Dividends of 2 billion PLN (1.5 PLN per share) were paid annually from 2008 to 2012. Since then Orange Polska has not returned such large sums to investors. In fact, from 2017 to 2021 the company did not pay any dividend at all. Later, the money for investors increased year by year. In 2022 the dividend was over PLN 328 million (25 cents per share), in 2023 over PLN 459 million (35 cents per share), in 2024 almost PLN 630 million (48 cents per share), while last year it was over PLN 695.5 million (53 cents per share).
This time investors will receive PLN 800.54 million (61 cents per share). The dividend payment date has been set for July 8, 2026.

More than PLN 400 million will go to France
The money will not all go to Poland. Orange SA, headquartered in France, holds 665 million shares, which is 50.67% of the total, meaning the French group will receive over PLN 405 million in dividends. Significantly smaller amounts will go to other shareholders, including: OFE Allianz Polska (8.12%), OFE Nationale Nederlanden (6.4%), OFE PZU Złota Jesień (3.29%), Norges Bank (3%) and OFE Generali (2.95%).
High dividend, million-dollar revenues
Orange Polska’s holding group has had a successful financial year. In 2025 the company’s revenue was PLN 13.13 billion. This is 4.3% more than the previous year. The EBITDA profit was PLN 3.47 billion, a 4% increase.
"This dynamic reflected high growth in revenue from core telecom services and high-margin wholesale services. Indirect costs increased by PLN 57 million year-on-year, or 1.5%. A significant component of this increase was labor costs, which rose 5% year-on-year, reflecting wage increases and higher valuation of incentive programs," calculated Liudmila Climoc, CEO of Orange Polska, in the report.
At the end of 2025 the group served 20.13 million SIM cards, 8.2% more than the previous year. In the subscription segment (counting SIM cards installed on non-telecom devices) there was a 10.2% increase to 14.76 million, and in the prepaid area – a 1.4% increase to 4.37 million.
