Poșta Română reports record gross profit of 117 million lei in first ten months
Romania's state postal operator says its gross profit for the first ten months has reached 117 million lei, well above 2024 gross revenue of 85 million lei, which had been the largest in its recent history.
Poșta Română has reported a record gross profit of 117 million lei for the first ten months of the year, a figure that far exceeds the 85 million lei in gross revenue the company recorded across the whole of 2024. That earlier year had been the largest gross revenue in the company's recent history, which makes the new result a notable milestone for the state-owned postal operator.
The company's leadership says the business is no longer the one the public knew a few years ago. Poșta Română describes a firm whose activity and profile have shifted considerably, though the source material does not spell out in detail which parts of the operation have changed or how. What is clear from the figures is that the gap between this year's performance and the previous record is substantial, with the ten-month total already more than 30 million lei above the full-year 2024 revenue figure.
The comparison is striking because it measures a partial year against a full one. Reaching a higher figure in ten months than the company generated in all of the previous year points to a significant acceleration in earnings over the period. The reporting does not break down the sources of this growth, so it is not possible to say from the available material how much of the increase comes from core postal services, parcel delivery or other business lines.
The announcement was published as a business feature on Profit.ro, which framed the figures as a sign of how far the company has moved from its traditional image. Readers who knew Poșta Română mainly as a letter and counter service are being presented with a different picture of a company now measured by its margins and growth rather than only by its public service footprint.
Poșta Română's announcement comes at a time when postal operators across Europe have been adapting to changing customer habits, with traditional letter volumes falling and parcel and logistics services taking a larger role. The company's claim that it has become a different business reflects that broader pattern, though the excerpt available does not include further detail on specific strategic decisions, investments or partnerships behind the change, nor any formal reaction from competitors or regulators.
