The companies of the Logistics segment once again made varying progress in the first quarter of 2018. The consolidated companies reported revenue of € 12.2 million, up 11.1 % on the prior-year figure (previous year: € 11.0 million). This was due in particular to a strong increase in volume in the vehicle logistics division. The operating result (EBIT) of the Logistics segment amounted to € 0.1 million in the period under review, compared to an operating loss of € 0.4 million in the previous year. This improvement resulted mainly from consultancy activities.
At-equity earnings declined by a total of 39.1 % to € 0.8 million in the first three months of 2018. Neither dry bulk handling nor fruit logistics were able to match their prior-year performance.
