The dismissal of 10,000 employees should cost approximately USD 600 million in 2024.
Veden left its full-year outlook for EBITDA profit at USD 9.5 – 11 billion, but said it was expected to hit the bottom line in real terms.
In 2022, Maersk recorded record results with an EBITDA profit equal to USD 37 billion, mainly supported by the realization of deferred demand after the end of the covid pandemic and imposed commercial cuts. The current situation indicates that the deferred demand has reached its full potential and therefore there will be a significant cooling in the overall demand due to the increased macroeconomic insights.
