The Group’s headcount decreased by 3.2 % against year-end 2025, mainly on account of the reduced workforce at T‑Mobile US. The total number of full-time equivalent employees in our United States operating segment as of June 30, 2026, decreased by 6.7 % compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to the impact of the 2025-2026 Workforce Transformation. In our Germany operating segment, the number of employees declined by 1.7 % against the end of the prior year. Employees continued to take up socially responsible instruments as part of staff restructuring activities, such as phased retirement and dedicated retirement. In our Europe operating segment, the headcount was down by 1.4 % compared with the end of the prior year, in particular in Greece and Poland. The headcount in our Systems Solutions operating segment remained more or less stable against year-end 2025. The headcount in the Group Headquarters & Group Services segment was down 1.1 % compared with the end of the prior year, mainly due to the continued staff restructuring measures.
