For 2025, Deutsche Telekom announced a further share buy-back program of up to 2 billion euros, which started on January 3, 2025.
For 2025, the company expect to post the year-on-year trends, assuming a comparable consolidated group and constant exchange rates (U.S. dollar exchange rate of USD 1.08). Revenue is expected to increase in 2025, along with service revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA AL is expected to be around 44.9 billion euros in 2025. In the reporting year, adjusted EBITDA AL totaled 43.0 billion euros.
The company anticipates earnings per share, adjusted for special factors, of around 2.00 euros in 2025, based on the sound expected business development. It expects to see adjusted earnings per share increase sharply in 2026.
The company projects a slight decrease in profit/loss from operations (EBIT) in 2025 on account of the impairment reversal that was recognized as a special factor in 2024 on FCC licenses held by T Mobile US. It expects a sharp increase in 2026. Expected EBIT will benefit overall from the trend in adjusted EBITDA AL.
Earnings per share, adjusted for special factors, is expected to amount to around 2.5 euros in 2027.
