Acceleration of growth in the third quarter

• Organic growth of 6.9%, driven by Public Cloud, which grew by more than 20%
• Strengthening AI Lab with Gladia and a preview of OVHai Workspace
• Confirmation of FY2026 guidance

Revenue by product segment

Octave Klaba, Chairman and CEO of OVHcloud, said:  
 

“In Q3 FY2026, our organic growth accelerated to 6.9%, driven by Public Cloud, which returned to growth above 20%. In line with H1 FY2026, we have maintained strict financial discipline and are therefore reaffirming our target of achieving positive levered free cash flow in FY2026.

This quarter, I would also like to highlight three structural initiatives.

Firstly, to meet the growing demand for a trusted cloud, we reorganised the Corporate sales force. This underlying commercial momentum is illustrated this quarter by our selection by the European Commission to provide a sovereign cloud for EU institutions.

Secondly, for Starters, we maintained our offensive commercial approach with several updates to our offerings: VPS 2027, Domain Names 2027 and Web Hosting 2027 – which have all led to a steady increase in new customers.

Finally, building on our acquisition of Dragon LLM, we further expanded our AI Lab with the acquisition of Gladia, aiming to develop sovereign generative, agentic and multimodal AI. At VivaTech, the AI Lab also offered a preview of OVHai Workspace, a collaborative and open agentic AI platform.” 

Public Cloud drives growth in Q3 FY2026

OVHcloud’s revenue for the third quarter of FY2026 came in at €289.6 million, up 6.9% like for like, reflecting sequential acceleration. This growth continues to be driven mainly by Public Cloud, which returned to growth above 20%.

Existing customers’ demand continued to increase, reflecting the loyalty of the customer base, with the net revenue retention rate reaching 102% on a like-for-like basis, despite optimisation measures in Hosted Private Cloud.

In the third quarter of FY2026, Public Cloud (22.7% of revenue) accounted for €65.6 million, up 20.2% on a like-for-like basis.

• Public Cloud continued its sustained growth trajectory, buoyed by very strong customer acquisition in Starters, particularly for VPS offerings following the launch of VPS 2027.
• The Scalers and Corporate segments are currently expanding, driven by an extensive product catalogue with deployment in the 3-AZ regions in Paris and Milan.

In the third quarter of FY2026, Web Cloud (17.3% of revenue) accounted for €50.0 million, up 2.0% on a like-for-like basis.   

• Thanks to the offensive sales strategy, customer acquisition has increased, particularly in the domain name segment.           
• OVHcloud continues to innovate with the launch of new products: Webhosting 2027, Managed Hosting for WordPress, and OVHcloud Video Center.

Revenue by region                                                                                                     

France accounted for 48% of total Group revenue and was up 5.8% on a like-for-like basis, a slight sequential improvement compared to H1 FY2026. Private Cloud benefited from the repositioning of its entry-range offerings; Public Cloud returned to growth above 20%; and Web Cloud continued to be buoyed by support services and domain names.

The other countries of Europeaccounted for 29% of total Group revenue and increased by 7.4% on a like-for-like basis. Compared to H1 FY2026, growth more than doubled driven by stronger momentum in the Public Cloud segment.

Rest of the World accounts for 23% of the Group 's total and recorded growth of 8.6% on a like-for-like basis. Growth continues to be driven by the expansion of the Public Cloud segment and the Private Cloud segment’s resilience.

FY2026 objectives – Positive levered free cash flow

In line with the first half of FY2026, the Group maintained its strict financial discipline, combining rigorous cost management with a particular focus on cash generation.              

OVHcloud confirms all the following targets for FY2026:

• Organic revenue growth of between 5% and 7%;

Glossary

The different go-to-market segments are determined according to the following criteria:

• Starters: customers with a digital channel and less than €25,000 in ARR (annual recurring revenue);
• Scalers: customers with a digital channel and more than €25,000 in ARR (annual recurring revenue);
• Corporate: customers with either a direct sales strategy, via calls for tender or the OVHcloud sales team, or an indirect sales strategy, via specialised partners.

ROCE (return on capital employed) is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA after depreciation, amortisation and impairment and tax for the current financial year by capital employed for the previous year.

Capital employed corresponds to Goodwill, tangible and intangible fixed assets less net working capital requirements after tax.

Like-for-like is calculated at constant exchange rates and constant scope. 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.

Levered free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities minus capex, minus repayment of lease liabilities, minus financial interest paid, and includes dedicated financing related to specific operations (excluding M&A).
