Fiscal Year 2026
-
Q1 2026 revenue was flat at €781 million, with e-commerce volumes down but yield measures boosting average prices. Outlook for 2026 is confirmed, with ongoing strategic transitions and cost controls offsetting market headwinds.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 targets were met, with Q4 revenue up and EBIT growth. 2026 guidance sees EBIT of EUR 40–70 million and revenue growth of 5–7%, amid ongoing cost control, regulatory changes in mail, and continued investments in ESG and digitalization.
-
Q3 2025 saw stable revenue and ongoing cost savings, but normalized EBIT remained negative, especially in mail, which continues to face structural challenges. Strategic investments and efficiency gains support long-term ambitions, while regulatory and market uncertainties persist.
-
Breakthrough 2028 sets a new strategic direction, focusing on value-driven e-commerce, asset-light platform growth, and a sustainable mail business. Financial targets include €4B+ revenue, €175M+ EBIT, and 12%+ ROIC by 2028, with major investments in digital, AI, and sustainability. Early results from yield management and delivery flexibility pilots are positive, supporting margin expansion.
-
Q2 2025 saw modest revenue growth and continued parcel volume gains, but mail volumes declined sharply and regulatory uncertainty led to a EUR 40 million impairment and no interim dividend. Outlook for 2025 remains cautious, with normalized EBIT expected in line with 2024 and free cash flow negative.
-
Q1 2025 saw 2% revenue growth and a EUR -15 million normalized EBIT, with Parcels up 3.5% and Mail volumes down 6.9%. Outlook for 2025 is unchanged, with negative free cash flow expected and strategic initiatives progressing as planned.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2024 saw strong cost savings and efficiency gains, but margin pressure from client concentration and changing consumer behavior led to a lower-than-expected normalized EBIT of €53M. 2025 guidance anticipates stable EBIT, continued cost savings, and strategic investments, with market share loss expected due to yield measures targeting large clients.
-
Normalized EBIT for 2024 is expected at EUR 53 million, well below guidance, but free cash flow and comprehensive income met outlook, supporting a final dividend. Margin pressure from client concentration and mix effects persists, prompting strategic shifts toward yield management and international growth.
-
Q3 2024 saw negative EBIT due to mail losses, but Parcels delivered improved results and strong volume growth. Full-year EBIT is expected around EUR 80 million, with cost-saving measures and strategic changes underway to address ongoing mail challenges.
-
Q2 2024 saw 6% parcel volume growth (mainly international), stable EBIT, and improved cash flow, despite ongoing cost inflation and margin pressure from mix effects. Full-year guidance is reaffirmed, with cost savings and regulatory changes in focus.
