(Bonn) The Group was able to record another positive business development in the third quarter of the current year. The year-on-year comparison of shipment volumes determined by online commerce in the B2C business improved as expected in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the stronger decline observed in the first half of 2022. Against the backdrop of overall economic uncertainties, the transport volumes in the B2B business reflected a declining demand.

Overall, however, the utilization in all networks of the DHL divisions remained good, enabling an improvement in results.
