“We’re pleased to see excellent revenue growth across our regions, which validates our strategy of broadened service offerings,” said Roger I. MacFarlane, chief executive officer of Long Beach, Calif.-based UTi Worldwide. “The solid net revenue growth was particularly gratifying, even with lower freight yields and a slow domestic trucking market. We fully realized the benefits of our planned cost reduction measures during the quarter, further improving expense ratios, which contributed to a sequential increase in operating margins. We remain focused on operating margin improvement under our CLIENTasONE strategy, as we continue to grow our business.”
