The 2014 financial year turned out to be a good year for Austrian Post. In spite of a difficult business environment, Austrian Post succeeded in slightly increasing revenue and improving earnings. The main trends impacting the field of logistics and postal services continued over the past year. The electronic substitution of conventional mail is continuing unabatedly. Direct mail volumes depend on the cyclical development of the advertising industry and the state of the economy. The parcel market continues to be characterised by strong competition and extensive price pressure. Austrian Post managed to successfully meet the challenges posed during the past financial year, and is well positioned to sustainably safeguard its competitiveness and profitability.
