Impressive growth in volumes across both Air Freight and Ocean Freight products with stable yields served as a catalyst for another strong performance in Expolanka’s Logistics sector. Rising retail demand in the United States and the resulting intensification of activity in the North American trade lane, enabled volume growth and an expanding customer base across multiple verticals.
Despite less vibrant activity, amid trade disruptions, business in European and Intra-Asian business also continued to demonstrate resilience. Notably, the European market also showed early signs of improvement.
As a result, Expolanka’s logistics sector was able to deliver 167% YoY growth in revenue, up to Rs. 94.9 billion. Additionally, gross profit expanded by 131% YoY up to Rs. 14.3 billion while PAT achieved a record breaking 240% growth up to 6.6 billion respectively.
Meanwhile, despite extended lockdowns and travel restrictions, the Group’s Leisure sector continued to deliver a stable performance, posting a turnover growth of Rs. 152 million - a reflection of the continued restructure and reorganization efforts focused on the long term.
The Group’s investment sector recorded a healthy 34% YoY increase up to Rs. 735 million, with the main contributor to growth arising from the Group’s export operation supported by a shift in portfolio towards niche product offerings. Similarly, the Group’s IT business also gained ground with moderate improvements in its contributions to the business.
