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 revenue growth in Parcels and continued Mail decline, with results as expected but below last year. Strategic initiatives and price increases offset cost pressures, while outlook and dividend intentions for 2025 remain unchanged amid ongoing market and regulatory uncertainties.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2024 saw strong cost savings and efficiency gains, but margin pressure from client concentration and changing consumer behavior led to a normalized EBIT of €53M, below expectations. For 2025, EBIT is expected to be flat, with strategic initiatives impacting results and continued focus on cost savings and network optimization.
-
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.
