Posts operating in fast-emerging markets continued to outperform the industry as a whole, with all BRICS+M operators except South African Post Office seeing total revenues grow over 5%. In 2015, 26 out of 45 posts saw total revenue growth of over 1%. Of these, 12 reported stable or growing revenue across all reported segments. Beyond parcels, for which only two posts (Cyprus Post and South African Post Office) reported falling revenue, revenue was mixed across other business divisions. Just under two thirds of posts reported revenue growth for mail services. While low interest rates hampered growth for many posts financial service divisions, ten out of 22 operators did report growth in this segment in Those seeing fastest growth in 2015 were small, diversified posts in Northern Europe and Asia Pacific. Omniva and Singapore Post saw stable revenue performance for mail divisions through e-commerce-related services, and growth for all other revenue segments. Two posts saw total revenue decline in 2015, despite reporting growth for both mail and parcels divisions. For Correos, overall revenue decline was the result of lower government contributions, while Magyar Posta s performance was impacted by low interest rates reducing financial service revenue. PostNL saw stable revenue performance despite declining mail revenue, with falls in that sector largely offset by parcels growth. Notes: Analysis based on corporate revenue and business area revenue.

During 2015, bpost discontinued low-margin wholesale activities in the UK and US, resulting in a slight drop in revenue for the year. However, the loss of these unprofitable services allowed the operator to maintain its high EBIT margin. Posti Group divested Scandinavian freight operations in 2015, which contributed to its overall drop in revenue but, through associated cost savings, as well as property sales and a performance improvement programme, the operator was able to improve its EBIT margin for the year by 3.0 percentage points (p.p.). More than half of posts reported revenue growth and a positive EBIT margin for Of the 38 posts with a positive EBIT margin for the year, 25 saw stable or positive development from Iceland Post saw its EBIT margin drop below zero in 2015, with the operator reporting that despite consumer letter rate increases (Fig. 2.10), revenue from monopoly universal services only just covered service costs for the year.
