"EBI" e-Bid Freight Index in air and sea freights

Index Calculation Method

• The index is calculated independently by LE using bidding data from e-Bid Freight, LE's international logistics platform, and other external sources.

• TC1, 2, and 3 are based on the regional classification defined by IATA. TC1 refers to the Americas (North, Central, and South America), TC2 to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and TC3 to Asia.

• The index is calculated based on the sum of Airfreight plus Fuel Surcharge and Security Surcharge.

• Max range is the high range, mid range is the middle range, and min range is the low range of rates

• 2020 2Q (April-June 2020) may be omitted due to lack of valid data during the COVID19 expansion.

• Mid range for 1Q2020 set to 1 for each index
