TIM GROUP

FY '20 RESULTS AND 2021-23 PLAN Beyond Connectivity

24 February 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 FY20, Q4'20 and for 2021-2023 Plan of the TIM Group are the same as those adopted in the TIM Group Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019, to which reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from January 1, 2020.

As of today, the audit work by our independent auditors on the FY20 results have 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.

…and more specialized "factories" to create optionality are being developed

The new plan raises the bar: "beyond connectivity" towards growth

2020 ACHIEVEMENTS

Stabilized the core: service revenues and EBITDA flattened YoY in Q4 2020

"Fix the fixed" delivered results: line losses turned positive in Q4 for the first time since 2001. Convergence helping mobile as well

Change in customers habits inverted fixed-to-mobile substitution trend… …and Telcos will play an even bigger role in the "after COVID" reconstruction

SOLID Q4 FINANCIALS

Strong topline and EBITDA trends improvement vs. Q3, Equity FCF +57% YoY

Organic data (1), IFRS 16, € m

Service revenues and EBITDA AL trends improved both in Italy and Brazil.

Q4 domestic EBITDA AL +0.4% YoY like for like: no solidarity in Q4 '20 (vs. 4 days in Q4 '19) implies 2.1pp YoY drag.

Q4 Equity Free Cash Flow AL € 622m (+57% YoY)

Net Debt AL down €2.1bn QoQ in Q4

Fixed retail lines back to growth, one of the strongest quarters ever in retail UBB

Retail net adds back to positive in Q4

No fixed line losses in Q4, 2 years ahead of target

Vouchers helped but >75% of first €200m tranche still available plus 100% of €900m tranche

Improvement attributable to "Fix the Fixed" plan

18.1k cabinets opened to FTTx in 2020 (reaching ~91% coverage of fixed active lines)

4,063 4,220 4,127 4,407 8,190 8,627 Q3 '20 Q4 '20 +24% YoY +157 +233 in Q4 '19 +280 +103 in Q4 '19 UBB Customer Base k lines

Retail UBB net adds doubled QoQ

Positive balance btw UBB net adds and ULL losses grew YoY

Churn improved, lower disconnections from F-M substitution and delinquent clients

Wholesale Retail

1.6% 1.3% Q4 '19 Q4 '20 Churn monthly average 1.7% 1.3% FY '19 FY '20

UBB growth accelerated

FSR flat YoY: QoQ improvement across the board: both retail and wholesale

Fixed Service Revenues flat YoY in Q4

  • National Wholesale +9.4% vs. +1.7% in Q3 thanks to better mix in revenues (VULA vs ULL) and OLOs' deals impact
  • International Wholesale +6.9% vs. -1.8% in Q3 thanks to data business
  • Retail YoY trend improving vs Q3 (-4.4% YoY vs -8.2% in Q3). Positive swing in Q4 vs. Q3 thanks to:
    • CB evolution: ~ +0.9pp
    • Consumer ARPU: ~ +0.7pp
    • ICT revenues: ~ +1.3pp with 28% YoY growth (+18% in Q3) mainly for increased cloud services

ARPU trend improving QoQ

Mobile KPIs showing improvements on all fronts

MNP balance keeps improving, TIM still the best among big 3

Further step toward customer Churn reduced YoY base stabilization: impact on MSR from CB reduction improved ~1pp QoQ (after ~2pp QoQ in Q3)

CSI +3.2% YoY in Q4

Churn reduced 1.0pp QoQ

NPS improving further QoQ and still well above large operators'

MSR more than halved YoY decline vs. Q3; discontinuities to fade-off in 2021

ARPU increasing 0.1% YoY excluding 4.4pp of one offs of which:

  • 2.8pp CSP cleaning (+1.9pp QoQ),
  • 1.5pp Roaming (flat QoQ)
  • 0.1pp Consip contract at lower prices (+0.6pp QoQ)

Addressable cost base -7.4% YoY in Q4

  • Labour -4% YoY for FTE reduction (-2.4k YoY). Fall would be 9% net of ~€27m drag due to no solidarity in Q4 vs. 4 days of solidarity in Q4 '19
  • G&A -18% YoY thanks to lower indirect personnel and consulting, lower fleet management and civil building costs
  • Industrial: lower energy costs (-6% YoY). Higher industrial building due to mobile sites co-sharing
  • Commercial -6% for lower commissioning and bad debt partly offset by advertising
  • CoGS increase related to ICT revenue growth
  • Equipment down due to Covid-19
  • Interconnection increase for higher international and retail traffic volumes

CAPEX: lower YoY despite push on FTTx

Group CAPEX flat YoY

Accelerated expansion in white areas (~10k new cabinets opened in FY) offset by improved efficiencies

Brazilian CAPEX increased in Q4 to catch up plans affected by COVID in previous quarters

Group Operating Working Capital outflow improving €534m YoY

Brazilian tax benefits and FX more than offsetting domestic negative one offs(1) (€209m)

€373m YoY improvement excluding YoY swing in non recurring items

Deleverage: €4,342m debt cut in 2020 (-€3,299m YoY After Lease view)

FINANCIAL AND ESG GUIDANCE CLOSING REMARKS

New plan confirms cash generation, dividend guidance and deleverage

Cumulated Equity Free Cash Flow guidance for 2021-23 similar to 2020-22 Anticipating a few payments

  • €0.7bn to be spent in 2021-23 as tax realignment cost (€5.9bn tax asset net of realignment cost to be used mostly after the plan period)
  • ~€0.3bn anticipation of 2100 MHz spectrum prepayment with €40m financial benefit, affecting 2021 net debt (not Equity Free Cash Flow)

Dividend distribution guidance unchanged

ordinary: floor of €1 cent per share, aiming at distributing 20-25% of yearly organic Equity FCF. Payout policy above floor subject to deleverage execution 2021-23 >2023

savings: €2.75 cents per share throughout 2021-23

Long term ambition: distribute 50% of yearly organic Equity Free Cash Flow
