Risks
- Tariff changes: US - centric tariff changes could dampen broader international trade volumes; however, long - term digitalization of freight is the most powerful driver, and impact on the business is expected to be limited. The de minimis exemption change could lead to reduced e - commerce volumes, creating more capacity for mainstream air cargo on the platform, but overall uncertainty exists due to tariff changes.
Q&A highlights
Q: Jason Helfstein asked about the industry inflection point and potential use of stock for strategic M&A.
A: Zvi Schreiber said air is well along the digitalization trend, ocean is at early stage; looking for ocean liners to create APIs, and end - customer adoption of digital techniques; not actively planning acquisitions using stock but open to opportunistic ones if price is attractive.
Q: George Sutton asked about potential tariff impacts and AI rollout.
A: Zvi Schreiber and Christian Wilhelm said tariffs could have negative impact on world trade but positive for platform if de minimis is canceled; AI is used in internal processes and products, with Skyway in pilot stage showing positive revenue impact in proof of concept and AI report generator already in use by customers
