Canada Post lost $277 million before taxes in the second quarter of 2025, a significant improvement from the $407 million loss in the same period last year, according to CP24. The postal service attributes the turnaround to labour stability following new collective agreements with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and a strong recovery in its parcels business.
Despite the quarterly improvement, Canada Post's first-half revenue fell $159 million or 7% compared to the same period in 2024, CTV News reported. The service is pushing forward with aggressive reforms, including converting 621,000 homes from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes in late 2026 and 2027.
Parcels Business Drives Quarterly Gains
Canada Post's parcels revenue jumped 20.7% year-over-year in Q2 2025, Castanet reported. This strong performance in parcels, combined with new labour agreements that eliminated costly disruptions, helped the postal service narrow its quarterly losses significantly despite ongoing structural challenges in the mail business.
First-Half Results Show Deeper Financial Strain
While Q2 improved, Canada Post's broader financial picture remains dire. Over the first six months of 2025, revenue dropped $159 million or 7% compared to 2024, CTV News reported. The service posted a combined $482 million loss before tax for the first half of 2025, compared to $448 million in the same period of 2024—meaning the year-to-date losses are actually worsening.
Delivery Network Overhaul Targets 621,000 Homes
To stem losses, Canada Post is converting hundreds of thousands of homes from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes. The ambitious plan will affect 621,000 residences starting in late 2026 and continuing through 2027, according to CP24. This reflects the service's push to cut costs in a mail business that continues to decline as Canadians shift to digital communications.
