UPBEAT PERFORMANCE MAINTAINED IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2019
ID Logistics' organic growth continued into the second quarter of 2019, with its revenues totalling €386.4 million an increase of 9.4% or 10.4% on a like-for-like basis. All its markets contributed to this healthy performance, with trends in international markets even firmer than those in France.
In France, ID Logistics posted encouraging second-quarter revenues, up 3.1% to €181.3 million despite a challenging base of comparison in 2018. Growth was driven mainly by the new contracts that started up in 2018 and early 2019.
International revenuesaccelerated in the second quarter to €205.1 million, representing a growth rate of 15.5% and 17.7% on a like-for-like basis. The contribution from the new contracts that started up in 2018 and 2019 and from the broadly positive price and volume effects offset the vast majority of the currency headwinds. Performance in international markets was chiefly driven by Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia.
ID Logistics' first-half 2019 revenues surged to €744.5 million, up 9.4% or up 10.9% at constant exchange rates, with 4 new facilities opening in France and 5 in international markets.
NEW CONTRACTS
During the second quarter of 2019, ID Logistics successfully pursued the expansion of its business, responding to various competitive tenders. For example, the Group won or started up the following new contracts:
- In France, Roquette, a world leader in plant-based ingredients for food, nutrition and health markets, decided to entrust ID Logistics with the management of a 90,000 sq. m. facility at the port of Santes (Nord department). This new organisation will be combined with the introduction of deliveries by barge from the manufacturing plant.
- Distribution Chauffage Sanitaire (DSC), a Saint Gobain subsidiary, has continued to place its trust in ID Logistics, handing it responsibility for a fourth regional distribution centre in France. After running operations at the Brie (Seine-et-Marne), Satolas (Isère) and Derval (Ille-et-Vilaine) facilities, ID Logistics has since 1 January 2019 supported DSC at Plaisance-du-Touch (Haute Garonne) close to Toulouse serving the Grand Ouest region of southwestern France as part of its business expansion. Operations take place at a 24,000 sq. m. facility, which has a workforce of around 100 employees.
- In Brazil, ID Logistics has established a new partnership with Arcor, one of South America's leading chocolate, cookie and confectionery manufacturers. Its new distribution hub is located at Extrema in the state of Minas Gerais. The new facility occupies 12,000 sq. m., with storage areas and a temperature-controlled cold room. The operations were set up in record time ahead of a start-up date in July.
- In Argentina, ID Logistics is extending its partnership with Dia, the leading discount retailer in South America and Spain. The ID Logistics warehouse recently added non-food categories, increasing its flows to 860,000 boxes per month of 1,600 new SKUs supplying 1,000 stores.
