News Summary:

Entel reported lower net income in the second quarter of 2025 due to exchange rate fluctuations affecting investments in Peru, despite a stable competitive landscape there. Challenges arose in Chile because of new biometric customer verification regulations, which negatively impacted customer acquisition. Fiber deployment costs caused a decrease in Entel's EBITDA margin, a trend expected to continue through 2026. Despite these challenges, Entel maintains a 48% share of the 5G market and secured approximately $500 million in financing to refinance a 2026 debt maturity. Separately, Entel plans to increase its Chilean fiber market share to 20-25% by 2028. In 2024, Entel won a CONECTA LATAM Award for Best Sustainability Initiative in Telecom of the Year.
