Montabaur, 11 November 2025 – 1&1 AG (ISIN DE 0005545503) recorded a decline of 50,000 contracts to 16.34 million customer contracts in the first nine months of 2025 (December 31, 2024: 16.39 million contracts. While broadband connections declined as expected by 90,000 contracts to 3.86 million (December 31, 2024: 3.95 million contracts), mobile internet contracts increased again by 40,000 new contracts to 12.48 million contracts (December 31, 2024: 12.44 million contracts). The increase in mobile internet contracts is entirely attributable to the third quarter.

Overall, revenue reached €3,016.2 million, remaining at the previous year's level (9M 2024: €3,017.2 million). While high-margin service revenue in the first nine months of 2025 was - as planned - slightly above the previous year's level at €2,479.3 million (9M 2024: €2,478.7 million), low-margin hardware sales remained slightly below the previous year's level at €536.9 million (9M 2024: €538.5 million).

Overall, EBITDA declined by 11.5% to €409.8 million (9M 2024: €463.0 million).

Due to lower EBITDA and increased depreciation and amortization, particularly as a result of the growing number of antenna sites in the 1&1 mobile network, EBIT declined to €175,4 million (9M 2024: €287.5 million). As a result, earnings per share (EPS) in the first nine months came to €0,63 (9M 2024: €1.11). Excluding the impact of PPA write-downs, earnings per share amounted to €0,86 (9M 2024: €1.28).

The investment volume (cash capex) amounted to €228,7 million (9M 2024: €70.8 million).

Forecast 2025

The company confirms its service revenue and earnings forecast and expects for 2025 a stable contract base and service revenue at the previous year's level (2024: €3,303.1 million).

EBITDA is expected to decline to approx. 545 million (2024: €590.8 million). This decline is due to a lower EBITDA in the Access segment, which is expected to reach approx. €810 million (2024: €856.1 million).

EBITDA in the 1&1 Mobile Network segment is expected to remain unchanged at approx. -€265 million (2024: -€265.3 million). This includes approximately -€100 million in expenses for customer migration and for network services, which will no longer apply after the complete migration of all customers starting from 2026.

The investment volume (cash capex) is now expected to amount to approx. €400 million (previous forecast: approx. €450 million; 2024: €290.6 million).
