During the first quarter of 2013, Deutsche Post DHL built on its successful performance of last year. In a business environment characterized by persistent economic challenges, the world’s leading postal and logistics group increased revenues by 0.6 percent to EUR 13.4 billion in the first three months of the year compared with the same period last year. Adjusted for exchange-rate effects and inorganic factors, revenues climbed by 1.5 percent. The driving forces of this growth were primarily volume and revenue gains generated by the international express business as well as the parcel segment in Germany. This growth reflects the company’s exceptional market position in the world’s highly dynamic markets. The Group improved its operating earnings once again: At EUR 711 million, EBIT produced during the first quarter rose EUR 20 million above the level generated in the same period last year. The development of the consolidated net profit was even more pronounced: Net income adjusted for last year’s one-time effects related to the final Postbank transaction jumped by 45 percent to nearly EUR 500 million.“Even though we have yet to feel any sort of economic tailwind, we were able to get off to a solid start in the new year. In doing so, we demonstrated once again just how robust our business model is and lived up to our position as market leader,” said Frank Appel, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL. “Thanks to our commitment to customers, the gains in efficiency we have made in recent years and our determination to continuously simplify processes, we can reliably deliver profitable growth.”
