TIM GROUP

Q3 '21 RESULTS

Leading the Country's digitalization

28 October 2021

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 Q3'21 and 9M'21 of the TIM Group are the same as those adopted in the TIM Group Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2020, to which reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from 1 January, 2021.

Please note that the limited review by the external auditors (E&Y) on the TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 September 2021 has not yet been completed.

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 adjusted After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), calculated by adjusting the Organic EBITDA, net of non-recurring items, of the amounts related to the accounting treatment of lease contracts according to IFRS 16;

* Adjusted Net Financial Debt After Lease, calculated by excluding from the adjusted net financial debt the net liabilities related to the accounting treatment of lease contracts according to IFRS 16;

* Equity Free Cash Flow After Lease, calculated by excluding from the Equity Free Cash Flow the amounts related to lease payments.

Such alternative performance measures are unaudited.

Q3 '21 FINANCIAL & OPERATING RESULTS

Domestic service revenues improving YoY performance +1.3pp QoQ, Group +0.4pp

Organic data (1), IFRS 16, € m

Domestic service revenues YoY performance +1.3pp QoQ, Group +0.4pp

Lower equipment sales in Italy and Brazil for tough comps (strong rebound in Q3 2020 sales after Q2 lock down)

Domestic EBITDA AL like for like -2.4% YoY:

  • ~4pp drag from: 1) rebound of COVID-related 2020 cost savings (e.g. indirect labour costs, real estate), 2) impact on EBITDA of lower equipment/handset sales with slightly lower margin mix
  • ~3pp drag from football and digital companies' start up costs

Fixed lines stable for 4th consecutive quarter, churn much better QoQ despite seasonality, CSI further improved. 9-month UBB almost doubled vs. 2019

Fixed service revenues heading towards stabilization

Fixed Service Revenues improving YoY performance +1.2pp vs. Q2 net of 1.5pp QoQ swing in ICT contribution to growth

  • International Wholesale: +11.3% YoY thanks to new repositioning (+12% Sparkle, including mobile)
  • National Wholesale (1) -2.8% YoY vs -4.7% in Q2
  • Retail (2) helped by:
  • Customer base stabilization –1.8pp drag YoY, 1.1pp better QoQ
  • ICT revenues growth: 1.7pp contribution to YoY performance, 1.5pp below Q2 due to seasonality and delay in a couple of contracts (+13% YoY growth vs +29% in Q2)

Equipment sales -3.3% YoY for tough comps (rebound in Q3 2020 after Q2 lock down)

Convergence accelerating Direct payments increased

Mobile net adds improving QoQ, churn at new record low, best MNP market of the last 10 years thanks to TIM's rational behaviour

Market MNP improved significantly YoY

Q2 '20 Q3 Q4 Q1 '21 Q2 Q3

Calling human net adds

Churn reduced further

MSR trend on an improving path

Mobile Service Revenues towards stabilization

MSR trend improved 4.1pp QoQ to -3.0% YoY in Q3

CSP cleaning offset by roaming / visitors partial rebound (high seasonality of roaming in Q3)

Total Mobile Revenues -4.5% YoY, due to lower equipment sales (-12.2% YoY vs. +29.8% in Q2) for tough comps (rebound in Q3 2020 after Q2 lock down)

Football/digital companies start up costs and COVID-related cost savings rebound offset improvement on labour cost

OPEX increasing 0.9% YoY, with addressable base down 0.4% YoY mainly for:

  • Labour -13.2% YoY benefiting from solidarity, lower holidays and continuous FTE reduction
  • Football and digital startup costs (advertising, content, Digital Companies set-up costs)
  • COVID-related cost savings rebound (indirect personnel costs, real estate, energy)
  • Interconnection explaining ca. +1pp increase related to Sparkle sales growth
  • Equipment costs up slightly as ICT-related component offsets lower equipment sales/costs related to rebound in Q3 2020 after Q2 lock down

Enhanced investments for growth (FTTH, digital companies and football) influence NWC

CAPEX CAPEX YoY increase (+€160m in Q3 after +314m in H1) due to anticipation of Q4 investments and higher growth CAPEX: FTTH, Cloud, football

Working Capital swing YoY in Q3 '21 (-€309m or -€239m After Lease) mainly related to payments of H1 incremental CAPEX vs. historical average (normally skewed towards Q4)

EFCF swing YoY in Q3 '21 largely attributable to incremental CAPEX for growth:

  • In Q3 '21 for >€160m
  • In H1 '21 for >€ 300m, impacting increased payments and NWC
