"While the company has a good operating and financial track record, it is not one of the world's most excellent business: it operates in a competitive market in which pricing power is hard to retain, it faces cyclical demand conditions in some of its business segments and, most importantly, it utilises very lease-intensive funding (almost $190m of leases, of which $115m relates to equipment [*])."
There are some competitive advantages it has in operating in a competitive market :
They have depots (more now with the Hunter bolt on ) that act also as bulk stores for farmers , to one stop shop and sell , ie utilise the facility for farmers shipping in supplies and shipping then shipping out produce by LAU , compare that with Elders who have to use outside third parties for transport .
The company also uses intermodal rail for across nation Transport only a few freight companies have this option
The company does need to reduce its carbon footprint I would like to see some movement in that direction could they put solar panels on the reefer rail containers ? .
