Details on the European data requested:
- In the following questionnaire we would ask you to fill in your total consolidated logistics revenues as well as tonnage and shipment data for the respective years. Please exclude revenues of non-logistical businesses here (e.g. automobile trade, trade businesses, earnings of other corporate business units). In line 15 we ask for your “total corporate revenues” which also comprises non-logistical revenues. Cash flows from tax, customs clearance, cash on delivery, etc. should not be considered as revenues.
Moreover, we ask you to supply your market segment revenues for Europe. Revenues of the 14 market segments (lines 1-14) should sum up to your European logistics revenue in 2016in line 0(sum of lines 1-14 for Europe = logistics revenue Europe in line 0).If the revenue figures for the market segments specified in lines 1 to 14 are not available, estimations are appreciated. Revenues of small segments (approx. < € 5m) may be disregarded and added to larger segments. - We would be very grateful if you could also tell us the allocation of your European logistics revenues to different industrial branches (Automotive, Chemical, FMCG, Machinery, Electronics, Construction, Metals, Others). Please fill in the cells on the right hand side of the table with the percentage share of each industry for the respective market segment (the nine values should sum up to 100 percent for each market segment).
- From line 16 to 17 we would like you to fill in broad figures about your logistics resources. Therefore rounded estimates are sufficient. Please fill in only those resources that your company uses itself (no subcontractors!).
- As last time, we would like to ask you for your expectations regarding the development of your own company and the whole European logistics market within the next two years. Therefore, please complete lines 18.1 and 18.2 (annual development in percent).
- Furthermore, we would like to consider the logistics revenues on a country-based level. Therefore, please fill in the table on the second page of the questionnaire (lines 19.1 to 19.44). If certain countries, in which your company generates logistics revenues, are not in the list, please add the countries and the respective turnover.
Many thanks for your support.
