MaltaPost p.l.c. has reported improved financial performance for the six-month period ended 31 March 2026, with profit before tax rising to €3.58 million from €3.18 million in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.

Board Approves Interim Financial Statements

The company announcement, published through the Malta Stock Exchange on 28 May 2026, confirmed that MaltaPost’s Board of Directors approved the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2026. The statements are also available through the company’s website.

Revenue Growth Supported by Parcels and Logistics

Total revenue for the period increased to €23.97 million, compared with €21.53 million in 2025. MaltaPost said this was supported by steady performance across key business areas, particularly parcel and logistics-related activities. Total expenditure also increased, reaching €20.48 million, compared with €18.57 million in the previous period. However, the Group’s cost-to-income ratio improved slightly to 85.4%, from 86.3% in 2025.

Challenging Market Conditions Continue

The company said it continued to operate within a challenging environment marked by supply chain disruptions, geopolitical uncertainty and volatility in oil prices, all of which continue to affect the postal and logistics sector. MaltaPost also noted that the shift away from traditional letter mail towards digital communication channels persisted, while e-commerce and parcel-related services remained important contributors to activity and revenue growth.

EU Customs Changes May Affect Imports

Looking ahead, MaltaPost said it remains cautiously optimistic, while monitoring developments in international trade and logistics markets. The Group also highlighted expected EU regulatory changes, including a proposed fixed customs tariff of €3 per item on low-value goods entering the EU from 1 July 2026, and a potential additional handling fee from November 2026. These measures could affect cross-border e-commerce and parcel import volumes from non-EU markets.

MaltaPost said it remains committed to the long-term sustainable growth of its postal and logistics operations, while continuing to improve customer experience, service reliability and income diversification.
