    Management comments: Despite the continued weak freight markets, DHL Group is on track to deliver on its FY 2023 EBIT and FCF targets. With expected €3bn FCF (excl.

  4. Slide 4: B2C volumes development

    Management comments: B2C volumes continue to show good resilience with e-commerce gaining further share of retail sales.

  5. Slide 5: B2B volumes development

    Management comments: B2B volumes in Express and Global Forwarding remained sequentially about stable in Q3; activity levels have not worsened but there have also been no relevant signs of cyclical recovery and related inventory restocking so far.

    Management comments: In Q3 2023, the end markets across our divisions have continued to develop largely in line with the L-scenario of our initial 2023 guidance assumptions.

  11. Slide 11: Deep-dive: Express

    Management comments: Q3 Express TDI shipments/day have developed very similarly to Q2.

  14. Slide 14: 2023 guidance confirmed for two remaining macro scenarios

    Management comments: We fully confirm our expectation to the sensitivities of the individual macroeconomic scenarios as laid out in our previous guidance updates this year. However, the V-shape scenario can meanwhile be excluded as the actual market development did not show a recovery so far. As of

  15. Slide 15: 2023 guidance confirmed; scenarios aligned to macro environment

    Management comments: As the V-shape scenario can now be excluded, we have confirmed FY 2023 guidance for the two remaining scenarios, leading to updated ranges for Group and DHL EBIT.
