PostNL Model update post 4Q23 & conference call feedback

PostNL reported a FY23 normalised EBIT of 92m, in line with the preliminary results on January 26th. However, the FY24 normalised EBIT guidance of € 80 – € 100m comes in below both kbcs and css expectations of respectively € 120m & € 118m, driven by a further uptick in labour costs and negative mix effects at parcels. PNL further mentioned that it is becoming increasingly challenging to meet the required cost savings at mail and intends to move away from next day delivery for standard mail over time. We reiterate our Hold rating but lower our TP from € 1.7 to € 1.4ps.
