Geodis sees record performance in first half of 2021 with €4.8 billion in revenue

The amount of operating cash flow has enabled the company to finance acquisitions while reducing net financial debt, compared to June 2020 (-€123 million).

The growth in profits was driven by increasing e-commerce activities across the United States and Europe. The share of e-commerce activities has continued to grow, posting double-digit growth, and now accounts for more than €2 billion of the company’s €8.4 billion in sales. The health crisis has amplified a trend that now seems to be sustainable and has an impact mainly on two business lines of the company; last mile delivery, and contract logistics.

Geodis has recently made several acquisitions, including Gandon Transports, CondiServices, Velocity Freight Transport, and others.

Marie-Christine Lombard, Chairman of GEODIS’ Executive Board said:“In a still uncertain economic environment, GEODIS has confirmed its ability to generate profitable growth, with a revenue up 21% and EBITDA up 60%. These solid results support our ability to invest in growth while investing in the ecological transition of all our activities.
