91.5 per cent loaded ratio with FTL specialist Waberer’s

Waberer’s turnover exceeded EUR 261 million in the first six months of 2015, which is 8 per cent higher than the performance of the same period in 2014. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was EUR 37.6 million in the first half of 2015, surpassing the figure for the first half of 2014 by 15.3 per cent.
This result could be reached due to Waberer’s ongoing focus on efficiency and operational optimization and despite the increasing competition on the international freight market and new laws and regulations enacted in Europe which implicate certain restrictions with regard to international freight operators. There were improvements in substantially all performance and efficiency indicators:
