In view of an announcement made today by DFDS that its largest shareholder, Lauritzen Fonden Holding, believes it would be in the best interests of DFDS to appoint a new Chair, DFDS decided to announce its half-year results one day earlier than stated in its financial calendar.

Headline figures for Q2, 2026 show revenue up 10.0% to DKK8.6 billion and EBIT up DKK291.0 million to DKK454.0 million

The Company acknowledged that it is well positioned in most of its markets, yet financial performance is far from where it should be. It has launched a strategy review to clarify its long-term vision, positioning, and priorities.

The strategy review will define the strategic areas where DFDS will concentrate its efforts and specify how it can deliver sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders. In parallel, it will continue a dedicated focus on near-term performance improvements.

The strategy review, including financial ambitions, will be completed within six months. Improving DFDS’ financial performance is a top priority in order to deliver satisfactory shareholder returns and to enable future network investments.

The Q2, 2026 financial performance was in line with expectations affirming the full-year earnings outlook. Both divisions, Ferry and Logistics, improved Q2 earnings compared to 2025, including continued progress on its six turning point actions set out earlier in the year.

Financial solidity was further strengthened in Q2 as high cash conversion underpinned an improvement in financial leverage, NIBD/EBITDA, to 3.4x at the end of the quarter.

> Ferry Division

Q2 revenue increased 13.4% or DKK578.0 million to DKK4,891.0 million compared to 2025. Freight ferry revenue was above 2025 driven by a significant increase in oil price surcharges (BAF) through the quarter. Passenger revenue adjusted for route changes was just above 2025 as higher revenue per passenger offset lower volumes.

EBIT increased 127.5% or DKK237.0 million to DKK423.0 million from DKK186.0 million in Q2, 2025. EBIT increased DKK268.0 million adjusted for route changes and one-off items.

Total Q2 freight volumes increased 1.1% compared to 2025.

North Sea Q2 volumes, adjusted for route changes, were up 5.5% compared to 2025 driven by higher volumes on both the Continent-UK routes and the Scandinavia / UK / Continent routes. The growth on the latter routes was partly due to a volume decrease in 2025 caused by a national port strike in Sweden.

Mediterranean Q2 volumes were 3.3% below 2025 as continued volume growth between Egypt/Tunisia and Europe was offset by lower volumes between Türkiye and Europe due to capacity reductions and subdued demand in both European markets and in Türkiye.

The total Türkiye-Europe export trailer transport market was in Q2, 2026 split between 54.0% ferry volumes and 46.0% road volumes. Ferry gained 3ppt market share versus road compared to Q2, 2025. DFDS’ Q2, 2026 share of the total market was 34.0% and the share for all other ferry operators was 20.0%.

Channel Q2 freight volumes decreased 3.1% compared to 2025. Volumes were lower in most market areas which was partly due to tonnage changes and a slight decrease in total Dover Strait market volumes.

Baltic Sea Q2 volumes were 10.3% above 2025 driven by higher volumes on most routes, including an uplift from the space charter agreement entered into in 2025 and reduced direct competition between Estonia and Sweden.

Strait of Gibraltar Q2 volumes were 2.4% above 2025.

Q2 passenger volumes were 5.5% below 2025 adjusted for the exit from Tarifa Tanger Ville in early May 2025. Channel Q2 passenger volumes were 2.4% below 2025 driven by lower Dover Strait coach volumes offsetting an increase in car passenger volumes. Jersey passenger volumes were above 2025. Q2 revenue per passenger was above 2025 driven by Channel. Baltic Sea Q2 passenger volumes were 6.3% below 2025 as higher volumes between Estonia and Sweden were offset by an impact from fewer departures due to the space charter agreement entered into in 2025. Strait of Gibraltar adjusted passenger volumes were 24.8% below 2025 following fewer departures due to weather disruptions and tonnage changes in the quarter.

> Logistics Division

Q2 revenue increased 7.8% or DKK303.0 million to DKK4,200.0 million compared to Q2, 2025. The revenue increase was primarily driven by higher fuel surcharges as well as underlying growth in some areas. Activity restructurings reduced revenue compared to 2025.

EBITDA increased 38.9% or DKK84.0 million to DKK301.0 million.

The higher result was driven by the Continent and Nordic business units adjusted for one-off items in Q2, 2025. Results continued in Q2 to be raised by earnings improvements for low performing activities, including progress on most turnaround Boost projects. In addition, the activity result for Continent-UK meat flows was greatly improved.

The UK & Ireland business unit continued in Q2, 2026 to deliver solid performance on level with 2025 underpinned by all main regions.

TES’ Q2 result improved compared to 2025 on a like-for-like basis. The turnaround of TES was during Q2 reorganised as a Boost project. Gradual commercial and operational improvements are expected to be achieved through the rest of the year.

Q2 EBIT increased 157.0% or DKK52.0 million to DKK85.0 million.

Transport and logistics Q2 activity levels were overall on level with 2025 in most regions of our network. Road freight rates firmed up through the quarter as transport capacity decreased.

In the Nordic network Q2 transport activity levels were overall on level with 2025 while margins improved in most areas as freight rates firmed up during the quarter. Oversupply of warehousing capacity continued in the quarter. Positive impacts from Boost projects were achieved in the quarter.

In the Continent network most activities continued in Q2 to improve performance driven by cost control, including capacity adjustments, and some improvement in freight rates. The Belgian Boost project progressed further in Q2. The Dutch / German cold chain activities benefited also in Q2 from the normalisation of meat export volumes to the UK compared to the disruption caused by the outbreak in H1, 2025 of Foot & Mouth Disease in Germany.

In the UK & Ireland network transport volumes were overall below 2025 while margin levels were maintained or improved through cost control and recovery as well as capacity adjustments. Warehousing activities maintained a high level of utilisation. The Scottish cold chain activities continued to improve margins in Q2 following a slow start to the year in Q1.

TES’ volumes were in line with expectations for the quarter. Total Turkish export trailer volumes to Europe were in Q2 below 2025 following subdued demand from the primary European export markets. In addition, the TRY exchange rate continued to hold back the competitiveness of the Turkish export industry.

> Looking ahead

Looking ahead, the Company’s revenue growth outlook has been increased to 3.0%-5.0% from previously around 0.0%. The low end of the 2026 EBIT outlook range is raised to DKK1,200.0-1,400.0 million from previously DKK1,000.0-1,400.0 million.

Freight ferry volumes between Europe and Türkiye/northern Africa are expected to continue to grow in H2, 2026, albeit the raised oil price creates headwind in some market areas. Volumes in northern and eastern Europe are overall expected to remain on level with 2025 for the rest of the year.

Road transport markets are in general expected to remain highly competitive in H2, 2026, although transport capacity reductions enacted in 2025 did ease margin pressures through Q2, 2026 in some markets.

DP World reported revenue of US$12.7 billion for H1, 2026, up 13.1% year-on-year, as the strength of its global network helped the Company navigate significant disruption to trade flows in the Middle East.

Growth across Logistics, Marine Services and DP World’s international Ports and Terminals portfolio helped offset lower activity at Jebel Ali. Excluding Jebel Ali, container volumes increased 6.5% on a like-for-like basis, with growth across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.

Jebel Ali remains fully operational with no physical damage, although the regional conflict has temporarily reduced vessel traffic. DP World has implemented mitigation measures across its regional network, including expanded inland connectivity, to support the continued movement of critical cargo.

In the UAE, the Company is expanding its gateway network with two new terminals in Fujairah, extending the Jebel Ali ecosystem through an integrated supply chain. This will provide cargo owners with greater flexibility, more choice and enhanced supply chain resilience, while reinforcing confidence in the UAE's future as a leading global trade and logistics hub.

Excluding Jebel Ali, Container volumes increased by 6.5% on a like-for-like basis, and adjusted EBITDA increased by 9.7%, with growth across Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe.

The Company continues to maintain a disciplined focus on capital allocation, cost management and operational efficiency. Combined with a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, this provides the flexibility to navigate uncertainty and continue creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

It invested US$1.5 billion across its global portfolio during the first half and expects to invest approximately US$3.0 billion in 2026, supporting new capacity and trade infrastructure in key growth markets including the UAE, UK, India, Saudi Arabia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Despite continued near-term uncertainty, DP World remains positive about the medium- to long-term outlook for global trade, supported by its diversified global network and growing integrated logistics business.

Hapag-Lloyd concluded Q2, 2026 with a slightly higher Group EBITDA of US$829.0 million (€712.0 million) compared to the prior-year quarter. Group EBIT declined to US$176.0 million (€150.0 million), while Group profit decreased to US$83.0 million (€71.0 million). Revenue increased to US$5,840.0 million (€5,020.0 million).

For the H1, 2026 period, Hapag-Lloyd reported Group EBITDA of US$1,323.0 million (€1,134.0 million) compared to the prior-year quarter figure of US$1,924.0 million. Group EBIT declined to just US$18.0 million (€16.0 million), down from US$677.0 million, while Group losses were US$173.0 million (€148.0 million), down from profits of US$775.0 million. Revenue increased to US$10,759.0 million (€9,221.0 million), up from US$10,590.0 million.

Following an unsatisfactory start to 2026, with earnings impacted by operational disruptions, volumes and spot rates picked up significantly in Q2. This positive development was mainly driven by strong exports out of Asia and improved US demand, which helped offset the significant cost headwinds of around US$600.0 million in Q2 arising from the conflict in the Middle East.

Q2 was better than Q1, driven by significantly higher spot rates and robust demand. The Gemini network remained resilient and continued to outperform the market. Additionally, the terminal business continues to grow and is becoming increasingly strategically relevant, supported by strong throughput and investment in new assets.

In the Liner Shipping segment, revenues reached US$5.7 billion (€4.9 billion) in Q2, 2026, supported by higher transport volumes of 3.5 million TEU (Q2, 2025: 3.4 million TEU). The average freight rate increased by 9.0% year over year to US$1,475 per TEU (Q2, 2025: US$1,354 per TEU). EBITDA declined to US$773.0 million (€664.0 million), while EBIT fell to US$153.0 million (€131.0 million), primarily because the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz resulted in additional costs for bunker, insurance, storage, service rerouting, and inland transportation.

In the Terminal & Infrastructure segment, revenues increased to US$191.0 million (€165.0 million) in Q2, 2026, driven by the first-time full consolidation of J M Baxi's container business and strong volume growth in Latin America. EBITDA rose to US$55.0 million (€47.0 million), while EBIT amounted to US$21.0 million (€18.0 million).

Looking ahead, in H2, 2026, the Company will remain focused on growing both the liner shipping and terminal businesses while maintaining strict cost discipline to further improve financial performance.

On the back of the Q2 performance and the improved market, the full-year 2026 earnings outlook was raised on 13 July. Group EBITDA is expected to be in the range of US$2.7 billion to US$3.7 billion (€2.3 billion to €3.2 billion) and Group EBIT to be in the range of US$0.1 billion to US$1.1 billion (€0.1 billion to €1.0 billion). This outlook remains subject to considerable uncertainty due to the highly volatile development of freight rates and the conflict in the Middle East.

DACHSER has entered into a strategic partnership with Synergie Canada. The agreement covers the acquisition of a 10.0% minority-share in the Canadian logistics provider.

In 2025, Synergie Canada generated revenue of approximately €60.0 million with a workforce of about 100 employees. Founded in 2008 and based near Montreal, Quebec, the Company specialises in air and sea freight services on transatlantic and transpacific routes and serves customers in the engineering, technology, fashion and aerospace industries. Synergie Canada also offers truck transport within Canada and across the border to the US.

DACHSER sees expanding its presence in the Canadian market by acquiring a minority share of Synergie as essential for the continued growth of its business outside Europe.

Synergie Canada has grown rapidly in the 15 years since it was founded, evolving from a traditional overland transport forwarder into one of Canada’s leading logistics providers for international air and sea freight.

Canada is a highly attractive market for a global logistics provider like DACHSER. As one of the seven leading industrialised nations, the Canadian economy is closely linked to the economies of the Americas, as well as target markets in Europe.

For Synergie Canada, together with DACHSER, it can now take the next step in its development and offer customers even better access to international markets, particularly in Europe.

Bnode announced its Q2, 2026 results, marked by a significant operational disruption in Belgium during April. Despite this impact, the Group continued to advance its strategic transformation, improve operational efficiency and benefit from the resilience of its diversified business portfolio. Group operating income amounted to €1,046.4 million and adjusted EBIT reached €29.4 million, including an estimated €-25.5 million EBIT impact from the April strike. Landmark Global delivered a resilient performance and Paxon maintained profitability despite softer commercial activity.

While earnings were affected by the April strike and softer commercial activity in certain markets, Bnode continued to execute on its strategic priorities during the quarter. Transformation initiatives progressed across the Group, operational efficiencies improved and the diversified portfolio helped mitigate part of the impact from these headwinds. The Group remains focused on operational performance and delivering sustainable profitable growth over the longer term.

The five-week strike had a material effect on Bpost's mail and parcel operations, affecting volumes, revenues and operational performances during the quarter. Bpost reported operating income of €515.0 million and an adjusted EBIT of €-0.7 million, including an estimated strike-related impact of approximately €-24.0 million.

Mail & Press volumes declined by 16.8%, while parcel volumes decreased by 9.2%, reflecting the operational disruption during April. At the same time, the ongoing transformation programme continued to deliver tangible results, with productivity improvements supported by reorganisations, a 6.5% lower FTEs and continued operational efficiency measures.

Paxon operated in a more challenging commercial environment, particularly in North America. Adjusted EBIT increased to €22.9 million, reflecting ongoing operational discipline and efficiency measures.

At Landmark Global, cross-border volumes remained supported by demand from Asia despite temporary disruptions to Belgian flows during April and May. Operating income reached €148.8 million, with an adjusted EBIT of €16.8 million, with only a limited impact form the April strike.

Bnode continued to advance its strategic transformation during the quarter, At Bpost, the modernisation of the distribution model progressed further as the Company moves towards a parcel-led operating model. Key initiatives include the introduction of more dynamic distribution rounds and preparations for the September roll-out of later distribution start times. The OOH-network also continued to expand, bringing the Company closer to its accelerated target of 3,500 locations by year-end 2026. In retail, the service offering was further broadened through new products and services, including telecom and home security solutions, while discussions with the Belgian State regarding the next Management Contract remain ongoing.

At Paxon, commercial momentum is building, while cost discipline protects profitability. Landmark Global continued to demonstrate resilience in a challenging market environment. Together, these initiatives support Bnode's efforts to strengthen competitiveness, improve operational performance and create sustainable long-term value.

Looking ahead, Bnode has revised its FY26 adjusted EBIT outlook to approximately €140.0 million. The revised outlook primarily reflects the updated assessment of the April strike impact, now estimated at approximately €25.0 million, compared with the preliminary estimate of €15.0 million communicated in May. It also reflects slower-than-expected commercial development within Paxon, particularly in North America, partly offset by additional optimisation and cost-saving measures at Corporate. The outlook for Landmark Global remains unchanged. The revised guidance does not include any potential impact from future EU import duties or further macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.

Maersk has entered into an agreement to sell Maersk Training and its subsidiary Maersk H2S Safety Services to Open Gate Capital, an industrial, corporate carve-out specialist. The agreement remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals

The transaction reflects Maersk's ongoing focus on the development of its strategic brands and recognises the strong positions that Maersk Training and Maersk H2S Services have established in the market. Under the ownership of Open Gate Capital, the business will be well positioned to continue its growth with a dedicated strategic focus on training, gas detection, safety and workforce competency solutions.

Maersk believe this transaction will enable Maersk Training to continue developing under an owner with training, safety and competency solutions as a key focus area, creating new opportunities for customers, employees and the business alike.

For more than four decades, Maersk Training has provided specialised training, competence development and safety services to industries including energy, maritime, renewables and logistics, supporting customers in managing operational risk and workforce safety.

Until the transaction closes, expected later in 2026, Maersk Training continues to operate as part of A.P. Moller - Maersk. Employees, customers, and partners should expect business to continue as usual throughout the transition period.

Maersk H2S Safety Services is a subsidiary of Maersk Training and is a global provider of gas detection and safety services in off- and onshore energy industries.

Cryoport, Inc. announced financial results for its second quarter (Q2) and first half (H1) of 2026. The Company’s revenue momentum over the past several periods continued into Q2. Second quarter revenue grew 8.0% year-over-year to US$49.0 million, as Life Sciences Services revenue increased 15.0% year-over-year. BioStorage/BioServices revenue grew 25.0% year-over-year. The Company was supporting 779 global clinical trials and 22 commercially approved cell and gene therapies (CGT) as of 30 June 2026

Total revenue from the support of commercial CGT grew 9.0% year-over-year to US$9.4 million. The Life Science Services portion of revenue from supporting commercial CGT grew 26.0% year-over-year as the number of patients treated in the community setting and on an outpatient basis continued to ramp. Total revenue for the quarter from supporting CGT clinical trials increased 12.0% year-over-year to US$13.4 million as customers' clinical pipelines advanced and further matured.

The Q2 results also reflect meaningful progress on the "pathway to profitability." Achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter represents an important milestone in the ongoing pathway to sustainable profitability and demonstrates the value of strategic investments and operational initiatives executed over the past several years.

With the accomplishments to date, the Company believes that it is well positioned to further expand margins, enhance operating efficiency, and deliver sustainable, profitable long-term growth for shareholders. It remains focused on executing its strategy, driving financial performance, and capitalising on the significant opportunities before it. It expects upcoming growth catalysts in its business segments, represented by the expansion of its Global Supply Chain Centre Network and recent launches of new products and services, will drive the Company to new heights in market position, growth, and productivity.

BioLogistics Solutions revenue increased 13.0% year-over-year in Q2 2026, driven by increasing customer activity, continued commercial product development, and clinical advancement within the CGT market. BioStorage/BioServices revenue grew 25.0% year-over-year, reflecting strong demand for expanded, integrated services offering, which provides seamless, secure handling of temperature-sensitive materials across a global network.

As of 30 June 2026, the number of commercial cell and gene therapies supported increased to 22 and the total clinical trial count supported rose to 779 clinical trials worldwide, a net increase of 51 clinical trials over 30 June 2025, with 94 of these clinical trials in Phase 3.

Radiant Logistics has announced the launch of a new independent agent programme at Radiant Road & Rail, Inc., the Company's US over-the-road and intermodal brokerage platform. The programme extends the same agent-based growth strategy that has been central to Radiant's freight forwarding business, Radiant Global Logistics, to a new population of strategic operating partners operating in the truck brokerage and intermodal market, bringing the same built-in path to ownership and long-term liquidity that has long distinguished Radiant's freight forwarding agent model. The launch is anchored by the addition of two initial agency owners, Travis Tackett and Ryan Knight.

Since entering the freight forwarding business in 2006 with the acquisition of Airgroup, Radiant has built one of the industry's leading agent-based networks through a series of acquisitions, including Adcom Worldwide (2008), Distribution By Air (2011) and Service By Air (2015), along with the organic addition of dozens of independent agent locations across North America. Today, that platform gives owner-operators and independent sales professionals in the freight forwarding world access to enterprise-grade technology, purchasing power, back-office support and a path to build long-term equity value in their business. This includes, when the time comes, a built-in exit strategy whereby Radiant will buy in the agent.

The new Radiant Road & Rail agent programme is designed to bring that same value proposition to entrepreneurs in the agent-based truck brokerage ecosystem. Agents gain access to Radiant's carrier base, technology platform, back-office infrastructure and bi-modal service offering spanning truckload, less-than-truckload, temperature-controlled, intermodal, drayage and transloading services.

The platform also gives agents a meaningful edge with their customers. Rather than being limited to truck brokerage alone, they can now offer intermodal services along with international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage and other value-added services through the broader Radiant network.

Just as importantly, it gives agency owners a clear, structured path to monetise the value of the business they build. That built-in succession and liquidity opportunity is one of the most distinctive features of the Radiant model.

With 14 years of experience in the transportation and brokerage industry, Travis Tackett will be servicing customers across the US moving produce. This is a unique opportunity to leverage the capabilities of the Radiant network to help drive value for customers and ultimately help take the business to the next level.

Radiant Road & Rail's agent program is built around the following core offerings:

> Access to Radiant Road & Rail's carrier network and pricing power across truckload, LTL, intermodal, drayage and temperature-controlled freight

> A technology-enabled operating platform supporting quoting, tracking, carrier management and customer-facing tools

> Centralised back-office support, including billing, collections, claims and compliance

> A clear path to building long-term, transferable equity value in an independent agency business, supported by Radiant's built-in exit strategy to monetise what they've built and achieve liquidity on their own timeline

> The ability to cross-sell international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage and other value-added services through Radiant's broader network

Radiant is actively recruiting experienced logistics entrepreneurs, including current agents seeking a stronger platform, regional brokerages, and sales-driven operators, to join the Radiant Road & Rail network.

DHL Group achieved significant revenue and earnings growth in Q2, 2026. Compared with the prior-year quarter, which was affected by tariffs and other trade-policy conditions, Group revenue increased 13.0% to €22.4 billion. Operating profit (EBIT) rose 30.0% to €1.9 billion, while the EBIT margin improved by 1.1 percentage points to 8.3%. Reflecting the positive earnings momentum in Q2, 2026, the Group raised its guidance in July, together with the publication of its preliminary results, to an operating profit (EBIT) of more than €6.5 billion for fiscal year 2026 (previously: more than €6.2 billion).

Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher transported shipment weight at DHL Express, capacity constraints in the international air freight market, and the pass-through of higher fuel costs. Disciplined yield and capacity management, along with structural cost improvements achieved through the "Fit for Growth" programme, supported earnings growth.

DHL Group continues to invest in the strength and quality of its network. In the first half of the year, capital expenditures on acquired assets (capex) totalled €1.3 billion, 25.0% higher than in the prior-year period. The Group is thus continuing the implementation of its Strategy 2030 and strengthening the foundation for long-term growth.

DHL Express: Positive demand development and higher capacity utilisation

Revenue: Up 21.5% to €7,132.0 million
EBIT: Up 64.3% to €1,200.0 million
EBIT margin: 16.8%, up from 12.4%

DHL Express benefited from increased demand development in Q2. The return to growth in transported shipment weight, combined with disciplined yield and capacity management, resulted in a significant increase in operating profit. The division also benefited from temporary capacity constraints in the air freight market, resulting in a positive earnings impact of around €150.0 million.

DHL Global Forwarding: Network strength in a volatile market environment

Revenue: Up 17.9% to €5,448.0 million
EBIT: Up 21.9% to €240.0 million
EBIT margin: 4.4%, up from 4.3%

DHL Global Forwarding benefited from growing air and ocean freight volumes as well as volatile freight rates in Q2, 2026. In particular, the successful management of the challenging market environment had a positive impact on business performance. Leveraging its global network and local market expertise, the division supported customers in managing changing trade flows and supply chains reliably.

DHL Supply Chain: Revenue growth in all regions

Revenue: Up 12.9% to €4,721.0 million
EBIT: Down 12.1% to €305.0 million
EBIT margin: 6.5%, down from 8.3%

DHL Supply Chain continued its growth trajectory in Q2, 2026. All regions recorded higher revenue growth than in the prior-year quarter, with the Americas region making a particularly strong contribution to the positive development, supported by sectors including Life Sciences & Healthcare, Auto-Mobility, and Engineering & Manufacturing. Earnings were below the exceptionally high prior-year level, which had benefited from positive one-off effects. Excluding one-offs, the division's underlying operating performance continued to develop positively.

DHL eCommerce: Structural e-commerce trend remains intact

Revenue: Down 3.7% to €1,594.0 million
EBIT: Down 4.0% to €54.0 million
EBIT margin: 3.4%, unchanged

Reported revenue development at DHL eCommerce in Q2, 2026 continued to be affected by the accounting impact of the merger with Evri and the resulting loss of the revenue contribution from the UK. Excluding consolidation and currency effects, the division recorded strong revenue growth in Q2, supported by the continued structural growth trend in eCommerce. The integration of recent acquisitions and the ongoing development of its network capabilities continue to strengthen the division's long-term competitiveness.

Post & Parcel Germany: Parcel growth supports business performance

Revenue: Up 1.8% to €4,225.0 million
EBIT: Down 18.7% to €135.0 million
EBIT margin: 3.2%, down from 4.0%

Post & Parcel Germany developed in line with expectations in Q2, 2026. Growth continued to be driven by the domestic and international parcel business. The structural decline in mail volumes continued and was further amplified by the absence of positive election-related effects from the previous year. At the same time, higher transportation and personnel costs weighed on earnings performance. The division remains focused on improving productivity, maintaining cost discipline, and continuously enhancing its network and processes.

Looking ahead, to meet evolving customer needs, the Company continues to invest in digitalisation, automation, and the modernisation of its logistics infrastructure. These investments include, among others, the modernisation of the global Express fleet, automated warehousing and sorting solutions, and digital applications designed to further enhance quality and efficiency.

In addition, DHL Group continues to expand its capabilities in strategic growth areas such as Life Sciences & Healthcare, New Energy and Data Centre Logistics. For example, the Group is expanding its Life Sciences & Healthcare network in the US, the UK, Singapore and South Korea, investing in a new battery logistics centre in the Netherlands, and strengthening its data centre logistics capabilities also in the Asia Pacific region. Through these investments, DHL Group is responding to growing demand for specialised logistics solutions, helping customers in fast-growing and increasingly complex industries to manage critical supply chains securely, resiliently and efficiently.

Reflecting the strong business performance in the first half of the year, DHL Group increased its full-year 2026 guidance on 07 July and now expects operating profit (EBIT) of more than €6.5 billion (previously: more than €6.2 billion). EBIT for the DHL divisions is now expected to exceed €5.9 billion. The guidance for Post & Parcel Germany (more than €900.0 million EBIT) and Group Functions (around minus €400.0 million) remains unchanged. The Group also confirmed its expectation of around €3.0 billion in free cash flow (excluding M&A).

In addition, the Board of Management decided to increase the Group's share buyback program, launched in 2022, by €500.0 million to up to €6.5 billion and to extend it through the end of 2027.

Forward Air Corporation has reported financial results for the three months ended 30 June 2026. The Company delivered what it termed as ‘another solid quarter’, seeing momentum from transformational efforts, combined with an improving freight market. This contributed to reporting US$673.0 million in consolidated operating revenue, which is the best in Forward Air Corporation’s history. Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter was US$93.0 million, an improvement of US$14.0 million, compared to US$79.0 million a year ago.

On a segment basis, the Expedited Freight segment made significant strides and reported its best operating revenue, operating income, Reported EBITDA and margin in the last two and a half years. The Omni Logistics segment saw an increase in demand for its contract logistics and air and ocean services and, excluding the impact of goodwill impairment, achieved its best Reported EBITDA and margin since the transaction in early 2024. Finally, the Intermodal segment had its best Reported EBITDA result in five quarters and best margin in six quarters. The Intermodal segment is beginning to see the benefits of a strong pipeline and recently enacted strategic rate increases to several accounts.

The Company reported consolidated operating revenue of US$673.0 million in Q2, up 8.8% compared to US$619.0 million a year ago. In Q2, it reported an operating loss of US$201.0 million that included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of US$244.0 million related to the Omni Logistics segment. Operating income, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, was US$43.0 million, which is more than double the US$20.0 million in operating income reported in the second quarter last year.

Liquidity remained very strong at US$401.0 million at the end of the second quarter comprised of US$139.0 million in cash and US$261.0 million of availability under the credit facility. This is in line with where the Company ended the first quarter 2026 and an improvement of US$33.0 million compared to US$368.0 million in total liquidity at the end of Q2, 2025.

Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. announced second quarter 2026 financial results including the following comparisons to the same quarter of 2025:

> Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders increased 45.0% to US$266.0 million
> Operating Income increased 41.0% to US$350.0 million
> Revenues increased 32.0% to US$3.5 billion
> Air freight tonnage increased 14.0% and ocean container volume remained flat
> Customs, Transcon, Distribution, and Order Management each achieved double-digit revenue growth for a second consecutive quarter
> Cash returned to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends was US$461.0 million and US$748.0 million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2026

The Company sees its excellent performance this quarter, with double-digit growth across most of products, as demonstrating that its strategy around operational excellence is working and allowing it to take market share. By focusing on increasing growth in each region, product, and district, the Company generated tremendous growth and diversification.

In July, the Company announced the expansion of its Critical Logistics Services (CLS) to include expanded global Aircraft on Ground (AOG) capabilities, further strengthening its presence in time-critical aviation and aerospace logistics. It also continues to invest in its facilities to expand capacity to meet growing demand for temperature-controlled solutions. By focusing on high-growth markets, it will be able to better serve an even more diverse range of customer needs.

Q2 2026 Operational Highlights

Air freight services: Air buy and sell rates were highly elevated during the quarter, as demand for air capacity continued to outweigh available space, particularly late in the quarter and driven largely by a reduction in passenger flights and constrained belly capacity due to the conflict in the Middle East, home to some of the world's largest commercial air cargo operators. Tonnage increased 14.0% compared to a year ago and was up 16.0% compared to Q1, 2026, primarily from trade lanes that have been relatively unaffected by the conflict, particularly Asia-US and Asia-Europe. The ongoing heavy demand from AI hyperscalers shows no sign of slowing down, and the Company has seen increased demand for freighter space, as some hyperscalers are requiring upper-deck access for their servers. In addition, eCommerce out of North Asia has been climbing closer to where it was before the US government began restricting de minimis entries in Q2, 2025, putting further pressure on capacity and rates. Given the current geopolitical state of the world and rising fuel costs along with tight capacity and routing challenges, air carriers are under enormous strain and may continue to be for some time.

Ocean freight and ocean services: Despite all of the complications impacting the ocean markets, the carriers have adapted well and managed capacity very carefully, driving an increase in rates particularly late in the quarter as demand also increased. As a result, the Company may be starting to see a flattening of the long downturn in the ocean market. Volumes increased 7.0% compared to Q1, 2026, the first sequential increase since Q3, 2025. Strengthening demand combined with heightened pricing late in the quarter led to an increase in profitability per-container in Q2, 2026.

Customs brokerage and other services: For a second consecutive quarter, customs and other products within the Company’s Customs brokerage and other services segment all generated double-digit growth from a diverse range of geographies and business sectors, led by demand from AI hyperscalers and other high-value technology customers. The customs business benefited from tariff-related complexity, along with solid growth from new customers and increased declarations from existing customers. A temporary surge in IEEPA-related filings drove higher pricing, while cost discipline and productivity investments also helped improve results.

Included in the results is a US$25.0 million pretax restructuring charge related to its Global Technology team. This restructuring was done to modernise and reshape the Global Technology function for the future. While this was a strategic restructuring not driven by cost reduction, the Company expect it will lower cost structure going forward by approximately US$50.0 million annually, which equates to nearly 10.0% of its total corporate overhead expenses. The Company will continue making high-return investments, including additional investments in artificial intelligence and in technology talent, capabilities, and solutions, consistent with its modernisation strategy, to further increase operating margins over the long term. The restructuring charge was partially offset by a US$16.0 million gain on the sale of an underutilised property during the quarter.

Strategic investments continue to enhance productivity as operating efficiency increased to 32.2% in Q2, inclusive of the restructuring charge and before the lower operating costs noted above take effect. In addition, headcount remained essentially flat vs. the Q1, 2026; these measures do not yet fully include the reduction in headcount from the restructuring activities, which will primarily be realised in Q3.

Looking ahead, the Company noted that its pipeline of new business is very strong.

PostNL has reported stable H1, 2026 revenue, with a slight increase in normalised EBIT and significantly improved free cash flow. The Company delivered a solid performance despite volatile market conditions. Thanks to disciplined execution of its new strategy, a resilient set of results and a strong improvement in free cash flow was achieved.

At the same time, external challenges are intensifying, but a solid foundation enables the Company to accelerate cost savings initiatives, resulting in a more competitive cost base and more commercial flexibility. The Company has identified ~€75.0 million additional cost savings in 2027-28, mainly in E-commerce.

E-commerce:
> volume-to-value strategy gaining traction, demonstrated by 5.0% increase in average price per parcel
> revenue at €937.0 million (HY 2025: €961.0 million), driven by positive price/mix impact and 6.4% volume decline
> domestic volumes down 4.2%, due to weak market growth and limited loss in market share as expected
> international volumes, mainly from Asian web shops, down almost 15.0%, reflecting volatile market conditions, volume-to-value strategy and first impact related to implementation of import duty and handling fees
> better utilisation of network and €24.0 million cost savings achieved

Platforms:
> continued growth in European eCommerce activities and decline in volumes from Asian web shops
> revenue €379.0 million (HY 2025: €375.0 million), up 1.0% (2.7% at constant currencies)
> 7.1% volume decline: continued strong growth in European eCommerce volumes, more than offset by decline in volumes from Asian web shops (see under E-commerce) and mail volumes

Mail:
> successful implementation of major operational transition to standard mail delivery within two days
> revenue €623.0 million (HY 2025: €620.0 million)
> trend of structural volume decline continued with volumes down 7.9% (excluding election mail)
> €12.0 million cost savings achieved
> urgent political decisions still necessary to safeguard future-proof postal service

At E-commerce, the strategic transition from volume to value is progressing through a disciplined roll-out of measures to balance volume, capacity and value. A proactive approach is visible in the increase in the average price per parcel and improved operational efficiency, resulting in a resilient normalised EBIT performance in the first half of 2026, despite declining volumes. Volume development is mainly driven by weaker market growth in line with consumer spending and limited domestic market share loss related to the volume-to-value strategy.

In Platforms, the Company continued its focus on international growth via asset-light models Spring and MyParcel, with European eCommerce volumes driving revenue development. The value focused approach applies equally here and is a main driver of the volume decline from Asian customers. Furthermore, since June, these volumes have been further impacted by the preparation for the introduction of the import duty on non-EU parcels per 01 July. Asian web shops are focusing on adjusting their commercial propositions and logistics processes, which resulted in a shift in their market positions and impacted market volumes. The Company continues to invest in its strategy by developing marketing and IT capabilities to strengthen its position as a strong player in the European eCommerce market.

In Mail, the Company successfully completed the transition to standard mail delivery within two days. It marks an important, but also intermediate, step towards safeguarding a future-proof postal service for everyone in the Netherlands. A next step to delivery within three business days as well as net cost compensation in transitional years are necessary to achieve long term viability.

Overall, normalised EBIT and free cash flow are developing in line with expectations and following the usual seasonal pattern. The Company remains confident in delivering its 2026 FY outlook for normalised EBIT and free cash flow. It is committed to disciplined execution of its new strategy and expects to reach the inflection point in the trajectory towards delivering on the Breakthrough 2028 ambition in 2026.

Atlas Air Worldwide announced the successful completion of its previously announced strategic investment in Air Atlanta. As part of the transaction, Atlas acquired a 49.0% minority equity stake in the Company, and its Titan Aviation Holdings subsidiary acquired the aircraft owned by the Air Atlanta group of companies and entered into a long-term leasing agreement with Air Atlanta, which will continue to operate the aircraft.

The strategic partnership expands Atlas’ global operating platform and enhances access to widebody capacity across key international markets.

This strategic relationship marks an exciting new chapter for Air Atlanta. Together with Atlas, the companies are well positioned to build on complementary strengths and expand opportunities and enhance value for customers.

Barclays and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisors to Atlas Air Worldwide. Norton Rose Fulbright LLP served as legal counsel to Atlas Air Worldwide.

Global air freight markets increased by 8.5% in June 2026, compared to June 2025 (9.6% for international operations). Capacity increased by 4.4% compared to June 2025 (4.9% for international operations). While North America was the strongest contributor to growth, demand in all regions was in positive territory compared to last year.

Demand growth outpaced capacity at the global level and in all regions except Latin America and the Caribbean. Demand also grew faster than global trade, supported by high-value technology products, and urgent shipments.

Global trade increased by 5.2% year-on-year. Jet fuel prices fell by 20% month-on-month in June but remained 45.8% above year-earlier levels.

Global manufacturing activity eased slightly in June but remained supportive, while export orders weakened. The Global Manufacturing Output Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell 0.5 points to 53.0, while the New Export Orders Index remained below the 50-mark for a fourth consecutive month at 49.4. This suggests that air cargo growth was driven by specific trade flows rather than a broad-based increase in global exports.

While this all gives strong reasons for optimism in the second half of 2026, risks remain, continuing hostilities in the Middle East and a renewed focus on tariffs by the US among them.

Asia-Pacific airlines saw a 7.9% year-on-year growth in air cargo demand in June. Capacity increased by 4.3% year-on-year. North American carriers saw a 13.1% year-on-year increase in air cargo demand in June, the strongest performance of all regions. Capacity increased by 6.2% year-on-year.

European carriers saw a 6.9% year-on-year increase in demand for air cargo in June. Capacity increased by 3.7% year-on-year. Middle Eastern carriers saw a 5.6% year-on-year increase in demand for air cargo in June. Capacity increased by 2.5% year-on-year. While the results for the month were in growth territory, they are skewed to the positive as the comparison is to June 2025 which was particularly weak for carriers in the Middle East as a result of disruptions due to military conflict.

Latin American and Caribbean carriers saw a 3.5% year-on-year increase in demand for air cargo in June, the weakest performance of all regions. Capacity increased by 9.8% year-on-year. African airlines saw a 4.7% year-on-year increase in demand for air cargo in June. Capacity decreased by -7.1% year-on-year.

Air cargo performance diverged across major trade lanes in June. Asia–North America recorded the strongest growth, followed by Within Asia, Europe–Asia, and Africa–Asia. In contrast, Gulf-linked corridors remained disrupted by the conflict in the Middle East.

Americold Realty Trust, Inc. announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2026.

Americold delivered another quarter of strong results, encouraged by ongoing growth in both physical occupancy and pricing, as industry fundamentals show continued signs of stabilisation. While consumer demand remains relatively flat, the results demonstrate the strength of the Company’s platform, the value of its customer relationships, and its ability to win new business through operational excellence and disciplined commercial execution.

The Company is not waiting for a market recovery to drive value creation. It entered the year with a clear set of priorities focused on strengthening the business and has made meaningful progress on each of them during the second quarter. It is advancing towards closing a joint venture with EQT, which it expects will significantly improve its balance sheet, enhance financial flexibility and provide a strategic platform to pursue future developments.

Initiatives to actively manage its portfolio, improve cost structure and expand customer relationships, demonstrate that its strategy is delivering tangible results and that Americold can win in the market.

Second quarter 2026 highlights:

Total revenues of US$662.9 million, a 1.9% increase from US$650.7 million in Q2, 2025 and an increase of 0.6% on a constant currency basis.

Net loss of US$342.8 million, or US$1.19 loss per diluted share, as compared to a net income of US$0.01 per diluted share in Q2, 2025 primarily due to impairment charges recognised during the quarter.

Global Warehouse segment same store revenues increased 2.2% on an actual basis and increased 1.1% on a constant currency basis as compared to Q2, 2025.

Global Warehouse same store services margin decreased to 14.8% in Q2, 2026 from 15.2% in Q2 2025.

Global Warehouse segment same store NOI decreased 1.5%, or 2.2% on a constant currency basis, as compared to Q2, 2025.

Adjusted FFO of $102.0 million, a 2.8% decrease from Q2, 2025

Core EBITDA remained flat at $159.1 million in Q2, 2026 and Q2, 2025, with a 0.6% decrease on a constant currency basis.

Core EBITDA margin of 24.0%, decreased from 24.4% in Q2, 2025.

Constellation Cold Logistics has acquired Wimar Coldstore (Wimar-Chłodnia sp. z o.o.), marking the Company's entry into the Polish market.

The acquisition adds 25,000 pallet positions of temperature-controlled storage capacity to the Company's European network, expanding its cold-storage and temperature-controlled logistics footprint in Poland.

The deal forms part of the Company's wider European growth strategy and strengthens its leadership position across Europe. 

Lufthansa Cargo significantly improved its financial performance in the first half of 2026. Revenue rose 16.0% to €1.92 billion (previous year: €1.65 billion) and Adjusted EBIT increased 47.0% to €199.0 million (previous year: €135.0 million). The Adjusted EBIT margin improved by 2.2 percentage points to 10.4% (previous year: 8.2%).

Available cargo capacity expanded, with the Company offering 7.2 billion freight tonne-kilometres (+5.0%). Capacity growth was driven in particular by increased belly capacity, including the marketing of cargo capacity on ITA Airways flights. Demand rose in parallel: traffic volume increased 5.0% to 4.6 billion freight tonne-kilometres and the average load factor edged up 0.2 percentage points to 63.8%.

The Company said it continued to advance its BOLD MOVES growth strategy, aimed at returning the Company to the ranks of the world’s top three cargo airlines by 2030 based on freight tonne-kilometres. Management noted that the global air freight market remains shaped by volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, rising costs and intensifying competition, and said the Company is focusing on speed, efficiency and adaptability to sustain long-term success.

In Q2, the Company consolidated the activities of former subsidiaries heyworld GmbH and CB Customs Broker GmbH under GlobeCross GmbH. GlobeCross combines digital eCommerce logistics with customs expertise to offer integrated end-to-end cross-border solutions, including digital customs services, eCommerce import terminals at key air cargo hubs and fully integrated transport, customs clearance and final-delivery services. The move extends the Company’s offer beyond airport-to-airport operations and targets growth in cross-border parcel logistics.

DP World has agreed with GXO Logistics to take over six contract logistics sites serving grocery customers in the UK, a move approved by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) as a regulatory condition of GXO’s acquisition of Wincanton.

The facilities, five in England and one in Northern Ireland, serve Asda, Sainsbury’s and the Co‑op and are due to transfer to the Company in September. GXO will retain transport operations at the applicable sites. More than 2,000 employees will join the Company’s UK operations, which include container ports at London Gateway and Southampton as well as logistics, freight forwarding and marine services.

The six sites add around 185,800 m2 of warehouse capacity to the Company’s UK network and provide ambient, chilled, frozen and bonded storage capabilities to support grocery customers. The warehouses will hold about 46,000 unique products and strengthen the Company’s national distribution footprint, linking port and terminal operations with inland warehousing and distribution.

The agreement expands the Company’s contract logistics presence in the UK and aims to enhance its ability to deliver integrated supply chain solutions for grocery, retail and consumer sectors by combining the new facilities with existing infrastructure and services.

RXO reported its second-quarter financial results and third-quarter outlook. Full truckload volume improved every month and grew by 2.0% year over year in the second quarter, outperforming the market. The Company achieved an 11.0% sequential increase in gross profit per load, the highest growth rate in four years, driven by Brokerage full-truckload spot mix of 42.0%. The Company also noted strength across Complementary Services, including 3.0% year-over-year stop growth in Last Mile.

The strong second-quarter results included profitable volume growth across the business. In Brokerage, it outperformed the market sooner than previously communicated expectations, with truckload volume growth of 2.0%. The Company also achieved another historic sequential increase in gross profit per load, the best in four years, primarily driven by a 900-basis-point sequential increase in truckload spot mix. Managed Transportation won approximately US$100.0 million in additional freight under management.

Importantly, the Company achieved these results with strong carrier vetting and cargo security practices. It has strong momentum and anticipate that Brokerage will continue to deliver volume and gross profit-per-load growth in the third quarter. RXO suggested that the market is in the early stages of a recovery and that this is the part of the freight cycle where its unique algorithm drives differentiated results.

> Companywide Results

RXO’s revenue was US$1.8 billion for Q2, compared to US$1.4 billion in Q2, 2025. Gross margin was 13.9%, compared to 17.8% in Q2, 2025. The Company reported Q2, 2026 GAAP net loss of US$9.0 million, compared to a net loss of US$9.0 million in Q2, 2025. The Q2, 2026 GAAP net loss included US$13.0 million in transaction, integration, restructuring and other costs. Adjusted Q2 net income was US$10.0 million, compared to US$7.0 million in Q2, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was US$40.0 million, compared to US$38.0 million in Q2, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 2.3%, compared to 2.7% in Q2, 2025.

> Brokerage

Volume in RXO’s Brokerage business increased by 2.0% year over year in Q2. Truckload volume increased by 2.0% and less-than-truckload volume increased by 3.0%. Full truckload volume improved every month throughout the quarter. Truckload spot mix was 42.0% of volume in the quarter, up from 33.0% in Q1, 2026, helping to drive the largest sequential gross profit per load growth rate in four years. Truckload spot mix grew by 1,500 basis points year over year. Brokerage gross margin was 10.7% in Q2.

> Complementary Services

Managed Transportation was awarded approximately US$100.0 million of freight under management in Q2. Last Mile stops increased by 3.0% year over year as a result of market share gains. RXO’s complementary services gross margin was 21.1% for the quarter.

Looking ahead, RXO expects Q3, 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be between US$35.0 million and US$45.0 million. In Brokerage, the Company expects overall volume growth to increase by a low-to-mid-single-digit percentage year over year. It expects truckload gross profit per load to increase sequentially.

Amazon has expanded its Locker network to more than 750 locations across colleges and universities in the US, extending secure, on‑campus package pickup to students at over 500 campuses nationwide.

Eligible orders can be delivered to a campus Locker at no extra cost and collected at the student’s convenience. Students can search for nearby Lockers by address or ZIP code, add a Locker to their Amazon address book and select it at checkout; operating hours and directions for each site are available before selection.

When a package arrives, the Company sends an email with instructions to open the Locker using a code, barcode or the Amazon Shopping app. Packages are held for three calendar days; items not collected within that window are returned and refunded. Students may forward the delivery confirmation and pickup instructions to an authorised collector if needed.

The campus Locker roll‑out forms part of the Company’s broader US network of more than 25,000 package pickup locations. The Company said the expansion aims to integrate secure package collection into campus life.

Viaservice-Ke, a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Viatrans SA, has entered into a strategic partnership with Maersk to provide Maersk customers in Kenya with the Viaservice Container Solution (VCS), a digital trade financing platform designed to simplify container management and improve cash flow across the supply chain.

VCS offers a secure digital platform that enables freight forwarders and other logistics stakeholders to access financing for container-related charges and associated logistics transactions. The solution aims to speed container release, reduce administrative burdens and remove the need for customers to lodge large refundable deposits that typically tie up working capital for weeks or months.

Under the arrangement, eligible customers can obtain an alternative to the traditional container deposit. Viaservice provides an advance payment facility on demurrage, damage and total loss on a reimbursement basis, allowing cargo to move while preserving customer liquidity for day-to-day operations.

The partnership builds on a VCS roll-out already under way in Tanzania and will extend benefits via the Port of Mombasa, where a growing share of regional container flows can now access an alternative to cash deposits. The move is positioned to ease capital constraints for businesses using Kenyan ports, which serve as a gateway for trade corridors to landlocked markets across East Africa.

Maersk and Viaservice say the collaboration combines Viaservice’s digital financing expertise with Maersk’s logistics network to tackle a common challenge in the logistics ecosystem: timely access to trade finance that supports cargo movement and operational efficiency.

As part of the initiative, Viaservice and Maersk will run customer education and stakeholder engagement activities in Kenya to raise awareness, encourage adoption and maximise the platform’s benefits. The partners expect the collaboration to contribute to a more digitally enabled, resilient and efficient logistics sector while supporting Kenya’s broader trade and economic development agenda.

DX has expanded its dangerous goods transportation service across the mainland UK. The enhancement operates wholly within the Limited Quantity rules and is intended to give customers the ability to move a broader range of products through a single integrated logistics partner.

The Company, which first entered the sector with a biological materials service, now supports delivery of an extended list of approved dangerous goods via its parcel and pallet networks. This includes paints and coatings, cleaning chemicals, aerosols, adhesives and sealants, lubricants and oils, resins and solvents, industrial chemicals, lithium batteries and battery-powered equipment. The Company can also offer alternative solutions for consignments that fall outside its standard Limited Quantity service, preserving a single point of contact and consignment visibility for customers.

The enlarged service is supported by a newly launched online information hub designed to help customers check product eligibility for transport through the DX network and access guidance from a dedicated in‑house team. The hub will be expanded over time as the Company introduces additional tools and resources.

The expansion will reduce complexity for customers and deliver operational and cost advantages. Investing in specialist capabilities allows the Company to support a wider range of delivery requirements while maintaining service levels.

Militzer & Münch Group has launched a high‑performance door‑to‑door road service connecting Germany and the United Arab Emirates. The Company completed its first land shipment, moving 19 metric tons of industrial goods from Berlin to Dubai.

The transit time for the approximately 6,000‑kilometre route is about 14 to 16 days. For the inaugural shipment, self‑adhesive flat plastic products were loaded on EU pallets onto three enclosed box trucks at the customer site near Berlin and delivered directly to the consignee in Dubai. The Militzer & Münch branch in Bad Reichenhall handled export customs clearance; the consignee managed import clearance in the United Arab Emirates.

Because transit via Iran or Iraq is currently not possible, the route runs through the Levant. Road movements proceed from Germany through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Türkiye, then through Syria and Jordan to Saudi Arabia and onward to Dubai. The Company uses exclusively enclosed box trucks to protect high‑value consignments throughout the journey.

Transshipment at Bab al‑Hawa is a key operational step on the route: goods are transferred onto Jordanian trucks and special handling is required at the Syrian–Jordanian border, where precise documentation of weight, package counts and declared value is necessary to meet customs checks. After crossing Syria, the route includes nearly 2,000 kilometres across Saudi Arabia to the Al‑Batha border, followed by a final leg of about 500 kilometres to Dubai. The Company can also offer a faster direct transit option that avoids transshipment in Syria where customers seek reduced handling.

The first shipment proceeded as planned, supported by co‑ordination between the Berlin branch and Trade Lane Management. The Company has already received further enquiries for road transports between Germany and the United Arab Emirates, indicating potential for route expansion.

Menzies Aviation has launched Quick Pay, a new payment capability on its Menzies Aviation Cargo Handling (MACH) customer portal designed to simplify cargo payments and support faster cargo release.

Delivered in partnership with PayCargo, Quick Pay allows cargo customers to view charges linked to an air waybill (AWB) and complete payment through PayCargo using either an existing account or a guest checkout. The capability reduces manual payment steps and account-setup requirements, helping customers complete transactions more quickly at a time-sensitive stage of the air cargo journey.

Quick Pay is the latest enhancement to the MACH portal, which enables customers to track shipments by AWB reference and access information about the Company’s global cargo network. Since its launch in 2023, MACH has been deployed across 49 airports and has processed more than 1.6 million air waybills.

The Company said Quick Pay forms part of a wider digital transformation programme. Rory Fidler, SVP Cargo Technology at the Company, described the capability as an important step in the portal’s evolution that will reduce friction, improve visibility and help keep cargo moving.

Historically, cargo payment workflows have often required manual processes and account setups that can delay cargo release. Quick Pay provides a secure route for customers to view outstanding charges, review payment details and complete transactions via PayCargo, removing common points of delay.

FedEx has announced an expanded collaboration with Japan Post to provide customers in Japan with broader international shipping options and greater access to global markets, supporting both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) shipping needs.

Beginning in early August 2026, FedEx will support Japan Post’s U-Global Express (UGX) eCommerce shipping service to additional destinations across Europe, complementing its existing coverage in the US and Canada. The enhanced service provides customers in Japan with more options to connect with international customers through a reliable global shipping network.

The expanded collaboration also supports Japan Post’s launch of a new priority shipping service under UGX designed to meet the time-sensitive shipping needs of business customers in Japan. The service is available for shipments destined for the US, Canada, and select destinations in Europe and Korea.

Operations for the enhanced UGX services remain unchanged. Japan Post will continue to handle package acceptance and pickup through its extensive domestic network, while FedEx manages international air transportation, customs clearance, and final delivery in destination markets through its global network.

FedEx continues to invest in strengthening its network and service offerings to meet evolving customer demands and support the growth of international trade. The initiatives include:

> Expansion of the Eastern Japan gateway at Narita International Airport, featuring an advanced sorting system designed to handle growing cross-border e-commerce and freight volumes. The expanded facility is scheduled to open in phases from late 2026 through 2027.

> Strengthened intra-Asia connectivity with a new Guangzhou-Sydney non-stop flight, reducing transit times from Asian markets, including Japan, to Australia by up to one day.

KLN Logistics Group has launched a new road feeder service connecting Europe and the Middle East, providing a faster alternative to ocean freight and a more cost-effective option than air freight. The new 10,500-kilometre corridor offers door-to-door transit times of 15 to 25 days between Europe and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, and Egypt.

This service gives customers a viable option between ocean and air freight at a time when direct access into the region remains challenging. It enables businesses to continue selling and exporting to consignees across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region while reducing reliance on a single mode of transport, including dangerous goods shipments that require a dependable overland solution.

KLN manages the full journey under a single contract, from collection in Europe to final delivery in the Middle East, including customs compliance, permits, border coordination, and customs-escorted transit where required. The service is available for non-stackable palletised cargo weighing up to 23 tonnes per truck, including dangerous goods, with complete original shipping documentation required at origin and cargo insurance arranged by the shipper.

Moving dangerous goods across multiple borders requires careful management of documentation, permits, customs procedures and local regulations. This service provides customers with an established operating process and a single managed solution from origin to destination, helping to maintain the reliable movement of cargo into the region despite current access challenges.

The new corridor expands KLN’s overland network, supporting businesses seeking reliable alternatives for maintaining cargo flows between Europe, the GCC region and neighbouring Middle Eastern markets.

KARL LAGERFELD, the global fashion and lifestyle business founded by the renowned creative director, has expanded its partnership with Bleckmann, specialists in supply chain management for fashion and lifestyle brands.

The brand is now operating with a second European fulfilment operation at one of Bleckmann’s Spanish distribution centres, in the fashion logistics hub of Zaragoza. The operation, which went live in April, is dedicated to serving KARL LAGERFELD’s European outlet channel, handling warehousing, pick-and-pack services and B2B delivery to outlet stores. This is in addition to the brand’s existing European fulfilment hub, operated by Bleckmann in Almelo, the Netherlands. Bleckmann has supported KARL LAGERFELD with end-to-end warehousing and fulfilment across Europe since 2021.

Our ongoing relationship with Bleckmann has enabled us to deliver high service standards that our global consumers expect while simultaneously achieving meaningful operational efficiency gains

Spain’s leading position in the European logistics network is well established and increasingly hard to overlook for brands, with Zaragoza as a central node within Bleckmann’s Spanish logistics network. A truck leaving Zaragoza can reach many of Europe’s major cities in one to two days, making it an ideal base for both serving KARL LAGERFELD’s strong presence in southern Europe and pan-European distribution.

The area is home to Spain’s second-largest cargo airport and has good sea freight connections via Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao. In addition, most of Spain’s key commercial centres, accounting for a high proportion of the country’s GDP, are within a 350 km radius of the city. Combined with an established network of fashion and lifestyle logistics expertise, this provides key operational advantages and has made Zaragoza home to global brands.

The move, which went from green light to go-live in just three months, reflects the brand’s strategy of tailoring its logistics infrastructure to meet ongoing business needs. Bleckmann’s integrated inventory management system ensures that stock is expertly coordinated across both warehouses, meaning the move did not add further operational complexity.

The short timeline of the go-live, incorporating systems integrations, warehouse fit-out, process design and testing, demonstrates that, with the right partner and a dedicated warehousing footprint, complexity can be managed more efficiently than most expect. It also illustrates the strength of the collaboration throughout the five-year logistics partnership.

Together with KARL LAGERFELD, Bleckmann has worked to drive greater efficiency and operational resilience through a range of targeted measures. KARL LAGERFELD’s ongoing relationship with Bleckmann has enabled it to deliver high service standards that global consumers expect while simultaneously achieving meaningful operational efficiency gains.

DP World and Balco Australia have signed a new multi‑year logistics agreement to deepen a long‑standing partnership and bolster the export supply chain for Australia’s premium forage products.

Under the deal the Company will continue to provide integrated road transport, equipment management and supply‑chain coordination to move product from Balco’s regional production sites to export gateways and international markets. The arrangement is expected to support the movement of more than 10,000 twenty‑foot equivalent units (TEU) a year through dedicated transport and integrated logistics services.

The partnership includes investment in specialised transport assets and dedicated account management to meet Balco’s growing export requirements and long‑term international development. It will make use of the Company’s national logistics network to optimise end‑to‑end movements, improve reliability and strengthen supply‑chain resilience for Australia’s agricultural exports.

Combining the Company’s ports, transport and logistics capabilities will help Balco move exports more efficiently from regional Australia to global markets. The agreement will enhance supply‑chain resilience and operational efficiency as Balco expands internationally.

The deal is intended to reinforce support for regional economic development and to strengthen the competitiveness of Australian premium agricultural products in overseas markets.

Grospol has leased more than 6,400 m2 of warehouse space at Prologis Park Łódź to support its production plant in Brzeziny by assuming a substantial share of warehousing and distribution operations. The site will help the Company serve customers in Poland and across nine international markets, including Germany, France, Romania, Ukraine and Hungary.

The warehouse will allow the Company to separate production from distribution, streamline logistics management and accelerate order fulfilment, while remaining close to the Brzeziny plant and key transport links. Management also prioritised convenient public transport access and employee amenities when selecting the location.

Grospol is a Polish family-owned business that entered the furniture market in 2006 and began manufacturing chairs and seating under the Grospol and SNAPty brands in 2012. The Company operates a fully integrated production facility in Brzeziny with carpentry, paint, sewing and upholstery workshops and an on-site warehouse. It employs more than 150 people and produces furniture for offices, healthcare facilities, restaurants, schools and other commercial environments. Expansion of a network of more than 40 partner showrooms, together with rising online sales and exports, has increased the scale of the Company’s logistics needs.

Prologis Park Łódź, in the Widzew-Olechów district, lies about three kilometres from the A1 motorway and 10 kilometres from the Stryków interchange, where the A1 and A2 motorways meet, providing convenient access to domestic and international routes. Park features include two entrance gates, truck parking, 24-hour security, direct connection to the city’s public transport network, green recreation areas, a bicycle shelter and a multi-purpose sports court.

The lease was agreed under the Clear Lease structure, which fixes a single charge to cover routine upkeep, maintenance, repairs and administrative services while statutory charges and utilities are settled separately.

Swissport has opened a new temperature‑controlled cargo facility at Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania, boosting cold chain capacity for exporters in East Africa and reinforcing the Company’s specialist cargo handling network across the continent.

The operational 630 m2 facility replaces the airport’s previous cargo building from 1998 and was developed to relieve longstanding capacity constraints in Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, a leading horticultural production region. It is designed to handle up to 13,000 tons of cargo annually and can accommodate 36 built‑up cargo pallets, equivalent to about 180 tons of cargo.

Technical capability includes four temperature‑controlled chillers and one freezer supporting storage ranges from 2C to 25C, with dedicated frozen storage between -10C and -20C. The facility is intended to improve handling of perishable exports such as flowers, fresh produce, seafood and meat, while providing additional capability for pharmaceutical and other temperature‑sensitive shipments.

Digital features include an Integrated Weighing System linked to the Company’s cargo management platform, mobile cargo scanning and automated cargo tracking, aimed at improving shipment visibility, traceability and processing speed for airlines, freight forwarders and exporters.

The Kilimanjaro operation forms part of the Company’s wider strategy to expand specialised cargo infrastructure across Africa and complements Swissport’s established cargo activities in Dar es Salaam and other regional gateways including Johannesburg, Nairobi and Accra. The Company said the hub will support airlines, freight forwarders and exporters seeking improved access to global markets.

Sustainability measures at the site include the use of approximately 90.0% electric ground support equipment, energy‑efficient LED lighting and certification to ISO 14001 environmental management standards.

FIEGE will build a new single‑user logistics centre adjacent to its existing healthcare site on Münster‑Hessenweg in Münster, Germany. The property will provide more than 10,000 m2 of logistics capacity tailored to the pharmaceutical sector.

Developed by FIEGE Real Estate in close co‑ordination with a prospective pharmaceutical customer, the building comprises around 9,800 m2 of logistics space, a 1,000 m2 mezzanine and about 430 m2 of office area. The design includes LED lighting and an air‑to‑air heat pump for energy‑efficient operation, charge‑point infrastructure with 200 kilowatts capacity for electric trucks and a rooftop photovoltaic array of around 1,000 kilowatt peak intended to supply a substantial share of on‑site electricity demand. The technical infrastructure has been planned to allow future expansion.

The Company has long operated from Münster‑Hessenweg. Construction is scheduled to start in August 2026 with completion expected in June 2027. The Company is targeting a Gold certificate from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) for the new building. The site benefits from nearby pharmaceutical production facilities, good traffic links and access to local skilled labour, factors cited by the Company as supporting the expansion.

Kuehne + Nagel has invested in a new Container Freight Station (CFS) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Scheduled for completion in June 2027, the facility will provide more than 20,000 m2 of warehouse space, helping customers manage growing trade volumes and move goods more efficiently within Cambodia and across the region.

Cambodia continues to strengthen its trade infrastructure, with Phnom Penh Autonomous Port handling around 600,000 TEUs and Sihanoukville Autonomous Port approximately 1.3 million TEUs in 2025. Complementing this growth, the new CFS is strategically located near key transport gateways, including both ports, Phnom Penh International Airport and cross-border road links to Thailand and Vietnam, facilitating cargo movements across the country and supporting regional logistics operations.

This investment will more than triple the Company’s CFS capacity in Cambodia and strengthen its logistics capabilities in the country. With direct access to key transportation gateways and regional trade corridors, the facility will support customers in the consumer good industry as they navigate evolving supply chains and growing trade opportunities across the region.

Designed for cargo consolidation and handling operations, the new CFS will feature a raised-floor warehouse equipped with loading doors and dock levellers. It will offer a floor loading capacity of five tonnes per square metre and is expected to be certified to ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards.

The facility will also incorporate sustainability features including solar panels, skylight roofing, LED lighting, battery-operated forklifts, water infiltration systems and rainwater management infrastructure.

The investment reflects Kuehne + Nagel’s continued focus on strengthening its logistics infrastructure in high-growth markets and supporting the expansion of regional and international trade.

Mars The Label has opened its first US logistics centre, in Ohio. The facility means that the Manchester, UK-based fashion label can hold local inventory in one of its fastest-growing markets and provide next-day delivery across the mainland US.

This represents a service upgrade for American shoppers, who will now receive orders on next-day timelines comparable to the UK, with express options for Alaska and Hawaii.

Styles that sell out in the US can also be fulfilled from the Company’s UK warehouse, improving availability across both markets.

The Ohio centre marks the brand's first physical footprint outside the UK and its most significant operational investment in the US market to date.

DeepFabric, the provider of the definitive AI agent platform built for supply chain operations, has announced a strategic partnership with Kenco. The partnership reflects Kenco's commitment to embedding AI into how it operates, not as a standalone experiment, but as a coordinated operating capability across the business.

The first six agents are live across Kenco's day-to-day operations. The agents are designed to reduce manual, time-consuming work and sharpen decision-making, giving Kenco teams more time to focus on the complex, high-judgment work that defines a world-class 3PL. For Kenco customers, that translates into faster response times, greater accuracy, and more consistent service across the network.

Kenco put its first six agents into production in three months, without disrupting service to a single customer, and is on a path to 20 across the enterprise over the next year. Kenco needs to stay agile for customers, providing faster response times, sharper insights, and scaling without missing a beat.

DeepFabric's agent platform is purpose-built for supply chain operations. Each agent operates with workflow context, systems access, permissions, evidence trails, and human review paths built in. Teams can inspect agent work, approve or override outputs, and expand to new workflows as value is demonstrated. The platform is designed to work alongside existing systems and teams, not replace them.

Kenco's approach distinguishes between two complementary areas of AI investment: agentic AI, which completes tasks within defined guardrails, and generative AI, which creates content and surfaces insights. DeepFabric powers the agentic layer, handling structured operational workflows with the consistency and audit trail that enterprise logistics demands. Kenco's teams maintain accountability and decision authority throughout.

Kenco is e not chasing AI for the headline. They are deploying agents into the real work: the bids, the audits, the exceptions, the client relationships. And they are building a foundation that gets stronger with every workflow they add, a disciplined, evidence-based adoption.

Einride has announced a defence initiative aimed at delivering protected autonomous logistics capabilities for defence and national security customers.

Einride’s autonomous driving technology and AI-powered freight intelligence platform will help defence organisations move supplies through contested environments. A partnership with Centinus will provide real-time threat detection, counter-UAS monitoring, and force protection capabilities, further strengthening the resilience of autonomous logistics operations.

Logistics has always been the decisive edge in warfare, and autonomous logistics changes the calculus entirely. Einride Driver gives armed forces a proven autonomous logistics backbone, and layering operational protection on top of it turns that into a capability designed for real-world deployment conditions.

Einride established a dedicated defence business unit after securing pilot contracts with a European NATO-allied defence organisation, and currently co-leads development of an autonomous tracked vehicle for a Swedish civil and military preparedness initiative. The Company estimates the addressable market for its dual-use offering across the US, EU, and other NATO countries to be between US$7.0 billion and US$13.0 billion through 2030.

Defence customers will judge autonomous logistics not just on the strength of the driving platform, but on whether the full operation, routes, staging areas, depots, and the airspace above them, are protected end to end.

Partnering with Einride allows Centinus to layer operational intelligence and protection capabilities onto a leading autonomous logistics platform to help deliver a more resilient end-to-end solution for defence operations.

Yusen Logistics (Americas) Inc. has entered a strategic collaboration with Destro AI, a provider of an AI-powered human-robot collaboration and Physical AI platform for warehouse operations. The deployment is part of Yusen's ongoing investment in intelligent warehouse technologies designed to improve operational efficiency, increase execution consistency, and deliver even greater value to customers.

Transload operations are among the most demanding workflows in logistics. Freight must move quickly through inbound receiving, staging, dock operations, and outbound shipping while teams respond to changing freight volumes, labour availability, and customer delivery requirements. Maintaining speed, accuracy, and flexibility requires real-time coordination across people, equipment, and material movement.

Through this collaboration, Yusen Logistics is deploying Destro's AI-powered platform to help coordinate these activities in real time. The technology continuously analyses warehouse conditions and helps optimise work assignments for both employees and autonomous mobile robots, improving throughput while reducing manual coordination. The platform also provides real-time operational visibility that supports faster decision-making, safer operations, and more consistent execution.

The initial deployment focuses on optimising cart movements within Yusen Logistics' transload operations. As the collaboration evolves, Yusen Logistics plans to evaluate additional automation capabilities, including pallet movement and AI-powered workflow verification, as part of its broader strategy to enhance warehouse productivity while maintaining the flexibility customers expect from a leading logistics provider.

The collaboration represents another step in Yusen Logistics' broader strategy to expand intelligent automation across its logistics network. By combining advanced technologies with the expertise of its operations teams, Yusen Logistics continues to strengthen its ability to help customers build more resilient, efficient, and responsive supply chains.

BMW has partnered with 4flow, a leading global provider of custom, end-to-end supply chain solutions, to reduce costs across its transportation network. The cornerstone of the collaboration is the transportation and material planning software 4flow TORO, which was successfully implemented at eight BMW plants across Europe. Using the software, BMW has been able to significantly reduce transportation costs and increase the average size of individual shipments.

BMW's highly complex transportation network spans over 140 countries and includes more than 30 production plants and over 2,000 suppliers. Approximately 30 million parts move through the network each day.

With the goal of increasing efficiency, BMW chose to collaborate with 4flow and implement 4flow TORO. The software connects seamlessly with BMW’s existing ERP system. It integrates transportation and material planning to enable cross-functional optimisation of material orders, automatically taking planning constraints into account. With this software support, BMW can consolidate shipments and significantly reduce transportation costs without affecting material availability or significantly increasing inventory requirements. The system was fully functional at the first plant within just six months.

In collaboration with 4flow, BMW has optimised its transportation costs and positioned itself as a leader in efficient automotive logistics. Building on this success, BMW is currently planning further rollouts of 4flow TORO to additional plants. BMW also intends to extend its use of the software to full truckload (FTL) shipments.

The Rhenus Group has entered a strategic partnership with shipzero to offer customers an audit‑ready Book and Claim solution designed to reduce the climate impact of global transports across air, ocean and road. The Hamburg‑based shipzero platform provides multimodal coverage and supports alternative fuels and battery‑electric vehicles.

Rhenus, which relies largely on external transport capacity, is introducing Book and Claim to address emissions where it has limited control over the underlying assets. Book and Claim allows companies to support lower‑emission transport solutions outside the physical transport chain of a specific shipment, with the climate benefit allocated through a verified accounting system. The Company said shipzero’s auditable platform reduces reliance on manual processes and data handling.

Under the agreement, customers can apply the Book and Claim solution on a single‑shipment basis or through larger, ongoing or retroactive agreements across Rhenus air, ocean and road operations. shipzero’s methodology has been audited by Müller‑BBM Cert and complies with the Smart Freight Centre MBM Framework, ISO14083 and the GLEC Framework, enabling reductions to be reported separately from Scope 1–3 emissions under GHG Protocol guidance.

The partnership is intended to support the Rhenus Group’s Science Based Targets initiative ambition by scaling battery‑electric vehicles, SAF and SMF with carriers where direct asset control is limited. The approach provides an auditable foundation for credible decarbonisation efforts as more companies commit to SBTi targets.

Royal Mail has added 20 Neomor D01 micro electric vehicles (MEVs) to its zero‑emission fleet for deployment on delivery routes across the UK.

The vehicles form part of Royal Mail’s plan to achieve a 100.0% zero‑emission final‑mile fleet by 2035 and to reach Net‑Zero by 2040. The D01s are intended to improve efficiency on dense urban rounds where larger vans can struggle with narrow streets and limited parking.

The Neomor D01 offers a payload of up to 290kg and a 2.5 m3 cargo hold and can cover a full postal round. It charges from a standard three‑pin plug, removing the need for specialist charging infrastructure, a key advantage for delivery offices with constrained yard space or limited grid capacity.

The D01 is manufactured by Derry under the Neomor brand and is supplied and supported in the UK by JLC EV from its East Sussex headquarters. JLC EV will provide aftersales service, parts supply and fleet management guidance to customers, and said it plans to expand its range with larger panel and commercial vans in due course.

Two new zero-emission electric prime movers have been added to Linfox’s fleet serving Bunnings. The new co-branded Volvo FM electric prime movers will work out of Bunnings’ Dandenong Distribution Centre. They will be used for deliveries to Bunnings’ warehouses around the Melbourne metropolitan area.

The two companies’ partnership started in 2008. They have a shared commitment to reducing their impact on the environment.

Following a request from DFDS’ largest shareholder, Lauritzen Fonden Holding ApS, made pursuant to section 89 of the Danish Companies Act and article 5.4 of the Company’s Articles of Association, DFDS will convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to propose the election of Niels Smedegaard and Jan Johan Kühl as new members of the Board of Directors (“the Board”).

In light of the development of DFDS’ future strategy and subsequent execution, Lauritzen Fonden Holding ApS believes that it would be in the best interests of DFDS to appoint a new Chair at this stage.

Lauritzen Fonden Holding ApS has therefore proposed Claus V. Hemmingsen to step down from the Board, and the Board thereafter to elect a new Chair following the EGM.

Claus V. Hemmingsen has served on the Board since March 2012, initially as Vice Chair and, since 2017 as Chair, with his current term running until the Annual General Meeting in 2027. In connection with the proposal, Lauritzen Fonden Holding ApS expresses its sincere appreciation for his substantial contribution, commitment and leadership throughout his tenure on the Board.

Having considered the proposal, Claus V. Hemmingsen has informed the Board of his decision to step down in connection with the EGM.

The shareholder-elected members of the Board, Kristian V. Mørch, Minna Aila, Anders Götzsche, Jill Lauritzen Melby and Dirk Reich, as well as the employee-elected members, Marianne Henriksen, Lars Skjold-Hansen and Otto Wagner Ingstrup, are not up for election at the EGM and will continue to serve on the Board.

Niels Smedegaard served as CEO of DFDS from 2007 to 2019 and currently holds several chair and board positions, including Chair of ISS A/S, Falck A/S and Nordic Ferry Infrastructure. Jan Johan Kühl is Managing Partner of Polaris Management A/S, a Nordic investment company and fund manager. He is nominated by Lauritzen Fonden Holding ApS in his own capacity. For transparency, Jan Johan Kühl has requested that it be disclosed that Polaris Private Equity V K/S holds 4.02% of the shares and voting rights in DFDS.

The EGM will be convened separately and is expected to be held on 08 September 2026. The notice is expected to be published in a separate company announcement on 14 August 2026 and will include further information of the candidates’ qualifications and the rationale for their nomination.
