(Reuters) – Spanish telecommunications company Masmovil said on Tuesday it signed a 5G agreement with Orange Espagne, helping the company hike its EBITDA guidance for three years.

Continued commercial momentum of Masmovil, combined with the new agreements, will lead to increased EBITDA and operating FCF guidance.
