Competitive positioning

We are leveraging Staci's unique capabilities in the market as a cornerstone of the 3PL Europe strategy

Flexibility

Market environment

The 3PL sector in Europe is undergoing significant transformation, driven by evolving client needs and technological advancements

Fully integrated offering

3PL providers are gaining prominence by offering comprehensive supply chain management services. They integrate various logistics functions, providing clients with a single point of contact for all their logistics needs.

Industry consolidation

Market environment

Six key factors are heavily impacting our BeNe Last Mile activities

Mail & press volume decline

  • Declining volumes due to digitization (-8% CAGR over last 5 years for mail)
  • Price increases insufficient to compensate volume decreases and cost inflation

Increasing cost base

  • Growing cost base mainly due to strong inflation
  • Strong impact on labour costs through automatic wage indexation in Belgium and bpost's significant workforce of ~24,800 FTEs in Belgium1

Decreasing governmental financial compensation & contracts

Governmental financial compensation and contracts are decreasing on multiple fronts:

  • Abolition of the historical press distribution contract
  • Loss of the contract for government "679"-accounts
  • Future risk of decrease on the scope and compensation for other services (e.g., retail management contract)

Growing e-commerce & competition

  • Continued growth of e-commerce market with significant remaining upside in domestic market
  • Growing competition from direct competitors and insourcing retailers (e.g., Amazon)

Increasing importance of customer satisfaction

  • Shifting consumer expectations towards higher convenience and quality across entire value chain
  • Opportunity to leverage bpost's unique positioning to better answer these needs, as evidenced by market leading NPS2

Parcelization of B2B

  • B2B market evolving towards more parcel-sized logistics
  • Opportunity for bpost to grow in this market leveraging parcel-sized logistics expertise

Challenges Neutral Opportunities

  1. Includes interim workers, excludes any corporate FTE based in Belgium

  2. Based on relational NPS, bpost scored highest amongst other logistics companies with >5% market share in Belgium

Capture operational efficiencies

We deliver operational efficiencies by moving from mail-driven to parcel-driven operations model

Operational efficiency initiatives

A. Review round structure and flows

  • For home delivery, maintain a joint mail & parcel delivery model, while aiming to adjust the mail service obligations (in dialogue with regulator) in line with declining volumes and customer expectations.
  • Reinforce the share of (new) dynamic dedicated parcel rounds (e.g., PUDO bulk rounds)
  • Adjust operational flows to meet parcel expectations, notably later cut-off times

B. Optimize asset utilization

  • Optimized asset utilization (sorting capacity, first/middle/last mile fleet)
  • Optimized investment program, notably continuing to invest in sorting capacity at the right time and right place following tangible growth prospects

C. Adapt workforce organization

  • Continue to rely on majority of own workforce, as a key differentiator for quality and customer intimacy
  • Continue to reorganize operational teams to reflect evolutions in volumes (in particular distribution offices)
  • Introduce more flexible organization models to better match the inherent variability of the parcel volumes

Capture operational efficiencies

Financial outlook

Shift from mail to new growth businesses, supported by ongoing efficiency gains

EBIT and margin trajectory reflect top-line mix transition and efficiency gains

Product mix

Lower compensation from governmental contracts and ongoing shift in product mix away from mail and press, towards X2C and B2B parcel volumes

Operational efficiencies

Three key initiatives to capture savings from operations:

Global Cross -border

Supporting growth through new lanes and maximizing value from existing assets

Global Cross-border overview

We support our customers in shipping their parcels and mail internationally and drive volume growth and bottom-line savings for all group entities

Global Cross-border overview

We operate from 25 facilities across 4 continents

€ 615m turnover

~8.5% CAGR over last 5 years ~80% Commercial in Europe, Asia and North America ~20% postal in and out Belgium

Fast growing market 1.5-2.0x

growth of e-commerce overall

Clear right to win on key lanes Competitive pricing Reliable "standard" transit time Qualitative delivery service

1,500 FTEs

Balance of own and temps (up to 2,000) Scale across peaks and economic cycles

Global Cross-border USPs

We are a value for money operator offering modular and flexible "deferred express" solutions, allowing us to compete both with the integrators (fast, more expensive) and the pure postal providers (slow, less reliable, less tracking)

Market environment

Our model allows us to seize market opportunities and be well equipped to face its most pressing challenges

  • New tariffs situation → Risk of long-term negative impact on global trade but also creates market uncertainty and volatility
  • Accelerated rise of platforms → Risk they set the rules of the game thanks to their size and lure consumers away from historical brands
  • Ongoing market consolidation → Risk to reduce our competitiveness on transport costs
  • Structural decline of the mail and postal business → structural decline of high margin business

Market trends Why we are best positioned

  • ✓ Global coverage makes us less exposed to local trends
  • ✓ Modular approach allows to adapt to changes in trade flows
  • ✓ Our asset light model allows us to quickly scale up / down
  • ✓ Multi-years' experience with platforms (we remain key partner) ✓ Diversify our customer base with mid-sized clients (e.g. Asia)
  • ✓ Leverage growth and assets of the group in existing & new lanes ✓ Next wave of inorganic growth can be through small acquisitions
  • ✓ Continuous development of products and services (e.g. digital, D2C)
  • ✓ Fast growth of cross-border parcels (1.5–2.0x faster than e-commerce)
  • ✓ Good resilience of cross-border mail

Strategic focus

Our two focus areas are to grow our volumes and increase Group efficiency in transportation

Maximize the Value of Trade Lanes

We maintain our strong position at key destinations (BE, CA, US) while extending our regional leadership in major European origin countries, thanks to our modular and flexible USP, our strong proprietary IT and our large network of commercial and postal transport partners

Return to profitable growth creating shareholder value

#Reshape2029 …

… is a transformation strategy with return to profitable growth creating shareholder value

Strategy 2024-2029

Within the broader transformation journey, bpostgroup sets a 2024-2027 financial trajectory as a 3-year intermediate milestone

bpostgroup top-line growth driven by logistics and cross-border expansion - with group total operating income expected to exceed € 5.0bn - supporting progressive EBIT1 recovery, with momentum expected to build from 2026 onward and leading to above € 275m in 2027

EBIT contribution profile shifting from legacy businesses to logistics, with 3PL emerging as the main growth driver post-transformation, Global Cross-border remaining solid, and BeNe Last Mile progressively repositioned

€ 160–180m annual capex, with ~50% allocated to growth areas supporting long-term profitability, customer experience, and sustainable value creation

A progressive and sustainable dividend policy is aimed for, with a pay-out ratio of 30-50% of IFRS net profit, with a clear focus on long-term value creation

Commitment to maintain investment-grade credit rating, with a clear deleveraging plan in place following the Staci acquisition, targeting a reduction of the leverage ratio to below 2.5x by 2027

3PL Europe

Outlook 2027

High-single-digit top-line CAGR1

  • Proven Staci growth model replicated across 3PL Europe, enabling fast roll-out, crossselling, and geographic expansion
  • Robust pipeline with scalable solutions across markets
  • Strong growth underpinned by a diversified client base across 6+ main industry verticals

EBIT margin of 11-13%

  • Supported by the integration of Staci, with best-in class margin profile in the logistics industry (>12%) and
  • Further gradual margin improvement at Radial and Active Ants
  • Operational efficiencies and cost synergies across the 3PL Europe network

1 2024 rebased to reflect 12-month contribution from Staci (c. €800m), vs. €338m over 5 months post-acquisition (August 2024) in reported results, to ensure like-for-like comparability. 2 EBIT not adjusted pro forma following Staci acquisition (August 2024), due to differing accounting standards

3PL North America

Outlook 2027

Flat to low-single-digit decline in top-line CAGR

  • Strong top-line contraction driven by announced client churn in 2024/25
  • Stabilization from 2026, with return to growth in 2027 supported by Radial Fast Track and market expansion into new verticals, with value-over-volume approach
  • Same-store sales expected to grow at low single-digit rates across a healthier, more diversified client base, providing increased resilience to market shifts

EBIT margin of 4-6%

  • EBIT margin gradually improves through 2027 following a low in 2025.
  • Margin recovery driven by Real Estate portfolio management (improved occupancy rates) and technology transformation.
  • Selective profitable top-line expansion

3PL – Europe and North America combined

Outlook 2027

Low- to mid-single-digit top-line CAGR1

  • Strong high single-digit growth1 driven by proven Staci growth model, successfully replicated across 3PL Europe.
  • Low single-digit decline in North America due to 2024/2025 client churn, largely offset by Radial Fast Track and market expansion into new verticals, with a valueover-volume strategy

EBIT margin of 8-10%

  • Supported by Staci (>12%) outperforming market standards
  • Margin recovery underway in North America
  • Continued gradual margin improvement at Radial and Active Ants

Global Cross-border

Outlook 2027

Mid-single-digit top-line CAGR

  • Strong growth in cross-border Europe & Asia, driven by solid commercial expansion offsetting structural volume decline in postal.
  • Modest growth in North America near-term, reflecting 2024 headwinds (overcapacity and increased competition) and tariff uncertainty delaying business decisions and commercial cycles

EBIT margin of 10-12%

  • Stable EBIT supported by top-line growth offsetting slight margin dilution from mix effects (postal decline vs. commercial expansion)
  • Transport savings from ongoing initiatives, with growing synergies over time

BeNe Last Mile

Outlook 2027

Top-line reconverging towards 2024 levels in 2027 EBIT margin of 2.5-3.5%

  • Revenue drop in 2026 due to end and retendering of State services ((679/ELP)
  • Structural decline in Mail revenue (Volume -HSD%; Price/Mix +LSD% including the end of the Press concession in June 2024)
  • Parcels X2C growth (Volume +MSD%; Price/Mix +LSD%) gradually supported by new B2B revenues,
  • Growth in Personalized logistics and domestic Cross-border volumes

  • Margin pressure in 2026 reflects top-line decline
  • Underlying shift in product mix with decreasing share of mail
  • Operational efficiencies including review of flows and distribution rounds, asset utilization, workforce organization
