Speaker #3: After the adjustment, today we present 3,039,000 multi-play customers, compared with 3,003,000 a year ago. Additionally, we excluded mobile internet services that we were not actively used from the internet RGU base.
Speaker #2: As part of our KPI review, we refined the definition of multi-play customers so that the reported base better reflects the services actively used by our customers.
Speaker #3: During the KPI review, we noticed that some customers didn't use the mobile internet SIM card, they received when they subscribed to a fixed internet service.
Speaker #2: We excluded inactive services and included fully fledged value-added services, such as streaming packages, priced at 40 or even 80 zlotys. We have restated the historical data to ensure full comparability.
Speaker #3: We therefore decided to eliminate those inactive cards from the RGU base to better reflect the service structure that generates our revenue. Again, for full transparency, we showed the adjustment on the bottom chart so you can clearly see the difference.

Solar generation was also lower. It was affected by less favorable weather conditions and by temporary limitations of renewable energy sources during periods of oversupply in the market.
Speaker #2: Solar generation was also lower. It was affected by less favorable weather conditions and by temporary limitations of renewable energy sources during periods of oversupply in the market.
Speaker #2: This confirms that short-term fluctuations can create volatility, while the longer-term trend remains much more stable. Looking at individual technologies, the strongest positive contribution came from wind power.
Speaker #2: To sum up, short-term production remains sensitive to external conditions. At the same time, wind is becoming an increasingly important part of our portfolio and is helping us to improve the quality of the resilience of the business.
Speaker #2: Wind generation increased by 14% in the quarter and by 40% in the first half of the year. This was mainly driven by the full contribution of the Rzeszów wind farm, which has significantly strengthened our generation portfolio.
Speaker #2: Please move to the next slide. Let me now turn to the financial performance of the segment. In the second quarter, EBITDA remained stable at around 65 million zloty.
Speaker #2: Biomass generation was lower year-on-year. This was our internal business decision. We adjusted production to weaker market conditions and feedstock availability. In other words, we concentrated on profitability over volume.
Speaker #2: This is a solid result, especially considering the weaker performance of biomass and solar generation. Higher contribution from wind assets helped us to offset those pressures.
Speaker #2: Solar generation was also lower. It was affected by less favorable weather conditions and by temporary limitations of renewable energy sources during periods of oversupply in the market.
Speaker #2: The picture becomes even stronger when we look at the first half of the year. EBITDA increased by almost 34% year on year to 164 million zloty.
Speaker #2: To sum up, short-term production remains sensitive to external conditions. At the same time, wind is becoming an increasingly important part of our portfolio and is helping us to improve the quality and resilience of the business.
Bartłomiej Drywa: To sum up, short-term production remains sensitive to external conditions. At the same time, wind is becoming an increasingly important part of our portfolio and is helping us to improve the quality of the resilience of the business. Please move to the next slide. Let me now turn to the financial performance of the segment. In Q2, EBITDA remained stable at around PLN 65 million. This is a solid result, especially considering the weaker performance of biomass and solar generation. Higher contribution from wind assets helped us to offset those pressures. The picture becomes even stronger when we look at the H1 of the year. EBITDA increased by almost 34% year-on-year to PLN 164 million. The key driver was the full contribution of the Drzeżewo Wind Farm. It expanded the scale of our operations and significantly strengthened profitability. Let me conclude my part with two key messages.

Speaker #2: The key driver was the full contribution of the Rzeszowa wind farm. It expanded the scale of our operations and significantly strengthened profitability. Let me conclude my part with two key messages.
Speaker #2: First, our renewable energy portfolio is now largely complete and operates with a strong focus on highly efficient wind assets. Second, while quarterly results may still fluctuate, due to the weather, market, and regulatory factors, the long-term picture is becoming increasingly attractive.
Speaker #2: Please move to the next slide. Let me now turn to the financial performance of the segment. In the second quarter, EBITDA remained stable at around 65 million zloty.
Speaker #2: This is a solid result, especially considering the weaker performance of biomass and solar generation. A higher contribution from wind assets helped us to offset those pressures.
Speaker #2: The investments are completed. Wind capacity is fully contributing. Capital expenditure is falling. And the benefits are becoming more visible in earnings and cash generation.
Speaker #2: The picture becomes even stronger when we look at the first half of the year. EBITDA increased by almost 34% year on year to 164 million zloty.
Speaker #2: Thank you for your attention. That concludes my part of the presentation. I will now hand over to Anna who will take you through the group's financial results.

Speaker #3: This increase was mainly related to the cash outflow connected with spectrum reservations. Let me now move on to the key drivers behind our revenue and EBITDA growth in the second quarter.
Speaker #3: Net profit increased by 53% year on year, to 173 million zloty. This reflects stronger operating performance, while financing costs remained stable. Cash generation also remained very strong.
Speaker #3: Next slide, please. As I already mentioned, all of our EBITDA growth this quarter came from our two core business areas: the B2C and B2B services segment, and the media segment.
Speaker #3: Adjusted free cash flow for the last 12 months was close to 1 billion zloty, up 33% compared with the end of 2025. This clearly demonstrates the Group's ability to generate recurring cash flows.
Speaker #3: In the B2C and B2B services segment, revenue increased by 60 million zlotys. As Maciek explained earlier, this improvement was mainly driven by strong ARPU growth and the successful execution of our multi-play strategy.
Speaker #3: Our net debt-to-EBITDA ratio for the last 12 months remains under control. At the end of June, it stood at 3.63, slightly above the level reported at the end of 2025.
Speaker #3: As a result, our retail revenue increased by over 50 million zlotys, almost 3% year on year. Additionally, we recorded better equipment sales, which grew by 3.4% year on year, combined with continued cost discipline, especially in marketing and customer service, this translated into a 12 million zlotys increase in EBITDA of this segment.
Speaker #3: This increase was mainly related to the cash outflow connected with spectrum reservations. Let me now move on to the key drivers behind our revenue and EBITDA growth in the second quarter.
[Company Representative] (Cyfrowy Polsat): Let me now move on to the key drivers behind our revenue and EBITDA growth in Q2. Next slide, please. As I already mentioned, all of our EBITDA growth this quarter came from our two core business areas, the B2C and B2B services segment and the media segment.

Speaker #3: Next slide, please. As I already mentioned, all of our EBITDA growth this quarter came from our two core business areas: the B2C and B2B services segment, and the media segment.
Speaker #3: In the media segment, revenue increased by 6 million zlotys, higher revenue from cable and satellite operators more than offset the lower TV advertising and sponsorship revenue that Janusz discussed earlier.
Speaker #3: In the B2C and B2B services segment, revenue increased by 60 million zloty. As Maciek explained earlier, this improvement was mainly driven by strong ARPU growth and the successful execution of our multi-play strategy.
Speaker #3: We also continued our cost efficiency initiatives in this segment. As a result, media segment EBITDA increased by 17 million zlotys. As I mentioned before, growth in the green energy segment was mainly driven by the delivery of 30 hydrogen buses to Kraków and Rzeszów.
Speaker #3: As a result, our retail revenue increased by over 50 million zloty, almost 3% year on year. Additionally, we recorded better equipment sales, which grew by 3.4% year on year. Combined with continued cost discipline, especially in marketing and customer service, this translated into a 12 million zloty increase in EBITDA for this segment.
Speaker #3: Following this delivery, we have completed all hydrogen bus deliveries planned for 2026. EBITDA in this segment remained stable compared to last year. The underlying operational and market factors were already discussed by Bartek earlier in the presentation.
Speaker #3: In the media segment, revenue increased by 6 million zloty. Higher revenue from cable and satellite operators more than offset the lower TV advertising and sponsorship revenue that Janusz discussed earlier.
[Company Representative] (Cyfrowy Polsat): Higher revenue from cable and satellite operators more than offset the lower TV advertising and sponsorship revenue that Janusz discussed earlier. We also continued our cost efficiency initiatives in this segment. As a result, media segment EBITDA increased by 17 million PLN. As I mentioned before, growth in the green energy segment was mainly driven by the delivery of 30 hydrogen buses to Kraków and Rzeszów. Following this delivery, we have completed all hydrogen bus deliveries planned for 2026. EBITDA in this segment remained stable compared to last year. The underlying operational and market factors were already discussed by Bartek earlier in the presentation. In the real estate segment, Q2 results were stable year-on-year. They were mainly supported by commercial property leasing. We are still waiting for the construction permit for our new residential project at Krowia Street.

Speaker #3: We also continued our cost efficiency initiatives in this segment. As a result, media segment EBITDA increased by 17 million zloty. As I mentioned before, growth in the green energy segment was mainly driven by the delivery of 30 hydrogen buses to Kraków and Rzeszów.
Speaker #3: Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter excludes a positive impact of 10 million zlotys, related to one of items. These were sales of non-core assets in the media segment, and the B2C and B2B services segment.
Speaker #3: Following this delivery, we have completed all hydrogen bus deliveries planned for 2026. EBITDA in this segment remained stable compared to last year. The underlying operational and market factors were already discussed by Bartek earlier in the presentation.
Speaker #3: With that, let me turn to free cash flow on the next slide. We continue to generate strong and recurring free cash flows. Over the last 12 months, we generated close to 1 billion zlotys, of adjusted free cash flow after interest and excluding capex related to the green energy segment.
Speaker #3: In the real estate segment, second-quarter results were stable year on year. They were mainly supported by commercial property leasing. We are still waiting for the construction permit for our new residential project at Krowia Street.
Speaker #3: The starting point is higher adjusted EBITDA, which reached 3.2 billion, on the last 12 months basis. You can also see that we have positive contribution from working capital.
Speaker #3: However, it was lower than in previous quarters. This mainly reflects our decision to increase smartphone inventory in response to developments in the global memory and equipment markets.
Speaker #3: Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter excludes a positive impact of 10 million zloty related to one of the items. These were sales of non-core assets in the media segment, and the B2C and B2B services segments.
[Company Representative] (Cyfrowy Polsat): Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 excludes a +10 million PLN impact related to one-off items. These were sales of non-core assets in the media segment and the B2C and B2B services segment. With that, let me turn to free cash flow on the next slide. We continue to generate strong and recurring free cash flows. Over the last 12 months, we generated close to 1 billion PLN of adjusted free cash flow after interest and excluding CapEx related to the green energy segment. The starting point is higher adjusted EBITDA, which reached 3.2 billion PLN on last 12 months basis. You can also see that we have positive contribution from working capital. However, it was lower than in previous quarters. This mainly reflects our decision to increase smartphone inventory in response to developments in the global memory and equipment markets.

However, it was lower than in previous quarters. This mainly reflects our decision to increase smartphone inventory in response to developments in the global memory and equipment markets.
Speaker #3: Another important factor affecting free cash flow is interest and lease payments, adjusted for the impact of hedging instruments. I would like to highlight that following last year's interest rate cuts, our debt service costs are gradually going down.
Speaker #3: With that, let me turn to free cash flow on the next slide. We continue to generate strong and recurring free cash flows. Over the last 12 months, we generated close to 1 billion zloty of adjusted free cash flow after interest and excluding CapEx related to the green energy segment.
Speaker #3: This, of course, supports our free cash flow. The full effect of interest rate cuts is not yet visible in this chart, we estimate full-year interest savings at around 170 million zlotys.
Speaker #3: The starting point is higher adjusted EBITDA, which reached $3.2 billion on a last 12 months basis. You can also see that we have a positive contribution from working capital.
Speaker #3: Free cash flow for the last 12 months was also affected by one-off payments related to spectrum reservations. I'm referring here to the 700 megahertz spectrum won in last year's auction, and the renewal of the 900 megahertz reservation in January this year.
Speaker #3: However, it was lower than in previous quarters. This mainly reflects our decision to increase smartphone inventory in response to developments in the global memory and equipment markets.
Speaker #3: Another important factor affecting free cash flow is interest and lease payments, adjusted for the impact of hedging instruments. I would like to highlight that, following last year's interest rate cuts, our debt service costs are gradually going down.

I would like to highlight that following last year's interest rate cuts, our debt service costs are gradually going down. This, of course, supports our free cash flow. The full effect of interest rate cuts is not yet visible in this chart. We estimate full year interest savings at around PLN 170 million. Free cash flow for the last 12 months was also affected by one-off payments related to spectrum reservations. I am referring here to the 700 MHz spectrum won in last year's auction and the renewal of the 900 MHz reservation in January this year. Together, these payments exceeded PLN 800 million. Here, let me reiterate what we have been saying several times before. The next major spectrum renewals are not expected until 2029.
Anna Miller-Pytlak: Another important factor affecting free cash flow is interest and lease payments adjusted for the impact of hedging instruments. I would like to highlight that following last year's interest rate cuts, our debt service costs are gradually going down. This, of course, supports our free cash flow.

Speaker #3: Together, these payments exceeded 800 million zlotys. Here, let me reiterate what we have been saying several times before. The next major spectrum renewals are not expected until 2029.
Speaker #3: This, of course, supports our free cash flow. The full effect of interest rate cuts is not yet visible in this chart. We estimate full-year interest savings at around 170 million zloty.
Speaker #3: In addition, we acquired the remaining minority stakes in several companies in the media segment. We also see the reversal of the one-off asset disposal effect that I mentioned on the previous slide.
Speaker #3: Free cash flow for the last 12 months was also affected by one-off payments related to spectrum reservations. I'm referring here to the 700 megahertz spectrum won in last year's auction, and the renewal of the 900 megahertz reservation in January this year.
Speaker #3: Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted last 12 months free cash flow after interest amounted to 716 million zlotys. Over the last 12 months, we invested 265 million in the development of our green energy business.
Speaker #3: Excluding this investment, adjusted last 12 months free cash flow reached 981 million zlotys. This confirms the strong cash generation capacity of our core operations.
Speaker #3: Together, these payments exceeded 800 million zloty. Here, let me reiterate what we have been saying several times before: The next major spectrum renewals are not expected until 2029.
Speaker #3: At this point, I would like to reaffirm the free cash flow guidance for 2026. We continue to expect adjusted free cash flow after interest to reach the high hundreds of millions of zlotys this year.
Speaker #3: In addition, we acquired the remaining minority stakes in several companies in the media segment. We also see the reversal of the one-off asset disposal effect that I mentioned on the previous slide.
[Company Representative] (Cyfrowy Polsat): In addition, we acquired the remaining minority stakes in several companies in the media segment.

This confirms the strong cash generation capacity of our core operations. At this point, I would like to reaffirm the free cash flow guidance for 2026. We continue to expect adjusted free cash flow after interest to reach the high hundreds of millions of zlotys this year. Let me now move on to CapEx on the next slide. CapEx, as ever, remains under control.
Anna Miller-Pytlak: In addition, we acquired the remaining minority stakes in several companies in the media segment.

CapEx, as ever, remains under control.
Speaker #3: Let me now move on to capex on the next slide. Capex as ever remains under control. Our core businesses, the B2C and B2B services segment, and the media segment remain structurally capexized.
Speaker #3: Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted last 12 months free cash flow after interest amounted to 716 million zloty. Over the last 12 months, we invested 265 million in the development of our green energy business. Excluding this investment, adjusted last 12 months free cash flow reached 981 million zloty.
Speaker #3: Both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year, our TMT operations maintained a capex-to-revenue ratio of around 7%. This remains fully in line with our long-term guidance range of 6 to 8%.
Speaker #3: This confirms the strong cash generation capacity of our core operations. At this point, I would like to reaffirm the free cash flow guidance for 2026.
Speaker #3: At the same time, we have completed our investments in the green energy segment. Capex in this area is five times lower than last year.
Speaker #3: We continue to expect adjusted free cash flow after interest to reach the high hundreds of millions of zloty this year. Let me now move on to CapEx on the next slide.
Speaker #3: I expect total capex for renewable energy in 2026 to stay below 150 million zlotys. Our disciplined approach to capex, together with the completion of renewable energy investments, will support our key priority in the coming quarters: gradual deleveraging.
Speaker #3: Capex, as ever, remains under control. Our core businesses—the B2C and B2B services segment, and the media segment—remain structurally capex-light. Both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year, our TMT operations maintained a capex-to-revenue ratio of around 7%.
[Company Representative] (Cyfrowy Polsat): Our core businesses, the B2C and the B2B services segment and the media segment, remain structurally CapEx light. Both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year, our TMT operations maintained a CapEx to revenue ratio of around 7%. This remains fully in line with our long-term guidance range of 6% to 8%. At the same time, we have completed our investments in the green energy segment. CapEx in this area is five times lower than last year. I expect total CapEx for renewable energy in 2026 to stay below PLN 150 million. Our disciplined approach to CapEx, together with the completion of renewable energy investments, will support our key priority in the coming quarters: gradual de-leveraging. Please move to the next slide. Our debt profile remains stable.
Anna Miller-Pytlak: Our core businesses, the B2C and the B2B services segment and the media segment, remain structurally CapEx light. Both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year, our TMT operations maintained a CapEx to revenue ratio of around 7%.

Speaker #2: I will read them one by one. Where do you currently stand with Cellnex and future collaboration on the network rollout? Has there been any updates to contractual conditions you think are worth mentioning?

Speaker #1: The churn, as you can see, is under control because we treat the churn between 6 and 8% is our goal. So it's very low churn here.
Speaker #1: But of course, the churn is the churn effect is the effect of pushing RPU. So when you push RPU up and when you see we accelerated RPU by 6.5%, so there is a little bit more churn.
Speaker #2: And Bojan's last question: And lastly, what was the reason for the much improved income tax expenses this quarter?
[Company Representative] (Cyfrowy Polsat): Bojan's last question. Lastly, what was the reason for the much improved income tax expenses this quarter?

Actually, the strategic review of the assets we have started in the first quarter of this year, we followed in the second quarter and it's a part of the preparation of our long-term strategy, which will be announced, as I mentioned, at the beginning of the presentation.
Speaker #1: Then, consolidation of services in our new multiplay offer under one ID. In both quarters this year, we have a higher volume of contracts which end in these quarters.

Speaker #1: Autumn this year, please let us share with all our thoughts and with all our plans together once we'll be ready with the announcement.
Speaker #2: Thank you, Bartek. We have seen one of your competitors complete a fiber M&A deal. Do you have any expectation on how this might impact fiber pricing in the sector or if it could impact market competition?
