Integratel Perú, formerly known as Telefónica del Perú, has reported a significant turnaround in its financial performance for 2025, marking its first full year of results following a major restructuring. The company saw a 26.5% increase in its operating result, amounting to S/ 639 million, compared to the previous year, signaling a positive shift after a change in ownership in April 2025. This improvement comes as Integratel focuses on modernizing its infrastructure and streamlining operations, a process initiated after the acquisition by new shareholders.
The transformation at Integratel isn’t merely a financial adjustment. it represents a strategic repositioning within the Peruvian telecommunications market. The company’s efforts to improve efficiency generated S/ 229 million in savings during the year, according to reported figures. This financial boost has allowed for investments in key areas, particularly the expansion of fiber optic services and upgrades to its mobile network. Understanding this financial restructuring of Integratel is crucial for assessing the future of the Peruvian telecom landscape.
Fiber Optics and Postpaid Services Drive Growth
A key driver of Integratel’s success in 2025 was the strong performance of its fiber optic segment, which experienced a 28.5% increase in revenue compared to 2024. This growth reflects a broader trend in Peru towards faster and more reliable internet connectivity. While revenue from postpaid services remained stable, the average revenue per user (ARPU) saw a modest increase of 2.2%, indicating a focus on maximizing value from existing customers. This focus on fiber optic expansion and ARPU growth demonstrates a strategic shift towards higher-margin services.
Beyond revenue gains, Integratel also managed to improve customer retention. The churn rate – the percentage of customers who discontinue their service – decreased from 2.9% to 2.2% for customers switching providers. This reduction in churn suggests that the company’s efforts to improve service quality and customer satisfaction are beginning to pay off. Lower churn rates are vital for sustainable growth in the competitive telecommunications sector.
Expanding Connectivity Across Peru
Integratel’s investment isn’t limited to urban areas. The company has been actively working to expand connectivity to rural communities, recognizing the importance of bridging the digital divide in Peru. During 2025, more than 2,000 mobile base stations were modernized, and operations began utilizing 5G technology. Through its partnership with Internet para Todos, the company expanded 4G coverage to over 53,000 rural communities. An additional 110 rural centers were connected through the Canon por Cobertura mechanism.
These infrastructure investments are particularly significant in a country where access to reliable internet remains unevenly distributed. The expansion of 4G and the introduction of 5G technology have the potential to unlock new economic opportunities and improve access to education and healthcare in underserved areas. The company’s commitment to rural connectivity highlights its role in promoting digital inclusion across Peru.
A New Era for Former Telefónica del Perú
The changes at Integratel began in April 2025 with a shift in ownership, prompting a comprehensive reevaluation of the company’s financial and operational strategies. In June 2025, the company officially changed its name from Telefónica del Perú to Integratel Perú S.A.A., a move reflecting the new ownership structure and signaling a fresh start. The name change, approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting and the Superintendency of the Securities Market (SMV), did not affect existing customer contracts or services.
The first year under new ownership has been characterized by financial adjustments, operational reorganization, and infrastructure expansion. The company’s ability to navigate these challenges and deliver a 26.5% increase in operating results demonstrates the effectiveness of its new strategy. Looking ahead, Integratel will likely continue to focus on expanding its fiber optic network, improving customer retention, and extending connectivity to underserved communities. The company’s next financial report, expected in early 2027, will provide further insight into its progress and future plans.
