DHL has come a long way since the end of February, when it announced group ebit losses of between €60m-€70m ($66m-$77m) in the month.
With help from the Global Forwarding unit, up 53%, group ebit rose 16% in the second quarter, to some €890m.

Interesting comment. Unsubstantiated, but interesting nonetheless.
