United Internet (ETR:UTDI) reported higher first-quarter revenue and earnings for fiscal 2026, with management saying customer growth at IONOS and Mail & Media helped offset stable contract numbers at 1&1 and ongoing cost pressures tied to the mobile network rollout.
Chief Financial Officer Carsten Theurer said the company’s customer contracts increased by 380,000 in the first three months of 2026 to 30.1 million. Group revenue rose 2.5% to more than EUR 1.55 billion, while EBITDA increased 2.4% to EUR 331.9 million. EBIT rose by more than 15%, which Theurer attributed to a significant decrease in purchase price allocation depreciation.
