CEE remains a highly diverse region, with varying economic, political and
inflationary developments. Growth is primarily driven by foreign
investment, EU integration, tourism and industrial expansion, while
geopolitical uncertainties continue to create challenges. The telecom
sector remains resilient, supported by 5G and fiber expansion, growing
data demand, digitalization, AI adoption, and continued network
densification. Data traffic across Central and Eastern Europe continued to
grow strongly in HY/2026, driven by increasing digitalization and AI
adoption, reinforcing demand for 5G, fiber and network capacity. Industry
analysts expect this upward trend to continue for the foreseeable future
as digitalization accelerates across both consumer and enterprise
segments. (Source: GSMA Intelligence, July 2026)

Market Highlights

“I am pleased to report that our third-party revenue grew by 32.5% YoY,
while we continue to execute a significant volume of projects scheduled
for delivery this and next year. A large share of these projects is in
Austria and supports our Anchor Tenant in fulfilling the 5G coverage
obligations in the white-zone areas. While these deployments may
temporarily limit short-term tenancy growth, they create attractive
long-term opportunities for additional co-location and revenue expansion.
Across our CEE footprint, we operate in markets that are still in the
early stages of digital infrastructure expansion, offering substantial
untapped potential. This creates a significant growth opportunity for us
as a tower infrastructure provider. 2026 is a particularly important year,
marked by the rollout of a large number of new sites. These investments
will further strengthen our market position and support future tenancy
growth as network demand continues to increase”, said Ivo Ivanovski, CEO
EuroTeleSites.

Financials

Revenue increased by 8.4% YoY to 75.9 mEUR. Excluding the non-recurring
revenue effect of approximately 2.4 mEUR related to the finalization of
customer projects, adjusted revenue growth was 5.0%, or 3.5 mEUR. On the
whole, Q2 showed a strong performance supported by indexation, third-party
tenant growth (+32.5%) and infrastructure expansion. A key indicator of
the strength and scalability of our business model is the EBITDAaL margin.
It reached a level of 56.6% at the end of Q2. This reflects the true,
recurring operating performance of the business, as it accounts for
lease-related costs and provides a clearer picture of the underlying
profitability and sustainability of the operations. EBITDAaL adjusted is
at 41.6 mEUR, attributable to higher revenues and partially offset by
higher maintenance and higher leases. CAPEX amounted to 11.4 mEUR and
remains on plan, primarily driven by mandatory upgrades in the amount of
6.0 mEUR, maintenance of 1.1 mEUR and rollout of new sites of 4.3 mEUR.
Several upgrades were carried out at the anchor tenant’s request,
including installations of new multiband antennas and to prepare the sites
for future use of third parties.

“In Q2/2026 we have delivered solid financial results. The recent rating
actions by the rating agencies Moody’s and Fitch reflect their confidence
in the strength of our business model, disciplined financial management
and consistent execution. Moody’s reaffirmed our investment-grade rating
Baa2 and revised its outlook to positive, while Fitch recently upgraded
our rating to BBB with a stable outlook”, said Lars Mosdorf, CFO
EuroTeleSites.

EuroTeleSites Outlook
In 2026, EuroTeleSites will remain focused on the core activities: leasing
passive infrastructure, executing mandatory upgrades, expanding its tower
portfolio, and integrating additional third-party tenants to further
strengthen the tenancy ratio. Growth will continue to be supported by the
ongoing rollout of 5G across all markets and rising data consumption, with
lease contracts adjusted annually for inflation.

Management expects revenue growth of approx. 4-5% for the financial year
2026. Positive cash flow will continue to be directed toward deleveraging,
in doing so, EuroTeleSites is increasingly benefiting from improved
interest rate conditions and the resulting lower financing costs.
Furthermore, EuroTeleSites continues to expand its infrastructure to
further increase 5G coverage, particularly in Austria. The initiative
includes a larger than usual construction program for the following years,
providing additional towers for the anchor tenant and improving
connectivity for end customers. As a result, the CAPEX-to-revenue ratio is
expected to be around 25%. In total, the construction of more than 400 new
sites is planned.

Overall, management reaffirms its strategic course and believes the
company is well positioned to achieve its growth and financial targets for
2026.
