Management comments:
General market circumstances developed in line with expectations in H1 2023. As macro signals stay inconsistent, we reiterate our 3 potential macro scenarios for H2.
Against this background, our measures proved effective to deliver a resilient H1 2023 Group EBIT of €3.3bn. On that basis, we have increased our 2023 Group EBIT guidance from €6.0-7.0bn to €6.2-7.0bn.
Looking beyond current macro circumstances, DHL Group is strongly positioned to drive GDP+ top- and bottom-line growth.

Management comments:
Looking beyond the shorter-term macro discussions, DHL Group portfolio is geared for structural GDP+ growth, supported by the four megatrends targeted in Strategy 2025.
Sustainability and digitalization see clear accelerating momentum across many aspects of life. We also expect further attractive e- commerce growth as online consumption keeps gaining share of retail spending.
Globalization is taking new shapes in the aftermath of the pandemic, with global supply chains expected to see gradual changes towards a still international but more diversified set-up.

Management comments:
Tech-driven automation is essential along the entire supply chain from warehouse robotics to IoT-enabled asset tracking and route optimization. We leverage data analytics and machine learning at scale to boost efficiency across all areas of our organization.
Our vast experience has provided us with a solid foundation for exploring and implementing generative AI solutions. Therefore, we have launched a Group-widecross-divisional GenAI initiative called GAIA, which aims at maximizing the value of generative AI within DHL while ensuring secure and compliant usage.
We are currently exploring various use case areas for generative AI, including document and knowledge management, as well as advanced customer chatbots.

E-COMMERCE
Permanent step-up in e-commerce penetration
B2C post-pandemic normalization done; resilient in current macro environment
Management comments:
B2C volume development shows the resilience of the underlying e-commerce growth trend, again the first-ever wider economic downturn since start of the e-commerce boom.
While Q2 2023 growth rates are below historic run rates, the improving growth pattern in most markets in Q2 underpins the structural shift towards online consumption.
