We see robust growth in Menzies and Agility Logistics Parks. Tristar delivered steady top-line growth and operational ramp-up; however, the lower-margin profile of this growth, compounded by challenges in its Maritime segment, has limited its EBIT expansion. Nevertheless, our operational momentum and underlying business fundamentals remain strong.'Sultan added: 'Our diversified portfolio, spanning critical logistics infrastructure across high growth markets, enables us to navigate global economic headwinds effectively. We continue to execute on our strategy, focusing on disciplined growth and value creation.'Controlled SegmentFor Q2 2025, the consolidated EBIT of the controlled businesses was $96 million; EBITDA was $179 million; and revenue reached $1,200 million.

The 17.3% revenue growth over Q2 2024 was mainly driven by the new retail fuel business in Sri Lanka, which began operations in the second half of 2024. Although the retail fuel business is a low margin business today, Tristar is gaining a strong market presence and expects profit margins to improve in 2026 as efficiencies are realized, and the network expands.

EBIT stood at $10 million.Strong demand for warehousing in Saudi Arabia continues to drive occupancy rates above 90%, particularly Riyadh. ALP's ongoing development of 226K SQM of new warehousing space is progressing and on schedule; some units have already been delivered, and the remainder are scheduled for delivery during the remaining months of 2025.The GCC warehousing sector is experiencing robust demand driven by e-commerce growth, 3PL expansion, and government-led industrial diversification programs.

Agility Global's DSV investment value has increased by 12% YTD.● Agility Global is an investor in Reem Mall on Abu Dhabi's Reem Island, Abu Dhabi's latest signature shopping, dining, and entertainment family destination, spanning around 183.4K sqm of Gross Leasable Area (GLA).
