Despite ongoing global trade tensions, DHL Group exceeded its own financial year 2025 forecast. Revenue declined by 1.6% to €82.9 billion, partly due to currency fluctuations and lower freight volumes on US routes.

Profitability also improved: the EBIT margin increased to 7.4%, 0.4 percentage points higher than the previous year.
