UPS to cancel A380 order

Posted by | Mar 2, 2007 | |

UPS announced its intent to cancel later this year an order for 10 Airbus A380 freighters.

The final cancellation decision will be formally presented to Airbus on the first date specified under an agreement reached last week that gives either party the right to terminate the order.

Last week’s agreement specified a revised delivery schedule that delayed UPS’s first A380 jumbo freighter from 2010 to 2012. UPS originally expected its first freighter in 2009.

UPS had intended to complete an internal study of whether it could wait until 2012 for the aircraft, but now understands Airbus is diverting employees from the A380 freighter program to work on the passenger version of the plane.

Geodis – financial statements 2006

Posted by | Feb 27, 2007 | |

– Revenue up 5.3%
– Operating profit up 25%
– Attributable profit up 50%
– Dividend up 11%
– New ambitions for the period to 2009
The Board of Directors of Geodis, chaired by Pierre Blayau, met on 26 February to approve the 2006 financial statements.

(a) Adjusted in accordance with IAS 8
(b) Like-for-like growth (at constant exchange rates, based on a comparable scope of consolidation and income statement presentation): 4.6%

A robust performance in France combined with sustained growth in Germany, Eastern Europe and Asia fuelled a 5.3% increase in consolidated revenue in 2006. This was the third consecutive year of around 5% revenue growth.

Operating profit rose 24.6% to €106.4 million, representing 2.8% of revenue. Operating profit in France includes the reclassification in operating expense of the €2.0 million standard minimum corporate income tax, as well as the reimbursement of €7.9 million in VAT paid on motorway tolls in prior years.

The Europe region (excluding France) came close to break-even with an operating loss of just €0.5 million, reflecting the ongoing recovery in Italy where operating losses were limited to €3.6 million, and the improved situation in the United Kingdom.

Results in Spain were adversely affected by the problems encountered by the groupage network and by the €4.8 million in impairment charges recognized on intangible assets.
