**Sales is not a relevant indicator for assessing activity in our business, because it is greatly impacted by changing sea and air freight rates, fuel surcharges, exchange rates (especially versus the $), etc. Variations in the number of shipments, the volumes shipped and—in terms of the Group's finances—gross profit are relevant indicators
BUSINESS VOLUMES AND EARNINGS
Against a backdrop of recovery in global trade observed in H1 2017 on the sea freight (number of containers up c. 4%) and air freight (tonnage up c. 10%) markets, CLASQUIN, thanks to the acquisition of a number of new clients has once again proven its ability to outperform the market.
