Management's review

DSV achieved very satisfactory results for the first six months of 2010, thereby realising the highest H1 operating profit ever.

The results are a consequence of increasing activity levels in the first six month of 2010. Results were also positively affected by the initiatives launched in 2009 to adapt overheads, optimise working procedures and implement improved IT systems.

To continue this development and remain competitive at all times, focus is maintained on the following primary areas:

  • gaining additional market shares in the main markets of the Group by maintaining the increased sales efforts
  • optimising business processes and streamlining working procedures

The integration of ABX LOGISTICS (ABX) has now been fully completed in all countries, and the total synergies are expected to be realised over the next quarters.

REVENUE

In the first six months of 2010, DSV realised an organic growth of 9.7% compared with the corresponding period of 2009 when adjusted for foreign currency translation differences and the acquisition and divestment of enterprises. In the assessment of Management, DSV has gained market shares in its main markets.

H1 REVENUE – REALISED 2010 VERSUS REALISED
2009
DKKm
H1 2009 revenue 18,267
Foreign currency translation adjustments 446
Acquisition and divestment of enterprises, net -103
Growth 1,796
H1 2010 revenue 20,406

DSV recorded an increase of 18.4% for Q2 2010 relative to the same period of 2009.

GROSS PROFIT

The consolidated gross profit for the first six months of 2010 is in line with the corresponding period last year. However, the Group realised an increase in gross profit in Q2 2010 when measured in monetary terms.

The consolidated gross margin came to 22.5% as against 25.0% for the same period of 2009. The decline in the gross margin of the Air & Sea Division is mainly attributable to the increase in trade volumes and shortage of transport market capacity. The shortage of capacity has led to increasing freight rates, which means that the part of this transport service produced by the Group constitutes a proportionately lower share. Moreover, the prices for the customers have only been adapted with some delay, which had a negative impact on gross margin.

The Group handles more, although smaller, shipments at a lower price. For H1, prices charged were below those of the same period last year. This applies in particular to the Road Division, which continues to face fierce price competition.

Adjusted for foreign currency translation differences and the acquisition and divestment of enterprises, DSV recorded a drop in gross profit of 1.6% on the same period of 2009.

H1 GROSS PROFIT – REALISED 2010 VERSUS REALISED

H1 2009 gross profit 4,574

Growth -74
H1 2010 gross profit 4,585

DSV recorded an increase of 3.1% for Q2 2010 relative to the same period of 2009.

OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS (EBITA)

The Group returned an operating profit before special items for H1 2010 of DKK 1,038 million compared with DKK 804 million for the corresponding period of last year. This corresponds to a growth rate of 25.5% when adjusted for foreign currency translation differences and the acquisition and divestment of enterprises.

The EBITA margin was 5.1% for the first half-year of 2010 compared with 4.4% for the same period of 2009. EBITA as a percentage of gross profit was 22.6% as against 17.6% for the same period of 2009.

Both EBITA margin and EBITA as a percentage of gross profit increased, mainly as a result of the synergies from the ABX transaction and the initiatives launched to reduce costs and streamline working procedures and the use of IT.

H1 OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS – REALISED

Growth 211
H1 2010 operating profit before special items 1,038

DSV recorded an increase of 26.3% for Q2 2010 relative to the same period of 2009.

When adjusted for amortisation of customer relationships of DKK 52 million and costs related to share-based payments of DKK 15 million, the Group's operating profit before special items came to DKK 1,105 million. The corresponding profit for H1 2009 amounted to DKK 867 million.

NET FINANCIAL EXPENSES

Financial expenses netted DKK 269 million for the period as against DKK 283 million for the same period of 2009.

PROFIT BEFORE TAX

Profit before tax came to DKK 769 million for the period as against DKK 197 million for the same period of 2009. The increase is mainly attributable to the circumstances that special items netted DKK 0 million, against a negative DKK 324 million for the same period last year, and that operating profit improved significantly.

EFFECTIVE TAX RATE

The effective tax rate was 26.4 for the first six months of 2010. The effective tax rate was influenced by a few nontaxable gains. Adjusted for these gains, the effective tax rate was approx. 28.

The effective tax rate was 74.1 for the corresponding period of 2009. It was to a large extent affected by loss-making entities in which loss carryforwards had not been capitalised and entities having losses because of large non-deductible restructuring costs.

DILUTED ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted adjusted earnings per share were DKK 2.9 for the first six months of 2010, which is 61% higher than for the same period last year when diluted adjusted earnings per share came to DKK 1.8.

The calculated diluted adjusted earnings per share for the past 12 months were DKK 5.1, which is higher than for the preceding year when the corresponding financial ratio came to DKK 4.8.

BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet stood at DKK 23,757 million at 30 June 2010 as against DKK 22,180 million at 31 December 2009.

EQUITY

At 30 June 2010, Group equity came to DKK 6,003 million. At 31 December 2009, Group equity came to DKK 5,530 million.

The main reasons for this development were the net profit for the period and the purchase and sale of treasury shares.

Equity at 30 June 5,405 6,003

The solvency ratio exclusive of minority interests came to 25.1%. This is an increase compared with 31 December 2009, when the corresponding ratio was 24.8%.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

The Group's funds tied up in net working capital came to DKK 419 million at 30 June 2010 compared with DKK 135 million at 31 December 2009. Net working capital increased mainly for the Air & Sea Division. Relative to the other business areas of the Group, the Air & Sea Division has the largest proportion of funds tied up, and this Division also recorded the highest increase in revenue.

The Group's funds tied up in net working capital came to DKK 149 million at 30 June 2009.

NET INTEREST-BEARING DEBT

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 6,817 million at 30 June 2010 as against a corresponding level of DKK 6,890 million at 31 December 2009.

CASH FLOWS

A condensed statement of all cash flows of the Group in H1 2010, compared with the figures of H1 2009, is provided below:

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow from operating activities came to DKK 370 million for the period as against DKK 1,047 million for the same period of 2009. The main reason was the development in net working capital, which saw a substantial reduction for the same period last year whereas net working capital increased for H1 2010.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The cash flow from investing activities netted an inflow of DKK 14 million.

ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW

Free cash flow for the period adjusted for the acquisition and divestment of enterprises amounted to DKK 416 million.

INVESTED CAPITAL INCLUDING GOODWILL AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

The Group's invested capital including goodwill and customer relationships came to DKK 13,368 million at 30 June 2010 as against DKK 12,851 million at 30 June 2009. The main reason for the increase was that more funds were tied up in net working capital.

ROIC INCLUDING GOODWILL AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

Return on invested capital including goodwill and customer relationships was 15.8% for the six-month period ended 30 June 2010 compared with 14.9% for the corresponding period of 2009. The reason for the increase was the improved results.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

No material events have occurred after the reporting date.

RISKS AND EXPOSURES

As disclosed in the 2009 Annual Report, the risks of the Group relate to its exposure to the development in the world economy and in the markets in which the Group operates. Other major operational risks include the risk exposure resulting from the use of IT.

OUTLOOK FOR 2010

As a consequence of the increase in activity levels and freight rates, DSV adjusts the outlook for 2010 disclosed in the 2009 Annual Report and the Q1 2010 Interim Financial Report.

Revenue

Revenue is expected to be in the range of DKK 41,000- 43,000 million, corresponding to an increase of approx. 14- 19% relative to the revenue achieved in 2009, as opposed to the increase of 3-7% as previously announced.

Gross profit

Gross profit is expected to be in the range of DKK 9,200- 9,400 million.

Operating profit before special items

Operating profit before special items (EBITA) is expected to be in the range of DKK 2,000-2,200 million as opposed to the range of DKK 1,900-2,100 million previously announced.

Special items, net

The outlook for special items, net, remains unchanged, and special items are still not expected to any appreciable extent.

Financial items, net

Financial items are expected to remain unchanged around DKK 500 million.

Tax rate

The effective tax rate of DSV is expected to amount to approx. 28% (previously 30%) and to remain at this level for the coming periods. The reason for the change is that previous loss-making entities in which loss carryforwards were not capitalised now generate profits. This development is expected to continue.

Cash flows

Free cash flow adjusted for the acquisition of enterprises is maintained at around DKK 1,200 million.

Capital structure

DSV still expects to be able to meet the target of a net interest-bearing debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.5-2.5 during the last six months of 2010. The capital structure of DSV is assessed on an ongoing basis according to the priorities stated in the 2009 Annual Report.

ROIC was 19.2%. The calculation of ROIC included DKK 2,869 million relating to goodwill and customer relationships. The item consists of the Division's goodwill, customer relationships and goodwill allocated from DSV. Number of employees: 9,823.

ACTIVITIES

The Road Division handles transport of full loads, part loads and groupage all over Europe. The transport services are mainly provided within DSV's own network of 34 Road countries in Europe. The actual transport operations have been outsourced to sub-contractors to a predominant extent.

Road freight volumes (shipments) rose by 12% in H1 2010 compared with the same period last year. The market in general is estimated to have increased by approx. 5-7%, which means that the Road Division recorded higher growth compared with the rest of the market when measured by number of shipments.

REVENUE

The revenue of the Road Division for the first six months of 2010 increased by approx. 3% compared with the same period last year. The increase is a result of an increase in the number of shipments, lower prices and a change in the mix of large and small shipments.

GROSS PROFIT

The gross margin of the Road Division came to 20.2% for the first half-year of 2010 as against 21.2% for the same period last year.

OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS (EBITA)

The operating profit before special items achieved by the Road Division for the six-month period ended 30 June 2010 was DKK 93 million higher than for the same period last year. The EBITA margin of the Division for H1 was 3.8% as against 3.0% for the same period last year. The increase is mainly attributable to synergies realised by the integration of ABX, with Germany and Spain in particular, but also Switzerland, Belgium and Great Britain, contributing to improved earnings. The Nordic countries were slightly below the results achieved for the same period last year, but saw an improvement in the second quarter of 2010.

EBITA as a percentage of gross profit came to 18.8% for H1 2010 as against 14.0% for the corresponding period of 2009. The increase is attributable to the integration of ABX and efficiency improvements as a result of IT systems improvements and other initiatives.

BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet of the Road Division stood at DKK 11,805 million at 30 June 2010 as against DKK 11,242 million at 31 December 2009.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

The Road Division's funds tied up in net working capital came to a negative DKK 216 million at 30 June 2010 compared with a negative DKK 248 million at 31 December 2009.

THE DIVISION IN BRIEF

The first six months of 2010 were generally characterised by a high activity level measured by number of shipments as well as freight volume. The high activity level resulted in a lack of capacity in several countries which in return led to increases in the prices charged by the Division's subcontractors. It has therefore been necessary to raise prices for customers to a certain extent.

The Division continues the high focus on maintaining the required gross margin level, particularly in view of the currently turbulent markets with rapidly changing conditions.

The Division expects activities to continue at the same high level in Q3 2010. This development is expected to rub off on the transport market which will make it possible to raise freight rates in areas where the prices have not yet been adjusted.

Production and administration costs have been adjusted to a stable level. Working procedures have been optimised in several countries by the development and use of IT tools and other means that make it possible to handle more shipments with the same number of employees.

In particular Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Great Britain made stable contributions to the total results of the Division for the second quarter of 2010. Belgium, Poland and Switzerland also show promising trends.

The positive trends for Germany continue and stabilised in the second quarter, this country thereby contributing with positive results for the Division. Due to the high focus on the operational activities, gross margin is approaching an acceptable level which makes it possible to run a profitable business. Moreover, the German company focuses on achieving an optimum cost structure and streamlining internal working procedures.

Spain contributed by recording positive results for the Division in the second quarter. The company focuses on increasing revenue and improving the gross margin with the objective of generating even higher profits in future. Important organisational changes were made so far in 2010, and the cost structure was also a focus area in this period. A solid foundation has now been created to support a positive development in future.

In France, the issues outstanding with the trade unions about a considerable staff reduction have been resolved. This means an improvement of the company's cost structure which will be visible in the final quarters of the year. The company realised high gross margins, and the future focus will be on generating higher revenue and improving efficiency by the use of IT tools, etc., to reduce overheads.

The Division aims at posting modest profits in 2010 for the above three important European countries compared with the huge losses for 2009.

In general, the Division has high focus on producing transport services in a more efficient manner. Among other means, this will be achieved by the continued development and implementation of the necessary IT tools. A major element of this is to continue the integration and streamlining of IT systems and the trimming of costs of the organisation. These initiatives are expected to facilitate more efficient use of the resources of the Division, thereby improving the overall productivity.

ROIC was 17.6%. The calculation of ROIC included DKK 4,603 million relating to goodwill and customer relationships. The item consists of the Division's goodwill, customer relationships and goodwill allocated from DSV.

Number of employees: 5,731.

ACTIVITIES

The Division is specialised in global transportation of cargo by air and sea. The main focus of the Division is transportation between the Far East, Europe and the Americas. The Division is non-asset based. In addition to conventional freight services, the Division has also specialised in heavy-lift and out-of-gauge cargo, also referred to as the 'Project Department'.

Seafreight volumes (TEUs) rose by 22% in H1 2010 compared with the same period last year, while the rest of the market in general is estimated to have increased by approx. 15-18%.

Airfreight volumes (tonnes) rose by 35% in H1 2010 compared with the same period last year, while the rest of the market in general is estimated to have increased by approx. 22-27%.

REVENUE

The revenue of the Air & Sea Division for the first half-year of 2010 increased by approx. 34% compared with the same period last year. Revenue was affected by a considerably higher level of activity than last year and higher freight rates. Particularly Italy, Germany, China, Other Far East and Central Europe returned higher revenue compared with the year before.

Division revenue for H1 2010 breaks down into 57% seafreight and 43% airfreight. This corresponds to the breakdown for the same period last year.

GROSS PROFIT

The gross margin of the Air & Sea Division came to 20.0% for the first six months of 2010 as against 25.9% for the corresponding period of 2009. The main reason for the lower gross margin was higher freight rates. Gross profit

improved in the second quarter of 2010 when measured in monetary terms, the gross profit realised by the Division for H1 2010 thus being higher than the gross profit realised for the same period of 2009. Gross profit mainly improved for the airfreight activities in Q2 2010.

The gross profit of the Division breaks down into 54% seafreight and 46% airfreight. For the same period of 2009, the breakdown was 61% seafreight and 39% airfreight.

OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS (EBITA)

Operating profit before special items was DKK 112 million higher than for H1 2009. The EBITA margin of the Division for H1 2010 was 6.0% as against 6.4% for the same period last year. The main reason for the reduction is the lower gross margin.

Spain and Germany in particular saw higher EBITA margins compared with last year. China, Hong Kong, the USA and the Project Department maintained high EBITA margins.

France, Sweden, Turkey, Finland and Denmark should improve their EBITA margins to that of the average level of the Division.

EBITA as a percentage of gross profit came to 30.2% for H1 2010 as against 24.8% for the corresponding period of 2009. The increase is attributable to the integration of ABX and efficiency improvements as a result of IT systems improvements and other initiatives.

BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet of the Air & Sea Division stood at DKK 13,139 million at 30 June 2010 as against DKK 12,014 million at 31 December 2009. The increase is due to more funds tied up in net working capital.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

The Air & Sea Division's funds tied up in net working capital came to DKK 779 million at 30 June 2010 compared with DKK 535 million at 31 December 2009. The increase is mainly due to the increased activity level, higher freight rates and the circumstance that activity increased particularly in countries where customers traditionally have long payment terms.

THE DIVISION IN BRIEF

The positive development with increasing trade volumes on all the major air- and seafreight routes in the first quarter of 2010 continued in the second quarter.

Seafreight activity stabilised on the routes between Asia and Europe, whereas activity on the transatlantic and trans-Pacific routes continued to increase. Ensuring the availability of requisite capacity on the trans-Pacific routes is still a challenge which has led to increasing freight rates.

More capacity is being injected into the market on an ongoing basis, but capacity has not yet reached a level high enough to satisfy the current need. The expansion of capacity is still offset by the fact that shipping companies sail at lower speed to reduce fuel costs.

The general freight rates increased on the transatlantic and trans-Pacific routes in the second quarter of 2010, and, additionally, seasonal charges have been added to the trans-Pacific rates.

The market development is expected to be more stable by the end of 2010 as a result of the ongoing expansion of capacity on the trans-Pacific routes, but the lack of capacity is still expected to impact on activity levels in Q3 2010.

There is a growing understanding among customers that increased freight rates are unavoidable.

The airfreight market is affected by the same trends as the seafreight market. Accordingly, the airfreight segment was affected by increasing activity levels and freight rates as well as a shortage of capacity in the first six months of 2010.

ROIC was 9.0%. The calculation of ROIC included DKK 1,467 million relating to goodwill and customer relationships. The item consists of the Division's goodwill, customer relationships and goodwill allocated from DSV. Number of employees: 5,288.

ACTIVITIES The main activity of the Solutions Division is the provision of comprehensive logistics solutions, including outsourcing of stocks, distribution and a number of services related to customers' supply chains. These services are mainly aimed at large industrial companies within branded products. The business areas of the Division also include distribution and cross-docking.

Sales volumes of the Solutions Division (order lines) rose by approx. 9% in H1 2010 compared with the same period last year, while the rest of the market in general is estimated to have increased by approx. 4-6%.

REVENUE

Division revenue for the first half-year of 2010 rose by approx. 1% compared with the same period last year.

GROSS PROFIT

The gross margin of the Solutions Division came to 29.8% for the first six months of 2010 as against 31.0% for the same period last year.

OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS (EBITA)

Operating profit before special items came to DKK 124 million for the period under review, an increase of DKK 13 million on H1 2009. The EBITA margin of the Division for H1 was 5.1% as against 4.6% for the same period last

year. Results were positively influenced by the sale of properties in Finland. Particularly the Benelux countries, Italy and Sweden did well in this period.

EBITA as a percentage of gross profit came to 17.1% for H1 2010 as against 14.9% for the corresponding period of 2009.

BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet of the Solutions Division stood at DKK 4,581 million at 30 June 2010 as against DKK 4.571 million at 31 December 2009.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

The Solutions Division's funds tied up in net working capital came to DKK 200 million at 30 June 2010 compared with DKK 62 million at 31 December 2009. The increase was mainly caused by more funds tied up in trade receivables and by the settlement of liabilities relating to trade payables.

THE DIVISION IN BRIEF

The Solutions Division saw an increasing activity level in the second quarter of 2010, all business segments of the Division showing positive development. H1 revenue was higher than the revenue recorded for the same period last year.

The market is still affected by intensified price competition and a large supply of storage facilities. Due to these conditions, the Division recorded a small drop in gross profit for the period relative to the outlook for 2010.

As a consequence of the continued focus on process optimisation, EBITA for the period was above last year's level. Improvements were mainly visible in the Swedish and Belgian markets, particularly the automotive industry in the Belgian market showing positive results.

Even though the earnings level still needs to be improved, the Division management is satisfied with the results for the first six months of 2010.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Interim Financial Report has been presented in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and additional Danish annual reporting requirements for listed companies.

DSV A/S has implemented IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' and IAS 27 'Consolidation and Separate Financial Statements' with effect from 1 January 2010.

IFRS 3 has given rise to the following changes in the Group's procedures for calculating the consideration for enterprises acquired:

  • Transaction costs attributable to business combinations will be recognised in the income statement when incurred. Such expenses were previously included in cost of acquisition.
  • Contingent consideration, such as payments under earnout agreements, will be recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition, and any subsequent value adjustments will be recognised in the income statement. Changes in contingent consideration were previously recognised in cost of acquisition.
  • In step acquisitions, the purchase price will be allocated when DSV A/S gains control. Accordingly, previous equity investments will be measured at fair value at the date of change in control, and any adjustment relative to the carrying amount will be recognised in the income statement. Goodwill was previously measured in connection with each acquisition, and the value adjustment was recognised directly in equity.

IFRS 3 has also given rise to a change in the measurement of goodwill. It is now possible to choose full recognition of goodwill even though the proportionate share of the enterprise acquired is less than 100%. Previously, only goodwill for the proportionate share of the enterprise acquired was recognised.

The most important change to IAS 27 relates to transactions with minority interests. Any acquisition and sale of minority interests not leading to loss of control will be recognised directly in equity. In connection with the sale of investments in subsidiaries resulting in loss of control, any gain or loss will be recognised in the income statement. At the same time, any remaining equity investments in any such enterprise which is no longer controlled will be remeasured at fair value, and any value adjustments will be recognised in the income statement.

The changes in accounting policies did not influence the financial reporting for this period or previous accounting periods.

DSV has made ongoing adjustments to statement of revenue and results for the three Divisions since the acquisition of ABX. That process was completed in connection with the preparation of the Interim Financial Report for Q1 2010. Segment information has been measured based on DSV's internal management reporting. Comparative figures for H1 2009 have been restated.

MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT

The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have today considered and adopted the Interim Financial Report of DSV A/S for the six-month period ended 30 June 2010.

The Interim Financial Report, which has not been audited or reviewed by the Company auditor, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim financial reports of listed companies.

In our opinion, the Interim Financial Report gives a true and fair view of the Group's assets, equity, liabilities and financial position at 30 June 2010 and of the results of the Group's activities and the cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June 2010.

We also find that the Management's review provides a fair statement of developments in the activities and financial situation of the Group, financial results for the period, the general financial position of the Group and a description of the major risks and elements of uncertainty faced by the Group.
