www.royalmailgroup.com/en/investors/f...www.royalmailgroup.com/en/investors/i...Summary:
· An unprecedented third quarter.
· The busiest quarter for parcels in Royal Mail's history with 496 million parcels handled.
· On our busiest day we delivered 11.7 million parcels, 32% more than our busiest day during the first national lockdown in
2020.
· Combined with increased absence rates due to COVID-19, these exceptional volumes impacted on service quality.
· Investing in quality improvements: retained around 10,000 of the 33,000 flexible workers from the Christmas peak, 6,000
additional vehicles and four temporary Parcel Sort Centres kept open.
· Addressed letter volumes (ex. elections) improved, declining by 14% in Q3 compared to around 33% at the beginning of
FY2020-21.
· Royal Mail has now delivered around one billion items of PPE; we continue to prioritise vaccination letters and COVID-19 test
kits.
· GLS continued to perform strongly driven by growth in B2C and international volumes.
· Group adjusted operating profit expected to be well in excess of £500 million for FY2020-21.
