Proximus - Domestic EBITDA remains resilient; fibre JV approval in focus

Proximus recently signed the long-form cooperation agreement with Wyre and Telenet in

Flanders, while it expects Wallonia to follow a similar framework with a timeline roughly three

months behind. Management stressed that Flanders JV implementation is still subject to final

regulatory approval, involving both the telecom regulator and the competition authority, and

did not provide any guidance on timing. With regard to the on-going fibre rollout, the slower Q1

fibre build was attributed to seasonality and the nearing completion of dense areas, and

Unifiber’s funding needs were addressed via a convertible loan, with Proximus reiterating that

consolidation is contractually foreseen for 2031 but could be assessed earlier if value-

accretive. Proximus says that pricing pressure remain intense in mobile – particularly at the low

end. On the domestic EBITDA outlook, management flags headwinds in later quarters from tax

provision reversals and salary indexation, consistent with full-year guidance for broadly stable

EBITDA.
