EBITDA was HK$2,487m, up 1.5%; growth was 4.1% excluding annual salary review and discretionary bonus costs.
Adjusted free cash flow rose 1% to HK$681m, supported by lower net interest paid and higher EBITDA, partly offset by higher CapEx and working-capital outflow.

CapEx increased 35.6% to HK$692m, focused on network upgrades and AI computing interconnect infrastructure.
Finance costs declined 22% to HK$553m; early retirement of banking facilities resulted in a HK$128.7m loss.
Profit before tax rose to HK$479.3m from HK$215.8m; basic and diluted EPS were both 21.4 cents.
Outlook and guidance
Dividend policy is to distribute at least 75% of adjusted free cash flow annually, with two payouts each year.
Investment priorities include network coverage, AI-driven transformation and Northern Metropolis deployment; no financial targets were stated.
Plans include migration from copper to 2.5Gbps fibre, broader GigaFast adoption, and enterprise AI, cloud and cybersecurity solutions.
