The full-year DPU for the fiscal year 2025 has dropped to HKD 0.115, down from HKD 0.122 in the fiscal year 2024. The trust's revenue for the fiscal year 2025 increased by 2.6% year-on-year to HKD 11.9 billion, primarily due to a 7.1% growth in container throughput at the Yantian International Container Terminal in Shenzhen. However, the total container throughput at the Kwai Tsing Terminal in Hong Kong declined by 6.4%. The trust's net profit was HKD 748.3 million, an increase of 15.1% year-on-year Hutchison Port Holdings Trust announced a distribution per unit (DPU) of HKD 0.065 for the second half of the year ending December 31, 2025, a decrease of 9.7% year-on-year. This brings the trust's full-year DPU for the fiscal year 2025 down to HKD 0.115, compared to HKD 0.122 for the fiscal year 2024. The trust's revenue for the fiscal year 2025 grew by 2.6% year-on-year to HKD 11.9 billion (approximately SGD 1.9 billion), primarily due to a 7.1% increase in container throughput at the Yantian International Container Terminal (YICT) in Shenzhen, China. The growth was mainly driven by an increase in exports of fully loaded containers, as well as a rise in returned empty containers and transshipment volumes. However, the total container throughput at the Kwai Tsing Terminal in Hong Kong declined by 6.4%, mainly affected by a decrease in empty containers and transshipment volumes. At the same time, other operating income increased by 13.3% year-on-year to HKD 68.5 million, mainly due to gains from the revaluation of financial assets denominated in RMB at the Yantian Terminal in 2025. #### Further Reading Hutchison Port Holdings Trust's net profit surged nearly 68% year-on-year in the first half Overall, Hutchison Port Holdings Trust reported a net profit of HKD 748.3 million for the fiscal year 2025, an increase of 15.1% year-on-year. The trust noted that the port industry is facing a "complex situation," with constantly changing trade and tariff policies creating uncertainty in the outlook. It is noteworthy that exports from the Yantian Terminal to the United States fell by 9% in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2025, as ongoing uncertainties prompted companies to adopt a "China +1" strategy, diversifying supply chains beyond China. This may lead to a gradual restructuring of Hutchison Port Holdings Trust's shipping routes and cargo flows. Additionally, the further tariff measures implemented this year are expected to dampen demand for Chinese products and exacerbate market volatility. The trust also anticipates that growth in the European market will weaken amid geopolitical tensions.
