In the background, Deutsche Telekom has been busy revising its annual targets. These changes are mostly due to their stellar financial performance, such as the soaring customer numbers reported, particularly from T-Mobile USA. Their Q1 2025 results showed some impressive mobile net additions in the US, with postpaid net adds climbing from 1,220,000 in Q1 2024 to 1,337,000 in Q1 2025[3]. This growth, combined with a stronger dollar, convinced the company to lift its guidance for 2025. Now, Deutsche Telekom anticipates an adjusted EBITDA AL of approximately €45 billion, up from the previously projected €44.9 billion[1][2][3].
Moreover, the company's revenue growth was largely driven by the booming US market, with US revenue increasing by 9.9%[5]. While the surge in customer numbers played a part in the optimistic outlook, other factors like the stronger dollar and standout Q1 results were also key contributors[4][5]. So grab a front-row seat to witness the unstoppable juggernaut that is Deutsche Telekom!
