Customer count spikes and robust U.S. market performance: Telekom boosts yearly objectives - Rising Customer Base and Strong U.S. Operations Lead to Elevated Yearly Goals: Telekom Amends Financial Aims
Hey there! Let's dive into the fascinating world of Deutsche Telekom, a global Titan in the telecommunications sector. This Badass Bavarian giant just hiked its annual targets, and there's a compelling reason behind it - a whopping surge in the US market, particularly with their subordinate, T-Mobile 🧒💼.
So, what's the beef? Well, Deutsche Telekom oddly enough, earned more than two-thirds of its revenue from the United States. T-Mobile, their darling U.S. affiliate, added a stonking 1.3 million new customers in the first quarter, bumping the grand total up to nearly 131 million, which is a cool ten million more than last year. That's right, you heard it! T-Mobile added over a million customers in a single quarter. Impressive, isn't it?
But, let's hop back to Germany, you're not forgotten! The number of mobile customers in old Deutschland swelled by 274,000 in the first quarter. Likewise, the number of those hooked up to pure fiber optic connections in the fixed network bloomed by 128,000, ending up at a snappy 1.6 million. The operating profit in Deutschland, the Motherland, surged a respectable 2.3% compared to the previous year.
Just to set the scene, Deutsche Telekom's CEO, Tim Hoettges, put it rather bluntly, "Despite a challenging environment, we once again demonstrate resilience." These guys are resilient, all right - rock on! 🤘
Now, you might be wondering, why the change in annual targets? The company has wisely reassessed its 2025 goals, and it seems the improved performance in the US and a stronger dollar have boosted its financial muscle. With this newfound financial vigor, Deutsche Telekom now aims for an operating profit of approximately €45 billion (yes, BILLION) and free cash flow of around €20 billion. That's €44.9 billion and €19.9 billion up from their prior estimates, respectively.
So, in summary, Deutsche Telekom's shining star, T-Mobile, has helped pump up their numbers, and they've decided to bet big on themselves in 2025. With a larger pile of cash and higher subscriber numbers, this company is shooting for the stars! 🚀 Cycle on! 🚴♂️
