1 Like-for-like (LfL) figures throughout this release exclude Mondial Relay which InPost acquired in July 2021
2 Adjusted EBITDA facilitates period comparisons by removing the impact of expenses arising from the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) or any other employee incentive plans that will follow and costs related to certain material transactions such as IPO, M&A or restructuring processes, which the management of the Croup considers not related to day to day operations.
by continued expansion in this market since the acquisition of Mondial Relay in July 2021
ം UK – up 225% YoY vs market decline by an estimated -7%, as returns have increased significantly, and as customers are attracted by the added convenience and environmental benefits of labelless returns and the indoor APMs
Customer experience and strategic highlights
- Today 15.8 million people in Poland are using InPost APMs, up 14% YoY
- · Over 24,000 APMs across InPost's network housing over 3.1 million lockers, with an average of around 30 new APMs being introduced each business day in the period, enabling more people to use our services in an even more convenient way
- Poland growth of 12% since the end of 2021 (FY21) taking total number of APMs in InPost's core market to more than 18,400
- France growth of 223% since FY21 to over 1,000 APMs, reflecting the acquisition of Mondial Relay, providing an excellent platform for international expansion
- o UK growth of 25% since FY21 to almost 4,000 APMs evidences rapid growth in this attractive market
- · Major progress in first year of Mondial Relay in France, with a milestone threshold of 1,000th APM deployed, brand refresh, operational enhancements via new depots and 2.6 thousand new merchants added. New customer service improvements announced - a mobile app and an express delivery service (D+1)
- · Continued innovation in the period with labelless returns, screenless APMs, EcoBox and ECOreturns being introduced across parts of the network, improving customer experience and environmental impacts
Outlook
- Maintain confidence in ability to make further gains in market share across core geographies in the second half of the year, and longer term
- · Reflecting the current macroeconomic context and a slowing in consumer spending, remain cautious about sector volume growth rates and potential implications on margins
- Reflecting InPost's continuing market share gains, full year 2022 volume and margin guidance remains unchanged
- Long-term outlook remains very strong as consumers respond to the ease and convenience of using InPost's service and merchants increasingly value the cost and environmental benefits of InPost for their delivery needs. Momentum is growing as InPost seeks to redefine the consumer experience, economics and sustainability of Europe's e-commerce last mile
The first half of this year has seen InPost make strides across our core markets as we continue to demonstrate the benefits of our highly convenient and efficient last mile e-commerce logistics solution to consumers and merchants.
We saw accelerated market share gains in all our core markets in Q2. In Poland, the number of parcels sent using InPost APMs grew by 20%, despite market-wide growth more than halving to 7%. This strong performance is against a competitive backdrop with alignment of minimum order value between to-door services and lockers taking place, demonstrating the key drivers behind consumers' choice in lockers is convenience and satisfaction, rather than cost. In France, our strong position within C2C marketplaces allowed us to outgrow the e-commerce parcel market by a remarkable 31 p.p. in Q2. In the UK, the strong performance of our differentiated returns offering for merchants helped to more than triple volumes in Q2 compared with the same period in 2021. In France and the UK we continue to work towards launching next day delivery; an exciting development which is expected to increase our B2C last mile presence in both markets.
As we expand our networks and improve consumer proximity to InPost APMs, we drive a flywheel of higher convenience, satisfaction, and greater intensity of usage. In our home market of Poland, over 48% of the adult population now use InPost services, with 58% of the population being within 7-minutes' walk of an APM, and 47% just 5-minutes' walk away. This proximity and convenience is at the core of InPost being the leading e-commerce enabler, and drives high satisfaction levels and increased usage amongst customers. The net promoter score (NPS) of APMs in Poland is 77 points above traditional to-door logistics peers.
Whilst we remain cautious about the outlook for the Polish consumer sector due to the significant current global macro challenges, we remain extremely confident in our ability to continue gaining market share while mitigating the impact of inflation in Poland as the benefit of pricing adjustments begins to be felt in H2.
l am excited by the momentum we are gaining as we extend our solution to more and more consumers and merchants. As a leading player in the automation ofe-commerce last mile, I am confident that we are well positioned to execute our strategy and to extend our transformational last mile model from Poland to other leading European markets.
OUR THREE KEY MARKETS
Poland: extraordinary market outperformance with volume growth close to three times ahead of the Polish parcel market
In Poland, where the density of InPost APMs makes the country one of the world's most energy efficient last mile ecommerce markets, the Company saw an acceleration in parcel volumes of 20% in Q2 (vs 16% in Q1) to 122.8 million parcels. In H1, volumes grew by 18%, reaching 234.9 million. As a result, InPost outperformed the Polish e-commerce parcel market by close to three times, as overall market growth slowed to 7% in Q2, from 15% in Q1. The strength of InPost's performance was primarily driven by agreements with new merchants, strong growth in volumes from existing customers and a 14% YoY rise in the number of new APM users to 15.8 million. These factors collectively reaffirm InPost's positioning as the leading e-commerce enabler in Poland.
By the end of Q2, InPost's B2C parcel market share was over 48% (up from 46% in Q1)3, despite an increase in competitor locker deployment in the same period. This outperformance was mainly driven by a 36% YoY growth in InPost's non-Allegro channel (Allegro channel's growth was 6%). While the market outperformance is unlikely to be sustainable at such a high rate, InPost still expects to continue gaining market share. This expectation is driven by InPost's successful offering, which provides a solution for merchants to counter inflation pressures, the benefit of rising usage among existing InPost customers, and the continued expansion of the APM user base in Poland.
Despite rising competition, InPost continues to account for 78% of all APMs in Poland. Larger sized machines have allowed for productivity improvements due to an increased number of lockers per APM. As a result, InPost accounts for 91% of all locker compartments in the country. As InPost customers and app users tend to stick to their preferred lockers, InPost machines continue to show strong volume growth even when located in areas where there are competitor lockers.
As a result of its success in the B2C market, InPost's latest APM net promoter score (NPS) was confirmed at 75 vs a sector average of -2, representing the widest customer satisfaction gap seen to date.
3 Market growth estimated by the Company based on Statistics Poland reports
The number of InPost APMs in Poland reached 18,418, with an increase of 1,973 in H1. The densification of the network, which has led to an increase in consumer usage, has brought the percentage of Poland's population within a 7-minute walk of an InPost locker to 58% (vs 53% at the end of H1 2021), with 47% being just 5 minutes from an InPost APM (vs 41% at the end of H1 2021). InPost data shows that as locker users move from an existing InPost APM to a closer new InPost APM, their intensity of usage rises meaningfully.
While inflation continued to put pressure on margins, a marked improvement was delivered in Q2 due to an improvement in productivity, and price increases on uncontracted volumes. Our ability to increase prices demonstrates our competitive strength and customer loyalty compared to more costly and less differentiated to-door providers.
InPost expects to see continued improvement in productivity and mitigation of inflation pressures as pricing adjustments for contracted merchants will start to materialise in Q4.
France: strong C2C driven outperformance, poised for B2C market share gains
InPost's operation in France, branded Mondial Relay, was acquired in July 2021. It achieved its third consecutive quarter of substantial outperformance of the overall market. Parcel volumes in Q2 increased by 7% comparing favourably to the French e-commerce market which declined by an estimated 24% Yo Yt.
This result reflects Mondial Relay's highly competitive cost offering, strong C2C growth, merchant response to our cost pressures, and new APM contributions to volumes. As InPost continues to deploy APMs in France, these factors will all contribute to the alignment of the French business with InPost's Polish model, where its exceptional standards of delivery experience and quality and its enduser centric model have already demonstrated a track record of success.
On the B2C side, there are significant opportunities through the recent brand refresh, the announced launch of Mondial Relay's consumer-focused mobile app
4 Salesforce, The Shopping Index: Global online shopping statistics and ecommerce growth trends, accessed on 18.07.2022 (https://www.salesforce.com/resources/research-reports/shopping-index/)
and improvements to client experience through high levels of service quality. Mondial Relay's accelerated deployment of lockers is only just beginning to contribute to growth of the business. Its investment in new depots and capacity optimisation will allow the introduction of next day delivery services (branded Mondial Relay Express) by the end of 2022. These factors present exciting opportunities to grow market share from the c. 7% share held when Mondial Relay was acquired.
InPost is accelerating automation in France to enhance standardisation, simplicity, and satisfaction of Mondial Relay's existing out-of-home customer base. The number of APMs reached 1,012, more than three times higher than the start of 2022 (and up from zero at the time of Mondial Relay's acquisition). With such a large pre-existing out-of-home customer base, InPost retains substantial scope to accelerate automation, and to improve the customer experience. Due to this, an above-market B2C growth among Mondial Relay's existing customer base is expected, presenting a significant medium-term opportunity.
Performance indicators for the new French APMs remain encouraging: the average dwell time of a package in an InPost locker was only 7 hours vs 22 hours in a pick-up-drop-off point ("PUDO"). This demonstrates the greater potential of locker vs PUDO capacity utilisation and, more importantly, the improved customer experience of using lockers vs PUDO. French customer use of our APMs is already tracking that of our 2019 Polish cohort.
UK: strong growth in InPost's differentiated returns offering
From its relatively smaller position in the UK, InPost grew its volumes by 225% in Q2 against the backdrop of an e-commerce market that declined by an estimated 7% in the same period". This significant growth has been driven by strong growth in merchant partners and InPost's increasingly differentiated returns offering which led to a seven times greater volume of returns being handled by InPost in Q2 compared with the same quarter last year.
InPost continued to expand its merchant penetration in the UK, leveraging its differentiated cost-effective and consumer-friendly returns offering, with notable additions including River Island and I Saw It First. InPost's average quarterly Trustpilot score rose from 4.26 in Q2 2021 to a public score of 4.5 as of mid-August 2022, due to the standardisation and subsequent consumer
satisfaction of InPost labelless APM returns vs traditional returns. During Q2, significant progress was made in improving the courier network, transitioning from an incumbent logistics supplier model to a dedicated white label supplier model. Having dedicated InPost couriers (rather than third party couriers) will allow for greater locker specialisation and quality control.
Unlike Mondial Relay which is automating the experience of an existing out-of-home consumer base, in the UK InPost is a pure APM operator that competes more directly with to-door incumbents to win share. InPost's strategy has accordingly focused on simplifying the return of goods by consumers to UK fashion merchants, something that to-door operators cannot do. Together with the inflationary and environmental pressures that merchants are currently facing, InPost's strong returns traction with UK merchants and consumers presents a significant opportunity to transition to be a last mile collection service.
In the UK, where the Company's strategy is entirely focused on APMs, the focus continues to be on locations with high footfall. The number of APMs at the end of H1 reached 3,935 units, up 109% YoY. In the major city locations of London, Birmingham and Manchester an average of 45% of the population can walk to an InPost locker within 7 minutes.
Part of the solution - a sustainable and differentiated proposition
InPost's mission centres around providing economical and sustainable solutions for the e-commerce last mile. The Company's APMs offer merchants the industry's most scalable, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solution to substantially reduce energy related cost and pollution associated with last mile deliveries. This remains a significant point of differentiation for merchants compared to the incumbent logistics competitors.
The environmental benefits of APMs, compared with to-door solutions are significant. Just one APM in Poland reduces CO2 emissions by 53kg daily8 equivalent to planting 3,000 trees. With more than 18,400 InPost APMs now in use in Poland, that is the equivalent of 55.2 million trees. In 2021, 54 million litres

of fuel were saved through the use of lockers vs to-door deliveries and each parcel sent via locker can reduce emissions by up to 75%.
In addition to InPost services leading to dramatic falls in the resource required for merchants to get their product to consumers, InPost's own business has ambitious Science Based Targets, committing the Company to carbon neutrality by 2025 (scope 1 & 2) and by 2040 (scope 3). By 2024, 100% of InPost's packaging in its operations will be sourced from recycled materials. In Q2, new initiatives included testing for reusable packaging for locker deliveries, instant labelless locker returns via the app and screenless APMs. This last initiative reduces both the energy consumption required to operate APMs and the raw material and electronic component intensity needed to manufacture them. InPost's EcoBox provides consumers with the option to receive their parcel in eco-friendly packaging and return it, via InPost lockers, to be reused. Another InPost initiative designed to reduce waste and support environmental goals is ECOreturns, through which people can pass on unwanted possessions, such as small electrical items or clothing, to have a second life.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS for Q2 and six months ended 30 June 2022
Group highlights
- · In Q2, the Group delivered 179.9 million parcels, up 73% YoY, or 23% on a LfL basis. In H1, the total parcel volume increased by 70% to 344.1 million vs 202.0 million in H1 2021
- · In Q2, Group revenue increased by 97.8% to PLN 1,696.5 million. On a LfL basis, excluding Mondial Relay, revenue grew by 22.6%. Overall, in H1, the growth in Group revenue was 96.2%, reaching PLN 3,238.6 million. On a LfL basis, revenue grew by 20.7%, to PLN 1,992.7 million
- · In Q2 adjusted EBITDA margins were higher than Q1 in all core geographies, driven by further operating leverage, volume resilience and early impact of already applied price increases
- · In Q2, Group adjusted EBITDA rose by 41.0% to PLN 511.0 million, up 11.9% on a LfL basis. The LfL growth reflects adjusted EBITDA in Poland increasing by 15.1% and international losses of PLN 43.7 million in Italy and the UK combined. In H1, Group adjusted EBITDA increased by 32.5%, reaching PLN 920.1 million. On a LfL basis, the growth was 6.2%, to PLN 739.6 million
- In Q2 2022, the adjusted EBITDA margin was 30.1% vs 42.3% in Q2 2021 and 26.5% in Q1 2022, while in H1 2022 the margin stood at 28.4% vs 42.1% in H1 2021. On a LfL basis, the adjusted EBITDA margin was 38.8% vs 42.5% in Q2 2021 and 35.3% in Q1 2022, while in H1 2022 the margin was 37.1% vs 42.2% in H1 2021. As in Q1, the margin decline was due to inflationary pressures
- · Following the normalisation of the APM expansion in Poland, and the revenue outperformance, capital expenditure (capex) as a percentage of revenue fell to 16.1% in Q2 2022 vs 19.9% in Q2 2021 and 20.0% in Q1 2022. On a LfL basis, excluding Mondial Relay, capex as a percentage of revenue fell from 19.9% in Q2 2021 to 14.4% in Q2 2022. Consolidated expansion capex in H1 2022 amounted to PLN 567.1 million vs PLN 409.2 million of operating cashflow after maintenance capex
- • Net debt as at the end of H7 to 12-month trailing adjusted EBITDA, with a full trailing 12 months of Mondial Relay adjusted EBITDA, was 3.2x, as of
end H1. This modest rise reflected negative free cashflow after growth capex of PLN 157.9 million. Excluding the UK, the remainder of InPost was free cashflow positive after growth capex in H1 2022. InPost expects a degree of deleveraging by Q4 based on capex trends, contractual price adjustments and, customary seasonality of volumes in the fourth quarter
- · Net financial expenses rose from PLN 45.6 million in H1 2021 to PLN 79.1 million in H1 2022. Out of this, PLN 43.1 million were mainly due to Mondial Relay acquisition debt. The FX positive effect of PLN 52.5 million is caused by valuation effect of Borrowings (Bonds and Loans) denominated in PLN, incurred by InPost S.A. which functional currency is EUR thus due to depreciation of PLN, foreign exchange profit was recognized. Remaining change is attributable to higher rates on variable debt
- · In Q2, InPost's KPIs exceeded market consensus, with a 6.9% outperformance in volume, 4.1% in revenue and 18.2% in adjusted EBITDA
Segment highlights
Poland
- · Revenue increased by 17.4% to PLN 993.9 million in Q2, and by 17.0% to PLN 1,905.5 million in H1. APM revenue grew by 20.4% YoY in Q2, in line with the volume growth, displaying stable pricing. Overall segment revenue grew at a lower rate due to the impact of lower external APM sales to third parties and phasing out of legacy APM maintenance agreements. In H1, the 2-year compound growth of Polish revenue remained at 33.7%
- • Adjusted EBITDA grew by 15.1% in Q2 to PLN 451.3 million and by 11.6% to PLN 827.9 million in H1, nearly doubling the Q1 growth rate. In H1 2022, the 2-year adjusted EBITDA compound growth rate reached 40.6%. Adjusted EBITDA margin slightly decreased in Q2 2022 to 45.4% vs 46.3% in Q2 2021, and to 43.4% in H1 2022 vs 45.6% in H1 2021
Mondial Relay
• Revenue in Q2 grew by 5.1% YoY, reaching PLN 645.0 million, while the H1 growth rate was 4.2% with a total of PLN 1,245.9 million. The impact of the post-Covid normalisation and lower pricing for C2C, that had considerably reduced Mondial Relay's margins in Q1, became less pronounced in Q2
• • Mondial Relay's adjusted EBITDA margin fell from 20.7% in H1 2021 to 14.5% in H1 2022 (and from 22.2% in Q2 2021, before acquired by InPost, to 16.0% in Q2 2022) and 12.8% reported in Q1 2022. While the YoY margin decline was broadly similar to that in Q1, the quarterly improvement was mainly attributable to the last mile and linehaul cost optimisation, the rebate of higher fuel prices to merchants via fuel surcharge and some volume mix benefits. In line with lower adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA decreased by 24.1% in Q2 to PLN 103.4 million and by 27.0% in H1 to PLN 180.5 million
International
- · Revenue increased by 414.3% to PLN 57.6 million in Q2, and by 291.0% to PLN 87.2 million in H1, reflecting continued expansion in this market
- · Adjusted EBITDA fell in Q2 to PLN (43.7) million from PLN (27.9) million and to PLN (88.3) million from (45.8) million in H1
H2 2022 OUTLOOK
As anticipated and included in previous guidance, sector volume growth decelerated in Q2 across all main European markets, as rising inflation, economic slowdown and higher interest rates impacted consumer behaviour.
Management continues to expect Polish GMV growth of high teens to mid-twenties implying high single to low double-digit Polish market volume growth, with increased downside risk in H2 driven by weaker macroeconomic conditions. French and UK e-commerce markets are expected to have negative market volume growth in FY 2022.
With its structural differentiation, InPost is meaningfully outperforming sector volumes in all core markets and expects to continue to do so through the remainder of 2022, and in the longer term.
While InPost continues to see strong volume growth rates, Management remains cautious of a consumer slowdown in H2 2022 with potential impact on sector volume deceleration across Europe.
On margin guidance, previous communication as part of the full-year 2021 results release was that "most if not all" of adjusted EBITDA margin gains in Poland for 2021 were expected to reverse in 2022. Management retains this guidance, but notes that with the Adjusted EBITDA margin outperformance to date in Poland, and pending price adjustments, deceleration in the H2 2022 sector volumes would have to be significant for "all" margin gains to be reversed.
The Company continues to invest with a view to boosting density and strengthening its competitive moat in Poland, while aiming to gain market share as it redefines the last mile logistics in its international markets.
