Orange raises full-year outlook after growth in Africa, Europe and Spain

The group reported quarterly revenue of €12.2 billion, up 3.6% on a comparable basis, and lifted its EBITDAaL growth target to above 4.5%.

Orange reported on October 27 that revenue reached €12.2 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up 3.6% year on year on a comparable basis. EBITDAaL, a measure of operating earnings after leases, rose 4.6% to about €4.1 billion. These are group figures, not a measure of mobile-only revenue or 5G users. [1][2]

The company reported growth across its regions: 14.2% in Africa and the Middle East, 5.3% across its six-country European segment, 3.5% in Spain and 0.5% in France. Orange raised its full-year 2026 EBITDAaL growth target to more than 4.5%, from a previous target of more than 4%. This is guidance, not a result already achieved. [1][2]

Orange reported more than 367 million customer accesses at the end of September. Orange España has been included in the consolidated perimeter since June, so changes in the reported access total should not be read as wholly organic growth. The archive photograph shows the group's headquarters near Paris in 2023, not a facility connected with this quarter's results. [1][2]
