Published on 08/17/2026 at 15:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
1&1 AG (DE0005545503) is trading with a fresh Q1 backdrop after reporting 906.8 million euro in revenue, 173.7 million euro in EBITDA, and 6.7 million customer contracts for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The quarter also showed a clear comparison point: EBITDA rose from 159.0 million euro in the same period a year earlier, while customer contracts increased from 6.5 million to 6.7 million.
Profitability improved
The company reported that its operating result improved in the June quarter, with EBITDA climbing by 14.6 million euro year over year. Revenue and customer growth moved in the same direction, which points to a better mix in the core telecom and broadband base.
For investors, the comparison that matters is the spread between scale and earnings quality. Revenue of 906.8 million euro and EBITDA of 173.7 million euro give the latest reported quarter a more solid shape than the prior-year period.
Customer base expanded
1&1 said it ended the quarter with 6.7 million customer contracts, up from 6.5 million a year earlier. That 200,000-contract increase is modest in absolute terms, but it still matters because the group is trying to grow while protecting margins.
The most useful lens is operational momentum rather than day-to-day share moves. A higher contract base and a stronger EBITDA line together suggest the business is moving in the right direction as the year progresses.
Product and service mix
1&1's broadband, mobile, and related telecom services remain the core of the business, with contract growth driven by recurring customer relationships rather than one-off sales. That model typically puts more weight on retention, usage, and margin discipline than on short bursts of revenue.
Shares and valuation context
