Cellnex Telecom SA ( (ES:CLNX) ) has shared an announcement.
Cellnex Telecom reported a strong first quarter of 2026, with revenue (excluding pass-through) rising to €984 million and adjusted EBITDA climbing to €832 million, driven by network densification demand and efficiency gains that lifted the EBITDAaL margin to 60.5%. Cash generation marked a turning point as recurring leveraged free cash flow grew 12.2% to €378 million, overall free cash flow swung to a positive €118 million, and per-share free cash flow rose 18%, supported by disciplined capex and an ongoing share buyback programme.
The group continued to execute its capital allocation strategy by paying a €250 million dividend in January, progressing a €500 million share buyback, and bolstering balance sheet flexibility through the €373 million sale of its French data centre business and additional portfolio disposals. With €6 billion in available liquidity, mostly fixed-rate debt at low average cost, and a reaffirmed outlook for 2026–27, Cellnex is reinforcing its financial resilience and positioning as a key infrastructure partner for European mobile operators, while committing to progressive shareholder returns.
