Stars
Free France FTTH
Free France FTTH shows fast uptake with ~3.9 million retail FTTH subscribers end-2024, net adds ~400k in 2024 and churn around 7%, driven by strong brand pull and expanding footprint. Demand remains hot and low churn keeps ARPU stable; network roll-out still soaks capex (~€1.2bn in 2024) for builds and installs. Share gains justify the spend—hold the line and this will mature into a powerhouse cash engine.
Play Poland Mobile
Play Poland Mobile sits in Stars: with ~15.6 million mobile subscribers (≈32% market share in 2024) and an expanding Polish market, it sets the pace; sustained network investment (capex ~PLN 1.7bn in 2023) and aggressive pricing sustain growth. High gross adds drive marketing burn, but leadership remains intact; continued spend on coverage and 5G capacity expansion will lock the lead.
France 5G migrations
Customers are shifting to 5G plans rapidly and Free is riding that wave, with Iliad France reporting roughly 20% mobile market share in 2024 and strong migration to 5G tiers. The ARPU lift and data-usage growth are evident in commercial metrics, even as spectrum costs and site rollouts raise capex. Market share remains healthy and rising year-on-year. Keep pushing coverage expansion and handset deals to stay customers first choice.
Convergent bundles (FR/PL)
Convergent bundles (FR/PL) are driving higher stickiness and LTV as mobile+fixed packages gain traction, with cross-sell momentum expanding share across both lines and offsetting churn.
- Promotions/setup = near-term cash out
- Share expansion recoups investment
- Focus where uptake is fastest
Digital-first acquisition engine
Digital-first acquisition is a Star for iliad: lean online sales, self-serve onboarding and clear pricing captured high-growth segments in 2024, supporting group revenue of about 6.13 billion euros and mobile ARPU resilience. Lower distribution cost and higher velocity improved unit economics, but campaign-dependent acquisition means constant promotional spend to stay visible. Funnels require rapid iteration to defend share while market demand remains strong.

FTTH and 5G capex lift ARPU — 3.9m FTTH, 15.6m mobile, group €6.13bn
Stars: Free France FTTH ~3.9m retail FTTH subs end-2024 (net +400k), churn ~7%, capex ~€1.2bn in 2024; Play Poland mobile ~15.6m subs (~32% share 2024) with heavy 5G capex; group revenue ~€6.13bn in 2024. Convergent bundles and digital-first acquisition lift ARPU and LTV, justifying continued investment to secure leadership.

Cash Cows
Free France Mobile Base
Free Mobile sits on a cash-cow: about 13.5 million SIM-only subscribers in a mature French market, delivering steady monthly cashflows. Low acquisition costs and low churn support predictable margins and high free cash generation. Investment needs are modest versus returns, focused on maintaining network quality and keeping offers simple to keep milking the base.
Fixed Broadband France (mature zones)
Fixed Broadband France in mature urban and early‑fiber zones has a high share with low growth; an install base of ~6.5 million subscribers generates steady cash with limited promotional spend and ARPU near €34. Operational efficiency and CPE lifecycle tweaks lifted fixed EBITDA margin by roughly 150 bps in 2023–24. Maintain service quality and keep capex disciplined (around <10% of revenues) to preserve cash flow.
Legacy ADSL/Unbundled Lines
Legacy ADSL/unbundled lines are declining but remain highly cash-generative with near-zero growth capex; customers keep paying, networks run and cash flows largely drop to the bottom line. Focus is on managing churn and cutting operating costs faster than revenue erosion to sustain margins. Harvest these assets until customer migration to fiber completes, using proceeds to fund growth segments.
International roaming & add-ons
International roaming, value‑add voice packs and micro‑upsells kept a steady cash trickle in 2024, acting as mature, defensible, low‑touch cash cows for iliad rather than a growth vector; they deliver dependable margin and predictable churn. Optimize pricing and packaging; avoid heavy marketing spend on these offers.
- 2024: stable contributor to EBITDA
- Low acquisition cost, high margin
- Not a growth play — monetization focus
- Prioritize pricing over promotion
SMB connectivity contracts
SMB connectivity contracts are cash cows for iliad: sticky small-business lines deliver steady ARPU with low switching costs, shorter sales cycles than enterprise and standardized service models that minimize onboarding time; as of 2024 iliad operates broadly in France and Italy, concentrating on scale efficiency.
These contracts are cash-positive with minor support needs; focus on retention and painless upsell paths to fiber and 5G to extract incremental revenue without major capex or complex sales.
- High stickiness
- Decent ARPU
- Short sales cycles
- Standardized service
- Low support cost
- Upsell fiber/5G
13.5M SIMs, 6.5M fixed: cash cow mobile & broadband — focus on pricing and retention
Free Mobile (13.5M SIMs) and Fixed Broadband (~6.5M subs, ARPU €34) are iliad cash cows in 2024, driving steady EBITDA with low acquisition cost and modest capex (<10% revenues). Legacy ADSL yields near-zero growth cash flow; SMB contracts add sticky, mid‑ARPU revenue with easy upsell to fiber/5G. Focus: pricing, retention, network quality.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| SIM subs | 13.5M |
| Fixed subs | 6.5M |
| Fixed ARPU | €34 |
| EBITDA uplift | +150bps (2023–24) |
| Capex | <10% revs |
