Significant events
- “In late 2024, an agreement was reached between the DHL divisions Post & Paket (P&P) and DHL eCommerce to transfer the Deutsche Post Internal business from P&P to DHL eCommerce, effective January 2025. This transfer included operations in the United Kingdom, where two DHL eCommerce entities were active: DHL Parcel UK and Deutsche Post Global Mail (UK) Ltd. Following internal divisional alignment, the two entities agreed on a business split primarily based on the warehouse locations of UK-based customers. DHL Parcel UK assumed responsibility for customers with warehouse operations in the UK, while Deutsche Post Global Mail (UK) Ltd took over customers with warehouse operations within the European Union. Correspondingly, employees supporting these activities were allocated between the two entities in line with the revised business structure.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
