CMA CGM has reported financial statements for the first quarter of 2025. In an unstable geopolitical context marked by unprecedented trade tensions, the Group delivered solid performance in the first quarter, driven by the strength of its shipping activity and long-term investments, particularly in terminals.

The global shipping and logistics market has been weathering a highly volatile period since the start of the year. Rising tensions from the introduction of trade barriers, combined with destabilising geopolitical conflicts, are disrupting the operation of supply chains, which now need to be adapted to the new situation. Underpinned by solid fundamentals and an ambitious strategy, the Group delivered robust first-quarter results, demonstrating its ability to quickly adapt to market developments while continuing to make key investments across its entire value chain in support of its customers and its commitments to innovation and decarbonization.

After the many operational challenges of 2024 caused by the situation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, 2025 got underway against a backdrop of market uncertainty created by escalating geopolitical tensions and a resumption of the trade war between the US and China. Nevertheless, demand for transport and logistics services remained buoyant, enabling the Group to deliver a solid performance for the first quarter of 2025.

Revenue stood at US$13.3 billion in the first quarter of 2025, driven mostly by the Group’s maritime shipping business. EBITDA totalled US$3.1 billion, 29.1% higher than in first-quarter 2024. EBITDA margin came in at 23.3%, up 3.1 points.

> Shipping

CMA CGM carried 5.8 million TEUs in the first quarter of 2025, up 4.2% from the prior-year period. The increase can be attributed to sustained global trade and demand for freight transport in the first quarter. Consolidated revenue from maritime shipping operations amounted to US$8.8 billion over the quarter, up 11.5% year on year. EBITDA totalled US$2.5 billion, 30.0% higher than in first-quarter 2024. EBITDA margin came in at 28.9%, up 4.1 points. Average revenue per TEU amounted to US$1,498, up 7.1% year on year.

> Logistics

In the first quarter, the Group's logistics activities continued to grow, boosted in particular by the consolidation of Bolloré Logistics on 29 February 2024, and good momentum in Contract Logistics. Automotive market challenges hampered the performance of the Finished Vehicle Logistics and Road Haulage businesses, particularly in Europe. Revenue from logistics activities totalled US$4.3 billion in the first quarter of the year. EBITDA stood at US$399.0 million, a 10.5% increase on first-quarter 2024.

> Other activities

Revenue from other activities (port terminals, CMA CGM Air Cargo, CMA Media, etc.) increased by 30.9% to US$833.0 million. EBITDA rose by 91.5% to US$157.0 million, driven by the inclusion of RMC BFM in the scope of consolidation and a good performance in terminals and air freight.

The start of 2025 was shaped by a deteriorating geopolitical environment and the announcement of a significant increase in customs duties by countries such as the US and China. If fully implemented, such measures could have a long-term impact on international trade volumes, while the Red Sea shipping disruptions observed throughout 2024 persist. Visibility of trends in global trade remains limited and depends on potential tariff policy announcements and new geopolitical developments. Effective capacity management, cost control, route diversification, and transformation through investment in optimisation, monitoring and forecasting technologies are essential to maintaining competitiveness. The CMA CGM Group is taking care to adapt to this complex environment and anticipate market dynamics in order to seize profitable growth opportunities while limiting the risks associated with this phase of instability.

Nippon Express has acquired a 20.0% shareholding in Cold Chain Bangladesh Limited ("CCBL"), a logistics company engaged in domestic logistics operations in Bangladesh.

NX entered the Bangladesh logistics market in 2012 and expanded the business primarily through providing international forwarding services, focusing on the apparel industry. Now, in response to growing demand for domestic logistics services and to expand its customer base in Bangladesh, it has decided to further strengthen its domestic logistics operations in Bangladesh.

CCBL, headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is a third-party logistics company specialising in domestic distribution logistics. CCBL has a nationwide logistics infrastructure with the capabilities for handling all types of goods, including those requiring temperature-controlled storage and transportation.

The strategy is to strengthen the NX domestic Bangladesh logistics business by leveraging CCBL's domestic logistics network and assets, thereby capturing logistics opportunities arising from growing domestic demand. Further, by leveraging its global logistics network, including forwarding, NX will provide end-to-end solutions for customers' supply chains.

NX aim to realise growth opportunities in Bangladesh at an early stage through this investment in the Bangladesh logistics market, thereby contributing to value creation for customers and stakeholders.

CCBL operates 13 sites in 10 cities in Bangladesh (with temperature-controlled storage, running 50 vehicles (including temperature-controlled vehicles), providing warehousing and deliveries, domestic truck transportation and other value-added services.

Waberer’s International Nyrt. significantly improved its profitability in Q1, 2025. EBIT rose by 29.3%, and profit before tax increased by over 193.0%, exceeding €10.0 million. Listed in the Premium category of the Budapest Stock Exchange, the Group’s insurance division notably boosted both premium income and profit following the acquisition of the Posta Insurance companies. By 2031, Waberer’s aims to achieve €1.7 billion in revenue and EBIT surpassing €100.0 million, with the strategic goal of becoming one of the leading integrated logistics service providers in the Central and Eastern European region.

Despite a slight decline, essentially a stagnation, in revenue, Waberer’s Group posted improved profitability in the first quarter of 2025, according to its latest earnings report.

Revenue amounted to €194.4 million, representing a 1.2% decrease compared to €196.7 million in Q1 2024. Meanwhile, EBIT reached €11.0 million, marking a 29.3% year-on-year increase. Profit before tax jumped to €10.1 million (up 193.3%), and net profit rose to €7.5 million from €1.1 million a year earlier, an impressive 585.0% surge. The EBIT margin climbed to 5.7%, up from 4.3% in Q1 2024.

Waberer’s Group has significantly expanded and diversified its operations over the past two years. It has invested in rail logistics, entered the Serbian distribution market, launched major warehouse development projects, and started building an sea and air freight service portfolio. In insurance, the acquisition of the Posta Insurance companies has expanded non-life services, and it also entered the life insurance segment, which delivered particularly strong performance last quarter. As a result of these initiatives, Waberer’s increased its EBIT-generating capacity by nearly 30.0% in Q1, despite stagnating or declining volumes in core warehousing, distribution, and transportation activities due to macroeconomic trends in Hungary and across Europe.

Waberer’s Group has further enhanced the transparency of its business structure and simplified its operations. Instead of the previous three divisions, International Transportation (ITS), Regional Contract Logistics (RCL), and Insurance, the Group now operates under two main segments: Logistics and Insurance.

Revenue in the logistics segment decreased by 10.0% year-on-year to €156.0 million. This decline was partly due to a strategic reduction in fleet size at LINK, the Group’s Polish subsidiary, and partly due to a restructuring of the customer portfolio in in-house logistics. The decrease was partially offset by growing revenues from waste transportation and third-party warehouse development activities. EBIT in this segment totalled €1.4 million, which is €1.2 million lower than the same period last year. The decline was driven by weaker in-house logistics results, depressed international freight rates, stagnant macroeconomic conditions in Hungary and Europe, and reduced domestic logistics volumes.

The insurance segment, on the other hand, achieved impressive growth. The results of the newly acquired Posta Insurance companies were fully reflected in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue grew by 87.0% to €39.0 million, while EBIT increased by 62.0% to €9.6 million year-on-year. While the performance of Gránit Insurance slightly declined compared to the base period, mainly due to lower investment income following the acquisition expenditure, this was offset by the strong results of Posta Life Insurance, driven by a successful campaign promoting single-premium combined life insurance products.

Looking ahead, Waberer’s primary objective is to become the leading integrated logistics service provider in the Central and Eastern European region. To support this goal, the company plans to invest at least €400.0 million between 2025 and 2030, focusing on developing a nationwide warehouse network and supporting regional expansion. According to its strategic roadmap, the Group expects to reach €1.7 billion in revenue and over €100.0 million in EBIT by 2031.

Singapore Post (SingPost) announced its earnings for the full year ended 31 March 2025 (FY24/25), reporting a net profit of S$245.1 million, which includes an exceptional gain from the divestment of its Australia business.

The Group recorded a net exceptional gain of S$222.2 million for the full year. This comprised largely of a gain on disposal of SingPost Australia Investments Pty Ltd (“SPAI”) of S$302.1 million and fair value gain on properties of S$15.2 million, offset partially by impairment charges of S$79.6 million primarily for Quantium Solutions.

Excluding the net exceptional gain, underlying net profit fell by 40.3% year-on-year to S$24.8 million. The second half saw the business record a net loss of S$0.5 million, a contrast to the S$28.1 million profit in the same period last year. This downturn reflects the intensifying challenging and uncertain conditions in the global logistics sector

Full-year revenue was S$813.7 million2, a 7.5% year-on-year decrease, primarily driven by headwinds in its international segment, which saw revenue decline by 11.2% to S$494.3 million. The Singapore segment registered a modest increase of 2.9% in revenue to S$326.7 million, underpinned by the Property business which recorded a strong 11.9% increase in revenue to S$86.9 million. Within the International segment, the freight forwarding business - Famous Holdings group - showed positive momentum, although the overall segment performance was more muted.

The global economic outlook remains clouded by ongoing trade tensions following the imposition of US tariffs and retaliatory measures by key trading partners. These developments have disrupted international trade flows, created greater volatility in supply chains and weakened global economic forecasts. In the logistics sector, the impact has been particularly pronounced. Cross-border logistics volumes have come under pressure. This, along with geo-political tension, has led to a more uncertain and challenging operating environment. These challenging conditions intensified in the second half of FY24/25 and are expected to persist into the coming financial year (FY25/26).

After the divestment of the Australia business, the Group has taken steps to sharpen its focus on its core business including streamlining its operations to right size the cost base. Following the review of the International cross-border business by the Board, it has been reintegrated into the Singapore postal and logistics business to achieve business synergies and drive operational efficiencies. The cross-border business will continue to be part of SingPost’s product offering, leveraging the international postal network.

Efforts are also underway to strengthen the Singapore postal and logistics operations for greater efficiency, with a S$30.0 million investment in a new automation system to expand processing capacity for small parcels at the Regional eCommerce Logistics Hub facility, creating a pathway for future growth. SingPost remains engaged with the Singapore Government on the future operating model that will place the postal service on a profitable and sustainable footing.

The Property business continues to generate steady income and cashflows.

The review and reset of the Group’s strategy is ongoing. The Group remains committed to disciplined capital management, safeguarding cash flow and exercising cost prudence to preserve financial strength. The Group also continues to explore opportunities to progressively divest and unlock the value of non-core businesses and assets. The proceeds from the sale of the Australia business have been allocated to debt reduction, shareholder returns, strengthening the Group’s balance sheet and funding future growth of the business.

The Port of Hamburg recorded a strong throughput result in the first quarter of the current year, despite the challenging geopolitical and economic environment. This emphasises the outstanding economic importance of the Port of Hamburg for Germany and Europe. More goods were moved across the quayside in almost all areas of the all-purpose port. Seaborne cargo throughput rose by 3.1% year-on-year to 28.3 million tonnes. Hamburg is, therefore, the only one of the three largest European ports with a positive trend in seaborne cargo throughput.

In the first three months of this year, the Port of Hamburg handled 2.0 million TEU (19.9 million tonnes). This corresponds to growth of 6.3% (+4.7%) compared to the same period last year. This shows the port managed to achieve the strongest relative growth of the major western ports.

The strong traffic with the Far East countries, which also led to an increase in container throughput, contributed significantly to this. The new liner services with the growth market of India also had a positive impact. At a total of 60,000 TEU, container throughput grew by 39.6%. Only Malaysia, with an increase of 50.6% to 54,000 TEU, showed stronger growth. There were signs of a recovery in throughput with China, the largest trading partner. At 597,000 TEU, this represented an increase of 11.3%. By contrast, trade with the US showed the first effects of the Trump administration’s measures. Many US warehouses were filled towards the end of last year. Container throughput in the Port of Hamburg for the US trade lane was correspondingly lower in the first quarter. It fell by 19.0% to 145,000 TEU.

The Port of Hamburg also saw an upward trend in conventional general cargo. With an increase of 3.5%, throughput rose to 280,000 tonnes. Together with container throughput, general cargo throughput recorded an overall increase of 4.7% to 20.2 million tonnes.

From January to March 2025, throughput of bulk goods remained stable overall at 8.1 million tonnes (-0.8%). Throughput of grabbable cargo in the port declined (-5.8%) due to lower demand as a result of the energy transition; coal and ores correspondingly saw lower rail transport volumes, with 10.9 million tonnes (-5.7%) loaded onto the railways from January to March. Throughput of suction cargo fell by 14.3%, while liquid cargo performed very well with an increase of 23.6%.

While transhipment traffic in particular has suffered from the geopolitical conditions in recent times, it has shown an upward throughput result at the beginning of the year with an increase of 15.3% to 723,000 TEU. The reasons for this are the addition of new liner services, from which volumes are transported onwards by feeder ship, and the possible acquisition of transhipment volumes as part of the restructuring of the shipping company alliances. Hinterland traffic increased to 1.3 million TEU (+1.8%). In turn, this benefited the railways, which transported 645,000 TEU (+0.7%) according to preliminary figures.

After the approval of Canadian Competition Authorities, SGL Group has completed the previously announced acquisition, on 19 December 2024, of ITN Logistics Group in Canada. ITN is a leading privately owned Canadian freight forwarder offering a full suite of global logistics solutions across transport modes.

Headquartered in Toronto and with four locations in Canada, ITN will strengthen SGL’s Canadian operations by bringing additional scale and increased market share.

Most importantly, ITN will bring additional human capital of more than 250 employees with comprehensive industry knowledge; people with a perfect match to SGL Group’s DNA and culture.

InPost Group has reported a set of strong first quarter financial results and accelerated expansion of its out-of-home delivery network. Parcel volume reached 272.0 million, +12.0% YoY as revenue climbed to PLN3.0 billion, +21.7% YoY (+29.0% ex. FX). Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN0.9 billion, +23.7% YoY.

InPost Group's parcel volume reached 27.02 million, a 12.0% year-over-year (YoY) increase, outperforming e-commerce market growth in its key geographies. The UK segment led with a 39.0% YoY volume increase, followed by the Eurozone at 11.0% YoY (with B2C growing at 29.0% YoY), and Poland at 10.0% YoY.

The Group started 2025 with significant revenue growth, achieving PLN2,951.9 million, a 21.7% YoY improvement. This was driven by particularly strong performance in the UK & Ireland, with a 145.0% YoY increase, while Poland and the Eurozone saw growth rates of 11.0% and 14.0% YoY, respectively.

Group Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN940.2 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a 23.7% YoY increase. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 31.9%, marking a 52bps improvement compared to Q1 2024. This was primarily driven by Poland, supported by margin improvements in both the Eurozone and the UK & Ireland segment.

Volume in Poland increased by 10.0% YoY, exceeding eCommerce market growth. SME merchants were the primary driver, with 18.0% YoY growth. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 47.9% in Q1 2025, supported by changing volume structure and effective cost control.

Eurozone B2C expansion and profitability improvement: Eurozone parcel volume reached 73.5 million, an 11.0% YoY increase. Revenue grew by 13.5% YoY (17.0% in local currency, EUR), with Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing to 13.5% compared to 10.0% a year earlier. This growth was driven by higher volume, increasing APM adoption and operational leverage.

High dynamic growth in the UK across all levels: In the UK and Ireland, InPost delivered 24.0 million parcels in Q1 2025 (a 39.0% YoY increase), while revenue increased by 144.8%. Adjusted EBITDA tripled, and margins improved due to efficiency gains and the consolidation of Menzies. In April, InPost acquired Yodel, which will be consolidated starting from May 2025.

The Company is also strengthening relationships with merchants. This week, it launched a partnership with ASOS, offering exclusive next-day delivery to lockers and PUDO points in the UK. Recently, it announced a multi-year contract with Vinted, Europe's leading marketplace for second-hand fashion. In Poland, it has broadened its offer for Amazon, demonstrating its ability to support major marketplaces and merchants in the region.

Looking ahead, at the Group level for Q2 2025, the Company anticipate YoY growth in the low to mid-twenties percent range. In Poland, it expects YoY volume growth at high single digit, continuing to outpace a softer Q2 eCommerce market. Internationally, it is forecasting approximately 50.0% growth in InPost volume YoY, which includes the consolidation of Yodel starting from May 2025.

Outlook FY 2025 & Q2 2025 trading update

This outlook has been revised: (1) to reflect new reporting segments, and (2) to include Yodel consolidation starting from May 2025, affecting volume, revenue and profitability.

Group volume +25-30% YoY
InPost expect to increase market share in all markets and expect YoY Group volume in the high 20s level, coming from a mix of:
i) high single-digit to low double-digit InPost volume growth in Poland, exceeding market growth, yet with landing within that range depending on eCommerce market development in H2 2025,
ii) high single-digit to low double-digit InPost volume growth in Eurozone markets,
iii) UK volumes to triple on the back of Yodel consolidation and APM network expansion.

Group revenue +35-40% YoY
InPost expect YoY Group revenue to grow in the high 30s to low 40s range. Poland and Eurozone revenue to grow slightly above volume due to mix effect and repricing. UK revenue, including Menzies and Yodel consolidation, to triple YoY.

EBITDA growth +20-25% YoY
InPost expect an Adjusted EBITDA increase in the low to mid-twenties.
Adjusted EBITDA margin:
i) to stabilize in Poland at mid-40s,
ii) to improve YoY in Eurozone,
iii) In the UK & Ireland adjusted EBITDA margin to decrease YoY due to the consolidation of Yodel.
Group Adjusted EBITDA margin to be lower YoY on the back of increasing share of the UK.

Armlogi Holding Corp. has announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter and nine months ended 31 March 2025. Financial results for the three months ended 31 March 2025 saw total revenue increase by approximately US$7.4 million, or 19.3%, to US$45.8 million. This growth reflects continued demand for services. Costs of sales increased by approximately US$10.5 million, or 29.8%, to US$45.6 million. This increase is primarily attributed to higher operational costs associated with service delivery and the expansion of the Company’s operational footprint. Overall gross profit was US$0.28 million, a decrease from US$3.32 million for the same period in 2024. Consequently, the gross profit margin was approximately 0.6% for the current quarter, compared to approximately 8.6% in the prior year’s quarter. This reduction in gross margin reflects the aforementioned increased costs of sales. As a result of these factors, the Company reported a loss from operations of US$4.19 million for the three months, compared to income from operations of US$0.05 million for the same period in 2024.

Financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2025 saw total revenue increase by approximately US$17.8 million, or 14.6%, to US$139.5 million. This growth underscores the sustained demand for the Company’s comprehensive logistics solutions. Costs of sales increased by approximately US$36.85 million, or 35.0%, to US$142.3 million. This increase reflects the costs associated with an expanded operational footprint, investments in service capabilities, and certain market pressures that increased costs of resources necessary for operations. The overall gross loss was US$2.85 million, a shift from a gross profit of US$16.23 million for the same 9M period in 2024. This has resulted in a negative gross profit margin of approximately (2.0)% for the current nine-month period, compared to a positive margin of 13.3% in the prior year’s period. The Company reported a loss from operations of US$13.65 million for the 9M period, compared to income from operations of US$8.13 million for the same period in 2024.

While the results reflect continued revenue growth, which underscores the ongoing demand for the Company’s logistics solutions, at the same time, it continues to face significant operational investments and market-related cost pressures that have impacted profitability. It is diligently working to optimise an expanded warehouse footprint and enhance operational efficiencies across all service lines.

Agility Global reported Q1 2025 earnings of US$21.2 million, down 30.0%. EBIT stood at US$91.9 million (down 4.0%), EBITDA at US$172.9 million (up 5.0%) and revenue US$1,143.0 million (up 17.0%).

As of 31 March 2025, Agility’s investment segment has a carrying value of roughly US$5.1 billion, bringing the balance sheet to US$11.8 billion in assets and US$5.3 billion in total equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company.

Underlying operational momentum remains positive. The Group delivered good operational performance in Q1 2025, supported by organic growth across core businesses. However, net profit was impacted by higher depreciation expenses from new operating leases required for business growth, and higher interest expense since the Company was capitalised in May 2024 as part of the listing process as well as higher utilisation of debt relative to Q1 2024. Furthermore, the Company has taken tax provisions related to the implementation of Pillar Two (global minimum effective corporate tax rate).

> Controlled Segment
For Q1 2025, the consolidated EBIT of the controlled businesses was US$79.0 million; EBITDA was US$160.0 million; and revenue was US$1,143.0 million.

> Aviation Services: Menzies
Menzies Aviation revenue reached US$649.0 million in Q1 2025, representing 13.0% growth over the same period in 2024. This growth was mainly driven by an increase in volumes as a result of new operations in Portugal and Spain, expansion into Serbia, along with winter activity plus yield improvements. Over the same period, reported EBITDA grew by 4.0% with almost all material divisions and service lines showing growth. Adjusted for non-recurring items booked in 2024, adjusted EBITDA and EBIT for the quarter would have shown a 13.0% and 24.0% increase from same period last year.

> Fuel Logistics: Tristar
Tristar, a fully integrated fuel logistics business, reported a US$340.0 million revenue increase of 35.0% from Q1, 2024. The top line increase was mainly driven by growth in the Fuel segment as a result of the new Sri Lanka retail fuel business, which began in the second half of 2024. EBITDA reached US$60.0 million, and EBIT was US$26.0 million, decreases of 7.0% and 33.0% respectively. This was driven by a one-off gain booked in 2024 and higher depreciation expense this quarter, from commitment to charter new vessels to activities intended to support business growth. The management is actively working on action plans to improve performance for the remainder of the year. Tristar group has a healthy pipeline of growth opportunities, especially in infrastructure capacity building. Those opportunities are concentrated in the Maritime and Fuel storage businesses.

> Industrial Real Estate: Agility Logistics Parks
Agility Logistics Parks (ALP), a leading developer of warehouse parks and light industrial facilities, reported revenue of US$14.0 million, an increase of 8.0%. EBIT was US$9.0 million for the quarter. Strong demand for world-class warehousing is fuelling the growth of ALP, especially in Saudi Arabia where occupancy rates remained high. ALP continues to benefit from strong market fundamentals driven by ongoing economic diversification initiatives in Saudi Arabia. ALP is currently developing a total of 226,000 m2 of new warehousing space in Jeddah and Riyadh to be delivered during 2025 and early 2026, and revenue will be booked accordingly. ALP will continue to look for opportunities in the markets where it operates and in new potential markets.

> Investment Segment
Agility Global holds non-controlling minority stakes in a number of businesses, both listed and non-listed. As of 31 March 2025, the carrying value of those stakes was roughly US$5.1 billion. The Company’s largest holdings in this segment are in DSV and Reem Mall. Agility Global owns 19.3 million shares of DSV, making it one of the Denmark-based company’s largest shareholders. Agility Global maintains a positive long-term view on its investment in DSV because of the Company’s strong fundamentals, global market position, and proven track record of value-accretive growth.

NTG Nordic Transport Group has published its interim report for Q1 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, NTG Group announced two acquisitions: Danish freight forwarder DTK and the UK-based group that owns EDS Worldwide and Rolls Freight. Each transaction supports NTG’s growth strategy, creating a stronger foundation for future expansion within key segments and markets.

Both Road & Logistics and Air & Ocean divisions delivered revenue growth, compared to the same period last year. Road & Logistics’ growth was mainly driven by slightly higher freight rates, market share gains, and the Schmalz+Schön and ITC Logistic acquisitions. The European road market continues to be muted, especially due to a weak German market.

Macroeconomic developments have been characterised by high uncertainty, impacted by threats of tariffs and other trade barriers, fluctuating consumer spending, and varying government policies. The Road & Logistics division has successfully implemented price increases in several key markets, while freight rates in challenged markets such as Germany remained flat due to the current market conditions.

Compared to the same period last year, revenue growth in the Air & Ocean division was primarily driven by slightly higher rates on certain trade lanes, the integration of Schmalz+Schön, and the division’s ability to increase activity in key markets.

Group net revenue increased by 24.9% in Q1 2025, to DKK 2,695 million. Organic growth totalled 4.9%, primarily driven by higher freight rates, start-ups, and market share gains. Acquired growth totalled 19.2%, primarily driven by the acquisitions of Schmalz+Schön and ITC Logistic. Currency translation effects totalled 0.8%.

Gross profit increased by 30.0% in Q1 2025, to DKK602.0 million, whereas the gross margin increased by 0.8 p.p. to 22.3% in the quarter. The improved gross margin was positively affected by the increased groupage exposure from the German acquisitions.

Adjusted EBIT increased by 6.1% to DKK121.0 million in Q,1 2025, compared to DKK114.0 million in Q1, 2024. The operating margin was 4.5% for Q1, 2025, compared to 5.3% in the same period last year. The lower margin was primarily driven by weak performance from the German entities due to a challenging market. Adjusted EBIT in the Road & Logistics division decreased by 2.9% to DKK100.0 million in Q1, 2025 compared to Q1, 2024. The decline was mainly related to challenging market conditions in Poland, Sweden, and Germany. Adjusted EBIT in the Air & Ocean division increased 83.3% to DKK22.0 million in Q1, 2025 compared to Q1, 2024. The improvement is impacted by the successful turnaround in Germany, continued progress in the US start-up and by general enhanced performance across the division.

In light of the Q1, 2025 results and the integration of DTK, NTG updated its full-year outlook for 2025 on 07 May 2025. It expects to achieve: Adjusted EBIT of DKK 560–630.0 million (previously DKK 575-650.0 million). The updated full-year outlook assumes flat activity in the road market and a negative impact from increased US tariffs in the air and ocean markets. Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty remains elevated, and the assumptions underlying the outlook may change.

Rhenus Group has announced the acquisition of the remaining 20.0% of shares in Wijnands Bulk Care, completing its full acquisition of the Company. This move follows the initial acquisition of 80.0% of Wijnands shares in 2021.

The acquisition reflects Rhenus continued commitment to expanding its transport and logistics operations in the Benelux region, where Wijnands has long been an established player in the bulk and breakbulk logistics sector. As part of Rhenus Bulk Road, the acquisition enhances the Company’s ability to meet growing customer demands and strengthen its logistics footprint in this key region.

The smooth integration of Wijnands brings operational synergies, with Rhenus-branded trucks now part of the unified fleet. The merger focuses on optimising infrastructure, expanding services, and boosting efficiency. Rhenus is also increasing storage, introducing refrigerated tippers, and planning walking floor and silo truck operations. Ongoing investments reinforce Rhenus as a leading, agile provider of end-to-end transport solutions.

Rhenus is integrating Wijnands into its global network, expanding services and offering greater flexibility across the supply chain. This move combines Wijnands' local expertise with Rhenus’ global reach to deliver more seamless, reliable logistics solutions worldwide.

By fully integrating Wijnands into Rhenus Bulk Road, Rhenus is not only strengthening its transport capabilities but also enhancing the service portfolio for customers. This move allows it to leverage Wijnands’ deep expertise in bulk logistics while reinforcing a commitment to providing flexible, reliable, and innovative transport solutions across the region.

Hapag-Lloyd has concluded the first quarter of 2025 with a Group EBITDA of US$1.1 billion (€1.0 billion). In the same period, the Group EBIT increased to US$487.0 million (€463.0 million) and the Group profit increased by 45.0%, to US$469.0 million (€446.0 million).

In the Liner Shipping segment, revenues increased to US$5.2 billion (€5.0 billion). The main drivers of this were a transport volume of 3.3 million TEU and an average freight rate of 1,480 US$/TEU, both of which were 9.0% higher than in the same quarter of 2024 due to strong demand. Compared to Q1, 2024, the EBITDA rose by 18.0%, to US$1.1 billion (€1.0 billion) and the EBIT rose by 25.0%, to US$472.0 million (€448.0 million).

In the Terminal & Infrastructure segment, an EBITDA of US$36.0 million (€34.0 million) and an EBIT of US$15.0 million (€14.0 million) were achieved in Q1, 2025. In addition, the acquisition of a majority stake in the CNMP LH Terminal in Le Havre secured strategically important access to the French market.

In Gemini Cooperation, the Company has achieved the targeted high schedule reliability, with which it has been able to clearly set itself apart from competitors. It has made good progress with Hanseatic Global Terminals and strengthened its position in France. The Company warned, however, that the situation in the Red Sea and the impact of global tariffs and trade policies continue to be causes for concern for the entire logistics industry and bring with them considerable uncertainty.

Looking ahead, the Company will continue to implement its Strategy 2030, vigorously focus on costs and target additional savings of more than US$1.0 billion within the next 18 months.

For the 2025 financial year, the Executive Board continues to expect the Group EBITDA to be in the range of US$2.5 to 4.0 billion (€2.4 to 3.9 billion) and the Group EBIT to be in the range of US$0.0 to 1.5 billion (€0.0 to 1.5 billion). In light of major geopolitical challenges and volatile freight rates, the Company suggested that the outlook is subject to a very high degree of uncertainty.

Evri, one of the UK's largest dedicated parcel delivery companies, and DHL eCommerce, the eCommerce logistics specialist of DHL Group, have announced a strategic transaction that will see the merger of DHL eCommerce UK with Evri. The merged Evri business will deliver over 1.0 billion parcels and a further 1.0 billion business letters annually and is poised to bring significant benefits to consumers and businesses by offering greater choice and cost competitive solutions. As part of the transaction, DHL Group will acquire a significant minority stake in Evri.

Evri's cost-effective and flexible courier offer will be complemented with the addition of DHL eCommerce's premium van delivery network. Rebranded Evri Premium - a network of DHL eCommerce, this will remain a dedicated and secure, separate network that will offer fast, time-sensitive deliveries with enhanced shipping security protection for high-value and large items for B2B and B2C parcel services.

The new Group will include an expanded international capability for inbound and outbound parcels, complementing Evri's own international network by making use of DHL eCommerce's extensive expertise in cross-border parcel shipping and out-of-home network of nearly 150,000 global access points. This includes faster transit times across the world with access to DHL's own eCommerce network in Europe, the US and selected Asian markets such as India.

Notably, Evri is entering the UK business letter market for the first time, with DHL's UK Mail retained in the new combined Group and offering a best-in-class mail service. This will also offer eCommerce businesses more options for sending lighter-weight items. In addition, customers will benefit from the Group's new combined out-of-home shop and locker network parcel delivery and collection which will be the UK's largest.

Over the last decade Evri has grown ten-fold in size and this transaction will further expand access into the European and global eCommerce markets. Since Apollo-managed funds came on board as owners, they have backed the intent to drive forward and grow to become the UK's premier parcel delivery business.

The compelling service portfolio of the newly formed Group will include:

> Cost-effective and flexible courier network for next-day and standard deliveries for small and large items for retailers, businesses and consumers.
> A separate, dedicated and secure premium network for high-value and larger parcels for B2B and B2C deliveries.
> A leading SME one stop shop solution which offers everything from mail, lightweight, larger, secure, B2B, international and fulfilment services.
> The UK's largest out-of-home network of 15,000 access points.
> Extensive international capability to complement Evri's own international network by making use of DHL eCommerce's expertise in cross-border parcel shipping and global out-of-home network of nearly 150,000 access points.
> The operation of a best-in-class mail service on behalf of businesses in the UK.

On completion, the combined Group, will bring together a team of over 30,000 couriers and van drivers, 12,000 colleagues, with a fleet of 8,000 vehicles to deliver over 1.0 billion parcels and 1.0 billion letters annually.

Following completion, Martijn de Lange will lead the combined business in the UK, with Stu Hill, currently CEO of DHL eCommerce UK, becoming MD of Evri's Premium DHL network business. The DHL eCommerce UK executive team will also join the new group.

Evri will continue to be majority owned by Apollo-managed funds. Completion of the transaction and the outlined partnership are contingent upon closing conditions, including customary regulatory approvals. The businesses of DHL Express, DHL Supply Chain and DHL Global Forwarding in the UK are unaffected by this transaction and will continue to operate as they do at present.

Eimskip has reported its first quarter 2025 results. Seasonal fluctuations in the Company's operations characterise the performance of the first quarter, which nevertheless improved year-on-year.

Solid volume in the sailing system during the quarter, grew by 6.6%, while average freight rates remained unchanged from the previous year despite higher rates in Trans-Atlantic. International freight forwarding performed well during the quarter, despite a decrease in volume, which was based on a favourable mix of projects. In other logistics services, activity decreased year-on-year, mainly due to lower utilisation in the Company's cold store facilities, lower quotas, and lower customer’s inventory levels.

Revenue amounted to €200.3 million, an increase of €6.5 million or 3.4% when compared with Q1, 2024. Expenses amounted to €185.0 million, increasing by €5.4 million or 3.0% from the previous year. Wage costs increased by €3.2 million year-on-year, equivalent to an 8.6% increase, mainly due to collective wage increases. The number of employees remained unchanged year-on-year.

EBITDA for the quarter amounted to €15.3 million compared to €14.2 million in the same period in 2024, an increase of 7.7%. The EBITDA margin was 7.7% compared to 7.3% in the same quarter last year. Net earnings were negative, €0.8 million for the quarter compared to positive earnings of €0.5 million in the same period last year, mainly due to increases in depreciation and lower share of profit from affiliates.

Cash flow from operations during the quarter was strong, amounting to €16.0 million, compared to €2.7 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Historically, the first quarter has the lowest activity in the Company's operations, and this year, costly disruptions in operations due to unusually bad weather in the North Atlantic were added. However, there was a 6.6% increase in volume in the sailing system. The recent US tariff policy has generated significant controversy and raised concerns about its impact on companies and the global economy. Nevertheless, the impact on Eimskip has remained minimal thus far.

The improved performance of the sailing system can be mainly attributed to increased volume and better utilisation, along with a slight decrease in cost per transported unit. However, the changed cargo mix affected the average freight rate, which remained unchanged between years, despite higher average rates in Trans-Atlantic. Changes made to the sailing system in Q1, 2024 have resulted in fewer sailed miles and reduced oil consumption, offsetting general cost increases and inflationary pressures.

The performance of international freight forwarding was satisfactory, with EBITDA increasing to €2.5 million from €2.0 million last year, despite a 12.0% decrease in volume. The decrease in volume was mainly due to the turmoil in international markets due to impending tariffs to and from the US. Additionally, there has been a shortage of containers in Asia among some of the major international shipping companies and congestion in some of their port operations worldwide, which affects the services provided.

The Company saw quite good activity in trucking and terminal operations while utilisation in warehousing decreased in the quarter due to customers’ lower inventory levels of seafood products which impacted results.

As other companies in international operations, Eimskip has faced challenges associated with regulatory requirements and increasing uncertainty in international trade. It is concerning that, following an extended period of high interest rates and inflation in Iceland, there are now discussions about imposing additional tax burdens on both businesses and individuals.

Overall, Eimskip remains relatively optimistic about the months ahead, as it anticipates the usual seasonal fluctuations in operations, with the second and third quarters typically with the highest activity level. Eimskip’s unique position in the North Atlantic provides a degree of resilience to economic fluctuations, as its home markets are heavily reliant on imports and exports primarily transported by sea. Additionally, its international freight forwarding efforts are centred on serving customers in transporting fresh and frozen food products.

Business units include JD Retail, JD Health and JD Logistics. JD Logistics (JDL) continued to expand its global footprint in Q1, 2025. In January, JDL officially launched an international air cargo route between Shenzhen, China, and Bangkok, Thailand, enabling more efficient cross-border flow of goods. In March, JDL’s second warehouse in Warsaw, Poland commenced operations, offering integrated supply chain and logistics services to support both Chinese enterprises and local European businesses with streamlined and efficient logistics solutions. In March, JDL launched its operations centre in Hong Kong, marking a significant step-up in expanding the coverage of its express delivery network and boosting service efficiency in the region. Since upgrading its services in Hong Kong in October 2023, JDL has been persistently deepening its footprint in the market. It has been providing premium express delivery services to consumers, and at the same time, cultivating a mutually beneficial ecosystem in collaboration with local businesses.

Net revenues at JDL were RMB47.0 billion in Q1, 2025, up 11.5%. Income from operations decreased 35.3% to RMB145.0 million. The operating margin dropped from 0.5% to 0.3%.

CJ Logistics has announced that technology driven new orders flow positively affected Q1, 2025 revenue, being offset by sluggish retail sales. Profit declined due to the implementation of growth initiatives and initial cost increase regarding large scale new orders.

CJ Logistics has reported a decrease in Q1, 2025 net income of 26.1% attributable to lower demand amid the economic slowdown. Net profit fell to 41 billion won down from 55 billion won in the same period last year. Falling consumer sentiment and high initial costs related to the launch of its new Everyday O-NE delivery service this year impacted profits. Operating profit dropped 21.9% to 85.4 billion won, as revenues climbed 2.4% to 2.99 trillion won.

> Growth in the US, India, and CBE continued despite weak sentiment in forwarding, with profitability yet to materialise. The Company has established strategic hubs in response to global logistics diversification, particularly in the US and Asia/ME.

> O-NE saw low volumes due to the market slowdown, as profit declined due to an increase in costs following the launch of Maeil (every O-NE). The unit saw strong demand for premium delivery services from loyal customers.

> eCommerce saw solid demand from vertical commerce with resilient spending despite the macroeconomic slowdown.

> W&D reported an increase in orders driven by technological advantage and consulting capability (YoY +20.0%)

> P&D achieved growth in revenue enabled by expansion in transportation services despite a decline in port cargo volume

DFDS has report performance measures for April. April 2025 volume numbers are compared to 2024 impacted by the Easter holiday period falling in April this year compared to March in 2024. In general, this decreases freight volumes and increases passenger volumes compared to April 2024.

Nippon Express, in collaboration with fellow group company cargo-partner, has launched a "Vienna Consolidation" service for exports from Japan to Central and Eastern Europe. With recent years seeing a rise in the demand for export cargo to Central and Eastern Europe, the limited consolidation service options for shipments originating in Japan have become an issue. To address this growing demand, Nippon Express worked with cargo-partner, whose network spans Central and Eastern Europe, to develop a cross-dock consolidation service to Central and Eastern Europe based out of its Vienna CFS.

This service covers transport from major ports in Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Hakata, Moji) to a total of 26 destinations in Central and Eastern Europe (Vienna, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Zagreb, Prague, Budapest, etc.).

Nippon Express uses FP1, which sails non-stop from Japan to Northern Europe, for containerised transport of cargo to the Vienna CFS, where the containers are offloaded and the cargo devanned and transported to its respective destinations. The NX Group handles the cargo from origin to destination, ensuring high-quality, safe, and reliable service.

Features of the service:

> A wide variety of destinations
Service to the entire Central and Eastern European region is available from the Vienna CFS. Nippon Express provides extensive first-rate services using the trunk-line transport offered by cargo-partner's numerous business locations throughout the region

> High transport quality
Containerised cargo is shipped directly from Japan to Northern Europe and then transported to the Vienna CFS. NX Group business locations perform all CFS tasks at both origin and destination to maintain high transport quality

> Attractive pricing
Customers can save an average of 20-30.0% compared to traditional service pricing.

The NX Group remains committed to making full use of all forms of transport to support its customers' business expansion on a global scale.

This year over half a million Amazon packages will travel between Lyon and Paris by high-speed trains. The journey takes just two hours and 18 minutes to cover 470 km, making deliveries faster and more efficient and reducing carbon emissions on a major logistics route.

Through a partnership with Rail Logistics Europe (RLE), SNCF's freight division, Amazon secured dedicated storage areas on these ultra-fast trains. After a successful pilot last year, these operations now take place six days a week. When packages reach Paris, the commitment to delivery with lower carbon emissions continues – up to two-thirds of last-mile deliveries are made using electric vehicles, cargo bikes, or on foot.

This initiative is crucial for Amazon’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, as rail freight generates lower emissions than traditional road transport.

This high-speed rail service is just one part of the Company’s evolving transportation strategy. Across Europe, it has been changing how it moves packages and inventory within its network. In just two years, it has doubled the use of rail and sea routes - now operating over 500 rail and sea lanes. In France, rail accounted for more than 25.0% of inventory movements in 2024.

Amazon is also getting smarter with equipment usage, utilising trailers which can switch seamlessly between ships, trains, and trucks. It has also placed its largest-ever order of 200 electric heavy-duty vehicles, demonstrating a commitment to lower carbon emission transportation modes.

CEVA Logistics continues to expand its portfolio of sustainable transport solutions with the launch of a low carbon ocean freight service between France and Ivory Coast.

This solution directly addresses a dual challenge faced by supply chains: securing reliable, regular transport departures from France, while reducing the carbon footprint of shipments to Africa.

Thanks to CEVA Logistics’ significant investment in marine biofuels, the new LCL service between France and Ivory Coast achieves an 84.0% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional ocean freight.

Designed with both performance and sustainability in mind, the decarbonised LCL service– available for all types of cargo– offers weekly departures and a 24-day transit time between Rouen, France and Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Leveraging the strategic location of Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport in China’s Yangtze River Delta, this new route enables efficient multimodal transportation across air, rail, road, and waterways, covering most of China’s core cities within 2-4 hours. The Wuhu to Hanoi route will primarily serve as a critical channel for exporting apparel, home appliances, furniture, and mechanical parts from eastern and central China to Vietnam, while facilitating the import of Vietnamese specialty goods into China. Operating 2–3 times per week, each flight can carry up to 20 tons of cargo.

The launch is part of JD Logistics’ broader strategy to build its “11668” global supply chain air network.

In recent years, JD Logistics has made significant progress in expanding its global end-to-end logistics capabilities. The Company now operates over 100 bonded, direct mail, and overseas warehouses worldwide, managing more than 1.0 million square meters. In Southeast Asia alone, JD Logistics runs seven overseas warehouses, supporting local businesses, Chinese brands expanding globally, and cross-border eCommerce sellers. In 2024, the Company’s Southeast Asia business has more than doubled in volume year-over-year, driven by deepening strategic partnerships across the region.

JD Logistics is also rapidly expanding its cross-border air freight capabilities across Southeast Asia, with air routes now serving Vietnam, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Malaysia.

Looking ahead, the Company will continue investing in its three strategic pillars, overseas warehouses, international air freight, and global express delivery, as it works to build a seamless and efficient global supply chain logistics network for businesses and consumers worldwide.

XPO Logistics has tripled its revenue in Morocco in the last six years and exceeded 30,000 shipments between Europe and North Africa by 2024. This milestone consolidates its position as a benchmark operator in cross-border transport and international logistics. Thus, the Company is responding to Morocco's growing industrial dynamism and consolidation as a key global hub.

To meet this demand, XPO Logistics has implemented new strategic routes connecting the Port of Tangier with Algeciras and Motril, facilitating more efficient and sustainable operations. It has also reinforced its capacity with a key investment in 60 new container trailers specially designed to facilitate the intermodal transport of 20, 40 and 50-foot units, and reduce environmental impact. The new fleet is equipped with GPS geolocation systems, ensuring real-time tracking of goods. These container trailers allow a 50.0% increase in transport capacity, with over 6,000 additional movements expected per year.

Since starting operations in Morocco in 2011, XPO Logistics has steadily strengthened its regional presence. The current investment strengthens its value proposition as a specialised service provider for key sectors such as automotive, industrial, construction and retail, among others. In addition, the Company already operates with duotrailers on the Strait of Gibraltar route, with a monthly volume of 400 crossings (200 in each direction).

XPO Logistics expects that between 35.0% and 40.0% of its crossings between Europe and Morocco will be made through the Port of Motril by 2025, consolidating this connection as a strategic pillar of its international operations. This new line also represents an estimated 10.0% reduction in CO2 emissions, reinforcing the Company's commitment to efficient and sustainable logistics.

The advanced infrastructure and innovative technology will also contribute to reduced logistics costs and a more sustainable supply chain.

Amazon and FedEx have agreed a contract for FedEx to provide last-mile residential delivery of select large packages for Amazon. The deal ‘re-launches’ similar operations that were halted six years ago. Commercial terms of the multi-year contract have not been disclosed.

FedEx will serve as one of several third-party partners such as UPS and the USPS, that work alongside Amazon’s own last mile delivery network to help balance capacity to best serve customers.

FedEx stated that the yield will be accretive to its system average in the domestic market. The business is predominantly large-package, so it is not the average weight that Amazon and UPS have. It will be part of the FedEx Ground portfolio and will increase the average weight per package, and it will push up yield.

UPS recently revealed its intention to reduce shipment volumes for Amazon by more than 50.0% by the second half of 2026. Amazon is UPS's largest customer, accounting for 12.0% of its revenue in 2024. Amazon stated, however, that the FedEx deal is not meant to replace UPS volumes

Coca-Cola HBC, the strategic bottling partner of the Coca-Cola company on the island of Ireland, has extended its long-term partnership with Wincanton. The contract extension until the end of 2026 builds on the two brands’ strong partnership which began in 2016 and marks a decade of collaboration.

As part of this collaboration, Wincanton will continue to provide warehouse operations management at Coca-Cola HBC’s dedicated facility in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, which handles over 52 million cases of popular brands such as Coca-Cola, Fanta and Monster per year.

Wincanton is also responsible for delivering operational efficiencies, incorporating volumes driven by the Deposit Return Scheme in the Republic of Ireland whilst also bringing logistics expertise to the facility to support the Company’s ongoing growth.

ARGAN is supporting the growth of its client-tenant GEODIS with the delivery of an extension of its Bruguières (31) fulfilment centre. On top of extending the total built area to 14,000 m2, these works were an opportunity to refurbish the existing building and to thus give an even longer-term perspective to the partnership with GEODIS through a new fixed-term lease of 12 years.

GEODIS started its operations in the fulfilment centre of Bruguières in 2003, in the “Haute-Garonne” French department. The logistics flows of this site are linked to the French-department level platforms of the South-West region. It is thus ideally located for the business of logistics platforms and fulfilment centres, a few kilometres at the North of Toulouse and along the A62 French highway.

With an increased business volume, GEODIS was looking for additional space. ARGAN and GEODIS worked together on an option for an extension of the existing site, leading to an added area of 2,900 m2 on the fulfilment centre for new spaces. The total surface of the building is now 14,000 m2. The shape of the land did not leave room for a traditional extension along the length of the building, this is why ARGAN and GEODIS teams thought of innovative extension plans along the width of the building. This also enabled ongoing full operations of the site during the phase of extension works.

Now that works have ended, 157 docks equip a large freight terminal hall whose area has been increased to 12,100 m2.

The extension of the building was an opportunity to enhance the existing part, including the office bloc of a size of 1,900 m2, the road infrastructure, as well as the equipment of the docks.

These works also helped strongly reduce the energy footprint of the site, in particular by installing a photovoltaic power station for GEODIS’ self-consumption and a Building Management System (BMS). Lastly, metal halide lamps were replaced by smart LED ones dedicated to presence sensing and light intensity monitoring.

The delivery of this extension marks the start of a fixed long-term lease of 12 years, thus underlying the strength of the partnership between GEODIS and ARGAN.

Moto-Profil, one of the largest and longest-operating distributors of automotive parts and accessories in Poland and Central Europe, has extended its contract with Prologis. Since 2010, the Company has been conducting its logistics operations at Prologis Park Chorzów, in a modern warehouse covering nearly 60,000 m2, serving business partners in 25 European countries.

The new lease agreement has been concluded under the Clear Lease model, which ensures full cost transparency and operational predictability. The lease extension process was supported by the advisory agency BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland.

The warehouse at Prologis Park Chorzów serves as the central distribution point for Moto-Profil, which cooperates with over 250 suppliers and supplies 3,500 business partners across 25 European countries. The modern, Class A warehouse space of nearly 60,000 m2 was designed by Prologis to meet Moto-Profil's demanding logistics processes and support efficient large-scale order distribution. Thanks to investments in the facility’s infrastructure, including the implementation of a modern LED lighting system, the warehouse ensures a high standard of working comfort and energy efficiency.

The new agreement between Moto-Profil and Prologis is based on the Clear Lease model, which guarantees full transparency of operating costs. Unlike traditional leases, where annual settlements may lead to unpredictable expenses, Clear Lease ensures fixed operating charges throughout the lease term. Public costs, such as property tax or utility fees, are settled separately based on actual consumption and applicable official rates. This solution eliminates cost uncertainty, enabling Prologis customers to precisely plan their budgets over the long term.

Prologis Park Chorzów is a modern distribution centre comprising five warehouse and office buildings with a total area of 251,000 m2. One of its greatest advantages is its strategic location—just 8 kilometres from the centre of Katowice, near major transport routes and close to the intersection of Poland’s two largest international transport corridors (A4 east-west and A1 north-south highways). The complex offers numerous parking spaces for cars and trucks, 24/7 security, and many other amenities that support warehousing and flexible distribution of goods. An additional benefit is the presence of public transport stops within the park.

The electricity produced will be used directly within the terminal to help reduce the facility’s environmental impact and contribute to a cleaner form of logistics.

A wholly owned Belgian subsidiary of NYK, ICO operates finished vehicle terminals at the ports of Zeebrugge and Antwerp. The Company also provides value-added services such as pre-delivery inspections and component/accessory installation.

Delhaize has opened a logistics centre on the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium, to support eCommerce operations. The facility will double its capacity to 50,000 online grocery orders per week and is strategically located to serve customers in the Brussels periphery, cutting delivery distances.

The Company’s online operations have seen double-digit annual growth since the start of the pandemic. A recent move to offer free in-store grocery collection has increased volumes by 20.0% in just one month.

Prior to the opening of the logistics centre, Delhaize had rejected online orders due to system overload. Whilst Delhaize dominates the home delivery market, the new facility will support the Company’s eCommerce infrastructure, alongside existing facilities in Puurs, Ghent and Liège.

The €53.0 million investment, made in partnership with Montea, will support Delhaize’s efforts to become the market leader in Belgium for in-store order collection. The current leader, in this regard, is Colruyt.

Panattoni is launching one of the largest investments in the market, a strategic project for its long-standing partner, Media Expert. A complex of two warehouses totalling over 207,000 m2 will be constructed in Łódź under a built-to-own (BTO) model. The distribution centre will employ approximately 300 people, and the total value of the investment amounts to PLN500.0 million.

Media Expert is Poland’s largest distributor of consumer electronics and home appliances, operating over 600 retail stores across approximately 470 cities. The Company also runs the MediaExpert.pl online store, constantly ranked among the country's top eCommerce platforms. The new project addresses the Company's ongoing growth and increasing logistical demands driven by e-commerce channels and retail operations.

The Łódź facility will support comprehensive distribution across retail, eCommerce, and omnichannel platforms. It will primarily focus on home appliances, consumer electronics, and bicycles, whilst also supporting diversification into segments such as gardening and fitness products.

Panattoni has already delivered over 300,000 m2 of industrial space for Media Expert in Central Poland. With this new project, the total area developed for the Company will exceed half a million square metres within the next two years.

Previous collaborations between Panattoni and Media Expert include several strategic projects, such as a complex of three warehouse facilities totalling over 270,000 m2 within the Central European Logistics Hub (CEL Hub) in Łódź. Media Expert established its central distribution centre there, serving its eCommerce operations and nationwide retail network. The new investment will be close to these facilities, enhancing operational synergy.

The proximity and excellent connectivity of Media Expert’s distribution centres in Łódź facilitate rapid and consolidated deliveries. It significantly reduces order processing time and enhances customer satisfaction.

The complex will be constructed on a plot of over 53 hectares near the Ryptułowice junction (road no. 14, Pabianice bypass), just 3 km from the S14 expressway, the western bypass of Łódź connecting the A2 motorway and the S8 expressway. The investment will comprise 203,904 m2 of warehouse and 3,656 m2 of office space. Construction is set to begin in the third quarter of this year.

The new warehouses for Media Expert will meet the latest sustainability standards and undergo the high-level BREEAM Excellent environmental certification. The buildings will incorporate a building management system (BMS) to monitor and optimise utility consumption. Additionally, a 700 kWp photovoltaic installation is planned. The site will also feature electric car charging stations and three bicycle shelters accommodating up to 80 bicycles.

Arvato has recently implemented a new rack-to-person system at its logistics centre in Poznań, Poland. This will once again significantly increase the efficiency of goods picking and warehouse processes for the online business.

With this innovative rack-to-person system, the Company has an automation solution in Poland that enables it to optimise logistics processes and improve competitiveness in the market.

The new system is based on advanced robot technology and supports order picking for employees. The autonomous robots transport the warehouse shelves with goods to the picking stations in the 48,000 m2 logistics centre in Poznań. The robots move around the warehouse using a camera system and navigation codes. The direct delivery of shelves to the work stations, where employees pick the goods according to the order, significantly streamlines and accelerates the picking process – not least due to the speed of the robots.

Once picking is complete, the robots automatically return the shelves to the correct storage location. They also use historical data and heat map analyses to determine the ideal warehouse and stock layout and the best storage location for each item.

The rack-to-person robots are also an example of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to the operations. AI helps them navigate, recognise their surroundings, and optimise routes, which allows them to perform tasks efficiently and precisely.

The robots are used in a closed storage zone, with sensor gates ensuring that employees do not accidentally enter the robots' working area. The solution also enables continuous operation, which significantly increases productivity and operational efficiency.

Geekplus has launched the world's first pallet-to-person system designed to automate warehouse operations across frozen and chilled zones, setting a new benchmark for temperature-controlled logistics.

Now live at a 2,700 m2 flagship facility operated by leading cold chain logistics provider JJCL (Jinjiang Cold Logistics), the system enables seamless pallet movement between environments ranging from -18C to +5C. This marks the first production-grade deployment of fully automated multi-temperature pallet handling in the industry.

While automation has transformed much of logistics, cold storage facilities have lagged behind due to extreme conditions and technical barriers. Geekplus' SkyCube system changes that with frost-resistant engineering and a coordinated fleet of high-density pallet storage robots operating at -18C, P800 robots in chilled zones (0–5C), high-speed lifts, and a unified software platform built for continuous operation in sub-zero environments.

JJCL, with seven subsidiary branches and 11 cold storage facilities totalling over 560,000 m3 (approximately 20 million cubic feet), partnered with Geekplus to modernise operations and meet growing demand. Since deployment, the system has increased storage capacity by 70.0%, improved picking efficiency by 90.0%, and achieved 99.99% accuracy. It has also enhanced safety by minimising human exposure to extreme sub-zero temperatures through full automation of cold zone handling.

CEVA Logistics in Chile has launched an innovative pilot project that transforms traditional inventory management through the integration of artificial intelligence and drone technology. This groundbreaking approach represents a significant advancement in warehouse efficiency and accuracy.

The initiative emerged from CEVA’s annual Contract Logistics Innovation Awards programme, which brings together thousands of employees globally to propose and vote on innovative operational solutions. Among this year’s winning projects was the AI-Driven Drone Inventory Management System, designed to address critical inventory challenges in warehouse operations.

Traditional inventory accounting methods require heavy machinery to lift employees to high-elevation racks or to lower pallets to the warehouse floor. These processes are labour-intensive, error-prone, disrupt daily operations, can pose safety risks, and more.

The pilot project operates through a streamlined process that dramatically improves efficiency. Leveraging AI and drones to capture images, log data, and find discrepancies, the project brings together traditional operations and technology.

> Drones capture high-resolution images of elevated storage racks without disrupting regular warehouse activities
> Advanced AI algorithms process the images, identifying racks, pallets and product labels
> The system automatically converts visual data into inventory counts and recognises individual pallet and carton codes
> Software compares the real-time data against theoretical inventory records to quickly identify discrepancies
> Targeted audits can then be conducted only where necessary, focusing human resources where they are most needed

Already, the results have been impressive, improving productivity by 10x compared to traditional methods. The improvements translate to significant cost reductions while increasing inventory accuracy and reducing operational disruptions. Beyond immediate benefits, the project demonstrates CEVA’s commitment to practical innovation that addresses real-world logistics challenges. By maintaining better control of inventory levels and ensuring accurate data, CEVA can provide enhanced services to customers.

DHL Group has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Boston Dynamics. Building on the proven success of Boston Dynamics' Stretch robot - designed for case handling and initially deployed by DHL to automate container unloading - the agreement paves the way for the global deployment of more than 1,000 additional units. Looking ahead, DHL plans to expand the range of applications for the robots, including additional use cases such as case picking.

This agreement marks a significant milestone in an already successful collaboration, which began in 2018 and has since delivered tangible improvements in logistics automation. DHL Supply Chain, the Group's contract logistics division, has led the way, introducing Stretch commercially in North America in 2023 and more recently expanding deployments to the UK and across Europe.

To date, the deployments of Stretch have achieved case unloading rates of up to 700 cases per hour and contributed to higher employee satisfaction by reducing the need for physically demanding work in hot or cold trailers. The partnership has also driven joint product development with end-to-end automation solutions integrating conveyors and palletisers, as demonstrated in the UK project. To further build on these successes, DHL Group is actively exploring how the technology can benefit other business units. A key priority is case picking - the most labour-intensive activity within DHL Supply Chain - which represents the next major development to maximise the impact of Stretch beyond container unloading.

Through this expanded partnership with Boston Dynamics, DHL will take a more active role in shaping and directing robotics development alongside key partners, focusing on building more resilient, responsive and smarter solutions.

As part of its commitment to cross-business innovation, DHL ensures that successful advancements developed within the Supply Chain division are evaluated and adapted for implementation across the wider Group, maximising impact at scale. Over the past three years DHL Group has invested over €1.0 billion in automation in its contract logistics division alone. Across its global network, the Group now uses more than 7,500 robots, over 200,000 smart handheld devices, and close to 800,000 IoT sensors to optimise operations, enhance working conditions for employees, and deliver measurable value for customers. Today, more than 90.0% of DHL warehouses worldwide are equipped with at least one automation or digitalisation solution.

DHL is bolstering its industry-leading automation strategy by placing greater emphasis on co-developing solutions with both new and established robotics partners, rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf technologies.

The DHL and Boston Dynamics partnership model achieves that. DHL Group offers real-world operational environments as a proving ground for advanced technologies, providing critical feedback and industry-specific insights. Moving beyond a traditional vendor relationship, the companies will jointly develop, test, and scale solutions in real-time operations. This allows DHL to focus on their core logistics strengths, while the world's leading robotics innovators create tailor-made technologies for the Company's and the logistics industry's needs. This open, operationally integrated approach also allows DHL and Boston Dynamics to jointly advance solutions like Stretch, while also exploring further synergies across divisions.

Royal Mail has unveiled its 7,000th electric vehicle, strengthening the Company’s position as having the largest electric delivery fleet in the UK. The 7,000th zero-emission version of Royal Mail’s famous red vans has been deployed at South Lambeth Delivery Office, adding to the 70 others already used for deliveries and collections there.

Royal Mail has celebrated this milestone by announcing that it will invest in 1,800 more electric vans and supporting charging infrastructure over the next year. Almost half of the new vans will be built in the UK at Stellantis’s Ellesmere Port plant.

Royal Mail purchased its first 100 electric vehicles in December 2017, deployed in delivery offices across the UK. Now, almost a quarter of Royal Mail’s delivery offices use electric vehicles for deliveries and collections. Nearly all of the Company’s electric vans are charged on-site across its property estate via a purchased 100.0% renewable electricity supply and all are zero-emissions at the tailpipe.

Royal Mail has also recently welcomed its first-ever electric trucks, in collaboration with Magtec. Supported by an £800,000 grant from Innovate UK, the trial will put the two new 19-tonne vehicles through their paces in real-world conditions.

Royal Mail’s ‘Steps to Zero’ environment strategy set a goal of achieving Net-Zero by 2040. The Company has already reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 18.0% in four years, with a target to achieve a 50.0% reduction by 2030.

To lead the way to a more sustainable future, Kuehne + Nagel has launched a carrier engagement sustainability programme. As part of the programme, Kuehne + Nagel has signed individual Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) agreements with fourteen global airline carriers to advance sustainability initiatives and innovations around the world. This first-of-its-kind collaboration in the air logistics industry aims to reduce the environmental impact of airfreight transportation for customers.

Kuehne + Nagel has signed individual MoUs with American Airlines, Air Canada, Air France Cargo and KLM Cargo, Atlas Air, Azul, Cargolux, Cathay Cargo, Delta Air Lines, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., Lufthansa Cargo, Swiss International Air Lines, Turkish Airlines, and United Airlines.

By signing individual MOUs with airlines on four continents, Kuehne + Nagel is expanding its geographical reach for sustainability collaboration. The collaboration will focus on several key areas to achieve its sustainability goals:

> Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) use and decarbonisation: Sourcing and promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) as well as other optimisation measures to reduce the carbon footprint. SAF, which is derived from renewable resources, can reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions by an average of 80.0% compared to conventional jet fuel.
> Transparency and impact tracking: Regular exchanges of data and information between Kuehne + Nagel and each airline to improve the understanding and quality of emissions, track the progress of reductions, and track the impact of the carrier engagement programme overall beyond carbon emissions.
> Holistic sustainability approach: Expanding efforts to address broader sustainability challenges.

As an asset-light company, it is crucial for Kuehne + Nagel to collaborate with carriers to reach its ambitious science-based targets while also sending a clear signal. The signing of these MoUs represents a milestone for the industry and marks a joint commitment to supporting a sustainable future. The Company is excited about the new initiatives that will emerge out of this, ultimately, benefiting its customers.

The current individually signed MoUs are with carriers that cover approximately 50.0% of Kuehne + Nagel’s emissions from air freight (based on emissions for full year 2024). The Company aims to continue expanding its carrier sustainability engagement with major carrier partners to increase the amount of emissions covered.

GEODIS, in collaboration with Prologis, has activated a 619-kilowatt (kWDC) rooftop solar installation at Prologis Park Grande, Building 3 in Tepotzotlán Estate of Mexico. The system is expected to generate approximately 892 megawatt-hours of low-carbon energy each year, a meaningful step in GEODIS' global effort to support more sustainable logistics.

Located in one of Mexico's most prominent industrial zones, the rooftop solar project is a strategic step toward reducing GEODIS' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increasing low-carbon energy and low-carbon energy use, and enhancing energy resilience at the site level.

This initiative supports GEODIS' ambitious climate goals, which were validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), that include a 42.0% reduction in GHG emissions from GEODIS' fleets and buildings (Scope 1+2) and 25.0% reduction in the carbon intensity of subcontracted transport regarding container shipping, road and rail operations (Scope 3) compared to 2022. A solar installation directly supports GEODIS' targets by reducing Scope 2 emissions (emissions from purchased electricity), assisting with sustainable building certifications and decreasing operational GHG emissions in a scalable way. The project also supports Prologis' goal to deploy 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar, supported by battery storage, across its global real estate portfolio by 2025.

This project is the latest example of GEODIS and Prologis' ongoing collaboration. The two companies have worked together on several sustainability initiatives in North America, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy integration and workforce development, to reinforce their commitments to environmental stewardship and community engagement. So far in 2025, GEODIS and Prologis have completed three warehouse solar installations, with five additional planned for the remainder of the year. GEODIS' work with Prologis supports its broader sustainability strategy, which includes transitioning to sustainably certified warehouses (e.g., BREEAM and LEED), upgrading energy efficiency across its network and delivering lower-carbon lanes for sustainability-focused customers.

In a market where electricity costs and reliability are concerns, the installation will help stabilise energy costs and mitigate exposure to utility rate hikes. The system is designed with future scalability in mind, offering potential for battery storage and microgrid integration.

VEV, the e-fleet solutions provider backed by Vitol, has partnered with Maritime Transport to install high-powered electric truck chargers at three Maritime sites in Wakefield, Doncaster, and Tilbury in the UK. The infrastructure will support the introduction of battery-electric HGVs into Maritime’s fleet later this year, and play a central role in the Company’s strategy to own and operate the cleanest, most sustainable full-load supply chain in the country.

Installations are now in advanced stages of build at Mill Lane in Wakefield and London Distribution Park in Tilbury, with works due to commence shortly at iPort in Doncaster. These are the first sites in Maritime’s network to be electrified for zero-emission HGV operations. A total of 17 chargers are being installed across the three locations, with commissioning set to conclude in May.

These installations form the initial phase of Maritime’s electrification journey, with additional charging infrastructure to be delivered through separate ZEHID projects at nine further port and rail-connected depots over the course of the year. Once fully operational, the network is expected to provide 16.5MW of installed power, enabling simultaneous charging for up to 98 battery-electric trucks, with unit capacity ranging from 100kW to 1MW.

As Maritime’s appointed electrification partner for this phase of the rollout, VEV is delivering end-to-end site design, infrastructure development, software integration, charger maintenance, and ongoing fleet analysis.

Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) are the backbone of the UK’s supply chain, but they also account for a significant 20.0% of domestic transport CO2 emissions. As the nation races toward its net zero emissions target by 2050, decarbonising HGVs presents one of the toughest – yet most critical – challenges. The Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme, backed by circa £200.0 million in funding from the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK, is rising to meet this challenge. With a bold vision to deploy around 350 of the heaviest battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on UK roads, the programme will also fund and support over 70 public and depot-based infrastructure installations by 2030. This pioneering effort will not only accelerate the transition to zero-emission logistics but will also deliver transformative environmental and economic benefits.

The ZEHID programme unfolds in two key phases:

1. Procurement and Infrastructure Development (2024–2026): Building the foundation with critical charging and refuelling infrastructure.

2. On-Road Demonstration (2026–2031): Real-world trials of zero-emission HGVs, testing their capabilities in various duty cycles and operational scenarios.

Maritime is playing a leading role in ZEHID, taking part in three of the programme’s four pioneering projects: Electric Freightway, eFREIGHT 2030, and ZENFreight. Through these projects, the Company will integrate over 50 battery-electric trucks into its fleet.

Volta Commercial Vehicles Limited, the operating company of Volta Trucks, accomplished a great deal from a standing start in 2019, and especially during its reassembly in the last 18 months.

Volta created the world’s first purpose built 16-tonne all-electric truck, which would have contributed not only to decarbonising trucks / transportation, but also improve fleet productivity and reliability, as well as enhance health and safety for all participants in urban traffic.

In the last 12 months, Volta was rebuilt by a small, yet determined and passionate team and can be proud of many achievements in light of tremendous external challenges:

1. Commercial: Volta successfully confirmed initial orders from key customers while relaunching its trial programme in six countries with 20 trucks, receiving fantastic customer feedback from real-life fleet operations.

2. Product Maturity: Volta completed the switch to a Volta Zero chassis cab, preserving its outstanding value proposition around top of class efficiency, productivity, and reliability – a testament to the ground up design, technology and integration.

3. Supply chain: Suppliers and manufacturing partners worked together with Volta to continue at a base level of production and prepare for scale.

4. Service network: Service partners from all countries of operations restarted and supported vehicle operations.

5. People: Passionate and resilient team at Volta, humble but truly focused and determined on the mission despite uncertainties.

However, the environment remains particularly challenging for most companies in the BEV and electric industry. The industry is faced with a decline in government support and subsidisation throughout Europe, as well as a trend towards less capital investments from the private sector. In addition, concerns surrounding the pre-revenue stage and capex needs of Volta made further capital injection difficult – despite Volta being on the verge of revenue from first customer deliveries.

With deep and sincere regret, the Board has therefore taken the difficult decision to put the business into administration. The Board has not taken this course easily or lightly and is fully aware of the significant impact this will have on the team, suppliers, customers, and partners.

The Board is working with RSM UK Restructuring as the appointed administrators in the UK to manage the upcoming process.
