Iliad is unstoppable: the operator has just closed another record quarter

Iliad is, more and more, a reference point in the telecommunications market in Italy. The operator, which has made headlines in recent weeks for its advertising campaign featuring Megan Gale, continues to grow, both in terms of financial results and users. The strategy adopted since its launch in the Italian market continues to be successful.

Iliad's Numbers

Iliad's growth has also been confirmed by AGCOM during the latest Communications Survey. The operator has provided updated data at the end of the first quarter of 2026 that reaffirms the growth in Italy.

Regarding mobile telephony, Iliad counts 12.669 million users with a net balance of +115 thousand new users compared to the previous quarter. Growth continues in the fiber optic sector, where Iliad has 537 thousand active lines (it is worth noting that the operator offers only FTTH fiber plans). The increase compared to the previous quarter is 41 thousand lines.

The growth in terms of customers is remarkable. In the mobile telephony sector, Iliad continues to grow and has been number one for net user balance for 32 consecutive quarters. Meanwhile, fixed telephony is becoming increasingly important and is set to play a key role in the future, thanks to the expanding fiber coverage.

In terms of financial data, Iliad reached 331 million euros in revenues for the quarter, an increase of 11.2% compared to the same period last year. Other financial metrics are also on the rise: EBITDA grew from 89 to 111 million euros while the operating free cash flow reached 59 million euros.
