Proximus meets headwinds/Daughter Proximus Global reduces FY25 outlook
Proximus has lowered its FY25 outlook because Proximus Global encountered unexpected headwinds. Although Proximus performed relatively well in Belgium, domestic competition is another source of uncertainty. Notably, Proximus is making slow progress to roll out fibre in Belgium together with competitors. The Proximus notes offer limited value, in our view.

KPN on track for a strong FY25/Strong competition not denting its perf...
This morning, KPN presented good 2Q25 results, although the equity market seems to have been a bit disappointed by KPN's cash generation in 1H25. Nevertheless, we take it as a positive that KPN has raised its FY25 outlook and remain constructive on its notes. The KPN notes look somewhat attractive compared to some notes of Orange.

KPN Good commercial momentum, raises outlook following one off IPR tai...
KPN reported a good set of 2Q25 results, with adj. service revenues up 3.7% to € 1339m (kbcse: € 1325m, css: € 1329m). The strong performance was largely driven by B2B, as well a strong commercial momentum in broadband and mobile net adds. While the 6.4% adj. EBITDAal increase to € 670m came in comfortably above our expectations (kbcse: € 658m), we want to highlight that the Adj. EBITDAal was positively impacted by a € 9m tailwind related to IPR claims. These claims are expected to have an addit...
