1 Management guided for low-to-mid single digit EBITDAaL growth in 2021

Commenting on 2021 performance, Julien Ducarroz, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"2021 was the first year of implementation of our ambitious new .Grow strategy, with last year's excellent performance a very strong first step in its execution. We delivered on all our commitments. Our growth accelerated thanks to core business, benefitting from good customer demand, commercial value strategy and growth in ICT.

Implementation of our strategy was enhanced by organisational changes: the structures of our consumer and business market units were entrusted with customer relations, and we also set up a new unit dedicated to digital to foster our development in this area. This will support our digital transformation journey and help us to focus even better on the needs of our customers. This goes hand in hand with investing further in the root of our success – Orange Polska's people.

The #OrangeGoesGreen programme mobilised our teams around our challenging 2025 climate commitments. In 2021 we reduced our CO2 emissions by 9%, with a large part of the reduction resulting from our use of renewable energy for the first time. At the end of last year we signed another PPA contract that will secure an additional 20% of our consumption from 2024. I am proud that our efforts are being recognised: the UN Environmental Programme's Warsaw affiliate ranked our climate strategy third in Poland among listed companies2 .

Last year was particularly important for our advancement in fibre. Owing to strong year-end, both in retail and wholesale, we reached 1 million fibre customers. Our fibre footprint is already reaching almost 6 million households with the expansion, in line with our strategy, now coming mainly from wholesale partnerships. We concluded the innovative FiberCo project, a smart multi-year investment vehicle to expand our fibre reach in very attractive areas.

In 2022 we will operate in a volatile and sometimes challenging macro environment. But we are confident as ever that we have put in place the strategy best suited to bring our assets and values to life. Our commercial strategy will be focused on value, which is even more vital in an inflationary environment. As 5G will open up new growth prospects, we will count on completion of the 5G auction so we can begin the network rollout. We will continue the digitisation of our business processes, reskilling our people and pursuing cultural transformation.

I am pleased to say that the management has recommended to the Annual General Meeting payment of a PLN 0.25 per share dividend in 2022 from 2021 profits. This underscores our turnaround and confidence that our assets and know-how are ever more important to the Polish society, as described in the .Grow strategy."

Financial Review

2021 revenues up by 3.6% year-on-year driven by core telecom services and IT/IS

Revenues totalled PLN 11,928 million in 2021 and were up 3.6% year-on-year or PLN 420 million. Growth rate significantly accelerated compared to 2020 when they increased 0.9% year-on-year. There were four main factors impacting revenue trend in 2021.

Firstly, combined revenues of convergence, mobile-only and fixed broadband-only (which we consider our core telecom services) were up 6.7% year-on-year. This growth rate accelerated versus 2020 when it amounted to 2.9%. This was an outcome of successful combination of strong growth of customer volumes and improving trends of average revenue that they generate (ARPO).

2 Independent Climate Strategies Benchmark prepared by Go Responsible and United Nations Environmental Programme GRID Warsaw published in November 2021

Improving ARPO was a consequence of our value pricing strategy, growing share of fibre and partial recovery of roaming after lockdowns-hampered 2020.

Secondly, IT and integration services recorded another strong year with revenues growing 19% year-on-year. It combined solid organic growth (both at BlueSoft and Integrated Solutions) and contribution of Craftware acquired at end of 2020. Thirdly, wholesale revenues were down 10% year-on-year mainly due to regulated cuts of mobile and fixed termination rates that were introduced in the second half of the year. Finally, equipment revenues rebounded advancing 8% year-on-year after pandemic-related slowdown in 2020.

In 4Q alone, revenues were up 2.9% or PLN 88 million year-on-year. The key contributors to the growth were unchanged: core telecom services (advancing 7.2% year-on-year) and IT/IS (up 21% year-on-year). Equipment revenues increased 9% year-on-year reflecting our successful Christmas campaign. A 19% drop of wholesale revenues was mainly a consequence of regulatory cut of termination rates.

Strong commercial performance in 2021 in all key services

In 2021 we continued to successfully combine solid growth of customer volumes in all key services (convergence, fixed broadband, mobile post-paid) with improving underlying trends in the average revenue that they generate (ARPO).

Our commercial activity is mainly focused on delivering a package of mobile and fixed services, which we define as convergence. This is our competitive edge, it increases customer loyalty and allows us to upsell more services, winning a higher share of household media and telecom budgets.

In 2021 our B2C convergent customer base increased by 69,000 and 4.7% year-on-year and exceeded 1.55 million. At the end of December, 67% of our B2C broadband customers were convergent versus 65% a year ago. ARPO from convergent customers expanded by 5.8% yearon-year to PLN 111.9. This was largely due to our value strategy and increasing share of fibre and TV services. In 4Q alone customer net additions reached 21,000 (which was the best quarterly result in 2021), while ARPO stood at PLN 113.2 and was up 5.7% year-on-year.

Total fixed broadband customer base increased in 2021 by 44,000 and 1.6% year-on-year. In 4Q alone it grew by 17,000. Growth of fibre customers accelerated in 2021. It expanded by 220,000 or 30% as a result of increasing penetration of fibre services on our past investments, expansion of the fibre footprint and migration from copper. In 4Q alone, the fibre net additions were the highest ever and stood at 65,000. Fibre already reached 34% of our total broadband customer base. The copper broadband customer base continued to decrease and was lower by 172,000 versus previous year. The ARPO from broadband-only services grew 2.5% benefitting from our value strategy and growing share of fibre customers. Fibre customers generate the highest ARPO which is mainly fuelled by high share of TV services, growing popularity of higher fibre speeds and increasing share of customers in single family houses (who pay a higher price to cover higher network rollout cost).

Mobile handset customer base increased by 329,000 or 4% year-on-year, supported by all consumer brands (Orange, Nju Mobile and Flex) and good performance on the business market. Our customers are more loyal: in 2021 post-paid churn ratio decreased to 2.1% from 2.3% in 2020. Mobile-only handset ARPO increased 0.9% year-on-year in 2021 versus a drop of 4.2% year-onyear in 2020 as a result of our value pricing strategy and roaming recovery. Excluding roaming, this ARPO was flat year-on-year.

Pre-paid customer base in 2021 increased by 1.9% to almost 5 million as a result of growing number of pre-paid card activations and increased customer activity following lifting of pandemic restrictions. Growth of ARPO from pre-paid customers stood at 3.7% as a result of our value strategy and growing share of customers with unlimited voice and text bundles.

In fixed voice, in 2021 net loss of lines stood at 239,000 as compared to 210,000 a year ago and reflected structural negative market trends.

2021 EBITDAaL up 5.9% driven by strong performance of core telecom services

EBITDA after Leases (EBITDAaL) for 2021 came in at PLN 2,963 million and was up 5.9% year-onyear. This growth rate accelerated as profitable revenue expansion translated into profits through our high operating leverage. Direct margin (difference between revenues and direct costs) increased more than 4% mainly owing to strong performance of margin from core telecom services and IT/IS. Its dynamics were also supported by low comparable base of last year when we created some COVID-related provisions. Indirect costs were 3% year-on-year higher in 2021 as a result of certain key factors. Firstly, they benefitted from our ongoing cost transformation with savings mainly coming from labour, CRM subcontracting services and general expenses. Secondly, the year-onyear comparison reflects positive impact of COVID crisis-related mitigating measures in 2020, mainly a PLN 64 million one-off due to curtailment of jubilee awards scheme. And thirdly, in 2021 our advertising and promotion costs accelerated after pandemic-related slowdown in 2020.

In 4Q alone EBITDAaL increased 8.1% year-on-year as a result of almost 4% growth of the direct margin and broadly flat indirect costs. The drivers of the performance were similar in the full-year results.

2021 bottom line boosted by one-off gain related to FiberCo transaction

Net income for 2021 at PLN 1,672 million was significantly boosted by PLN 1,400 million (net of tax) gain on the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód Inwestycje. Excluding this one-off development net income were PLN 272 million, much above PLN 46 million recorded in 2020. This improvement resulted from the growth of EBITDAaL, lower depreciation (which benefitted from extension of useful lives of certain assets) and lower financial costs (which were elevated in 2020 by foreign exchange losses mainly on EURO denominated long-term leasing liabilities). The bottom line was also impacted by PLN 136 million provision related to the new social plan.

2021 Organic Cash Flow reflects strong cash generation from operating activities and higher proceeds from sale of assets

Organic cash flow for 2021 was PLN 867 million, a growth of 35% (or PLN 225 million) year-onyear. There were three key factors contributing to this performance. Firstly, more than PLN 200 million better cash generation from operating activities before working capital reflected higher EBITDAaL. Secondly, cash proceeds from sale of assets at PLN 196 million were much higher yearon-year due to improved disposal of real estate (from pandemic-related very low level in 2020) and sale of network assets to Światłowód Inwestycje (sale of fibre network assets that Orange Polska had started to build before signing of the transaction). These two strong positives were partly offset however by PLN 111 million lower year-on-year working capital release mainly as higher receivables balance reflected better equipment sale on instalments.

Commenting on 2021 results, Jacek Kunicki, Chief Financial Officer, said:

"Our 2021 results met our expectations and were very strong across the board. EBITDAaL increased by almost 6% driven by profitable growth of our revenues and our high operating leverage. I am especially pleased that revenues from key telecom services, which are essential to margin generation, delivered a robust 6.7% growth rate. It resulted from our commercial value strategy combining steady customer volumes and improving trends in ARPO. Growing EBITDAaL, strong cash flow and proceeds from sale of a 50% stake in Światłowód Inwestycje allowed us to improve our net income and ROCE, and decrease financial leverage to 1.4x. Management proposal to pay a dividend from the 2021 results underscores the confidence that we have in our growth prospects and in our sound balance sheet.

Following a very strong 2021 we are on a good path to reach our .Grow strategy objectives. In 2022 our revenues will reflect the impact of further MTR and FTR cuts while EBITDAaL development will inevitably be slowed down by the cost of the energy crisis. However, as we are confident in the strength of our assets, growing customer demand and the quality of our services, we fully confirm all of our long-term strategic ambitions and financial objectives."

Management recommends dividend payment from 2021 profits

Taking into account strong 2021 results and sound balance sheet situation, the Management Board of Orange Polska on 16 February 2022 has adopted a resolution to recommend to Annual General Meeting payment of a cash dividend of PLN 0.25 per share in 2022 from 2021 profits.

This proposal is in line with the dividend policy stated in the .Grow strategy. The Company considers PLN 0.25 per share as sustainable floor for the future. Further changes to dividends will be decided on yearly basis taking into account projections of underlying financial results and long-term financial leverage (net debt/EBITDAaL) forecast versus 1.7x to 2.2x leverage corridor.

Orange Polska 2022 guidance

The Management Board of Orange Polska hereby publishes the Company's guidance for the fullyear 2022.

We forecast our revenues to decline slightly in 2022. The decline will result from regulatory cuts of mobile and fixed termination rates (combining annualised impact on the cuts made in 2H 2021 and further cuts that came in force in 2022) that affect our wholesale revenues (with limited impact on profit margin). Excluding this regulatory impact revenues are expected to grow, supported mainly by further growth of our core telecom services (convergence, mobile-only and broadband-only), IT/IS and equipment sales.

EBITDAaL is estimated by the Management in 2022 to be flat or growing by a low single digit percentage. Similarly to 2021, we expect EBITDAaL to be supported by profitable revenue expansion in all key areas of business, our continued focus on value and further cost optimisation. However inflationary environment and in particular the extraordinary increase of energy prices are expected to weigh on our operating costs and constitute a key uncertainty factor.

We anticipate our economic capex (eCapex) in 2022 to be in the range of PLN 1.7-1.9 billion. The eCapex definition excludes acquisition and prolongation of mobile spectrum.

Realisation of this guidance will be monitored by the Company on an ongoing basis. Should there occur material deviation from the forecast, the Company will make a revision to the forecast and immediately publish it in the form of a current report.

The management is fully confirming all financial ambitions embedded in the .Grow strategy presented in June 2021.
