CEO statement
Herna Verhagen, CEO of PostNL, commented: "2019 was a crucial year for our transformation towards being the preferred logistics and postal solutions provider in the Benelux area. The completion of the integration of the postal networks of PostNL and Sandd, the steps we are taking to improve operational leverage in Parcels, and the disposal of a number of non-core activities were all key steps in achieving our strategy for growth.
"At Parcels, volume growth this quarter was 10%. This was lower than expected, mainly due to market growth slowing down. In 2020, we expect to benefit from implemented yield measures and continuing steps that will result in a better balance between volume growth, profitability and sustainable cash generation. We are confident that Parcels continues to be well-positioned to both take advantage and shape the e-commerce market in the Benelux region.
"Performance at Mail in the Netherlands was supported by strong sales of the December stamp. During the busy period we were able to show good progress in our cost savings projects, resulting in €48 million in savings for the full year. As of 1 February 2020 the PostNL and Sandd volumes are fully combined, being sorted and delivered by one integrated network. The key focus points for Mail in the Netherlands in 2020 are further cost savings and continuing adjustment of our organisation to the structural volume decline, taking into account the one-timestep-up in volume. We are on track to deliver the anticipated benefits and synergies from the Sandd transaction, as announced in February 2019.
"During the year, the number of customers connected digitally to PostNL continued to grow to 5.3 million unique users. We added several new features to the PostNL app, which provide customers with more precise delivery information and allow them to obtain digital shipment and pick-up receipts. In 2020, we will accelerate digitalisation across the company. This helps us develop every aspect of our operations, from optimising the customer experience to smart logistics enabling us to move customers' goods quickly, efficiently and sustainably.
"Business performance is expected to improve, which would bring like-for-like normalised EBIT in 2020 to between €145 million and €165 million. Taking into account higher pension expenses and the effect of new labour regulation, our outlook for normalised EBIT in 2020 is between €110 million and €130 million. Free cash flow is expected to come in at between €(315) million and €(285) million, including a final payment for transitional plans of around €300 million in 2020. We expect to restore dividend payment, temporarily suspended due to the impact of the Sandd transaction, within 12 to 24 months after closing."

Parcels - result improved
PostNL's aim at Parcels is to further improve volume growth, profitability and cash conversion. In good time before the start of the peak season, PostNL opened a new sorting centre in Tilburg, bringing the total number of sorting centres in the Netherlands to 25.
Volume growth came in at 10% compared with Q4 2018. Revenue rose to €471 million (Q4 2018: €439 million), with volume development as the main driver of revenue growth. Revenue at Logistics continues to grow. Although competition remains fierce, revenue at Spring increased on the back of an improved product portfolio.
Business performance at Parcels Benelux improved by €1 million in Q4. This reflected the impact of €11 million in volume growth, partly offset by a negative price/mix effect of €7 million, that was largely due to a shift to lower- margin products in international parcels. Organic cost increases, mainly relating to collective labour agreements and indexations, amounted to €5 million. Other costs reduced by €2 million. Further operational efficiencies were visible from improved drop duplication and hit rate. Other performance was up €5 million, with improving result at Logistics and Spring. Underlying cash operating income came in at €42 million (Q4 2018: €36 million).
Mail in the Netherlands - good business performance
Revenue in Q4 was up by 1% to €492 million (Q4 2018: €483 million), supported by strong sales of the December stamp and the Sandd acquisition, which added 134 million mail items in the quarter. Addressed mail volumes at Mail in the Netherlands (excluding Sandd) declined by 9.6% in the quarter (10.3% adjusted for one working day). The decline
PostNL Q4 / FY 2019 Results | Page 2
was mainly driven by substitution. Delivery quality came in at 94%.The last months of the year proved to be more challenging, with capacity issues pushing delivery quality below the full-year target of 95%. These issues were linked to preparations for the integration of Sandd.
Underlying cash operating income fell to €48 million (Q4 2018: €71 million). Cost savings (€10 million) and less cash out related to pensions and provisions (€4 million) were offset by the negative volume/price/mix effect (€19 million), autonomous cost increases (€6 million) and other business effects (€12 million, mainly related to the acquisition of Sandd and unaddressed mail activities).
Cost savings plans: €15 million cost savings achieved in Q4 2019
In 2019, PostNL achieved total cost savings of €48 million, €15 million of this in Q4. Total cost savings were in line with the company's expectation of between €45 million and €65 million. Cost savings plans include several initiatives, such as adjusting the sorting and delivery process, optimising the retail network, streamlining staff and centralising locations.
Sandd integration going according to plan, strategic and financial drivers for value creation confirmed
The merger of the postal networks of PostNL and Sandd was completed on 1 February 2020, creating a reliable, accessible and affordable postal service, that delivers mail five days a week throughout the Netherlands. It has increased total mail volume by more than 30% and has created a stable base to generate economies of scale to safeguard continuity of the postal services for Dutch society.
The consolidation also helps absorbing the impact of declining postal volumes in a socially responsible way. PostNL is welcoming more than 4,300 new colleagues from Sandd. All 11,000 postal deliverers have been offered jobs with PostNL. Around 60% indicated they would like to receive a personal job offer and about 4,000 people have joined PostNL. In addition, more than 300 Sandd employees working in other roles have joined PostNL. PostNL will also continue its collaboration with sheltered workplaces, protecting 500 jobs for employees who face challenges in the labour market.
In recent months, Sandd customers have been supported in the process of gradually absorbing their volumes into the PostNL network. As of 1 February 2020 we are operating one integrated network to sort and deliver all PostNL and Sandd mail items.
PostNL confirms the key financial elements of the transaction as announced on 25 February 2019, with run-rate synergies of between €50 million and €60 million of normalised EBIT expected to be reached in 2022.
PostNL Other
Revenue at PostNL Other this quarter was €22 million (Q4 2018: €20 million). Underlying cash operating income came
in at €(11) million (Q4 2018: €(7) million). Cost savings were more than offset by an increase in other costs.
Pensions
Pension expense amounted to €29 million (Q4 2018: €31 million) and total regular cash contributions were €28 million
(Q4 2018: €29 million). In Q4 2019, the net actuarial gain on pensions worked out at €5 million. At the end of 2019, the main pension fund's 12 month average coverage ratio was 110.6%, well above the minimum required funding level of 104.0%. At 31 December 2019, the actual coverage ratio was 113.4%. Provisions for pension liabilities, related to transitional plans, were €283 million as at YE 2019. The expected cash-out for the final payment for transitional plans is €300 million. This amount was determined by parameters set in Q3 2019, when interest rates were at a multi-year low, negatively impacting the amount. PostNL has initiated a discussion with the pension fund to determine whether, given the development of interest rates, the payment can be reduced and/or differently phased, without negatively impacting existing employee entitlements. Payment is capped at € 300 million. The discussion is expected to be completed in Q1.
Discontinued operations
PostNL announced today that it has reached agreement with Mutares to sell 80% in Nexive's business. Please refer to the separate press release issued today for further details. The sale of Postcon's activities to Quantum Capital Partners was completed in Q4 2020.
In Q4 2019, the result from discontinued operations was €(23) million (Q4 2018: €(26) million), reflecting business result and a fair value adjustment.
Financial and equity position
Total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent improved to €(21) million as at 31 December 2019, compared with €(26) million at the end of Q3 2019. The main drivers for this improvement were net profit of €4 million and a net actuarial gain on pensions of €5 million. Net cash from operating and investing activities (excluding the acquisition of Sandd) improved to €89 million (Q4 2018: €57 million), despite the decline in underlying cash operating income.
PostNL Q4 / FY 2019 Results | Page 3
Working capital improved strongly on the back of a disciplined approach toward collection of receivables. At the end of 2019, the adjusted net debt position was €736 million, up from €698 million at the end of Q3 2019. The year-end leverage ratio (adjusted net debt/EBITDA) was 2.6x.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG)
PostNL proactively takes responsibility for the environmental impact of its operations and has set ambitious targets to reduce its environmental footprint. PostNL is looking to engage with its people and acts as a responsible employer. It aims to be everyone's favourite deliverer and provide customers with services and solutions that enhance their business.
The key achievements for 2019 were:
- 19% of parcels and mail delivered emission-free in the last-mile
- Stable employee engagement and loyalty
- 27% highly satisfied customers
Dividend
In financing the Sandd transaction and the ensuing integration costs, PostNL expects to temporarily exceed its leverage ratio target. In line with its current dividend policy, PostNL will not pay dividend as long as the leverage ratio exceeds ~2x. The leverage ratio at the end of 2019 was 2.6x.
PostNL proposes a dividend of €0.08 per ordinary share for 2019 (2018: €0.24), which is equal to the interim 2019 dividend paid in August 2019. This will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 14 April 2020. No final dividend will be distributed.
On 21 February 2020, the Board of Management, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, adopted an adjusted dividend policy to align with normalised EBIT and free cash flow as key performance indicators. The main elements of this dividend policy are:
- Dividend distribution conditional on being properly financed in accordance with PostNL's financial framework
- The aim is to pay dividend that develops substantially in line with operational performance
- Pay-outratio of around 70% - 90% of normalised comprehensive income
- Shareholders are offered a choice to opt for cash or shares
- Interim dividend set at ~ 1/3 of dividend over prior year
PostNL expects to restore dividend payment, temporarily suspended due to the impact of the Sandd transaction, within 12 to 24 months after closing.

Forward-looking statements
Some statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements". By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may occur in the future. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are outside of PostNL's control and impossible to predict, and that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, analyses and projections about the industries in which PostNL operates and management's beliefs and assumptions about possible future events. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only valid as of the date of this press release and are neither predictions nor guarantees of possible future events or circumstances. PostNL does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities law.
Use of non-GAAP information
In presenting and discussing the PostNL Group operating results, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The main non-GAAP key financial performance indicator is underlying cash operating income. The underlying cash operating performance focuses on the underlying cash earnings performance, which is the basis for PostNL's dividend policy. In the analysis of the underlying cash operating performance, adjustments are made for non-recurring and exceptional items as well as adjustments for non-cash costs for pensions and provisions. For pensions, the IFRS-based defined benefit plan pension expenses are replaced by the non-IFRS measure of the actual cash contributions for such plans. For the other provisions, the IFRS-based net charges are replaced by the related cash outflow. As of 2020, the main non-GAAP key financial performance indicator is normalised EBIT. Normalised EBIT is derived from the IFRS-based performance measure operating income adjusted for the impact of project costs and incidentals. Aside from adjustments for restructuring-related costs, all currently adjusted non- recurring and exceptional items within underlying cash operating income are also normalisations within normalised EBIT.
