Deutsche Post DHL Group has released its preliminary results for the second quarter of 2021, with preliminary operating profit (EBIT) improving to a record level of €2075 million.
The Group has raised its EBIT outlook for 2021 to more than €7 billion. The mid-term EBIT outlook for 2023 is now expected to be more than €7.4 billion.
Frank Appel, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL Group, said: “The second quarter proved once again that global trade volume continues to recover and the e-commerce boom is sustainable – and we benefit strongly from both.”
All divisions exceeded the previous year's results. Network capacity utilisation was constantly high in the second quarter 2021.
B2C shipment volumes remained ahead of last year in all networks, while the recovery in the B2B businesses continued to gain momentum.
At the same time the tight capacity situation both in Ocean and Air Freight markets remained unchanged.
