TIM GROUP

Towards stabilization and growth

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 '20 and 9M '20 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. The financial results for Q3 '20 and 9M '20 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 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 (applied starting from 2019);

* Adjusted Net Financial Debt After Lease, calculated by excluding from the adjusted net financial debt the liabilities related to the accounting treatment of lease contracts according to IFRS 16 (applied starting from 2019).

* 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.

MSR: Q3 discontinuities to fade-off in 2021

MSR: trend YoY (-13.7%) is explained by:

  • ~6pp of one-off drags(1), set to fade off in 2021
  • ~4pp related to the customer base trend (vs. >6pp in Q2)
  • ~2pp related to price dynamics

~6pp drags affecting Q3 are expected ~4pp in Q4 and <1pp in '21

MTR price reduction explains -0.7pp drag

Handsets sales back to growth after the lockdown slowdown

Mobile ARPU affected by discontinuities

ARPU reducing 1.7% YoY excluding 6.8pp of one offs, of which 4.7pp CSP cleaning and the rest from Roaming and Consip contract at lower prices

Consip contract renegotiated at higher prices. Benefit starting in 2021

TIM Domestic

Addressable cost base -11% YoY

  • Labour -8% YoY for FTE reduction (-2.6k YoY). Fall would be -12% net of ~€20m drag due to no solidarity in Q3 '20 vs. 3 days of solidarity in Q3 '19
  • G&A down thanks to reduction in indirect personnel, civil building and IT costs
  • Industrial: lower energy costs (-12% YoY thanks to lower prices and consumption) and lower industrial building costs
  • Commercial benefit from stopped CSP services, lower bad debt and more digital sales
  • CoGS increase related to IT revenue growth
  • Equipment benefit from improved margins
  • Interconnection YoY comparison affected by positive regulatory ruling in Q3 '19

(1) Net of deferred costs, on a cash view, the reduction reaches € 58m (-3.0% vs. -12.6% in Q2). Net of deferred costs, total OPEX amounts to € 1,888m in Q3 '20 and € 1,946m in Q3 '19. On a cash view, YoY changes differ in CoGS (+60%), Commercial (-21%), Industrial (-3%), G&A (-14%) and Labour (-9%) (2) Net of capitalized costs

(3) Includes other costs/provision and other income

CAPEX: strong push on FTTx coverage in white areas. FY guidance reiterated

Slight CAPEX increase due to expansion of addressable footprint in Italy (>3k new cabinets opened in white areas in Q3, 10k YTD), partly offset by further efficiencies

Group Operating Working Capital outflow improving €694m YoY

Brazilian tax benefits and FX more than offsetting domestic negative one offs(1)(€264m)

€305m YoY improvement excluding YoY swing in non recurring items

Deleverage: €2,199m debt cut in 9 months (€1,152m After Lease)

€ m; (-) = Cash generated, (+) = Cash absorbed, excluding call-outs

(1) Includes Inwit deconsolidation and monetization (2) Cash taxes and other includes license payments

Liquidity margin - After Lease view Cost of debt ~3.4%, flat QoQ, -0.2p.p. YoY

(1) € 23,954m is the nominal amount of outstanding medium-long term debt. By adding the balance of IAS adjustments and reverse fair value valuations (€ 513m) and current financial liabilities (€ 1,102m), the gross debt figure of € 25,569m is reached
