It has been a transformative moment for Orange Belgium as we advance our new strategic vision: Trust the future. Building on the success of our previous 'Lead the Future' strategy, this new approach underscores our commitment to fostering trust through customer intimacy, innovative growth, and excellence at scale.

Orange Belgium’s mobile network has been recognized by Ookla® as the fastest 5G in Belgium. Regarding fixed networks the 'Last Mile' program has successfully been completed bringing Gigabit connectivity over 50,000 additional households and businesses in Wallonia through Orange’s Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial network. Orange NetCo, the wholly owned subsidiary of Orange Belgium responsible for managing fixed networks and commercializing access to any operators, also elaborated with Proximus advanced versions of the key definitive agreements structuring the forthcoming cooperation. These documents follow the Memorandum of Understanding concluded on July 24, 2025, and aim to expand the deployment of fiber and the access to gigabit in Wallonia. They have been shared with the Belgian Competition Authority and the Belgian Institute for Postal services and Telecommunications and will only be concluded once required regulatory clearances is obtained. Additionally Orange NetCo has notified wholesale customers of upcoming fiber services commercialization over its own open FTTP network.

Further, our brands continue to set benchmarks in consumer trust and satisfaction. hey! was named Brand of the Year 2026 by POY Belgium and received double 'Best of the Test' labels from consumer organization Testaankoop, reaffirming our position as a leader in customer experience and innovation.

As we look ahead, 'Trust the future' will guide us in levering trust to be the preferred digital partner.

In the first half of 2026 we experienced a notable growth across key financial and operational metrics. Our service revenues reached €792 million, reflecting a 0.7% increase compared to the previous year. This growth reflects our effective value management of the customer base.

This positive trend highlights the strength of our business model amid a challenging environment. Coupled with continuous focus on cost management, including synergies and operational efficiencies, our EBITDAaL improved significantly by more than 10%, reaching €293 million, supported by one-offs and seasonal effects.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing our strategic initiatives and we upgrade our guidance for 2026 in EBITDAaL where we foresee a growth above 5% and keep our eCAPEX at circa €360m.
