Orgon, 24 October 2019 – 5.45pm: ID Logistics (ISIN: FR0010929125, Ticker: IDL) one of the European leaders in contract logistics, is today reporting its revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019.
Eric Hémar, Chairman and CEO of ID Logistics, commented: "We recorded another strong revenue performance, picking up right where we left off in the previous quarters. Our international expansion, especially in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Romania and Russia, is currently driving the growth of our company. In line with our business model, our challenge now is to control the cost of these numerous start-ups and bring them to maturity quickly. These developments will gradually help us to become a leading service provider in each of these countries and put us in a position to deliver genuinely pan-European logistics solutions to our customers."

ID Logistics' organic growth continued at a sustained pace in the third quarter of 2019, with its revenues rising to €384.2 million – an increase of +8.0% or +9.7% on a like-for-like basis.
In France, ID Logistics recorded a third-quarter revenue increase of +1.9% to €180.0 million despite a high comparative figure (revenues up 9.1% in the third quarter of 2018). Growth was driven mainly by the new contracts that started up in 2018 and since the beginning of 2019.
International revenues continued to grow at a very brisk pace of +13.9% and +17.7% on a like-for-like basis, totalling €204.2 million over the quarter. The contribution from the new contracts that started up in 2018 and 2019 as well asfrom broadly positive price and volume effects offset the vast majority of the currency headwinds and the shutdown of activities in South Africa from September 2019. Performance in international markets was again chiefly driven by operations in Europe.
Overall, ID Logistics' revenues rose by +8.9% or +10.5% like-for-like to €1,128.7 million over the first nine months of 2019.
