CEVA Logistics has reduced losses in 2015 to $195 million from $413 million in 2014 despite revenue falling below $7 billion.
Total revenue fell by 10.3 per cent from $7.7 billion in 2014 to $6.9 billion in 2015. Freight management revenue fell from $3.6 billion in 2014 to $3.3 billion in 2015, while contract logistics was down from $4.2 billion to $3.6 billion in 2015. CEVA says freight management revenue fell due to exchange rate effects but business wins improved results.
CEVA chief executive officer, Xavier Urbain says: “CEVA’s 2015 year-end performance is the latest in a series of strong quarters for our company. We see that the execution of our new strategy, launched in 2015, is delivering tangible results despite the volatile year-end economic environment and short peak season.”

Automotive made up 25 per cent of revenue, followed by consumer and retail at 24 per cent.
