Africa Global Logistics Côte d’Ivoire (SDSC) posted a 1% decline in revenue for H1 2024, totaling CFA 42.65 billion. Operating income plunged 260% to a loss of CFA 1.29 billion. Net profit, however, rose by 37% to CFA 18.6 billion, supported by a 47% increase in dividend income.
The dip in operating income was attributed to weaker maritime and logistics operations, including intramural handling, export/import transit, and air freight. Improved performance in logistics base management and value-added warehousing partially offset these declines.
