United Internet AG Reports Positive Growth in First Nine Months of 2026

United Internet AG experienced growth in the first nine months of 2026. The company saw an increase in customer contracts, totaling 770,000 new agreements, bringing the total to 30.49 million. Sales rose by 3.0% to EUR 4.638 billion. The EBITDA improved by 10.0% to EUR 1.063 billion, while EBIT grew by 25.4% to EUR 555.7 million.

The company invested in customer relationships and new contracts, contributing to sustainable growth. Notably, 690,000 contracts were added within the "IONOS" segment, and 300,000 in the "Mail & Media" segment. However, the "1&1" segment saw a decline of 220,000 due to a tariff realignment.
