Cavaillon, 29 October 2013 – ID Logistics, one of the French leaders in contract logistics, generated revenues of €206.3 million in the third quarter of 2013, up 45.1% compared with the third quarter of 2012 (17.9% like-forlike).
Commenting on these figures, Eric Hémar, Chairman and CEO of ID Logistics, said: "ID Logistics delivered a strong performance in the third quarter of 2013 in all regions and continued to gain market share. In France, the Group further stepped up its rate of growth thanks to the start of new contracts and satisfactory volumes over the quarter. In international markets, the Group again achieved very robust growth driven by solid business momentum, particularly in Brazil, South Africa and Russia. Furthermore, the integration of CEPL is progressing on target and allows us to confirm the strong potential of this acquisition."

ID Logistics' consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2013 totalled €206.3 million, a sharp increase of 45.1% (17.9% like-for-like) compared with the third quarter of 2012. The change and perimeter impact consists in two main events:
In France, revenues came to €114.3 million, up 9.5% compared with the third quarter of 2012 on a like-for-like basis. This acceleration relative to the first half of the year is mainly as a result of solid volumes and the start of new contracts.
In international markets, revenues came to €92.0 million, up 30.9% on a like-for-like basis. Despite an unfavourable base effect relating to the start of a number of contracts in the third quarter of 2012, international revenues remained very brisk, driven chiefly by strong growth in emerging markets, in particular Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Poland. In the third quarter of 2013, international activities accounted for 45% of the Group's total revenues, including the consolidation of CEPL.
ID Logistics is continuing to enjoy solid business momentum with a high success rate for responses to tenders both in France and abroad. For example:
The integration of CEPL, initiated when the deal was signed on 22 July, is progressing on target. The new organisational structure has already been defined and will be fully operational by the end of the year. The strategic fit of this acquisition and its potential for development have been confirmed. The Group has already been invited to take part in tender offers in CEPL's areas of expertise (electronics, cultural goods, selective, perfumes, textiles) and is looking into opportunities to work with some of CEPL's clients outside France.
Thanks to its strategy as a "pure player" contract logistics company, its increasingly diversified positioning and its locked-in growth model, ID Logistics benefits from strong visibility on revenues for 2013 and beyond. Tight control of start-up costs associated with this rapid growth should enable it to continue to increase its profits.
