DHL Group reported strong financial results for the second quarter, posting revenue of €22 billion and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €1.9 billion, reflecting resilient demand across its global logistics and express businesses despite an uncertain macroeconomic environment.
The company said its diversified business portfolio and disciplined cost management helped sustain profitability, while continued growth in international express shipments, contract logistics, and freight forwarding supported overall performance. Stable demand from sectors such as healthcare, e-commerce, technology, and industrial manufacturing also contributed to the quarterly results.
DHL’s Express division remained a key earnings driver, benefiting from time-definite international shipments and a strong global aviation network. The Global Forwarding, Freight business continued to adapt to changing ocean and air freight market conditions, while Supply Chain operations recorded steady growth through new customer contracts and warehouse expansion.
The group highlighted ongoing investments in automation, digitalization, and sustainable logistics solutions to improve operational efficiency and support long-term growth. DHL also continued expanding its alternative-fuel vehicle fleet, sustainable aviation fuel initiatives, and carbon-reduction programs as part of its environmental strategy.
Management noted that global trade remains influenced by geopolitical tensions, shifting supply chains, and evolving customer demand, but emphasized that DHL’s broad international network and balanced business mix position the company to navigate market volatility effectively.
With strong second-quarter performance, DHL reaffirmed its focus on operational excellence, strategic investments, and customer service while continuing to strengthen its global logistics network amid changing market dynamics.
