Q1 2025

Key Highlights

A story of consistent execution

Solid performance of key metrics in the quarter

Revenues ex-pass throughs €964Mn, +6.3% vs. Q1 2024 organic pro-forma (1) (+1.9% reported) EBITDAaL €566Mn, +8.7% vs. Q1 2024 organic proforma (1) (+5.8% reported)

Voluntary redundancy plan in Spain (c.200 employees over 2025-2027)

No impact from tariffs expected

Completion of the sale of Ireland

New syndicated loan of €625Mn for refinancing purposes Euribor + 0.95%

Execution of equity swap and share buyback implementation on track €746Mn acquired as of 2nd May

Guidance reiterated Additional cash-in from remedies expected in 2025

(1) Organic growth only, excluding the contribution of Ireland and Austria from Q1 2024, and the contribution of Ireland from Q1 2025

Solid execution still to be reflected in the share price

Cellnex expects no impact from tariffs

The European telecom sector is likely to be more resilient to tariffs increase in a recessionary scenario given its defensive nature and historical ability to withstand economic challenges

Consumer behavior: Cellnex has long-term B2B contracts with clients in place, with a complete
Demand for B2C services might be impacted EU domestic focus
Inflationary concerns: The sector has historically managed inflation well
through more direct inflation linkage in retail prices
Vast majority of Cellnex revenues are linked to inflation or fixed escalators
and Capex impacts: Increases in US-sourced
Supply chain Opex
equipment costs have a negligible effect on overall Capex
Cellnex expects no impact on Capex (not US-sourced)
Recessionary fears: Telco sector considered defensive due to limited Cellnex outperformed the broader market during crisis periods
exposure to variable revenue streams After assessing long-term FX and rates evolution, no impact is expected

In the context of tariff increases potentially leading to a recession and tightening credit conditions, top-tier transactions are anticipated to proceed, especially in countries and industries considered as safe heaven

Share buyback program Update

SBB execution on track. As of May 2nd, c.22.5 million shares have been acquired at an average price of €33.15 per share

Financial outlook reiterated

Debt maturities

Key Highlights

  • Liquidity of c.€4.7Bn: c.€1.5Bn cash and c.€3.2Bn undrawn credit lines
  • Fixed rate debt c.80%
  • Gross debt c.€18.3Bn (bonds and other instruments)
  • Net debt c.€16.8Bn
  • Flexibility preserved: Cellnex Finance debt without financial covenants, pledges or guarantees
  • 2025 maturities repaid with proceeds from Austria and refinanced via new bank financing (€625Mn,

3,275 – 3,375

Outlook – phasing 2025

Satellites in the telecom market

Satellite data connectivity solutions are a complementary to terrestrial networks

The risk to telecom operators from satellite communication services is limited

Low Orbit Satellite Mobile & Fixed
Networks
Deployment Costs >€30k / 1 Gigabits per
second
€10-200 / 1 Gigabits per
second
Replacement Cycle 5 years 30-40 years
Maintenance & Repairs No physical repairs Physical repairs are easy
to coordinate
Latency 40-50 milliseconds 15 milliseconds

Focus on crystallizing value co-creation opportunities with clients

  • Agreement with +O mitigating consolidation risk in Spain
    • Cellnex to provide flexibility to the new entity on its network strategy in exchange for a single contract (larger site perimeter), maturity extension (all PoPs now anchor until 2048 with the option of all-or-nothing renewal in 2038) and additional services to be provided by Cellnex to meet +O's future densification needs (new PoPs, 5G upgrades, small cells…) with incremental Capex to be re-invoiced to the client (EBITDA benefit to flow into FCF)
    • Short-term flexibility offered to +O, together with new business with MNOs and tower efficiencies will be neutral for Cellnex from a cash flow perspective

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
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

Accelerating our shareholder remuneration commitments through a €800Mn share buyback in 2025

The accelerated share buyback underscores our commitment to shareholder remuneration proving our strong credit profile and trust from credit agencies in maintaining Investment Grade rating

23 (1) 2024 pro-forma excluding Ireland and Austria perimeter; 2025 pro-forma excluding Ireland and Austria perimeter and adding the financial cost associated with the announced SBB (€800Mn worth of shares acquired at an average cost of €32 per share) (2) Assumes €32 per share

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

Term Definition
Net Financial
Debt
The
Net
Financial
Debt
corresponds
to
"Gross
Financial
Debt"
less
"Cash
and
cash
equivalents"
and
"Other
financial
assets".
Together
with
Gross
Financial
Debt,
the
Company
uses
Net
Financial
Debt
as
a
measure
of
its
solvency
and
liquidity
as
it
indicates
the
current
cash
and
equivalents
in
relation
to
its
total
debt
liabilities.
One
commonly
used
metric
that
is
derived
from
Net
Financial
Debt
is
"Net
Financial
Debt
/
Adjusted
EBITDA"
which
is
frequently
used
by

investors
and
rating
agencies
as
an
indication
of

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).
