Strong operational results and continued progress toward Ziggo Group spin-off in 2027

Denver, Colorado: July 24, 2026 - Liberty Global Ltd. announces its Q2 2026 financial results.

CEO Mike Fries stated, “In the second quarter, we continued to execute against our strategic priorities including taking key steps towards unlocking value for shareholders through the planned Ziggo Group spin-off as early as mid-2027:

•Liberty Telecom: Our Telecom operations continued to focus on driving commercial momentum and investing in the future-proofing of our infrastructure. In the Benelux, VodafoneZiggo delivered positive broadband net adds with the best quarterly performance in six years driven by continued execution of the How We Win plan, while Telenet delivered the fifth consecutive quarter of positive broadband net adds, supported by strong cross-sell campaigns and sales execution. In the UK, broadband and postpaid trading performance improved year-over-year at Virgin Media O2, while the full fiber network expansion hit a milestone 9 million1 premises. Virgin Media Ireland delivered positive postpaid mobile net adds for the sixth consecutive quarter and positive total broadband net adds2, supported by strong wholesale performance.

•Ziggo Group spin-off: During Q2 we made significant progress against the key steps ahead of the Ziggo Group spin-off in 2027, including the announcement of Ziggo Group management in June. In Belgium, we received approval from the Belgian Competition Authority for the fiber sharing agreement with Proximus, enabling a full separation of the capital structures at Telenet and Wyre. In the Netherlands, we remain on-track to close the acquisition of Vodafone's 50% stake in Vodafone Ziggo by the end of July, with all approvals met to close.

•Liberty Growth: In the second quarter, we completed the full exit of our remaining stake in EdgeConneX for total proceeds of $604m representing >30% IRR on our investment and bringing our year-to-date disposals to ~$900m. The portfolio remains concentrated, with the top five investments comprising over 50% of the $2.9 billion3 FMV. We are continuing to focus on areas where we see conviction in our right-to-play, with strong structural tailwinds and a clear path to value monetization over time.

•Liberty Global: Year-to-date we have achieved ~$1.2 billion in asset monetizations, including Growth portfolio disposals of ~$900m and a ~$340m asset-backed loan secured by a portion of our Wyre stake. As a result, we are upgrading our year-end corporate cash target from ~$1.5 billion to ~$2.0 billion4. We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and rotation, while continuing to execute our strategy and return value directly to shareholders."

Executing value unlock strategy as commercial momentum builds across all markets

Denver, Colorado: May 1, 2026 - Liberty Global Ltd. announces its Q1 2026 financial results.

CEO Mike Fries stated, “In the first quarter, we made continued progress against our operational and strategic goals while remaining fully focused on unlocking and crystallizing value for shareholders. We are on track with our Ziggo Group plans, including the acquisition of Vodafone's 50% stake in VodafoneZiggo which should close in July and the building blocks required to spin-off our interest to shareholders in H2 2027. After an encouraging commercial performance in Q1, we are reiterating all 2026 full-year guidance targets.

•Liberty Telecom: Our Telecom operations delivered strong Q1 commercial results with sequential improvement in broadband net adds across our markets. Virgin Media O2 further optimized its fixed commercial initiatives and launched O2 Satellite, becoming the first UK operator to provide direct-to-device satellite connectivity. VodafoneZiggo improved broadband net adds for the fourth consecutive quarter since its new strategic plan while Telenet achieved its best broadband performance in over 10 years, driven by exceptional sales execution and cross-sell campaigns. Virgin Media Ireland delivered another positive quarter of wholesale growth, while driving positive postpaid mobile net adds for the fifth consecutive quarter.

•Liberty Growth: We continued to execute our strategy of rotating capital within the Growth portfolio during Q1, exiting half of our 5% stake in ITV and a portion of our EdgeConneX investment, with combined disposal proceeds of ~$180m in the quarter and $300m15 through April. The portfolio remains concentrated, with our top five investments comprising ~65% of its $3.4B1 FMV at March 31, 2026. We have also moved Liberty Blume into a new 'Services' pillar in the portfolio, to reflect its increased focus on third-party revenue growth going forward. Liberty Growth continues to be a significant source of capital and we are focused on investing in sectors that have structural tailwinds along with a clear path to value creation.

•Liberty Corporate: As we highlighted at our year-end call, we delivered a substantial reshaping of our corporate operating model that will result in a ~75% improvement to our Adj. EBITDA outlook13 for this year compared to 2024. As we look ahead, we remain committed to identifying further efficiencies and are squarely focused on executing our strategy to grow and deliver value directly to shareholders.

We ended the first quarter with a consolidated cash balance of $1.9 billion14, reflecting disciplined capital allocation and further non-core asset disposals, as we rotate capital into higher growth investments and strategic transactions."
