Many strong results, the third guidance increase this year, and a planned record-high dividend payment. Deutsche Telekom continues to grow reliably. Net revenue grew in the third quarter by 3.3 percent year-on-year in organic terms – i.e., excluding the effects of changes in exchange rates and the composition of the Group – to 28.9 billion euros. Service revenues were up 3.6 percent on an organic basis. At the same time, adjusted EBITDA AL grew 2.9 percent in organic terms to 11.1 billion euros. Mainly spurred by the weaker U.S. dollar year-on-year, in arithmetical terms, the reported growth rates declined by 1.5 percent for revenue, 2.2 percent for service revenues, and 0.2 percent for adjusted EBITDA AL.
