Orange group revenues grew 1.3% compared with the first quarter of 20221 (+135 million euros) thanks to growth in retail services (+2.8% or 219 million euros), fueled in particular by repricing in Europe and by the growth driver Africa and Middle East.

  • Africa & Middle East was the main contributor to this growth with a sharp 9.1% increase in revenues (+141 million euros), followed by Europe with 3.8% growth (+102 million euros), driven by Poland (+7.1%) and Spain, which has confirmed its return to growth (+2.8%) for the third consecutive quarter.

  • Revenues in France were 1.8% lower (-78 million euros) as a result of the downward trend in wholesale in line with our expectations (-7.8%). This was partially offset by the increase in retail services excluding STN2 (at +2.1%, its low point for the year). The recent repricing that will be fully effective as of the second quarter will progressively contribute to the growth in retail services.

  • The slight 0.7% decrease in Enterprise revenues (-14 million euros) continued to be driven by the sharp decline in fixed voice revenues (-11.6%), partially offset by growth in IT & Integration services revenues (+5.3%). The recovery plan for this segment is ongoing.

  • In terms of commercial performance, the Group maintained its leadership position in convergence, with 11.6 million convergent customers across Europe (+0.6%), and its commercial momentum on mobile contracts and very high-speed fixed broadband. Mobile services had 243.4 million accesses (+5.0%), including 95.8 million contracts (+8.5%). Fixed services totaled 45.0 million accesses (down 2.7%), including 14.7 million very high-speed broadband accesses, that continued to grow strongly (+14.7%). Fixed narrowband accesses continued to decline (-14.2%).

At 31 March 2023, Group EBITDAaL stood at 2,590 million euros, up 0.5%, in line with the target of slight growth in 2023. The EBITDAaL margin for telecom activities, traditionally lower in the first quarter, was 24.7% owing to a more severe seasonality effect this year related to the recognition of operating taxes. The next few quarters will further benefit from the price increases introduced in early 2023. EBITDAaL from telecom activities was 2,625 million euros (+0.9%).

eCAPEX totaled 1,493 million euros in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 4.9% year on year and in line with the target of a significant reduction in 2023. The number of households connectable to FTTH reached 66.6 million (+13.8%) and the FTTH customer base increased to 14.2 million (+15.1%).

The Group confirms its financial targets, in particular those for 20233, as presented at the Capital Market Day on 16 February:

  • Slight growth in EBITDAaL

  • Significant reduction in eCAPEX

  • Organic cash flow from telecom activities of at least 3.5 billion euros

  • Net debt/EBITDAaL ratio for telecom activities unchanged at around 2x in the medium term

  • Proposed increase in the dividend for the 2023 financial year to 0.72 euros including an interim dividend of 0.30 euros in December 2023

Commenting on the publication of these results, Christel Heydemann, Chief Executive Officer of the Orange group, said:

The continued increase in revenues and EBITDAaL, as well as the decrease in eCapex compared to Q1 2022, are in line with our objectives for 2023 and reinforce our ambition for the years to come.

We have started to execute our "Lead the Future" strategic plan with an even more value-oriented commercial strategy thanks to the quality of our networks and services which, combined with our cost controls, allow us to partially offset inflation. Our performance is once again driven by the remarkable growth in Africa and the Middle East and our strong value-driven growth in Europe. This quarter our retail services returned to growth in Spain, a country that has now seen growth for three consecutive quarters, and we’ve had double-digit revenue growth in our Orange Money business in Africa. Both demonstrate the strength of the Group and our ability to respond to increased competitive pressure. In France, retail services continue to grow and this should further accelerate in the second half of the year due to the recent price increases. Finally, in the Enterprise segment, we are executing our transformation plan.

I would like to warmly thank all the Orange teams who strive every day to serve our customers well and are committed to the deployment of our "Lead the Future" strategic plan. Together, we will deliver our ambitions in terms of growth and long-term value creation.

Retail services, which continued to grow this quarter, will benefit during the rest of the year from the latest price increases.

France’s revenues were 1.8% lower at 4,307 million euros in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022. This translated to the decline in wholesale of 7.8% (-93 million euro), in line with our medium-term expectations and partially offset by an increase in retail services.

Retail services revenues were up 0.6% (+17 million euros) and even rose 2.1% excluding STN. This growth is expected to accelerate during the rest of the year as a result of the recent price increases (both for existing customers and new offers). This will continue to drive convergent ARPO, which grew 2.2% in the first quarter to more than 72 euros.

All our customers affected by base price increases have now been informed. As expected, this led to a limited increase in the mobile churn rate (which reached 12.0% on mobile, +0.8pt compared to Q1 2022) that weighed on net additions in the first quarter of this year with +3,0004 for mobile and -21,000 for fixed-line, but still included very strong volumes for fiber with +287,000 net sales. The price increases, which will only be fully effective in the second quarter, will contribute progressively to revenues during the year.

Lastly, revenues from equipment sales rose 7.7% (+22 million euros).

Europe confirms its strong momentum in recent quarters with accelerated growth.

Europe revenues grew 3.8% in the first quarter (+102 million euros) driven by retail services, which rose 3.6% (+64 million euros) thanks to the solid performance by Convergence and Mobile revenues which benefitted from the rate increases introduced in all regions in 2022.

Equipment sales also rose sharply by 17.4% year on year (+63 million euros) while the 7.4% decline in wholesale services (-32 million euros) was due to the regulatory reduction in call termination rates which had little impact on margins.

In addition to the good performance of Spain (+2.8%), growth in Other European countries (+4.6%) was driven by Poland (+7.1%).

Indeed Spain confirmed its revenue growth, up 2.8% (+32 million euros) in the first quarter of 2023, with retail services and equipment sales both returning to growth, at +1.2% (+9 million euros) and +18% (+27 million euros), respectively.

In a still highly competitive market, Orange Spain continued to drive value through higher value-added offers, combined with a disciplined marketing policy and growth in B2B activities. This was reflected again this quarter in the 3.5% improvement in its convergent ARPO (after +2.0% in the fourth quarter of 2022), while the level of churn continued to fall.

We are therefore confident in our ability to return to EBITDAaL growth this year.

Africa & Middle East again delivered an exceptional performance in the first quarter of 2023.

Africa & Middle East recorded a strong 9.1% rise in revenues (+141 million euros), with growth in all countries in the region, and double-digit growth in nearly half of them. The region thus demonstrated its agility and resilience amid security tensions and currency devaluations in some countries.

This performance was based on the continued rapid development of retail services (+9.4%) due to double-digit growth in the four growth engines, namely mobile data (+19.1%), fixed broadband (+17.9%), Orange Money (+20.7%) and B2B (+15.1%), with positive volume and value effects.

Orange Money’s return to double-digit growth shows the effectiveness of our response plan in the face of increasing competition.

The mobile customer base reached 143.9 million, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%, with a 3.2% increase in average mobile ARPO.

Recovery plan ongoing.

Enterprise revenues fell slightly by 0.7% (-14 million euros) to 1,951 million euros in the first quarter of 2023.

The decrease in the legacy fixed activities (-58 million euros), voice in particular, was partially offset by growth in IT & Integration services (+44 million euros).

The Digital & Data and Orange Cyberdefense activities produced double-digit growth of 12.7% and 10.5% respectively in the first quarter of 2023.

As part of the ongoing recovery plan aimed at implementing a new organization and substantially reducing costs, Orange Business entered into discussions with the trade unions on a collective contract termination agreement to support approximately 670 voluntary departures in its legacy activities in France.

At the same time, to accelerate its digital transformation, Orange Business has initiated a training and retraining program of 5,000 employees for roles in key digital disciplines (virtualization, cloud, data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity), while also launching an ambitious program to recruit 800 experts in cybersecurity and as many again in the digital services fields of Cloud and Digital & Data.

Wholesale services revenues were down 13.2% (-35 million euros), due primarily to the downward trend in low-margin voice revenues. Mobile (mainly roaming-related services) and data services were on the rise.

The 6.0% increase in other revenues (+7 million euros) was due to a spike in activity at Orange Marine during the quarter.


Mobile Financial Services

Mobile Financial Services had 3.1 million customers at 31 March 2023, including 2.0 million in Europe (Orange Bank) and 1.1 million in Africa (Orange Bank Africa).

In the first quarter, new accounts opened at Orange Bank (Europe) rose 14% and loans disbursed (excluding mortgages) increased 34%.

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.
