ID Logistics confirmed the good commercial performance that began in the third quarter, with accelerated growth in the fourth quarter and sales of €454.1 million, up 12.0% compared to 2019 (+9.1% like-for-like).
Thanks to a diversified customer portfolio (40% in food production and distribution and 25% in e-commerce) and a balanced geographical footprint, ID Logistics posted revenue growth over almost the entire year, limiting the decline in activity in the second quarter to just -0.6%. The upturn in activity in the third quarter and then the acceleration in the fourth quarter enabled ID Logistics to achieve revenues of 1,642.8 million in 2020, up 7.1% (up 4.9% like-for-like).
Over this period, the Group started up 18 new sites (6 in France and 12 outside France), a number slightly higher than the initial plan. In Q4 2020 alone, the e-commerce business grew by more than 30% and now accounts for nearly 25% of ID Logistics' revenue.
Despite the health crisis context, the pace of calls for tender remains high, particularly in e-commerce, which accounts for nearly half of them. The 4th quarter of 2020 was thus once again an opportunity for ID Logistics to continue its commercial development, winning several contracts. For example, the Group won or started the following new contracts:
ID Logistics intends to continue its development over the current year, while remaining very cautious about the evolution of the health crisis linked to Covid-19. In this context, the Group's priorities remain focused on supporting its customers as closely as possible to their needs, protecting its employees and managing its cash flow. It also remains attentive to external growth opportunities, particularly in Northern Europe and the United States.
