DFDS’s Acquisitions Fuel Growth In Q2

In Q2, DFDS’ revenue increased 6% to DKK 3.9bn driven by the expansion of the route network in the Mediterranean (with the acquisition of U.N. Ro-Ro), as well as continued growth in the freight activities in northern Europe. These two factors were also the key driver of the increase in EBITDA before special items by 9% to DKK 802m.

The growth of freight ferry volumes was in line with expectations in both northern Europe and the Mediterranean with overall growth of 6%.

Logistics volumes were up 5% for continuing activities.
