Telefónica Q1 Revenue €9.22B, Net Loss €1.30B; E.ON Sales €25.22B and Hapag-Lloyd EBITDA $1.10B Rise

Telefónica reported first-quarter 2025 results with revenues of €9.22 billion, missing the estimated €9.65 billion, and a net loss of €1.30 billion compared to an expected profit of €452.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA stood at €3.01 billion, below the consensus estimate of €3.14 billion. Analysts noted that while Telefónica's underlying revenues and EBITDA met consensus forecasts, the overall results disappointed expectations, and the company continues to seek a clearer strategic direction under CEO Murtra. In contrast, German energy company E.ON posted strong first-quarter earnings with sales rising 11% year-over-year to €25.22 billion. Adjusted EBIT was €2.40 billion, surpassing estimates, and adjusted EBITDA reached €3.23 billion, also beating expectations. E.ON reaffirmed its full-year adjusted net income guidance between €2.85 billion and €3.05 billion, and adjusted EBITDA guidance of €9.6 billion to €9.8 billion. The company attributed its earnings growth to increased investments in power grids and favorable conditions from the ongoing energy transition in the region. Shipping firm Hapag-Lloyd reported a 17% year-over-year increase in first-quarter EBITDA to $1.10 billion on revenues of $5.32 billion, up 15%. Despite backing its full-year EBITDA guidance of $2.5 billion to $4.0 billion, Hapag-Lloyd cautioned about high uncertainty in global trade conditions. The company’s EBITDA margin was 21%, slightly below the estimated 22.5%.
