• Annual revenues for 2022 climbed 0.6%¹ due to continued strong growth in Africa & Middle East (+6.4%) and the solid performance of retail services (+2.0%), boosted by price increases introduced in each of the Group’s European countries.
• EBITDAaL reached almost 13 billion euros, rising 2.5% in line with the target, thanks to cost discipline. The robust performance of Africa & Middle East (+11.3%) fully offset the sharp decline in Enterprise (-18.8%). Europe grew 1.6% thanks to the recovery in Spain. All other segments contributed to EBITDAaL growth in 2022.

EBITDAaL rose significantly in the fourth quarter (+8.5%) as a result of price increases achieved in Europe and a base effect linked to the 2021 employee shareholding plan. Excluding this base effect, EBITDAaL grew 2.9%.

• Operating income of 4,801 million euros was 2,280 million euros higher year on year² held back by the impairment of Romania.
• Consolidated net income totaled 2,617 million euros, compared with 778 million euros in 2021².
• eCAPEX fell 0.7% to less than 7.4 billion euros, in line with the target, due to fiber roll-out in France reaching maturity.
• Organic cash flow from Telecom activities grew strongly to 3,058 million euros (+27.4% on a historical basis), in line with the target of at least 2.9 billion euros.
• The net debt to EBITDAaL ratio for telecom activities of 1.93x was in line with the medium-term target of around 2x.
• The Shareholders’ Meeting on 23 May 2023 will decide on the payment of a dividend of 0.70 euros per share for fiscal year 2022.

Financial targets

In 2023, Orange aims to achieve the following targets³:

• 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

For the 2023 fiscal year, we will increase the dividend floor to 0.72 euros per share, including an interim dividend of 0.30 euros per share to be paid in December 2023, subject to approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

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

“As we launch our new strategic plan “Lead the future”, I am proud to present these very solid results that deliver on all the objectives we set for the year, even in a context marked by strong inflation and geopolitical instability. I would like to highlight in particular the achievement of the growth ambition we set for EBITDAaL, with an increase of 2.5% for 2022. This performance was due to our “Scale up” operational efficiency programme that has delivered 700 million euros of cumulative net indirect cost savings since 2019, beating our objectives, as well as our ability to raise prices across our European footprint.

The Africa and Middle East region has delivered excellent results, with a notable performance from Orange Money in the fourth quarter which succeeded in repositioning itself in a competitive market. In France, where the market continues to evolve at pace, we had good commercial momentum driven by the high quality of our customers’ experience as well as our net fiber and mobile sales. Also worthy of note was the excellent commercial performance in Europe which relies on convergence to drive the success of premium offers. In Spain, the turnaround is well underway and we’re seeing the fruits of our work there particularly in the increased margins achieved in the second half. In the Enterprise segment, the ongoing transformation of business models calls for the rigorous action plan that we’re presenting today.

These results further confirm my confidence in the sense and relevance of our strategy for the years ahead. They clearly demonstrate the Group’s capacity to create value by concentrating on our fundamentals. I’d like to thank all of the Group’s teams around the world for their contribution to this performance. Today, we have a solid base from which to put our new strategic plan into action, working together and with determination. We’re targeting long-term growth and continual transformation to allow us to move forward both with agility and confidence.”

Comments on Group key figures

Revenues

Orange group revenues totaled 43,471 million euros in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 0.6%.

Africa & Middle East was the main contributor to this growth, with revenues rising by 414 million euros (+6.4%), followed by Totem, whose revenues grew by 89 million euros (+14.9%). Europe saw a return to growth (+0.6%), with a strong recovery underway in Spain and solid performances in Poland (+4.7%) and Belgium (+2.0%).

France recorded a decline of 193 million euros (-1.1%) due to lower revenues from wholesale services and despite a 3.1% increase in retail services excluding STN.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Orange group revenues rose 1.3% to 11,351 million euros. Growth continued to be driven by retail services⁴, which rose 2.5%, and IT & Integration services, which grew 10.8%, while the decline in wholesale services slowed to -2.9%. Totem confirmed its strong commercial momentum by signing a contract with Iliad.

Customer base growth at 31 December 2022

There were 11.6 million convergent customers Group-wide, an increase of 0.8% year on year.

Mobile services had 241.9 million accesses, an increase of 5.9% year on year, including 94 million contracts, an increase of 8.9% year on year.

Fixed services totaled 45.4 million accesses (down 2.6% year on year), including 14.2 million very high-speed broadband accesses, an area still growing strongly (+15.6% year on year). Fixed narrowband accesses decreased 13.8% year on year.

EBITDAaL

Group EBITDAaL of 12,963 million euros in 2022 was up 2.5%, in line with the target.

Africa & Middle East remained the main contributor to this performance with growth of 11.3%, easily offsetting the sharp decline in Enterprise, a priority focus for the Group, which fell 18.8% year on year.

Europe grew 1.6% thanks to the recovery in Spain, where the trend is clearly improving (-4%, compared with -12.7% in 2021). All other segments also contributed to EBITDAaL growth in 2022. IC&SS improved by 141 million euros due to significant cost savings. France, buoyed by growth in retail services and major rationalization efforts, rose 0.4%, while Totem grew 5.4% and Orange Bank improved by 13 million euros.

The fourth quarter saw significant EBITDAaL growth (+8.5%), even excluding the base effect of the employee shareholding plan at the end of 2021 (+2.9%).

Cumulative net cost savings achieved from 2019⁵ to 31 December 2022 under the Scale Up operational efficiency program totaled 700 million euros, exceeding the 2022 target (600 million euros). Excluding additional costs related to inflation, the Group would have achieved the net savings target of 1 billion euros a year ahead of schedule.

These savings result mainly from changes in the workforce due to natural attrition, as well as the French part-time for seniors plans and the Group’s strict wage policy, along with ongoing optimization and rationalization efforts, primarily at headquarters and in support functions.

EBITDAaL from telecom activities was 13,080 million euros, up 2.4%.

Operating income

Group operating income was 4,801 million euros, compared with 2,521 million euros on a historical basis in 2021. The 2022 result benefited from the increase in EBITDAaL. It was also affected by the goodwill impairment in Romania and by an additional provision for the better-than-expected success of the French part-time for seniors plans, whereas 2021 had been adversely affected by goodwill impairment in Spain and the initial provision for the French part-time for seniors plans, and positively affected by the gain on disposal of 50% of the FiberCos in France and Poland.

Net income

Orange consolidated net income at 31 December 2022 totaled 2,617 million euros, compared with 778 million euros in 2021 on a historical basis. The increase was mainly due to growth in operating income.

eCAPEX

eCAPEX fell 0.7% to 7,371 million euros, in line with the 2022 target. The Group’s three main countries scaled back their investments in 2022 due to the slowdown in the roll out of fiber, particularly in France where deployment is at an advanced stage and eCAPEX declined 365 million euros. At the same time, investments in Africa & Middle East, which will drive future growth in this region, rose by 191 million euros.

The number of households connectable to FTTH reached 64.9 million (+14.8%) and the FTTH customer base increased to 13.7 million (+16%). In France and Poland, the customer bases grew by 20.6% and 23.9%, respectively.

Organic cash flow

Organic cash flow from Telecom activities at 31 December 2022 amounted to 3,058 million euros, in line with the target of at least 2.9 billion euros. The increase of 657 million euros was mainly due to the improvement in EBITDAaL and the reduction in eCAPEX.

Changes in the asset portfolio

On 8 November 2022, Orange acquired 100% of the capital of SCRT and Telsys, two Swiss companies offering cybersecurity services and IT solutions management. As a result of these acquisitions, Orange Cyberdefense now operates in nine European countries.

Net financial debt

Net debt stood at 25.3 billion euros at 31 December 2022, an increase of 1 billion euros compared with 2021. This was mainly due to the payment for 5G licenses in Belgium and Romania and 4G licenses in Egypt, and the redemption of a hybrid bond for 426 million pounds sterling in November.

The ratio of net financial debt to EBITDAaL from telecom activities stood at 1.93x at 31 December 2022, in line with the medium-term target of around 2x.

The telecoms activities’ strong liquidity position of 16.7 billion euros remains an important asset, particularly in the current economic environment.

Solid commercial performance and increased EBITDAaL

France continued to post solid commercial performances in the fourth quarter. In fiber, it achieved 339,000 net additions during the quarter, bringing the total to 7.2 million customers at 31 December 2022 (compared with 5.9 million at the end of 2021).

In mobile, Orange France recorded net additions excluding M2M of 144,000 in the fourth quarter and 581,000 for the whole of 2022, thereby achieving its best annual performance since 2017. The churn rate is at a historically low level.

Convergent ARPO continued to rise (+2.0%), largely due to the success of the “Max” offer and the penetration of fiber and 5G. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) in mainland France was six points higher than in 2021.

The fourth-quarter financial results reflect this strong operating performance. Revenue increased slightly (0.1%), buoyed by retail services, which grew 2.4% excluding STN⁶ and offset the decline in wholesale services.

In 2022, EBITDAaL rose 0.4% compared with 2021, resulting in a 0.5-point increase in the EBITDAaL margin to 37%. The improvement in profitability is the result of significant cost reduction efforts, with France being the main contributor to the Scale Up operational efficiency program.

Lastly, eCAPEX decreased by almost 10% in 2022 due to the advanced stage of fiber deployment in France, where 33.5 million households are now connectable, and due to the slower pace of customer connections compared with 2021.

Against the backdrop of inflation, which will weigh more heavily in 2023, France has already introduced measures to bolster its operating profitability while continuing to reduce eCAPEX. Orange is participating in the ongoing price increases in the French market and will continue to reduce costs.

EBITDAaL growth driven by Retail Services

Revenues in Europe continued to increase in the fourth quarter after returning to growth in the third quarter. Retail services rose 2.9%, again driven by convergence, the B2B market and the resumption of customer roaming, as well as from price increases achieved in all countries in the segment. The decline in revenue from wholesale services mainly reflects the regulatory reduction in call termination rates.

EBITDAaL growth was 1.6% in 2022, after accelerating to 2.6% in the second half (versus 0.6% in the first half). This growth was mainly due to the recovery of roaming, price increases and strict cost discipline to offset inflation. Excluding Spain, European countries performed exceptionally well rising 5.8%. Price increases gradually introduced throughout the year helped to limit the effects of inflation in 2022 and are expected to fully offset the impact of inflation (including energy) in 2023.

In Spain, the return to growth is confirmed with a further increase in revenue in the fourth quarter (+2.3%, compared with +0.2% in the third quarter). The stabilization of retail services over the quarter is due to the improved churn rate and the increase in convergent ARPO (+2.0%). For the full year, Spain's revenues remained down, falling 1.5% compared with -4.7% in 2021.

The improving trend in EBITDAaL has continued each half (-9% in 2H 2021, -6.7% in 1H 2022, -1.5% in 2H 2022). For 2022 as a whole, EBITDAaL declined 4.0%. This performance results from the recovery plan initiated in 2020, involving the transformation of B2B activities and an ongoing effort to reduce costs. In 2022, it enabled the EBITDAaL – eCAPEX indicator and organic cash flow to return to growth, confirming Orange Spain’s objective of a return to strong EBITDAaL growth in 2023.

Double-digit growth in EBITDAaL

Africa & Middle East revenue rose 5.7% in the fourth quarter, again fueled by its growth engines (mobile data +18%, fixed broadband +20% and B2B +16%).

The mobile customer base grew 6% to reach 143 million at the end of 2022. This includes 53 million 4G customers, an increase of 19%. Orange Money’s active customer base grew 16% to 29 million, while the fixed broadband customer base reached 2.8 million, an increase of 24%.

Orange Money generated annual revenue of 461 million euros and returned to growth in the fourth quarter (+5.7%) due to the swift and decisive implementation of the response plan, which resulted in an increase in the value of transactions to a record 100 billion euros in 2022.

Year on year, EBITDAaL grew 11.3%, continuing to outpace revenue growth owing to tight control over indirect costs. As a result, the EBITDAaL margin rose 1.6 points to over 37%.

Slower decline in EBITDAaL in the second half. Recovery plan for Orange Business Services to be accelerated

Enterprise revenue grew slightly both in the fourth quarter and year on year thanks to growth in IT & Integration and mobile services, which offset the decline in legacy activities. With full-year revenue of 977 million euros, Orange Cyberdefense almost reached its target of 1 billion euros a year ahead of schedule.

For 2022 as a whole, EBITDAaL fell sharply as the decline in Voice and Data services gathered pace, without being offset by growth drivers with lower margins. The decline was less marked in the second half than in the first (-12.5% in 2H, compared with -25.3% in 1H) in part due to the employee shareholding program, which had a negative impact on EBITDAaL in the second half of 2021. Excluding this base effect, EBITDAaL would have fallen 17% in the second half of 2022.

The recovery plan for Orange Business Services is a priority for the Group.

Robust revenue growth

At the end of 2022, Totem had 19,500 sites in France (a year-on-year increase of 400) and 7,600 sites in Spain (a year-on-year decrease of 100 due to the decommissioning plan under the network sharing agreement with Vodafone).

In 2022, revenue grew 15% and EBITDAaL rose 5.4%, despite the installation costs of the new entity.

After signing an agreement with Telefonica for the roll-out of 5G in Spain and winning the tender for the network roll-out on the 15 South line of the Grand Paris subway, Totem confirmed its good commercial momentum in the fourth quarter by signing an agreement with Iliad in France. External hosting revenue thus increased by more than 10% in 2022, while the tenancy ratio reached 1.37 tenants per site at the end of 2022, the first step toward meeting the target of 1.5 by 2026.

Revenues from International Carriers and Shared Services rose 2.7% in the fourth quarter. International wholesale services were stable for the 12-month period, with the decline in voice services being offset by other services and the recovery of roaming.

Over the year as a whole, the decline in EBITDAaL was significantly reduced due to increased revenues and reduced expenses principally related to the optimization of real estate portfolio. In addition, the 2021 fiscal year had been affected by the 2021 employee shareholding program.

Mobile Financial Services

Operating Income						(200)	(10.0)%	(10.0)%
eCAPEX						35	48.0 %	48.0 %

Net banking income (NBI) from Mobile Financial Services increased 6% in 2022 to 115 million euros. This was driven by Dolphin offers in Spain, the growth in accounts and lending (including the new express loan) in France and the launch of new offers (consumer credit and microcredit) in Africa.

At the end of 2022, Mobile Financial Services had 2 million customers in Europe and 1.1 million customers in Africa.

EBITDAaL improved by 13 million euros year on year while operating income fell 10%, mainly due to asset impairment following the deterioration of the business plan in a challenging economic climate.

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.

EBITDAaL or “EBITDA after Leases”: operating income (i) before depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, effects resulting from business combinations, reclassification of cumulative translation adjustment from liquidated entities, 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 labour expenses, fixed assets, investments and businesses portfolio review, restructuring programs costs, acquisition and integration costs and, where appropriate, other specific elements.

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 effect of 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.

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).

Performance indicators

Fixed retail accesses: number of fixed broadband accesses (xDSL (ADSL and VDSL), FTTx, cable, Fixed-4G (fLTE) and other broadband accesses (satellite, Wimax and others)) and fixed narrowband accesses (mainly PSTN) and payphones.

Convergent ARPO: average quarterly revenues per convergent offer (ARPO) calculated by dividing revenues from retail Convergent services offers invoiced to B2C customers generated over the past three months (excluding IFRS 15 adjustments) by the weighted average number of retail Convergent offers over the same period. ARPO is expressed by monthly revenues per convergent offer.

Mobile-only services
