Topi Manner, CEO of Elisa, discussed the company’s second-quarter 2026 results in an interview with InderesTV. He stated that the quarter’s main headline was continued improvement in EBITDA, primarily due to successful cost measures, and that mobile business indicators had normalized. In fiber business, Manner said Elisa signed its first large-scale data center connectivity agreements in Finland, and also announced a partnership with Lumokodit covering 44,000 apartments, supporting fiber growth in apartment buildings. Manner attributed delays in some customer projects, particularly in Italy and Germany, to geopolitical uncertainties, the Iran conflict, and rising energy prices, which he said made clients cautious about new production facility investments. He noted that Elisa did not lose deals in the second quarter and expects international software services revenue to grow 5–10% for the full year. Manner stated that the mobile market’s normalization should support mobile service revenue in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter.
