Second quarter of 2026 (compared with the same period a year ago):
First half of 2026 (compared with the same period a year ago):
Comment by Giedrė Kaminskaitė-Salters, CEO of Telia Lietuva:
We are closing the first half of 2026 with an impressive result. Interim service revenue grew by 6.7 per cent, equipment sales revenue increased by 7.2 per cent and interim EBITDA exceeded the threshold of EUR 100 million for the first time while EBITDA margin stood above 40 per cent.
During January-June of 2026, free cash flow generated from our activities was 12.5 per cent higher than a year ago.
The end of June 2026 was marked with two milestones related to the continuous development of our mobile network.
In June, we acquired two 1,500 MHz frequency blocks for almost EUR 8 million and stood out as the largest investor in the 1,500 MHz frequency band in an auction organized by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA). The Company received the largest share of these frequencies sold – 40 MHz, which will be used for further development of the 5G network.
Along with this achievement, Telia Lietuva also extended its right to use the 2,100 MHz frequency band in another auction, committing to pay another EUR 2 million for this right.
The 1,500 MHz frequency band is used to increase the capacity of mobile communication networks and ensure more efficient data transmission. This specific frequency, according to the standard, is exclusively focused on data downloading.
Additional frequencies become especially important with the growth of video content consumption, the use of cloud services and other activities generating large data flows. In addition, the frequency will enable higher download speeds in remote areas.
In addition, we announced that during 2026 we will invest EUR 7.1 million in expanding our mobile network. The investment will fund the construction of 50 new base stations, the modernization of 300 existing sites and the upgrade of around 130 additional locations with new radio equipment.
As part of this investment, Telia Lietuva will also install around 30 new base stations in 2027 on towers built under the state-funded RAIN broadband infrastructure programme. These sites will improve mobile coverage in so-called "white areas" – locations where mobile connectivity has previously been limited.
Mobile data traffic in Lithuania is growing by around 25 per cent annually, one of the fastest growth rates in Europe. This consistently increases the load and requires continuous investment in capacity and quality of the network, which customers experience every day when using communication services.
Considering the solid financial position of the Company and following the Annual General Meeting’s decision, in May 2026, we have distributed EUR 86.1 million as dividends to the shareholders of Telia Lietuva for the year 2025. It was a record high EUR 0.14 dividend per share payout.
Andreas Ekström, Head of Telia Asset Management at Telia Company , has joined the Telia Lietuva’s Board following the shareholders decision to substitute Hannu-Matti Mäkinen, who has resigned from the Board to purse his new responsibilities within Telia Company Group.
A further change in the Company’s management took effect on 1 July 2026. Vaidas Dominauskas was appointed Head of Enterprise, succeeding Aurimas Žlibinas. Mr. Dominauskas rejoined the Company after serving as CEO of Regitra and having previously worked at the Company until the end of 2021.
