CONSOLIDATED (unaudited)
Number of shipments	182,448	202,249	-9.8%	-15.1%	-4.3%	-22.0%	-2.9%
Sales (€M) *	279.2	240.4	+16.1%	+8.6%	+13.2%	+22.4%	+13.2%
Gross profit (€m)	55.6	55.6	-0.1%	-6.4%	-0.1%	-1.9%	+1.9%

* 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. Changes in number of shipments, volumes shipped and—in terms of the Group's finances—gross profit are relevant indicators.

** LFL: at constant exchange rate and excluding Cargolution acquisition on 1 October 2019

With the exception of "trade fairs & exhibition activity" (CLASQUIN Fairs & Events), all of our business lines (Air, sea, RO/RO, etc.) posted growth in Q3 (compared to Q2), returning at the end of the period to an overall number of shipments close to that of 2019.

In sea freight, we secured new market shares against a backdrop of high rates (number of shipments up 6.4% and gross profit up 9.3%).

In air freight, after a 40.4% decline in Q2, business improved in Q3, without however reaching 2019 levels (down 18.0%) due to the contraction of the offering (long haul passenger flights still very limited) and the reorientation of shipments towards sea freight.

Despite a decline compared to Q2, freight rates remained high throughout Q3, resulting in an air freight gross profit close to the 2019 level.

*RO/RO (Roll on/Roll off: Combined road + sea transport (trailers or trucks loaded on ships)
