ZIM Integrated (NYSE: ZIM) reported its second-quarter (Q2) 2025 earnings, which fell short of analyst expectations. The company's earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.19, significantly lower than the consensus estimate of $1.30 [2]. Revenue for the period was $1.64 billion, missing the expected $1.74 billion, marking a year-over-year (YoY) decline of 15% [1].

The company's total revenues for Q2 2025 were $1.64 billion, compared to $1.93 billion in the same period last year. This decrease was primarily driven by a drop in freight rates and carried volume. Carried volume in the second quarter was 895 thousand TEUs, a YoY decrease of 6%, while the average freight rate per TEU in the second quarter was $1,479, a YoY decrease of 12% [1].

ZIM Integrated's guidance for the full year 2025 has been adjusted. The midpoint for adjusted EBITDA is now $1.8 billion to $2.2 billion, and the midpoint for adjusted EBIT is $550 million to $950 million. The company also declared a dividend of $7 million, or $0.06 per share [1].

The disappointing results come amid industry headwinds and speculation about a potential buyout. Analysts are expecting sharp declines in earnings and revenue due to these factors [2].
