GlossaryLike-for-like is calculated at constant exchange rates, constant perimeter and excluding Strasbourg (SBG) direct impacts. Perimeter 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 revenues 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 revenues per active customer) represents the revenues 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 revenues from the relevant customer group increase.
Recurring EBITDA is equal to revenues 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 from its adjusted EBITDA. Recurring Capital Expenditures (Capex) reflects the capital expenditures needed to maintain the revenues generated during a given period for the following period. Growth Capital Expenditures (Capex) represents all capital expenditures other than recurring capital expenditures.
Return on Growth Capital Expenditures (Capex) is calculated by dividing the difference between operating free cash flow less recurring capital expenditures for the current year and the previous year, by growth capital expenditures of the previous year.
Unlevered free cash-flow represents cash flows from operating activities minus cash flows used in investing activities.
