Comment from Jean Marc Harion, President and Group CEO of Tele2

“Tele2’s financial performance in 2025 stands out, especially in a global telecom context. We reached a spectacular full year underlying EBITDAaL growth and increased our full-year Equity Free Cash Flow by 42%, following a transformation of the company delivered in record time. We raised the bar for our financial performance and at the same time made the decision to return to our true challenger roots.”

“Looking ahead, 2026 will be a different – but equally exciting – year. With most of the fundamentals now in place and a new profitability standard established, we increase our focus on short and long-term growth opportunities.”
