Cellnex expects limited impact from MNO consolidation processes in Europe

Rumored

MNOs What happened? Country Management of impact
The merger between Wind and 3 Italia occurred in
2016 after regulatory approval, combining Wind and 3
Italia; It was fully acquired by CK Hutchison in 2018
Merger approved with remedies creating a new entrant –
Iliad, resulting
in a new network, hence additional business for Cellnex with no impact
on cash flows from anchor tenant
Fastweb, the Italian subsidiary of Swisscom, acquired
Vodafone Italy
Neither of the entities involved is an anchor tenant of Cellnex. Fastweb
may replicate Swisscom high network quality, requiring more
densification
The merger between Vodafone UK and Three UK,
owned by CK Hutchison, is a major consolidation in
the UK telecom market, forming a new entity where
Vodafone holds 51% and Hutchison 49%
Pharos agreement secures revenues from the combined entity in the
short-term with long-term contract. Commitment to build one of
Europe's most advanced 5G network, improving Cellnex's growth
prospects in the country
The merger between Orange and MasMovil
in Spain,
completed in 2024, formed a joint venture and
MasOrange
became the largest operator in Spain
Short-term flexibility offered to MasOrange, together with new business
under discussions with MNOs and tower efficiencies will be neutral for
Cellnex from a cash flow perspective
Reported in the press that CVC & Xavier Niel might be
interested in purchasing a stake in Telecom Italia with
an aim to merge it with Iliad's Italian operations
Anchor PoPs
with Iliad under MSA, protected until 2039, under all or
nothing renewal, and non-anchor PoPs
only representing c.25% total co
location revenues from Iliad in Italy at a very competitive price

Pro Forma – excluding Ireland and Austria perimeter

(1) Pro Forma 2025 removes Ireland and Austria perimeter from CMD guidance, whereas New Guidance 2025 (slide 17) includes c.2 months contribution from Ireland and impact from announced share buyback on interest expenses

(2) Pro Forma 2027 = new guidance 2027

EBITDA
relates
to
the
"Operating

before
"Depreciation,

and

from

of
fixed
assets"
and
after
adding
back
certain

metric
among
analysts,
investors,

and
other

At
the
same
time,
it
is
important
to
highlight
that
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
not
a
measure
adopted
in
accounting
standards
and,
therefore,
should
not
be
considered
an
alternative
to
cash
flow
as
an
indicator
of
liquidity.
Adjusted

does
not
have
a

and,
therefore,
cannot
be

to

Non-IFRS and Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

This presentation contains, in addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and derived from our financial statements, alternative performance measures ("APMs") as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415en) and other non-IFRS measures ("Non-IFRS Measures"). These financial measures that qualify as APMs and non-IFRS measures have been calculated with information from Cellnex Group; however those financial measures are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework nor have been audited or reviewed by our auditors.

We use these APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider these APMs and non-IFRS measures to be useful metrics for our management and investors to compare financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows. Nonetheless, these APMs and non-IFRS measures should be considered supplemental information and are not meant to substitute IFRS measures. Furthermore, companies in our industry and others may calculate or use APMs and non-IFRS measures differently, thus making them less useful for comparison purposes.

For further details on the definition and explanation on the use of APMs and Non-IFRS Measures please see the section on "Alternative performance measures" of Cellnex Telecom, S.A. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Consolidated Interim Directors' Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 (prepared in accordance with IAS 34), published on 1 August 2024. Additionally, for further details on the calculation and reconciliation between APMs and Non-IFRS Measures and any applicable management indicators and the financial data of the corresponding reported period, please see the backup excel file published today by Cellnex Telecom, S.A. All documents are available on Cellnex website (www.cellnex.com).
