ABOUT GLOBALTRANS
Globaltrans Investment PLC (“Company”, together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Globaltrans” or the “Group”) is a leading freight rail transportation group with subsidiary operations across Russia, the CIS and the Baltic countries.
The Company was founded in 2004 by a group of entrepreneurs who combined their freight rail businesses under the single brand Globaltrans. These founders remain key shareholders of the Group.
Throughout its years of operation, the Company has pursued a prudent approach to investment, expanding its fleet both by means of organic growth and through the acquisition of other rail operators. Globaltrans’ total fleet is currently almost three times larger than it was at the time of the Company’s IPO in 2008.
The Group’s dividend policy establishes a transparent and straightforward approach to the payment of dividends and is supported by a long history of delivering attractive shareholder remuneration.
Globaltrans global depositary receipts have been traded on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: GLTR) since May 2008 and on the Level One quotation list of the Moscow Exchange since October 2020 (ticker symbol: GLTR).
Due to its vast logistics capabilities, the Group is able to efficiently manage industrial cargo flows, transporting metallurgical cargoes, oil products and oil, coal, construction materials and petrochemicals.
Globaltrans has a total fleet of over 72 thousand units[1] as of 30 June 2020, of which about 94% are owned by the Company. The core of the fleet is universal gondola cars used for a broad range of bulk cargoes (63% of total fleet) and tank cars for transporting oil products and oil (29% of total fleet). In addition, the Group operates specialised containers and the flat cars to transport them. Globaltrans also manages its own fleet of mainline locomotives with 75 units that provide traction for its block trains.
Globaltrans serves a broad range of clients in Russia and the CIS including some of Russia’s leading companies. The Group’s key service contracts include agreements with six blue-chip Russian companies: Metalloinvest, MMK, TMK Group and the ChelPipe Group in the metallurgical segment, and Rosneft and Gazprom Neft in the oil products and oil segment. In total, these contracts contributed about 64% of the Group’s Net Revenue from Operation of Rolling Stock[2] in the first half of 2020. Globaltrans also works with the TAIF Group, UGMK-Trans, EVRAZ and other prominent companies.
The Group’s logistics management principally aims to provide reliable services, responding promptly and flexibly to customer needs, while achieving a good level of profitability for the business. The main component of the Group’s centralised logistics system is its single dispatching centre that monitors every aspect of Globaltrans’ fleet operation. By effectively managing shipments and routes, Globaltrans ensures high utilisation of its fleet and achieves maximum productivity and quality of service.
