ID Logistics posted H1 2024 revenues of €1,518.6 million, up 18.7%.
This strong performance includes revenues from Spedimex, a company acquired in Poland and consolidated since June 1, 2023. Restated for this change in consolidation scope and globally favorable currency movements during the quarter, like-for-like growth was 14.3% versus H1 2023.
The reconciliation between reported and like-for-like revenue data is as follows:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 1,279.4 | +4.0% | +0.3% | +0.1% | +14.3% | 1,518.6 |
Revenues break down as follows:
| €m | H1 2024 | H1 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| France | 410.9 | 411.3 |
| Europe (excl. France) | 731.6 | 573.6 |

| Other | 131.8 | 113.3 |
| Total revenues | 1,518.6 | 1,279.4 |
First half 2024 highlights:
First half 2024 purchases and external charges amounted to €745.2 million, up from €622.0 million in first half 2023 and up from 48.6% to 49.1% as a percentage of revenues. This relative increase is mainly due to greater use of temporary staff and other subcontracting services in line with the increase in the number of new sites launched.
First half 2024 staff costs amounted to €531.5 million, up from €459.3 million in H1 2023. As a percentage of revenues, staff costs fell from 35.9% in H1 2023 to 35.0% in H1 2024. This relative decrease is mainly due to the relative increase in purchases and external charges mentioned above.
Miscellaneous taxes fell to 0.7% of revenues from 0.9% in 2023 under the impact of a more favorable geographical mix.
As in first half 2023, other income and expenses netted out close to zero for the first half of 2024.
Net provision write-backs mainly correspond to expenses recognized under purchases and external charges or staff costs.
As a result of the foregoing items, underlying EBITDA amounted to €234.6 million in first half 2024, up from €191.7 million in first half 2023. The strong increase in productivity under recently commenced contracts fueled a further improvement in the underlying EBITDA margin from 15.0% in H1 2023 to 15.4% in H1 2024.
Net depreciation/impairment came to €176.3 million in H1 2024 compared to €144.3 million in H1 2023. As a percentage of revenues, this item rose from 11.3% in H1 2023 to 11.6% due to the increase in operating capital expenditure over the last few years for operations that are becoming increasingly automated.
The table below shows the impact of these changes on EBIT margins before amortization of customer relations:
| €m | H1 2024 | H1 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| International | 42.5 | 31.3 |
| EBIT margin (% revenues) | 3.8% | 3.6% |
| France | 15.8 | 16.2 |
| EBIT margin (% revenues) | 3.8% | 3.9% |
| Total | 58.3 | 47.5 |
| EBIT margin (% revenues) | 3.8% | 3.7% |
First half 2024 EBIT before amortization of customer relations amounted to €58.3 million, generating an EBIT margin of 3.8%, up 10 bps compared to first half 2023:
As a reminder, ID Logistics' business is seasonal and the first half tends to be less profitable than the second.
Amortization of acquired customer relations increased by €1.1 million from €2.3 million in H1 2023 due to the consolidation of Spedimex.
The Group posted net financial expenses of €32.1 million for first half 2024, up from €21.6 million in first half 2023, consisting of:
net cost of debt (strictly speaking) amounting to €14.8 million, up from €12.0 million in H1 2023. The €2.8 million increase is mainly due to the increase in operating capex financing debt and the corresponding interest rates to finance the implementation of new contracts commenced since the end of 2023;
other financial items comprising a net expense of €17.3 million, up €7.7 million compared to H1 2023. These mainly included expenses related to IFRS 16 lease liabilities. The increase versus 2023 is mainly due to the increase in the cost of lease liabilities in terms of both interest rates and base, in line with the upswing in business.
Corporate income tax includes the French business value-added tax (CVAE) amounting to €0.8 million in H1 2024 and a similar charge in H1 2023. Excluding CVAE, the first half 2024 corporate income tax charge amounted to €4.8 million, implying a Group effective tax rate of 21%, down from the effective rate of 24% in 2023.
As in H1 2023, Group share of earnings of equity affiliates was just above break-even in H1 2024.
H1 2023 net income from discontinued operations corresponded to the write-back of the balance of provisions recognized in connection with the cessation of operations in Russia at the end of 2022.
As a result of the foregoing items, and after deduction of minority interests, first half 2024 net income, Group share amounted to €16.8 million, up from €16.2 million in the first half of 2023.

* see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in Chapter 3
First half 2024 net cash flow from operating activities amounted to a €186.4 million inflow, up from €178.9 million in H1 2023.
First half 2024 net cash flow used by investing activities amounted to a €57.3 million outflow, compared to a €53.8 million outflow in H1 2023. This breaks down as follows:
Total first half 2024 net cash flow from financing activities represented a €200.5 million outflow compared to a €115.9 million outflow in first half 2023.
After all of these factors and exchange gains and losses, Group net cash decreased by €70.8 million to €171.0 million during the first half of 2024.

Non-current assets rose €119.3 million compared to December 31, 2023:
The Group posted negative net working capital of €64.8 million as of June 30, 2024, representing 8 days sales compared to 16 days at December 31, 2023. In addition to seasonal factors, this decrease was due to the impact of the new contracts commenced in the first half of the year.
Group net borrowings break down as follows:
| €m | 6/30/2024 | 12/31/2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Syndicated loan | 400.0 | 445.0 |
| Other borrowings | 102.9 | 78.8 |
| Gross borrowings | 502.9 | 523.8 |
| Net cash and cash equivalents | 171.0 | 241.8 |
| Net borrowings | 331.9 | 282.0 |
The new syndicated loan is subject to the following covenant: as of June 30, 2024, net borrowings over underlying EBITDA must be less than 3.0, before application of IFRS 16 and on a consolidated basis. With a ratio of 1.7 at June 30, 2024, this covenant was in compliance.
Shareholders' equity, including net income for the period, amounted to €447.6 million, an increase over December 31, 2023.
Seasonal factors
Although Group revenues are not subject to major seasonal fluctuations, second half revenues tend to be slightly higher than first half revenues in view of the Group's customer typology and growth profile, and excluding the impact of major discontinued operations.
However, first half revenues tend to be more volatile in terms of volumes with larger swings between business peaks and lows than in the second half. This volatility is reflected in lower operational productivity, and first half EBIT is generally lower than in the second half.
On September 5, 2024, ID Logistics Group announced the successful placement of 375,000 new shares with domestic and international institutional investors. The new shares are issued through a capital increase without shareholders' preferential subscription rights via an accelerated bookbuilding at a price of €360 per share resulting in gross proceeds of €135 million. This amount represents 0.7x underlying consolidated EBITDA before IFRS 16 as of June 30, 2024, bringing down the ratio of net borrowings over underlying EBITDA before IFRS16 to 1.0x proforma the capital increase of September 5, 2024.
The Group's main risks as specified under Chapter 2 of the Universal Registration Document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers(French financial markets authority) on April 22, 2024 had not materially changed at June 30, 2024.
The comparative information in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows presented in this document has been restated to reflect the devaluation of the Argentine peso in December 2023. These restatements are described in Note 17.

The valuation methods specific to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:
• The interim period tax charge results from the estimated annual Group effective rate applied to pre-tax interim earnings excluding material non-recurring items. This estimated annual effective rate takes into consideration, in particular, the expected impact of tax planning transactions. The tax charge relating to any non-recurring items of the period is accrued using its specific applicable taxation;
• Stock-based compensation and staff benefit costs are recorded for the period in proportion to their estimated annual costs.
The application of standards, amendments and interpretations applicable from January 1, 2024 had no material impact on the Group financial statements.
There are no new standards, amendments or interpretations published but not yet compulsory that could have a material impact on the Group financial statements.

Pursuant to IFRS 8 – Operating segments, the information below for each operating segment is identical to that presented to the chief operational decision-maker for purposes of deciding on the allocation of resources to the segment and assessing its performance.
An operating segment is a distinct component of the Group:
The Group's chief operational decision-maker has been identified as the Chairman and CEO and the Deputy CEO, who jointly take strategic decisions.
The Group's two operating segments are France and International, determined in accordance with IFRS 8.
The France segment is made up of subsidiaries with head offices in continental France.
The International segment is made up of subsidiaries whose head offices are located outside continental France.
Fixed assets are operating assets used by a segment for operational purposes. They include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. They do not include current assets used for operational purposes, deferred tax assets/liabilities or non-current financial assets.

The net book value of goodwill, customer relations, other intangible assets and investments in equity affiliates is reviewed at least once a year and when events or circumstances indicate that a loss in value may have taken place. Such events or circumstances are related to material adverse changes of a permanent nature that impact either the economic environment or the assumptions or objectives adopted as of the date of acquisition. An impairment charge is recorded when the recoverable value of the assets tested falls permanently below their net book value.
As of June 30, 2024, the Group reviewed the impairment indicators that could lead to a reduction in the net book value of goodwill and investments in equity affiliates. Based on this approach, there is no need to record impairment charges as of June 30, 2024.
The final recognition of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of the Polish company Spedimex in May 2023, unchanged from December 31, 2023, was as follows:

"To the Shareholders,
Pursuant to our engagement by the shareholders' general meeting and Article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code, we have:
performed a limited review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of ID LOGISTICS GROUP covering the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024, as enclosed hereto, and
verified the information given in the half-year business report.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the responsibility of your Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express our opinion on these financial statements on the basis of our limited review.
We have conducted our limited review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited review consists primarily of making inquiries of the members of the management responsible for accounting and financial matters and applying analytical procedures. The work is of limited scope compared to the work required for an audit performed in accordance with auditing standards applicable in France. Accordingly, the assurance under a limited review that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, is moderate and less than that obtained under a full audit scope.
On the basis of our limited review, we did not identify any material misstatements that cause us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting, as included in the IFRS standards adopted by the European Union.
We have also verified the information provided in the half-year business report commenting on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on which we performed our limited review.
We have no comments on the report's fairness and its consistency with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
