"The foundation and momentum we built in 2025 are reflected in our solid first-quarter results, with growth in service revenue, profitability and equity free cash flow. We continue to apply strict discipline and constant optimisation of our organisation - in terms of size, focus and capabilities - while investing in customer experience."
