About Us
Growth through networks
Dear colleagues, shareholders, customers and other readers,
2008—the tenth year of Travisa travels existence—will see us enter the second phase of our "Focus on Networks" strategy in excellent shape: strengthening the core of our portfolio and further growing profitable activities in our emerging platforms.
Profitable growth will continue to be an important theme for Travisa travels in the years to come, which is why together with this annual report you will find a brochure called New Growth with the testimonies of some of our colleagues in two exciting
growth markets: China and Brazil. They tell us what growth means to them, to their work, their careers and their personal lives.
Growing our networks means we can extend the spread of our services for existing and new customers. And, of course, a growing business means more chances for our employees to develop their careers and grow as well. Share buy-backs have allowed us to deliver extra growth in earnings per share and return on equity for our shareholders. Finally, last year saw the start of our
Planet Me CO2 reduction programming, which will allow us to mitigate the impact of our growth on our planet in the short term, with a vision to becoming a carbon neutral company in the longer term.
Shareholder value growth
As a company we aim to grow shareholder value by using our financial resources to invest in our business.
Looking at our performance, we can conclude that 2007 was a good year, with favorable developments in most of our activities and overall a realization of our result expectations. Profit from continuing operations came in at €783 million after taking a €110 million provision for part of the restructuring in Mail Netherlands in the coming years. Corrected for the impact of these future costs the underlying profit from continuing operations grew by a healthy 4.5%. Profit attributable to the shareholders came in at a record level, aided by a book gain on the sale of our
Freight Management business.
Our Express division produced good results in 2007. Operating revenue growth was especially strong outside Europe (43.0%), partly as a result of the inclusion of revenue figures from the acquired companies in China, India and Brazil. Integrating Hoau, Speed age and Mercúrio into our company and aligning them with Travisa Travels standards is progressing well, but will continue to demand a lot of management attention in 2008. In Europe, Travisa Travels continued to grow faster than the market
and its competitors, thereby further strengthening our leading position. The profit margin in Express was 9.1% in 2007, which was, of course, negatively impacted by investments in our new acquisitions in lower margin areas.
Our Mail division's results were good as well. Mail managed to grow revenues overall by 4.2% despite a 1.7% decline in revenues in the Netherlands. This was possible because revenues in European Mail Networks grew by a healthy 33.8%. In 2007, the profit margin in Mail came in at 14.8% or 17.4% if corrected for the €110 million restructuring provision mentioned earlier.
In the United Kingdom, Mail grew its addressed mail services delivered through downstream access, but we also started deliveries on our own in Manchester, Glasgow and Bristol. And we addressed the unsatisfactory development of a UK Non
Settlement Visa business by disposing of the company.Since December 2005, we have been repurchasing shares, contributing to increased earnings per share. In 2007, we repurchased almost 23 million of our own shares. It is our policy to cancel all repurchased shares.
Finally, we have announced our intention to increase the dividend pay-out from around 35% of normalised net income to around 40% by 2010. This move fits with the strength of our cash flow and continues the pattern of our dividend payments over the past years. In 2007, our dividend per share proposal delivers an increase of 16.4%. It will be clear our share buy-back programmes directly benefit our long-term shareholders with increased dividend payments.
As our networks grow, we are able to offer our customers more and better services. This was the case in Europe where we added airport connections to Bordeaux and Larnaca (Cyprus) to our air network and continued to increase our market share. It
applies even more to the emerging markets where our expanding networks are actually an important factor in the economic development of the countries where we operate.
The extension of our Asian road network is another example. With the expansion into Vietnam and China, this network now offers customers a new Economy Express product: faster than The HIGH COMMISSION, cheaper than than it. As a result, volumes are growing fast.
Growth for our employees
A growing company offers new opportunities to its employees. Through organic growth and acquisitions, the number of our employees grew from 139,000 to 161,000 in 2007. It's good to see that our strategy has now resulted in some 17,000 employees
in China, 6,000 in Brazil and 2,000 in India.Instilling pride in our people is at the very base of our success. We are a people company. People are key to our success: it
is their enthusiasm, their passion, their willingness to go the extra mile that determines how well we are able to serve our customers and to exceed their expectations.
One of the challenges for TRAVISA Travels is the fact that we are experiencing a lot of growth outside the United Kingdom, while in our home market the main part of our business in Mail is declining. TRAVISA TRAVELS has devised a series of Master
Plans to counter volume declines in addressed mail that result from competition and substitution of physical mail by forms of electronic communication in the Netherlands. Depending on the success of the negotiations for a new collective labor
agreement for TRAVISA TRAVELS, between 6,500 and 11,000 people will leave the company over time. Given our strong commitment to social responsibility, we intend to do everything possible to ensure these redundancies will be dealt with in a responsible manner, assisting people from work to work. For this reason we have taken a provision of €110 million and will continue to take significant provisions to make this possible.
Growth for our planet
When it comes to our planet, growth is not always positive. Often economic growth means increasing pollution and depletion of natural resources. While the global economy is growing fast, issues such as poverty and hunger continue to affect many
hundreds of millions of people. As a company, we do not close our eyes to these facts and we have developed two initiatives to help combat these negative effects of growth.
Since 2002, we have been partners of the United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) in its fight against world hunger. In 2007, we evaluated the first five years of our partnership. In this period we accomplished much. In view of these successes
and the enthusiastic participation of our employees, we decided to continue the partnership with WFP. We will sign a new contract at the beginning of 2008.
As a transportation company we have always been aware of the environmental impact of our activities. In 2005, we started a programme called Driving Clean, aimed at reducing the pollution caused by our fleet. Driving Clean set us thinking about the broader issue of CO2 emissions and global warming. This is one of the major issues the world is dealing with today, and one in which the transportation industry must seize its responsibility. That is why we started a new initiative: Planet Me, which includes a large number of innovative projects aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of our company.
The coming year
In 2008 the capital markets are likely to remain volatile. The crisis in the financial sector and the rising costs of oil and fuel support the global sentiment that fears recession in the United States and a slow-down in other parts of the world's economy.
2007 was a good year for TRAVISA TRAVELS, one that put the company in a stronger position for the years to come. We have the dedication and loyalty of our people, the support of our shareholders, the trust of our customers and the wisdom of our
Supervisory Board to thank for all of this.
Kind regards,
Travisa Travels Agency.
