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 Q1 '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. Please note that starting from January 1, 2019, the TIM Group adopted the accounting principle (IFRS 16 - Lease).

The financial results for Q1 '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 and net financial debt. 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 finance 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 finance lease contracts according to IFRS 16 (applied starting from 2019).

Such alternative performance measures are unaudited.

TIM Domestic

Mobile Service Revenues benefit from improved ARPU performance YoY

  • MSR continue on an improving path: underlying YoY performance -2.3% vs. -5.9% in Q4 once cleaned of Content Service Providers (CSP) revenues discontinuity (2.6p.p. drag YoY in Q1 vs 1.4p.p. in Q4. MTR price reduction explains half of the underlying fall (1.1p.p. drag YoY in Q1 in line with 1.0p.p. in Q4)
  • ARPU YoY performance better than Q4 even before cleaning from the CSP revenues drag (-0.3 €/month). Underlying ARPU trend positive YoY
  • Lower sales of handsets due to the lockdown (63% of YoY delta related to COVID 19) in addition to tail of new focus on margins

TIM Domestic

Mobile benefiting from flight to quality: TIM MNP balance positive in March

  • MNP balance more than halved once again in Q1 (-47k vs -114k in Q4 '19), with TIM still best performer among established MNOs
  • Net adds (-373k vs -359k Q4) and human lines have been initially impacted by lockdown (-38% MoM in March), with improving trends in April and May

COVID impact ~200k lines, related to lower gross adds in March

  • Churn improved vs Q4 '19 (5.3% vs 5.5% Q4) despite lockdown impact on second SIMs. Further improvement in April and May
  • Kena contribution almost halved QoQ, as most point of sales are in hopping malls closed during the lockdown

Domestic Fixed: zero consumer line losses in April, not far from zero with B2B

Migration to UBB continues: ~7.3m lines reached, +5% QoQ and +22% YoY, thanks to push on fiber conversion and FWA offer

Lines x 1,000 Early benefits from "fix the fixed" initiatives. More in Q2: exclusive Disney offer launched on 24 March and ~7k new cabinets in rural areas opened in March/May (+1.2m HH served).

  • Zero consumer line losses in April, not far from zero including business
  • Strong growth in fiber net adds despite lockdown: +119k fiber net adds vs. +105k in Q4 although gross activations were affected by the lockdown while churn was still reflecting December/January/February disconnections. BB net adds continued to grow as well
  • Wholesale fiber lines still above ULL losses: +240k VULA net adds vs. +233k in Q4 '19 (12k more than ULL losses). Total wholesale lines down 48k attributable to a slowdown on gross activations (WLR and bitstream), due to lockdown. Net balance turned positive in April and May
  • Market discipline: competitors not levelling down prices in Q1. Some price increase here and there by competitors
  • Churn rate at 4.8% in Q1, down 0.9pp YoY and 0.2pp QoQ thanks to lower disconnections across all typology (bad debt, switch of operator, cancelation). Further strong improvement in Q2
  • ARPU growth affected by stopping the washing machine effect, in addition to no price increases and lower revenues from activation fees

TIM Domestic

FSR still affected by Sparkle and new, sustainable cash generation culture

Total Fixed Revenues down 9.7% YoY, with Equipment affected by the lockdown (-3.5% vs +18% in Q4 '19)

Fixed Service Revenues (FSR) affected by:

  • Sparkle's strategy revision explaining 1.0 p.p. decline YoY (no impact on margins)
  • Shift to equipment accounting for another 0.4 p.p. (different offer structure in consumer - modem now paid - and B2B - ICT related sales)
  • reduced washing machine effect (lower activation fees) with cash flow strongly benefiting (lower commissions and provisioning)
  • Retail affected by the decision not to level up prices, which benefitted KPIs and strongly benefited CSI, and by softer revenues in the SME segment
  • National Wholesale up 0.6% benefiting from VULA growth above ULL decline
  • Sparkle's International Wholesale revenues down 8.8%, following strategy revision (no impact on margins)
  • Customer Satisfaction Index improving on all segments

TIM Domestic

Cost reduction continuing: -11% YoY on cash view

OPEX reduction continued in Q1: -10.2% YoY with addressable costs down 5.6%, in line with 5.4% in Q4 (- 7.6% cash-view, in line with -7.4%)

Net of deferred costs, on a cash view, the overall reduction reaches € 233m (-11.1% YoY)

  • Interconnection: still benefiting from new strategy for Sparkle and lower regulated prices
  • Equipment: strong fall both related to lower handset revenues (Covid-19 lockdown) and better equipment margins
  • CoGS: increase mainly related to IT revenue growth
  • Commercial: benefiting from reduced "washing machine effect", stopped CSP services, better bad debt management, alongside further efficiencies in customer care and commissioning
  • Industrial: decrease in network cost (mainly delivery and assurance) and energy cost due to lower prices and consumption
  • G&A: reduction in civil building
  • Labour: benefiting from FTE reduction (~2.2k YoY)

Capex under control; NWC outflow improved € 296m YoY

Group recurring NWC improving €296m YoY

  • Domestic improving € 141m YoY in Q1 thanks to better suppliers terms and lower trade receivables more than offsetting higher inventories caused by Covid-19 lockdown and one-off payments related to 2019 provisions for Sky settlement and regulatory fines (-€ 216m)
  • TIM Brasil improving € 145m YoY in Q1 mainly due to positive FX (+€ 128m) and better cash cost management, partially offset by higher Fistel payment vs. last year (-€ 28m)

Net Debt reduction building blocks: -€923m QoQ

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

Liquidity margin - After Lease view Cost of debt ~3.4%, -0.4p.p. YoY, ~0.2p.p. QoQ

Cost of debt ~3.4%

(1) € 24,881m is the nominal amount of outstanding medium-long term debt. By adding the balance of IAS adjustments and reverse fair value valuations (€ 624m) and current financial liabilities (€ 1,476m), the gross debt figure of € 26,981m is reached

Final remarks and guidance

We are living an unprecedented period of health emergency worldwide resulting in high uncertainty and signs of economic recession. Telcos are resilient but not immune. TIM has taken actions to react, including a plan to contain costs and increase investment efficiency

For 2020 we aim to offset revenue or EBITDA shortfall due to COVID 19 with incremental OPEX/CAPEX efficiencies

Hence we expect to be able to preserve 2020 EBITDA – CAPEX guidance as well as maintain 2021-22 guidance and 2020-22 cumulated Equity FCF

2021 deleverage guidance (<€20bn) improves thanks to the INWIT ABB and the Ardian Consortium transaction

In fiber: KKR chosen for a dual track approach towards one single network

We delivered on our promises

  • TIM selected KKR Infrastructure ("KKR") as financial partner
  • Dual track approach:
  • Integration with Open Fiber
  • Minority investment of KKR in TIM's secondary network
  • Government support for a single network
  • Preparatory works similar in both cases

Partnership with KKR

TIM entered an exclusivity period with KKR in response to KKR's offer to acquire a ~40% stake in FiberCop, a Newco owning TIM's entire secondary network (both fiber and copper)

FiberCop will:

  • Manage TIM's secondary copper network, which is going to progressively switch to fiber (and partially to FWA) over time
  • Develop fiber secondary network in Black & Grey areas
  • Continue to provide copper access in areas not reached by FTTH
  • Act as a wholesale operator providing copper and fiber access passive services to TIM and other OLOs
  • Act as integrator of Open Fiber at the right conditions

Development of the infrastructure will remain under TIM's control

  • Network deployment in ~1,600 cities (in Black and Grey areas)
  • Target coverage c. 13.5m HH1 by 2026 (i.e. >55% of total HHs1 in Italy)

First step overview: KKR transaction financials and perimeter

  • Compelling valuation, valuing TIM's secondary network (incl. both fiber and copper) € 7.5bn EV
  • The transaction represents a first step towards a potential deal with Open Fiber, which would unlock potential synergies

Envisaged transaction perimeter includes all of TIM's network infrastructure from the cabinet to the home, both fiber and copper (ducts, copper and fiber secondary network, sockets, etc. with cabinet excluded)

The company will be a wholesale operator providing copper and fiber access passive only services to TIM and other OLOs
