The three-month revenues of EUR 274.4m were only slightly below the previous year (EUR 278.5m) as the sale of the press logistics in the first quarter of 2015 was almost compensated by a significant revenue growth in the Air + Ocean business segment. The operating result (EBITA) increased to EUR 10.3m in the first three month of the 2015 financial year (2014: EUR 8.0m). The Air + Ocean business segment kept its pleasing volume growth of the previous periods in the ocean freight and achieved revenues of EUR172.2m (2014: EUR 151.3m). In addition, currency effects contributed significantly to the business segment's increase in revenues. Air + Ocean outperformed the previous year's EBITA in the first quarter with EUR 7.9m significantly (2014: EUR 6.4m) and increased its operating margin to very pleasing 4.6% (2014: 4.2%). To expand the activities in South America, the minority interests in the Chilean subsidiary have been acquired. In the Solutions business segment, the sale of the press logistics contributed to a further focus on sustainable and profitable businesses. At the same time, larger projects have been developed for existing customers such as the construction of a new logistics center in Mönchengladbach. In the first quarter, the revenues of the business segment Solutions of EUR 101.8m were below the previous year's revenues of EUR 127.7m, mainly as a result of the sale. After a stable performance in the first three months of 2015 the operating result of the business segment amounted to EUR 4.1m (2014: EUR 3.2m).
