Nicolas Cote-Colisson's questions to Orange SA (FNCTF) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
In a follow-up, Nicolas Cote-Colisson asked about the size of the business opportunity for the new 5G+ offers at Orange Business. He also requested the expected EBITDAaL loss from Orange Bank for the remainder of the year and its wind-down timeline.
Answer
CEO Christel Heydemann responded that it is still early to comment on the pickup of the 5G+ offers, though some contracts have been won with industrial customers. Executive Laurent Martinez stated that for Orange Bank, a meaningful improvement in EBITDAaL loss is expected for the full year 2025 compared to the prior year's loss. He confirmed the plan is to close the bank by the end of 2025, with any 2026 impact being marginal.
