Deutsche Post says US DHL Express unit improving

Posted by | Aug 23, 2005 | |

Deutsche Post World Net said its DHL express business in the U.S. was improving as a result of better management, while growth in Asia and emerging markets remained strong. John Mullen, a joint chief executive of the company’s express division DHL, told an analyst conference that the Bonn-based mail and logistics company expected its U.S. DHL business to break even in the fourth quarter of next year. For 2005, the company reiterated that DHL expects a loss of EUR300 million in the U.S. Despite difficulties and strong competition from United Parcel Service and FedEx, DHL said the U.S. business was seeing improvements in service and quality. DHL said it would work to streamline operations by focusing on cost control, productivity and revenue improvements. “The second-half financial targets for the U.S. are ambitious but achievable,” Mullen said in the business update.
