Düsseldorf, November 6th, 2025

ecotel – a nationwide leading quality provider for business customers – looks back on successful 9 months in the year 2025. The strategic focus as a multi-service provider is having a lasting impact: As planned, group revenue was further increased and reached 90.0 million EUR (previous year: 85.6 million EUR).

The high-margin business customer segment performed particularly well, with ecotel increasing its revenue by 2.4 million EUR to 37.4 million EUR. The consistent focus on multi-service provider projects, which address companies with multiple locations, as well as high-quality product and solution components, significantly contributed to this growth.

The strategic focus is also clearly reflected in the gross profit: with 27.0 million EUR compared to 24.5 million EUR in the previous year, ecotel was able to record a significant increase. The increase results from efficiency gains of the scalable platforms as well as the targeted focus on high-margin product combinations and services.

The operational EBITDA also developed positively, increasing by approximately 10 % to 6.0 million EUR (previous year: 5.4 million EUR). In addition to revenue growth, an attractive product portfolio and ongoing process optimizations were particularly responsible for the positive development of results.

Despite one-off, operationally adjusted expenses of 0.8 million EUR in connection with strategic realignment, the Group's net income was doubled compared to the previous year, demonstrating the company's sustainable profitability.

Free cash flow after the first nine months was –0.6 million EUR due to tax payments and changes in working capital, representing a significant improvement compared to previous quarters.

The proposal for a dividend distribution of 0.29 Euro per share adopted at the general meeting of 27.Juni 2025 resulted in a payout of 1.0 million EUR in the third quarter.
 
The board remains optimistic about the final quarter of 2025 and sees ecotel strategically and operationally well positioned to continue on its established path of profitable growth. Against the backdrop of the previous business development, the company expects to meet the annual forecast.
