Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:
|
UPS and DHL/Exel are the best known
U.S.
brand names. Revenues for contract warehousing were $1.5 billion in
2006. Freight forwarding net revenues were $4.2 billion. UPS SCS had
a break-even year in 2006. UPS SCS’ target is 8%, but it will take 2
to 3 more years. Management expects an EBITDA of 2–3% in 2007. In
the meantime, UPS SCS contributes $1 billion+ per year in package
business to its big brother. UPS handles 660,000 TEUs per year as a
freight forwarder. UPS Capital Freight and Consulting continue to be
important contributors.
