(Figure 8UBSestimatesofIcenetworksharing). Should FX tailwinds persist, we think 2027 SEK10bn FCF guidance could be 12/26E 2.14 2.03 -5 2.27

pushed towards SEK11bn (UBSe now at SEK10.9bn, 4% ahead of consensus) after 12/27E 2.39 2.35 -2 2.53

change in policy and may also be limited by potential FTTH consolidation opportunities,

which could start materializing after the change in regulation, scheduled for mid-2027.

We note Telia owns just c30% of FTTH infrastructure in Sweden. See our Nordic

Telecoms Field Trip Feedback for detail on the theme incl. from PTS, the regulator.
