This document has been translated into English for the convenience of the readers. In the event of discrepancy, the Italian language version prevails.

The Separate Consolidated Income Statements, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as well as the Consolidated Net Financial Debt of the TIM Group, herewith presented, are the same as those included in the Interim Management Report of the Half-year Financial Report at June 30, 2024 and are unaudited.
Such statements, as well as the Consolidated Net Financial Debt, are however consistent with those included in the TIM Group Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2024.
The accounting policies and consolidation principles adopted are consistent with those applied for the TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2023, to which reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from January 1, 2024.
Furthermore, please note that the limited review work by our independent auditors on the TIM Group Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2024 has not yet been completed.

On April 4, 2024, TIM signed a bridge loan agreement for 1.5 billion euros, on May 15, 2024, this was increased by an additional 300 million euros, with a maturity of up to 18 months. The loan, which was aimed at covering the refinancing needs up to the date of closing of the NetCo sale, with conditions in line with market benchmarks, was repaid in its entirety on July 4, 2024.
The change in bonds in the first half of 2024 was as follows:
| (millions in original currency) | Currency | Amount | Repayment date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repayments | |||
| Telecom Italia S.p.A. 450 million euros 3.625% | Euro | 450 | 1/19/2024 |

| Telecom Italia S.p.A. 1,500 million USD 5.303% | USD | 1,500 | 5/30/2024 |
In April 2024, TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A made an Offer to Exchange Existing Notes for New Notes to Bondholders in preparation for the Netco transaction.
In May 2024, the EUR and USD exchange transactions placed for some TIM Group Bonds were concluded.
The new Bonds have substantially the same terms as the corresponding series of original Bonds, including in terms of their maturity, interest rate, interest payment dates and restrictive covenants, with the exception of the clause for the exchange of new Bonds to Optics BidCo S.p.A. ("Optics") on the date of the completion of the Netco transaction.
As of June 30, 2024, the Bonds transferred to Optics, along with their respective hedging derivatives, were reclassified under medium/long-term payables (current portion).
The table below summarizes the Notes still with the TIM Group and those subsequently transferred to Optics on July 1, 2024:

In addition, as of June 30, 2024, a number of bank loans earmarked for early repayment were reclassified to medium/long-term payables (current portion). Specifically these were: the 1.8 billion euro Bridge Loan (repaid in full on July 4, 2024) and the 2 billion euro Facility subscribed on July 6, 2022, which benefited from the "Italian Guarantee" (repaid in full on July 10, 2024).
The nominal repayment amount, net of treasury security buybacks, of the bonds maturing in the 18 months following June 30, 2024 and issued by TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A. (fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TIM S.p.A.) is 2 billion euros, as detailed below:
The bonds issued by TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom ltalia Capital S.A. do not contain financial covenants of any kind (e.g. Debt/EBITDA ratio, EBITDA/Interest, etc.) or clauses that would entail the automatic early repayment of loans in the event of non-insolvency events of the TIM Group; moreover, the repayment of bonds and the payment of interest are not backed by specific guarantees, nor are there any commitments to issue future guarantees, with the exception of the full and unconditional guarantees granted by TIM S.p.A. for bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A..
Since these are mainly transactions placed with institutional investors on the main global capital markets (Euromarket and USA), the terms governing the loans are in line with the market practice for similar transactions carried out on the same markets.
With reference to the loans taken out by TIM with the European Investment Bank ("EIB"), on May 19, 2021, TIM took out a loan for 230 million euro to support projects to promote digitalization in the country. In addition, on the same date, it expanded the financing taken out in 2019 (for an initial 350 million euros) by an additional 120 million euros. At present, these loans are partially secured.
In addition, on May 5, 2023, TIM took out a new loan with the EIB for 360 million euros, partially guaranteed by SACE.
Therefore, at June 30, 2024 the nominal total of outstanding loans with the EIB was 1,060 million euros.
Loans taken out with the EIB contain the following covenants and commitments, among others:
Some TIM loan agreements outstanding at June 30, 2024 contain financial covenants (e.g. Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/interest ratios, etc.), failure to comply with which would entail an obligation to repay the loan. These include the loan signed on July 6, 2022, which is backed by the "Italy Guarantee" (in accordance with art. 1, subsection 1 of Decree-Law no. 23 of April 8, 2020, as subsequently amended and supplemented); this was entirely repaid, voluntarily, on July 10, 2024.
The loan agreements contain the usual other types of covenants, including the commitment not to pledge the Company's assets as collateral for loans (negative pledge) and the commitment not to change the business purpose or sell the assets of the Company unless specific conditions exist (e.g. the sale takes place at fair market value). Covenants with basically the same content can be found in the export credit loan agreement.
In the loan agreements, TIM is required to provide notification of change of control. Events constituting a change of control and the applicable consequences – including, at the discretion of the investors, the establishment of guarantees or the early repayment of the amount paid in cash and the cancellation of the commitment in the absence of agreements to the contrary – are specifically identified in each agreement.

In addition, the outstanding loans generally contain a commitment by TIM, any breach of which constitutes an Event of Default, not to implement mergers, demergers or transfers of business, involving entities outside the Group, except where certain conditions exist. Such an Event of Default may entail, upon request of the Lender, the early repayment of the drawn amounts and/or the annulment of the undrawn commitment.
The documentation of the loans granted to certain companies of the TIM Group generally contain obligations to comply with certain financial ratios, as well as the usual other covenants, under penalty of a request for the early repayment of the loan.
Finally, as at June 30, 2024, no covenant, negative pledge or other clause relating to the aforementioned debt position had in any way been breached or violated.

In addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by the IFRS Accounting Standards, the TIM Group uses certain alternative performance measures in its internal presentations (business plan) and in external presentations (to analysts and investors) for the purposes of enabling a better understanding of the performance of its operations and its financial position. These measures in fact represent a useful unit of measurement for assessing the operating performance of the Group (as a whole and at Business Unit level).
Such measures, which are presented in the periodical financial reports (annual and interim), should, however, not be considered as a substitute for those required by the IFRS Accounting Standards. As these measurements are not defined by the IFRS Accounting Standards, their calculation may differ from the alternative indicators published by other companies. This is why comparability between companies may be limited.
The alternative performance measures normally used are described below:
■ EBITDA: this measure is used by TIM as the financial target, in addition to the EBIT. These measures are calculated as follows:
+/- Other expenses (income) from investments
+/- Share of losses (profits) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method
EBIT – Operating profit (loss)
+/- Impairment losses (reversals) on non-current assets
EBITDA – Operating profit (loss) before depreciation and amortization, capital gains (losses) and impairment reversals (losses) on non-current assets
To provide a better representation of the true performance of Net Financial Debt, in addition to the usual indicator (renamed "Net financial debt carrying amount"), the TIM Group reports a measure called "Adjusted net financial debt", which neutralizes the effects caused by the volatility of financial markets. Given that some components of the fair value measurement of derivatives (contracts for setting the exchange and interest rate for contractual flows) and of derivatives embedded in other financial instruments do not result in actual monetary settlement, the Adjusted net financial debt excludes these purely accounting and non-monetary effects (including the effects of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement) from the measurement of derivatives and related financial assets/liabilities.
Net financial debt is calculated as follows:
| E=(C + D) Adjusted Net Financial Debt | |
|---|---|
| D) | Reversal of fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets |
| C=(A - B) | Net financial debt carrying amount |
| B) | Financial assets |
| + | Financial assets relating to Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale |
| + | Current financial assets |
| + | Non-current financial assets |
| A) | Gross financial debt |
| + | Financial liabilities directly associated with Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale |
| + | Current financial liabilities |
| + | Non-current financial liabilities |

■ Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF): this financial measure represents the free cash flow available for the remuneration of own capital, to repay debt and to cover any financial investments and payments of licenses and frequencies. In particular, the indicator highlights the change in adjusted net financial debt without considering the impacts of payment of dividends, changes in equity, acquisitions/disposals of equity investments, outlay for the purchase of licenses and frequencies, increases/decreases of finance lease liabilities payable (new lease operations, renewals and/or extensions, cancellations/early extinguishing of leases).
The Equity Free Cash Flow measure is calculated as follows:
Operating Free Cash Flow and Operating Free Cash Flow (net of licenses) are calculated as follows:
Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group presents the following additional alternative performance measures:
This measure is a useful indicator of the ability to generate Free Cash Flow.
In order to provide a better understanding of the business's performance, organic economic and financial information is presented relating to the operating performance in the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2023 of the business in the "TIM ServCo" perimeter, restated based on operating data. Such organic like-for-like information is prepared by simulating the separation operation of the fixed network, with the creation of the NetCo component and the consequent definition of the TIM ServCo perimeter, as the it had occurred at the start of the reference period (January 1).
