Aug, 08, 2021 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202131
In the second quarter of 2021, A.P. Moller – Maersk continued to deliver strong growth and profitability, with record-breaking performance marking the 12th quarter of successive year-on-year earnings progress.
Revenue grew 58 pct. to USD 14.2bn in Q2 and EBIT increased almost five times to USD 4.1bn. The net result came in at USD 3.7bn in the second quarter, bringing the net result for the first half of 2021 to USD 6.5bn. Return on invested capital (ROIC) is now at 23,7 pct. for the past 12 months.
In Ocean, profitability in Q2 was driven by revenue growth to USD 11.1bn from USD 6.6bn and EBIT increased to USD 3.6bn from USD 0.5bn. The growth came from a 15 pct. rebound in volumes and an increase in average freight rates of 59 pct., as both long-terms contracts rates with key clients increased and short-term contracts were still impacted by congestions and bottlenecks.
Logistics & Services delivered 38 pct. revenue growth to USD 2.2bn in Q2 with more than half coming from the top Ocean customers. Demand was strong across all product families and consequently EBIT more than tripled to USD 153m compared to USD 42m in the same quarter last year, leading to an EBIT margin of 7.1 pct.
Also, Gateway Terminals had a strong Q2 with volumes rebounding 24 pct. and persisting high storage income. Revenue increased to USD 969m from USD 723m last year, while EBIT doubled to USD 302m leading to an EBIT margin of 31.1 pct.
