We have successfully repositioned several offerings, which enabled us to meet our customers’ needs and boost the acquisition of new customers. As the leading European cloud provider, we are at the heart of a new dynamic with the acceleration of enquiries for sovereign solutions. This is the sign of a structural change, with OVHcloud as the sovereign cloud reference. We reconfirm all of our annual targets, with continued discipline to deliver solid, profitable and cash- generative growth. I would like to sincerely thanks our employees for their commitment which enables us to execute our roadmap.” 1/8 Resilient growth and operating discipline OVHcloud’s revenue for the third quarter of FY2025 came in at €271.9 million, up 9.3% like for like. Growth was driven by the success of our Public Cloud products and strong demand in the United States and Asia- Pacific. The strategic repositioning of some of our offerings has boosted customer acquisition, particularly in the Bare Metal Cloud (Private Cloud). Our existing customers continued to grow, as illustrated by the net revenue retention rate of 104% (on a like-for-like basis). In line with the first half of 2025, the Group has maintained its operating discipline, particularly in terms of controlling general and administrative expenses.

Scope adjustments correspond to M&A. The net revenue retention rate for any period is equal to the percentage calculated by dividing (i) the revenue generated in such period from customers that were present during the same period of the previous year, by (ii) the revenue generated from all customers in that previous year period. When the revenue retention rate exceeds 100%, it means that revenue from the relevant customers increased from the relevant period in the previous year to the same period in the current year, in excess of the revenue lost due to churn. ARPAC (Average revenue per active customer) represents the revenue recorded in a given period from a given customer group, divided by the average number of customers from that group in that period (the average number of customers is determined on the same basis as in determining net customer acquisitions). ARPAC increases as customers in a given group spend more on OVHcloud services. It can also increase due to a change in mix, as an increase (or decrease) in the proportion of high-spending customers would increase (or decrease) ARPAC, irrespective of whether total revenue from the relevant customer group increases. Recurring EBITDA is equal to revenue less the sum of personnel costs and other operating expenses (and excluding depreciation and amortisation charges, as well as items that are classified as "Other non-recurring operating income and expenses"). Adjusted EBITDA is equal to recurring EBITDA excluding share-based compensation and expenses resulting from the payment of earn-outs. Recurring Capital Expenditure (Capex) reflects the capital expenditure needed to maintain the revenue generated during a given period for the following period. Growth capital expenditure (Capex) represents all capital expenditure other than recurring capital expenditure. Unlevered free cash-flow represents cash flows from operating activities minus capital expenditure. 6/8 Revenue by segment and geography Q1 FY2024 Q2 FY2024 Q3 FY2024 9M FY24 Q1 FY2025 Q2 FY2025 Q3 FY25 9M FY25 In € million Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Private cloud 149.6 152.9 157.6 460.1 164.5 169.8 169.3 503.5 Public cloud 43.5 44.9 46.0 134.4 50.3 53.5 53.6 157.4 Webcloud & Other 46.7 48.5 47.3 142.4 48.8 49.2 49.0 147.0 Total Revenue 239.8 246.3 250.8 736.9 263.5 272.5 271.9 807.9 Q1 FY2025 Q2 FY2025 Q3 FY2025 9M FY25 Q1 FY2025 Q2 FY2025 Q3 FY25 9M FY25 Growth in % LFL LFL LFL LFL Reported Reported Reported Reported Private cloud +10.2% +10.5% +8.6% +9.8% +9.9% +11.0% +7.4% +9.4% Public cloud +15.8% +18.7% +17.2% +17.3% +15.7% +19.0% +16.5% +17.1% Webcloud & Other +4.4% +1.3% +3.8% +3.2% +4.5% +1.4% +3.8% +3.2% Total Revenue +10.1% +10.2% +9.3% +9.9% +9.9% +10.6% +8.4% +9.6% Q1 FY2024 Q2 FY2024 Q3 FY2024 9M FY24 Q1 FY2025 Q2 FY2025 Q3 FY25 9M FY25 In € million Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported Reported France 116.7 120.8 121.6 359.1 127.1 129.6 130.4 387.1 Europe (excl.
