1H25 | Key divisions are performing in line with company strategy and expectations

Import (Air and Sea)

  • Significant investment drove a 192% revenue uplift vs 1H24, powered by inbound eCommerce and large account wins

  • Asia-focused positioning and competitive edge positions Wiseway to capitalise on inbound import trends

Export Perishables (Air and Sea)

  • A delayed season for key commodities may shift some revenue to 2H25 rather than being booked in 1H25

  • • Wiseway continues strengthen market presence in perishables by winning new accounts

Export Air Freight (General Cargo)

  • Air freight faces downward pressure on rates amid a softer China market (over the last 6 months)

  • • Nevertheless, diversification into Southeast Asia is yielding new accounts and incremental volume growth

Export Sea Freight (General Cargo)

  • Similar to Air Freight, some downwards pressure on freight rates and a softer China market

  • • Some stability in the Sea Freight General Cargo market which has continued to diversify into new markets

  • • Export Sea is a priority sales area for Wiseway with several accounts in the pipeline

Road Freight

  • Wiseway’s Road Freight strategy is to focus on servicing its internal divisions, rather than competing directly for external business (where Wiseway will only service where it can offer competitive pricing to optimise internal loads)

Overseas

  • USA has seen a 9x increase in revenue which can be attributed to successful integration of KWT along with the Company capitalising on inbound China to United States import freight

  • Singapore continues to be stable and profitable while China has been converted into a support office
