Increasing freight earnings
Our freight network is as expected proving to be very resilient. We continue to adapt operations to market changes and Brexit.
Revenue down 20% to DKK 3.6bn
EBITDA down 29% to DKK 846m
Freight result well above 2019
Passenger result significantly below 2019
Outlook 2020
On 23 October 2020, the outlook for 2020 was raised as freight volumes have developed more positively than expected during and after Q3.
EBITDA before special items is expected to be DKK 2.5-2.7bn in 2020 up from the previous outlook of DKK 2.2-2.5bn included in the Q2 2020 report.
Uncertainty remains elevated and the outlook and its assumptions can still change significantly in the rest of the year.
