Revenue Growth

PostNL achieved a 2.8% increase in revenue, reaching €807 million in Q2 2025 compared to €795 million in Q2 2024. This growth was primarily driven by a 2.2% increase in parcel volumes and enhanced client concentration.

Decline in Profitability

Normalized EBIT decreased to €11 million in Q2 2025 from €18 million in the same quarter last year. The reduction was influenced by a €40 million goodwill impairment related to Mail in the Netherlands and increased operational costs.

Challenges in Mail Services

Mail volume fell by 8.3% in Q2 2025, largely due to phasing effects that partially offset the impact from election mail in Q2 2024. This decline led to decreased revenue in the mail segment despite price increases.

Regulatory and Government Relations

The Dutch government's rejection of PostNL's application for financial contributions for 2025 and 2026 has prompted the company to initiate appeals and preliminary legal proceedings. Additionally, the proposed changes to the universal service obligation (USO) were deemed insufficient for a future-proof postal service.

Sustainability Initiatives

PostNL enhanced its commitment to sustainability by increasing emission-free last-mile deliveries to 33% in Q2 2025, up from 27% in Q2 2024. This progress underscores the company's efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.
