GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics solutions, has published its main financial indicators for the first semester of 2026.

In a global transport and logistics market that is both buoyant and under significant pressure, the Group has maintained its profitability at 10.0% (vs. 9.9% in the first half of 2025).

These results reflect the strength of the GEODIS model, a French leader among the world’s top ten logistics players, present throughout the entire supply chain of its customers. The Distribution & Express activity posted growth, driven by increased volumes in France and by mechanisms mitigating the effects of rising fuel costs. Conversely, road transport operations in France, the United States, and Europe are operating in a context of weak demand, with the exception of less-than-truckload (LTL) transport in Poland, which benefits from the region’s industrial dynamism. At constant scope and exchange rates, contract logistics is stable, supported by a portfolio renewal thanks to strong commercial development at the beginning of the year.

“These half-year results illustrate the robustness of GEODIS in an environment that remains complex. Our market is shaped by fundamental trends: growth in global trade, regional reshoring, digitalisation, energy transition, and climate challenges. Nevertheless, it remains highly exposed to volatility. In this context, our integrated model, global presence, and culture of operational excellence are major assets for our customers. We continue to execute our strategy with confidence to support them in transforming their supply chains and building logistics that are more efficient, more digital, and more sustainable,” says Marie-Christine Lombard, CEO of GEODIS Group.

Stable half-year results in a volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment

In the first half of 2026, GEODIS recorded revenue of €5.3 billion. At constant scope and exchange rates, the decline was limited to -€76 million (-1.4%). This result reflects the solid performance of the Group’s activities, the strength of its diversified model, and the continued rigorous management in a market environment that remains mixed. It also demonstrates GEODIS’s ability to support its customers in adapting and optimising their supply chains —a key factor in cost control—while pursuing its priorities in operational performance, business development, and deep adaptation to the climate emergency.

A first half dedicated to the 2026-2030 strategy

During the first half, GEODIS continued to execute its strategic priorities:

1. Strengthening operational performance and network

GEODIS reinforced its capabilities in France with the completion of the acquisition of Transports Malherbe (March 2026). This operation consolidates the Group’s position in the full and partial truckload market, strengthens its territorial coverage, and increases its capacity to support customers in key sectors such as agri-food and mass distribution.

The Group also took an important step in structuring its port offering, with the unification of Sealogis, Sealogis Freight Forwarding, and XP LOG under the GEODIS brand (April 2026), as well as the inauguration of its first multi-service port hub in Le Havre (June 2026). This integrated platform illustrates GEODIS’s ability to offer a complete end-to-end solution, from the arrival of goods to their final delivery.

2. Accelerating decarbonization and adaptation to the climate emergency

The Group achieved the highest level of CDP recognition with an “A” Climate Change 2025 rating, acknowledging the quality of its climate governance, the transparency of its commitments, and the implementation of concrete actions.

This momentum resulted in several advances: surpassing 200 electric charging stations deployed at GEODIS sites in France, continuing the electrification of fleets, and delivering to the city centers of the 100 largest French urban areas with low-emission vehicles. GEODIS now aims to reach the 200 largest cities in France by 2027.

3. Developing value-added solutions

GEODIS has continued to develop solutions tailored to the specific needs of its customers. In the healthcare sector, the Group inaugurated two temperature-controlled cross-docking platforms in Chicago (US) and Manchester (UK), strengthening its capabilities for sensitive pharmaceutical flows and maintaining the cold chain.

GEODIS also enhanced its digital offering with the launch of an express air transport solution on MyGEODIS.com, enabling companies to ship parcels and pallets to major European economic centers. This service is particularly aimed at meeting the needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) for speed, simplicity, and flexibility.

4. Contributing to the resilience of supply chains in the Defense sector

GEODIS took part in the “Excalibur 26” exercise, organised as part of the “ORION 26” military exercise at the invitation of the French Armed Forces Headquarters. This strategic exercise, aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation in the face of major crises, illustrates GEODIS’s ability to anticipate future challenges, enhance collective resilience, and ensure the responsiveness and robustness of the logistics ecosystem in crisis situations.

Outlook for the second half of 2026

In the second half of 2026, GEODIS will continue to execute its 2026-2030 strategic plan with a priority on profitable growth, continuous improvement of operational performance, process digitalization, and the development of low-carbon solutions.

GEODIS will also continue to support its customers in adapting their supply chains, as companies seek partners capable of providing visibility, flexibility, resilience, and environmental performance.
