Capital Allocation and Strategic Developments

VEON has adopted a policy framework targeting at least USD 100 million in annual share repurchases, subject to market conditions and Board approval. VEON intends to implement this framework for future buyback programs upon completion of the current USD 100 million program, with all shares repurchased under such future programs to be cancelled.
In March 2026, VEON reached an agreement with the Dhabi Group regarding historical shareholder claims, and will welcome His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, as a shareholder in the Company.
Other milestones include:
Successful secondary public offering of Kyivstar shares, raising USD 140 million net proceeds and expanding the investor base.
Acquisition of Tabletki.ua, Ukraine's leading online healthcare marketplace, for USD 160 million, expanding digital healthcare offerings.
Transfer of VEON's ADS listing to the Nasdaq Global Select Market and inclusion in the S&P Global Broad Market Index and MSCI Ukraine Index.
Ongoing progress toward acquiring TPL Insurance Limited in Pakistan to bolster digital financial services (expected close mid-2026, subject to approvals).
Jazz securing largest allocation with 190 MHz in Pakistan's mobile spectrum auction in March 2026, reinforcing Jazz's network leadership and service innovation
2026 Outlook
For 2026, VEON expects:
Total revenue growth of 9%-12% YoY in USD terms
EBITDA growth of 7%-10% YoY in USD terms
Capex intensity (excluding Ukraine) of 14%-16%
Commenting on the results, VEON Group CEO Kaan Terzioglu said
2025 marked a pivotal inflection point for VEON as a digital operator. For the first time, digital service customers surpassed traditional connectivity subscribers. Resilient core execution, explosive digital growth, especially in financial services, and rigorous cost discipline delivered revenue and EBITDA ahead of forecasts, continuing our track record of keeping the promises we make to investors. Strategic moves like acquiring ride hailing and delivery company Uklon, pharmaceutical and health products marketplace Tabletki.ua, advancing the planned acquisitions of TPL Insurance in Pakistan and classifieds business OLX in Kazakhstan (awaiting regulatory approvals), expanding our Starlink Direct-to-Cell partnership, and strengthening our capital markets profile position us strongly for sustained value creation.
