Russian rail volumes continue to grow

TransContainer’s (TRC) FY16 results announcement on 29 March was in line with Edison and market expectations. Russian rail freight volumes are growing by double-digit amounts and TRC continues to show its ability to exploit this growth trend. Our three-year EBITDA (company definition) CAGR of 12.7% is driven by continued economic recovery in Russia, higher rates of ‘containerisation’ and enhanced profitability as an increasing volume of freight is handled by TRC’s more profitable Integrated Freight Forwarding (IFF) business. TRC remains the only way to gain equity exposure to these underlying trends. The company’s Q1 operating update further bolsters the equity story with an increase of 22.4% in Russian rail freight market volumes.
