�� Rafał Brzoska, Founder and CEO of InPost Group: In 2022, InPost has continued to build on our positive momentum, with significant growth in each of our key markets. This dynamic expansion and market share gain prove the effectiveness of our business model, and its resilience against what has been a challenging e-commerce backdrop. InPost's international expansion in 2022 has given us a solid foundation to build a truly pan-European business.

In Poland we remain the leader and are continuing to expand our market share. In our international markets we are in a similar position to where we were in Poland a handful of years ago. We are focusing on building awareness, convenience, density and improving operations, and are seeing the effectiveness of our 'flywheel' strategy once again.

In 2023 we are determined to keep transforming the e-commerce landscape across Europe, driving our sustainability agenda, and delivering the leading customer proposition in the market."

Outlook

In 2023, we have three key focus areas:

  • · exceeding market volume growth in Poland while expanding margins;
  • · increasing profitability in Mondial Relay, improving operational performance and gaining more B2C market share; and
  • resolving logistics challenges in the UK, to enable B2C market share growth and continue to grow well ahead of the market.

So far in Poland we have seen the e-commerce market slowing down³ and we expect mid to high single digit growth in market volumes during 2023. As in previous years, we have the ambition to grow ahead of our competitors and to keep gaining market share. In terms of profitability, we continue to see cost inflation, however in contrast to 2022, we believe that the positive impact of the repricing process and of volume growth will result in an expansion on the adjusted EBITDA margin in 2023.

In France, we are focusing on improving our operational efficiencies, especially in terms of KPI delivery, and on gaining B2C market share. Given continued visible consumer weakness, we anticipate mid to high single digit volume growth in the e-commerce market in 2023. We expect Mondial Relay's volumes to grow ahead of the market. In terms of profitability, we anticipate a step up in the adjusted EBITDA margin.

In the UK, our priority for 2023 is to resolve logistics bottlenecks, and consequently improve the quality and reliability of our service. This will act as a key lever to build engagement amongst consumers and merchants, ultimately allowing us to gain market share in the B2C segment and improve margins in the medium to long term. We expect adjusted EBITDA in the UK to reach breakeven by the end of 2023 on a run rate basis and to be profitable on a full year basis in 2024.

For the whole Group we expect total capex to account for PLN 1.1 – 1.2 billion in 2023, most of which will be invested to support growth in international markets. This, combined with high operating cash flow conversion in Poland, should result in positive free cash flow in FY 2023 and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improvement at the end of the year.

So far in Q1 2023, despite signs of a slow down in consumer spending, the same trend has not been observed in our volumes. Our parcel volumes in Poland have

3 Company estimate based on Statistics Poland reports

continued to grow at a double-digit rate. France is experiencing slightly slower growth than Poland, but this is still double digits YoY, and the other markets are showing similar growth dynamics to those seen in 2022. We remain cautious but encouraged by our business resilience in the face of the consumer slowdown and are looking forward to 2023 with enthusiasm.

All in all, Q1 trading reinforces our conviction around ability to achieve the volume and market share ambitions.

Poland: Strengthening a leading position

Q4 2022 results

In Poland, InPost had a successful peak season in 2022 with total volumes reaching 149.4 million parcels in Q4 2022 (+18% YoY). This growth was driven by an increase in demand for both our APM and to-door services and was above the wider e-commerce market growth (11% YoY in Q4 2022 in Poland)4. InPost in Poland grew by 18% in volumes in Q4 2022 against the backdrop of the market which grew by 11%.

In Q4 2022, revenue in Poland reached PLN 1,267.4m, +23.9% compared to Q4 2021. The stronger increase in revenue vs volume growth reflected the effect of InPost's repricing which occurred throughout the whole of Q4 2022 and into Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA in Poland stood at PLN 544.5m (+17.0% YoY) while the adjusted EBITDA margin was at 43.0%, only a slight decrease compared to 45.5% in Q4 2021, despite continued inflationary pressure on logistic costs.

FY 2022 results

2022 has been another record-breaking year for the business in Poland. Our volumes reached record highs of 508.4m (+20% YoY) and, as in previous years, allowed us to increase our market share in the domestic e-commerce parcel market to 43% in 2022. This reflects the status of our network as the most convenient, flexible and consumer-focused form of last-mile delivery. We expanded our network of APMs in Poland by 17% YoY, to 19,306 machines with 2.9 million lockers. In urban areas of Poland, 85% of the population already has an InPost APM within 7-minutes' walking distance (59% of the total population).

In 2022, InPost generated PLN 4.2bn of revenue, up 21.6% YoY in Poland. Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 1.8bn and was 14.3% higher compared to 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin in 2022 amounted to 43.3%, compared to 46.1% in 2021. In an environment of almost flat revenue per parcel YoY (repricing effect came in late Q4 2022) and double-digit inflation, the slight decline in adjusted EBITDA margin proves the resilience of our business model to the challenging macro environment. In the full year 2022, our Polish business generated PLN 673.7m of free cash flow (FCF) with very strong 37% FCF/adjusted EBITDA conversion rate.

4 Company estimate based on Statistics Poland reports

FCF generated in the domestic market was invested mainly to fund expansion in InPost's international markets.

InPost has strengthened customer loyalty and increased the number of users. At the end of 2022 almost half of the Polish population had used InPost services (16.8 million). Furthermore, together with the growing number of users, our NPS (Net Promoter Score) remains at the highest level among peers (81)5. InPost app has almost 10m active users and stays highly rated with 5.0 score at AppStore and 4.9 at Google Play.

Mondial Relay: building density and logistics capacity

Q4 2022 results

Mondial Relay was acquired by InPost in June 2021 and has been consolidated in the Group financials since H2 2021. Mondial Relay is a leading out-of-home logistics operator active in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and Luxemburg. In Q4 2022, the business grew dynamically with volumes increasing to 64.7 million (+29% YoY). This was driven mainly by France with the other markets also positively contributing to the total Mondial Relay volumes. In France, the volume increase was a result of the re-launch of Mondial Relay brand, with the new and improved quality and further adoption of the growing APM network.

In Q4 2022, Mondial Relay revenues amounted to PLN 811.8 million (+30.5% YoY), which was driven by the growth in the C2C segment. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to PLN 90.1 million, a decrease of 12.9% vs Q4 2021, mainly due to additional peak season investments necessary to maintain delivery promise in the context of extraordinary peak volume demand.

FY 2022 results

In 2022, Mondial Relay reported very robust volume growth at +21% YoY®, significantly outperforming the e-commerce market.' It successfully delivered 213.2 million parcels thanks to our increasingly dense out-of-home delivery

network and the investment in operations. As part of our strategy to strengthen our position in the region, we increased the number of pick-up and drop-off points (PUDOs) to 19,446 (from 17,666 PUDOs at the end of 2021) and the number of APMs to 2,564 from only 313 machines at the end of 2021.

In FY 2022, Mondial Relay's total revenue reached PLN 2.7 billion and increased by 17.4% YoY. Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 330.6m, decreasing by 18.1% YoY due to: i) profitability normalization after the pandemic peak demand tapering, ii) new pricing mix connected with increasing volumes in C2C segment, iii) investments in APM network and logistics, as well as iv) expenses related to building SG&A capabilities to support further growth.

In France, we are rapidly expanding the number of customers, increasing merchant adoption and accelerating APM roll-out. In 2022, almost 5,000 new merchants chose to work with InPost. In the third quarter of 2022 we successfully launched our mobile app, which was downloaded around 350,000 times.

The early rates of consumer adoption, as shown by the ramp-up of the APM utilization is very promising and visibly stronger than what we saw in Poland at the similar level of APM solution maturity. APMs installed 6 months ago are reaching a utilization level of 40% to 50%. After a successful brand refresh, we noted a record high brand awareness level of 84%. In 2022 we significantly improved our logistic capabilities by opening new sorting hubs and depots, which are allowing us to get closer to delivery points enabling us to improve our delivery promise.

International segment: Proof of concept

Q4 2022 results

In Q4 2022 in the UK, we achieved a significant increase in volumes (+82% YoY) against a backdrop of a declining e-commerce market in the same period (-7% YoY). This boost in volumes has been driven by an unprecedented demand for locker-to-locker services and increase in the volume of returns (4x more YoY) as well as in the rentals volumes (+133% YoY). This was enabled by the growth in our

network, that reached 4.8 thousand APMs at the end of 2022 compared with 3.2 thousand at the end of 2021. At the end of 2022 c. 47% of the population in London, Manchester and Birmingham was within 7-minutes' walking distance to one of our APMs.

Revenues in the UK in Q4 2022 increased to PLN 52.3 million (+70.4% YoY), while adjusted EBITDA loss in Q4 2022 amounted to PLN 29.1 million. In the same timeframe, our adjusted EBITDA per parcel considerably improved (from -PLN 8.3 in Q4 2021 to -PLN 4.5 in Q4 2022).

In Italy, we significantly increased volumes to 1.6 million parcels in Q4 2022 (from 0.1 million in Q4 2021), as well as revenue, which grew to PLN 18.6 million (from PLN 0.9 million). The main driver was the network expansion as the number of lockers tripled in Q4 2022 compared to Q4 2021.

FY 2022 results

During 2022 volumes in the UK reached 20.5 million parcels (+151% YoY), driven by increased consumer awareness of the InPost offering and facilitated by our growing out-of-home network. In 2022, we deployed a total of 1,685 new APMs, significantly improving the country's population coverage. Furthermore, in 2022 we observed the consistent growth in the number of unique customers, both for returns and C2X® segment, as well as high levels of repeat customers. Throughout the year, our APMs were used by 2 million unique customers, 46% of which used the service more than once.

In 2022, InPost saw exceptional demand for its services in the UK to the extent that capacity was constrained creating logistics challenges which resulted in the decision to cap volumes. The unprecedented customer uptake is in our view a clear confirmation that there is a strong demand for a high quality automated out of home delivery service. With that proof of concept provided we see a tremendous opportunity in the UK, and we are focused on resolving the capacity bottlenecks so we can fully exploit the potential the market offers.

In 2022, UK revenues amounted to PLN 175.5m (+163.9% YoY). In absolute terms, adjusted EBITDA losses have increased to PLN 126.7m from PLN 90.3m driven by

10 Consumer-to -business and consumer-to-consumer

the scale of operations while unit economics continued to improve. Adjusted EBITDA per parcel improved from -PLN 11.0 in 2021 to -PLN 6.2 in 2022 partially due to the change in the volume composition, due to the growing role of lockerto-locker, returns and rentals out of total volumes.

In Italy, in 2022 we focused on building up operations, as in 2021 our business there was at the seed stage and based purely on rentals. Last year we invested in our network of PUDO points and APMs. As a result, in 2022 we recorded a significant increase in parcel volumes to 2.8m from 0.2m in 2021, as well as a growth in revenues to PLN 32.1m in 2022 vs PLN 2.3m in 2021.
