Orange says it lifts its full-year financial outlook, citing momentum in its Africa and Middle East operations and the effect of consolidating a Spanish business acquired as part of its Spain deal. The company points to record growth in its first half, and it now includes its Spanish operations in full for the first time. Orange raises guidance for EBITDAaL—a key after-leases profit metric used by the telecom industry.
