Logistics giant Maersk said it delivered “strong” financial results in the third quarter of 2025, driven by operational improvements and proactive cost measures.

The company reported that it achieved sequential growth across all business segments in the three-month period, raising its full-year financial guidance as a result.

Revenue for the quarter fell to US$14.21bn from US$15.76bn in the corresponding months of 2024, mainly the result of a drop in the Ocean segment.

The group’s consolidated EBITDA slid to US$2.69bn from just under US$4.8bn last year, while EBIT dropped from US$3.31bn to US$1.28bn.

“We have delivered a strong third quarter across our business,” outlined CEO Vincent Clerc.

”Our performance reflects our ability to execute and continuously improve, as well as the trust customers place in us.

”The new East-West network has strengthened our Ocean performance, delivering industry-leading reliability, higher volumes and lower costs,” he continued.

”Terminals achieved another record quarter with strong volume growth, and Logistics & Services continued to enhance profitability.

”As market conditions fluctuate, we are well positioned to help our customers adapt and maintain stability across their supply chains,” Clerc added.

Maersk refined the full-year 2025 financial guidance by raising the lower end, with EBITDA now pegged at US$9-9.5bn and EBIT forecast at US$3-3.5bn.
