Group 1: Acquisition and Financial Outlook - NTG has completed the acquisition of DTK on May 7, 2025, which is expected to contribute approximately DKK 75 million to adjusted EBIT in 2025, strengthening NTG's position in the Nordic region and enhancing capabilities in temperature-controlled transportation [1] - The full-year outlook for 2025 has been updated to an adjusted EBIT range of DKK 560 - 630 million, down from the previous range of DKK 575 - 650 million, reflecting preliminary Q1 results and the integration of DTK [5] - The preliminary adjusted EBIT for the Group for Q1 2025 is reported at DKK 121 million [4] Group 2: Market Conditions and Challenges - Recent tariffs from the United States have complicated global trade, leading to a slowdown in transport activity, particularly affecting shipments from China and import volumes into the U.S. [2] - The market environment remains challenging due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and limited visibility across customer supply chains, impacting operations in key markets [3] - Activity levels in recent acquisitions, Schmalz+Schön and ITC Logistic, have been below expectations due to a decline in recurring business and softer demand, particularly in the German market [4] Group 3: Future Assumptions and Risks - The updated outlook assumes flat development in the road market, with potential downside risks due to low visibility in the German market and negative impacts from increased U.S. tariffs on air and ocean markets [9] - The outlook includes effects from all completed acquisitions, including DTK, but does not account for potential impacts from other acquisitions in 2025 [9] - Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties remain elevated, and the assumptions underlying the outlook may change [9]
