- Intred S.p.A. (ITD.MI) operates as a telecommunications provider in Italy, offering broadband, ultrabroadband connectivity via FTTH and FTTC, fixed wireless access (FWA), voice and data transmission services, landline telephony, data center hosting and colocation, mobile services, and ancillary services including cybersecurity and technical support; the company serves business, residential, public administration, and wholesale customers primarily through its proprietary fiber optic network exceeding 14,000 km concentrated in Lombardy with significant presence in Brescia (53%), Bergamo (13%), Milan (13%), and other provinces such as Monza, Como, Cremona, Varese, Lecco, Pavia, and Mantova. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Brescia, Intred focuses on underserved peripheral areas in Lombardy, which hosts over 800,000 active companies and more than 10 million residents, generating over 90% recurring revenues from a fragmented customer base with a churn rate below 5%. The company maintains high EBITDA margins around 43-45%, driven by organic growth in ultrabroadband (over 55% of revenues) and school connectivity tenders. In 2024, Intred reports revenues of €55.2 million, up 10.3% year-over-year, EBITDA of €24.0 million rising 6.7%, and capex of €32.2 million focused on FTTH expansion; it integrates Connecting Italia (acquired and merged in 2024) with a strategy to divest non-core services, converts school tender activations (over 95% for the first €40 million contract, 65% for the second €19 million contract) into recurring fees, and invests in data centers targeting positive EBITDA from 2027 with IRR above 20%. First-half 2025 revenues reach €27.8 million with 7.8% organic growth and over 92% recurring, while the network expands to 14,250 km by June 2025 and 14,750 km by September 2025, alongside public administration sales up 33.1% from school tenders. Intred's strategic plan through 2027 projects high single-digit revenue growth to €67-73 million, double-digit EBITDA expansion to €34-36 million at 50% margins, and net debt peaking in 2025 before deleveraging to near zero by 2028 via cash generation.
