OVERVIEW OF QUALITY OF SERVICE PERFORMANCE QUARTER 4 2017-18 In the quarter, the full-year Standards were achieved or exceeded by the Standard for Correctly Delivered Mail and USO Outgoing European mail. The results in the quarter for USO First Class, the geographical Standard for Delivered in the Postcode Areas, the USO Standard for Collections, the USO Standard for Deliveries and Special Delivery were below the full-year target. For USO Second Class, Royal Mail s overall performance of 98.4 per cent was within the 98.5 per cent target range when allowing for the margin of error in sampling. The Company notes the full year outcomes were significantly impacted by a number of exceptional events. These factors included a very challenging industrial relations environment, some very severe weather, Cyber Week falling outside the exemption period and significantly reduced staffing levels caused by the Australian flu outbreak. Royal Mail believes that, if 2017-18 performance was adjusted for these factors, we would have achieved our USO First Class target. Royal Mail will ask Ofcom to take these issues into consideration. It will be for Ofcom to decide. In the year to date, 71 of 118 postcode areas met or exceeded their targets. Allowing for the margin of error in sampling, 95 of 118 postcode areas were within the target range. The Company believes that, if the 2017-18 performance was adjusted for the exceptional events outlined above, an additional 44 postcodes would meet or exceed their targets. This would result in a total of 115 postcodes meeting or exceeding their targets, allowing for the margin of error in sampling.

Notes: 1. DUSP condition 1.9 Tables 1 and 2 of the regulatory conditions detail the domestic and EU standards and performance targets. 2. The Quarter 4 reporting period for all measures was 2 January to 25 March 2018 (12 weeks). 3. Special Delivery has been adjusted for an overstatement of performance due to an incorrect handling of manual entries where no time of delivery has been recorded. 4. PCA performance figures exclude results from any panellists situated in locations that are not scheduled to receive a daily delivery and/or collection. Results from these panellists are, however, included in the national results. 5. The USO 1 st and 2 nd Class performance figures (overleaf and in table 1) include Single Piece PPI mail in addition to Stamped and Metered mail. 6. The percentage of collection points served daily (overleaf and in table 1) and the percentage of collections at or after the final advertised time (table 1) are based on collections from post boxes and Post Office branches only. The following report details results for Quarter 4 against the DUSP condition 1.9 domestic and EU standards and performance targets. In addition, the DUSP condition requires Royal Mail to provide quarterly results against the following standards which do not have specified targets. These are: The percentage of deliveries in the UK which are made by the latest delivery times. The percentage of collections in the UK which are made from post boxes and Post Office branches at or after the final advertised time of collection. USO priority services purchased by postage stamp and by meter: deemed delivered with an actual routing time of D+1 in each of the postcode areas HS, KW and ZE. The report also includes information on the quality of service given to access mail as required by condition USPA 8.1: The percentage of Downstream Access products which are delivered on the first working day after receipt by Royal Mail. The report includes, in accordance with condition CP 3.3.16 the quarterly statement on consumer complaints, covering complaints about a USO or regulated product made by a customer who does not have a contract for the product concerned. 2

Accuracy Denotes the range within which we can be 95% confident the true Quality of Service lies. For a measured Quality of Service performance of 93.0% and an accuracy of +/- 0.2%, the range would be from 92.8% to 93.2%. 1 Special Delivery is for all Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1PM items. The regulatory target is for Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1PM other than when sold to users having an account with Royal Mail buying the service using their account. The Royal Mail measurement system is unable to separate performance for account and non-account customers in this way. Special Delivery performance is measured using live mail items, not a sample survey and a confidence limit does not apply. 2 The postcode area delivered target is based on 1 st Class Stamped and Metered performance only and the performance for each postcode is shown in table 2. 3 Performance is based on collections from post boxes and Post Office branches only. 4 The Correctly Delivered Mail survey measures all items delivered by Royal Mail and not only USO items. 5 Results are calculated by the International Postal Corporation (IPC), based on the UNEX measurement data. They cover the flows between the UK and the other 27 EU member states. Results for the Christmas period are not included in the Royal Mail reported figures and are therefore not comparable to the UNEX results published annually by IPC on behalf of its European members. 6 Performance is based on collections from post boxes and Post Office branches only. 3
