The negative dynamics in both scale and profitability of TransContainer’s business was a result of decrease in demand on the back of growth in competition on the railway containertransportation market in January-February 2013 partially offset by the Company’s management efforts aimed at costs optimisation as well as further development of the Company’s operations in Kazakhstan and Central Asia through the Kazakh subsidiary Kedentransservice.
