• The divestment provides immediate value realization, full cash sale, and execution certainty, enhancing financial flexibility and strategic optionality in European markets.

• Tax and transaction costs are estimated at 1%-1.5% of gross proceeds, resulting in a relatively small deduction from the incoming funds.

Financial and operational impact

• Excluding India, revenues decrease by about EUR 220 million, but EBITDA margin improves by 40 basis points to 16.5% and EBIT margin by 50 basis points to 7.6%; lease adjustments could add another 20-30 basis points to EBITDA margin improvement.

• Indian unit contributed €220.5 million in revenue and €26.1 million in EBITDA over the last twelve months.

Strategic direction and guidance

• The divestment allows for a stronger focus on core European markets, with ample organic and potential acquisition-driven growth opportunities, especially in Poland, Romania, and Germany.

• Margin improvement guidance remains, with the impact of India’s exit expected to be muted due to its 10% revenue share and lower margin profile.

• No immediate changes to midterm financial targets; further updates will be provided after transaction completion.

• Management and capital will be redirected to core European operations, maintaining a strong platform for growth.

• Focus will shift to expanding network and services, improving capacity utilization, leveraging synergies, and accelerating technology initiatives in Europe.
