InPost is a parcel delivery company best known for its automated parcel lockers. It helps online stores and shoppers send, receive, and return packages without relying only on home delivery. The company’s main customers are e-commerce merchants, logistics partners, and consumers who use its lockers and delivery services. InPost makes money by charging for parcel handling, locker use, and delivery services linked to online orders. Its business sits in the last mile of the shipping chain, where packages move from local sorting points to the customer’s chosen pickup spot. That makes it different from a traditional courier because the locker network lets many deliveries be completed without a driver making a home stop. The company’s role is part infrastructure, part delivery service. It builds and runs a network of parcel lockers and supports merchants with shipping options that are easy to add at checkout. For beginners, the key idea is simple: InPost sells a more convenient way to move online purchases and returns, and it earns fees every time a parcel flows through its system.

Strong quarter: InPost said Q1 2026 was another strong quarter, with parcels up 32% to almost 360 million and revenue up 31% to PLN 3.9 billion, driven mainly by international expansion.
Profitability mixed: Adjusted EBITDA was PLN 902 million, down 4%, as Poland and the Eurozone remained strong but the U.K. was still loss-making during its transformation.
International shift: Management highlighted that 53% of group revenue now comes from outside Poland, reinforcing the company’s move from a Polish business to a broader European platform.
U.K. improving: The U.K. business more than tripled parcel volume to 77 million and narrowed its loss to PLN 49 million, with March profitable and the team saying the worst quarter may be behind them.
Outlook steady: Full-year 2026 guidance was unchanged, while Q2 group volume growth is expected in the mid- to high teens, with Poland in mid- to high single digits and international markets in the high 20s.
