L’opérateur postal allemand a en effet annoncé que le bénéfice net pour le premier semestre s’est effondré à 155 mio. d’EUR (contre plus de 1 mia. d’EUR il y a un an), essentiellement du au provisionnement de 850 mio. d’EUR pour faire face à l’obligation, imposée par la Commission européenne, de rembourser 850 mio. d’aides d’Etat illicites. Le chiffre d’affaires, quant à lui, a augmenté de 15% à 19,4 mia. d’EUR, en grande partie grâce à l’intégration des chiffres de DHL dans ceux de DP, depuis que ce dernier détient 76% des parts du transporteur express.
