Key Points

Positve
  • Telekom Austria AG (WBO:TKA) reported a solid total revenue growth of 4.1% in Q2 2025, driven by strong performance in international operations, particularly in Belarus, Croatia, and Bulgaria.
  • The company achieved a significant increase in free cash flow, reaching €333 million, nearly 100% more than the previous year, due to lower capital execution and optimized working capital utilization.
  • Telekom Austria AG (WBO:TKA) added 330,000 new postpaid mobile customers, with 30,000 in Austria, demonstrating strong customer acquisition efforts.
  • The IoT business saw substantial growth, with over 2 million new subscribers added across the group.
  • The company confirmed its guidance for 2025, expecting total revenue growth of 2-3% and maintaining a capital expenditure target of around €800 million, excluding spectrum costs.
Negative
  • The Austrian market remains challenging due to a weak economy and high competition, particularly from MVNOs, impacting service revenue growth.
  • EBITDA declined by close to 1% in Q2 2025, partly due to increased investments in advertising, commissions, and subsidies in Austria.
  • The fixed broadband customer base in Austria declined by 37,000, reflecting difficulties in the fixed-line segment.
  • The company faces regulatory challenges in Austria, with high fiber rollout costs and low take-up rates, hindering further fiber investments.
  • Telekom Austria AG (WBO:TKA) is experiencing a decline in Austrian mobile ARPU, exacerbated by lower indexation rates compared to the previous year.
