Cash generated from operating activities increased by 18.9 percent to $5.5 billion in 2024 ($4.6 billion in 2023).

DP World Group Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem commented, “We are proud to report record revenue of $20.0 billion and record EBITDA of $5.5 billion for 2024, a remarkable achievement given the complex geopolitical landscape.
