Advance circularity

Reduce energy consumption & carbon footprint

How we do business: committed to a circular economy

Supplier engagement and external benchmarking

  • JAC (supplier risk mitigation)
  • Ecovadis Scorecard

Recycling

  • New recycling technologies
  • Optimize reporting on waste
  • Standardization
  • Facilitate disassembly

Collection

Collaborating with:

  • Customers/end-users
  • Suppliers/partners
  • Government bodies

Consumption

Create recycling awareness with:

  • Customers/end-users
  • Suppliers/partners
  • Government bodies

Code of Conduct

• Suppliers need to comply with KPN Code of Conduct or have own equivalent

Design

  • Recycled plastic covers
  • Smaller design
  • Low carbon
  • Use handling disposal

Production

  • Reducing sourcing risk
  • Renewable raw materials
  • Product lifecycle analysis
  • Efficient carbon/energy/waste

Distribution

Improving logistics

  • Review line-haul from China
  • Use local transport

Example product circularity report: Fairphone 3

73% materials used in Fairphone 3 can be recycled

54%copper used comes from a recycled source

Materiality Circularity Score: 50 %

Fairphone 3 designed for disassembly, considering refurbish program and high levels of product reuse and component recovery

Fairphone consciously chooses to source Fairtrade Certified Gold to actively improve highly polluting and dangerous conditions under which it is mined. Sourcing from wellestablished recycled gold market would save 1.24kg CO2e per unit

Moving to 100% recycled polycarbonate yields another carbon footprint reduction of 0.1kg CO2e per unit

Where do we go from here?

Energy consumption decreasing, data traffic increasing exponentially

Data usage increased 21-fold while energy consumption reduced 37% in 2020 compared to 2010

Contributors to further energy savings:

  • Network modernization and simplification
  • Copper switch off

Data communication growth (%) compared to base year 2010

  • Network functions virtualization
  • Office space reduction
  • Fleet transformation program

Carbon footprint

Scope 1 – Direct emissions

• Gross emissions, relating to fuel consumption car fleet and heating buildings

Scope 2 – Indirect emissions

• Location based emissions, relating to usage of electricity of fixed and mobile network, offices and shops

Scope 3 – Emissions in value chain

  • Emissions during production phase (upstream)
  • Emissions during use phase (downstream)

Savings by ICT

• Carbon emissions avoided through KPN customers using ICT solutions

Key drivers to lower emissions (scope 1 & 2)

Scope 2 emissions (in kTon)

. Scope 1 & 2 emissions <25% KPN total emissions

Target

  • Non-fossil fuel car fleet without compensation in 2030 (scope 1)

Alternativeperformancemeasuresandmanagementestimates

This financial report contains a number of alternative performance measures (non-GAAP figures) to provide readers with additional financial information that is regularly reviewed by management, such as EBITDA and Free Cash Flow ('FCF'). These non-GAAP figures should not be viewed as a substitute for KPN's GAAP figures and are not uniformly defined by all companies including KPN's peers. Numerical reconciliations are included in KPN's quarterly factsheets and in the Integrated Annual Report 2020. KPN's management considers these non-GAAP figures, combined with GAAP performance measures and in conjunction with each other, most appropriate to measure the performance of the Group and its segments. The non-GAAP figures are used by management for planning, reporting (internal and external) and incentive purposes. KPN's main alternative performance measures are listed below. The figures shown in this financial report are based on continuing operations and were rounded in accordance with standard business principles. As a result, totals indicated may not be equal to the precise sum of the individual figures.

Financial information is based on KPN's interpretation of IFRS as adopted by the European Union as disclosed in the Integrated Annual Report 2020 and do not take into account the impact of future IFRS standards or interpretations. Note that certain definitions used by KPN in this report deviate from the literal definition thereof and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of the results as reported under IFRS as adopted by the European Union. KPN defines revenues as the total of revenues and other income. Adjusted revenues are derived from revenues (including other income) and are adjusted for the impact of incidentals. KPN defines EBITDA as operating result before depreciation (including impairments) of PP&E and amortization (including impairments) of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA after leases ('adjusted EBITDA AL') is derived from EBITDA and is adjusted for the impact of restructuring costs and incidentals ('adjusted') and for lease costs, including depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities ('after leases' or 'AL'). KPN defines Gross Debt as the nominal value of interest-bearing financial liabilities representing the net repayment obligations in Euro, excluding derivatives, related collateral, and leases, taking into account 50% of the nominal value of the hybrid capital instruments. In its Leverage Ratio, KPN defines Net Debt as Gross Debt less net cash and short-term investments, divided by 12 month rolling adjusted EBITDA AL excluding major changes in the composition of the Group (acquisitions and disposals). The Lease adjusted leverage ratio is calculated as Net Debt including lease liabilities divided by 12 month rolling adjusted EBITDA excluding major changes in the composition of the Group (acquisitions and disposals). Operational Free Cash Flow is defined as adjusted EBITDA AL minus capital expenditures ('Capex') being expenditures on PP&E and software. Free Cash Flow ('FCF') is defined as cash flow from continuing operating activities plus proceeds from real estate, minus Capex. Return on capital employed ('ROCE') is calculated by the net operating profit less adjustments for taxes ('NOPLAT') divided by capital employed, on a 4-quarter rolling basis. Net operating profit is the adjusted EBITA (excluding incidentals and amortization of other intangibles and including restructuring costs). KPN defines capital employed as the carrying amount of operating assets and liabilities, which excludes goodwill and the other intangibles. All market share information in this financial report is based on management estimates based on externally available information, unless indicated otherwise. For a full overview on KPN's non-financial information, reference is made to KPN's quarterly factsheets available on ir.kpn.com.

Forward-lookingstatements

Certain statements contained in this financial report constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may include, without limitation, statements concerning future results of operations, the impact of regulatory initiatives on KPN's operations, KPN's and its joint ventures' share of new and existing markets, general industry and macro-economic trends and KPN's performance relative thereto and statements preceded by, followed by or including the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "will", "may", "could", "should", "intends", "estimate", "plan", "goal", "target", "aim" or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside KPN's control that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. A number of these factors are described (not exhaustively) in the Integrated Annual Report 2020. All forward-looking statements and ambitions stated in this financial report that refer to a growth or decline, refer to such growth or decline relative to the situation per 31 December 2020, unlessstated otherwise.
