Inpost shares rose after the company said revenue, net profit and volumes rose in the second quarter, and that volumes continued to grow in the third quarter.

The e-commerce logistics company said Friday that revenue was 2.62 billion Polish zloty ($679.7 million) compared with 2.13 billion zloty the year before. The company said its performance was particularly robust in Poland and the U.K., which is its fastest-growing market.
Net profit rose to 336.4 million zloty from 128 million zloty.
The company said year-on-year parcel volumes rose 23% to 264.4 million.
Inpost said in the third quarter it continues to see volume growth of around 20% at group level, with Poland's volume growing in the mid to high teens. It added that it expects revenue in the period to exceed the volume growth rate by a low to mid-single digit.
