DFDS reported a 3% increase in revenue to DKK 7.8bn in Q2 2025. EBIT decreased by 69% to DKK 163m, while adjusted free cash flow reached DKK 538m. CO2 ferry emission intensity from own fleet dropped 4.1%. CEO Torben Carlsen highlighted the Mediterranean activities as a key earnings challenge.
2025 outlook includes an EBIT range of DKK 0.8-1.0bn, revenue growth of around 5%, and adjusted free cash flow of DKK 1.0bn. The company is focusing on adapting Mediterranean ferry operations, turning around Logistics Türkiye & Europe South, and completing Logistics Boost projects initiated in 2024.
Q2 performance was in line with expectations, with progress made in the Logistics Boost projects. However, challenges remain in the Mediterranean and Türkiye & Europe South operations. Due to these challenges, the EBIT outlook for 2025 has been adjusted to DKK 0.8-1.0bn from around DKK 1.0bn.
Geopolitical developments, such as a trade agreement between the EU and USA, may impact Europe’s economic growth prospects. The agreement could drive nearshoring and boost trading with manufacturing hubs like Türkiye and Morocco, benefiting DFDS’ network. For more detailed information, read the Q2 2025 interim report.
