Headline financials

Q2 2025 revenue €807m (Q2 2024: €795m); normalised EBIT €11m (Q2 2024: €18m); Q2 free cash flow €(47)m (Q2 2024: €(19)m). Reported Q2 loss for the period was €(24)m; HY 2025 normalised EBIT was €(5)m and HY loss €(41)m.

Goodwill impairment & USO dispute

PostNL recorded a €40m goodwill impairment in Mail in the Netherlands after concluding the government’s USO proposal is insufficient; the company has filed an appeal and requested preliminary proceedings seeking an advance payment and swift decision. The impairment is excluded from normalised EBIT but impacts reported results.

Parcels performance

Parcels revenue grew 2.8% to €604m in Q2 2025 with volume growth of 2.2% (international +10%, domestic flat); price/mix was positive, cost savings of €9m were realised, and targeted yield measures caused a slight, expected market-share loss.

Mail performance

Mail in the Netherlands saw mail volumes down 8.3% (Q2 2025 revenue €311m vs €318m), margin pressure from lower volumes and higher labour costs, but structural cost savings of €10m were achieved and the business is being adjusted toward a D+2 standard service framework.

Liquidity, debt and capital structure

Adjusted net debt rose to €562m (31 Dec 2024: €474m); cash flow was negative (HY free cash flow €(80)m), and PostNL placed a €100m Schuldschein in June 2025 to help optimise funding. Short-term investments increased to €220m.

Equity and capital distribution

Consolidated equity attributable to shareholders fell to €151m (31 Dec 2024: €202m). Due to regulatory uncertainty and the USO outcome, PostNL will not distribute an interim dividend but reiterates its intention to pay a dividend over 2025 if conditions permit.

Sustainability and operations

Emission‑free last‑mile delivery increased to 33% (Q2 2024: 27%); APL (automated parcel locker) utilisation rose to 48% (FY 2024: 36%), and PostNL continues network investments including climate‑neutral sorting capacity in Belgium.

Outlook

PostNL reiterates its 2025 outlook: normalised EBIT in line with 2024 (2024 normalised EBIT €53m). Full‑year free cash flow guidance range remains €(10)m to €(50)m and the operating environment is described as volatile with client concentration risks.
