Editorial key takes Judgements distilled from the profile

Express is the profit engine: division EBIT of €3,084m at a 12.3% margin is the largest profit source among the five divisions.
Evidence: 2024 Annual Report · Express division
Freight-rate normalisation reshaped the top line: revenue fell from the 2022 peak of €94,436m to €81,758m in 2023 before returning to growth — forwarding was the swing factor.
Evidence: 2022/2024 Annual Reports
Growth engines are rotating: Supply Chain EBIT +11.1% and eCommerce revenue +10.2% — contract logistics and cross-border e-commerce take the baton in the post-rate cycle.
Evidence: 2024 Annual Report
The China story is underappreciated: a 40-year Sinotrans JV and the Shenzhen superport give DHL the deepest China stack among foreign groups (see the Sinotrans profile).
