Freenet AG Reports Record Growth and Dividend Increase

Freenet AG has announced a 5.1% increase in its dividend to EUR 2.07 per share, marking the fifth consecutive increase. The company credits its strong postpaid customer growth of over 300,000 new customers in 2025 and significant advancements in its IPTV EBITDA, particularly through its waipu.tv platform. Freenet has also reorganized its leadership to streamline operations and better integrate AI into its processes.

The firm reported stable financial figures, with revenues dropping slightly by 1.5% to EUR 2,439.9 million. Despite this, the company's performance in its mobile and IPTV segments indicates potential for future growth. Waipu.tv's adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 36 million, demonstrating its financial scalability.

CEO Robin Harries has emphasized the strategic integration of AI within the company, aiming to position Freenet as an AI-first entity in the German market. The company's ambition for 2028 includes an adjusted EBITDA target of at least EUR 620 million, underpinned by waipu.tv's expected significant contribution.
