Austrian Post: Austrian Post’s Group revenue in the first three quarters of 2018 improved to Euro 1,416.4 mn, comprising a year-on-year increase of 0.8%. Growth in the parcel business (+11.5%) compensated for the decrease of revenue in the Mail & Branch Network Division (–2,6%). Group EBIT totalled Euro 141.9 mn, implying a year-on-year increase of 1.5%. This solid development in the first nine months of 2018 should enable Austrian Post to maintain its clear capital market positioning as a reliable dividend stock. “Reliability and stability towards our shareholders and other stakeholders of our company remain the focal point of our strategic activities, and we want to continue along this path”, CEO Georg Pölzl stated.
