CMA CGM records a 12,1% increase in its revenue in the first quarter of 2025 and remains vigilant in the face of geopolitical and commercial uncertainties.

In the first quarter of 2025, CMA CGM posted solid performance despite an unstable global environment. The group recorded revenues of $13,3 billion, up 12,1% compared to the same period in 2024. Its EBITDA climbed to $3,1 billion (+29,1%), bringing the margin to 23,3%. "Demand for transportation and logistics services remained strong," explains the group, despite geopolitical tensions and the resumption of trade hostilities between the United States and China.

Maritime activity remains the main driver of growth, with revenue of $8,8 billion, an increase of 11,5%. CMA CGM transported 5,8 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), up 4,2%, with average revenue per container reaching $1 (+498%). These results demonstrate the resilience of maritime transport in the face of the uncertainties of global trade.

The logistics branch also recorded significant growth, with revenue of $4,3 billion (+10,1%), driven in particular by the integration of Bolloré Logistics since February 2024. EBITDA for this activity reached $399 million (+10,5%). However, CMA CGM emphasizes that "The difficulties in the automotive market have weighed on the logistics of finished vehicles and road transport, particularly in Europe."

Despite these encouraging results, CMA CGM remains cautious for the coming months. "Visibility on the evolution of global trade remains limited," the group notes, while citing positive signals regarding a possible easing of Sino-American tensions. It concludes: "The situation is fluid and the group will remain cautious and agile."
