Hamburg-based logistics giant HHLA published its preliminary report for 2025. Despite a drop in net profit, the company’s operational performance was positive, with a 10.9% increase in intermodal transport.
TEUs moved via intermodal services went from 1,787 million units in 2024 to 1,982 million in 2025. Moreover, there was a general increase in container throughput at seaports for HHLA, from 5,97 million to 6,295 million TEUs, a 5.4% growth. The full report with more detailed information will be published at the end of March.
Revenue and EBIT go up, profit go down
On the financial side, revenue and EBIT went up quite significantly, reaching 1,756 billion euros (+9.9%) and 161 million euros (19.5%). Group profit after tax, however, dropped by almost 70%, from 33 to 10 million euros. The drop in profit is not necessarily bad news, unless you are a shareholder of HHLA. In that case, no dividend will be paid out this year.
