United Internet gets off to successful start in fiscal year 2024 - Seite 2

Earnings per share (EPS) declined from EUR 0.43 to EUR 0.35. In addition to the development of EBIT (EPS effect: EUR -0.01), this was due to a lower result from associated companies (EPS effect: EUR -0.03), as well as increased interest expenses and a higher tax ratio (EPS effect in total: EUR -0.04).

Cash capex in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to EUR 139.7 million (prior year: EUR 144.8 million).

Outlook 2024
After concluding the first quarter of 2024, United Internet can confirm its full-year guidance and expects an increase in consolidated sales to approx. EUR 6.5 billion (2023: EUR 6.213 billion) as well as EBITDA growth to approx. EUR 1.42 billion (2023: EUR 1.30 billion). Cash capex is expected to be 10 – 20% above the prior-year figure (2023: EUR 756 million).
