HHLA Reports Growth Amid Challenging Market Conditions

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) recorded moderate growth for the 2025 financial year, despite global economic challenges. Container throughput increased by 5.4% to 6,295 thousand TEU, while container transport rose by 10.9% to 1,982 thousand TEU. Additionally, the company's revenue climbed by 9.9% to €1,756.2 million, and its EBIT saw a 19.5% rise to €160.5 million.

HHLA's CEO, Jeroen Eijsink, highlighted the company's commitment to operational growth through reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. In light of global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and disruptions in supply chains, HHLA aims to continue its growth trend in 2026 by focusing on automation and expanded service offerings.

A significant 19.2% increase in throughput was noted at international container terminals, particularly in Italy and with resumed operations at Odessa's terminal. However, tax-related one-offs affected its profit after tax, which decreased to €9.8 million. No dividend will be paid for 2025 due to these impacts.
