Liberty Global Ltd. reports that its wholly owned subsidiary VodafoneZiggo Group B.V., a Dutch provider of fixed, mobile and integrated communication and entertainment services, has released its financial report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The report was made available on August 13, 2026 in the investor relations section of Liberty Global’s website. The information is furnished under Regulation FD Item 7.01 and is not deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Liberty Global Holding B.V. (“Ziggo Group”), a subsidiary of Liberty Global Ltd., completed the acquisition on July 31, 2026 of Vodafone’s 50% stake and related shareholder loans in VodafoneZiggo Group Holding B.V. from Vodafone Europe B.V. and Vodafone International 1 S.à r.l.
Aggregate consideration consisted of €1.0 billion in cash, subject to locked-box leakage adjustments, plus newly issued Class B ordinary shares representing 10% of Ziggo Group’s issued share capital. After closing, Ziggo Group owns 100% of the VodafoneZiggo group and Vodafone holds a minority equity stake in Ziggo Group.
A new Shareholders’ Agreement sets post-closing governance, minority protections, transfer restrictions and board rights, including a Vodafone right to appoint one supervisory board director if the planned spin-off and Euronext Amsterdam listing of Ziggo Group (the “Spin Transaction”) has not occurred within 18 months. Required financial statements and pro forma information for the acquisition will be provided by amendment within 71 days.
Liberty Global Ltd. has completed the acquisition of Vodafone Group’s 50% stake in VodafoneZiggo, giving it effective control of the Benelux telecom assets that will form Ziggo Group. Vodafone received approximately €1.0 billion in cash and a 10% equity interest in Ziggo Group, with Liberty Global holding the remaining 90%.
Ziggo Group is described as a Benelux connectivity platform with 13 million customers and €6.6 billion of 2025 revenue, combining VodafoneZiggo in the Netherlands and Telenet in Belgium and Luxembourg. Liberty Global plans to spin off its 90% Ziggo Group stake to shareholders and pursue a listing on Euronext Amsterdam in 2027, a transaction intended to be tax free for U.S. shareholders, subject to board, SEC and shareholder approvals and other customary conditions.
Capital structures around these assets have been reshaped: Wyre has drawn €2.71 billion from a €4.35 billion bank facility, funding a €398 million dividend and repayment of a €1.98 billion intercompany loan to Telenet, which then repaid €2.12 billion of its own debt. Further €1.2–1.4 billion of planned asset disposals across Ziggo Group are earmarked for additional debt retirement.
Liberty Global Ltd. has authorized management to conduct share repurchases of its Class A and Class C common shares from time to time. Management may repurchase shares when it believes doing so is consistent with the company’s capital allocation priorities, considering market conditions, expected cash proceeds and other factors.
The company states it does not anticipate making more than $200 million in selective repurchases over any twelve-month period under this authorization, and the board may separately authorize additional repurchase programs. Repurchases may occur via open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or other methods, including transactions under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.
Liberty Global Ltd. reported Q2 2026 total consolidated revenue of $1,172.0 million, down 7.7% year over year on a reported basis, with rebased revenue down 6.0%. The group posted a consolidated net loss of $357.8 million, a substantial improvement from a $2,773.8 million loss a year earlier. Total consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $324.9 million, down 3.1%.
Year‑to‑date, Adjusted EBITDA rose to $691.4 million, while Liberty Global achieved about $1.2 billion of asset monetizations, including roughly $900 million of Liberty Growth disposals and a ~$340 million asset‑backed loan on its Wyre stake. Management raised the year‑end corporate cash target from approximately $1.5 billion to ~$2.0 billion.
Key operating units showed mixed trends. Telenet grew Adjusted EBITDA to $197.0 million despite lower revenue, and VodafoneZiggo returned to positive broadband net adds with Q2 revenue of $1,133.7 million. Virgin Media O2 revenue fell 4.5% to $3,220.3 million, but Adjusted EBITDA inched up and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E additions increased strongly. Consolidated liquidity was $3,246.1 million against total debt and finance leases of $8,414.6 million as of June 30, 2026. The company highlighted continued progress toward a planned Ziggo Group spin‑off in 2027 and the pending acquisition of Vodafone’s 50% stake in VodafoneZiggo.
Liberty Global Ltd. reported the results of its annual general meeting held on June 23, 2026, where about 86% of voting shares were represented. Shareholders re-elected Miranda Curtis CMG, J David Wargo and Anthony G. Werner as directors for terms running to the 2029 annual meeting.

Liberty Global Ltd., through indirect joint venture subsidiary Wyre Finance BV, entered into a new bank financing structure on May 1, 2026. Original Bank Facilities Lenders agreed to provide a €2.7 billion term loan, a €1.2 billion capex term loan, a €215.0 million revolving facility and a €235.0 million debt service reserve facility.
The term loan can fund repayment of existing group debt, up to €3.0 billion in dividends or distributions, capital expenditure, acquisitions, working capital and related fees. The capex and revolving lines support investment and general corporate needs, while the debt service reserve backs interest shortfalls.
The facilities share a common framework for covenants, defaults and security via common terms, master definitions and intercreditor agreements. Loans mature 84 months after first term facility use and accrue interest at EURIBOR plus margins that step from 2.35% to 3.25% over the life of the financing.

Liberty Global Ltd. has set 2026 incentive plans for senior executives, tying most pay to company performance and share price. The 2026 annual performance awards use revenue, adjusted EBITDA metrics and strategic goals, with payouts ranging from 0% to 150% of target, and up to 180% for strong individual results.
Executives can elect to take their 2026 bonuses in Liberty Global shares and receive an extra 12.5% in restricted share units that vest the following year if they hold those shares. The CEO’s target annual bonus is $13.0 million, with other named executives between $2.75 million and $5.0 million.
The 2026 long-term incentive program covers about 480 employees and is mostly equity-based. For the CEO, the target annual equity value is $16.0 million, and $4.25 million to $6.25 million for other named executives. Half of this is in performance share units linked to absolute share price performance over 2026–2028, 10% is tied to the Liberty Growth venture portfolio’s value change, and 40% is in time-vested restricted share units through 2029.
Liberty Global Ltd. announced it will release its first quarter 2026 results on the morning of May 1, 2026, followed by an investor call at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Management will review the quarter and may share additional forward-looking information.
The listen-only webcast and a summary investor presentation will be available on the Liberty Global website and archived for at least 75 days.

After closing, Liberty Global will own 100% of VodafoneZiggo, while Vodafone will hold a minority equity interest in Liberty Global’s subsidiary. Closing depends on competition, foreign investment and telecom approvals in the EU, the Netherlands and Belgium, completion of works council processes, and specified pre‑closing reorganization steps.

Ziggo Group will own Liberty Global’s interests in VodafoneZiggo and Belgian operator Telenet.
Liberty Global plans to list Ziggo Group on Euronext Amsterdam in 2027 and spin off its remaining 90% stake to Liberty Global shareholders, subject to board, shareholder, regulatory and SEC registration approvals. Management highlights expected financial and operational synergies with a combined NPV of €1 billion, a roadmap to reduce Ziggo Group leverage to about 4.5x by 2028, and a target of roughly €500 million of adjusted free cash flow by 2028. VodafoneZiggo reported Q4 2025 revenue of €1.020 billion and EBITDA of €425 million, with strong mobile postpaid growth and continued investment in network resilience.
Liberty Global Ltd. reported Q4 and full-year 2025 results highlighting modest operating growth but a large accounting loss. Total consolidated revenue for 2025 was $4,878.5 million, up 12.4% year-over-year, while consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reached $1,275.0 million, up 9.9%.
Despite this, Liberty Global recorded a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $(7,096.7) million for 2025 versus income of $1,869.1 million in 2024, reflecting significant non-operating and non-cash items. Key telecom units showed mixed trends: Telenet and Virgin Media Ireland grew reported revenue but saw rebased pressure, while the VMO2 and VodafoneZiggo joint ventures delivered all 2025 guidance metrics yet faced rebased revenue and EBITDA declines.
The company emphasized capital rotation and balance sheet management, closing 2025 with $2,902.9 million of total liquidity and $8,617.9 million of total debt and finance lease obligations, and noted roughly $15 billion of 2025 refinancings across credit silos to extend maturities and support a long-tenored capital structure.
Liberty Global Ltd. filed a Form 8-K to furnish information under Regulation FD. The filing notes that a joint press release dated February 3, 2026 is provided as Exhibit 99.1 and is treated as furnished, not filed, meaning it is not subject to certain Exchange Act liability provisions.
The company also includes standard Inline XBRL cover page data exhibits and confirms that the report was authorized and signed by Vice President Randy L. Lazzell.
