Investor Presentation summary
23 Oct, 2025Q2 2025 financial highlights

Adjusted free cash flow was strong, supporting deleveraging, with a cash conversion of 143% in Q2 2025.
Diluted adjusted EPS at DKK 51.5, with a 2.3% decline due to share increase from Schenker financing.

Schenker integration and strategic developments
Integration of Schenker is off to a strong start, with global leadership appointed and first countries beginning integration in Q3 2025.
Annual synergies from Schenker expected to reach DKK 9.0 billion by end of 2028; DKK 500–600 million to impact 2025 P&L.
Total transaction and integration costs estimated at DKK 11.0 billion, with DKK 2.0–2.5 billion expected in 2025.
Schenker strengthens global network, especially in Air & Sea, Road, and Contract Logistics, and enhances scale in EMEA, APAC, and Americas.
The combined group is positioned as a world-leading logistics provider, with an estimated 6–7% global market share.
Divisional performance and business segments
Air & Sea saw strong organic growth in gross profit and EBIT, up over 9% year-over-year, with improved profitability and higher yields.
Road division experienced declines in organic gross profit and EBIT due to low activity, especially in groupage and the automotive sector.
Contract Logistics faced negative organic growth due to low capacity utilisation and higher costs, but Schenker contributed solid performance.
Focus remains on productivity improvements, network optimisation, and digitalisation across divisions.
