What we achieved in 2007:

With EBIT before non-recurring effects of €3.76 billion, we have met our forecast. Revenue rose 4.9% to €63.5 billion, driven above all by the LOGISTICS Division and Postbank’s dynamic new customer business. On the liberalised German mail market, a basis for dependable planning with regard to social standards and price structure up to the year 2011 is now in place. With our Roadmap to Value, we have initiated an extensive capital markets programme.

What we plan to achieve in 2008:

We anticipate making good headway towards attaining our goal of EBIT before non-recurring effects of around €4.2 billion. We aim to rapidly improve the results situation in our US express business which remains flawed. With our Roadmap to Value initiative, we are seeking to achieve sustained value growth. At the same time, we are committed to systematically gearing our efforts to meeting customers’ needs as well as intensifying collaboration between divisions and throughout the Group.
