On 7 May 2025, the acquisition of DTK was completed.
As of 1 June 2025, the general cargo business is fully
integrated and planned cost synergies have been
executed.
percentage points to 23.1%. The improved gross margin
was positively affected by lower average ocean freight
rates and the increased groupage exposure following
the acquisitions in Germany.
Special items expenses totalled DKK 10 million in Q2
2025, compared to DKK 1 million in Q2 2024.
Minorities’ share of adjusted EBIT was 10.4% in Q2
2025, compared to 8.3% Q2 2024.
The Road & Logistics division delivered revenue growth
compared to Q2 2024, driven by the addition of DTK,
Schmalz+Schön, and ITC Logistic, as well as slightly
higher freight rates. Despite this, the European road
market remains subdued, particularly due to weak
demand on the Continent. High uncertainty
characterises the macroeconomic situation, with
fluctuating consumer spending, and varying
government policies impacting our industry. Q2 2025
was again impacted by uncertainty from the US tariff
situation which affected activity in both divisions.
Adjusted EBIT decreased by 12.1% to DKK 145 million
in Q2 2025, compared to DKK 165 million in Q2 2024.
The decrease was primarily due to the DKK 35 million
provision release related to the AGL earn-out
settlement in Q2 last year. Excluding this one-off effect,
adjusted EBIT increased by 11.5%.
