Safe Harbour

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.

The financial and operating data have been extracted or derived, with the exception of some data, from the TIM Group Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2018 which have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by IASB and endorsed by the EU (IFRS). The limited review on such interim consolidated financial statements by the external auditors (PwC) has not been completed.

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 first half results include the effects arising from the adoption, starting from 1 January 2018, of the new standards IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. To enable the yearon-year comparison of the economic and financial performance for the 2Q2018 and first half of 2018, this presentation shows "comparable" statement of financial position figures and "comparable" income statement figures, prepared in accordance with the previous accounting standards applied (IAS 39, IAS 18, IAS 11, and relative Interpretation).

Well Diversified and Hedged Debt €mln

Net financial position € 25,141

Banks & EIB Maturities and Risk Management

Average m/l term maturity: 7.87 years (bond only 8.02 years)

Fixed rate portion on gross debt approximately 71.1%

Around 31% of outstanding bonds (nominal amount) denominated in USD and GBP and is fully hedged

Cost of debt: ~4.5 %

N.B. The figures are net of the adjustment due to the fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets, as follows:

  • the impact on Gross Financial Debt is equal to 1,578 €/mln (of which 204 €/mln on bonds)

  • the impact on Financial Assets is equal to 678 €/mln

Therefore, the Net Financial Indebtedness is adjusted by 900 €/mln.

N.B. The difference between total financial assets (€ 4,254 mln) and C&CE and marketable securities (€ 3,137 mln) is equal to € 1,117 mln and refers to positive MTM derivatives (accrued interests and exchange rate) for € 808 mln, financial receivables for lease for € 95 mln, deposits beyond 3 months for € 1 mln and other credits for € 213 mln.

TIM Group 2Q'18 – IFRS 9-15 impacts

As from January 1, 2018, IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IFRS 15 (Revenues from Contracts with Customers) have to be applied. In order to allow comparison of the results for 2Q'18 with those for the same period of the previous year, financial statements data are also prepared under previous accounting principles.

IFRS 9

Impacts the determination of expected losses on trade receivables and other financial assets (change from the incurred loss model provided by IAS 39 to the expected credit loss model).

IFRS 15

Impacts the revenue recognition of fixed and mobile offerings as well as the recognition of relevant contractual costs, without any impacts on cash flows.
