bpost First Look - Compliance update & call feedback: less impact than expected

Friday evening, bpost announced that it had finalised the three compliance reviews related to traffic fines, 679 accounts and license plates. The final review found a number of malpractices related to all three services. Pending the conclusion of the relevant ministries, bpost has taken a provision of € 75m. This is well below our original assumption of between € 112 – € 375m, as guided in our note “Pandora's box has been opened”. The expected negative EBIT impact of € 10m is also well below the earlier guided € 25 –€ 50m (o/w € 12.5m booked in 1H23). Hold and € 4.0 TP maintained.
