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 FY19 and for 2020-22 of the TIM Group are the same as those adopted in the TIM Group Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018, to which reference can be made, except for the adoption of the new accounting principle (IFRS 16 - Lease), adopted starting from January 1, 2019. In particular, TIM adopts IFRS 16, using the modified retrospective method, without restatement of prior period comparatives.

To enable the comparison of the economic and financial performance for the FY2019 and Q4'19 with the corresponding period of the previous year, "IFRS 9/15" figures, prepared in accordance with the previous accounting standards applied (IAS 17 and related Interpretations) are provided, for the purposes of the distinction between operating leases and financial leases and the consequent accounting treatment of lease liabilities. Please note that, starting from January 1, 2018, the TIM Group adopted IFRS 15 (Revenues from contracts with customers) and IFRS 9 (Financial instruments).

As of today, the audit work by our independent auditors on the FY19 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 and net financial debt. Moreover, following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group provides the following additional alternative performance indicators:

* EBITDA adjusted After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), which is calculated by adjusting Organic EBITDA, net of non-recurring items, of the amounts related to the accounting treatment of finance lease contracts in accordance with IAS 17 (applied until year-end 2018) and IFRS 16 (applied starting from 2019);

* Adjusted Net Financial Debt After Lease, which is calculated by excluding from the adjusted net financial debt the liabilities related to the accounting treatment of finance lease contracts in accordance with IAS 17 (applied until year-end 2018) and IFRS 16 (applied starting from 2019).

Such alternative performance measures are unaudited.

"Deliver & Delever"

Organic cash-flow generation and strategic initiatives allow meaningful deleverage paving way for return to dividend distribution

2020-22 "Operations TIMe"

Focus remains on:

  • Equity FCF: upgrading guidance today from ~€ 3.5bn cumulated Organic Equity FCF in 2019-21 to € 4.5-5.0bn in 2020-22 (after lease view already reflecting deconsolidation of INWIT cash flows, equivalent to ~€ 5.0-5.5bn on like-for-like IFRS 9/15 basis)
  • Debt reduction: target improved to <€ 20bn After Lease by 2021 (<€ 21.5bn like-for-like), <€ 19bn including INWIT proceeds. Stable in 2022 after 5G licence payment
  • Finalizing revenue model transformation leveraging on convergence as "core platform" and add on markets
  • Stabilizing profitability by accelerating cost cutting
  • Evolving organizational structure, capabilities and engagement to develop an ecosystem of industrial and financial partners fostering technological and infrastructural innovation

Our goals:

  • Complete operations' turnaround
  • Be Top European Telco in ESG and one of the top three companies in Italy
  • Distribute 20-25% of Equity FCF to shareholders with a floor of € 1cent dividend to ordinary shares starting from FY 2019 with savings shares stable at € 2.75cents throughout the period

  • Inwit deconsolidation: c. € 0.1bn

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

  • Continuous growth in broadband and fiber net adds: +60k bb net adds, 105k fiber net adds vs. 68k in Q3
  • Wholesale lines continue to benefit from migration to fiber: +233k VULA net adds vs. +207k in Q3 (still 49k more than ULL losses); FY VULA net adds 1.05m

FSR still affected by Sparkle and new sustainable cash generation culture

Total Fixed Revenues -4.8% YoY excluding Sparkle's International Wholesale business

Fixed Service Revenues (FSR) affected by:

  • Sparkle's strategy revision explaining 4.6pp decline YoY (no impact on margins; minor impact expected in 2020)
  • Shift to equipment accounting explains another 1.6pp (different offer structure in consumer - modem now paid - and B2B - ICT related sales- )
  • reduced washing machine effect (lower activation fees) but cash flow strongly benefiting (lower commissions and provisioning)
  • Consumer affected by the decision not to reprice the client base, which benefitted KPIs
  • ICT services growing steadily (+13.7% YoY)
  • National Wholesale -2.7% YoY due to comparison with very strong Q4 '18. VULA revenue growth still greater than ULL decline
  • Sparkle's International Wholesale revenues down 33.2%, following strategy revision (no impact on margins)

Cost cutting accelerated in Q4: -12% YoY

Cost cutting has continued to accelerate, with OPEX down € 279m YoY (-12%, vs -9.3% in Q3) and addressable costs -5.4% (-7.4% cash-view)

Net of deferred costs, on a cash view, the overall reduction reaches € 315m (-12% YoY)

  • Interconnection & equipment: benefiting from new strategy for both Sparkle and handsets (e.g. equipment margin +€ 35m in Q4, >€ 90m in 9 months)
  • Commercial: positively impacted by the reduced "washing machine" effect and better bad debt
  • Industrial: decrease in network and industrial building cost more than offsetting drag from energy prices (€ 13m, no drag expected from 2020)
  • G&A: lower costs of consulting, civil building and land fleet management
  • Labour: benefiting from FTE reduction (~2.7k exits in 2019)

Capex respecting guidance; NWC outflow improved € 550m YoY

Group recurring NWC improving €550m YoY
