This presentation contains statements that constitute forward looking statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of future growth in the different business lines and the global business, financial results and other aspects of the activities and situation relating to the TIM Group. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Consequently, TIM makes no representation, whether expressed or implied, as to the conformity of the actual results with those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking information is based on certain key assumptions which we believe to be reasonable as of the date hereof, but forward-looking information by its nature involves risks and uncertainties, which are outside our control, and could significantly affect expected results.
Analysts and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation.
The 2023 preliminary financial results of the TIM Group were drafted in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the EU (designated as "IFRS").
The accounting policies and consolidation principles adopted in the preparation of the 2023 preliminary financial results of the TIM Group are the same as those adopted in the TIM Group Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2022, to which reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from 1 January, 2023.
Please note that the 2023 preliminary financial results of the TIM Group are unaudited.
The TIM Group, in addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by IFRS, uses certain alternative performance measures for the purposes of enabling a better understanding of the performance of operations and the financial position of the TIM Group. In particular, such alternative performance measures include: EBITDA, EBIT, Organic change and impact of non-recurring items on revenue, EBITDA and EBIT; EBITDA margin and EBIT margin; net financial debt (carrying and adjusted amount), Equity Free Cash Flow, Operating Free Cash Flow (OFCF) and Operating Free Cash Flow (net of licences). Moreover, following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group uses the following additional alternative performance indicators: EBITDA After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), Adjusted Net Financial Debt After Lease and Equity Free Cash Flow After Lease.
Such alternative performance measures are unaudited.
