- Progress on turning points ahead of expectations
- 2026 EBIT outlook raised to DKK 1.0-1.4bn from DKK 0.8-1.1bn
Progress on five of the six turning points underpinning the 2026 EBIT outlook jointly performed ahead of expectations in Q1 2026, with the largest contribution coming from the Mediterranean ferry network. Further improvements are expected in the following quarters. The sixth turning point performed in line with expectations.
The significant increase in the oil price - as well as in the price spread between high and low sulphur oil types - from the beginning of March 2026 entailed a negative financial impact in the month which is expected to reverse to a positive impact in Q2 2026 given current price spread levels.
On this basis, the 2026 EBIT outlook is raised to DKK 1,000-1,400m from previously DKK 800-1,100m.
DFDS' Q1 2026 interim report is scheduled for release on 5 May 2026 at around 7.30am CET.
