Deutsche Telekom continued its growth path in the third quarter of 2025 and announced a record dividend. The DAX group has slightly increased its annual forecast for adjusted EBITDA AL and free cash flow AL for the third time this year. Adjusted EBITDA AL is now estimated at around 45.3 billion euros, while free cash flow AL is expected to rise to 20.1 billion euros. These adjustments are based on constant exchange rates and reflect the positive development of the subsidiary T-Mobile US.
In the past quarter, Deutsche Telekom recorded slight sales growth of 1.5 percent to 28.9 billion euros. Organically, i.e. without the influence of exchange rate changes and the scope of consolidation, growth was 3.3 percent. Analysts had expected Telekom to have an average turnover of 28.825 billion euros. In the home market, where sales had recently fallen for three quarters in a row, they fell by 1.8 percent. Analysts had assumed a sales decline of 1 percent in the German business.
Adjusted EBITDA AL increased marginally at group level by 0.2 percent to 11.1 billion euros. Analysts had estimated an average of 11.104 billion euros. Organically, adjusted EBITDA AL grew by 2.9 percent. The fact that the reported growth rates are lower is primarily due to the weaker US dollar compared to the previous year. Adjusted consolidated earnings increased by 14.3 percent to 2.7 billion euros, while the consensus estimate was 2.477 billion euros.
Free cash flow AL fell by 9.2 percent to 5.6 billion euros. Analysts had expected an average of 5.322 billion euros. As the DAX group also announced, shareholders will also receive a higher dividend this year: it will rise to 1.00 euros per share from 0.90 euros in the previous year. Next year, Telekom also plans to buy back its own shares with a volume of up to 2 billion euros. A year ago, Telekom announced that it would buy back its own shares with a volume of up to 2 billion euros for the current year.
