2.2 Revenue
Accounting policies
Revenue comprises freight forwarding services, contract logistics and
other related services delivered in the financial year.
Revenue from services delivered is recognised in accordance with the
over-time recognition principle following the satisfaction of various mile-
stones as the performance obligation is fulfilled towards the customer.
Our main services comprise air, sea, road and solutions services as de-
scribed in the following.
Air services
Air services comprise air freight logistics facilitating transportation of
goods across the globe. Air services are reported within the Air & Sea re-
porting segment. Air services are characterised by short delivery times,
as most air transports are completed within a few days.
Sea services
Sea services comprise sea freight logistics facilitating transportation of
goods across the globe. Sea services are reported within the Air & Sea re-
porting segment. Sea services are characterised by longer delivery times,
averaging one month depending on destination.
Road services
Road services comprise road freight logistics facilitating transportation of
goods by road networks mainly in Europe, Middle East, the US and South
Africa. Road services are reported within the Road reporting segment. Road
services are characterised by short delivery times, as most road transports
are completed within a few days.
Solutions services
Solutions services comprise contract logistics, incl. warehousing and in-
ventory management, across the globe. Solutions services are reported
within the Solutions reporting segment. Solutions services are character-
ised by very short delivery times, happening almost instantaneously as
agreed actions under the customer contract are carried out.
General recognition principles
Revenue from services delivered are recognised based on the price speci-
fied in the contract with the customer. Revenue is measured excluding VAT
and other tax collected on behalf of third parties, and any discounts are
offset against the revenue. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a
customer are not recognised as an asset but as an expense when incurred
due to the short delivery times.
Trade receivables from services delivered are invoiced to the customer
and are not adjusted for any financing components, as credit terms are
short typically between 14 and 60 days - and the financing component
therefore insignificant. Where services delivered have yet to be invoiced
and invoices on services received from hauliers have still to be received,
contract assets and accrued cost of services are recognised at the re-
porting date.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations are not disclosed
following the practical expedient of IFRS 15. Revenue also comprises

income from sale of property projects in the form of sale of land and
buildings acquired, constructed and held for sale in the ordinary course
of business.
Revenue from property projects is recognised at a point in time in the
reporting segment to which it relates when control of and legal title to the
property have been transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognised
based on the price specified in the contract with the customer, and the
consideration is due upon transfer of the legal title. Delivery times on prop-
erty projects are typically 8-18 months.
If the property is leased back after completion, the right-of-use asset
arising from the leaseback is recognised at the proportion of the previous
carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by
DSV. As such, any gain or loss recognised only corresponds to rights
transferred to the buyer.
