Monday 8 August 2016

Second quarter 2016 highlights

  • Operating income (revenues) at EUR 591.9m, down 1.0%, driven by resilient Domestic Mail, excellent Domestic Parcels volumes and continued growth in International Parcels, offset by anticipated lower SGEI compensation.

  • Excellent domestic Parcels volumes up 18.3% (+12.6% for 2Q15) driven by strong e-commerce growth and continued positive trend in C2C. Negative price/mix effect of -3.0% but better than in the    first quarter of 2016. 
  • International Parcels up EUR 1.8m, supported by positive contribution from the acquisition strategy but impacted by lower volumes from and to China.
