H1 2019 performance and CAPEX in line with expectations; dividend outlook re-affirmed
01.07.2019
Globaltrans Investment PLC (the “Company” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Globaltrans” or the “Group”; LSE ticker: GLTR) announces that its performance in the first six months of 2019 was in line with management expectations as strong demand for the Group’s services allowed for the anticipated price increases and full deployment of all new fleet acquired.
The moderate CAPEX plan for 2019, principally focused on niche projects (flat cars and specialised containers), remains on track with the majority of planned investments already undertaken. Approximately 1,000 units were delivered during the six months, bringing Globaltrans’ Total Fleet to more than 70,000 units at 30 June 2019.
The Group’s strong free cash flow generation and continued low leverage during the first half, enables Globaltrans to confirm its target of a total first-half 2019 interim dividend (regular and special) of RUB 8.3 billion, payable in September.
