Based on information currently available to management, and subject to uncertainties, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group estimates that:

Accordingly, VEON now anticipates delivering results above the 2025 Outlook previously communicated with its own 3Q25 disclosure on November 10, 2025.

Disclaimers
This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to, among other things, VEON Ltd.’s financial performance for the full year ended December 31, 2025, Kyivstar Group’s preliminary year-over-year growth numbers, as well as Kyivstar Group’s ability to achieve anticipated results and business objectives. There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially from those expressed by such statements, including risks relating to VEON Ltd.’s financial performance for the full year ended December 31, 2025, Kyivstar Group’s preliminary year-over-year growth numbers, as well as Kyivstar Group’s ability to achieve anticipated results and business objectives, among others discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in VEON’s 2024 Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 25, 2025 and other public filings made by VEON with the SEC, as well as the final prospectus filed by Kyivstar Group with the U.S. Securities and exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 18, 2025, as amended and supplemented from time to time, and in any other subsequent filings with the SEC by Kyivstar Group.
The preliminary financial results presented in this press release are based on Kyivstar’s current estimates and are subject to completion of Kyivstar’s financial closing procedures and the audit by Kyivstar’s independent registered public accounting firm. Kyivstar’s actual results may different materially from these preliminary estimates as a result of the completion of year-end closing procedures, final adjustments, and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results are finalized. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for full audited financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Kyivstar cannot provide a reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures Adjusted EBITDA and Capex Intensity for the year ended December 31, 2025 without unreasonable effort, given that Kyivstar is unable to estimate the amounts of certain components of the IFRS profit (loss) for the period, including income taxes and net gain (loss) on foreign exchange, and IFRS intangible assets and certain costs which impact the IFRS property, plant and equipment. Due to the nature of certain reconciling items, it is not possible to predict with any reliability what future outcomes may be with regard to the expense or income that may ultimately be recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025.
