Pursuant to Article 17(1) of the Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (market abuse regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC, the Management Board of Orange Polska S.A. hereby provides selected financial and operating data related to the activities of the Orange Polska Capital Group ("the Group", "Orange Polska") for 2Q and 1H 2025.

Orange Polska reports solid commercial and financial results in 2Q 2025

Key highlights of 2Q/1H 2025:

➢ Solid financial results:

  • With 2Q revenues at PLN 3,158 million, +1.1% yoy fuelled by robust growth of core telecom services (+6.8% yoy), and 2Q EBITDAaL at PLN 891 million, +4.3% yoy driven by direct margin
  • 1H net profit at PLN 465 million, +1.5% yoy as EBITDAaL growth is largely offset by lower proceeds from real estate disposals (timing)
  • 1H eCapex at PLN 799 million, +19% yoy, mainly due to different timing of real estate disposals
  • 1H Organic Cash Flow at PLN 344 million, -16% yoy, as higher operating cash flow was offset by timing of capex and proceeds from real estate disposals. Strong cash generation in 2Q.

➢ Good commercial momentum:

▪ As demonstrated by very solid growth of customer bases of all key telecom services, especially in mobile handset category (where net customer additions of 86 thousand were the highest in many quarters) and strong growth of ARPO in convergence and fixed broadband-only offers

➢ Full-year guidance confirmed1

1 1 Following the sale of the Orange Energia subsidiary in June 2025, the year 2024 comparable base for revenue growth and EBITDAaL in 2025 has changed. The new comparable base excludes Orange Energia's second half 2024 results and amounts to PLN 12,587 million for revenue and PLN 3,338 million for EBITDAaL.

Commenting on 2Q 2025 performance, Liudmila Climoc, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"Our second quarter results reflect solid commercial performance, especially on the consumer market. Customer bases across all our key telecom services maintained their healthy pace of growth as we are coping well with a demanding competitive environment. We are benefitting from our geomarketing approach, wide portfolio of brands and personalised, AI-enabled offering that helps us strengthen customer loyalty. ARPO in convergent and fixed broadband-only offers maintained a strong 4-5% year-on-year growth rate driven by an expanding fibre customer base, content upselling and higher speed options. Slowdown in mobile-only ARPO reflects solid growth in B2C and intensive competition in B2B.

Our FiberCo JV, Światłowód Inwestycje, is successfully completing its investment programme initiated in 2021. We are proud to launch its new fibre rollout plan through 2032, marking a significant milestone in our strategy to expand our fibre coverage to 12 million households by 2028 and to strengthen our leadership in fixed network infrastructure. Through our Lead the Future strategy we are committed to delivering the best connectivity experience to our customers, on both fixed fibre and mobile. On the mobile front, 5G network expansion progresses on track. We have reached nearly 50% population coverage on the C-band spectrum and have just launched the first base stations on our newly acquired 700MHz spectrum.

In the second part of the year our focus will be on maintaining good commercial momentum, preparing plenty of attractive offers for our customers in the upcoming peak seasons. We are working on a progressive turnaround of our B2B activities, with better prospects for our IT&IS project pipeline in 2H as well as being well positioned to benefit in this area from future increases in defence industry spending."

Results Review

2Q revenue +1.1% yoy driven by strong performance of core telecom services

Revenues totalled PLN 3,158 million in 2Q 2025 and were higher by PLN 35 million year-on-year (+1.1%). Core telecom services (combined revenues of convergence, mobile-only and broadband-only) advanced by a robust 6.8% year-on-year, maintaining their high dynamics as we benefit from the expansion of customer bases and ARPO. This growth was partly offset by three factors. Firstly, IT&IS revenues declined by 1% year-on-year as the growth of ICT revenues was offset by a high comparable base for SMS bulk services that we render for B2B customers. Secondly, equipment revenues, mainly from handsets, decreased by 8% year-on-year, reflecting lower market demand due to a longer handset replacement cycle among customers. Finally, other revenues decreased by 25%, due to energy resale, mainly as a result of lower volumes of energy sold.

2Q commercial performance sustained good balance between volume and value growth

KPI ('000) 2Q 2025 2Q 2024 Change
convergent customers (B2C) 1,822 1,738 +4.8%
mobile accesses (SIM cards) 19,135 17,939 +6.7%
post-paid 14,870 13,580 +9.5%
o/w mobile handset 9,357 9,061 +3.3%
pre-paid 4,265 4,358 -2.1%
fixed broadband accesses (retail) 2,913 2,849 +2.2%
o/w fibre 1,642 1,450 +13.3%
KPI (PLN) 2Q 2025 2Q 2024 Change
convergent ARPO 128.9 123.3 +4.5%
mobile handset-only ARPO 29.8 29.8 unch.
fixed broadband-only ARPO 69.2 66.0 +5.0%

In 2Q 2025 we continued to successfully combine solid growth of customer volumes in all key services with improving average revenue that they generate (ARPO).

B2C convergent customer base increased by 21 thousand or 5% year-on-year. ARPO from convergent customers maintained solid dynamics growing by 4.5% year-on-year to PLN 128.9 owing to our value strategy, good demand for content and higher speed fibre offers.

Total fixed broadband customer base expanded by 16 thousand or 2% year-on-year. Fibre customers base expanded by 38 thousand or 13% year-on-year. Already 56% of our broadband customer base uses fibre. The legacy copper broadband technologies customer base continued to decrease and was lower by 29 thousand versus previous quarter. ARPO from broadband-only services stood at PLN 69.2 and grew by 5.0% year-on-year benefitting from our value strategy and growing share of fibre customers (fibre generates higher ARPO versus other technologies).

Mobile handset customer base increased 86 thousand or 3% year-on-year. This strong growth was fuelled by all our B2C brands and offers and B2B. Mobile-only handset ARPO stood at PLN 29.8 and was flat yearon-year. Slowdown in the mobile-only ARPO growth reflects more than 4% year-on-year growth in the ARPO of the main Orange brand on the consumer market which was offset by a decline in B2B (owing to intensified competition) and growing share of Nju and Flex customers in the mobile-only customer base.

Pre-paid customer base increased 4 thousand in 2Q alone but decreased 2% year-on-year. ARPO from pre-paid offers stood at PLN 16.7 growing 14% year-on-year as a result of our value strategy.

In PSTN fixed voice, net loss of lines stood at 26 thousand, a similar level to previous quarters reflecting structural market shift.

2Q EBITDAaL +4.3% yoy driven by strong growth of margin from core business

EBITDAaL for 2Q 2025 was PLN 891 million and was up 4.3% year-on-year or PLN 37 million. Growth was driven by direct margin (a difference between revenues and direct costs) which increased by 1.8% year-onyear (or PLN 32 million) as a result of strong revenue growth of high-margin core telecom services offsetting declines in equipment and IT&IS. Indirect costs were lower by 0.6% year-on-year (or PLN 5 million). Their evolution included PLN 32 million year-on-year higher additional margin on network rollout contract for FiberCo. Excluding this factor, indirect costs reflected higher labour costs (resulting from salary increases), higher outlays for advertising & promotion (phasing between quarters) and positive impact of cost transformation.

1H net income reflects growing EBITDAaL, timing of real estate sales and gain on sale of Orange Energia

Net income for 1H 2025 was at PLN 465 million and was up 1.5% year-on-year (or PLN 7 million) as EBITDAaL solid growth was offset by lower gain on sale of our real estate and higher depreciation. Gain on sale of real estate was PLN 45 million lower year-on-year due to different timing of transactions between the years. Net income in 1H also reflected an estimated gain of PLN 71 million generated on sale of Orange Energia subsidiary and PLN 55 million higher year-on-year provisions related to the costs of significant risks, employment termination programmes and reorganisation.

1H Organic Cash Flow reflects strong operating cash and timing of capex & proceeds from real estate sales

Organic cash flow for 1H 2025 came at a PLN 344 million, down 16% year-on-year (or PLN 67 million). Cash flow provided by operating activities was PLN 172 million higher year-on-year supported by EBITDAaL growth and much lower working capital requirement. It was offset however by timing of capex and real estate disposals. Cash capex was PLN 153 million higher year-on-year in 1H as a result of different phasing of investments between the years. Proceeds from real estate disposal were at PLN 28 million in 1H 2025 versus a very high level of PLN 132 million generated in 1H 2024.

Commenting on 2Q 2025 results, Jacek Kunicki, Chief Financial Officer, said:

"I am pleased with our financial performance in 2Q. We maintained a robust 6.8% yoy dynamic of revenues from our core telecom services. These high-margin revenues constitute a key element of our profit generation and fuelled a strong 4.3% yoy growth of EBITDAaL in the second quarter. EBITDAaL also benefitted from recognition of additional margin on network rollout for our FiberCo JV, which became possible as we advanced towards finalisation of this contract and have signed a new investment plan for 0.7m households connectable.

I am pleased that we achieved a satisfactory sale of our energy trading activity. It confirms our focus on core business as we execute Lead the Future strategy and secures the best possible future for Orange Energia. Our 2Q net profit was supported by a gain of PLN 71 million on this sale.

We have improved cash generation in 2Q driven by strong operating activity. We are also determined to generate solid organic cash flow in the second half of the year. In Lead the Future we are more focused than ever on the return metrics that drive shareholder value creation.

Following first half results we reiterate our full-year guidance."
