CEO comments
2022 turned out as yet another record year for Jetpak with a total revenue of 1 253 147 TSEK and with an all-time high operating profit of 122 215 TSEK.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to 320 778 TSEK, equal to a growth of 16,5%.
The operating profit, as well as the adjusted EBITA, both amounted to 29 131 TSEK, corresponding to an operating margin of 9,1 %. The quarter's profit was affected by cost accruals for the long-term incentive program amounting to 6 918 (2 171) TSEK, something which affected the quarter's operating profit negatively by 2,2 percentage points.
The
Largest growth driver was
The segment's gross margin decreased due to the increasing revenue from large European customers with lower average margins.
Available air capacity remained a challenge due to the continued financial distress for many airlines, something which also were contributing to SAS' ongoing Chapter 11 process. This situation resulted into a higher volatility in terms of network and capacity changes, which continued to have some negative impact at specific customers flows, especially for the Swedish market.
The growth was mainly driven by larger Swedish B2B and B2C accounts with demand for both systematic and ad-hoc services. Also
Market growth continued steadily for both segments during the quarter, even though our
Competition within our
Sustainability work within the framework of the UN's Global Compact Program became during the quarter an even more integrated part of our daily work and we have continuously during 2022 intensified our initiatives within CSR/ESG. Our focus has been on supply chain optimization based on enhanced capacity utilization as well as CO2 reducing activities with consumption of HVO fuel and projects to increase the use of electric vehicles in densely populated areas.
Furthermore, drivers have been educated in environmentally friendly driving.
New technology is strongly linked to the logistic business' CO2 footprint and one such sector is the drone technology. Drone development is closely monitored by Jetpak, and we participate in early-stage tests, as drones likely will become a future integrated part of our "last mile delivery".
Jetpak has during the quarter conducted the annual employee survey with focus on motivation and leadership index. Despite challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges, ratings were above both expectations and industry average.
Customer satisfaction ratings also remained on a stable high level during 2022.
Merger & Acquisitions have in recent years added to our growth and provided synergies.
Our acquisition in
CTS Express in
We have been building an interesting M&A pipeline and we are currently in dialogue with a handful of selected prospects. We expect to enter into more specific negotiations when seller expectations mature - in line with the current macroeconomic situation and uncertainty.
During this autumn management and board reviewed our strategy and overall targets. It was decided to continue the current growth strategy based on organic growth in terms of new products and services plus geographic expansion of the current product portfolio - combined with M&A growth. Furthermore, we will have a continued strong focus on improving our cost efficiency -
in order to be well prepared for a more volatile economy during coming quarters.
Our growth expectations for 2023 are moderate - based on uncertain macroeconomic external factors such as high inflation and high interest rates. Increasingly volatile air capacity and less favorable air schedules are also restraining growth, something which is a key discussion area with our largest linehaul providers right now.
The further development is carefully monitored, and contingency plans are in place to minimize any potential negative impact on our business.
Despite operational disruptions and macroeconomic challenges, we maintain our long-term targets for organic growth and to continuously improving our adjusted EBITA.
Based on our ambition of an M&A accelerated growth, the company's Board of Directors do not propose any dividend to the Annual General Meeting in
