But they naturally opted to focus on the positives and not the negatives, which didn&#8217;t become apparent until their <a href=\"https:\/\/find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk\/company\/07222543\/filing-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full accounts<\/a> were released a few days ago.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> KKR acquired a majority (75%) equity stake in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/hyperopticfibre\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Hyperoptic<\/a> during 2019 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/10\/kkr-acquires-majority-stake-in-uk-full-fibre-isp-hyperoptic.html\">here<\/a>) and the operator has a committed debt and loan facility of c.\u00a31.27bn.

But as we said earlier, Hyperoptic is in a healthier situation than others, with the operator indicating that they&#8217;re confident of being able to strengthen their finances, including by reductions in discretionary spending and broader cost-cutting.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A spokesperson for Hyperoptic said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHyperoptic&#8217;s 2025 results show the significant momentum in our business, with revenue, customer numbers, homes passed and EBITDA all growing strongly. This has continued into 2026, with the business on track to deliver over \u00a3110 million EBITDA in the next full year. As the UK&#8217;s first alt-net, we are well-positioned to make the most of the infrastructure advantage we have built through fifteen years of investing in our network.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The provider is also imminently expected to finally begin selling broadband packages over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>\u2019s rival full fibre network (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/06\/hyperoptic-to-extend-uk-fttp-broadband-coverage-via-openreach.html\">here<\/a>) &#8211; starting via an additional 1.8 million homes passed (initial coverage), which was originally due to start in early 2026 but has suffered some delays.<\/p>\n<p>One other issue for Hyperoptic to contend with is over the question of how they respond to rival networks that are increasingly able to offer multi-gigabit broadband speeds (in some cases up to c.8Gbps). But this could be a challenge as some parts of their infrastructure, such as the older FTTB parts, are in need of a big upgrade to keep pace. Not such an easy thing to do when money is tight.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there\u2019s the endlessly tedious question of what role, if any, Hyperoptic could yet play in wider market consolidation. The operator\u2019s network is quite MDU focused and patchy, which makes it a bit of a difficult fit in the wider market. Plus, as a sizeable player, there are only a limited number of potential partners that make sense.
