Aramex Posts Record Quarterly Revenue of Dh1.98 Billion as Freight Forwarding Grows

Profit rose faster than sales. Earnings before interest and taxes rose 46 percent to Dh94 million in the quarter, and net profit jumped 817 percent to Dh48 million, the company said in its results announcement. The large percentage gain comes from a very low base a year earlier. Aramex said keeping operating costs and overheads under control while revenue grew supported the improvement.

For the first nine months of 2026, revenue reached Dh5.41 billion, up 16 percent on the same period of 2025. Nine-month EBIT rose 65 percent to Dh233 million and net profit climbed 759 percent to Dh112 million.

Freight forwarding again drove growth, posting another record quarter. Aramex credited steady customer demand, pricing discipline and its multimodal offering, which combines air, sea and land transport. Domestic express, international express, and logistics and supply chain solutions also grew revenue from a year earlier.

The results come during a year in which shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been heavily disrupted by the regional war. That has forced Gulf cargo onto alternative routes and raised demand for companies that can arrange freight across several transport modes.

Group CEO Amadou Diallo called the second consecutive record quarter another important milestone. He said the profit gains reflected the company's focus on disciplined execution and operating efficiency.

Diallo said management remains focused on Accelerate28, its transformation programme, with the aim of lifting profitability and strengthening capabilities for long-term growth. Even after the jump, quarterly net profit is less than 3 percent of revenue, and investors will be watching whether the programme can widen those margins.
