Spain model targets faster execution

The new structure gives each unit its own leadership and objectives while moving support functions into the relevant corporate areas. The company said the change is intended to remove duplication, speed decisions and expand digital services such as cloud, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

The financial base is measurable. Spain revenue reached EUR 6.51 billion in the first half of 2026, up 2.50 percent from the prior-year period, while adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 2.30 billion, up 2.10 percent, according to Telefonica on September 30, 2026. Between April and June, revenue increased 2.90 percent year over year and adjusted EBITDA rose 2.30 percent.

What changed before the reorganization?

On September 23, 2026, a dedicated devices unit was reported with 900,000 devices sold in Spain between January and August, up 10.00 percent year over year, by Russpain.
