STATUS <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

Turnover<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>Kuehne</strong> + <strong>Nagel</strong>’s turnover amounted to CHF 19,596<br />

million representing a decrease of 3.3 per cent or CHF 665<br />

million compared to the previous year. The impact of the worldwide<br />

development of economic activity on the organic business<br />

resulted in an increase of CHF 1,428 million and acquisitions<br />

contributed CHF 459 million. The exchange rate fluctuation<br />

resulted in a negative impact of CHF 2,552 million.<br />

At regional level, the Americas reported an increase in turnover<br />

(0.8 per cent), whereas turnover has decreased in Europe<br />

(4.5 per cent), Asia-Pacific (4.1 per cent) and Middle East,<br />

Central Asia and Africa (2.6 per cent).<br />

Exchange rate fluctuations between 2010 and <strong>2011</strong>, based on<br />

average yearly exchange rates, led to a significant lower valuation<br />

of the Euro of 10.9 per cent, a lower valuation of the U.S.<br />

dollar as well as depending currencies (e.g. a number of countries<br />

in Asia, South America and the Middle East) of 14.6 per<br />

cent and of the British Pound of 11.7 per cent against the Swiss<br />

franc. When comparing the turnover in the income statement, a<br />

negative currency impact of approximately 12.6 per cent must<br />

be taken into consideration in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
