Known trends af-
Market trends:
fecting the issuer
The following factors had and still have a significant impact on the growth of the
and the industries in logistics industry globally and more specifically on the African continent:
which it operates.
According to the latest International Monetary Fund ("IMF") survey, global econom-
ic growth will reach 3.5% in 2017, as compared to 3.2% in 2016 (IMF, World Eco-
nomic Outlook, July 2016; IMF, World Economic Outlook Update, July 2017). Ac-
cording to the IMF, the volume of global trade will increase by 4.0% in 2017 com-
pared to 2.3% in 2016. The transport and logistic market particularly in Africa is
currently being driven by disruptive global trends such as urbanization and a catch-up
pace for industrialization of the African economy. Africa is said to be the epicentre of
urbanization as the fastest urbanizing region in the decades to come with a projected
49% share of Africa's population being urban in 2035 (1990: one third) (source: UN
Economic Commission for Africa 2017, Urbanization and Industrialization for Afri-
ca's Transformation, Economic Report on Africa 2017).
Due to global trends such as globalization, urbanization and industrialization, Afri-
ca's transformation process and growth resilience is projected to maintain. According
to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"), in
2017 and 2018, Africa will benefit from commodity prices which started to rise in the
latter part of 2016, increasing private demand including in domestic markets, sound
macroeconomic policy management now entrenched in many countries, a generally
improving and favourable business environment, and a more diversified economic
structure, particularly towards the services sector and light manufacturing.
Recent business development:
Following its formation on 17 October 2017, R-LOGISTIC SAS (société par actions
simplifiée), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, having its registered office at 8
rue La Boétie 75008, Paris, France ("R-LOGISTIC"), has acquired several Afri-
can based entities of former competitor Necotrans Group by way of several adminis-
trative orders (Ordonnances) ruled by the French commercial court in Paris (Tribunal
de commerce de Paris). In addition, in November 2017, SML Southern & Mediterra-
nean Logistics, was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer in Austria
.
The combined R-LOGISTIC business is anticipated to provide operational synergies,
in particular in the areas of (i) network, (ii) personnel, (iii) administrative, (iv) termi-
nals, (v) inland and (vi) equipment. In addition to strategic and operational ad-
vantages, the Group also expects the integration of said combination of business to
lead to financial benefits for the Group. Despite the unpredictable global environ-
ment, the Group expects to realise further growth in 2018 and expects revenues to
increase to approximately EUR 100 120 million and expects earnings with an EBT
(earnings before taxes) of approximately EUR 15 million in 2018 as the R-
LOGISTIC activities will be included in the consolidated financial statements for the
financial year 2018. The other sources of growth are the further integration of the
2

activities and the realization of synergies within the Group. The Group's main strate-
gic goals for 2018 include an increase number of ports/terminals exceeding ten
ports/terminals, an increase of airport terminals of up to six as well as further growth
in the maintenance business of the Group's Technology division.
