Trading Update Q3 FY20: 1 January – 31 March 2020
Wiseway Group Limited ( Wiseway ), the number one freight logistics operator from Australia to China, provided a trading update today for the three months ended 31 March 2020 ( Q3 FY20 ).
Highlights
-
Sales revenue (unaudited) of $25.1 million, an increase of $3.7 million or 17 per cent on the previous corresponding period, supported by growth in new business divisions including perishables.
-
Higher freight volumes of 19,127 tonnes, up by 10 per cent largely from stronger sea freight.
-
Major new Australian customer wins due to the business maintaining its freight capacity in a tightening market.
As an essential service provider during the Covid-19 pandemic, Wiseway has continued to operate its import and export services between Australia and China.
Mr Roger Tong, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have seen demand for Wiseway’s services grow in this period and we have been able to leverage the scale and flexibility of our global logistics platform to meet increased demand.
“In particular we have seen strong growth in business from new customers for our perishables freight offering from a number of large Australian exporters. As a result, we reached a milestone of two million kilograms of freight forwarded in our new perishables business this quarter.
“We are proud that as an organisation we are able to continue to provide this essential service and support international trade at a time when it is most needed.”
Outlook
Revenue for the financial year to date was higher, $69.8 million, up 2 per cent on the previous corresponding period.
Currently, demand for logistics services remains high. However, due to the unprecedented nature of this global pandemic, this may vary as the situation develops over time.
The breadth and depth of our diversified logistics services, our highly experienced management team, and the risk management plans we have put in place, position Wiseway to actively manage its operations and maximise its outcomes in the prevailing operating environment.
The Board and Management of Wiseway are focused on supporting our employees, customers, broader community and international trade during these anxious and difficult times. Wiseway will continue to update the market as and when necessary.
