Outlook 2025

The 2025 EBIT outlook is lowered to DKK 600-750m from previously DKK 800-1,000m driven mainly by uncertainties regarding the development in Q4 2025 for the Mediterranean ferry and logistics activities. In addition, the above outlook range will be reduced by the one-off programme cost of around DKK 100m.

Quote from our CEO

“We are initiating a cost reduction programme to accelerate our transition to a higher level of financial performance and to stay competitive in a changing market environment. Sadly, this means we have to reduce our workforce and part ways with valued and skilled colleagues,” says Torben Carlsen, CEO.
