On 2 December 2010, TNT announced its decision – subject to shareholder approval – to separate its Mail and Express activities. As a result of this decision, accounting standards require TNT NV to publish full year 2010 results and subsequent reports anticipating the demerger of Express in a new reporting structure.
The most important changes are:
To facilitate comparison with previously presented published numbers, 'previous reporting structure' will in some instances be shown.
The tables below provide an overview of the Q4 and FY 2010 underlying results as they would have been reported under the 'previous reporting structure' and the results under the 'new reporting structure'. More detailed explanations are provided in the remainder of this press release.

'On December 2, 2010, TNT announced the decision by its Supervisory Board and Board of Management to prepare separation of Mail and Express into two listed companies. Our strong management teams are hard at work creating independent futures. All preparations for the AGM at which the separation proposal will be put up for approval are well underway.
In Mail, the continuing volume declines require us to remain focused on cost savings to maximise cash flows. In Q4 2010, we were unfortunately faced with the first nation-wide strikes in more than 25 years. These were testing times for our customers and employees alike, particularly as the strikes were immediately followed by a few weeks of harsh winter weather. In December, an agreement with the unions was reached that was subsequently ratified by members of the unions.
This agreement allows for the full implementation of our Master plan III redesign of the postal network in the Netherlands. The years 2011 and 2012 will be the most concentrated years of the restructuring, requiring substantial cash outflow and investment. Declining volumes will not be fully offset by savings from this redesign in these years. However, today we announce that the (independent) Mail company will pay stable dividends from 2011 onwards.
In Express, 2010 has been the year in which volumes recovered to pre-crisis levels although the mix and pricing environment has been challenging throughout. The various yield measures announced as of Q2 have begun to show positive effects, although the harsh winter weather in Europe has caused not only additional costs but also negatively impacted Express' product mix. 2010 has been a year in which TNT's strategy in emerging markets has continued to make good progress. In China, both day-definite domestic and intercontinental growth has been good. We are disappointed with the integration related one-off costs in Brazil, but our strong market position in South America remains a true asset for the future. To realise the 2011 operating income outlook, management will focus on the continued implementation of our yield measures alongside revitalised efforts to reduce structural costs.
Between today and the general meeting of shareholders on May 25, the Board of Management will ensure a smooth transition towards the separated Mail and Express companies.'

Reported revenues increased 0.5% to € 1,219 million. Reported operating income increased to € 187 million. Profit attributable to shareholders was € 126 million (€ 24 million in Q4 2009).
Net cash from operating activities (Mail business only) was € 184 million, € 44 million higher than last year. Tight management limited investment outflow to € 41 million. Year end net debt was € 993 million (including contribution from discontinued operations), which compares to € 908 million last year.
To show the underlying developments in the business, the Mail business excludes one-offs, impairments and the impact of currency movements. Underlying revenues decreased by 0.1% in Q4 2010. Growth of revenues in Parcels and International almost offset the lower revenues resulting from addressed-mail volume decline (-9.6% working-day adjusted) in the Netherlands. Revenues benefited from € 85 million additional revenue coming from the changed VAT regulation in Germany (1 July 2010).
Underlying operating income decreased by 18.2% to € 184 million, which represents an underlying operating margin of 15.2% (Q4 2009: 18.5%). Master plan savings contributed € 29 million. The contribution to operating income from Parcels and International was € 15 million higher than the prior year. The decline in operating income also includes the phasing impact of P&L pension costs, which were € 11 million higher than the prior year. In addition to the one-off effects adjusted for in the underlying performance figures, the business was negatively impacted by three fewer working days. Underlying cash EBIT was € 110 million, a 39.6% decrease from the prior year.
Underlying revenues in Q4 2010 decreased by 0.3% to € 1,734 million. Core average daily consignments were +3.1%, core kilos +6.3%. Core revenue quality yield declined by 2.3%. Operating income was negatively impacted by an estimated € 15 million due to the severe weather in Europe, which led to higher costs and to pressure on yield. Express' high-yielding activities are more concentrated in the areas that were most affected by the weather and weather conditions triggered a shift from Express to Economy. Underlying operating income increased by 1.1% to € 95 million, which represents an underlying operating margin of 5.5% (Q4 2009: 5.4%). In addition to the one-off effects adjusted for in the underlying performance figures, the business was also negatively impacted by three fewer working days and higher fuel costs.
European revenues were impacted by the net of severe weather, fewer working days and volume growth, with slightly lower operating income. Asia Pacific revenue growth was impacted by contract rationalisation leading to improved profitability. Results in Americas mainly suffered from the integrationrelated issues leading to a reported one-off adjustment of € 20 million experienced in Brazil. Several measures were taken to secure the 2011 performance of Express' Brazilian operations.

| • | Note: Q4 2009 included major impact of non-deductible impairments, adjusted for this effect, the ETR for Q4 2009 would have been around 25% |

Over 2010, TNT NV-Mail reported revenues increased by 1.9% and operating income decreased by 18.2%. TNT NV-Mail underlying revenues increased over the prior year by 1.3% and underlying operating income decreased by 7.9% to € 580 million. Mail in the Netherlands addressed volumes declined by 9.0%. Net cash from operating activities was € 171 million versus € 700 million in 2009, the difference mainly explained by an increase in taxes paid of € 321 million (tax refund of € 175 million in 2009 versus higher taxes paid in 2010 regarding prior years). The working capital improvement of € 124 million in 2009 did not recur in 2010 (2010: € 6 million negative).
The Express business in 2010 saw a continued recovery in volumes and an overall improving yield trend. The underlying operating income was € 317 million versus € 240 million in 2009. Net cash from operating activities was € 241 million, € 75 million lower than in 2009. Higher profitability was offset by working capital, which was € 31 million higher because of revenue growth (2009: € 128 million improvement). Net cash used in investing activities was lower than in 2009 (€ 150 million compared to € 185 million).
The internal legal separation was completed on 1 January 2011. The progress towards the 25 May 2011 AGM, at which the separation proposal will be tabled, is progressing according to plan.
The Board of Management of TNT has decided, given that because of the separation the AGM will be later than usual, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to declare a second interim dividend of € 29 cents per share over 2010.
The second interim dividend is payable, at the shareholder's election, either wholly in ordinary shares or wholly in cash, with an at least 2% premium for stock election. The election period is from 22 February 2011 to 8 March 2011, inclusive. To the extent the dividend is paid in shares, it will be paid out of additional paid in capital as part of the distributable reserves, free of withholding tax in the Netherlands. The ratio of the value of the stock dividend to that of the cash dividend will be determined on 8 March 2011, after the close of trading on NYSE Euronext by Euronext Amsterdam ('Euronext'), based on the volume-weighted average price ('VWAP') of all TNT shares traded on Euronext over a three trading day period from 4 to 8 March 2011, inclusive.
The value of the stock dividend, based on this VWAP, will, subject to rounding, be targeted at but not lower than 2% above the cash dividend. There will be no trading in the stock dividend rights. The exdividend date will be 22 February 2011, the record date 24 February 2011 and the dividend will be payable as from 11 March 2011.
The Board of Management, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, has appropriated an amount of € 183 million out of profit to the reserves. Following this appropriation, there remains an amount of € 164 million of the profit that is at the disposal of the annual general meeting of shareholders. Subject to the adoption of TNT's financial statements by the annual general meeting of shareholders, the proposed 2010 dividend has been set at € 57 cents per ordinary share of € 48 cents nominal value. After adjusting for the 2010 interim dividend of € 28 cents per ordinary share as paid out partly in cash and shares in August 2010 and the additional 2010 interim dividend of € 29 cents per ordinary share as payable partly in cash and shares in March 2011, based on the outstanding number of 376,339,096 ordinary shares as per 31 December 2010, the final dividend will be € 0 cents per ordinary share.
Upon approval of this proposal, profit will be appropriated as follows, whereby the second interim dividend represents a cash dividend under the assumption of 100% cash election.

By the end of 2010, the main TNT pension fund had a coverage ratio of 107%. Based on IFRS, the charge to the income statement for the defined benefit obligations in 2010 amounted to a benefit of € 42 million (2009: expense € 28 million) and included a curtailment gain of € 74 million and a positive contribution from the Express business of € 27 million. The total cash contributions for defined benefit obligations were € 239 million (2009: € 250 million).
Mail expects addressed volume decline in 2011 in the Netherlands of 8 – 10% due to ongoing substitution and competition, in this second full year after full liberalisation. Master plan savings of € 50 – 60 million are targeted for the year. Mail's underlying cash EBIT (defined as underlying EBIT minus pension cash outflows and cash out for restructuring) is expected to be € 130 – 170 million. After separation, Mail's dividend guidelines for the next few years will include a payout around 75% of underlying net cash income, with a minimum of € 150 million per annum. In addition, shareholders will be given the dividend that Mail receives from the Express business.
The 2011 additional financial indicators relevant to underlying cash EBIT:
Other 2011 additional financial indicators:
For 2011, TNT assumes a mostly stable economic environment. To counter inflationary cost pressures (including fuel) and possible mix effects, Express will focus on structural costs and cash alongside yield improvements which continue to be a priority. For the full year, Express targets underlying revenue of € 7.3 – 7.5 billion and underlying operating income of € 400 – 420 million (operating income including the allocation of € 20 million of TNT central costs). After separation, Express' dividend guideline will include a payout of around 40% of normalised net income.
The 2011 additional financial indicators:
The above excludes extra one-off costs directly related to the separation currently estimated at around € 35 million.
