Liberty Global Reports Q3 2026 Results
Liberty Global reported Q3 2026 consolidated revenue of $1.92 billion, up 59.1% as reported on the VodafoneZiggo consolidation but up only 1.0% rebased, with consolidated net earnings of $547.7 million versus a loss a year earlier.
Underlying trends were mixed: rebased consolidated Adjusted EBITDA fell 13.7% YoY, VMO2 revenue declined 5.0% on UK competitive pressure, while VodafoneZiggo returned to revenue growth and Telenet posted its sixth straight quarter of broadband net adds.
VMO2 outlined a strategic plan targeting £800 million of run-rate cost reductions by 2029, including a 30% people-cost cut, and will halt its own fiber upgrade plan while continuing to support nexfibre.
The Ziggo Group spin-off remains on track for Q2 2027, with synergies now expected to exceed the prior €1 billion NPV estimate, a €669m towers sale agreed for deleveraging, and $100m of buybacks completed in Q3 with another $100m planned in Q4.
