Need for Reform The dependence of HayPost on public services is described in terms of the following 2 services. 1. Postal services  Revenues and volumes of postal services are mainly directed by state institutions (election-notices, referendum, court, traffic police, etc.)  Low-level engagement in the most competitive and profitable market segments, such as express and messenger communication  Limited volumes of e-commerce and door-to-door delivery services  The postal business is predominantly focused on the segments of traditional services  Postal services are accompanied by low productivity; each postal office generates about 13,000 AMD per day 2. Financial services  The predominant portion of financial services income is generated through the services provided by state institutions, such as payments of pensions and social benefits  The number of annual transactions of pensions and social benefits delivery reduced by 20% from 2011-2016; the relative stability of income was maintained due to increase of amounts of pensions and social benefits  The engagement in the most competitive and profitable segments of the market, such as money transfers, is less than 1%  Each postal office generates 13,000 AMD per day from financial services 4
