Hapag-Lloyd raises its earnings outlook for the current financial year

On the back of recently strong market demand and the positive development in spot freight rates, the Executive Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG is raising its earnings outlook for the financial year 2026. Group EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of USD 2.7 to 3.7 billion (previously: USD 1.1 to 3.1 billion) and Group EBIT in the range of USD 0.1 to 1.1 billion (previously: USD -1.5 to 0.5 billion). In Euro, this corresponds to an expected Group EBITDA of EUR 2.3 to 3.2 billion (previously: EUR 0.9 to 2.6 billion) and Group EBIT of EUR 0.1 to 1.0 billion (previously: EUR -1.3 to 0.4 billion).

Against the backdrop of volatile freight rates and major geopolitical challenges, the forecast is subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
