INWIT began 2026 broadly in line with its annual guidance, as first-quarter revenues slipped 0.8% year on year to €264.1 million amid a challenging market and the halt of non-guaranteed activities and new business initiatives. Despite this, the tower operator maintained a high EBITDA margin of 90.7%, generated €189.9 million in EBITDAaL and €81 million in net profit, while sustaining €81.9 million of investments and holding leverage steady at 5.2 times EBITDA.

Management highlighted that the results reflect uncertainty in relations with key customers and a wider context of restrained discretionary spending by operators, but reiterated its commitment to industrial solutions that leverage INWIT’s unique network. With recurring free cash flow up 11.5% to €176.2 million and a modest rise in the tenancy ratio, the group confirmed both its 2026 guidance and medium-term baseline outlook, signaling continuity for investors despite slower growth and higher net debt.
