Changes in reporting and portfolio

At the beginning of the year, we transferred DHL Express Sweden’s domestic business to DHL Freight Sweden to enable us to more efficiently meet changing customer requirements. The prior-year segment reporting figures were adjusted accordingly.

At the beginning of March, DHL Express UK completed the sale of its day-definite domestic business. All assets and liabilities had previously been classified as held for sale.

In accordance with the revised IAS 39, the previously unrecognised forward sale of 27.4% of Postbank’s shares to Deutsche Bank has been recognised in profit and loss and is included for the first time at its fair value in net financial income.
