Maintal, 11 May 2021 - 1&1 Drillisch AG (ISIN DE 0005545503) was able to increase the number of customer contracts in 
comparison with 31 December 2020 by 140,000 to 14.97 million contracts in Q1 2021. Growth was based on mobile internet 
contracts, while the number of broadband lines remained stable at 4.31 million. Compared with Q1 2020, mobile internet 
customer contracts rose by 560,000. 
Revenues rose by 3.5 percent to EUR973.7 million in Q1 2021 (Q1 2020: EUR940.7 million). Service revenues increased in Q1 
2021 by 1.9 percent to EUR762.1 million (Q1 2020: EUR747.8 million). 
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to EUR202.3 million. This includes a 
(out-of-period) positive effect of EUR34.4 million from fiscal year 2020. On February 15, 2021, 1&1 Drillisch bindingly 
accepted Telefónica Deutschland's improved offer - after review by the EU Commission - for national roaming and, 
associated with this, also for MBA MVNO wholesale services with retroactive effect from July 1, 2020. Offered prices 
again provide for annually decreasing data prices, comparable to the pricing mechanisms of the first five years of the 
MBA MVNO contract. The offer accepted by 1&1 Drillisch is currently being converted into a national roaming contract. 
Precluding the aforementioned effect, comparable operating EBITDA rose by 2.4 percent to EUR167.9 million (Q1 2020:

0.51. 
Outlook 
The Company confirms its forecast and expects service revenues to increase to ca. EUR3.10 billion (2020: EUR3.02 billion). 
The operating EBITDA (excluding the aforementioned out-of-period return of EUR34.4 million in connection with the planned 
conclusion of the national roaming agreement) is expected to increase to ca. EUR650 million (2020: EUR468.5 million). This 
forecast includes initial costs for the 5G network rollout of ca. EUR30 million.
