Management Review
A.P. Moller - Maersk saw solid performance in the second quarter and delivered EBITDA and EBIT
of USD 2.3bn and USD 845m, respectively. The results came on the back of continued focus on
execution and operational improvements, despite the unprecedented geopolitical volatility and
low visibility into macroeconomic developments.
Ocean demonstrated good profitability, driven by the volume growth notwithstanding significant volatility
in the quarter and adverse sequential rate developments. Logistics & Services showed continued progress
with an EBIT margin improvement to 4.8%, driven by growth in key products, cost control and operational
improvements. Terminals showed strong results from record-high volume, higher revenue per move
supported by storage income, and cost per move mitigated through high utilisation as well as a higher share
of profits from joint ventures and associates.
June 2025 marked the first month of the Gemini cooperation being successfully phased in and it is on
track to deliver the reliability and cost-saving ambitions.
Outlook
Given the more resilient market demand outside of North America, A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) raises its
full-year 2025 financial guidance as per the table below. The expected global container market volume
growth has been revised to between 2% and 4% (previously between -1% and 4%). At this time, the disruption
in the Red Sea is still expected to last for the full year.

Highlights Q2 2025
Maersk’s results continued to improve year-on-year with consolidated revenue of USD 13.1bn (USD 12.8bn)
and EBITDA of USD 2.3bn (USD 2.1bn), while EBIT declined to USD 845m (USD 963m). The results were driven
by volume and other revenue growth in Ocean, margin improvements in Logistics & Services and significant
top line growth in Terminals, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 17.5% (16.8%) and an EBIT margin of 6.4% (7.5%).
The underlying EBIT margin increased by 0.3 percentage points to 6.2% (5.9%).
Ocean’s profitability is a result of solid volume growth of 4.2% and higher revenue from demurrage and
detention, reflected in the higher revenue year-on-year of USD 8.6bn (USD 8.4bn) and an increased EBITDA
by USD 36m or 2.6%. Performance was affected by the continued pressure on loaded freight rates, as
expected, and higher container handling costs as a result of higher volumes, resulting in an EBIT margin
of 2.7% (5.6%). Sequentially, EBIT decreased by USD 514m from USD 743m in Q1 2025, and the EBIT margin
decreased by 5.6 percentage points from 8.3% in Q1 2025.
Logistics & Services continued to progress in Q2 and reported revenue growth sequentially and year-on-year
of 5.2% and 1.0%, respectively. The EBIT margin improved by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year and reached
4.8% (3.5%), driven by operational improvements and the continuation of overall cost control. Sequentially,
EBIT increased by 23%, and the EBIT margin increased by 0.7 percentage points.
Terminals contributed with a high top line and EBITDA, with revenue increasing by 20% to USD 1.3bn (USD
1.1bn), with strong volume growth supported by the Gemini cooperation, improved tariffs and higher storage
revenue. As a result, the EBIT margin improved by 2.9 percentage points to 35.3% (32.4%) and ROIC (LTM)
increased to 15.4% (12.2%). Sequentially, EBIT increased by 17% due to the higher revenue, and the EBIT
margin improved by 3.3 percentage points.
Free cash flow of negative USD 373m (positive USD 397m) decreased due to higher capital expenditures
and lease repayments during the quarter, partly offset by higher cash flow from operating activities.
Distribution of cash to shareholders during the quarter was USD 864m (USD 310m), of which USD 514m
(USD 0m) was from share buy-backs.

A.P. Moller - Maersk Interim Report Q2 | 7 August 2025
Amounts in USD million
Review Q2 2025
A.P. Moller - Maersk continued to deliver solid results in Q2, driven by sequential volume
increases, operational improvements and supported by continued cost control.
Revenue increased by 2.8% or USD 359m to USD 13.1bn (USD 12.8bn), stemming from growth in all segments.
Ocean revenue increased by 2.4%, mainly attributed to higher volumes and higher revenue from demurrage
and detention, despite a 9.6% year-on-year decline in loaded freight rates. Logistics & Services delivered
a 1.0% increase, driven by Managed by Maersk and Transported by Maersk. Terminals contributed with an
increase of 20% from higher volume, improved tariffs and higher storage revenue.

EBITDA increased to USD 2.3bn (USD 2.1bn), with the EBITDA margin improving to 17.5% (16.8%), driven
by higher revenue and cost management. Ocean’s EBITDA of USD 1.4bn (USD 1.4bn) slightly increased by
USD 36m, and the EBITDA margin remained stable at 16.8% (16.8%). Logistics & Services contributed
significantly with a USD 71m increase, largely due to operational improvements in Fulfilled by Maersk.
Terminals’ EBITDA increased by USD 50m, driven by higher revenue and improved utilisation.

EBIT decreased by USD 118m to USD 845m (USD 963m), with an EBIT margin of 6.4% (7.5%), mainly driven by
Ocean which experienced a decrease of USD 241m, mainly due to lower gains on sale of assets and higher
depreciation linked to capacity increases. Consequently, underlying EBIT increased by USD 62m and the
underlying EBIT margin was 6.2% (5.9%). The Ocean EBIT decline was partly offset by the Terminals EBIT
increase by USD 108m to USD 461m (USD 353m), supported by top line growth and strong results from
joint ventures and associated companies. Logistics & Services’ EBIT increased by USD 49m to USD 175m
(USD 126m), mainly driven by stronger profitability in Fulfilled by Maersk due to business refocusing
efforts, resulting in an EBIT margin of 4.8% (3.5%).

Financial items, net was an expense of USD 111m (income of USD 13m), primarily due to negative foreign
exchange rate effects on working capital, increased interest expenses on leases and lower interest income.
Tax decreased to USD 95m (USD 143m), primarily due to the decreased taxable income.
The underlying profit was USD 614m (USD 623m).
Cash flow from operating activities of USD 1.9bn (USD 1.6bn) was driven by the higher EBITDA, together with
a solid cash conversion of 81% (76%).
CAPEX of USD 1.3bn (USD 904m) was mainly driven by higher investments in Ocean.
Free cash flow of USD negative 373m (positive USD 397m) was primarily impacted by increased capital
expenditures and capitalised leases, as well as lower sale proceeds and dividends received, partly offset
by higher cash flow from operating activities.
Share buy-back
As announced in February 2025, A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) initiated a share buy-back programme of up to
around USD 2bn to be executed over a period of 12 months. Of the total planned share buy-back of around
USD 2bn, Maersk executed USD 857m of share buy-backs by 30 June 2025. For more details, see shareholder
information in Maersk’s Annual Report 2024. At 30 June 2025, Maersk owned a total of 73,906 A shares and
525,651 B shares as treasury shares, corresponding to 3.79% of the share capital.
ESG update
Following the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) milestone approval of the net-zero regulatory
frame work for global shipping in April 2025, which is subject to formal adoption in October, Maersk continues
to make progress on its climate transition plan to 2030 and the target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas
emissions by 2040.
In May 2025, the world’s first large-scale commercial e-methanol facility, the Kassø facility near Aabenraa,
Denmark, was inaugurated and started to supply e-methanol to Maersk. Maersk is using the fuel produced at
Kassø to operate Laura Mærsk, the world’s first container vessel operating on methanol.
In June 2025, Maersk took delivery of Berlin Mærsk, the first vessel in a series of 17,480 TEU vessels
equipped with dual-fuel methanol propulsion and the 14th dual-fuel newbuild in Maersk’s fleet. Berlin Mærsk
is the largest dual-fuel ship to date to join the Maersk fleet and will be followed by five additional vessels in
this new class of container ships with delivery in 2025.
For more details about Maersk’s climate transition plan towards 2030, see Maersk’s Annual Report 2024.

A.P. Moller - Maersk Interim Report Q2 | 7 August 2025
Review 6M 2025
A.P. Moller - Maersk delivered solid profitability in the first half of 2025 by focusing on execu-
tion and operational improvements amid an unprecedented volatile global trade environment.
Revenue increased by USD 1.3bn to USD 26.5bn (USD 25.1bn) in the first half of 2025, driven by all
segments, with an increase of USD 1.1bn in Ocean, USD 20m in Logistics & Services and USD 450m in
Terminals. Revenue in Ocean was positively impacted by higher loaded freight rates in Q4 2024 benefitting
2025 and a 2.2% increase in loaded volumes, although this was partly offset by a 3.9% decrease in loaded
freight rates. Revenue in Logistics & Services increased, driven by Managed by Maersk and Transported
by Maersk, partly offset by decreases in Last Mile and Middle Mile in Fulfilled by Maersk due to business
refocusing efforts in 2025. The increased revenue in Terminals was driven by higher volume, tariffs and
storage revenue.
EBITDA also rose by USD 1.3bn to USD 5.0bn (USD 3.7bn), driven by improvements across all segments.
Ocean’s EBITDA increased by USD 983m due to higher revenue, partly offset by higher network costs
excluding bunker and higher container handling costs. Logistics & Services’ EBITDA increased by USD 188m
with contributions from all service models and primarily from Fulfilled by Maersk. Terminals’ EBITDA
improved by USD 146m due to increased revenue, partly offset by higher variable costs.
EBIT increased by USD 958m to USD 2.1bn (USD 1.1bn), driven by the increased EBITDA partly offset by
higher depreciation. The EBIT margin increased to 7.9% (4.5%).
Financial items, net decreased to USD 66m (USD 164m), mainly due to higher interest expenses on leases.
Tax increased to USD 318m (USD 263m), primarily due to higher profit before tax.
The underlying profit of USD 1.8bn (USD 833m) was adjusted for net gains of USD 80m (USD 215m), mainly
driven by container sales in Ocean.
Cash flow from operating activities of USD 4.6bn (USD 2.7bn) was driven by the EBITDA of USD 5.0bn,
slightly offset by taxes paid of USD 337m and unfavourable movements in net working capital of USD 175m,
translating into a cash conversion of 92% (73%).
CAPEX was USD 2.7bn (USD 1.6bn), mainly driven by higher Ocean investments.
Free cash flow increased to USD 433m (USD 246m), driven by higher cash flow from operating activities
and partly offset by higher capital expenditures and lease payments.
Equity decreased to USD 57.1bn (USD 57.9bn on 31 December 2024) due to dividend payments and share
buy-backs, partly offset by the net profit, resulting in an equity ratio of 65.0% (66.1% at 31 December 2024).
Capital structure and credit rating
Net interest-bearing debt amounted to a net cash position of USD 2.5bn (a net cash position of USD 7.4bn
at 31 December 2024), positively impacted by free cash flow for the first six months of USD 433m and offset
by dividends distributed to shareholders and share buy-backs of USD 3.4bn, acquisitions, net of USD 684m
and net new lease liabilities of USD 1.3bn. Excluding lease liabilities, the Group had a net cash position of
USD 15.1bn (USD 18.8bn at 31 December 2024).
A.P. Moller - Maersk remains investment grade-rated and holds a Baa1 (stable) from Moody’s and a BBB+
(stable) rating from Standard & Poor’s.
The liquidity reserve decreased to USD 24.7bn (USD 29.0bn at 31 December 2024) and was composed of
cash and bank balances (excluding restricted cash), term deposits and securities of USD 18.6bn (USD 22.9bn
at 31 December 2024) and undrawn revolving credit facilities of USD 6.1bn (USD 6.1bn at 31 December 2024).
The dividend of DKK 1,120 per A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S share of nominally DKK 1,000, a total of USD 2.5bn
was declared at the Annual General Meeting on 18 March 2025, excluding treasury shares. Of this, USD 2.2bn
was paid on 21 March 2025, and the withholding tax of USD 350m was paid during Q2 2025.

Sensitivity guidance
Financial performance for Maersk for 2025 depends on several factors subject to uncertainties related to the given
uncertain macro economic conditions, bunker fuel prices and freight rates. All else being equal, the sensitivities for 2025
for four key assumptions are listed below:
Factors Change
Effect on EBIT
(Rest of 2025)
Container freight rate +/- 100 USD/FFE +/- USD 0.7bn
Container freight volume +/- 100,000 FFE +/- USD 0.01bn
Bunker price (net of expected BAF coverage) +/- 100 USD/tonne +/- USD 0.1bn
Foreign exchange rate (net of hedges) +/- 10% change in USD +/- USD 0.1bn
Roadmap towards 2025
The mid-term financial targets introduced at the Capital Markets Day in May 2021 relate to the trans formation
towards becoming the integrator of container logistics.
Consolidated
The return on invested capital (ROIC) (LTM) was 13.7%, above the yearly target of 7.5% under normalised
conditions. The strong result in the second half of 2024 supported by the continued solid profitability in the
first half of 2025 positively impacted ROIC for the last 12 months. The average return on invested capital
from the start of 2021 to Q2 2025 was 28.6%, well above the 12% target for the period 2021-2025.

A.P. Moller - Maersk Interim Report Q2 | 7 August 2025
Market environment
Macro environment
At the onset of Q2, the US Administration introduced new import tariffs. Since 2 April, tariffs have followed
a series of escalations and suspensions. The effective container- weighted import tariff on US imports is
estimated at 24% as per the Presidential Executive Order dated 31 July, up from 5% in 2024. The uncertainty
around US trade, and more broadly around its economic policy, has occupied the debate on the external
environment. Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East continue to run high, despite the de-escalation
between Israel/US and Iran, and a resolution to the war in Ukraine remains elusive. In the face of persistent
external volatility and prevailing negative sentiment, the global economy has shown resilience. The global
Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) remained in expansionary territory (above 50) throughout Q2. Risks to the
global outlook remain elevated. The consensus view is that economic growth will moderate in the second
half of the year as the drag from the US tariffs, heightened uncertainty and the shift in sentiment begin to
take hold. Global industry, which benefitted from the frontloading in the first half of the year, is expected to
bear the brunt of the coming downshift in global demand growth.
Driving the downshift in global activity is the US — where policy uncertainty made forecasters more
pessi mistic about the outlook in the second half of 2025. Goods consumption, up 3.5% year-on-year in Q2, is
expected to moderate, due to deteriorating consumer confidence, coupled with the risk of inflation edging
up as tariff-induced price adjustments kick in. Heightened uncertainty also disrupts investment plans. On the
other hand, the elevated fiscal deficit will prevent growth from slipping excessively. Growth in the Euro Area
is predicted to remain modest, owing to a downgraded outlook for domestic consumption, a weaker global
demand environment and the claw back from front-loaded exports in Q1. Easing inflation, at 2% in June,
combined with the lagged impact from previous European Central Bank monetary easing and the fiscal sup-
port in Germany will provide some offset. Euro Area retail sales (excluding food and fuel) remain challenged,
with a 0.1% increase in the first two months of Q2 compared to Q1. In China, robust industrial output stands
in contrast to the prolonged weakness in domestic demand. With support from 2024 fiscal stimulus fading,
China is expected to contribute to the moderation in global growth in the second half of the year.
Container trade environment
In Q2, global container demand is estimated to have increased between 3% and 5% year-on-year, challenging
the concerns of an immediate collapse in global trade after the US tariff announcements in April. The con-
traction in North American imports was more than offset by the strong import growth into Europe, Latin
America, West-Central Asia and Africa. On the supply side, growth remained elevated in Q2, driven by
significant deliveries. At the end of the quarter, the nominal fleet was 8.2% larger than at the same time
in 2024, demolition was close to non-existent, while inactive capacity remained subdued. Amid regional and
month-on-month volatility resulting from the fluctuating tariffs, spot rates, measured by the Shanghai
Containerized Freight Index (SCFI), declined in Q2 2025 compared to both Q1 2025 (-7%) and to Q2 2024
(-37%). The outlook for global container demand over the remainder of the year remains uncertain, shaped
by a rapidly evolving tariff landscape and high policy uncertainty in the US. Unless new major shocks occur,
global demand growth is expected to range between 2% and 4% for the full year.
Logistics environment
Supply chains showed a high degree of adaptability in Q2. In a highly politicised environment, and confronted
with major disruptions, goods continued to flow across and within countries. Similarly to container trade,
global air freight forwarding demand showed resilience in Q2, with an estimated year-on-year growth in the
range of 3% and 5%. Exports out of Far East Asia remain the primary driver. Capacity growth, by measure of
available tonne- kilometres, kept pace in the first half of the year, supported by an uptick in deliveries, resulting
in a decline in cargo load factor in April and May. The TAC index measuring global rates, was down 3% year-
on-year in Q2 and 4% compared to the previous quarter.
Demand for ground freight in the US grew by 1.2% year-on-year in the first two months of Q2, driven
by a recovery in manufacturing activity. Truckload supply showed early signs of stabilising after a period
of decline. In Q2, truckload spot rates grew 3% year-on-year. Less Than Truckload rates were down in April
and May compared to the same period in 2024. In Europe, road freight rates fell by 7.9% year-on-year in Q2
against a backdrop of subdued manufacturing activity.
Vacancy rates in US warehousing edged up to 7.1% in Q2, as new supply continued to outpace net demand.
However, with a thinning construction pipeline, vacancy rates are likely to remain close to the long-term 7%
average. In Europe, vacancy rates rose to 6.6% in Q1 2025 (latest available figure) after staying flat in 2024.
This was mainly driven by a stark increase in vacancy in Central and Eastern Europe.

Ocean
Ocean delivered a good performance in a quarter marked by significant volatility in demand and rates.
EBIT reached USD 229m (USD 470m) and volumes grew 10% sequentially, with freight rates picking up in the
quarter, while still being under pressure both sequentially and compared to previous year.
Compared to the same period last year, loaded volumes increased by 4.2%, driven by Asian exports,
while the average freight rate decreased by 9.6% across most trades. The increased volumes led to higher
operating costs, which were partly offset by 16% lower bunker price and the continued optimisation of bunker
con sumption, which was reduced by 4.7%, despite the higher volumes. Unit cost increased slightly by 1.8%,
impacted by the higher cost base, partly offset by the strong volume growth. As in the prior year, Ocean’s
cost base remains impacted by the network re-routing south of the Cape of Good Hope as Red Sea passage
is still deemed unsafe.
Utilisation of 94% (97%) remains at high levels, improving by 1.8 percentage points compared to Q1 2025.
Furthermore, with the successful implementation of the Gemini cooperation during Q2, the East-West net-
work achieved a reliability higher than 90% and is on track to achieve the expected savings.
Financial and operational performance
Revenue increased by USD 202m to USD 8.6bn (USD 8.4bn), driven by the increase in other revenue, due to
the higher revenue from demurrage and detention, supported by the increased hub income. Freight revenue
remained stable at USD 7.3bn (USD 7.3bn) as the volume growth effect was offset by the freight rate decline.
EBITDA of USD 1.4bn (USD 1.4bn) remained at the same level, slightly increasing by USD 36m. Similarly, the
EBITDA margin remained stable at 16.8% (16.8%).
EBIT decreased by USD 241m to USD 229m (USD 470m), impacted by the higher depreciation and amortisation
linked to capacity investments to support the volume delivery, as well as the absence of gains on vessel and
container sales recognised in Q2 2024 of USD 202m.
Loaded volumes increased by 4.2% to 3,230k FFE (3,101k FFE), driven by strong performance in Intra-Asia,
Africa, Asia-Europe, Middle East-Europe and Latin America trades. Compared to Q1 2025, loaded volumes
increased by 10% across all trades.
The average loaded freight rate decreased by 9.6% to 2,259 USD/FFE (2,499 USD/FFE) across most trades and
by 6.9% compared to Q1 2025 (2,427 USD/FFE), following the ongoing and expected market pressure on rates.

A.P. Moller - Maersk Interim Report Q2 | 7 August 2025
Total operating costs increased by USD 181m to USD 7.1bn (USD 7.0bn). The increase was driven by the
higher network costs excluding bunker and the higher container handling costs, which increased by 16%
and 6.6%, respectively; however, the impact was partially offset by a 16% reduction in bunker costs.
Bunker costs decreased by 16% to USD 1.6bn (USD 1.8bn), driven by the lower bunker price by 16% to 537
USD/tonne (636 USD/tonne), combined with the reduced bunker consumption by 4.7%, despite the volume
increase. Costs relating to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) were USD 88m (USD 28m). Excluding
the EU ETS effect, bunker costs decreased by 20%. Bunker efficiency improved by 5.5% to 36.3 g/TEU*NM
(38.4 g/TEU*NM).
Unit cost at fixed bunker increased by 1.8% to 2,409 USD/FFE (2,367 USD/FFE), driven by the increased costs
and partly offset by the higher volumes. Compared to Q1 2025, unit cost at fixed bunker improved by 5.1%,
driven by the strong volume growth.
The average operated capacity of 4,587k TEU (4,282k TEU) increased by 7.1% in line with the increased
demand and Gemini phase-in requirements. The current order book for dual-fuel vessels totalled 31 at the

Key initiatives in Q2
In February 2025, Maersk launched the Gemini cooperation, a strategic partnership with Hapag Lloyd, aiming
to provide a more reliable and efficient customer experience, by utilising the East-West network. At the
beginning of June 2025, the Gemini cooperation was fully phased in and is off to a good start. Within its first
months, the Gemini cooperation has consistently exceeded the 90% schedule reliability ambition as measured
by Sea Intelligence.
Q2 marked a significant milestone in vessel deliveries, with the final two vessels (total of twelve) of the
Ane Mærsk class handed over. In addition, Maersk named the first vessel of the 17,480 TEU Berlin Mærsk
class. All new vessels are equipped with dual-fuel methanol propulsion, showcasing the continuous com-
mitment to decarbonisation.
Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and an uncertain trade environment, Ocean remains committed
to delivering strong customer outcomes, while actively exploring opportunities to streamline operations,
mitigate risks and optimise costs.
Financial review 6M 2025
Ocean delivered an EBIT of USD 972m (USD 309m) amid a dynamic and uncertain environment, due to the
higher revenue by USD 1.1bn to USD 17.5bn (USD 16.4bn), driven by an increase in volumes by 2.2%, partly
offset by 3.9% lower loaded freight rates, following the downward trend in 2025, compared to the upward
trend in 2024.
Revenue was positively impacted by the high loaded freight rates at the end of 2024, which benefitted Q1 2025.
EBITDA increased by USD 983m to USD 3.3bn (USD 2.4bn), and the EBITDA margin increased by 4.7 percentage
points to 19.1% (14.4%).
EBIT increased by USD 663m to USD 972m (USD 309m), and the EBIT margin increased by 3.7 percentage points
to 5.6% (1.9%)
Total operating costs increased by USD 145m to USD 14.1bn (USD 14.0bn), driven by higher network costs
excluding bunker and the higher container handling costs, which increased by 8.2% and 5.2%, respectively;
however, the increase was mostly offset by the lower bunker cost by 13%, driven by the lower bunker price
by 12%, combined with the reduced bunker consumption by 4.0%, despite the increased volumes.
Unit cost at fixed bunker increased by 2.1% to 2,471 USD/FFE (2,421 USD/FFE), driven by higher costs at fixed
bunker, partially offset by the volume growth.

Logistics & Services
Logistics & Services continued to focus on profitability and finished the second quarter of 2025 by
improving the EBIT margin by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year to 4.8% (3.5%), with an improvement of
0.7 percentage points compared to Q1 2025. Gross profit margin for the quarter also increased to 32.5%
(30.0%). The year-on-year margin growth was driven by increased profitability and productivity in multiple
products across ‘by Maersk’ service models through improving the customer offering and the continuation
of overall cost control.
Financial and operational performance
Revenue increased by 1.0% or USD 36m to USD 3.7bn (USD 3.6bn). Managed by Maersk delivered a year-
on-year revenue increase of 6.3%, supported by Transported by Maersk delivering growth of 1.7% year-on-
year. Fulfilled by Maersk revenue decreased by 1.7%. Sequentially, revenue improved by 5.2% compared to
USD 3.5bn in Q1 2025.
Managed by Maersk’s revenue increased by 6.3% or USD 31m to USD 522m (USD 491m), driven by Lead
Logistics through upselling value-added services. Supply Chain Management volumes decreased by
8.8% to 26,061k CBM (28,582k CBM), but were offset by higher rates. Revenue decreased by 5.6% compared
to Q1 2025.
Fulfilled by Maersk’s revenue decreased by 1.7% or USD 24m to USD 1.4bn (USD 1.4bn). The profitability
refocusing efforts in Middle Mile and Last Mile in North America are progressing, and Warehousing &
E-Fulfilment maintained the momentum year-on-year as a result of new customer wins in 2024, benefitting
2025. Sequentially, revenue increased by 4.8%, primarily driven by Middle Mile improvements.
Transported by Maersk’s revenue increased by 1.7% or USD 29m to USD 1.8bn (USD 1.7bn), mainly driven
by First Mile, supported by higher volumes by 1.7% of 1,701k FFE (1,672k FFE). Compared to Q1 2025, First
Mile volumes increased by 5.9%. Air revenue declined year-on-year due to uncertainties from the macro-
environment and the refocusing efforts to improve operational efficiency and margins. Air freight volumes
declined by 12% to 74k tonnes (84k tonnes). Revenue improved by 9.2% compared to Q1 2025.
Gross profit improved by 9.6% or USD 104m to USD 1.2bn (USD 1.1bn), resulting in a strong gross profit
margin of 32.5% (30.0%) with increases across all service models. Gross profit also increased sequentially
by 6.4% or USD 72m compared to Q1 2025.
EBITDA increased by 20% or USD 71m to USD 419m (USD 348m), and the EBITDA margin was 11.4% compared
to 9.6% in Q2 2024.

Key initiatives in Q2
Logistics & Services continued executing its operational improvement strategy in Q2 2025, focusing
on targeted turnaround initiatives and cost optimisation. Contract Logistics achieved a sequential EBIT
improvement with double- digit revenue growth while implementing facility optimisation programmes to
reduce operational costs and improve asset utilisation.
Amid challenging market conditions, including tariff impacts and regulatory changes, Logistics & Services
remains focused on operational efficiency, cost optimisation and delivering sustainable profitability improve-
ments through disciplined execution of controllable initiatives.
Financial review 6M 2025
Revenue increased by USD 20m to USD 7.2bn (USD 7.1bn), driven by Managed by Maersk’s increase by USD 116m
and offset by a decrease in Fulfilled by Maersk by USD 125m. Transported by Maersk maintained relatively
similar revenue levels as the prior year with growth of 0.9%.
EBITDA increased by 31% to USD 802m (USD 614m), driven by cost control.
EBIT increased by 76% to USD 317m (USD 180m), driven by most products and supported by commercial
progress and continued cost control, resulting in an EBIT margin of 4.4% (2.5%).

Terminals
Q2 2025 represented another strong quarter, where Terminals delivered record-high volume and revenue.
Volume increased by 9.9% with strong demand across the entire portfolio. Accordingly, utilisation
increased by 9.9 percentage points to 86% (76%) with a number of terminals operating near maximum
capacity. As a result, the EBIT margin improved by 2.9 percentage points to 35.3% (32.4%).
Financial and operational performance
Revenue increased by 20% to USD 1.3bn (USD 1.1bn), driven by higher volume, improved tariffs and higher
storage revenue. Volume grew by 9.9% with strong uplift across all regions. Volume from Ocean increased
by 29% and volume from external customers increased by 0.9%. The disproportional growth in internal
volume versus external is driven by Ocean’s transition from the old 2M alliance to the new East-West net-
work (Gemini cooperation). Utilisation increased to 86% (76%) due to the increase in volume, with several
terminals operating close to maximum capacity.
Revenue per move increased by 8.9% to USD 360 (USD 330), driven by improved tariffs, an increase in
storage revenue and improved terminal mix. Revenue per move (like-for-like) increased by 8.0%, driven by
improved tariffs and higher storage revenue. Cost per move increased by 12% to USD 278 (USD 247) due
to labour inflation, increasing congestion, SG&A and a negative terminal mix impact, partly offset by the
impact of higher utilisation. Cost per move (like-for-like) increased by 8.1% with the impact of significant
labour inflation being partly outweighed by the positive impact from higher utilisation. At fixed foreign
exchange rates, volume mix and portfolio mix, revenue per move improved by 8.0% and cost per move
increased by 8.1%.
EBITDA increased by 12% to USD 458m (USD 408m) due to improved utilisation and higher storage revenue.
Compared to Q1 2025, EBITDA increased by USD 14m despite a sequential decrease in storage revenue.
The EBITDA margin decreased to 35.0% (37.5%) due to the increasing labour cost.
EBIT increased by 31% to USD 461m (USD 353m) due to the higher EBITDA and higher results from joint
ventures and associated companies.
ROIC (LTM average) increased to 15.4% (12.2%). The strong performance has mitigated the adverse impact
of the around USD 1bn increase in invested capital as a result of the Port Elizabeth concession extension,
which was signed in Q2 2025. As ROIC is calculated as LTM average, the full effect of the extension will
not be reflected for another 10 months.

In North America, volume increased by 11%, primarily driven by significant growth in Los Angeles, USA,
and Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, partly offset by weaker volume in Port Elizabeth and Mobile, USA. Utilisation
increased by 6.2 percentage points to 82% (76%).
In Latin America, volume increased by 20%, driven by Callao, Peru, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Pecem,
Brazil. Utilisation increased by 19 percentage points to 96% (77%) with some terminals operating above
design capacity.
In Europe, volume increased by 4.7%, driven by Vado, Italy and Aarhus, Denmark. Utilisation increased by
6.3 percentage points to 82% (76%).
In Africa, volume increased by 12%, driven by Apapa and Onne, Nigeria. Utilisation increased by 15 percent-
age points to 73% (58%).
In Asia, volume increased by 6.3%, driven by Mumbai, India, and Aqaba, Jordan, which was heavily impacted
by the Red Sea situation in 2024. Utilisation increased by 9.5 percentage points to 90% (80%).
Results from joint ventures and associated companies
The share of profits in joint ventures and associated companies increased by 88% to USD 154m (USD 82m),
primarily driven by the recognition of a deferred tax asset and strong volume in both West Africa and
Santos, Brazil.
Key initiatives in Q2
In Haiphong, Vietnam, APM Terminals, together with its strategic partner Hateco Group, celebrated the grand
opening of the Hateco Haiphong International Container Terminal (HHIT). The terminal, developed through
the strategic partnership between Hateco Group and APM Terminals, provides two new deep-water berths
capable of accommodating vessels of up to 18,000 TEU at Lach Huyen Port in Haiphong City.
In Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, APM Terminals acquired six state-of-the-art electric ARMG cranes. This
acquisition is part of the terminal’s Phase II expansion, for which APM Terminals has invested USD 165m to
date. The expansion includes increasing the terminal area by 65 hectares and doubling its annual capacity to
2.2m TEU, and highlights APM Terminals’ commitment to driving Mexico’s economic growth and transitioning
towards more sustainable port operations.
Financial review 6M 2025
Revenue increased by 22% to USD 2.5bn (USD 2.1bn), driven by a 9.2% increase in volume, improved tariffs
and higher storage revenue. Capacity utilisation increased to 83% (73%).
Revenue per move increased by 11% to USD 362 (USD 327), mainly driven by improved tariffs, storage revenue
and improved terminal mix, partially offset by an unfavourable foreign exchange rate impact. Cost per move
increased by 10% to USD 277 (USD 250) due to labour inflation, other costs, one-offs and revenue-driven
concession fees, partly offset by higher utilisation and positive foreign exchange rate impact.
EBITDA increased to USD 902m (USD 756m), driven by higher volume and higher storage revenue.
EBIT increased to USD 855m (USD 653m), driven by the higher EBITDA and results from joint ventures and
associated companies due to the recognition of a deferred tax asset.

A.P. Moller - Maersk Interim Report Q2 | 7 August 2025
Amounts in USD million
Note 5 Commitments
The total commitments across segments of USD 7.4bn (USD 8.6bn at 31 December 2024) are related to investments
in dual- fuel vessels, commitments towards terminal concession grantors and EU allowances (EUAs) future contracts.
Note 6 Accounting policies, judgements and significant estimates
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure
requirements for interim financial reporting of listed companies.
The accounting policies, judgements and significant estimates are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report 2024,
except for the Amendments to IAS 21 on Lack of exchangeability. In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 The
Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, which introduced requirements to assess when a currency is exchangeable into
another currency and when it is not. The amendments had been adopted by the EU in November 2024. The amendments have
had no material effect on the interim financial statements.
Note 4 Acquisitions of subsidiaries
Acquisitions during 6M 2025
Panama Canal Railway Company (Ocean)
On 1 April 2025, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Panama Canal Railway Company (PCRC) from Canadian Pacific
Kansas City Limited and the Lanco Group/Mi-Jack. PCRC operates a 76-km single-line railway adjacent to the Panama Canal,
mainly facilitating cargo movement between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The acquisition will allow the Group to offer
a broader range of services related to intermodal container movement to its global shipping customers. The total purchase
price paid in cash amounts to USD 687m, of which USD 659m relates to intangible assets, primarily concession rights, and
USD 13m to assumed cash and bank balances. Other assets acquired include property, plant and equipment, and deposits.
The liabilities acquired primarily relate to debt and trade payables.
From the acquisition date to 30 June 2025, PCRC contributed with revenue of USD 17m and an insignificant net profit.
Had the acquisition occurred on 1 January 2025, the impact on the Group’s revenue would have been USD 30m. The net
profit impact to the Group would have been insignificant. Acquisition-related costs of USD 5m have been recognised as
operating costs in the income statement of the Ocean segment and as cash flow from operating activities in the cash flow
statement.
The accounting for the business combination is considered provisional as at 30 June 2025, subject to finalisation of the
valuation of intangible assets.
Acquisitions during 6M 2024
No material acquisitions took place during 6M 2024.
