InPost Reports Strong Revenue Growth but Faces Margin Pressure
InPost reported a significant increase in first-half revenue, reaching €1.89 billion—a 24% rise year-over-year—while handling 740 million global shipments, up 23%. However, the company's adjusted EBITDA grew only slightly by 0.3%, to €457.5 million, highlighting a growing gap between volume growth and profitability. International markets now account for 54% of InPost’s revenue, with strong performance in the Eurozone where shipment volumes rose 30%. Despite this expansion, net profit fell by 30% due to higher depreciation costs from locker network investments, increased taxes, and foreign exchange pressures. As a result, InPost revised its full-year EBITDA outlook downward. The company is also navigating operational challenges in the UK following the acquisition of Yodel, while facing ongoing investment costs across Europe. Additionally, it remains under takeover consideration by a consortium led by FedEx and Advent International.
