Our extra financial performance
Results and objectives
Solid third-quarter results, leading to an increase in annual EBITDAaL growth guidance
Strong net additions in France, Europe, and Africa & Middle East: 8.2 million new customers in Q3 2025, threshold of 300 million customers reached.
Double-digit revenue growth for Africa & Middle East for the tenth consecutive quarter.
Group EBITDAaL up 3.7% with a 0.7point EBITDAaL margin improvement.
Full-year 2025 EBITDAaL guidance raised to at least 3.5%
the Group revenues increased 0.8% year on year(4) (+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).
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.
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%).
