continue into 2026.
Aramex Acting Group CEO Commentary
“Our full-year 2025 results reflect the resilience of Aramex’s diversified business model and the continued execution of our transformation program and product strategy,” Nicolas Sibuet, Acting Group CEO of Aramex, said.
Sibuet noted: “While nearshoring and changes in global trade flows continued to reshape our revenue mix and margin profile, we delivered performance in line with our expectations, supported by disciplined cost control and ongoing progress under our Accelerate28 transformation program.”
The official added: “The record revenue performance achieved in December highlights the strength of our network and our people during peak season.”
He concluded: “As we move into 2026, our focus remains firmly on unlocking the full value of our transformation initiatives, strengthening product-led performance, and positioning Aramex for sustainable, long-term growth.”
Profitability & Costs
Gross profit for 2025 amounted to AED 1.45 billion, down 4% YoY, with a corresponding gross profit margin of 22.8%, compared to 23.9% in 2024.
In Q4-25, gross profit was AED 385 million, down 3% YoY, with a margin of 22.7%.
The decline reflects the lower contribution from higher-margin international express product along with continued inflationary pressures, and investment in domestic and logistics infrastructure.
From an overhead perspective, costs remained well controlled on a normalized basis, with growth capped and broadly in line with 2024 despite ongoing transformation activities and the onboarding of new business.
Normalized EBIT stood at AED 237.70 million for 2025 and AED 68.4 million in Q4, excluding one-off costs related to the Accelerate28 transformation program, restructuring initiatives and ADQ acquisition-related expenses.
Normalized net profit for 2025 reached AED 85 million, compared to AED 141.80 million in 2024, in line with management forecasts and reflective of the ongoing recalibration in product profitability.
Normalized net profit for Q4-25 amounted to AED 24.90 million, compared to AED 65.70 million in Q4-24.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Aramex enters 2026 with a clear focus on unlocking the full value of its Accelerate28 transformation program.
With the appointment of a new Group CEO, Aramex will reinforce its product-led strategy, emphasizing customer-centric innovation, margin optimization, and investment in scalable infrastructure.
Nearshoring and regionalization are expected to continue shaping demand patterns, supporting Domestic Express, Logistics and intra-regional Freight Forwarding. The company anticipates continued strength in regional trade flows and stable execution across core segments, supported by improving performance in Oceania and disciplined cost management across the group.
In the first nine months (9M) of 2025, Aramex posted AED 13.06 million net profits in addition to AED 4.65 billion in revenue.
