ONE、2019年度は黒字もコロナで今年度予想を見送り ONE, FY2019 profit was in the black

オーシャン・ネットワーク・エクスプレス(ONE)の2019年度業績は、税引き後損益が前年度から約7億ドル改善し、1億500万ドルの黒字となった。第4四半期(1～3月)は新型コロナウィルスの影響に伴う積み高の減少などで2200万ドルの赤字となったが、運航費の削減や燃料油価格の下落などにより、当初見込んでいた赤字額予想からは半分以下へと圧縮した。また統合によるシナジー効果の達成は当初3年後を予定していたが、これを1年前倒しして達成したとして、今後さらなる競争力の強化を目指す。ただ足元で新型コロナウィルスの感染拡大で、欧米を含む世界各地での需要減退で荷動きが停滞し、5月以降も不透明感が強いことから、20年度通期見通しについては合理的な見積もりが困難であることから発表を見送った。

The performance of Ocean Network Express (ONE) for the fiscal year of 2019 was a profit of $ 105 million, with profit after tax improved by approximately $ 700 million from the previous year. In the fourth quarter (January-March), a loss of 22 million dollars was recorded due to a decrease in stacking volume due to the impact of the new coronavirus, but it was initially expected due to operating cost reductions and falling fuel oil prices. It has been reduced to less than half from the deficit forecast. The synergy effect from the integration was initially planned to be achieved in three years, but it will be achieved one year ahead of schedule, and the Company aims to further strengthen its competitiveness in the future. However, due to the recent spread of the new coronavirus infection, cargo movements stagnated due to a decline in demand in various parts of the world including Europe and the United States, and uncertainty remains strong from May onward, making it difficult to reasonably estimate the full-year forecast for FY20. The announcement was postponed due to some reason.
