REVENUE AND EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
We maintained our position well in international business
In  nancial year , revenue in the  division increased by .  year-on-
year to  , million (previous year:  , million). We achieved this above all with
the help of the continuing recovery of the global economy, improved service quality
and our focus on the international express business.  e rise in revenue was .  a er
adjustment for positive currency e ects in the amount of   million, the acquisition of
Shanghai Quanyi Express Co. Ltd. and the sale of our day-de nite domestic businesses
in the  and France.
is organic growth can be attributed mainly to the increase of .  in per-day
shipment volumes in our  product line as well as higher revenues from fuel sur-
charges. Weight per shipment in the  product line showed a substantial rise of .
on the prior year to a level signi cantly above that existing before the economic crisis,
evidence that we maintained our position in the international business.
Organic revenue growth in the fourth quarter amounted to . .  is amount was
slightly below the full-year  gure due to the fact that the economy had already begun
to recover in the comparative prior-year quarter. Per-day shipment volumes for the 
product line increased by . . Revenue and volumes in our  product line declined,
mainly due to the sale of our day-de nite domestic businesses in the  and France.
Consolidation in the Europe region
Revenue for  dropped by .  in the Europe region to  , million (previ-
ous year:  , million).  e reason for the decline was the sale of our day-de nite
domestic businesses in the  and France. Adjusted for these sales and the positive
currency e ects of   million, which resulted primarily from our activities in central
Europe, the  and Scandinavia, organic revenue grew by . .
