Feb 27 (Reuters) – Kuehne und Nagel International reported a 7.5% increase in full-year core earnings on Thursday, as strength in its sea freight, overland and contract logistics divisions offset a drastic drop in demand for air freight.
The Swiss freight-forwarding group’s earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) came in at 1.06 billion Swiss francs ($1.09 billion), slightly above the estimate of 1.05 billion francs in a company-compiled consensus.
