1&1 Reports Nine-Months Figures 2026
Montabaur, 12 November 2026. 1&1 AG (ISIN DE 0005545503) posted in the first nine months of 2026 a decline of -240,000 mobile internet contracts to 12.24 million contracts. This was especially due to the repositioning of the discount tariff portfolio in April. This involved discontinuing the marketing of particularly low-cost tariffs and reducing the data allowances included in high-performance tariffs. The number of broadband contracts increased by 20,000 to 3.86 million contracts. Revenue grew in the first nine months of 2026 by 1.2% to €3,401.8 million (comparable prior-year figure: €3,360.3 million, including 1&1 Versatel), whilst high-margin service revenue amounted to €2,712.2 million (comparable prior-year figure: €2,745.7 million, including 1&1 Versatel) slightly below previous year's level. 1&1 AG’s earnings in the third quarter were impacted by non-recurring expenses of approximately €60.0 million related to a comprehensive transformation and restructuring programme at 1&1 Versatel. EBITDA adjusted for these effects (comparable operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) increased by a total of 11.4% in the first nine months of 2026 to €593.3 million (comparable prior-year figure: €532.8 million, including 1&1 Versatel). In the Consumer & Small Business segment, operating EBITDA declined by 2.1% to €598.2 million (comparable prior-year figure: €611.0 million), including an impact of -€16.5m from the discontinuation of cost capitalisation following the change of the roaming partner (no impact on EBIT). In the Enterprises & Networks segment, operating EBITDA improved significantly to - €4.9 million (comparable prior-year figure: - €78.2 million, including 1&1 Versatel). Including the effects of 1&1 Versatel’s transformation and restructuring programme, EBITDA amounted to €533.3 million (comparable prior-year figure: €532.8 million, including 1&1 Versatel). Operating EBIT increased to €179.3 million (comparable prior-year figure: €102.6 million, including 1&1 Versatel). The strong increase was driven not only by higher EBITDA but also by lower depreciation and amortisation charges overall. Higher depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were offset by lower PPA amortisation. Including the costs of the transformation and restructuring programme at 1&1 Versatel, EBIT rose to €119.3 million. Operating earnings per share (EPS) increased to €0.30 in the first nine months of 2026 (comparable prior-year figure: €0.06, including 1&1 Versatel). Including the costs of the transformation and restructuring programme at 1&1 Versatel, earnings per share amounted to €0.07. The investment volume (cash capex) amounted to €359.3 million (comparable prior-year figure: €437.4 million, including 1&1 Versatel)
Forecast 2026 1&1 expects service revenue for financial year 2026 to be at the previous year's level (2025 including 1&1 Versatel FY: €3,661.8 million). Due to non-recurring expenses related to the transformation and restructuring programme at 1&1 Versatel, 1&1 AG revised its EBITDA forecast for financial year 2026 to approximately €740 million (2025 including 1&1 Versatel FY: €689 million), as announced in September 2026. EBITDA adjusted for these effects (comparable operating EBITDA) is still expected to be around €800 million, which is in line with the previous EBITDA forecast. The investment volume (cash capex 2026) is expected to amount to approximately €500 to 550 million (2025 including 1&1 Versatel FY: €652 million).
Outlook 2027 and 2028 For financial years 2027 and 2028 1&1 AG also expects operating EBITDA to increase by approximately €100 million per year. Cash capex is expected to remain at a similar level to 2026.
