A1 Croatia ended the third quarter of 2026 among the markets contributing to service revenue growth, while A1 Group’s international operations once again drove consolidated performance. The quarterly disclosures, however, do not provide separate financial amounts for Croatia: there are no Croatian revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA after leases or capital expenditure figures for either the quarter or the first nine months.
