Jan 29 (Reuters) - Global freight forwarder CH

Robinson's ( CHRW ) fourth-quarter profit beat analysts'

estimates on Wednesday, aided by cost cuts and strong demand in

ocean and air shipment.

The company's ocean services business focuses on managing

freight costs and optimizing shipping routes, while ensuring

compliance with international regulations for carriers and

helping them navigate complexities of international shipping.

The Minnesota-based company posted adjusted income of $1.21

per share for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with analysts'

average estimate of $1.11 per share, according to data compiled

by LSEG.

Total revenue fell nearly 1% to $4.18 billion. Its operating

expenses declined 2%.
