*Revised for a correction to the current/non-current classification of deferred revenue (see note 21).

Non-current deferred revenue includes payments received in advance from customers for long-term lease arrangements of fiber network infrastructure. The increase at June 30, 2025 primarily reflects payments received during the period for such arrangements.
