Let’s break it down in 10 critical questions that reveal the true state of Maersk in Q2 2025👇
1️⃣ Did Maersk grow in Q2 2025?
3.1B (up from $12.8B last year)
EBITDA: $2.3B (up from $2.1B)
Underlying EBIT: $818M (up from $756M)
💡 But free cash flow went negative: –$373M, due to rising capex and lease costs.
2️⃣ What happened to profitability?
📉 Headline EBIT fell to $845M (–$118M YoY) Why?
Ocean EBIT plunged 51% to $229M
Logistics & Services grew EBIT to $175M (+39%)
Terminals surged to $461M (+31%)
🏗️ Heavy investments in fleet + no asset sales this quarter = margin pressure.
3️⃣ Is the Ocean division still the crown jewel?
🚢 Not this time.
Volumes rose 4.2%, but…
Freight rates fell 9.6% YoY
Unit costs (ex-bunker) rose 1.8%
EBIT margin dropped to 2.7% (from 5.6%)
💥 Profit was squeezed despite 10% higher volume QoQ. Ocean is now working harder for smaller returns.
