Distribution revenues grew by 13% and logistics revenues increased by 6%, at the same rate as the transport revenues. We would also like to mention that the gross margin obtained from the sale of goods increased by about RON 19 million, the equivalent of 2,2 percentage points, mainly influenced by the mix of products sold, as well as the mix of distribution channels.
