Executive summary Q2 2024

  • Group volume increase: The Group's parcel volume reached 264.4 million, representing a significant YoY increase of 23%. Poland and InPost's international markets1 contributed to this growth, recording YoY improvements of 20% and 29%, respectively.
  • Group revenue growth: The Group delivered another quarter of substantial revenue growth, reaching PLN 2,623.0 million and marking a 22.5% YoY improvement. Particularly robust performances have been observed in Poland and the UK, as well as in the B2C segment in the Mondial Relay markets.
  • Significant Adjusted EBITDA increase: Group Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 887.3 million in Q2 2024, representing an increase of 28.6% YoY, primarily driven by Poland. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 33.8%, a rise of 160bps compared with Q2 2023. This has mainly been attributed to the international part of the business.
  • Positive FCF and further deleverage: InPost achieved positive FCF of PLN 367.3 million at the Group level in H1 2024. In Poland, FCF amounted to PLN 623.4 million in H1 2024, corresponding to a 44% FCF/Adjusted EBITDA conversion (41% a year ago). This strong performance has allowed for the financing of the Group's rapid expansion in the rest of Europe. The Group's net leverage decreased to 1.95x at the end of Q2 2024 from 2.22x at the end of 2023.
  • Poland's volume above-market growth at a sequentially strong margin: In Poland, during Q2 2024, the InPost volume was 170.4 million parcels, up by 20% YoY, above the pace of the e-commerce market volume. 2 The Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 730.2 million (+18% YoY), with margins remaining strong and in line with outlook.
  • Mondial Relay strong B2C and improved margins: Mondial Relay parcel volume amounted to 64.9 million (+9% YoY), primarily driven by a further dynamic increase in the B2C segment (+21% YoY). Mondial Relay Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 17.0% (excl. one-offs) from 13.3% a year ago on the back of scale, product mix effect and operational improvements.
  • More than doubling volumes in the UK and Italy: In the UK and Italy segment, InPost successfully delivered 29.1 million parcels in Q2 2024 (+119% YoY). Both markets recorded another profitable quarter on the Adjusted EBITDA level. For the total segment, Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 31.8 million in Q2 2024 (10.4% Adjusted EBITDA margin) compared with a loss of PLN 24.0 million a year earlier.
  • Trading update Q3: So far, in Q3 2024, we see continued volume growth of c. 20% at the Group level, with volume in Poland growing in the mid to high teens and total international volume growing at a similar rate to Q2 2024.

Countries included: France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Rafał Brzoska, Founder and CEO of InPost Group, commented:

In Q2 2024, we delivered another set of strong operational and financial results. At the Group level, we once again reported strong above-market volumes, revenue and profits. We are accelerating our APM network expansion. Last quarter, we set a new record for locker deployments, with 3,000 new APMs.

In Poland, we focus on quality, and we remain the market leader3 with the best user experience and customer reviews in the sector. In Mondial Relay, we have continued to grow quickly in the B2C space, despite the market challenges, and we have started to deliver on our guided margin improvement. In the UK, our fastest growing market, we have accelerated our growth compared with Q1 2024. We are improving network utilization, and our app was among the top 10 most downloaded lifestyle apps in the UK many times this year.

We remain consistent in executing our strategy for each market and continue to focus on our expansion while maintaining the cost discipline.

Poland: Strong results driven by volume growth and good cost management

In Q2 2024, our parcel volumes in Poland reached 170.4 million (+20% YoY). As in previous quarters, we outpaced the domestic e-commerce market growth. APM volumes improved by 15% YoY which was driven by all segments, with marketplaces and fashion growing at the fastest pace. 'To-door' deliveries grew dynamically by 50%, driven by international marketplaces.

The revenue generated in Poland in Q2 2024 was 22.0% higher YoY and reached PLN 1,578.9 million due to higher volume YoY and a single-digit price adjustment effect. The Adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 730.2 million (+18.0% YoY). This translates into a 46.2% margin, slightly higher compared with Q1 2024, slightly lower year-onyear on the high base, yet fully in line with our 2024 outlook.

The strength of our Polish business was also reflected in FCF generation. FCF for the first half of 2024 amounted to PLN 623.4 million (+31.9% YoY), and FCF conversion reached 44% (compared with 41% in H1 2023). In Poland, this highly cash-generative business model is expected to continue to provide the Group with the necessary financial funds to fuel its international expansion.

In the first half of 2024, capital expenditures in Poland totalled PLN 266.0 million, representing a 5% increase compared with the previous year. Most of these investments were allocated to network and IT development. Capex intensity decreased to 9%, compared with 10% in the same period last year.

InPost continued its network development in Poland, reaching a total of 23,470 APMs (+14% YoY) with 1,500 machines added in the last six months. This maintains our undisputed leading position in Poland in terms of network density. Currently, 62% of the Polish population lives within a seven-minute walk from an InPost APM and, in urban areas, this accessibility extends to 88%.

Continued expansion has led to more APM users, the number rising to 18.6 million at the end of Q2 2024. Our top-rated mobile app, a key tool in enhancing customer experience, has reached 12.6 million users.

Mondial Relay: Gaining market share while improving margins

In Q2 2024, Mondial Relay's parcel volumes reached 64.9 million (+9% YoY), significantly outperforming the e-commerce market, which saw a decline of 1%. 10 Our strategic focus on the returns and B2C segment has resulted in a 21% YoY increase in volumes. Delivery to lockers was a key driver of this growth, with APMs parcel volumes more than doubling compared with the same period last year.

Mondial Relay's total revenue for Q2 2024 was PLN 738.9 million, reflecting a 3.3% YoY increase in reporting currency, and 9% YoY in local currency, which is in line with the volume increase. Adjusted EBITDA was PLN 125.3 million, which is up by 31.6% YoY. The strong increase in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by volume growth, positive product mix effect, operational improvements and well-controlled SG&A costs (excluding one-offs).

In Mondial Relay, we consistently focus on building scale, enhancing consumer trust, improving logistics quality and increasing network density. By the end of Q2 2024, our OOH points surpassed 29,000, representing a 22% YoY increase. Our APM network grew by 80%, now comprising over 7,200 machines. As such, Mondial Relay remains the largest APM network in France with over 33% of the French population having a Mondial Relay locker within a seven-minute walking distance.

Mondial Relay has retained the highest NPS in the market. Simultaneously, our recent survey shows that post-delivery satisfaction11 now exceeds 70. The mobile app saw a surge in popularity, with over 2.1 million downloads reached. 12

Other international markets: Volume expansion in network growth and customer adoption, accompanied by improvements in margins

In Q2 2024, UK parcel volumes continued to accelerate rapidly, increasing by 163% YoY to 23.6 million. While C2C and returns remain the largest part of the volume in the UK, we have also managed to expand the B2C MVP13 offer pilot, with a very positive reception from customers and merchants alike. Revenue in the UK market tripled to PLN 236.7 million in Q2 2024 compared with Q2 2023 and has increased on the back of the product mix, supported by rapid network expansion and logistics improvements.

InPost's UK network expanded to over 9,600 OOH points (+58% YoY). This includes 7,502 locker machines, solidifying InPost's position as the leading APM network in the UK. More importantly, so far this year, our capacity to deploy more lockers accelerated every month, and we added over 670 machines in Q2 alone.

In Italy, parcel volumes rose to 5.5 million (+28% YoY) in Q2 2024, with revenues reaching PLN 68.5 million, representing a 34.3% YoY increase. This growth was driven by B2C volumes and marketplaces. The OOH network in Italy expanded to over 7,600 points (+37% YoY), including 2,400 APM units.

Adjusted EBITDA for the total segment in other international markets improved to PLN 31.8 million, compared with a loss of PLN 24.0 million in Q2 2023. The segment Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 10.4%, with a QoQ improvement of 6.2% compared with Q1 2024, from a negative figure in Q2 2023.
