Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) increased Group revenue by 9.9% to €1.76 billion in 2025, based on preliminary unaudited figures. EBIT rose 19.5% to €161 million.
Tax-related one-off effects weighed heavily on earnings. Group profit after tax and minority interests fell to €10 million, down from €33 million a year earlier. Of this, €1 million came from the Port Logistics subgroup.
Due to the low net profit, the Executive Board will propose no dividend for the 2025 class A share.
Throughput and transport volumes grow
Container throughput at HHLA’s seaports rose 5.4% to 6.3 million TEU. Intermodal transport volumes increased 10.9% to nearly 2.0 million TEU.
CEO Jeroen Eijsink said HHLA achieved solid growth in container handling and transport despite a challenging market environment. He stressed the need to further optimize processes to strengthen performance.
Port Logistics: Higher revenue, lower net profit
In the listed Port Logistics subgroup, revenue grew 10.1% to €1.72 billion. EBIT climbed 22.8% to €145 million.
Business benefited from higher handling and transport volumes. However, profit after tax and minority interests dropped to €1 million due to tax-related one-off effects, mainly impairments of deferred tax assets. Earnings per class A share fell to €0.02 from €0.32.
Real Estate: Stable revenue, slightly lower EBIT
The Real Estate subgroup reported stable revenue of €46 million. EBIT declined 4.4% to €15 million due to one-off non-operating expenses in the third quarter.
Profit after tax and minority interests reached €9 million. Earnings per class S share stood at €3.20.
HHLA will publish its audited Annual Report for 2025 on 26 March 2026.
