We are thrilled to share the full results of 2024, reflecting our unwavering commitment to providing the best telecom offers on the Belgian market. Our recent initiatives, including our Netflix partnership and the launch of our new portfolios, have been warmly received by our customers. These efforts underscore our dedication to enhancing the customer experience and staying ahead in a competitive market.

Antoine Chouc, Chief Financial Officer, stated:

Our financial results for 2024 demonstrate our robust performance and strategic execution in a competitive market environment. Our focus on operational efficiency, synergies delivery and strategic investments has enabled us to achieve solid financial outcomes.

Our revenue for the year reached almost 2 billion euros, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 1.7% driven by the retail service revenues growth (+3.1% year-on-year).

We posted an outstanding 10.1% EBITDAaL growth for 2024 and exceeded our initial guidance. This performance was made possible thanks to an overachievement of our synergies ambitions following the acquisition of VOO demonstrating our success in integrating both companies. These synergies are crucial for maintaining our competitive edge and ensuring longterm sustainability.

eCapex totalled €368 million, reflecting our continued investment in superior technology. We are on track with the implementation of the RAN sharing program. We pursued the modernization of the HFC network to have Gigabit coverage, especially in rural areas thanks to subsidies and we started our FTTH journey.

On the same date, the BIPT announced that the National Competition Authority (ABC-BMA) will examine this agreement in close cooperation with the BIPT, and that, in case the agreement meets the requirements of the BIPT and ABC-BMA, further regulation of the geographical zone which is covered by the agreement will probably no longer be required. This investigation is still ongoing. In its draft workplan for 2025, the BIPT aims at launching a consultation of an updated broadband and TV-distribution market analysis in Q4 2025.

2.3 Liquidity and capital resources

The Group uses Adjusted Operating cash flow and Organic cash flow as the main metrics for analysing cash generation. Adjusted Operating cash flow is defined as EBITDAaL less eCapex.

Organic cash flow measures the net cash provided by operating activities less eCapex and the repayment of lease liabilities, increased by proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and adjusted for the payments for acquisition of telecommunications licences.

Organic cash flow from telecom activities corresponds to net cash provided by operating activities minus (i) lease liabilities repayments and debts related to financed assets repayments, (ii) purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets net of the change in fixed assets payables, (iii) excluding effect of telecommunications licences paid and excluding effect of significant litigations paid (and received).

3. Financial risks and risk management

There were no changes to the information disclosed in the 2023 annual report.

4. Disputes

▪ Telecom masts

Since 1997, certain municipalities and provinces have adopted local taxes, on an annual basis, on pylons, masts or antennas erected within their boundaries. Orange Belgium continues to file fiscal objections against tax assessment notices received concerning these taxes. These taxes are currently being contested in Civil Courts (Courts of First Instance - Tax Chamber and Courts of Appeal).

On June 6, 2024, the Walloon government and the mobile operators Proximus, Telenet, Orange Belgium, and Insky signed an agreement regarding the tax on pylons in the Walloon region for the period 2023-2026, extendable to 2027 if agreed by all parties. The operators commit to paying, as a sector, €2.5 million for 2023 and €6 million per year in 2024, 2025, and 2026 to the Walloon region. Local taxes, which municipalities and provinces may levy during these years, are deductible up to certain annual ceilings.

The allocation key, to determine the share of these annual amounts to be borne by each operator, is determined annually by the mobile operators based on a mutual agreement, according to the number of pylons and masts owned by each operator and the presence of each operator on sites in the Walloon territory. For 2023, the allocation key for Orange Belgium is 37.24%, for 2024 34.74%.

Between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2026, Orange Belgium will also invest an additional amount of €15 million in telecommunications infrastructure in the Walloon region.

There is an agreement not to establish Walloon regional taxes on telecommunications infrastructure during the period 2023- 2026. Moreover, municipalities and provinces will be discouraged from imposing taxes on telecommunications infrastructure during 2023-2026.

▪ Access to Coditel Brabant (Telenet) 's cable network

After Orange Belgium paid the provision for the cable wholesale access set-up fees, Coditel Brabant (Telenet) failed to provide such access within the regulatory 6-month period. This, in combination to the lack of progress on the development of an effective wholesale service, prompted Orange Belgium to initiate legal action against Coditel/Telenet for breach of its regulatory obligations end of December 2016. As the implementation of a technical solution was still ongoing beginning 2018, the proceedings were put on hold. The case was reactivated and Telenet submitted briefs on 6 March 2020. Hearings took place in October 2021 and on 8 December 2021 the court decided that Telenet committed a fault because it did not respect the regulation on granting Orange Belgium access to its network. The expert filed his report and his fees on 18 November 2022. Following the hearing on the procedural aspects of 18 September 2023, the Court decided to schedule the hearing on the substance on 30 September 2024 and 7 October 2024. It is expected the case will be closed Q1 2025.

5. Significant event after the end of the second semester of 2024

Following a consultation mid-2024, the BIPT decided on 7th Jan 2025 to prolong the 2.6 GHz licenses for Orange Belgium, Proximus, Citymesh Air and Telenet Group. The usage rights of Orange Belgium of 2x20 MHz in this band are extended from mid-2027 until 30th June 2032 for a unique license fee of 6.667.200 €, due in July 2027.

6. Shareholder remuneration

The Orange Belgium Group aims to balance the appropriate cash returns to equity holders maintaining a balanced and sound financial position, while leaving sufficient leeway to continue to invest in its convergent strategy, the expansion of its network and other growth opportunities. Orange Belgium's Board of Directors will not propose a dividend for the financial year 2024 to preserve cash for future capital requirements.

7. Outlook

The Company targets an EBITDAaL between €545m and €565m. Total eCapex in 2025 is expected to be between €365m and €385m.
