Organic service revenues expanded by 4.1 percent to reach €26 billion. Adjusted EBITDA AL rose 8 percent organically to €12.2 billion. Non-organic growth metrics were 7.5 percent for revenue, 6.1 percent for service revenues, and 9.9 percent for adjusted EBITDA AL.

“Our robust performance metrics are establishing industry benchmarks,” stated Tim Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom. “The consistently strong results achieved over several years validate our current strategic direction.” Adjusted net profit grew 12.7 percent to €3 billion, while free cash flow AL increased 1.4 percent to €5.7 billion.

Deutsche Telekom has upgraded its full-year guidance, reflecting improved expectations for the T-Mobile US subsidiary.

The free cash flow AL forecast was adjusted to €20.1 billion, while recurring adjusted earnings per share remains at €2.20.

Following this business development, the company intends to increase shareholder distributions.

Furthermore, the company authorized share buybacks valued at up to €2 billion for the 2027 calendar year.
