ReutersBpost posts lower 2023 operating profit, does not provide 2024 profit outlook
Belgian postal operator Bpost, which also distributes newspapers, reported a decline in full-year operating profit on Friday, and did not provide an outlook for 2024, citing "discussions with press stakeholders". The group's shares fell as much as 5.2% and then reversed course, rising around 1.3% in early trading. Bpost has been under pressure due to speculation that the Belgian government could choose other companies for the distribution of newspapers and periodicals in the country.

(Reuters) -Belgium's Bpost reported EBIT above consensus and reinstated its previously withdrawn 2023 core profit forecast on Thursday, taking into account recent updates on compliance reviews for its services to the Belgian state. The group, which delivers mail and parcels and provides e-commerce logistics, now expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of more than 240 million euros ($257 million) for 2023, and an operating income to decrease by a low-single-digit percentage. Bpost previously guided for EBIT to be 240 million to 260 million euros, following the preliminary results of the compliance review.

Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell 16.8% to 68.7 million euros ($75.18 million) in the second quarter, from 82.6 million euros in the year-ago period. Bpost did not provide a full new guidance for 2023 after it withdrew the previous one in April following a compliance review of its services with the Belgian state, but it issued new outlooks for two units. Bpost now expects 4-6% growth for its Belgian operations, up from a previous forecast of 3-5%, and a 7-9% EBIT margin, up from a prior outlook of 6.5-8.5%.
