Iliad continues to grow and, at the end of September, exceeds the threshold of 8 million users in Italy. In the third quarter of 2021, 345,000 new users chose the operator that revolutionized the mobile telephony market with very aggressive offers, which thus holds a 10.5% share of the Italian market. Quarterly turnover, of 207 million euros, is up sharply compared to 2020: by 21% in the 3rd quarter and by 22.1% in the first 9 months of 2021. As it prepares to launch its fixed network services, iliad is continuing to rapidly develop its latest generation mobile network throughout the country and has exceeded the 8,200 sites already active, in line with the annual target of 8,500 active sites.

The iliad distribution network is also constantly expanding, which currently has 23 Flagship Stores, more than 1,500 Simboxes distributed at iliad Corners and large retailers, over 450 iliad Points in newsstands and tobacconists, and more than 2,000 Iliad Express in supermarkets, large distribution and BookStore. The iliad Group’s turnover amounted to 1.91 billion euros in the quarter with a growth of 34.6% compared to 2020, driven by the consolidation of Play in Poland, and by the solid growth of Free in France and iliad in Italy.
The Group’s turnover for the first 9 months of the year was 5.63 billion euros, up by 34.0%. The iliad Group currently has 40.8 million users in Europe, of which 33.7 million mobile users and 7.1 million users for fixed network services.
