These documents follow the Memorandum of Understanding concluded on July 24, 2025, and aim to expand the deployment of fiber and the access to gigabit in Wallonia. They have been shared with the Belgian Competition Authority and the Belgian Institute for Postal services and Telecommunications and will only be concluded once required regulatory clearances is obtained.

Matthieu Bouchery, Chief Financial Officer, stated:

In the first half of 2026 we experienced a notable growth across key financial and operational metrics. Our service revenues reached €792 million, reflecting a 0.7% increase compared to the previous year. This growth reflects our effective value management of the customer base.

This positive trend highlights the strength of our business model amid a challenging environment. Coupled with continuous focus on cost management, including synergies and operational efficiencies, our EBITDAaL improved significantly by more than 10%, reaching €293 million, supported by one-offs and seasonal effects.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing our strategic initiatives and we upgrade our guidance for 2026 in EBITDAaL where we foresee a growth above 5% and keep our eCAPEX at circa €360m.
