The management and accounts report for 2025 reveals a significant increase in the company’s main financial indicators, notably net profit, which reached R$ 337.778 million, representing a growth of 38.8% compared to the 2024 fiscal year.
Pre-tax profits reached 488.772 million escudos, while EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) reached 1.032 billion escudos, translating to a year-on-year increase of 7.2%.
According to ENAPOR, the positive performance stems mainly from the increase in service provision, which grew by 13.2% compared to the previous year, driven by the dynamics of port activity and the growing demand for the services provided by the company.
Expenses also increased
The company acknowledges, however, that 2025 was also marked by an increase in operating expenses, which grew by 11.1%, in a context of strengthening operational capacity, making investments, and continuously improving services. Even so, management considers that the results achieved demonstrate the company’s ability to generate value sustainably, maintaining a solid trajectory of growth and profitability.
On the operational level, ENAPOR once again recorded record numbers. Cargo handling reached 3,089,336 tons in 2025, representing an annual growth of 3.4% and establishing a new historical record for the company.
Container handling totaled 100,091 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit), registering a 10% increase compared to the previous year. The company highlights this result as a historic milestone for the Ports of Cape Verde, as it was the first time that the barrier of 100,000 TEUs handled in a single fiscal year was surpassed.
Growing Port Activity
The data released by ENAPOR confirms the gradual growth of national port activity, in a period marked by greater dynamism in maritime trade and the recovery of some sectors linked to the blue economy. The company considers that the results also demonstrate the growing importance of Cape Verdean ports as logistical platforms supporting national supply and international connections.
Cold Storage Platform
Another indicator highlighted in the report is the recovery in fish handling, associated with the resumption of operations at the Mindelo Cold Storage Platform under ENAPOR’s management. According to the company, this evolution reinforces its commitment to the cold chain, product quality, and food safety.
The Mindelo Cold Storage Platform has been considered strategic for the fishing sector and for strengthening the capacity for fish preservation and export, especially in a context where Cape Verde seeks to position itself as a regional center linked to the maritime economy and port activities.
The figures presented also indicate that the growth trend continues into 2026. In the first four months of the year, cargo handling reached 1,004,134 tons, representing a 16% increase compared to the same period in 2025.
During the same period, container traffic reached 36,165 TEUs, corresponding to a 14% annual increase.
Growth Dynamics
The company believes that these indicators demonstrate the continuity of the growth dynamic observed in 2025 and reinforce the positive outlook for operational performance throughout this year.
In the report approved by shareholders, ENAPOR also highlights the importance of the structural investments currently underway, emphasizing the modernization of port infrastructure, the focus on the digitalization of services, the energy transition, and the continuous improvement of the quality of services provided to clients and partners.
In recent years, the company has been investing in modernization processes considered essential to increase the competitiveness of national ports, improve operational efficiency, and respond to growing demand. Priorities also include reducing operational costs, optimizing logistics processes, and adapting to the environmental and technological demands of the international maritime sector.
The evaluation of the company’s management and supervisory bodies, carried out during
the General Assembly, was described as very positive, reflecting shareholder satisfaction with ENAPOR’s performance in 2025.
