Earnings Call: Q1 2021

May 19, 2021

Good morning to everyone and thank you for joining us for our Q1 2021 trading update conference call. I'm Sherif Bakr, Head of Investor Relations at INPOST and I'm joined today by Raf Obroska, Founder and CEO of INPOST and Adam Aleksandarovich, Group CFO. Following our prepared remarks, we'll be happy to take your questions. As a reminder, today's call is being recorded and a replay will be made available on INPO's Investor Relations website at www.inpost. Euinvestorsannouncements, where you will also find an accompanying set of slides. Now before we get started, I would like to remind you that today's call includes forward looking statements and expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. And it is possible that actual results may differ materially from the matters discussed today. With that behind us, I'd like to turn the call over to Rafael. Thank you, Shariff. Good morning. Thanks guys for joining us today. So I'm going to provide you an overview of our Q1 2021 highlights And actually the progress we've made on our mission to become Europe's leading out of home automated solution for e commerce. Then Adam will take you through our financials in more detail and our revised 2021 outlook. We'll then be happy, of course, to take questions as well. So maybe jumping in straight forward to the Q1 highlights. We've had a great start to 2021 taking multiple steps to accelerate further our pan European growth strategy, But also to deliver better than expected financial results. So while there still continues to be many questions about how COVID has impacted consumer behavior. We believe that the accelerated shift to the digital economy It's like structural and that's actually also providing us a very strong tailwind for us and that Spans our opportunity to continue to deliver great value for our customers. So I firmly believe that, the consumer behavior has Like permanently changed given the added convenience of online shopping combined with best in class delivery experience. Also PwC report says that 85% of Polish consumers and we may assume that this is the case also for tumors and other markets. Even after the lockdown, once COVID disappears, they will remain on the online shopping preferences. 85%. So for also for retailers, we've seen a significant reduction in physical retail space As you know those retailers have transformed their omnichannel strategies being more focused on online. And they spent more and more money on marketing, on all those activities that are building the solid base of consumers In their online channels. So also really in a number of markets, we've also seen that The merchants, they are acquiring brands for more traditional of more traditional merchants and moving them into the online channel. And as you've seen in today's press release, we are accelerating our investments to capture this opportunity ahead of us and further strengthen the scale of our ecosystem. So we now expect to reach up to 19,000 APMs by the end of the year. And at the midpoint of our revised outlook this This is an increase of more than 1100 machines versus prior outlook. It's mainly driven because of the of the demand we are observing. So we need to build the capacity especially for Q3, Q4, the best quarters of the year. And in the market where 1st mover advantage is key, this will further enhance our competitive position and support longer term growth opportunity. So this is also reflected in our revised CapEx outlook as we accelerate the deployment of APMs and the extensions in 2020 1 to provide the capacity and the land grab opportunity and move forward investments that were previously planned for next year. So Adam will take you through the financials, but at a high level overall parcel volumes increase by almost 100%. So 99% translating into 93% year on year revenue growth. And we continue to benefit from the acceleration in the flywheel effect and also strength of our financial model. That's driving approximately 8 80 basis points of our adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, Which is really an exceptional performance and underscores our relentless focus on execution and shareholder value creation. And On the back of our Q1 performance and expectations for the balance of the year, we've also increased our full year outlook. As mentioned, we took multiple steps to accelerate the Pan European Growth Strategy during Q1. So in Poland, we continue to extend our leadership position and enhance this consumer value proposition. At the end of q1, our APM network in Poland reached more than 11 point 7,000 machines, which is a kind of year on year increase by almost 60%, actually 46% and more than 1 point 6 66,000,000 lockers, which is an up by 77%. So it's not only The density of newly installed machines. It's also the overall capacity that was growing faster than we envisaged. More than 6,300,000 active mobile app users. So just to remind you that's like extra 600,000 new users during just Q1. And moreover, this is the best ranked app on Polish, both Polish app marketplaces. So Google Play and App Store. Tim is fully focus on executing our revised plan for the year and also as we continue to redefine the last mile delivery experience, followed by implementation of new services We plan to do until the year's end. In the UK, we are seeing great momentum as we build our network density rapidly and integrate more and more merchants. So tremendous opportunity for us just to compare the revenues in the Q1 exceeded the revenue achieved in the 1st 3 quarters of 2020. And that underscores the strong momentum We have in the Europe's largest e commerce market. So we also launched instant returns And the UK far exceeded our expectations. So great adoption, great experience, great commerce, great comments and the great NPS. This is a fantastic proposition for merchants. Significant improvement in the UX versus current return experience where people mostly are staying In the queues. We see that as a game changer and we continue to fuel that growth opportunity by adding more and more merchants. So now we have more than 40 retailers working with us on those returns, But adding more and more each week. So we also want to continue our acceleration in APM deployment targeting up to 3,000 APMs by the end of the year. And finally, a few words about Mondiar Rilla. We announced the proposed acquisition in mid March, which would Transform definitely, you know, the scale and the trajectory for international expansion strategy. And we remain on the Same point. We continue to expect the acquisition to close by the end of Q2 and And are already working at pace to ensure that day 1 we have readiness and start to work to accelerate Mondial Real Estate Growth. So overall, super delighted with the strong start of the year and the progress we are making Towards realizing our vision, delivering our commitments for both 2021 but also, the mid medium term. So, handing over to Adam to take you through the financials in more detail. Thank you, Rafael, and good morning to everyone. So, Rafael has Phil, you obviously on the key highlights. I'll zoom in on a couple of details and going through the segments and our segment performance before we turn to updated guidance for the full 2021. So on this page, you see just a high level summary of high level performance. So as mentioned, very, very strong start of the year, a stronger than expected volume growth, both across Poland and international, continued clear demonstration of the strength of our financial model as we grow, as we accelerate increased scale and density of our operations. We continue to expand our margins and we continue to secure very attractive profile on investment in terms of return on CapEx. In Poland, as you can see here, a very strong 91% revenue growth year on year and Q1 of the year. And approximately over 9 40 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, benefiting from both operating leverage, but also continued improvement in terms of productivity across the whole value chain. So again, a very clear continuation of the trends we've been demonstrating last year. In international, we have seen acceleration in growth where revenues have increased more than 5 fold year on year in Q1. And that again is a clear demonstration of the traction We're building in international markets and most notably in the UK. On the next page, going into Poland, overall volume growth of 97% in the quarter, driven by the strong growth in both APM and Tudor segments, but obviously more notably in APM and revenue growth of 91%, driven by combination of strong volume growth, but also change in the mix segment mix. So APM waiting more and more in the entire business, slightly diluting average price and for bringing down a little bit the revenue growth rate. But again, very much in line with our expectation. Very pleased to observe how we continue to drive productivity, as I mentioned, and improve overall unit economics with scale and of the network and also automation of our operations. And we obviously continue to generate leverage out of our G and A costs and deliver operating leverage translating this very clearly to expanding adjusted EBITDA margin. This has obviously translated to a margin of 44.8%. So very, very visible step up year on year in Q1. And now turning into APM segment on the next page. So as mentioned, very strong quarter with 114 volume growth, obviously driven by overall acceleration of the e commerce penetration, but also us clearly being continuing to drive the adoption of the end users and continuing to be a preferred form of last mile delivery as a result, obviously, increasing our market share. And last but not least, obviously, also increasing size and density and rollout into so called white spaces. So the new locations, most specifically outside big cities where we increase coverage, provide access to online shoppers and simply generate new volume. Pricing has declined very modestly year on year, driven by customer mix. This is very much in line with our expectations. And actually pricing has been slightly ahead of our expectations. So we've seen that customer structure being more favorable to us and price dilution being lower than expected originally. On to the next page, talking a little bit about the APM network expansion. So as you remember, the capacity of our APM network is defined by 2 dimensions. It's the number of PMs or number of locations, but also the number of lockers at each APM. As you remember, as the maturity utilization of APMs grows, We expand them. We add additional modules, additional locus to be able to manage utilization properly and deliver the best in class user experience for our end consumers. And as you can see on the page, we've been increasing the average size of the locker across the couple of last quarters. That's been the case also in Q1 this year. We increased our overall local capacity by 77% year on year, driven by the combination of both new rollouts into white spaces, but also expansion of the existing APM locations. And in Q1, we've accelerated the pace of deployment, adding close to 1,000 APMs and almost 200,000 new lockers to the network. So that at the end of the quarter, we've operated almost 1,650,000 of lockers as a total APM network capacity. And as Rafael mentioned, we are accelerating and we have an intention to accelerate our expansion into the second half of the year to both address the growing demand for our services, which is reflected in higher volumes, but also to provide us more opportunity to capture the mid term growth and also obviously by continued increase of density of the network enable us to continue improving our unit Economics. Moving on to the next page, turning to the 2 door segment, where growth rates were also very healthy, 44% year on year in Q1 and revenue increasing by 41%. Again, slight pricing dilution, Similarly, like for APM segment driven by the customer mix, but very, very modest in both segments that modest price dilution not preventing us from actually driving margin expansion and improving unit economics. Turning on to the international segment on the next page. We continued to ramp up the scale and scope of our international segment in Q1, accelerated the pace of APM deployment in the international markets, most notably, obviously, UK, as well as we enhanced our value proposition for both consumers and merchants. What that meant was APM deployments in the UK increased the size of the network by 76% as we accelerated our APM network deployment. As you remember focusing at this point in time mostly on 3 largest cities of the UK, so London, Birmingham, Manchester. Continue to expand our merchant base. Live Now, as Rafael mentioned, with 70 leading retail brands in the UK and also launched our instant returns offering in the UK. That's a label less return with very good feedback from the market, very strong initial volume uptake and very good outlook for the rest of the year to be able to build differentiation in the marketplace based on this product. That is a summary of the Q1 performance. And I will now turn to updated outlook for 2021. So moving to Page 13. You can basically see here updated group level and pro form a outlook for 2021. Just to remind the pro form a includes the expected impact of the full year pro form a consolidation of Mondial Relay acquisition. At this point, of course, the Mondial Relay outlook is unchanged for obvious reasons. As Rafael mentioned, we've not completed the acquisition yet. We expect The completion to be somewhere end of Q2 of this year. So clearly have not changed our outlook yet. So any changes to the previous guidance that you'll see here are driven by the existing business of Poland, most notably Poland and International. At a high level, we have increased our revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin expectations for the year, but also significantly step up in CapEx as we accelerate the rollout of the APM network, both in Poland and internationally. But we also bring forward some of the investment to secure the supply chain for 2022 network deployment. So starting with the size of the APM network, We have narrowed the band for the range of the number of APNs for the end of the year. That's expected to be somewhere in the range of 18 1250 to 19,000 APMs for the entire business, both Poland and international. What it means is that at the midpoint of that guidance, we expect to grow the network by 52% or to add roughly 6,400 machines. And it's both step up in the guidance, but it's also rollout acceleration compared to last year. Whereas, Rafael mentioned, last year, we've grown the network in terms of number of APMs by 47% year on year. The midpoint of our updated guidance would imply that we're actually increasing network by 52% this year. That's obviously on the back, as I said, of our deep conviction that, a, you know, to secure the best in class UX, We have to expand the size of the network to cater for the higher volumes, but also remaining quite confident that the profile of this investment will remain equally attractive as it was in the past when we are looking at the dynamics of the market. In terms of parcel volumes, parcel volumes are now expected to be anywhere between 455,000,000 to 485,000,000 of parcels, year on year increase in the range of 47% to 57%. In terms of revenue, We have increased the midpoint of our revised outlook by 7% compared to the previous guidance, which year on year implies the growth of 46% to 52% in terms of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected To be between 41% to 43% for the whole of the group, driven by the higher margin expectations for Poland. I'll cover that in a second. And as I mentioned, the other significant element of the step change in the guidance is CapEx, where we actually are doing 2 things. As I mentioned, accelerating investment this year, but also securing undisrupted supply chain for the next year's rollout. There are certain tensions in the supply chain globally. They're driven by the backdrop of the last year's COVID lockdown in China. The supply chain has still not fully recovered. There are still, you know, we still observe bottlenecks intentions. And to be able to address that and make sure, you know, our ability to roll out the network next year is basically undisrupted. We'll bring some of the CapEx forward for this year and prepay some of the supplies. What that means is midpoint to midpoint, our guidance is increasing by SEK 100 70,000,000 zloty in terms of total capex number. Out of this, approximately 50% is related to the APM deployments that will take place this year, both in Poland and the UK. Roughly 40 percent is a is a pull forward of CapEx prepayments to secure next year's supplies and the balance which Roughly, the remaining 10% is basically some small step up in the CapEx for the IT and fulfillment infrastructure in Poland. And as I mentioned, as we look Basically at the profile of the utilization of the machines, we also look at the profile of the utilization ramp up for the new rollouts of APMs this year. We're quite confident that the return profile of these investments will remain very, very attractive. Despite the increase in CapEx, which is quite significant, we still expect our full year cash conversion to be in the range of low 40s, which should improve our balance sheet structure and enable us to deleverage business quite significantly. So just to remind you, on a pro form a basis, when we announced the Mondial Rilla acquisition, we have guided that The post acquisition pro form a leverage for the group would be somewhere in the range of 3.5 times EBITDA. We think we with the current pace of growth, with the margin expansion and the cash generation As provided in the updated guidance, we will be able to bring this down to below 3 by year end. So we would expect So we would expect our leverage to be below 3 as of December 2021. Now moving to Poland on the next page. As I mentioned, vast majority of the changes in the outlook are obviously driven by the Polish market performance given the scale of this segment. We now expect to end 2021 in Poland with between 15,500 to 16,000 of APMs. That would be an increase of 44% to 48% compared to last year's pace of growth and or adding approximately a net 5,000 machines in Poland alone. And given obviously the current performance and the current market dynamics and also what we observe post Q1, we now expect APM volumes to grow between 50% to 57% year on year for the full year and APM revenue to grow between 50% 55 percent year on year. In terms of adjusted EBITDA margin, we are increasing our guidance by 200 basis points compared to the previous outlook. So expect the margin to be in the range of 45% to 47% adjusted EBITDA margin in Poland for the full year. That implies that it's 430 basis points year on year increase at the midpoint of this guidance compared to full year 2020. And in terms of full year CapEx numbers, We expect it to be in the range of 740,000,000 to 780,000,000 for the Polish market for the full year for the reasons I've just outlined on the previous page. Moving to international, Our assumptions are largely unchanged, high level. There's some small tweaks. We have narrowed again the band in terms of size of the APM network for the UK. So we've Basically raised the midpoint of the range by approximately 400 machines compared to the previous guidance. Basically might accelerate a little bit more than we thought initially. From the revenue perspective, I have marginally increased our outlook by PLN 10,000,000, but that's mostly driven by a different product mix in the UK. We expect also increased CapEx on the back of the narrowed range of the deployments. So the CapEx for the international to be in the range of 125,000,000 to 140,000,000 for the full year. And that's very much it. So international, very much in shape as we expected and continuing to accelerate. In summary, I think, as a closing remark, we're very, very pleased with our execution in Q1, our ability to both capture incremental growth, but also to be able to translate that growth into profits And obviously remain very highly focused on continuing to drive efficiencies in all aspects of our operations, delivering further margin expansion in the business, continuing to invest to support future growth and secure attractive ROI on our investments. Thank you very much. That's all I guess from my side. Turning Back to the operator and open for the questions. Thanks a lot. Thank you. 21. And we'll now take our first question. It comes from David Kerstens of Jefferies. Please go ahead. Thank you. Good morning, gentlemen. Three questions, please. First of all, can you give an indication how rapidly the APM segment is taking share in the Polish market from the 2 doors segments. I think it was at 35%, 36% and full year 2020. Is it now rapidly approaching to become the dominant segment in the Polish market? And the second Question is regarding the momentum in April. Can you give the volume growth numbers that you're seeing in Parcels in Poland And for the UK, please. And then finally, I think in the press conference this morning, you're seeing that the competition is delaying the rollout. I was wondering if you can please elaborate on that what you had expected and what you're currently seeing in the Polish market in terms of deployment from competition? Thank you very much. Yeah. So maybe I'll hand over to Rafael for the last question of the 3. But let me cover the first too. So in terms of APM market share, yes, we clearly see that we are we continue to gain share and we continue to gain share quite significantly, Very difficult to give precise numbers. But we think the trends we've witnessed last year When we've been taking teams of market share points from the 2 door deliveries, That is clearly continuing and that's clearly continued in Q1. So that's definitely the case. But as I said, difficult at this point in time to give precise numbers. In terms of April growth, again, can't give precise growth rate. But just to reiterate, you know, in absolute terms, and please remember last year, April 2020 in Poland was the outburst of the COVID wave 1 and the very strict lockdown. The volumes in the month of April 2020 have been exceptionally high. And obviously if you think about the growth rates, growth rates would be distorted by a high base. But if we look at the absolute number of parcels, We've seen very, very healthy growth in April compared to previous months. So these trends continue to be positive for us. And maybe Rafael, if you can cover the competition question. Yeah, happy to. So we tend not to comment competition or press releases or press statements. Just wanted to Reinforce my statement from the previous conference where we said that end of the year, that's going to be a hard checkpoint. What was in the press and what's on the ground? At least looking at some of the announcements we saw in November, some of the players were supposed Deploy first machines or hundreds of machines. That's the quote from the articles. Beginning of the year, Then it was beginning of spring. Now some of them claim Q3 or Q4 still struggling with even having any start. So this is like, you know, a kind of obvious thing for us. It's not about buying machines. It's not about even deploying machines. It's all about creating an ecosystem based on a technology, based on a state of the art logistics, mobile app, quality, weekend deliveries, label less returns, NPS over 71. This is a complex task and this is how we perceive this. And as I said, we are not commenting on the press releases. We are doing our job. We are deploying more and more. We are accelerating and we will accelerate further if the demand on the in post service is increasing. Understood. Can I ask one quick follow-up please In terms of network utilization, clearly, you had very strong volume growth in the Q1? Do you see that network utilization is getting to high levels that is supporting the accelerated rollout and maybe related to the new Amazon contract that has come in place. Yes. I mean, as I mentioned, part of the rollout acceleration are actually increase in the CapEx and the total locker capacity. It's not necessarily new locations, but it's definitely the size of the lockers as well is driven by the need to cater for the increased volumes. I wouldn't say basically utilization is too high, but we want to prevent a situation where A very high utilization level has a negative impact on the user experience. We definitely want to provide best in class service. So the user experience is absolutely key here and we definitely need to have enough capacity to address the current growth but also The market momentum that we clearly see that will continue into the later part of the year. Thank you very much. Our next question Comes from Marco Limick of Barclays. Please go ahead. Marco, I'm afraid we can't hear you very well. Sorry, if you can speak up, couldn't hear you. Is this better? Yes, it's better. Thanks. This is better. Yes, okay. Sorry about that. Yes, my first question is looks A bit more on what you expect on the medium term. At the time of the IPO, you were providing some growth figure for what we can expect indeed for volumes. And I was wondering if you still think that we can still expect broadly the same volume growth, but just on higher base or you think that in 2021, we are just seeing a bit more front loading of the growth That so the aggregated growth over the medium term over the next 5 years is you think it's probably unchanged? And my second question is on the average local size. You show at Slide 9 that The average local size has increased in Q1 compared to the past. And I was wondering if you can provide a broad split of How much of that growth in average size comes from just larger locals and how much comes from additions to smaller lockers and if the economics of additions are better compared to just installing larger lockers? Thanks. Yes. So in terms of mid term guidance, clearly at this point in time, we're not updating mid guidance. So wouldn't want to get into details, but just broadly addressing your question around, you know, the front loaded growth this year, etcetera. I think the growth is stronger than we thought, but it's not worlds apart, right? So it's not like we're witnessing right now a different reality than we thought about 3 or 4 months ago. It's very much in line in what we thought in terms of a big picture. So I don't think we're talking about some kind of accelerated front loaded growth that will kind of flatten down or slow down later this year or next year. There's probably no reason to think that. As Rafael was explaining, it's a structural growth. It's consumer behavior, it's consumer preferences, but it's also the online and omni channel strategies of the largest retailers, both in Poland and I think Europe wide, where people have just redefined their business models, are more kind of online focused and really are spending a lot of money, time and focus to actually drive online. So we're very positive. The fact that we've seen a bit more acceleration Q1 and potentially Q2, Q3 this year will not have an impact in terms of the midterm outlook. Obviously, the percentage growth rates Might play slightly differently, but we have no reason to believe in absolute terms, this is a change to our midterm view. But as I said, at this point in time, difficult to discuss details around the mid term guidance. In terms of a locker size, You know, increase in the locker size, as you can remember, you know, the model is very simple. We put out a locker, You know, the standard configuration depending on the type of a location. And then we expand it as the utilization builds up. So answering your question, increasing the locker sizes is almost solely driven by the increase in size of the existing lockers already. It's not like we're putting out the new lockers which are larger than last year. It's extensions. In terms of unit economics, clearly an extension provides a very compelling unit economics and much better profile in terms of ROI compared to the rollout of the new locker. The reason being, First of all, the heaviest part of your CapEx being the steering unit has already been invested and you're just adding a lighter CapEx extension module. And then secondly, it's a location which has a well kind of defined user base is very well utilized. So the incremental utilization builds up very, very quickly. So actually the if you were to tear the locker out sorry the APM apart and look separately on the ROI on the extension versus putting out a new locker The former clearly provides you with much better return profile. Okay. Thank you very much. Our next question comes from Lotte Timmermans of ABN AMRO, Aydel BHF. Please go ahead. Good morning, gentlemen. Two questions From my side, one question on your guidance, international revenue versus volumes. You mentioned product mix as an explanation. Is this based on less third party volumes? Or is this because you see the share of returns increasing and better than expected? Then my second question is on the supply chain, which you mentioned. What parts of the value chain do you exactly see the bottlenecks And expect to focus on this year. Thanks. Sorry, Lotte, I didn't get the second half of your second question. Could you please repeat that for me? Thank you. Sure. I'll fully repeat it. So the second question was that you indicated that the supply chain has not fully recovered yet. What parts of value chain do you exactly see bottlenecks and what are you focused on this year? Yes, okay. Thank you. Yes. So international, yes, it's a combination of both different mix of what we call own volume versus rental volume. So the volume that's provided by the 3rd party logistics providers who use our lockers with the benefit to the former one, which clearly enjoys higher average price. But also, as you mentioned, the launch of the instant returns is very encouraging. Clearly, the price point on this one is more attractive than our average price. So it's a combination of both. In terms of the supply chain, I think the 2 most kind of sensitive bottlenecks of the whole supply chain is electronics for the APMs, which are sourced from both Europe and China. But most notably, I think China is a problem. You probably are aware that It's not only the manufacturing, but it's also, you know, the global freight and transportation, which has come under, you know, immense pressure. So delivery times, you know, in the Q1 of this year have increased dramatically. There's been shortage of the freight capacity globally. And it's a combination of both, which actually impact, not only the ability by the Chinese manufacturers to manufacture, but also by the freight and expedition companies to actually deliver that from Asia to Europe or the U. S. So actually these are the 2 really elements. And this is very, very slowly regaining its pre COVID balance And that balance is still not fully in place yet. And we expect this balance will continue to at least towards Q3Q4 of this year. Therefore, our need to actually address that and make sure we are not hit by that disruption. Okay. That's a clear view of the trend. The question is also, you are not You're not fully producing it to yourselves, you're probably outsourcing it right to you in production facility. Are there some costs passed on or is it truly Calculated towards you. No, no. I mean, the cost as such and the kind of contract manufacturing It's not an issue whatsoever that's fully under control. It's the manufacturing components where the stretch and the tension Yes. But overall, I mean, we're very, very confident that we have this all under control. The reason we're bringing a little bit of the CapEx forward is to continue to be in control and essentially not get Not be negatively affected by the whole this balance, but just to make it very, very clear. So far we've been able to manage it very, very smoothly and the expectation is this will be also the case towards second half of this year. Great. Thanks We'll now take our next question. It comes from Gianluca Pedicconi of Momentum. Good afternoon, gentlemen, and sorry, good morning and compliments for the impressive set of Q1 results. I have a few questions. The first one is, when you are planning to accelerate the APM deployment in Poland, Can we read this and the kind of response to the potential coming competition? That is the very first question. The second one is you mentioned that you were able to increase even further the utilization rates. How much of this is actually due to your ecosystem? And so can we consider a kind of And to bear because of your technology and how much is adjusted driven by an increase in volume demand. And the very last question is about international. In the target country and I mean the U. K, Italy, France and Spain. Do you have the perception That's either the incumbent or newcomers are moving in order to Try and have a kind of a first mover advantage before you will be able to deploy a dense network. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Gianluca. And let me answer all three of them. So first, our acceleration in terms of the deployment is mostly driven by the growing demand. That said, We we are planning our resources few quarters ahead of us. That said, We are calculating and envisaging that in Q3, Q4, the demand is going to be much stronger because of this strong Q1, because of this stronger adoption, because of the Because of the even of the surveys that showing us clearly that people will stay with online shopping and they will not go away Even if the physical shops are open. That said this is mostly driven by the expected demand coming from the new clients, but also a typical land grab we make in smaller towns or even villages. Just to let you know, already 2,000 village communities have got lockers of impulse. We are not only deploying machines in cities or meet or big cities. We are going into villages and this is a completely new demand we are targeting and that's also One of the drivers of the growth. So the second point in terms of utilization, you are right. This is a spot on observation. We are driving the utilization thanks to the technology, thanks to new services, Thanks to improved processes and thanks to the weekend deliveries as well. Thanks to this, We are utilizing machines more efficiently and that's purely conveying to a better profitability and operating margin. And moreover, we have plenty of tech initiatives, Including big data forecasting, going into profiling of the clients according to their habits. When to deliver parcels most efficiently to provide us as quick pickup time as possible. So instead of having parcels occupying a locker for 12 hours, we know and We are implementing tax solutions that the parcel half of the parcels we have picked up within 2 hours. So that's all about big data and technology and we expect to expand this efficiency further. And the last question, in terms of perception, The answer is no. We haven't noticed an extraordinary activity in those geographies so far, which Doesn't mean it may not change, although still in this moment I want to just remind to everybody that UK market is 12 times larger than Poland. France is 8 times larger than Poland in terms of volume. That said, In France, 40% of the volume goes to out of home, goes to PUDO. So even you know An extraordinary activity of multiple players will not change our view in terms of the total market potential for a sizable network of lockers of in post. Thank you very much for your very straightforward answers. Thank you. Our next question comes from Henk Slotboom of D. I. D. A. Please go ahead. Good morning, gentlemen. Thanks for taking my questions. I've got 2 and both are on international. Rafael, I look at the guidance you gave for the number of APMs at the end of this year for international, then it's 750 more and your old guidance, the lower end of the year of the bandwidth. You have 1810 APM is currently already installed in the UK and Italy. But if I remember it correctly, when You had sorry, when you organized the call on Mondial delay, you also said that you were looking into the opportunities to add some of the lockers to existing Mondelez Kudos. Could you perhaps Tell me or shed some light on what extent the $750,000,000 uplift in the lower end of the bandwidth Includes that or that it is still to come, that's one. The second thing is related to that. If I look at the overall guidance, then it's very strong. Obviously, Poland is the main driver there. You said in the introduction remarks that you left the international growth guidance more or less unchanged. Is that caution, which is probably subject to revision once the Mondial Relay acquisition has closed? Those were my questions. Thank you. Yeah, happy to answer that as well. Quickly in terms of the first part, no, actually both parts. I think In our guidance, because the transaction hasn't happened, hasn't been closed, we are not able to forecast and guide the investors regarding our deployment plan for French market for sure. And similarly, you know, we are not changing the international guidance so far because of this one event that still hasn't happened, which is the acquisition. It's fair to assume that that is a potential bonus? Adam? Yes. Let us comment in a different way. I think once we close And once we're able actually to work without restrictions with Mondia roulette team, we'll definitely look into how much of the growth potential we're able to derive and deliver this year. And definitely, if we see You know, a difference to our original guidance. We will communicate that with the market. Whether it's a bonus, Difficult to comment, but we'll definitely come back with a revised view on Mondiarilla later in the year. Okay. I think that's fair. Thank you very much. Have a nice day. Thank you. Thank you. It appears we have no further questions at this time. I would like to hand the call back to Ralf Bjorska for any additional or closing remarks. Thank you guys. So once again maybe a quick reinforcement that The company is definitely going into the right direction. That's something what I may say is our strong view here. Secondly, we still are in front of the Mondiar Rille acquisition. That said, it will potentially drive further our views on 2021, Especially the second half of the year. But also going further, especially for 2022 2023, as we know that we should Shape the Right strategy jointly with the great team of Mondial Rille. And we are pretty consistent in our Key messages that we are like mentioning on almost every briefing. 1st, Competitive angle, we are reassured. The more we see, the more we look at At the barriers to entry, we are looking also at the supply chain complexity that Adam mention. And seems that some of those tensions are also already becoming Let's say an issue for in front of the competitors across Europe. I'm not only speaking about Poland. We are also sure that the technology angle and the ecosystem that's based on technology we've built here, we've created here with a strong faith towards customers. What I mentioned in answer On one of those questions, you know, rising the expectations, bringing even more for the clients, Increasing NPS, bringing more features to the mobile app. That's like 80% of the success of in post. And physically machines that's probably less than 20%. And moreover, this factor is diminishing. The more we develop, The more developments we plan for future in terms of services, fulfillment, in terms of Speed of delivery and real 20 fourseven access to the service, the less important The physical machine is. So we are very satisfied. We are working very hard. We would love to rise the bar further. And we'll do that once we have conviction that the performance, the over performance we are Observing is like a steady state trend and we are like going into the direction of the closing of the transaction with Mondiarile, which will definitely fast track our international expansion massively. So happy to announce today's results and happy for the questions and Yeah, probably handing over right now to Sherif. If you want to add something, feel free. Thank you. Just thank everyone for today's time. We look forward to speaking with many of you over the coming days weeks.
