Jens Bjørn Andersen, CEO: “The markets of DSV are still characterised by low growth and fierce competition. DSV is on the right track and is gaining market share in most markets, and we are making strong headway within sea freight in particular. The reported operating profit for Q3 is in line with last year and our cash flow also shows positive development. Under the circumstances we are satisfied with this performance, however it is obvious that DSV’s goal is to deliver earnings growth.”

DSV maintains its full-year outlook for 2013 previously announced.

With a view to achieving the Company’s financial gearing target by the end of 2013 no share buy-back programme will be launched in Q4 2013.
