HHLA Reports Strong Growth Amid Economic Challenges in Q1 2025

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) started 2025 with significant revenue and earnings growth, despite facing geopolitical tensions and a sluggish German economy. Revenue rose by 19.8% to €435.6 million, and operating results (EBIT) increased by 86.6% to €32.5 million, with a profit after tax of €7.9 million. The improvements are attributed to the successful expansion of HHLA's European network.

The Port Logistics subgroup saw a revenue increase of 20.1% to €426.3 million. Container throughput also rose by 5.5% to 1,544 thousand TEU. The Intermodal segment experienced a 28.7% rise in container transport volumes, largely driven by increased rail transport.

HHLA's CEO, Angela Titzrath, highlighted the benefits of their investment strategy, particularly in rail transport, contributing to the strong start in 2025. Despite global uncertainties, HHLA maintains its positive outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
