Letter to the shareholders
Ralf Hartings is stepping down from his position at United Internet AG at his own request effective March 31, 2025. Carsten Theurer, who previously worked for over 20 years at the Schwarz Group, most recently as Group CFO, has succeeded Ralf Hartings as the new Chief Financial Officer effective January 1, 2025.
We welcome diversity at United Internet and we promote it. To further strengthen the topic, we also signed the Diversity Charter in 2021, an initiative to promote diversity in the world of work.
In order to bring the topic of diversity even further into the focus of all employees, we also held a three-day virtual in-house conference for the first time in 2021 - the Diversity Days. Among other things, the program featured keynote speeches, interactive workshops, reports by staff on their own experiences and lessons learned, and panel discussions.
United Internet can look back on a successful fiscal year 2024. In 2024, the company continued to invest in new customer contracts and the expansion of existing customer relationships, thereby driving sustainable growth.
United Internet has worked with the United Nations’ Children’s Fund since 2006 in the “United Internet for UNICEF” foundation to collect donations and recruit new sustaining members.
The Annual General Meeting of United Internet AG took place on May 15, 2025, at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt am Main. The shareholders approved all items on the agenda by a large majority and resolved, among other things, to pay a regular dividend of €0.40 per share. In addition, a one-time catch-up dividend of €1.50 per share was paid.
In May, United Internet submitted a voluntary public tender offer in the form of a partial offer to acquire 1&1 shares. Through the offer, 7.6 million 1&1 shares were acquired. Together with the purchases made in April (4.4 million) and August (2.4 million), the shareholding increased from 78.32% to 86.46% in 2025.
IONOS, together with HOCHTIEF AG, has submitted an expression of interest to the European Commission for the construction and operation of an AI gigafactory, which envisages the development of a high-performance data center infrastructure.
Since 2010, United Internet has ensured that some of its internally used servers and networks devices that have reached the end of their service life are recycled in an environmentally sound way by passing them on to refurbishment specialist AfB gGmbH. This prepares them for reuse or send them for professional recycling, prolonging the life of the hardware and conserving resources.
With IONOS Momentum, IONOS is ushering in a new era for the use of artificial intelligence in businesses and the public sector. With Momentum, IONOS is creating, for the first time, a unified, sovereign, and GDPR-compliant ecosystem that bundles infrastructure, automation, and applications into a single platform.
Just two years after launching mobile services on the 1&1 O-RAN network, 1&1 has completed the largest customer migration in German mobile communications history. With over 12 million customers, the 1&1 mobile network is now the world’s largest Open RAN deployment by user count.
United Internet and 1&1 have agreed on an intra-group sale of United Internet Management Holding, including its wholly-owned subsidiary 1&1 Versatel, to 1&1. The purchase price amounted to approximately €1.3 billion, including €950 million in loan liabilities owed by 1&1 Versatel to United Internet.
By the end of 2025, the 1&1 mobile network will reach approximately 27% of German households. With this, 1&1 has exceeded the first coverage target (25%) set for the company by the Federal Network Agency as part of the 5G spectrum auction.
