DSV, 815 – 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Company Announcement No. 815“Q4 2019 was in line with our expectations and we can report EBIT of DKK 6,654 million for 2019, an 8.4% organic growth on 2018. 2019 was a strong year for our company – not least thanks to the acquisition of Panalpina in August 2019. A large part of our organisation is now working hard on the integration and things are progressing well. For 2020, we expect EBIT in the DKK 8,200-8,700 million range, and our shareholders can expect significant returns via share buybacks. It is difficult to predict the market situation in 2020; currently the corona virus situation is impacting global supply chains and creating uncertainty. However, at this stage it is not possible to predict the financial impact,” says Jens Bjørn Andersen, CEO.Selected financial highlights for 2019 (1 January – 31 December 2019)Q4 2019 results
