Aramex logs Dh1.98bn Q3 revenue, freight forwarding sets quarterly record
Net profit climbs 817 percent year on year as multimodal capacity and pricing discipline support performance across all four segments.
Aramex recorded group revenue of Dh1.98 billion in the third quarter ended 30 September 2026, marking the highest quarterly figure in the company's history and the second consecutive record after Dh1.83 billion in Q2 2026. The Q3 result represents a 24 percent increase year on year. Group revenue for the nine months to 30 September reached Dh5.41 billion, up 16 percent on the corresponding period in 2025. The company disclosed the figures in a statement published 10 November 2026.
Freight forwarding drives quarterly performance#
Freight forwarding delivered a record quarter in Q3 2026, continuing the momentum established in Q2 2026. Customer demand, pricing discipline and the company's multimodal offering supported the result. Aramex maintained services during the quarter using alternative Europe to Middle East land routes alongside air and sea charter capacity. Revenue growth extended across all four business segments in Q3 2026, with domestic express, international express and logistics and supply chain solutions each recording year on year increases. The company attributed the performance to its diversified operating model and flexible routing capabilities.
Gross profit rises 12 percent in third quarter#
Group gross profit increased 12 percent year on year to Dh415 million in Q3 2026. For the nine months to 30 September, gross profit reached Dh1.15 billion, up 8 percent on the prior year period. Gross profit margin stood at 21.0 percent for the quarter, compared with 23.2 percent in Q3 2025. The nine month margin was 21.2 percent against 22.8 percent in the first nine months of 2025. The year on year margin movement reflected a change in the group's business mix, with a higher contribution from freight forwarding, which typically carries a different margin profile than other segments.
Company cites operational efficiency and network flexibility#
Amadou Diallo, group chief executive officer, stated in the announcement that the result marks another milestone following the record achieved in Q2 2026. He cited disciplined execution, operational efficiency and the company's focus on financial performance. Diallo noted that teams remained focused on meeting customer requirements and delivering services across the network during the quarter. The company continues to advance its Accelerate28 transformation programme, embedding efficiency and accountability across operations.
