Orange has released its financial report for the third quarter, posting solid revenue growth propelled primarily by strong consistent performance across its operations in Africa and the Middle East.
French telecommunications giant Orange has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, posting a 3.6% year-on-year increase in total group revenue to reach €12.2 billion.
The steady financial performance, paired with a 4.6% rise in core operating profitability (EBITDAaL) to €4.1 billion, has prompted the company to upgrade its full-year profit growth targets.
The quarter’s success was largely anchored by robust performance across international markets outside of France.
Africa and the Middle East emerged as the group’s primary growth engine, recording an impressive 14.2% jump in quarterly revenue to reach €2.4 billion. Meanwhile, solid gains were also registered in European markets, including Poland, Spain and other regional segments, offsetting much slower growth in the company’s domestic French market.

Reflecting confidence in its ongoing financial momentum, Orange raised its full-year core earnings (EBITDAaL) growth target from above 4% to over 4.5%.
To share these positive results with investors, the company’s board confirmed an upcoming interim cash dividend of €0.30 per share, scheduled for payout in December 2026, reinforcing its strong cash generation capabilities and long-term value strategy.
