SFR is a privately owned company headquartered in France. Founded in 2014, with an estimated 10,140 employees, it reported $10.6B in revenue as of 2025. The company functions as one of the primary telecommunications providers in France, operating as a subsidiary of Altice France and having RED by SFR as a key subsidiary.
Altice France, the parent company, reported declining revenue and EBITDA in the second quarter of 2026, reflecting customer losses across its fixed and mobile operations. The mobile base decreased by just over 1 percent year-on-year to 19.1 million, impacted by net losses of 161,000 in Q2 and 165,000 in Q1. Previously, on July 3, rating agencies placed Bouygues Telecom S.A. on CreditWatch Negative following its June 6 announcement of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Altice France to acquire some of its assets, an agreement also involving Orange and Free-Iliad group. On June 13, the French antitrust chief indicated that a buyout of SFR by its rivals was "not self-evident." This followed the signing of an MOU on June 6, 2026, where Bouygues Telecom, Free, and Orange agreed with Altice France to purchase SFR for €20.35 billion, a deal intended to close SFR and divide its assets, pending approval from competition authorities. Mayer Brown advised Altice France on tax and structuring aspects for this sale agreement.
