Revenue rose year-on-year (YoY) as long-term and short-term rental fleet grew. Additionally, five-month lease earnings from AutoWorld alongside the full-year revenue from Overseas Development Co. (70% owned by the group) further bolstered the company’s performance.

 

Meanwhile, there was an improvement in operating rates for both short-term and long-term rentals, along with the expansion of the fleet size.

 

The acquisition of AutoWorld, which focuses on long-term rentals, also contributed to the increase in profits during the last five months of the year. Furthermore, the operational integration and the benefits derived from the synergies post-acquisition led to improved fleet utilization and a continuous increase in profitability.
