Global Transport & Logistics Financial Analysis 2013, the fourth report in this unique series, examines the financial structure and performance of the world's largest freight transport and logistics companies through a range of financial ratios.

The global economy has struggled to recover to pre-recession levels and, since 2011, logistics providers have been reporting a slowdown in revenue growth and profitability. Ti's new report extracts a quarter-by-quarter breakdown of the top logistics providers' financial results from 2007 to 2012.

The report sheds light on the companies that have been able to adapt and excel in the current economic climate and exposes those who have equally struggled to do so.

With such an extensive scope of data, insightful commentary and richly detailed graphs, this report is essential reading for all C-level executives.

What makes this report such a valuable resource?

Global Transport & Logistics Financial Analysis 2013 provides an unrivalled examination of the logistics industry.

The report undertakes a holistic approach to the financial data available for the leading logistics providers from the past six years, assessing their performance both pre- and post-recession, quarter-by-quarter. Who has struggled in the new economic environment and who has flourished? This report answers these questions and provides many additional insights.

The report is an essential tool for senior managers seeking to understand how their company is performing against their competitors through a variety of financial benchmarks.

It is also an ideal resource for banks & consultancies with interests in the logistics sector.
