Excluding the volume contribution from MNHPI, International Container Terminal Services Nigeria Ltd. (ICTSNL) – the Company’s new terminal in Port of Onne, Nigeria) and Davao Integrated Port and Stevedoring Services Corporation (DIPSSCOR) in Davao, Philippines, which ceased operations on June 30, 2022, the consolidated volume would have increased by 5%.

The company’s revenue increased 20% year over year to $2.24 billion in 2022, compared to $1.87 billion in 2021.

According to the company, the increase in revenue was primarily due to volume growth and a market recovery following the Covid-19 pandemic, a favorable container mix, new contracts with shipping companies and services, higher ancillary service revenues and the contribution of new terminals and companies.

ICTSI also reported an increase in EBITDA to $1.41 billion in 2022, up 24% from $1.14 billion last year.
