21st Austria weekly - Austrian Post (07/03/2025)

Austrian Post: Revenue of the Austrian Post Group increased by 13.9 % in 2024 to EUR 3,123.1m. Mail Division revenue rose by 4.1 % to EUR 1,239.8m and is negatively impacted by the structural decline of addressed letter mail volumes in the amount of 6 % caused by the electronic substitution. In contrast, postage rate adjustments as at 1 September 2023 as well as the super election year of 2024 had a positive effect. The direct mail segment was faced with a backdrop of a weak economic environment with a structural decline in certain customer segments (e.g., furniture sector, mail-order business). The Parcel & Logistics Division revenue increased by 20.9 % in 2024 to EUR 1,712.5m. The parcel business developed very positively in all regions. Strong revenue growth was particularly recorded in Türkiye, impacted by high inflation and the exchange rate of the Turkish Lira. Divisional revenue was still up by 12.7 % excluding the parcel business in Türkiye. The Retail & Bank Division achieved a revenue of EUR 201.5m in 2024 (+19.5 %). The increase in the number of bank99-customers as well as interest rate developments in the past financial year positively contributed to divisional revenue.  In terms of earnings, Austrian Post also had a very successful year. EBITDA increased by 8.0 % to EUR 422.7m and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by 9.0 % to EUR 207.3m. The profit for the period of the Austrian Post Group equalled EUR 145.9m, comprising a year-on-year improvement of 5.2 %. Accordingly, earnings per share were EUR 2.04, up from EUR 1.96 in the prior-year period (+4.1 %). On the basis of this solid performance and balance sheet position, an attractive dividend of EUR 1.83 per share will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on 9 April 2025. This corresponds to a payout ratio of 85 % of the Group net profit and a dividend yield of 6.4 % based on the closing share price on 31 December 2024.
