freenet: Quarterly figures surprise positively, bonus opportunity of 8.1 percent p.a.

Tax-free dividends? Yes, you can:

freenet surprises with a sharp jump in profits and exceeds analysts' expectations, while the streaming service

waipu.tv

becomes a growth driver. The share price rises significantly.

The German mobile and internet service provider has had a remarkable rollercoaster ride over the past 12 months. A brilliant spring rally to over EUR 35 was followed by an abrupt slide that put the share under significant pressure in the summer - since then, a tough sideways movement with a slight downward trend has dominated.

In the quarter under review, freenet suffered a slight decline in revenue to €615.0 million, compared to €619.8 million in the same period of the previous year. This was mainly due to a decline in the mobile business, which was partially offset by growth in waipu.tv. The subscriber base grew by 205,600 to a total of 10.4 million users in the first nine months, underlining the successful expansion of the streaming segment.

The days of tax-free dividends at Freenet are over for the time being! From 2026, dividends will be paid out with full deduction of capital gains tax and solidarity surcharge.

@Micha2024 The dividend distribution of freenet AG was paid in full from the tax contribution account in 2024. The payment was therefore made without deduction of capital gains tax and solidarity surcharge. In 2025, the dividend will be paid out with a partial deduction of capital gains tax. Around 60% of the dividend will be paid out without deduction of capital gains tax. From 2026, the dividend will be paid out with full deduction of capital gains tax and solidarity surcharge.

Domestic investors who acquired freenet AG shares after 31 December 2008 will realize a capital gain subject to withholding tax in the event of a sale. In the opinion of the German tax authorities, the distributions in this case reduce the acquisition costs of the shares for tax purposes and thus lead to a higher capital gain - and therefore to an implicit subsequent taxation of the dividends.
