bpost 1Q24 Conference call feedback
1Q24 sales decreased 5.3% to € 993m, or 3.2% below CSS expectations driven by soft results in N-A. Although the 1Q24 adj. EBIT of € 62.1m came in below expectations (kbcse: € 71.6m, css: € 69.7m), we want to highlight that the adj. EBIT was impacted by € 7.7m in M&A costs related to the Staci acquisition. Excluding this effect, profitability was in line with expectations driven by solid cost savings in E-logistics. Additionally, bpost mentioned that it does not expect any restructuring costs in Flanders. Although we believe the outcome of the press distribution is better than expected, visibility on the LT margin impact still remains limited. Pending some more visibility on Wallonia, we reiterate our Buy rating and € 6.9TP.Bpost is engaged in the provision of national and international mail and parcels services comprising the collection, transport, sorting and distribution of addressed and non-addressed mail, printed documents, newspapers and parcels.
