QEX Logistics - FY18 results ahead of initial targets

QEX was able to exceed all of its four key operating measures (KOM) targets for FY18, with sales turnover growing by 42% y-o-y and gross margin at 16.0% (vs initial target of 14.3%), assisted by solid demand for dairy products. The company’s recently launched Australian operations performed ahead of expectations, although local competitors have already reduced prices to strengthen customer retention. FY19 targets are likely to be revised upwards by 31 May, with the sales turnover target to exceed the FY18 figure by more than 10%, according to management.
