Deutsche Post: 2007 meets business expectations – writedown on Americas
EXPRESS unit
Deutsche Post announced today that 2007 results were in line with its
expectations and guidance of around 3.7 billion euros EBIT before
non-recurring effects. All divisions have met their targets with a sound
finish to the year. The company expects to make further good progress in
2008, targeting around 4.2 billion euros EBIT before non-recurring effects.
Work continues to identify the optimal solution to performance improvements
in the U.S. EXPRESS business. Following an impairment review, a non-cash
writedown on EXPRESS Americas fixed assets of around 600 million euros will
be recognized in the 2007 accounts. Deutsche Post World Net still expects
the EXPRESS division to make consistent progress in underlying profit and
to reach an EBIT of between 900 million euros and 1.1 billion euros in
2009.
