International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) chair and president Enrique K. Razon Jr. hailed the company’s “excellent performance” in the first nine months of 2025, as strong global trade lifted revenues and throughput across its international ports.

The port operator’s net income climbed 19 percent to $751.56 million as revenues from port operations grew 16 percent to $2.34 billion, powered by record container volumes across its global terminals. 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 17 percent to $1.54 billion, reflecting healthy margins and efficient operations.

“As we continue to invest in strategic expansions and pursue new opportunities across the Americas, Asia, and EMEA, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth and innovation throughout our global network,” Razon said in a statement on Thursday. 

“Looking ahead, ICTSI is well-positioned to build on this momentum and deliver long-term value,” he added.
