Jens Bjørn Andersen, CEO: "With earnings growth of more than 10%, we are very satisfied with our performance in the second quarter. DSV continues the positive development, and UTi's operating deficit has been neutralised only five months after the acquisition. The integration of UTi is progressing faster than we had originally anticipated, and the merger of offices and IT systems is already more than halfway complete. UTi's and DSV's employees and operations are being united step by step across the world, and it is great to see that our new colleagues are highly motivated to become part of the DSV culture — that is crucial for a successful integration."
The consolidated full-year outlook for 2016 previously announced is adjusted as follows:
- Operating profit before special items is expected to be in the range of DKK 3,300-3,500 million (previously DKK 3,100-3,500 million)
All other expectations for the full-year performance are unchanged.
