MARKET REVIEW

Q1 2019 growth in the worldwide sea freight market was estimated at 0%.

Meanwhile, the worldwide air freight volumes edged down around 2% (down 6-7% in Asia-Pacific).

Against this backdrop, Group sea freight volumes like for like held up well (TEUs volumes up 9.1% / number of shipments down 3.1%).

Air freight activities, particularly volumes, came under tougher pressure but nonetheless managed to post a 3.3% increase LFL in the number of shipments.

Roll on/roll off* activities at Group subsidiary LCI Clasquin surged 18.0% in number of shipments, boosted by buoyant business with North Africa, especially Morocco and Algeria.

In a flat worldwide market, the Group reported 2.6% growth LFL in number of shipments.

FINANCIAL PRESS RELEASE

Sea freight gross profit rose 3.6% LFL, driven by higher unit margins.

Air freight gross profit fell 3.4% LFL due to lower business volumes and a strong performance last year.

Roll on/roll off* gross profit leapt 26.8% fuelled by sharp growth thanks to new customers and higher unit margins.

The surge in "Other" activities gross profit was underpinned by logistics, customs and Fairs & Events operations.

* Roll on/roll off: transport of trucks and trailers by sea
