Commenting on these good results, Christel Heydemann, Chief Executive Officer of the Orange group, said:
“With revenues and EBITDAaL both growing in the third quarter, Orange posted solid results and I would like to sincerely thank all employees for their continued commitment.
The 0.8% increase in our Group revenues highlights our ability to capitalize on our core business. In a competitive environment in Europe, we have delivered a solid commercial performance: our customer bases continue to grow in France, Europe and Africa & Middle East. We have just passed the symbolic threshold of 300 million customers worldwide, underlining the Group’s leadership status.
Furthermore, we have just announced a non-binding joint offer with Bouygues Telecom and Free-Groupe iliad to acquire a large part of Altice's activities in France. While ensuring continuity of service for SFR customers, this operation would: make it possible to step up investments in very high-speed network resilience, in cyber security and in new technologies such as artificial intelligence; consolidate control over strategic infrastructure in France; and maintain a competitive ecosystem for the benefit of consumers.
There is no certainty at this stage that an agreement will be reached, but we aim to create a constructive dialogue and we remain focused on the execution of our strategy.
Results remain excellent in Africa & Middle East, with double-digit revenue growth for the tenth consecutive quarter. Mobile Financial Services remain a strong lever for value creation, with Orange Money boasting 44 million active users.
We announced the creation with MASORANGE of PremiumFiber in Spain, our joint venture with Vodafone Spain and GIC3.
Our operational efficiency projects and rigorous cost control enabled EBITDAaL growth of 3.7% in the third quarter as well as margin improvement. Therefore, we are revising our guidance on EBITDAaL upward, increasing our annual EBITDAaL growth target to at least 3.5%.
These results illustrate the excellent execution of our Lead the Future plan. The evolution of this plan will be presented at our Capital Markets Day on 19 February 2026.”
In the third quarter of 2025, the Group revenues increased 0.8% year on year4 (+83 million euros) thanks to growth in retail services (+2.6% or +192 million euros), partly offset by the trends in wholesale services (-5.2% or -78 million euros), equipment sales (-1.4% or -9 million euros) and other revenues (-9.1% or -21 million euros).
- Africa & Middle East contributed significantly to this growth with revenues rising 12.2% driven by a 13.1% increase in retail services. This momentum was fueled by a robust performance in voice (+4.5%) and the region’s four growth drivers with mobile data up 18.1%, Orange Money up 17.4%, fixed broadband up 18.2% and B2B up 9.3%.
- France delivered a solid commercial performance in the third quarter of 2025, with mobile net additions reaching their highest level since 2022, supported by a two-point improvement in churn rate year on year. The convergent and fixed broadband customer bases also continued to grow. The revenues evolution (-3.7%) reflects the impact of price effects on retail services and the expected trends in wholesale services (-9.0%) and equipment sales. In a market that remains competitive, retail services excluding PSTN grew 0.2%.
- Europe posted revenue growth of 4.7%, largely due to the positive trend in retail services which rose 4.1%. This momentum was fueled by a good commercial performance, 5.7% growth in convergence and the exceptional increase in IT and Integration Services in Poland. Revenues from wholesale services increased 8.2% in the third quarter of 2025 and was up 0.6% over the nine-month period.
- Orange Business revenues decreased 4.3%. A challenging IT market and the optimization of the products and services portfolio undertaken last year affected IT and Integration Services (-1.4%). Orange Cyberdefense continued to deliver dynamic growth (+6.3% over the nine-month period).
In terms of commercial performance, the Group maintained its leadership position in convergence in France and Europe. It demonstrated very good commercial momentum in mobile contracts and in very high-speed fixed broadband, passing the threshold of 10 million FTTH customers in France. Mobile services had 269.7 million accesses worldwide (+6.6%) including 100.4 million contracts (+5.9%). Fixed services had 38.1 million accesses worldwide (-1.5%), with 22.7 million fixed broadband accesses (+4.7%), of which 16.0 million were very high-speed broadband accesses, an area of continued strong growth (+13.4%).
Group EBITDAaL increased 3.7% in the third quarter and the margin improved 0.7 point. This increase is the result of operational efficiency projects and allows us to raise our annual EBITDAaL growth target again to at least 3.5%.
The Group’s eCAPEX grew 8.3% in the third quarter and 5.4% over the nine-month period, mainly driven by investments to support growth in Africa & Middle East. In the third quarter, eCAPEX for telecom activities as a percentage of revenues was 14.7%, in line with the target for 2025.
Financial objectives
The Group is upgrading its full-year guidance5:
- EBITDAaL growth of at least 3.5%
- Discipline on eCAPEX in line with the Capital Markets Day
- Organic cash flow from telecom activities of at least 3.6 billion euros
- Net debt/EBITDAaL ratio from telecom activities unchanged at around 2x in the medium term
- Orange has set, in respect of the 2025 fiscal year, a dividend floor of 0.75 euros per share6. Orange will make an interim dividend cash payment for 2025 of 0.30 euros on 4 December 2025.

Robust commercial performance supported by a strong year-on-year improvement in churn rate
Revenues in France totaled 4,341 million euros in the third quarter (-3.7% or -168 million euros). Retail services excluding PSTN rose 0.2%, driven by a strong commercial performance and 1.1% growth in convergent ARPO which reached 78.6 euros.
In a market that remains highly competitive at the entry level, mobile net additions (+138,0007) reached their highest level since 2022. Convergent and fixed broadband customer bases continued to grow with +20,000 and +39,000 net additions respectively. In September, Orange passed the historical threshold of 10 million fiber customers. This growth in customer bases was accompanied by very good momentum in the mobile churn rate (11.4%) with an improvement of more than two points year on year. Customer satisfaction continued to improve with the Net Promoter Score above 33 in the third quarter.
The trend in wholesale services (-9.0% or -101 million euros) illustrates the expected effect of the decommissioning of copper and the decline in equipment sales (-6% or -22 million euros) in line with market trends.
The Group confirms its ambition to achieve slightly better EBITDAaL growth in France in 2025, above that of 2024.

Double-digit growth for the tenth consecutive quarter
Africa & Middle East revenues totaled 2,106 million euros in the third quarter, up 12.2% (230 million euros). Eleven out of sixteen countries in the region recorded double-digit growth. As in previous quarters, this performance was underpinned by growth in retail services of 13.1% (+223 million euros), with a solid performance in voice (+4.5%) and in the region’s four growth drivers (mobile data up 18.1%, Orange Money up 17.4%, fixed broadband up 18.2% and B2B up 9.3%).
In the third quarter, Africa & Middle East delivered a solid commercial performance with strong growth in customer bases:
- +19.2% for Orange Money reaching 44.2 million active customers,
- +19.8% for 4G to 88.4 million customers,
- +8.0% for the total mobile customer base to 172.9 million customers,
- +23.1% for fixed broadband representing 4.6 million customers.
This growth in customer bases was combined with good momentum in ARPO and in particular mobile ARPO which grew 5.5%.
The Group confirmed its target for double-digit EBITDAaL growth in the Africa & Middle East segment in 2025.

Retail and IT & Integration Services drive dynamic revenue growth
In the third quarter of 2025, Europe revenues rose 4.7% (81 million euros) to 1,813 million euros. The 4.1% increase in retail services was driven by convergent services, which grew 5.7% (21 million euros), and by the exceptional increase this quarter in IT and Integration Services (33.0% or 36 million euros) in Poland.
In the third quarter, Europe delivered a solid retail commercial performance with an acceleration in net additions for mobile(8) and fiber (+183,000 and +65,000 respectively) and up 22,000 in convergent services.
This volume increase was combined with value growth, with in particular an increase in convergent ARPO in Poland (3.6%).
These good results are consistent with the ambition to achieve low-single digit EBITDAaL growth in Europe in 2025.

A difficult IT market environment
Orange Business revenues in the third quarter of 2025 were 1,747 million euros (-4.3% or -113 million euros). Fixed-only revenues stood at 666 million euros (-8.1%), an anticipated trend, while mobile revenues were 217 million euros (-3.0%).
A challenging IT market, notably in France, and the optimization of the products and services portfolio undertaken last year had an impact on IT and Integration Services which were down 1.4%.
Orange Cyberdefense continued to achieve dynamic growth of 6.3% in the nine-month period.
The conditions of the global IT market and the French macroeconomic environment make it difficult to achieve the ambition of halving the decrease in EBITDAaL in 2025 compared to 2024.
TOTEM
| In millions of euros | 3Q 2025 | change comparable basis | change historical basis | 9M 2025 | change comparable basis | change historical basis | ||

Third-quarter revenues for the TowerCo TOTEM were 179 million euros, an increase of 4.0% (7 million euros) lead by growth in external hosting revenues.
The tenancy ratio was 1.45x up from 1.41x in the third quarter of 2024.
International Carriers & Shared Services

| Other revenues | 105 | 1.2 % | 1.4 % | 309 | (7.8)% | (8.6)% |
Revenues from International Carriers and Shared Services fell 4.0% in the third quarter (-13 million euros), mainly as a result of the downward trend in voice and SMS traffic.
Mobile Financial Services
The plan to cease Orange Bank’s activities in Europe is proceeding in accordance with the objectives.
MASORANGE9
Our MASORANGE joint venture continues to create value with synergies close to the target of 300 million euros by the end of the year.
Revenues increased 1.7% during the quarter, thanks to good performance in both the B2B market and new business initiatives. We recorded 111,000 mobile net additions and maintained stable volumes on fixed broadband.

Appendix 5: glossary
Key figures
Data on a comparable basis: data based on comparable accounting principles, scope of consolidation and exchange rates are presented for previous periods. The transition from data on an historical basis to data on a comparable basis consists of keeping the results for the period ended and then restating the results for the corresponding period of the preceding year for the purpose of presenting, over comparable periods, financial data with comparable accounting principles, scope of consolidation and exchange rate. The method used is to apply to the data of the corresponding period of the preceding year, the accounting principles and scope of consolidation for the period just ended as well as the average exchange rate used for the income statement for the period ended. Changes in data on a comparable basis reflect organic business changes. Data on a comparable basis is not a financial aggregate as defined by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly-named indicators used by other companies.
Retail services (B2C + B2B): aggregation of revenues from (i) Convergent services, (ii) Mobile-only services, (iii) Fixed-only services and (iv) IT & integration services (see definitions). Retail Services (B2C+B2B) revenues include all revenues of a given scope excluding revenues from wholesale services, equipment sales and other revenues (see definitions).
EBITDAaL or “EBITDA after Leases”: operating income (i) before depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, effects resulting from business combinations, impairment of goodwill and fixed assets, share of profits (losses) of associates and joint ventures, (ii) after interest on debts related to financed assets and on lease liabilities, and (iii) adjusted for significant litigation, specific labor expenses, fixed assets, investments and businesses portfolio review, restructuring programs costs, acquisition and integration costs and, where appropriate, other specific elements. EBITDAaL is not a financial aggregate as defined by IFRS standards and may not be directly comparable to similarly-named indicators in other companies.
eCAPEX or “economic CAPEX”: (i) acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, excluding telecommunications licenses and financed assets, (ii) less the price of disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. eCAPEX is not a financial performance indicator as defined by IFRS standards and may not be directly comparable to indicators referenced by similarly-named indicators in other companies.
Organic Cash Flow (telecoms activities): for the perimeter of the telecoms activities, net cash provided by operating activities, minus (i) lease liabilities repayments and debts related to financed assets repayments, and (ii) purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of the change in the fixed assets payables, (iii) excluding telecommunication licenses paid and significant litigations paid or received. Organic Cash Flow (telecoms activities) is not a financial aggregate defined by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly-named indicators used by other companies.
Free cash flow all-in (telecoms activities): Free cash flow all-in from telecom activities corresponds to net cash provided by operating activities, minus (i) purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of the change in the fixed assets payables, (ii) repayments of lease liabilities and on debts related to financed assets, and (iii) payments of coupons on subordinated notes. Free cash flow all-in from telecom activities is not a financial aggregate defined by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly-named indicators used by other companies.
Earnings per share (EPS) – Group share Net income – Basic: Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing (a) net income for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Group, after deduction of the remuneration net of the tax to holders of subordinated notes, by (b) the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): ROCE (Return On Capital Employed) from telecoms activities corresponds to Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) for the year ended (N) divided by Net Operating Assets (NOA) for the previous year (N-1).
Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) for the year ended (N) corresponds to operating profit (i) after interest on lease liabilities and on debts related to financed assets, and (ii) after income tax adjusted for the tax impact of financial income excluding interest on lease liabilities and on debts related to financed assets (tax charge calculated on the basis of the statutory tax rate applicable in France, the tax jurisdiction of the parent company Orange SA).
Net Operating Assets (NOA) for the previous year (N-1) correspond to (i) equity and (ii) financial liabilities and derivative liabilities (non‑current and current), excluding debts on financed assets, (iii) less financial assets and derivative assets (non‑current and current), cash and cash equivalents, including investments in Mobile Financial Services.
ROCE from telecoms activities is not a financial aggregate defined by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly-named indicators used by other companies.
