• Revenue +7.2% like-for-like, adjusted EBITDA margin at 42%
• Levered Free Cash Flow positive for the first time since IPO

• FY2027 targets: accelerating value-creating growth

Octave Klaba, Chairman and CEO of OVHcloud, said:

“Twelve months after my return, we have delivered on all of the targets we announced. Fourth-quarter revenue grew 10.5% on a like-for-like basis, and monthly revenue surpassed the €100 million milestone by the end of the fiscal year.

FY 2026 was a year of discipline. We managed our inventory and capex very closely while keeping operating costs under control. Customer acquisition and sales volumes were very strong across domain names, VPS and Bare Metal. Public Cloud revenue grew 20% in the fourth quarter. In response to rising RAM and storage prices, we made measured adjustments to our pricing. Our new sales organization, put in place during the year, will deliver its full impact from 2027.

We have redefined our AI strategy, and in 2027 we are moving into the deployment phase. In AI, our customers do not all have the same needs: our solutions serve several customer profiles, which limits the risk on our investments. We will continue to become more efficient. Simplifying the customer experience and regionalizing our Public Cloud offerings should allow us to accelerate our growth even further.
The Group has now returned to its fundamentals and is ready to shift into a higher gear.”

The Group has completed the recruitment of its new Chief Financial Officer, who will take up his position on December 1, 2026. As he currently holds a position elsewhere, he will be introduced upon his arrival. 

The Board of Directors of OVHcloud, which met on October 19, 2026, reviewed and approved the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026. The Statutory Auditors’ reports on the annual consolidated and company financial statements of OVH Groupe SA are in the process of being issued.

FY2026: a year of execution around structuring priorities

OVHcloud has refocused its customer approach
As the first step in a journey to make OVHcloud a resolutely customer-centric company, in all its departments, the Group has reorganised its sales teams around its three go-to-market segments, Digital Starters, Digital Scalers and Corporate, under renewed commercial leadership.

Revenue by "go to market" segment

Customer growth in the “Digital Starters” segment
The "Digital Starters" segment posted like-for-like growth of 5.4% to €563.9 million (49% of revenue), accelerating to +7.4% in Q4, supported by the increase in the number of customers. This momentum reflects the continued attractiveness of the offer to individuals, small businesses, developers and entrepreneurs, who find in OVHcloud competitive solutions to launch and develop their online business.

Targeted vertical approach in the “Digital Scalers” segment
The "Digital Scalers" segment benefited from strong like-for-like growth of 12.4% to €359.1 million (31% of revenue), thanks to a strategy focused on specialised verticals. This approach allows OVHcloud to better meet the specific needs of each customer segment and to develop additional sales to its existing customer base.

Strong H2 sales momentum in the “Corporates” segment
The "Corporates" segment which posted growth of +2.6% to €221.7 million (19% of revenue), benefited from a particularly dynamic second half of the year boosted by two drivers: the development of additional sales with the existing customer base, the success of the 3-AZ offering, which meets customers' standards.

The reorganization carried out during fiscal year 2026 will deliver its full effect in 2027. In parallel, we will also be reworking the support we provide to our customers. It will be better segmented and AI-assisted to improve both quality and response times. We will also clarify the market positioning of each of our brands: Kimsufi, SoyouStart, Gladia, OVH, OVHcloud and OVHai.

Assets secured for FY27
In response to rising component prices, the Group has secured the supply of components required to support its growth. Thanks to very precise management of our component inventory, we can adapt to customer demand within just a few days, which helps limit the cash tied up. Each investment also remains subject to strict financial discipline, with a focus on value creation.

With 250 MW of connected power capacity, of which 140 MW is in operation, the Group has headroom for growth without needing to build new sites. The group is also exploring various scenarios for changing how its infrastructure is structured, with a view to potential capacity expansions and the ramp-up of its GPU business.

Inflation passed on in an immediate and measured manner
The Group made targeted pricing adjustments based on a "mutualised pass-through" approach of the revaluation of the cost of components. The increase is applied to all  recent and newly ordered servers. The aim is to keep supporting our customers’ growing demand in an inflationary environment.

Committed redefinition of the AI strategy
The Group made three targeted acquisitions (bolt-on): Seald (January 2026), a specialist in end-to-end encryption, Dragon LLM (March 2026), a designer of specialised AI models for regulated industries, and Gladia (July 2026), a specialist in voice AI. 

The first result of these mergers - OVHai Workspace, an AI platform for businesses was unveiled at VivaTech in June 2026. The Group's AI strategy will also be detailed at the "AI Summit" on 19 November 2026.

Growth accelerated over the year, driven by the Public Cloud

OVHcloud’s revenue for FY2026 came in at €1,145.1 million, up +7.2% like-for-like (+5.6% reported), exceeding the target of 5 to 7%. 

Growth clearly accelerated in the second half of the year: +6.0% in the first quarter, +5.1% in the second, +6.9% in the third and +10.5% in the fourth, like-for-like. 

In the fourth quarter, quarterly revenue exceeded €300 million and monthly revenue exceeded the significant €100 million milestone.

The net revenue retention rate remains high at 103% (like-for-like), driven by low churn.

Revenue by product segment

In FY2026, the Private Cloud (60.3% of revenue) generated revenue of €690.4 million, up +4.5% on a like-for-like basis: 
•    The momentum strengthened significantly at the end of the year, with a like-for-like increase of +7.1% in the fourth quarter 
•    The Bare Metal Cloud benefited from the repositioning of its entry-level offers, which supported a strong acquisition of Digital Starters, and a sustained up-sell with Digital Scalers. OVHcloud thus consolidated its European leadership in Bare Metal.

In FY2026, Public Cloud (22.3% of revenue) accounted for revenue of €255.1 million, up +18.9% on a like-for-like basis. 
•    It returned to a pace above +20% in the fourth quarter, at +24.3% on a like-for-like basis.
•    As the main contributor to growth, Public Cloud benefits from strong cross-selling thanks to the expansion of its product portfolio, the traction of the 3-AZ regions, in particular the ramp-up of the 3-AZ region in Paris, and sustained customer acquisition. 

In FY2026, the Webcloud (17.4% of revenue) posted revenue of €199.7 million, up +3.2% like-for-like and +6.0% in like-for-like in the fourth quarter.
•    Domain name sales are reaching record daily volumes, driven in particular by demand linked to 
vibe coding and AI.
•    Webcloud offerings have been repositioned to make them accessible to a wider audience and to further accelerate growth.

Revenue by region

France accounted for 48% of total Group revenue, up +6.0% on a like-for-like basis, and +8.3% in the fourth quarter. The Public Cloud accelerated strongly and became the leading contributor to growth, thanks to the rise of the 3-AZ region of Paris, while Bare Metal posted a solid performance.

The other European countries accounted for 29% of total Group revenue, up +6.4% on a like-for-like basis, and +11.0% in the fourth quarter. Bare Metal accelerated in Southern Europe (+10.0%) and Northern Europe (+12.5%). 

The Rest of the World accounted for 23% of total Group revenue, up +10.7% on a like-for-like basis, and +14.7% in the fourth quarter. Growth is driven by the Public Cloud, up more than 20%, with solid traction in the US.

Strong growth in adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBITDA reached €480.5 million, a margin of 42%, up sharply by 1.6 pts
Adjusted EBITDA grew by +9.7% on a reported basis, almost twice as fast as revenue. The 70% ratio of additional revenue converted into EBITDA nevertheless remains exceptional.
 
The 1.6-point increase in EBITDA margin demonstrates OVHcloud’s ability to operate at scale, driven by strong productivity across all levels of the company.

Operating results (EBIT) of €77.8 million, i.e. a margin of 6.8%
Operating results include depreciation, amortisation expenses of €(378.3) million, up €23.9 million, reflecting the commissioning of new capacity.

Positive net income of €9.4 million
After including net finance income (expense) of €(57.2) million, an improvement of €7.8 million due, in particular, to foreign exchange gains, and an income tax expense of €(11.2) million, OVHcloud recorded net income of €9.4 million in FY2026, compared to €0.4 million in FY2025.

Levered Free Cash Flow, positive for the first time

In response to rising component costs, OVHcloud has chosen to anticipate part of its hardware investments. These include approximately €49.5 million of memory and disk components strictly intended for use in 2027. 

Excluding this anticipated capex, adjusted Capex represent 32.6% of revenue, below the target range of 33% to 35%, and can be broken down into:
-    hardware Capex (servers) of around €291 million, stable outside of anticipated capex
-    infrastructure and network Capex of around €53 million
-    stable product and software Capex of around €72 million

Secure funding, available cash

Consolidated net debt (excluding lease liabilities) at 31 August 2026 was €1,157 million compared to €1,103 million at 31 August 2025. At the end of August 2026, almost all of the Group’s debt was hedged and had an average interest rate of 4.4%, including margins and commission, without any significant repayment deadlines before FY2030. 
Debt leverage at 31 August 2026 was 2.7x, down by 0.2x, in line with the Group’s debt management policy. 
As part of its new guidance, the Group has changed the way it calculates its “leverage ratio”, which is now defined as net financial debt, including lease liabilities (IFRS 16) and excluding capitalized debt issuance costs, divided by last-twelve-month adjusted EBITDA.

Finally, the Group has €255 million in available liquidity, including an undrawn credit line of €200 million. The Group is currently rated BB- by S&P and Ba3 by Moody’s.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) reached 7.7% in FY2026, compared to 7.1% in FY2025 and 3.3% in FY2024. It has, therefore, more than doubled in two years, reflecting the ramp-up of investments made and the maintenance of strict discipline in terms of investment.
