In the nine- month period, operating EBIT climbed 25.4 percent to 555.7 million euros from last year's 443.2 million euros.
In addition to higher EBITDA, the strong increase in operating EBIT was due to lower depreciation and amortization.

Operating EBITDA for the nine months improved 10 percent to 1.063 billion euros from 966.4 million euros a year earlier.
Consolidated sales of United Internet rose 3.0 percent to 4.638 billion from 4.502 billion last year.
