EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • ✓ Group volumes increase: In Q3 2023, Group parcel volume reached 210.4 million, representing asignificant YoY increase of 18%. Both Poland and InPost's international markets' contributed to this growth, recording YoY increases of 13% and 28% respectively.
  • ✓ Group revenue growth: In Q3 2023, the Group achieved a significant growth in revenue, reaching PLN 2,067.2 million and marking a 22.3% increase YoY. This was driven by the growth in volume across all markets as well as the successful implementation of repricing initiatives.
  • ✓ Strong Adjusted EBITDA: Group Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 639.4 million, with an increase of 40.3% YoY, and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.9%. Group EBIT was up by 74.9% YoY, and EBIT margin increased to 16.0% in Q3 2023 vs 11.2% a year earlier.
  • ✓ Positive Free Cash Flow: In Q3 2023, InPost achieved positive Free Cash Flow (FCF) of PLN 310.9 million at a Group level (49% FCF/adjusted EBITDA). In Poland, FCF amounted to PLN 340.4 million, corresponding to a 58% FCF/adjusted EBITDA conversion. The Group net leverage decreased to 2.6x as of Q3 2023 vs 3.2x as of FY 2022.
  • ✓ Poland volumes ahead of the market: In Poland, during Q3 2023 InPost achieved a high growth in volumes reaching 140.4 million parcels. Q3 2023 marked another quarter in which InPost's growth exceeded the pace of the market albeit softer market volumes in September.

  • ✓ Mondial Relay strong B2C growth: Mondial Relay achieved an 10% YoY growth in volumes in Q3 2023, primarily due to a notable 24% YoY increase in the B2C segment, in line with the Group's strategy for Mondial Relay's markets.
  • ✓ UK now profitable: In the UK, InPost successfully delivered 13.4 million parcels in Q3 2023 with revenue reaching PLN 125.2 million (up 138.9% YoY).

2 Company estimate based on market statistics and reports

3 UK Adjusted EBITDA excluding overheads costs (primarily tech)

Once again InPost has achieved remarkable growth. This is the result of our strategic vision and hard work of our teams, both in Poland and in our international markets. During this quarter, the expansion of our out-of-home network, which reached over 60,000 points, combined with the clear appreciation from our customers, reflected on an impressive increase in our profitability, allowing us to record a +40% Adjusted EBITDA growth YoY.

I'm particularly proud of the success that we have achieved in the UK. InPost is now the #1 APM network in this market and, during the last quarter, we achieved a positive Adjusted EBITDA, delivering on the promise we made to our investors earlier this year. While we celebrate these results in the UK, we look ahead to our next objective to establish a strong presence in the UK's B2C market.

InPost Group

In Q3 2023, Group volumes reached 210.4 million parcels (+18% YoY), with a 28% YoY increase in the international markets and a 13% YoY increase in Poland. The Group's total network of out-of-home points reached 61,873, and the number of APMs amounted to 32,943 (+25% YoY). In Q3, the Group deployed 1,500 new APMs, with over 60% of those added outside of Poland.

Q3 2023 saw InPost generate total revenue of PLN 2,067.2 million (+22.3% YoY). The Group Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 639.4 million (+40.3% YoY), driven primarily by Poland's improved profitability as well as significantly lower losses in the international segment due to the profit generated by the UK market. Group EBIT in Q3 2023 was up by 74.9% YoY (59% on a LFL basis), and EBIT margin increased to 16.0% in Q3 2023 vs 11.2% a year earlier.6

Q3 2023's Group cash flow from operations reached PLN 519.8 million (+52.4% YoY). The Group generated positive FCF of PLN 310.9 million (FCF/Adj. EBITDA 49%), which was driven by a high FCF conversion in Poland. This led to a reduction in net debt/adjusted EBITDA to 2.6x as at the end of Q3 2023 (compared to 3.2x in Q4 2022).

Poland

Poland continued strong volume growth, reaching 140.4 million parcels in Q3 2023 (+13% YoY), albeit the end of the quarter saw softer market volumes especially in fashion. InPost's APM network continued to expand, reaching 21,227 APMs (+10% YoY), housing a total of over three million lockers (+72% YoY). Currently, 61% of the Polish population lives within a 7-minute walk from an InPost APM.7

In Q3 2023, Poland generated PLN 1,261.8 million of revenue (+24.1% YoY). Adjusted EBITDA stood at PLN 585.9 million (+31.1% YoY) with a margin of 46.4%, once again reflecting the positive impact of increased volumes, effective cost management, and repricing.

InPost continued to strengthen customer loyalty and to expand its user base. At the end of the quarter, we reached 17.6 million APM users, up by 8% YoY8 and

6 LFL excluding the effect of extension of useful life of APMs which has resulted in lower D&A charges

InPost app users reached 11.1 million (up by 19% YoY). InPost app remains top rated by consumers, with scores of 5.0 on AppStore and 4.9 on Google Play.

Recent market research® in Poland reveals that APMs are the preferred choice for online purchases for 82% of the respondents. Among these choices, InPost machines stand out as the most popular, accounting for 93% of preferences.

Mondial Relay10

Mondial Relay generated strong growth in Q3 2023, with volumes increasing to 53.2 million parcels (+10% YoY). This increase was mainly attributable to the significant contribution of the B2C segment (+24% YoY). Mondial Relay's volume increased at a faster pace than revenue in Q3, this was expected as while the operating leverage is allowing us to absorb the significant market inflation, we have made a conscious choice to not pass costs through to consumers as we strive to make meaningful market share gains.

After two quarters of contraction, Adjusted EBITDA stabilized in Q3 at PLN 60.8 million (+1.3% YoY), even in spite of continuing inflationary pressure and no price increases made in this year. Q3 margins also reflect the different product mix due to the shift from to-door to out-of-home (OOH) volumes, which has diluted revenue per parcel. As we move forward, we intend to maintain our OOH focus to create a clear difference in the Mondial Relay markets.

Mondial Relay's out-of-home network reached 24,834 points at the end of Q3 2023 (+23% YoY). The number of APMs almost tripled on a YoY basis, increasing volumes delivered via APMs in Q3 2023 by more than 3.5x compared with the previous year. APMs accounted for an impressive 17% of total Mondial Relay volumes in Q3, underscoring the importance at which we are increasing our network. In France, one third of the population now lives within a 7-minute walk from one of our APMs."

Our commitment to enhancing customer convenience is also shown by the continuing focus and improvement of our mobile application. Since its launch at the end of last year, the app has received over 790,000 downloads. The app's average rating in France has risen from a modest 2.9 at the end of 2022 to an notable 4.5 in AppStore and 4.2 in Google as at the end of Q3 2023.

UK and Italy

At the beginning of Q3 2023 InPost acquired a 30% equity stake in Menzies Distribution, to give us a new logistics partner for the UK market. This strategic move has already begun to unlock InPost's growth potential, evident in the strong increase in volume. In Q3 2023, in the UK, InPost volumes reached 13.4 million (+128% YoY), driven by parcels sent by individual customers (C2C) and returns. This led to significant revenue increase to PLN 125.2 million (+138.9% YoY).

In the Q3 2023, the UK recorded a profitable quarter in terms of Adjusted EBITDA, totalling PLN 11.3 million.12 This outcome was primarily driven by: i) the significant increase in volumes, ii) economies of scale and iii) an increased out of home (APMs and PUDOS) network which propelled the desired operating leverage. These factors, together with the positive effect of the operating leverage, boosted our Adjusted EBITDA per parcel to PLN 0.8 vs PLN -1.1 in Q2 2023 and PLN -4.6 in Q3 202213.

InPost's UK network continued to grow, reaching 5,710 APMs (+32% YoY), with the number of lockers growing even faster (+54% YoY) thanks to extensions and deployment of larger machines. In order to increase density, we started to add PUDO points to our network in the UK (1,160 at the end of Q3). We have increased our coverage of the UK's core cities14 and now 51% of population has an average walking distance of just 7 minutes to reach an InPost out-of-home point in these cities.

In Italy, our out-of-home network expanded to 5,283 (+48% YoY), which was accompanied by a very strong increase in volume to 3.4 million parcels in Q3 2023, 5x compared to the same time last year. Revenue generated by Italy increased to PLN 43.7 million, 6x compared to the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q3 2023 reduced to PLN -4.4 million from PLN -12.1 million in Q3 2022.

Outlook FY 2023 & Q4 trading update

Market E-
commerce
volume growth
We expect (i) high single to low double-digit market volume growth in
Poland, (ii) Mondial Relay market to stagnate (iii) mid-single digit market
parcel volume decline in the UK.
Group Volume
and
Revenue growth
We expect to outperform market growth in our core geographies (Poland,
Mondial Relay markets and the UK) and grow our market share as a result
of (i) our strategic advantage in terms of convenience and sustainability (ii)
advantage in terms of cost efficiencies for our merchants, in a context of
continued inflation challenges.
We expect visibly higher increase in revenue vs volumes in Poland and the
UK as a result of the changes to product mix and pricing adjustments we
made at the end of 2022 and at the beginning of 2023. In Mondial Relay
changes in product mix and strategy focused on capturing volumes will
imply revenue growth rates to remain visibly below volume growth.
Adjusted
EBITDA
and Adjusted
EBITDA margin
Our Adjusted EBITDA margin in Poland is expected to visibly expand in the
FY 2023 due to price adjustments made at the end of 2022 and across 2023
despite of continued cost inflation.
In Mondial Relay we will see margin contraction vs FY2022 as a result of
continued investment into network capacity and market share gains as well
as price dilution while managing rising costs due to labour inflation and
investment into scale.
In the United Kingdom, we expect continued positive adjusted EBITDA
profitability for the remainder of 2023 and to be profitable on a full-year basis
in 2024.
Capex & APM
network
expansion
We will continue to consolidate our leadership footprint, by focusing on
increasing density and proximity of our APM network in Poland, and by
keeping developing our presence in France and the United Kingdom.
We expect total capex to amount to c.a. PLN 1.0-1.1 billion (ex- M&A
expenditures) in 2023 with increased weight of international markets' capex.
Debt levels
and Leverage
We expect positive FCF at year end.
We expect to keep net leverage in the Q4 2023 visibly reduced vs 2022YE.
Q4 2023 trading As we look forward to Q4 2023, we are encouraged by the strong trading
start of Q4 after soft Q3 end and anticipate that the YoY Group volume
growth in Q4 will be in line with the YoY volume growth achieved in Q3 2023.
