TRADING UPDATE
Strong Group performance driven by Digital and eFulfilment
Wincanton plc, the largest British third-party logistics
company, today announces an update on its trading performance in
the period since its AGM Trading Update on 22 July 2020.
The Group has seen a continued improvement in profitability in
July and August, with a particularly strong performance in Digital
and eFulfilment.
The Digital and eFulfilment business is benefitting from an
increase in demand for online retail, with revenue significantly
ahead of pre-COVID-19 levels. Volumes in the two-person home
delivery business within this sector have remained high through the
summer months. Furthermore, operational efficiencies have led to an
improvement in operating margins in Digital and eFulfilment.
Performance across the rest of the Group is encouraging,
supported by changes to the cost base implemented earlier in the
year in the face of challenging external conditions.
The balance sheet remains healthy, with strong cash collection
and a robust working capital position.
Given the combination of Wincanton's improved trading
performance, cost intervention measures and the recovering economy,
the Board expects results for the current year to be materially
ahead of market expectations. This continues to assume no further
COVID-19 impact that severely affects the business.
