Orange Romania in H1 2025: Revenue dip amidst strong investment

Business Forum
Orange Romania recorded a consolidated turnover of €684 million in H1 2025, a 2.1% decrease compared to the same period last year. At the end of this period, the operator served over 9 million mobile customers, more than 1 million fixed broadband internet customers, and over 1 million cable and satellite television customers.

During H1, Orange continued its plans to expand and improve its mobile and fixed networks. Investments are set to exceed €200 million by the end of 2025, maintaining the same pace as before, despite economic pressures and significant imbalances in the telecommunications market. 

As of the end of June 2025, the 5G/5G+ network is available in 58 cities, with transfer speeds reaching up to 1.5 Gbps.

Julien Ducarroz, CEO of Orange Romania, said: "In an extremely competitive market, marked by imbalances and financial challenges, we are making every effort to remain consistent. Alongside quality services, we offer a lot of flexibility, which is, in fact, the expectation of most customers. We have built an adaptable commercial offer that covers a wide range of needs, both in the residential and business segments. And this would not have been possible without constant investments in quality networks."

Orange Business registered a 9.8% increase in IT&C services in the first semester of 2025, compared to the same period last year.

Orange Business also reported growing revenues from equipment sales – over 31% in H1 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

In parallel, the operator's main IT & Cloud service (Flexible Computing) saw a 33% increase, and unified communications and collaboration (UCC) services recorded a revenue increase of over 15% compared to H1 2024.
