Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

UTi net revenues increased 24% last year through acquisitions and organic growth. UTI’s contract logistics operations are now 35% of net revenues. UTi’s purchase of Standard Corporation is still the most successful contract logistics acquisition we have seen. UTi contract logistics has strong operations in Asia and a major drug distribution operation in South Africa. Airfreight forwarding, ocean forwarding and customs are the other major functions. UTi does very well in British Commonwealth countries. CEO, Roger MacFarlane, has been masterful at moving UTi forward rapidly using a tight core of executives.
