** Shares in Polish parcel locker company InPost INPST.AS fall 5.8% as it reported a fall in Q2 adjusted EBIT and slowdown in EBITDA growth

** Its adjusted earnings before interest and tax were down 1.6% at 545.3 million zlotys ($149.79 million) in Q2 from 554 million zlotys last year

** "EBIT was lower than our expectations, mainly due to additional costs incurred in connection to the Yodel acquisition and business optimization," Erste Group analysts say

** The group's Q2 EBITDA growth came in at +13% from +24% last quarter as UK expansion was weighing on profitability, as well as a softer e-commerce market in Poland, Jefferies analysts add

** The group also revised its annual volume guidance in Poland and now expects a high single-digit growth from a previous forecast of high single-digit to low double-digit growth

** Shares in InPost are on track for their worst day since July 1, if losses hold

($1 = 3.6405 zlotys)
