\n\tThe company leverages the potential provided by the megatrend digitalization based on an excellent and award-winning network and customer service, complemented by leading market positions. The strong focus on the execution of its strategy and tight cost control resulted in top-in-class revenue and EBITDA growth, high profitability, and robust free cash flow.

A1 has the ambition to be A- rated by credit rating agencies and with having that target achieved since 2023, is one of the best-rated telcos in Europe, underpinning its financial strength. A consistent conservative financial profile promotes a sound financial profile and the flexibility for future growth opportunities. All that allows for a sustainable dividend development in line with its operational and financial performance. In the last six years, the dividend increased every year with >10% CAGR.
