Switzerland-headquartered Kuehne+Nagel Group said on 24 July that it achieved solid operational performance in the first half of 2025, despite many external challenges.
Net turnover increased by 8% year-over-year to CHF 12.5 billion, or by 12% when adjusted for foreign exchange effects. EBIT totaled CHF 744 million, and earnings were CHF 555 million. Volumes increased significantly, particularly in Air Logistics.
Underlying earnings assessments and expectations for 2025 are unchanged and the forwarder now expects a recurring EBIT between CHF 1.45 billion and CHF 1.65 billion.
Chief executive Stefan Paul, said: “Our solid operational performance in the first half of 2025 once again demonstrated our resilience in a challenging market environment. The push of our strategic sales initiatives is proving to be highly effective. In Air Logistics, we increased volumes by 7% – that’s well above overall market growth.”
Kuehne+Nagel has meanwhile strengthened its collaboration with European aerospace firm Airbus in Spain, expanding its agreement to helicopter maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities.
The operations cover in-plant logistics, inter-site transport services, warehouse-to-line deliveries, supply fulfilment centre operations, and spare parts management. Over 900 employees of Kuehne+Nagel work at 16 sites in Albacete, Cádiz, Madrid, Sevilla Toledo, and Zaragoza.
