12Q1: Slow delivery, not an issue<br />
The facts: PostNL released first quarter data. Press release at<br />
http://bit.ly/IRzWRo.<br />
Dutch mail volumes -7.9% (as expected, q4/q4 -5%), price +2.4% (expected<br />
+6%, q4/q4 +7%), margin 9% (expected 10%, 11q1 12%).<br />
Parcels volumes +4.6% (expected +2%, q4/q4 +4%), price +0.6% (expected<br />
+0.5%, q4/q4 +1.5%), margin 13.7% (expected 17%, 11q1 17%)<br />
Adjusted EBIT (“Underlying Operating Profit” excluding Other) EUR 79m<br />
(expected 94m, 11q1 100m)<br />
Net debt EUR 1.0bn, TNT Express valued at EUR 9.26 per share. Equity<br />
1.0bn.<br />
Outlook: no change to plans and stated outlook. Pension fund coverage ratio<br />
100%, top-ups still under discussion. CLA negotiations, in which pensions are<br />
a major issue, are progressing without comment. No new news on dividends<br />
and other cash spending plans.<br />
Reorganisation hiccups: has had an impact but no change to plans and<br />
programmes, only to implementation momentum.<br />

Our analysis: Disappointing margins because of pricing in Dutch mail and<br />
operating costs in Parcels. In Mail, we may have underestimated the positive<br />
seasonal mix effect in 11Q4. In Parcels, the new logistic model makes costs hard<br />
to estimate in the short term. No need to change estimates or investment case.<br />
Balance sheet as expected: with TNT Exit at EUR 9.5 and IAS19 pension asset<br />
wipe-out, pro-forma Equity would stand at c EUR 100m and net debt would<br />
convert to net cash of EUR 540m.<br />
Conclusion & Action: Buy, target 5.85 for the fundamental value of conglomerate<br />
cash flows.<br />
