The document discusses the state of the post and parcel industry and highlights of high performing companies in the industry. It covers four key topics: 1) The post and parcel industry is being disrupted by digital trends like e-commerce, data analytics, and new entrants using innovative delivery models. High performers adapt by growing their parcel business, diversifying selectively, and transforming digitally. 2) E-commerce is driving strong parcel volume growth but also decreasing pricing power. Incumbents are investing heavily to transform and meet demand while new entrants use flexible models. 3) High performers drive superior value growth through acquisitions and organic growth, achieve high profit margins, and deliver better returns on investment than low

- 8. The flow of capital into this sector has dramatically increased over the last few years. The impact is being seen especially in last mile delivery. In contrast to the fixed-cost, company-owned asset model of incumbents, start-ups are using partnership or crowdsourced technology-driven models to disrupt the value chain. Information-driven and rooted in the platform or sharing economy, these start-ups are inherently nimble and “asset lite” which enables them to be experience- versus efficiency-focused. They operate anywhere, at a fraction of the cost, using data and analytics to coordinate complex networks. Fueled by a low cost of capital, these start-ups are VENTURE CAPITAL-FUNDED START-UPS ARE REINVENTING DELIVERY able to innovate at pace with eCommerce demand. Post and parcel players are just starting to embrace these innovative business models—but they cannot afford to delay. 2013: US$266M 2016(Q1): US$1.75B Venture capital funding supply chain and logistics start-ups STATE OF THE POST AND PARCEL INDUSTRY

It crowdsources first and last mile services and then uses spare capacity on the national bus system for transport. This model helps to enable Onibag to charge less than half of its competitors while making significantly more profit.

- 10. INCUMBENTS ARE INVESTING AT A RECORD PACE Industry capital expenditure has grown more than 40% from 2013 to 2015 as post and parcel organizations make significant investments in increased capacity, new capabilities and diversification to keep up with eCommerce-driven change and demand. Some are spending as much as one-third of their revenues on major internal or external projects. Almost all are investing in additional capacity to accommodate eCommerce growth, especially for peak periods. Merger and acquisition activity is also high. Unlike the last 15 years, acquisitions are now smaller and more specialized. Capital expenditure as a percentage of revenue 2013: 3.7% 2015: 5.1% Acquisitions are being made around logistics and transportation, parcels and express, technology and software, financial services, and mail.

- 12. ECOMMERCE IS POLARIZING DELIVERY Changing retailer and consumer behaviors affecting the eCommerce logistics chain are polarizing delivery— at one end, a global direct model; at the other, hyper-local delivery. Simultaneously, the use and importance of a robust domestic, national network is being reduced. Increasingly, consumers are shopping beyond their borders. Ubiquitous eCommerce is leading to significant growth in cross-border volumes. Consumers are less concerned about where the goods come from and more interested in what they are priced and when they will arrive. In response 67% of all merger, joint venture and acquisition transactions in 2015 occurred outside the player’s domestic country,1 mainly to supplement “missing” eCommerce capabilities in such areas as warehousing or fulfillment technology. The battle for the last mile is fiercer. Online retailers are investing in customer proximity as they seek to accelerate delivery speed and reduce delivery cost. They use free, fast delivery as a competitive differentiator to take eCommerce market share. These dynamics create greater demand for last mile services and erode a significant barrier to entry—the cost of building and maintaining an end-to-end network.

- 13. AMAZON PRIME NOW HUBS As of 2016, there were 58 Amazon Prime Now hubs in the US, stocking high velocity items for same day delivery4 and offering one to two hour delivery to more than 77.6 million consumers.5 Amazon is also opening Prime Now hubs in Germany, Spain and Italy.6 RETAILERS EXPAND ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN Increasingly, Alibaba, Amazon and Walmart are focusing on the first and middle mile. Walmart and Alibaba have begun leasing shipping container space to transport manufactured goods from China to North America. Alibaba offers this capacity to third-party merchants. Retailers and marketplaces are taking such measures to secure much-needed capacity and to lower overall cross-border transportation costs.7 ECOMMERCE IS POLARIZING DELIVERY STATE OF THE POST AND PARCEL INDUSTRY
- 14. PARCEL VOLUMES GROW BUT PRICING POWER DECLINES In a healthy growth market like eCommerce shipping, yield should be increasing and creating pricing opportunities. Instead, revenue per package is flat globally—declining 0.5% from 2013 to 2015. While many factors are at play, the race for capacity and the emergence of new entrants is impacting yield. Our research shows growing marketplace dominance is impacting yield, as volumes from small and medium shippers move into marketplace models. Top three global marketplaces’ General Merchandise Value growth between 2010 and 20159 CAGR: 48% 98% of online retailers use at least one marketplace as a channel. 80%+ of online retailers receive at least 40% of their revenues from marketplaces.8 As marketplaces increase market share, they demand better service at lower prices which depresses yield.

- 16. MAIL VOLUMES DECLINE BUT AVERAGE PROFITABILITY IS UP In 2015, total mail volume declined by 2% globally, significantly lower than the 6.3% total volume decline between 2007 and 2010. This number is markedly skewed by a few large players with relatively modest declines. The average mail volume decline was 4.5% for 2014 to 2015. Consistent transactional mail volume decline has been offset by the continuity of small gains in advertising mail volumes. Today, the world sends 100 billion fewer letters than a decade ago. Mail pricing annual growth in Europe 2010-2013: 5% 2013-2016: 11% Many postal organizations benefit from strong mail profitability, with the average mail profitability in 2015 being 6.8%. Streamlining and modernization of their mail operations, and a recent focus on price increases, has helped to secure that profitability. In some cases, better margins are the result of dramatic price increases as our research shows postal organizations are testing mail elasticity. STATE OF THE POST AND PARCEL INDUSTRY

- 18. DIVERSIFICATION DRIVES GROWTH— BUT TESTS PROFITABILITY Our analysis shows diversification is an important driver of revenue growth for post and parcel organizations. Expansion across the logistics supply chain adds revenue while leveraging existing assets and skills to improve utilization. There is synergy in these investments, as broader logistics capabilities fill last mile networks to improve the profitability of both business units. Investment continues in payment and financial services capabilities—providing new sources of revenue with higher profitability. Financial services diversification remains the most profitable and the fastest growing diversification strategy for the industry as postal organizations in particular seek better utilization of their vast retail assets. Revenue growth 2013 to 2015 Mail: Non-mail: No one-size-fits-all in diversification. Post and parcel organizations have a competitive advantage from their ubiquitous network. But with higher than average cost of labor, they need to find offerings that fit their commercial structure, while introducing lower cost and flexible labor to enable new business models.

Some shift to a single mail and parcel network while others slow mail to create more consistent volumes. Investments in automation and network realignment have placed Canada Post’s multi-year postal transformation on track to surpass its planned CAN$250M (US$185M) in annual savings.14 APPLY SMART PRICING They use aggressive price increases, averaging above 10.5% CAGR between 2013 and 2016, to offset mail volume declines.15 Australia Post increased the price of a stamp from 70 cents to 1 dollar while also introducing a priority label to accelerate delivery for 50 cents more.16 Strategic pricing unique to each of its brands has enabled Austrian Post Group to maintain volume with high profitability (19% EBIT in 2015).17 INNOVATE TO REINVENT THE MAIL SERVICE They focus less on declining mail revenues and more on adding value to mail. They develop unaddressed and addressed admail products, undertake data-driven marketing with online geo-targeting tools and invest in digital enhancements to mail. Royal Mail Data Services uses data and analytics to create targeted marketing campaigns that improve mail value and ROI.18 2 HIGH PERFORMER HIGHLIGHTS

TARGET CROSS-BORDER DELIVERY In particular, postal players run a highly-focused, international strategy to achieve nearly twice as much revenue from outside their domestic boundaries as other performers—across all products. Japan Post’s acquisition of Toll for US$4.9 billion gives it significant presence in cross-border logistics and serves as a foundation for its growth aspirations in Asia.20 FOCUS ON THE RECIPIENT They give consumers control over delivery by offering flexible delivery and returns while using consumer data to improve the delivery experience and efficiency. Australia Post and Canada Post have invested in strong domestic capabilities and command market shares of approximately 75% and 66% respectively in B2C.19 3 HIGH PERFORMER HIGHLIGHTS

They account for nearly 50% of all M&A activity with more than 3x the M&A activity of lower performers. La Poste has been the most active in M&A activity over the last 5 years, closing 35 deals since 2011.24 EXPAND FINANCIAL SERVICES They deliver strong financial services’ revenue growth of 7% (between 2013 and 2015) while also driving strong profitability of 14.9% in 2015. These services help to sustain the cost of the retail network. Less than 15 years after launching Kiwibank, financial services and banking at New Zealand Post represents 88% of all net profits.23 DRIVE SYNERGIES IN LOGISTICS They gain economies of scale through capacity and infrastructure, creating low marginal costs for incremental business and delivering high eCommerce density.

- 34. The Accenture digital performance index28 shows how digital investments are positioning companies for growth, identifies the gaps required for digital transformation and assigns post and parcel organizations to one of four categories: 1. Digital high performers (strong digital and financial performance) 2. Digital leaders (strong digital capabilities not yet delivering financial value) 3. Traditional leaders (strong financial performance without digital) 4. Digital contenders (companies with the potential to improve their financial performance with the right digital investments). DIGITAL WILL BECOME VITAL TO HIGH PERFORMANCE Our research shows the post and parcel industry is in the midst of digital transformation, but has yet to reap the full rewards. This will change over the next two years. Evolving consumer expectations that will demand data-driven, more personal services, for example, will require new digital capabilities. Digital investments will also underpin the operational efficiency and cost saving programs necessary for continued profitability improvements. Post and parcel organizations are just beginning to realize the financial rewards of digital but our research shows those investments are creating the foundation for future growth.

- 38. AUGMENT LABOR AND CAPITAL AI can automate simple or oft- repeated tasks enabling workers to focus on value-added tasks in areas such as customer service, automated parcel tracking and exception handling, which could result in significant cost savings. OPTIMIZE THE NETWORK Algorithms can quickly analyze volumes of data to identify patterns not visible to the naked eye— traffic information, weather events, or Twitter feeds. AI self-learns, creating continuously improving processes and efficiency. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A NEW FACTOR OF PRODUCTION AI market by 2020 5.05B 31 US$ ANTICIPATE CUSTOMER BEHAVIORS Services could be designed to anticipate delivery changes. By building customer data into “consumer genomes”— living profiles of preferences, behavior, motivations and needs—parcel delivery can go beyond giving customers choice to understanding why they make those choices and anticipating behavior, lowering costs while delighting customers. AI bots will power 85% of all customer service interactions by the year 202030 POST AND PARCEL PRIORITIES
- 39. AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WILL CHANGE THE POST AND PARCEL INDUSTRY IN TWO WAYS Transport utilization will improve Air or ground-based autonomous vehicles can be available for delivery 24/7, enabling radically different utilization profiles. Transport costs will radically reduce Labor costs associated with transport will decline (or be eliminated) leading to drastic cost reduction. The changes will begin with line haul—Uber’s Otto division made the first autonomous delivery in the United States in October 2016.32 While autonomous vehicles can find a location, or a person, some challenges around secure delivery must still be resolved, such as last meter management or vandalism risks. AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: THE NEW DELIVERY ENGINE Forecasts say that there will be more than 10 million cars with self-driving features globally.33 10million By 2020 POST AND PARCEL PRIORITIES
- 40. CONVENIENCE IS THE NEW LOYALTY As retailers use the delivery experience to compete for and retain customers, improving the consumer delivery experience with features like control of parcel delivery will be key to unlocking loyalty. ECOMMERCE RETURNS AS A DIFFERENTIATOR The evolution of eCommerce forces delivery companies to develop new capabilities to fit with the dynamic resolution of returns. Turning returns into a value capability instead of a “necessary evil” creates differentiation as an eCommerce delivery partner. INTERCONNECTED ECOSYSTEMS Retail competition is focusing on delivery models that are free, fast and convenient. The lines are blurring between retailers and shippers. Solutions that tie retail demand with shipper supply and optimize the ecosystem will become more important as capabilities mature. PARCEL DELIVERY: AS A PLATFORM 65% 79% 68% of consumers globally consider the ability to change delivery instructions an important factor when selecting a delivery company.34 of eTailers place returns capabilities among the most important criteria when evaluating a delivery provider.35 of retailers say that a direct consumer to shipper relationship is one of their top three priorities.36 POST AND PARCEL PRIORITIES
- 41. THE POWER OF PERSONALIZATION The dramatic improvement and growth in mobile advertising has the potential to disrupt direct mail. It is less expensive than traditional advertising mail and offers a totally different and far more personalized experience— radically changing the potential effectiveness of advertisements. With smartphones serving as life management devices, it will become more important to make mail relevant on these devices. Postal organizations have an opportunity to tie digital, mobile content to their physical products to create a new consumer channel. Print advertising losing share to digital advertising MOBILE ADVERTISING: THE SECOND WAVE OF MAIL DISRUPTION of global digital advertising spend by 2018 will be attributable to mobile, which will overtake desktop advertising in 201737 2012 2014 2016 2018 Global advertising shares by category (%) *Print includes newspapers and consumer magazines 23% 1% 23% 39% 7% 7% 28% 1% 1% 0% 19% 39% 7% 7% 33% 16% 38% 6% 7% 37% 14% 36% 5% 7% Digital Television Audio Cinema Out-of-home Print* 60% POST AND PARCEL PRIORITIES
- 42. FOSTERING DIGITAL TRUST Digital technologies have opened up new business models and opportunities, but also introduced new risks—valued assets become less tangible, more distributed, and more vulnerable to cyber threats. As post and parcel organizations store greater quantities of more sensitive data, their security capabilities must mature. The digital enterprise must foster a culture of security that enables digital trust. Digital trust represents secure, transparent relationships and engagement between the enterprise and its employees, partners, and customers. SECURITY: THE NEXT CRITICAL CHALLENGE 50% of consumers globally are confident that their national postal operator keeps their personal information private and secure.38 48% of cybersecurity professionals from large enterprises believe management views cybersecurity as an unnecessary cost. 76% of enterprise security professionals believe they need to improve their ability in threat and vulnerability assessments.

- 44. Our analysis is based on publicly available information, content published by post and parcel organizations and Accenture industry knowledge and experience. As in previous years, we have used a quantitative model to assess financial performance and a qualitative model to determine the drivers of high performance. Our methodology is based on the value of discounted cash flows to shareholders, or economic value added (EVA®) and the total shareholder return (TSR). RESEARCH METHODOLOGY We measured high performers based on a comparison of metrics across six different elements and created a scorecard identifying which organizations performed above average within the industry. Comparative analysis was adapted to account for government ownership of the majority of postal organizations.
