DHL: "As a result of the continuation of the economic recovery and the group's good earnings performance during the first nine months of the year, Deutsche Post DHL has been able to improve its earnings guidance for the full year 2010 and raise the lower end of the planned range for the group's underlying EBIT. The Board of Management now projects the group's underlying EBIT to total between EUR2.0 billion and EUR2.1 billion. Deutsche Post DHL had previously expected an amount in the range of EUR1.9 billion and EUR2.1 billion," Company statement. Source: DHL, 09-Nov-2010.

DHL: "In recent years, we have systematically created the conditions that enable the group to sustainably improve its profitability. With underlying EBIT that will likely total more than EUR2 billion, we will take another big step forward this year. But we are still a long way from reaching our full potential," Frank Appel, CEO.
