FURTHER ROBUST ORGANIC GROWTH

ID Logistics' consolidated revenues for 2013 totalled ?735.1 million, a sharp increase of 31.4% (18.5% like-for-like) compared with 2012. During the fourth quarter of 2013, consolidated revenues came to ?218.1 million, up 46.0% (18.3% like-for-like).

On a reported basis, the change in revenues reflects two main events:

  • The consolidation of CEPL into the financial statements since 1st July 2013;
  • An unfavourable currency effect of around 4% relating primarily to the Brazilian real and the Argentine peso.

In France, revenues came to ?417.6 million, up 8.8% compared with 2012 on a like-for-like basis. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Group generated revenues of ?123.1 million, up 9.8% compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. This strong growth is mainly due to continuing solid volumes and the start of new contracts during the fourth quarter of 2013.

In international markets, revenues stood at ?317.5 million, up 34.8% on a like-for-like basis. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Group generated revenues of ?95.0 million, up 32.8% compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. International revenues remained brisk, driven chiefly by growth in emerging markets, in particular Russia, Argentina, South Africa and Poland. Overall in 2013, international activities accounted for 43% of the Group's total revenues, including the consolidation of CEPL.

CONTINUING SOLID BUSINESS MOMENTUM

ID Logistics is continuing to enjoy solid business momentum with a high success rate for responses to tenders both in France and abroad. For example:

In France, in the fourth quarter of 2013:

  • Carrefour selected ID Logistics for its future site in Les Arcs (83), to serve all of its stores in the south-east of France
  • The Suntory Group (Orangina-Schweppes, Européenne d'embouteillage) selected ID Logistics to operate its platform in Chessy (45)
  • Lastly, Point P, via its specialist retailers CEDEO and BROSSETTE, selected ID Logistics to operate two platforms in Derval (35) and Satolas (69)

In international markets, ID Logistics achieved a number of business developments, in particular:

  • The extension in Brazil of its partnership with Privalia, already client in Spain
  • Qualification for a new platform in Russia for the MVideo Group
  • The opening of a platform for Auchan in Poland

OUTLOOK FOR 2014

The Group has entered 2014 with a positive outlook:

  • A portfolio of request for proposals similar to that seen in previous years in the various countries in which it operates;
  • The end of the operational integration of sites owned by CEPL, acquired in July 2013. This integration should allow the Group to seize opportunities to develop its activities in the detail picking sector both in France and abroad;
  • The renewal of current contracts. In this regard, the renewal on 1st January 2014 of its contractual commitment with a number of leading perfumery and cosmetics brands owned by the LVMH Group (Guerlain, Parfums Givenchy, Kenzo Parfums and Fendi) for a period of five years illustrates ID Logistics' expansion strategy of making the luxury goods, perfumery and cosmetics sector a key element in its growth.
