First-Half 2025 results
Geopost 31 July 2025
Geopost maintains its strategic focus despite market headwinds
In a persistently complex economic environment, marked by continued macroeconomic pressures, Geopost delivered a resilient performance in the first half of 2025. While parcel volumes saw modest growth, Geopost recorded a €253 million operating profit, supported by solid performances in strategic segments such as out-of-home, international flows and food logistics.
Geopost reported a €7.629 billion revenue as of end-June 2025:
-
Geopost’s parcel delivery activity recorded a +1.8% increase in volumes, and a +0.8% increase of its revenue worldwide.
-
Asendia’s revenue declined by 13%, while maintaining solid and stable operating profit.
Strategic segments continued to show positive momentum:
-
Out-of-home volumes rose by +26 %,
-
International parcel flows increased by +4%,
-
Food logistics also recorded growth of 11%
-
These segments remain key levers for long-term differentiation and value creation in a transforming logistics market.
Geopost also maintained progress on its sustainability roadmap, continuing to decouple volume growth from emissions. Preliminary data show a 2.5% reduction in absolute carbon emissions within the SBTi scope in Q1 2025, driven by the expansion of its low-emission fleet and broader deployment of alternative energy solutions.
Yves Delmas, CEO of Geopost, said:
"In a persistently difficult and volatile environment, our first-half results for 2025 confirm Geopost’s ability to stay the course and deliver resilient performance. Despite continued market pressures, we have maintained our focus on serving consumers and businesses with agility and operational discipline across all geographies. Our three growth drivers – out-of-home delivery, food logistics and international flows – once again demonstrated strong results, reinforcing the relevance of our strategic choices. In parallel, we are stepping up our sustainability efforts, with continued progress on the decarbonisation of our operations across Europe. These resilient results and ongoing progress reflect both the strength of our model and the daily commitment of our teams across the business, whom I want to sincerely thank.”
Delivering results in a competitive landscape
The first half of 2025 remained challenging for the parcel and logistics industry, which continues to operate in a fragile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. While inflationary pressures have eased, the sector still faces structural headwinds, including sluggish consumer demand, heightened price competition, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty across several regions.
Geopost’s operating profit stood at € 253 million as of end-June 2025, compared to € 331 million at the same point in 2024. This decrease reflects a combination of persistent cost inflation, price competition and non-recurring items.
Continued focus on high-growth segments
In the first half of 2025, Geopost made significant progress in three strategic segments: out-of-home, international and food deliveries, which continue to reshape parcel delivery across Europe.
Out-of-home volumes surged by 26% by the end of June, confirming their central role in the group’s service model. Geopost also continued to strengthen its position in cross-border and specialised food deliveries during the first half of 2025, with a solid performance across both food and international segments.
Several Geopost business units including DPD Poland, Chronopost in France, DPD Latvia and DPD Lithuania significantly contributed to this momentum by deepening their presence in these segments and adapting to local market dynamics.
Chronopost confirmed also its position as the leading provider of BtoB deliveries in France. With solid growth, rising volumes and continued innovation, the company is reinforcing its role as a key partner for professionals across sectors.
Geopost has developed one of the densest and most extensive out-of-home networks on the market, enabling out-of-home cross-border deliveries between 28 countries in Europe. This achievement underscores Geopost’s commitment to providing customers with choice, flexibility and convenience through varied out-of-home solutions across Europe. As of June 2025, Geopost’s pan-European out-of-home network spanned 28 countries and totalled 138,000 parcel shops and lockers in Europe. As lockers are also growing fast in Europe, Geopost is accelerating its locker strategy and offers now almost 38,500 lockers (13,000 more than by June 2024). On lockers specifically, DPD UK signed in April 2025 a major strategic partnership with the YEEP! Network, adding 8,000 parcel lockers over the next five years.
In parallel, as food and temperature-controlled deliveries continue to experience strong and steady growth (+11% versus June 2024), Geopost’s Italian business unit BRT further developed its food delivery capabilities in Italy, strengthening its expertise and supporting the sustained growth of this high-value segment.
Maintaining sustainability at the core of Geopost’s strategy
Geopost has reduced its carbon emissions within the SBTi perimeter by 2.5% in absolute terms in the first quarter of 2024, equivalent to a reduction of 4% per parcel, amounting to 910 g/parcel, which demonstrates the ongoing improvements achieved by the Geopost network despite a parcel volume increase.
In June 2025, Geopost joined the Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ALICE) as a new member, to engage in EU-funded projects, contributing to urban logistics and emissions-focused groups and supporting policy development. In June, Geopost also proudly renewed its commitment to EV100, Climate Group’s global network of corporate leaders driving the transition to zero-emission road transport.
Geopost announced in its latest sustainability report that it has reached the milestone of 10,000 electric delivery vehicles operating across Europe. To support the charging needs of its current and future fleet, Geopost is actively developing and strengthening its charging infrastructure, including the deployment of smart charging solutions. Most recently, DPD Switzerland partnered with autoSense to become the first to trial the company’s chargeSmart technology. This system dynamically adjusts electric vehicle (EV) charging based on energy market conditions, the availability of renewable energy, and operating times. Key benefits of the solution include automating the charging process to occur when electricity prices are low and grid demand is minimal. This initiative follows DPD UK’s collaboration with BP Pulse to roll out rapid charging infrastructure across 17 sites, aimed at reducing operating costs and improving fleet efficiency.
