Status update summary
15 May, 2026Market and Contract Context
MSAs feature 8+8 year automatic renewals, 'All or Nothing' clauses, and change of control protection extending agreements to 2038, covering both existing and new towers/PoPs.
Preferred supplier rights ensure right of first offer and last refusal for new tower builds, with anchors prohibited from outsourcing new sites without offering a last call.
Inflation is fully CPI-linked with a floor at zero and no cap, averaging 2% over 10 years and 2.9% over the last five.
Over €10 billion invested in tower acquisitions as part of the long-term agreement signed in 2020.
MSAs are long-term, indivisible contracts, with competitive pricing due to operational efficiency.
Updated Financial Targets and Outlook
2026 revenue guidance set at €1.05–1.09 billion, with EBITDA margin around 90% and EBITDAAL margin about 72%.
Recurring free cash flow forecasted at €550–590 million for 2026, with annual CapEx around €200 million.
Ordinary dividend per share maintained at €0.55 for 2026, paid in 2027.
Leverage (net debt/EBITDA) projected at 5.5x, with a structural target of 5x–6x.
Medium-term outlook assumes low single-digit annual revenue growth, continued margin expansion, and potential upside from industry normalization and network densification.
Baseline Scenario and Market Assumptions
Baseline outlook assumes a stagnant, conflictual market with no densification or normalization, and only committed MSA revenues included.
Uncontracted recurring business has been paused or blocked, impacting 2026 revenues.
Guidance factors in possible legal escalation and ongoing uncertainty in customer relationships.
Significant investment needed for network densification could unlock further opportunities.
Business plan will be updated as market visibility improves, with a new plan expected in 2H26.
