Investments in development contributed to improved operating results and profitability.

Sales revenue totalled EUR 178.7 million, an increase of 4% relative to the same period in 2025. Revenues were up on account of growth in the number of users and higher sales of IT merchandise and services.

Active monitoring of geopolitical impacts and financial effects
The Telekom Slovenije Group regularly monitors the development of the geopolitical situation and its potential impact on operations, particular with regard to supply chains, energy prices, the availability of crucial equipment, the implementation of investments, cyber security and cost efficiency.
Based on information available at the beginning of May, the Telekom Slovenije Group assesses that risks are being managed through previously implemented and planned measures, and that there is currently no basis for revising published business objectives or strategies for 2026. The Group will continue to actively monitor the situation, and adjust measures in a timely manner and inform the public of any material impacts in the event of significant changes.
Disproportionate regulation hinders Telekom Slovenije’s development potential
Telekom Slovenije is currently the only operator in Slovenia that is regulated by the Agency for Communication Networks and Services (AKOS) in the fixed broadband internet access segment, despite the fact that it is no longer the leading operator in the aforementioned segment, where its market share is slightly less than 29% (source: Q3 2025 AKOS). Telekom Slovenije also has a significantly lower market share than other incumbent European operators. The Company operates in an environment in which excessive and disproportionate regulation hinders its development potential. Telekom Slovenije continues its efforts to achieve balanced regulation that is based on actual market conditions.
This announcement will also be accessible on Telekom Slovenije, d.d.’s website (www.telekom.si) for a period of no less than 10 years from the date of publication. Management Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.
