Bulls say / Bears say
Core EBITDA before one-off items rose to SEK 313m in Q3 from SEK 276m on a comparable basis, and Viaplay kept its 2026 earnings target unchanged. That suggests the cost and integration turnaround is gaining traction. (Viaplay Group)
Streaming subscription sales grew 4% organically in Q3 and the subscriber base was stable year on year, while higher prices and a richer sports mix supported revenue per customer. This offers a path to growth even without a large increase in subscribers. (Viaplay Group)
The Dutch sale has regulatory clearance and is expected to close soon for EUR 142m, allowing Viaplay to focus on the Nordics and reduce debt. The planned exit could strengthen the balance sheet and sharpen management’s focus on its core markets. (Viaplay Group, Viaplay Group)
Core sales were flat organically in Q3, while ‘Other’ sales fell 14% and advertising sales slipped 1%. Streaming growth is therefore having to offset weakness in several established revenue lines. (Viaplay Group)
Group free cash flow was negative SEK 32m in Q3, with SEK 90m of cash drain from non-core operations. The continuing legacy costs make it harder for operating improvements to translate into cash for debt reduction. (Viaplay Group)
Net debt remained broadly stable against Q2’s SEK 5.12bn, and Viaplay still posted a SEK 30m net loss in Q3. The large debt burden leaves limited room for error if the turnaround or asset sale is delayed. (Viaplay Group, Viaplay Group)
