Q3 2025 earnings summary23 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Net turnover for January–September 2025 increased 2.7% year-over-year to CHF 18.5 billion, but Q3 net turnover declined 6.8% compared to Q3 2024, and EBIT fell 13% year-over-year due to yield pressure in logistics segments.

  • Market share expanded in air logistics and SME segment in sea logistics, despite overall market softness.

  • A cost reduction program targeting at least CHF 200 million in annualized savings was launched to address challenging market conditions.

  • Partners Group exercised its option to sell its 24.9% stake in Apex, with completion in Q4 2025, increasing ownership to 100% and expected to be EPS accretive.

Financial highlights

  • Group EPS declined 18% year-over-year to CHF 6.11, and net earnings for the nine months were CHF 725 million, down from CHF 885 million year-over-year.

  • Free cash flow conversion reached 105% in Q3, the first time above 100% since Q3 2022; year-to-date conversion at 66% vs. 33% last year.

  • Gross profit for January–September rose 1.1% year-over-year to CHF 6,531 million, with a margin of 35.3%, slightly down from 35.8% last year.

  • Cash and cash equivalents at period end were CHF 603 million, down from CHF 926 million a year earlier.

Outlook and guidance

  • Recurring EBIT guidance for 2025 set at greater than CHF 1.3 billion, reduced from the previous range of CHF 1.45–1.65 billion, reflecting adverse market conditions and a 5% currency headwind.

  • Q4 recurring result expected to be comparable to Q3; no peak season expected in air logistics for Q4, with stable yields anticipated.

  • Full run rate of cost savings expected by year-end 2026, fully reflected in Q1 2027.

  • Economic growth uncertainty and volatile trade/tariff policies are expected to persist.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
