Orgon, 23 July 2020 – 5:45pm: ID Logistics (ISIN: FR0010929125, Ticker: IDL), one of the European leaders in contract logistics, announces today its sales for the second quarter 2020.
Eric Hémar, Chairman and CEO of ID Logistics, commented: "In a first half of 2020 marked by the health crisis linked to Covid-19, ID Logistics managed to maintain business growth and a good commercial performance. After a first quarter 2020 of strong sales growth, the second quarter illustrated the resilience of our business model. The diversification of our customer portfolio, the Group's balanced international footprint and the commitment of our teams enabled us to maintain stable revenues."

ID Logistics resisted the Covid-19 health crisis well during the second quarter of 2020: its customer portfolio, particularly in the food and e-commerce sectors, and its diversified geographical footprint enabled it to maintain stable sales in the past quarter at €384.1 million (-0.6% compared with 2019, -3.0% on a like-for-like basis).


This performance includes a generally unfavorable exchange rate effect, particularly in Latin America, and a change in the scope of consolidation due to the end of operations in South Africa in September 2019 and the consolidation in December 2019 of the Jagged Peak activities in the United States. Excluding these items, the decline in net sales was limited to 0.2% during the quarter.
The strong growth recorded in the first quarter of 2020, combined with the resilience of the second quarter of 2020, enabled ID Logistics to post sales growth of 4.3% (+2.0% on a like-for-like basis) to €776.6 million for the first six months of 2020. Over the period, the Group started up 10 new sites (3 in France and 7 internationally), in line with the initial business plan.
Despite the health crisis, the second quarter of 2020 was once again an opportunity for ID Logistics to pursue its commercial development by responding to several calls for tender. For example, the Group won or started up the following new contracts:
Thanks to a diversified customer portfolio (40% in food production and distribution and 20% in e-commerce) and a balanced geographical footprint, ID Logistics was able to maintain a good level of activity despite the health crisis. Moreover, ID Logistics has not experienced any significant delay in the start-up of new sites to date, and the objective remains to open around fifteen new sites over the year. Finally, the Group continues to receive numerous calls for tender, particularly in the e-commerce sector.
ID Logistics therefore intends to continue its development in the second half of 2020 while remaining fully focused on its fundamentals: operational management of its activities, sound cash management and external growth opportunities, particularly in Northern Europe and the United States. As the health situation remains unpredictable, the Group is not yet in a position to assess the impact of this crisis on its overall 2020 revenues.
