Our first half-year performance reflects the resilience and agility of Orange Belgium amidst a challenging competitive market environment. Despite this, our performance was supported by strong net adds, particularly in the B2C segment driven by the success of our mobile portfolio and targeted promotional campaigns.
On the B2B side we are leveraging the collective expertise of our different Orange entities present in Belgium to provide a unique unified go-to-market approach for SMEs, multinational corporations, and public organizations—another milestone in our 'Lead the Future' strategy.
As part of our 'Lead the Future' strategy, we continue to invest in our fixed network, reinforcing our leadership position through the modernization of our infrastructure. Our deployment of next-generation technologies and collaborations with industry leaders, ensures we are well-positioned to meet future connectivity demands and deliver high-capacity broadband solutions.
We posted robust EBITDAaL growth for the first half of the year, driven by higher-than-expected synergies following the acquisition of VOO and the successful execution of our transformation initiatives as part of our 'Lead the Future' strategy.
The slight increase in eCAPEX is aligned with the implementation of our RAN-sharing program, that brings significant benefits, and the modernisation of our fixed network.
Given this solid H1 and an expected better revenue trend in H2, we expect to be within the higher range of our EBITDAaL guidance between €545m and €565m for 2025. We remain committed to maintaining disciplined capital expenditure and leveraging operational efficiencies.

• Orange unifies its sales front and significantly strengthens its connectivity, cloud, AI and cybersecurity product and service offering t o conquer leadership in t he Belgian B2B market
Orange has launched a leading B2B solution on the Belgian high-end market. The collective expertise of Orange Belgium, Orange Business, Orange Business Digital Services, and Orange Cyberdefense is combined to create a powerful synergy that no other telco player in Belgium can offer to SMEs, (multi) national corporates, and public organizations. This marks another milestone in the 'Lead the Future' strategy, providing a unique B2B value proposition for present and future ICT, connectivity, and cybersecurity needs.
On March 14th and 15th, Orange Belgium's brand hey! organized a hackathon dedicated to artificial intelligence at BeCentral in the heart of Brussels. Over two intensive days, more than 90 students, divided into ten teams, worked on five technologica l challenges aimed at imagining the AI solutions of tomorrow for hey! and Orange Belgium. Team 5 won this edition, impressing the jury with their well-executed project on an Intelligent Virtual Assistant designed to enhance hey! telecom offers. Their victory grants them a personality test with a personalized debriefing session, along with a specialized workshop at Google and Amazon.
Building on its current deployment of DOCSIS 3.1 technology to deliver 1 Gbps Orange Belgium is now upgrading its HFC network to Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). This transformation, which spans at least 34% of its Wallonia and Brussels footprint, is powered by partnerships with Teleste, Commscope, and Nokia. DAA represents a significant evolution in Hybrid Fiber networks by decentralizing and virtualizing headend and network functions. Leveraging the ubiquity of optical ethernet transport, it establishes the foundation for 10 Gbps technologies.
On 26 July 2024, Wyre and Proximus, together with Telenet and Fiberklaar, announced that they signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with a view to a potential future collaboration regarding fixed networks in a large part of Flanders. 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.
Following a consultation mid 2024, the BIPT decided on Jan 7, 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 June 30, 2032 for a unique license fee of 6.667.200 €, due in July 2027.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2025 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 July 2025.
This report should be read in conjunction with Orange Belgium's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in million euros except when otherwise indicated. The Group's functional and presentation currency is the euro. Each entity applies this currency for its financial statements. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Orange Belgium Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months period ended 30 June 2025 have remained unchanged compared to those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. They should be read in conjunction with Orange Belgium's annual consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024 since they do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements.
In the preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements , Orange Belgium's management is required to make estimates insofar as many elements included in these consolidated financial statements cannot be measured with precision. The underlying assumptions used for the main estimates are similar to those described in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Management revises these estimates if the underlying circumstances evolve or in light of new information or experience. Consequently, estimates made on 30 June 2025 may subsequently be changed.
Management also uses its judgment to define appropriate accounting policies to apply to certain transactions when the current IFRS standards and interpretations do not specifically deal with the related accounting issues.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
• IAS 21 Amendment – Lack of Convert ibilit y: The amendment to the standard clarifies the circumstances under which a currency is considered convertible and provides guidance on how to determine the exchange rate when convertibility is lacking.
These amendments did not have any impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Orange Belgium Group on 30 June 2025.
The consolidation perimeter has not changed during the first half year of 2025.
Consistent with last year, the Consolidation perimeter further includes IRISnet SCRL (accounted for by equity method – 28.16%). MWingz S.R.L. (accounted for as a joint operation) and the following wholly owned companies: Orange Belgium S.A., Orange Communications Luxembourg S.A., Smart Services Network S.A., Walcom Business Solutions S.A., A&S Partners S.A., VOO S.A., WBCC S.A. and BeTV S.A..
Orange Belgium holds, directly or indirectly (e.g. through other subsidiaries) less than 20% of the voting power of Belgian Mobile Wallet and CommuniThings. As such, Orange Belgium does not have significant influence. Moreover, generating surplus value is not the main purpose of these two investments.
During the first half of 2025, no changes occurred to the goodwill. The purchase price allocation related to the VOO acquisition was accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024 and is considered as final.
For the most part, the goodwill relates to the VOO acquisition (684.1 million euros) and Orange Luxembourg (50.9 million euros).
As of 30 June 2025, there were no internal or external indicators that further impairment tests on goodwill should be performed.
Management continues to pay attention to any indication that could require an anticipated review of the values. These tests are planned to be performed for the year-end closing.
Other intangible assets consist essentially of telecommunication licenses, subscriber bases, software & internally generated intangible assets. The balance as per 30 June 2025 decreases with 26.8 million euros versus 31 December 2024 essentially due to the amortization expense of the year.
Property, plant and equipment consist for the most part of network related investments, land & buildings and IT equipment. The balance as of 30 June 2025 decreased by 5.4 million euros compared to 31 December 2025 mainly due to regular additions & depreciation.
Right-of-use assets relates for the most part to land & buildings. The increase versus year-end 2024 is for the most part the result of the combined effect of 7.8 million euros in additions and 15.9 million euros in depreciation.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, short-term cash deposits and intercompany cash pooling. Bank and intercompany cash pooling overdrafts are classified as short-term financial liabilities. The cash flow statement provides an explanation to the 26.2 million euros decrease in net financial debt for the first half of 2025.

Apart from continued reduction of the third party financing, no significant changes occurred in the financing of Orange Belgium Group.
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 15 May 2025 decided not to distribute any dividend for the 2024 financial year.
All ordinary shares are fully paid and have a par value of €2.197.

The operating taxes and levies payables amounted to 163.3 million euros as of 30 June 2025 versus 150.6 million euros at year-end 2024 and consists for the main part of the pylon tax accrual (112.9 million euros) and of VAT payable (39.5 million euros).
The increase versus year-end 2024 of 12.7 million euros is caused by the 2025 expense for pylon taxes.
In the course of its activities, the Group regularly enters into leases as a lessee. The leases concern mainly the following asset categories:
During the first half year of 2025, the balance decreased essentially due to the dismantling of sites via MWINGZ.
Non-current derivates liabilities amounts to 18.4 million euros and correspond to the fair value of financial derivatives instruments set in place in the context of the interest hedging strategy.
Provisions for network site decreased slightly since end of December 2024 from 59.8 million euros to 58 million euros as per June 30, 2025.
During the first half of 2025, the average dismantling cost per site used on 30 June 2025 were 11.6 thousand euros till 2026 and 18.4 thousand euros as from 2026 (respectively 11.1 thousand euros and 17.7 thousand euros at 31 December 2024).
Although size and installation on site may slightly vary from site to site. the provision is calculated on an average dismantling cost which is based on the actual costs incurred in the past for similar activities.
Proximus and Orange Belgium installed a collaboration to develop the mobile access network of the future by sharing active and passive equipment of the Radio Access Network (RAN). MWingz is the joint venture that has been created to plan , build and operate the common grid. A dismantling plan has been deployed originally for the coming three years to dismantle the affected sites in order to achieve the target grid of sites to be managed by MWingz. The dismantling plan is reviewed on a regular basis to adjust actual plans to economic circumstances. These dismantling transactions also have an impact on the depreciations of network equipment and installations impacted by the reduction of useful life of the sites. The adjustment of the depreciation is applied prospectively and results in an increased depreciation of 7.4 million euros on the results of the first half year 2025 (11.6 million euros for the first half of 2024).

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 and 2025 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.
A new version "24 April 2025" of this Walloon Protocol Agreement 2023-2026 has been signed. The principles described here above remain completely the same, it only concerns the adjustment of some modalities of payment.
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 Q3 2025.
The terms and conditions applied to sales and purchases of traffic and services , to the centralized treasury management agreement, to the revolving credit facility agreements as well as to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings are determined at arm's length basis according to the normal market prices and conditions. There is no outstanding guarantee provided to or received from any related parties at the balance sheet date. No allowance for doubtful debtors on amounts owed by related parties is outstanding at the balance sheet date.

Brussels, 24 July 2025
CEO CFO
Xavier Pichon Antoine Chouc
In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the consolidated interim financial information. This consolidated interim financial information comprises the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period of six months then ended, as well as selective notes 9 to 12.
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information of Orange Belgium SA/NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financia l Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
The interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position shows total assets of 4 036 million EUR and the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income shows a net profit for the period then ended of 3 million EUR.
The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information of Orange Belgium SA/NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
Signed at Zaventem.
The statutory auditor
