Group Financial Performance Highlights
Othman Aljeda, Chief Executive Officer of Aramex, said: “The strength and resilience of the GCC economies contributed to the stability of our top line year to date in 2022. In line with our strategic objectives, our revenue mix is now more diversified both in terms of contributions from the different business segments and from a more diverse customer base. Our diversified customer base has further reduced concentration risk, with our top customer currently contributing 7% of the Group’s total revenue.
The Courier business remained resilient with a stable GP margin of 30%, supported by initiatives to improve operational efficiencies and the successful rollout of same-day deliveries and other premium services in the GCC. The Freight-Forwarding business continues to be our strong performer, registering double-digit growth in both the three-month and nine-month periods.
We remain cognizant of global macro activity, and believe that our dominant position in the GCC, a region which is enjoying economic expansion and relatively optimistic consumer sentiment, will continue to support our resilient performance.
Q4 2022 marks the first quarter that we are consolidating MyUS, a global technology-driven platform that enables cross-border e-commerce, into Aramex operations, and we look forward to unlocking further value over the long term through revenue and cost synergies.”
