—Growth of 115,020 net subscribers in Totalplay Residencial in the period strengthens the company’s service revenues—

 —EBITDA less Capex and interest reached Ps.883 million, the highest level ever recorded for a first quarter—

—A 9% reduction in debt with cost from loans provides additional strength to the company’s capital structure—

MEXICO CITY, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Total Play Telecomunicaciones, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Total Play”), a leading telecommunications company in Mexico, which offers internet access, pay television and telephony services, through one of the largest 100% fiber optic networks in the country, announced today financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

“The growing preference of millions of homes for our technologically advanced internet services, with superior stability and speed, resulted in a net increase of 115,020 subscribers in the quarter, which continued to drive the company’s revenue,” commented Eduardo Kuri, CEO of Total Play. “The growth of our operations was consistent with the Capex which represented only 22% of revenue, and interest payments that decreased double-digit, in the context of lower debt with cost at the company. This resulted in a 51% increase in cash generation — defined as EBITDA less Capex and interest paid — reaching a record high of Ps.883 million in the period.”

“Regarding the balance sheet, we began this quarter with the amortization schedule for the Senior Secured Notes due 2028 — through a principal payment of US$15 million for the period — which adds to the US$56 million amortization of the remaining balance of the Senior Notes due in 2025 — done in the previous quarter — which, among other debt payments, contributed to a 9% reduction in our balance of debt with cost from loans,” added Mr. Kuri. “Simultaneously, we were able to decrease our lease liabilities by 30% and our trade payables by 22%, further strengthening Total Play’s solid capital structure.”

First quarter results 

Revenue for the quarter was Ps.11,177 million, 3% higher than Ps.10,843 million for the same period of the previous year. Total costs and expenses were Ps.6,328 million, compared to Ps.5,761 million in the prior year.

As a result, Total Play’s EBITDA was Ps.4,849 million, from Ps.5,082 million a year ago; the quarter’s EBITDA margin was 43%. The company reported operating profit of Ps.301 million, compared to Ps.763 million a year earlier.

Total Play reported a net loss of Ps.1,327 million from a loss of Ps.1,961 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Revenue from services 

The company’s revenue increased 3%, as a result of 3% growth in sales in the residential segment and 4% growth in revenue from the enterprise segment.

Totalplay Residential’s revenue increase to Ps.9,848 million, up from Ps.9,570 million the previous year, is related to a 4% increase in the number of the company’s service subscribers compared to the same quarter of the previous year, reaching 5,554,374 this period — a figure that includes 67,856 small and medium-sized businesses. Compared to the previous quarter, the subscriber base increased by 115,020 users. The company believes that the number of subscribers achieved this quarter reflects its remarkable ability to offer technologically advanced internet services — with superior stability and speed — continuous innovation in its entertainment platform, and service excellence.

Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) for the quarter was Ps.588, compared to Ps.597 a year ago. The decrease in ARPU is largely related to a growing proportion of double-play subscribers compared to triple-play subscribers within the total residential subscriber base.

The number of homes passed by Total Play in Mexico at the end of this period was 19.5 million, compared to 17.6 million a year ago.

Penetration — the proportion of homes passed by Total Play that have the company’s telecommunications services — was 28.5% at the end of the quarter from 30.2% a year ago.

Revenue from the enterprise segment was Ps.1,329 million, up from Ps.1,273 million in the previous year, as a result of contracting Total Play services for the development of corporate client projects.

Costs and expenses 

Total costs and expenses increased 10% as a result of a 4% increase in service costs and a 12% increase in expenses.

The increase in costs to Ps.1,663 million from Ps.1,597 million in the previous year, results mainly from higher costs related to memberships, maintenance and support, partially offset by lower content costs — as a result of a higher proportion of double play users in the mix of residential service subscribers and the negotiation of terms, in an optimal way, with content producers —.

The increase in expenses to Ps.4,665 million from Ps.4,164 million reflects higher maintenance, personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, in the context of the company’s growing operations.

EBITDA and net result 

Total Play’s EBITDA was Ps.4,849 million compared to Ps.5,082 million the previous year.

Relevant variations below EBITDA were the following:

An increase of Ps.229 million in depreciation and amortization, as a result of user acquisition costs — telecommunications equipment, labor and installation in the period.

A Decrease of Ps.189 million in accrued interest payable, in the context of reducing the company’s debt with cost balance during the period.

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments of Ps.921 million, due to costs related to hedging options in the previous year.

Other financial income of Ps.31 million, compared to other expenses of Ps.200 million in the previous year, as a result of costs related to debt issuances a year ago.

A, increase of Ps.109 million in exchange losses as a result of net liability monetary position in foreign currency, together with greater depreciation of the peso against the basket of currencies in which the company’s monetary liabilities are denominated this quarter, compared to the previous year.

Total Play reported a net loss of Ps.1,327 million from a net loss of Ps.1,961 million in the same period of 2025.

Balance sheet

As of March 31, 2026, the company’s debt with cost from loans was Ps.55,477 million, 9% lower than the Ps.60,806 million of the previous year. The reduction resulted from various debt with cost amortizations during the period, including US$15 million of the company’s Senior Secured Notes due 2028 this quarter and US$56 million of the remaining Senior Notes due 2025, done last November, partially offset by the issuance of US$200 million in Additional Notes to the Senior Secured Notes due 2032, announced in April 2025.

Lease liabilities were Ps.2,756 million, 30% lower compared to Ps.3,917 million in the previous year.

Cash and cash equivalents, as well as restricted cash in trusts, was Ps.6,477 million, compared to Ps.10,008 million a year ago. As a result, the company’s net debt was Ps.51,756 million, 5% lower compared to Ps.54,715 million in the previous year.

The debt ratio — Net Debt / EBITDA of the last two quarters annualized — was 2.62 times.

Total Play’s fixed assets — which include accumulated investment in fiber optics, telecommunications equipment and subscriber acquisition costs, among other assets — were Ps.79,312 million, compared to Ps.85,944 million a year ago.
