Number of shipments* 114,681 107,865 + 6.3 % + 6.3 % + 12.7 %
Sales (€M) ** 145.7 134.4 + 8.4 % + 11.4 % + 5.8 %
Gross profit (€M) 34.9 33.0 + 5.6 % + 7.5 % + 7.7 %

*Excluding Gueppe-Clasquin, a subsidiary (70% ownership) specialised in road haulage, freighting and logistics.

**Note: Sales is not a relevant indicator for assessing activity in our business, because it is greatly impacted by changing sea and air freight rates, fuel surcharges, exchange rates (especially versus the \$), etc. Variations in the number of shipments, the volumes shipped and—in terms of the Group's finances—gross profit are relevant indicators.

Over the first 9 months of the year, the global sea freight market (containers) experienced growth of 2%.

The global air freight market remained stable.

The highly volatile sea freight rates along Asia-Europe routes experienced a sharp rise in July and August before falling again in September. Air freight rates for the same routes remained stable.

In this environment, the accelerated growth during Q3 in the number of shipments (+ 12.7%) and in gross profit (+ 7.7%) is linked to the group's ability to increase its market shares.
