Austrian Post: According to Austrian Post, the whole 2020 as well as the recently concluded fourth quarter presented a major challenge for Austrian Post. The development of the letter, direct mail and parcel businesses varied considerably in 2020. The volume flows of letter and direct mail items were strongly reduced as a result of the pandemic. The volume of addressed letter mail fell by 7 % year-on-year, compared to a 5 % decrease in media post. The decline even reached a level of 12 % for direct mail items, due to the substantial impact of the lockdown measures in many sectors. In contrast, parcel volumes showed a positive development of +30 % in Austria, +27 % in the CEE region and +47 % in Turkey. In particular, the company succeeded in handling the enormous parcel volumes in the fourth quarter of 2020 while, at the same time, maintaining high quality in delivery. According to preliminary figures, Group revenue of Austrian Post increased by 8.3 % in 2020 to Euro 2,189 mn. The Turkish company Aras Kargo, fully consolidated since 25 August 2020, also contributed to growth with revenue of about Euro 100 mn. In line with this revenue development, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) are expected to be in the range of Euro 160 mn, compared to Euro 201 mn in 2019. The EBIT decline in the Mail and Retail & Bank Divisions are in contrast to a significant earnings improvement achieved by the Parcel & Logistics Division.
