Management comments:

As expected, B2C peak season was less pronounced vs. previous year. However, compared to Q4 2019, B2C volumes in DHL Express, DHL eCommerce Solutions and Parcel Germany are still significantly up, confirming our view that the structural trend towards a higher e-commerce share of retail sales is intact.

While we closely monitor risks to e-commerce volumes in relation to the current macroeconomic situation, we expect B2C volumes to return over time to mid- to high- single digit growth in-line with a recovery in consumer spending.

B2B: Pronounced decline driven by inventory cycle and macro situation

Management comments:

B2B volumes have continued to soften in Q4, with Air and Ocean freight sequentially declining over the course of the year; this was further amplified by customer inventory management.

TDI B2B volumes declined less at -4% yoy. The cyclical slowdown is in B2B indeed as expected rather visible in terms of weight: B2B weight per day in DHL Express TDI was down -9% yoy in Q4, significantly less than Air freight tonnage. This shows that weight per shipment is holding up well despite weaking B2B demand with WpD still up +15% vs Q4 2019.

vs. Q4 2019

DHL Supply Chain showcases the resilience of its business model with double-digit topline growth yoy, driven by record new business signings as customers strive for resilient, digitalized and e-commerce capable supply chain solutions. Note that reported revenue growth over the period also includes pass-on of cost inflation as well as FX effects.

CURRENT TRADING & OUTLOOK

  • Global trade volumes remain in decline YTD 2023; DHL Supply Chain most resilient DHL division in regard to trade flow cycles
  • Expect B2B volumes to recover as trade flows re-align with GDP development once inventories need replenishment
