Financial Report
Swiss Post operates in markets that are undergoing rapid change due to intense competition, internationalization, technology deployment and regulations. Driven by e-commerce, the logistics market is facing global competition. The level of digitization in the communication market continues to rise. In financial services, digital providers have the possibility to gain a foothold in payment transactions following regulatory changes in the financial market. In mobility, multimodal transport services, which complement and compete with traditional public transport, are increasingly being offered.

1 The 2021 figure has been adjusted (see Notes to the 2022 Group annual financial statements, Note 6.6, Geographical information).
2 Normalized figures for 2021, see the “One-off item in 2021” section on page 46 of the Financial Report.
3 The figures have been adjusted (see Notes to the 2022 Group annual financial statements, Note 2.2, Basis of accounting, Accounting changes).
4 The figure has been adjusted due to an enhancement of the calculation method. The figures from 2018 to 2020 are not comparable with the years 2021 and 2022.
5 The definition of rural municipalities has been adjusted in accordance with the new data collection from 2022 und retroactively adapted for 2021. It is based on the Seco ordinance on regional policy. The figures from 2018 to 2020 are not comparable with the figures from 2021 and 2022.
6 Until 2020, the minimum salary under the Swiss Post collective employment contract for an 18-year-old employee who has not completed vocational training was reported. As of 2021, the minimum salary for remote municipalities (region D) is now reported.
7 Factor = average remuneration paid to Members of Executive Management vs. average employee salary.
8 The base year 2021 is recalculated retroactively in the event of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries or changes in data quality, as 2021 is used as the base year for the 2030/2040 targets. The figures from 2018 to 2020 are not comparable with the years 2021 and 2022.
