Strong Operational Performance: Telefonica reported solid results for Q1 2025, with revenue growth in Spain (1.7% YOY) and Brazil (6% YOY), driven by improved customer engagement and service offerings. The company's core markets showed resilience, with customer growth in all access points and significant improvement in NPS scores, particularly in Spain.
Network Expansion & Transformation: Telefonica continues to enhance its network capabilities, having rolled out fiber to over 1.5 million premises and achieving 75% 5G coverage in core markets. This positions the company for future growth, especially in digital services and B2B segments, which increased by 5.4% YOY.
Divestitures and Strategic Review: The company successfully completed the sale of its operations in Argentina and Peru, with further agreements in Colombia. These moves are expected to simplify Telefonica's structure, reduce debt (forecasted at €25.8 billion post-sales), and improve financial flexibility, though there are uncertainties regarding the timing of future cash flows from Colombia.
