Without too much hesitation, we should start with the presentation. I will guide you through the slides. During our Q2 , we achieved revenues of EUR 370 million. Excuse me, 90% increase year-on-year, which was driven by RGU growth in our two main markets, Romania and Spain. As you see on this slide, we achieved 19.4 million RGUs, a 15% growth year-on-year. EBITDA amounted to almost EUR 101 million excluding IFRS 16 numbers. EBITDA with IFRS 16 numbers amounted to EUR 120.5 million, 7% growth year-on-year.
Romania has done very well with 10% growth in customers. We achieved 4.5 million mobile users at the end of the H1 of the year, which was a 16% growth year-on-year. We achieved a new landmark for us, 4 million broadband users at the end, almost 4 million. I mean, they are barely, they're missing a couple thousand users. We are very close, and in the meantime, we have surpassed this level. We achieved 4 million broadband users in Romania. These are fixed broadband users, these are not mobile broadband users.
For Spain, we are extremely happy to have generated 3.4 million mobile users, almost 30% increase year-on-year. In fixed services, we have a combined number of 880,000 broadband and fixed telephony users, which are split three-quarters in broadband and one quarter in fixed telephony. All in all, as you see, it's a doubling of the Spanish customer base. I will come to this metric maybe a couple of times during our discussion further on. One second. Moving on. The latest developments, we have two to discuss. We are extremely happy, we are thrilled to open a new chapter to start a new development for us.
In June, a joint venture between Digi and Citymesh, which is part of Cegeka Group in Belgium, an IT company. We were awarded the new entrant package in the Belgian market, allowing us to exploit a number of frequencies in the mobile spectrum, covering 700, 900, 1800, 2100, and 3600 MHz bandwidth. The license cost is EUR 114 million. The terms of the license allow us to pay this in equal installments over the life of the license until 2042.
The second development we have signed a new financing in Spain amounting to EUR 128 million. The main or the only purpose of this facility is to finance our expansion in Spain, our growth projects in the fixed area. I mean, this is helpful for us to execute our plans over there. Moving on. Just looking at our numbers a bit more in detail. Romania, almost 70% of our revenues, EUR 245 million in the Q2 . Spain, reaching close to EUR 120 million as a quarterly result. Italy has generated almost EUR 7 million in sales.
I did mention the EBITDA results. You see the margin numbers. These are the pro forma margin numbers. These are numbers without IFRS 16 included in them. Romania, EBITDA margin of 37%, Spain almost 10%. Italy is positive, but the other segment, Italy and group operations, is influenced by the costs that we have at both headquarters level in the Netherlands and costs that we have in Portugal. The metric is irrelevant in the context of Italy. It's really more of a group cost that you see here. Once again, 19.4 million RGUs at the end of Q2.
Going further into detail. You see year on year, 19% growth in revenues, reaching EUR 370 million from EUR 310 or EUR 311 million a year before. These are comparable numbers. These numbers exclude the results of Hungary, which was sold at the beginning of the year, so the numbers are fully comparable. We generated EBITDA of EUR 120 million, on increase in comparison to EUR 113 million a year ago. Our CapEx amounted to EUR 143 million. So far this is the highest quarterly CapEx, excluding the quarters when we acquired Spectrum. This has been driven by our development in Romania and in Spain.
We touched upon the major elements on these slides, on this slide. While discussing also before, maybe two comments on the numbers. We believe we had a very good quarter and a very good year, giving us 20% growth in sales, giving us 15% growth in the RGU numbers. This is the main metric we are going for. This is the main item we want to develop in our business on a day-to-day basis. As we were discussing in our previous calls, we are influenced by the inflation in energy costs. We are influenced by inflation in salaries, a few other costs as well.
However, the inflation is not as high if you think on a company level, in comparison to the general economy. This is one. EBITDA is lagging behind the the revenue growth, which is objective and explainable. On the other hand, we do also have the new developments, including Portugal, which start generating costs. It is normal for us not to expect significant revenues in the next 2, 3 years from today. Again, that is the reason for us to lose some of the margin in the immediate periods going forward. The second comment is on CapEx. We continue accelerated growth, and we continue growth both in Romania and in Spain.
I mean, CapEx is generated still mostly in these markets. We do expect new markets, both Portugal and Belgium, to only start to generate any meaningful CapEx next year. This is roughly it as a broad description. I'm sure we will have the opportunity to discuss this in more details when you have the chance to ask the questions. Going forward, just to present the high level picture. We have the RGU growth, and that was, as I mentioned, a 15% growth year-on-year, primarily driven by mobile, 21% growth. And again, driven significantly by Spain, 30% growth year-on-year, and Romania, 16% growth year-on-year.
Followed by fixed internet, fixed broadband services, which generated almost 20% growth, 19% year-on-year growth. Spain has doubled its customer base, or continues doubling its customer base, because this is not the Q1 of such a high speed increase. While Romania is growing at a slower pace of about 11%-12% per year. We continued growing in the pay TV segment in Romania, reaching 5.2, almost 5.3, million subscribers, which represented a 6% growth year-on-year. In terms of geographies, as you see in the right-hand chart, Romania, 9.6% growth, Spain, 40% growth.
Italy, a very nice but relatively small performance of 20% growth year-on-year. I move quickly to the next slide. You see our financial profile here. Gross debt amounted to EUR 1.17 billion. Cash on the balance sheet amounted to EUR 286 million. Net debt, almost EUR 890 million. As you see in the bottom right chart, gross leverage 2.9 times, and net leverage 2.2 times at the end of the Q2 . Certainly better in comparison to the end of 2021, and certainly influenced by the proceeds of our Hungarian sale. As you see, we have generate...
We have a relatively mild repayment profile over the next years, 2023, 2024, a total of approximately EUR 130 million, with a bigger portion coming in 2024, almost EUR 100 million. I believe this completes my presentation, and I did rush you through it just to make sure that we have proper time to discuss the questions from all of you. Thank you, and let's just wait for a minute and start. Thank you. We see questions coming. First question is from Joshua Mills. I have a few questions on the background to your decision to enter the Belgian mobile market.
One, what makes this an attractive market for a challenger operator like DG? And how long have you been working with Citymesh? Yeah. It's. There are two questions in this first question, and to answer simply, well, look, Belgium, just like Portugal, is a small to medium European country with approximately 11 million inhabitants, and this is an attractive market size-wise for us. We can certainly have, let's say, the proper resources and proper means to operate in such environment. This is one. Second, I think the spectrum opportunities come with, I don't know, an average frequency of 15-20 years of waiting time. As you appreciate, it is.
I mean, they are rare and valuable from this point of view. Last, probably not least, we do believe that, and I think this was somehow highlighted in the question, that operators like us providing value to the customer, providing I don't know, high quality services, but also an attractive pricing model have at least a niche or maybe something more than a niche. We will see in the future. We hope for the better. This is our general logic. The second part of the question was related to Citymesh. Here I have to say, yeah, we know Citymesh for some time already.
However, we have made this common decision together to go together for the Belgian auction very close to the auction. The reason to that is that we did not expect the auction to take place so soon. In a way, we had to react very quickly to the announcement of the Belgian government and Belgian communication authority, which came very late last year, early this year. Second question is, how long do you expect it will take to build the network? And how quickly can you secure a national roaming deal? Well, we are not so certain about a national roaming deal.
We certainly want to have a national roaming in all markets where we operate. This is not the A scenario. This is, I mean, if we are successful to have a national roaming, we will be happy. Otherwise, we will certainly build our own network. How long? Probably 2-3 years as an outlook for such an exercise. The next question is question number three. Do you plan to offer broadband and convergence services as well as mobile? And if so, which is the wholesale partner? We certainly look to offer both broadband, mobile and convergence services. Again, we will see whether we can find the wholesale partner or we have to do it alone.
There is no decision so far from us on this point. One follow-up question on Spain. What remedies do you expect to result from the Orange MásMóvil deal? Will you be using the new cash raised to bid for these remedies? I don't know. I don't know to each of the two questions. I'm not a competition lawyer. I'm not a competition economist, so it's hard for me to see how the Spanish authorities, how the European Commission views Orange MásMóvil deal and what it will require, and if it will require anything from the two operators to cede in the market. Yeah. Somehow this question pops up lately from many sources, from many directions.
Honestly, it's difficult to say. Similarly, we're certainly not putting cash aside for such an opportunity, not knowing what the opportunity may be. Moving on. A question from Bert Brandsma. What's the win in Belgium of mobile spectrum is concerned? I would like to ask, when you plan to start offering mobile services in Belgium, as I was told, as MVNO like in Spain and Italy, and on which network would that be? Thank you. We don't have as a base scenario starting mobile services in Belgium as an MVNO. However, it's never say never.
If we and Citymesh together are able to sign an appropriate MVNO agreement with any of the existing operators, be it Proximus, be it Orange, be it Telenet, we would certainly and very happily start offering mobile services rather sooner than later. At this moment, it's really a theoretical question and a theoretical answer. We are open to such an opportunity, but it's not yet on the table, or it's not on the table now, to be maybe more precise. I move on. Question from Lăcrămioara Botezatu. Hello. Every private company over 100 million capitalization has always published a dividend policy guidance. Has Digi Group any intention to publish it also? I believe we have a dividend policy published.
Just to explain in simple words how we see our dividends, the idea is the following. We are, I think, primarily, or I believe I see ourselves as a growth company, as a growth stock. As you have seen from our presentation earlier, we continue generating big increase in sales. We continue generating big increase in RGU numbers. We grow in terms of EBITDA. Of course, there is a cost associated with this, which is mainly CapEx, and we do need mostly internal and sometimes external sources to fund it. Having put this into context, basically, our dividend policy is the following.
We use the cash available to us primarily to address the operating cost, which is absolutely normal, to service the debt in terms of interest and principal repayment, to do CapEx for development, and the remaining portion is distributed to shareholders. In addition to this, since our listing in 2017, we have paid every year a dividend, and every year we did manage, and we tried, and we did manage to increase this dividend payment. Our expectation for this year is similar to come with a dividend, which normally would be somewhat higher than what we paid last year.
Having said this, I must stop because I think, we do expect to call for a shareholder meeting later in September, to close the results of 2021, and we will certainly announce the proposed dividend for 2021, during that call for the meeting. Okay, I move on. A question from Bert Brandsma. When will you start building your own network in Belgium, and how will you finance those investments? Thank you. We...
I will expand this question a little bit because we are in a situation when we are looking both at the Portuguese market as a new market for us, and we are in a situation when we look at the Belgian market, which again is a new market for us. The difference in ages between these two markets for us is exactly half a year, and so far it moves similarly. Answering the question you did not ask, we intend to start developing the Portuguese network in the autumn of this year. Most likely with a relatively small delay, a few months, we intend to start building the Belgian network somewhere early 2023.
about financing, well, certainly, as usual for us, we will use our internally generated cash flow, the cash flow that we have on the balance sheet. We can also, we are also interested to use external financing later on, to finance these, investments. I move on, there's a question from Nora Nagy: what is the outlook for electricity prices in the second half of 2022? And second, do you expect a slowdown in customer demand in the second half of 2022? Yeah, no, thank you, Nora. In terms of electricity, I believe we touched upon this also last time, and there are no new developments. It's more or less unchanged in the meantime in Romania.
We have a cap which was set by the government and which operates both in retail sector and in corporate sector. The cap basically keeps the electricity prices for us flat until March 2023. Based on this, and unless this policy changes, and so far we have no indication that this policy is going to change later on this year, we should expect stability in this area. In relation to your second question about customer demand in the H2 of 2022. Well, the reality is here we don't really have a visibility. We do our best to manage our growth and our sales. As I mentioned early on in our presentation, this is the key focus.
This is the key area of our focus. All external factors, and most importantly, competition, are certainly changing. The market is covered pretty well already in Romania. Yes, in a way, we do expect to generate maybe lower sales in Romania in the H2 of this year, and moving on. Having said this, and as you appreciate, we have had a very strong Q2 , and we still will do our best to try to maintain these numbers as much as we can. Sorry, this is a very controversial answer, but it's a correct one. We are in a mature market. We are in a developed market. We have also a big large size here.
I think mid-term, long-term, the first portion of my answer is completely true, and I sincerely hope that as much as possible we can keep the second portion of my answer, meaning we can keep sales as high as possible. We will do our best to maintain this as much as we can. No one can see for how long we can do this. A question from Kyle Reiser-Allen. Can you provide an estimation of expected payback period and return on investment capital and investment in Belgium and Portugal, and how this compares relative to Spain? This is a complex question, and I'm not sure we are so, I don't know, so calculated in this respect.
We do know the size of the market. We do know approximately the required level of the investments. The investments certainly go into, I mean, hundreds of millions. These are still low numbers of hundreds of millions for each market, but these are hundreds of millions of EUR. You have to appreciate that, there's a difference between Belgium and Portugal, because in Portugal we control 100% of the operations, while in Belgium we share this opportunity both in terms of revenues, returns, but also investments with our partners, with our Belgian partners, Citymesh, Cegeka. The profile is a bit different. Having said this, we don't really have precise numbers to share. I'm sorry, I won't be very helpful at this moment.
A question from Lucian Matoianu. He's asking we would like to know what is this year and future year dividends. I maybe touch upon briefly on the answer I said yesterday. Sorry, not yesterday, a bit earlier. The expectation again, for the dividend for this year is to be somewhat higher than the dividend that we announced last year. But then the precise number, we kindly ask you to have patience and wait, I don't know, a month or so, before we announce the 2021 general meeting of shareholders. There we will see the full picture.
Having said this, commenting briefly on the next year dividends, so far we were able to have an increase every year. Maybe it was a small increase, maybe it was a moderate increase. I mean, it depends how you look. We do not change this outlook, for ourselves, so far. So far so good. The question from Piotr Raciborski, do you expect to adjust your prices in Romania and Spain for inflation? What is your view on the outlook for prices? Not yet. Not as of now. I do recognize, Piotr, that we will have to probably discuss this again and again, maybe at every meeting that we have. As I mentioned, there is inflationary pressure, in energy, fuel, salaries.
Having said this, the inflation at our level does not compare with general economy inflation. We certainly do not have a 10% rising cost like the general economy does. Given the fact that we are also able to grow, given the fact that we are also able to absorb a part of this cost, we monitor closely the inflation and the cost situation. No change on our side. No decision to increase prices neither in Spain or Romania. More than that, and as I was answering Nora's question a bit earlier, the energy prices are anyway capped, so we have a bit of, let's say, certainty from this point of view in Romania. No need to react from this point of view.
A second question from Carl Fraser-Allen. Do you have any clear picture on how you plan to enter Portugal post-spectrum allocation? Will you be developing a network infrastructure similar to Belgium or leveraging the infrastructure in Portugal, Vantage, Cellnex? Well, we certainly will want to use as much as possible the infrastructure of others in all markets where we operate, and in case we are not able, we will also build our towers. This is our strategy. Yes, we have all the interest to use the existing infrastructure of both Cellnex and Vantage to deploy our equipment in a much quicker and more efficient manner. Okay, I move on. There's a question from Piotr again.
According to Ziarul Financiar from May 2022, the only remaining bidders for Telekom Romania Mobile are United Group and PPF Group. Is DG also interested in this transaction? Is DG also interested in this transaction? Sorry. I think this question is a repeat in a way. I mean, I think it was asked last time as well in a slightly different manner. The answer is the same. We, DG, read about the Telecom sale process together with all of you in the newspapers. We are not part of this process. Why? I cannot say exactly. Other than that, there's really nothing else I can add. We have no other information.
Piotr, we are spectators, most likely like you are as well. Other than that, we can't really comment, and we don't know. Will there be a sale? Will there be not a sale? So on and so forth. We operate in a four-operator market, and Telecom is a good competitor to us, just like all other players are. So far, so good. Another question from Piotr. What CapEx level do you expect to record in 2022 and 2023? Yeah. This is a difficult question.
We've shown to you on the slides before a total number of approximately EUR 268 million of CapEx for the six months of 2022. On an annualized basis, we are already in the EUR 530 million-EUR 540 million territory. We believe that this is certainly the relevant range. I don't know, EUR 520 million-EUR 550 million is the CapEx figure for this year without any frequencies. What does it mean? If you were following the Romanian financial press, you might have seen that the regulator, ANCOM, has announced its intention to sell extra frequencies, the 700.
The 5G frequencies, the 700 frequencies and the 3,500 frequencies later on this year. Most likely this auction will take place. Without the frequencies, we are already in the EUR 530 million territory. This is, I believe, a good approximation for our expectation for CapEx for this year for the entire group. For 2023, it's too early for us to say. If I were to comment on the higher number in comparison to before, we have accelerated our projects in Romania, both in fixed area and in mobile area. In particular, in fixed area, we have deployed a lot of resources to upgrade the AKTA DCS network that we acquired two years ago.
As of now, this network is fully upgraded to fiber optic. Yeah, this has been a remarkable achievement and a big effort on our side. Similarly, we are growing in the mobile. Of course, Spain is consuming an important part of CapEx for expanding its fixed broadband portfolio. Next question is from Bert. A quick follow-up on my first question. I think you said you expect to generate revenue next year in Belgium. Is that the timeframe regardless of whether that will be as MVNO or not? I would have to clarify.
I did not say neither in this meeting or in other discussions that we will generate revenues in Belgium next year, because this is rather unlikely. Again, in an unlikely scenario of starting an MVNO that is possible. As I said, MVNO is not the A scenario, probably it's a B scenario, it's a C scenario or some other type of scenario. We do not have an expectation to start generating sales in Belgium next year. Barry Zeitoun, also on Belgium, how are you investing into the JV, and what will be the phasing of payments we need to think about from an equity standpoint? Are you and Citymesh matching investments? What are your get out clauses if things do not go to plan from either party?
I'm not sure I can answer these questions very precisely. Just a very general comment. We are more or less equal partners. We have started this project together, for good. We hope to address all the possible issues in the future. As such, we do not have complex exit agreements, long stop agreements or, I don't know, stopping agreements or in any case. This is not necessarily the angle with which we look at our investment and at our partnership with Citymesh. We're really early on and we want to start and build our investment. I think the only proper answer is that we are more or less equal partners in that.
A question from Kyle: Can you provide guidance on ramp-up costs for expansion into Belgium and Portugal and guidance on spend? Would this be in excess of EUR 100 million? When do you plan on coming back to the markets? Yes. Certainly both territories will require investments of in excess of EUR 100 million. We do not expect investments to be significant and meaningful this year. It is best if we discuss the investments into Belgium and Portugal when we address the next year CapEx projections at the end of when we discuss possibly our Q3 or Q4 results later on this year or early next year. Question from Joshua Mills. A few more on Belgium, please. I have to comment.
I think it's a Belgian call this time, not a Romanian, not Spanish one. I hope everybody has interest. Sorry. Thank you. Question from Joshua Mills. A few more on Belgium, please. How are you investing into the JV, and what will be the? Excuse me. I think we addressed this already. Excuse me. This is just a repeat. Thomas Sherr, can you give an update on the potential broadcasting law change in Romania? Possible effects on Digi. Yeah. Thank you, Thomas. Maybe about one month ago, the Romanian parliament has amended the Romanian Audiovisual Code and introduced new requirements or extra requirements for the operators.
Sorry, the main reason for update was to make the Romanian Audiovisual Code in line with the European legislation. This is one. Second, in particular for the operators, there were several changes affecting the way the content is distributed to the customers, both in cable networks but also in satellite networks. The law has been recently passed and our lawyers and together with the authorities are still analyzing its impact. I mean, it's difficult to say more, or if you have something more precise in mind, maybe you can ask it in a more direct way. A question from Matei Kovach, Cotidian. What are your plans for pricing in the current inflationary environment?
Can we expect dynamically increase the outputs to offset cost increases? Do you have any intention to keep a minimum EBITDA margin? I think we've already touched these questions. Maybe just as an add-on to what we discussed already. Yes, we can. Our relationship with our customers, our agreements with our customers allow us to adjust the pricing, either for inflationary impacts or for Forex movements. We have used these clauses. We have used these mechanisms very infrequently. Last time we raised prices was in 2019, both in Romania and Hungary at that moment. Hungary, we sold in the meantime. That was done first time in a time span of 10 years. This is really the context.
This does not imply anything. There is no decision to do the price, the next price hike in the next 10 years only. There is also a decision to really increase the prices or to decrease the prices anytime. You're right. In the end, EBITDA margin will determine whether we have to increase the prices, but we will do the best we can to both manage the margin, to manage our costs and to manage our revenues to delay this as much as we can. Again, this is our philosophy. This is our strategy. We want to be as close as possible to our customers. We want to maintain our growth profile. I think this is somehow clear from the way we have run our business in the last years.
Yeah, I'm just in a way repeating myself. A question from Lucian Matoianu. Can you be more specific on Romanian strategy moving forward? Any different approach between fixed and mobile? What's your strengths against big players like Orange and Vodafone, except price in the mobile, B2C as well B2B? I could have been offended by this question and take it as a joke. We believe we have many differences between other operators. Certainly pricing is not the key element of our strategy. If it's the only thing we could have transmitted to you, we got it, we did it completely wrong, unfortunately. The idea is very simple. First and foremost, we are technology leader in all markets where we operate.
In Romania, close to 100% of our fixed users are enjoying the most developed, the highest quality fiber optic network. In the mobile, we are striving to do the same, to bring the highest coverage as close as possible to our users. The difference is that we are the last comer to this market, and most of the effort of us developing the network took place in the last maybe 5, 7 years in Romania. I believe this is really visible. This is really visible in the way the customer number grows. First and foremost, it's technology quality. It's all other elements of the offering, the content, the service level and so on and so forth. It's only last the price.
To say that we are a low-cost operator would be completely wrong. We certainly wouldn't be proud of that, and that is not our intention. Sorry to put it in such an abrupt manner, and I do hope you sense the joke in my voice. Thank you. A question from Thomas Sherr. On Romanian pricing, what are the competitors doing? Are they increasing prices? Look, it's kind of difficult to follow the competitors from this point of view. We don't see price increases, especially in the last period. We rather see homogeneous pricing around similar packages or around similar bundles. We...
I mean, if a customer wants, let's say, a broadband subscription with a cable or a triple play package where the customer enjoys a mobile broadband and a TV subscription, I think at any time you can find an offer that is very comparable from all three operators. This, of course, does not say what happens with the legacy base of each other competitor. We do not know how our other competitors are pricing across the entire base. Again, if you are a new customer in the market or if you are a customer looking for a new service or to change today your service provider in the market, I believe you really find comparable offers from all operators.
Andre Klaus, "What is the update on the accounting issues raised with the full year 2021 report?" Thank you for the question. We do expect to publish our final 2021 report around September 16. We've discussed this with our auditor, KPMG, and that is the current calendar. We were hoping to publish this at the end of July, beginning of August. Unfortunately, due to simply, I mean, workload and work that was required for this was not possible. We have hit the August season, which is a holiday season in the professional sector. We had also to allow some of our employees to go on a vacation. For this reason, we had to postpone the issuance of the report.
Maybe more importantly, we have issued the preliminary report at the end of May with those seven qualifications. In my view, those are not really accounting issues, but we rushed through the report. We wanted to publish the report as quickly as possible to let the market see the big picture or the important picture. We ignored, let's say, the quality. The intention is to resolve all of those accounting issues and to publish a clean report, except for one item. We are still struggling with certain elements of IFRS 16 Hungary numbers for 2021. It may not be feasible to resolve this before September 16 deadline.
The intention is to provide a report which is clean, except for IFRS 16 Hungary and around September 2016. I hope this is helpful. Question from Joshua Mills. Sorry, my questions have been answered. Thank you. Thank you as well. Andrew Webb, "Is there an expectation for a meaningful pullback in CapEx in Romania following the acceleration fixed mobile development this year? Is EUR 500 million reasonable CapEx envelope going forward, including the more than EUR 100 million Portugal and 50% of the EUR 100 million in Belgium in the coming years?" This is not necessarily a wrong framework to think. Let me not answer yes or no. Let me come back with, let's say, an outlook later on toward the end of this year. The framework is certainly not wrong.
We will do effort to decrease our CapEx in Romania in the future periods. We will work on that. I presume the 2-2.5 net leverage range you provided last year is no longer intact given the Belgian announcement. Is there any expectation for a return to the targeted range? Yeah. Possibly we would have to expand the range a bit and to expand the range to 2-3 times EBITDA. As you appreciate, 3 times is not a high leverage ratio for an operator similar to us.
As you will appreciate, 3x leverage is relatively modest, given the high speed of growth that we are able to achieve. Next question is from Vasil. Will the Belgian joint venture have two management teams, one for B2B and one for B2C? Just to explain a little bit, the Belgian setup and our cooperation with Citymesh. As it was also announced in the press release, and as you appreciate, we are two partners, two equal partners in this joint venture. However, in terms of final users, final customers, we are a bit different. Citymesh is a B2B operator. We traditionally are a B2C operator, and our Digi's focus is 100% on B2C operations.
From this point of view, the marketing structures will certainly be separate and we will address the markets, you know, somewhat separately. In any case, in terms of the B2C operations, we're we still remain partners with Citymesh. But we, Digi, we have no interest in the B2B operations. Second question is, how will you be using and sharing the network when Cegeka will be using it for B2B customers while you allocate capacity for B2C customers? Do you see any congestion or bottleneck risks? Thank you. This is a very detailed technical question and lots of colleagues that are smarter than I am are looking at it. We certainly do not expect any bottlenecks from this sharing.
I think we will be fully complementary to each other, and the network will be designed to address both B2B and B2C customers in a prompt and appropriate manner. Do you have any updates on the filing of your audit financial statements after the qualified audit opinion on the preliminary 2021 accounts? I believe this was expected in August. I did answer this previously. September sixteenth is the new deadline. Lucian Matoianu, we see other players, not only Romania, Spain or Italy, embracing IoT rise to address the slowdown of the traditional services. What are Digi plans on this, leveraging superior infrastructure? Well, look, we are still busy with growth in the traditional segments.
We certainly and here now we speak of Romania because I just said a bit earlier that we have little interest in B2B, and that's certainly related to Belgium. If we are coming back to Romania, we are certainly interested to cover all segments of the spectrum, including IoT. Yeah, we are still looking for further development of the technology, 5G. We are still looking for proper rollout of 5G. We are still looking for the spectrum to be auctioned and so on. In the meantime, we are really busy with the conventional customers. Yeah. Thank you. It was long. I hope we kept you interested. So far there are no questions.
We'll wait for a minute or so, and if this is the end, we will close the meeting. Well, thank you very much. It was quiet for the last two minutes. Thank you very much for your interest. Thank you very much for the discussion. It was extremely engaged and lively. We will hear each other back in mid-November when we will discuss the Q3 results. Thank you once again, and have a good rest of the summer to all of you. Bye-bye.
