Orange posts solid H1

July 29, 2025

Orange has reported group revenues rose slightly in the first half of 2025 (+0.3 per cent or €67 million) thanks to growth in retail services (+2.1 per cent or +€312 million) and a smaller decline in wholesale services (-4.4 per cent or -€129 million). Equipment sales were in line with market trends (-5.8 per cent or -€75 million). Full-year 2025 guidance has been upgraded to EBITDAaL growth above 3 per cent.

Commenting on the results, Christel Heydemann, Chief Executive Officer of the Orange group, said: “Orange delivered a solid first half, allowing us to raise our EBITDAaL growth target for 2025. Over this period, we achieved an EBITDAaL growth of 3.8 per cent, with a notable acceleration of 0.9 per cent in France, and increased organic cash flow by 7.7 per cent. This performance is the result of our Lead the Future strategy and reflects our efforts to improve our operational efficiency.

Our commercial performance was excellent in France, Europe and Africa & Middle East. In France, our mobile networks were ranked number one for the 14th time in a row.I would also like to highlight our performance in Africa & Middle East, with a double-digit increase in EBITDAaL for the tenth consecutive half. This remarkable performance was driven by access to our 4G and 5G networks, now used by more than half of our 167 million customers, as well as by the development of Orange Money and B2B growth.

In Orange Business, we have launched a new division dedicated to defense and security to seize opportunities in the area of sovereignty. This will enable us to capitalize on Orange’s power of innovation, cybersecurity expertise and network quality. I would sincerely like to thank all Orange teams for their commitment and performance during this first half,” Heydemann concluded.
