Serghei Bulgac, CEO of Digi Communications, stated: “We are very pleased with the continued growth across all our markets, both in the established geographies such as Romania and Spain, and in our newer operations in Portugal and Belgium. This first quarter brings the highest organic growth in terms of RGUs exceeding 1 million users for the entire Group. In Spain, we surpassed several important thresholds in the first quarter of 2025: 6 million mobile users, 2 million broadband subscribers and more than 9 million users in total. Meanwhile, our newest markets show encouraging early traction, and we remain committed to building long-term value there. Following the historic results achieved in 2024, the strong support from our investors reinforces our confidence in our strategy and execution. As we continue to expand and consolidate our footprint across Europe, we believe it is equally important to deliver returns to our shareholders. Therefore, in line with our commitment to increase the dividend year after year since our IPO, we are pleased to propose a gross dividend of RON 1.35 per share for the 2024 financial year.”
