Disclaimer

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.

The financial results of the TIM Group are prepared 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 financial results for Q3 '22 and 9M '22 of the TIM Group are the same as those adopted in the TIM Group Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31st , 2021, to which reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from January 1 st , 2022.

Please note that the financial results for Q3 '22 and 9M '22 of the TIM Group are unaudited.

Alternative Performance Measures

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) and Equity Free Cash Flow. 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.

As described in the 2021 TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements, during the fourth quarter of 2021, TIM refined some aspects of the booking of certain commercial agreements concerning the sale of goods with deferred delivery. This refinement entailed, for the first, second and third quarters of 2021, the redetermination of the distribution over time of revenues and purchases of materials and services. In connection with the foregoing, the economic data of the first nine months and of the third quarter of 2021, has been recalculated.
