Commercial performance — Telecom

Telecom operations showed sequential improvement in broadband net adds across markets. Virgin Media O2 optimized fixed commercial initiatives and launched O2 Satellite (first UK operator to offer direct‑to‑device satellite connectivity). VodafoneZiggo saw broadband net adds improve for a fourth straight quarter under its new plan; Telenet delivered its best broadband performance in over 10 years. Virgin Media Ireland posted another quarter of wholesale growth and fifth consecutive quarter of positive postpaid mobile net adds.

Ziggo / VodafoneZiggo transaction & spin‑off timeline

Liberty Global is on track with Ziggo Group plans: the acquisition of Vodafone’s 50% stake in VodafoneZiggo is expected to close in July, and the company is building the required elements to spin off its interest to shareholders in the second half of 2027.

Liberty Growth portfolio activity

The company continued rotating capital in Q1, exiting half of its 5% ITV stake and part of its EdgeConneX holding. Combined disposal proceeds were approximately $180 million in the quarter and about $300 million through April. The Growth portfolio had a fair market value of $3.4 billion at March 31, 2026, with the top five investments representing roughly 65% of that value. Liberty Blume was reclassified into a new "Services" pillar to reflect a greater focus on third‑party revenue.

Liberty Corporate — operating model & Adj. EBITDA outlook

Management reported a substantial reshaping of the corporate operating model, which they say will drive roughly a 75% improvement to the adjusted EBITDA outlook for the year versus 2024. The company remains focused on identifying further efficiencies and delivering shareholder value.

Liquidity & capital allocation

Liberty Global ended Q1 2026 with $1.9 billion in consolidated cash, reflecting disciplined capital allocation and continued non‑core asset disposals as the company rotates capital into higher‑growth investments and strategic transactions.
