1min read Cyfrowy Polsat SA (FRA:CP9) recently released its Q3 2024 earnings call, revealing robust financial performance and strategic advancements. The company's adjusted EBITDA increased by 12.7%, driven by strong operating performance, cost control, and a focus on green energy initiatives.
The Polish telecommunications giant expanded its 5G Plus network to over 3,800 transmitters, covering 25 million people with 5G and 16 million with 5G Ultra, a service comparable to fiber optic speeds. This expansion attracted more customers to multi-play services, increasing the number of users by 50,000 YoY and driving a 3.6% YoY retail revenue growth. With 5G's higher data transfer speeds, Cyfrowy Polsat SA can offer more attractive bundled services, further boosting sales.
Cyfrowy Polsat SA's acquisition of exclusive broadcasting rights to the Formula 1 Grand Prix races from 2025 to 2028 also contributed to its EBITDA growth. The company's sports content offering has been enhanced, attracting more subscribers and increasing revenue. The company's EBITDA growth was also boosted by its expansion of the 5G Plus network and the launch of test production of green hydrogen.
Cyfrowy Polsat SA's green energy initiatives significantly contributed to its EBITDA growth in Q3 2024. The company produced over 300 GWh of electricity, up 57% YoY, generating PLN82 million in EBITDA. This segment is expected to contribute PLN500-600 million annually by 2026. The green energy segment's success can be attributed to better energy prices, ahead-of-schedule wind farm projects, and Poland's slower energy transition. Additionally, the company began test production of green hydrogen and installed a 2.5 MW electrolyzer, further boosting its green energy portfolio.
