In line with previous quarters, the Group has maintained its operating and financial discipline, particularly in terms of controlling general and administrative expenses.

Con tacts Appendices Glossary The different go-to-market segments are determined according to the following criteria: 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. Revenue by segment and geography Reconciliation of like-for-like and reported growth Attachment
