Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement for 2022

Translation of consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish and prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union (see notes 2 and 27). In this sense, this translation has been carried out by the Company, under its sole responsibility, and it is not considered official or regulated information. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.
Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. ("PRISA" or "the Company") was incorporated on January 18, 1972 in Madrid (Spain), and has its registered office in Madrid, at Gran Vía, 32. Its business activities include, inter alia, the exploitation of media in any format, including the publication of newspapers and educational material, the holding of investments in companies and businesses and the provision of all manner of services.
In addition to the business activities carried on directly by the Company, PRISA heads a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates which engage in a variety of business activities and which compose the Group ("the PRISA Group" or "the Group"). Therefore, in addition to its own separate financial statements, PRISA is obliged to present consolidated financial statements for the Group including its interests in joint ventures and investments in associates.
The consolidated financial statements for 2021 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on June 28, 2022 and are deposited in the Mercantile Register of Madrid.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for 2022 were authorized for issue by the Company's directors on March 28, 2023, for submission to the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders, it being estimated that they will be approved without modification.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros as this is the currency of the main economic area in which the Group operates. Foreign operations are accounted for in accordance with the policies described in note 2d.
Shares of PRISA are admitted to trading on continuous market of the Spanish Stock Exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia).
During last year and in the present the Administrators of PRISA have taken a number of measures to strengthen the Group's financial and asset structure, such as asset sale operations,

capital increases or issuance of bonds mandatorily convertible into shares and refinancing of its debt.
In 2020, Vertix, SGPS, S.A. (subsidiary fully owned by PRISA) sold its entire shareholding in Grupo Media Capital, SGPS, S.A. (Media Capital) for a total price of EUR 47.4 million, which implied an accounting loss of EUR 77 million. This amount, net of costs, was destined to partial repayment of syndicated loan of the Group existing at that time.
On June 29, 2020, the PRISA´s General Shareholder Meeting agreed to reduce in share capital of the Parent Company in order to re-establish its equity balance. Therefore, since June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2022, the parent Company's equity is greater than two thirds of the capital stock, which is why it is in a situation of equity balance.
On October 19, 2020, PRISA, through its subsidiary Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L.U. ("Santillana"), signed an agreement with the Sanoma Corporation, for the sale of the Spanish educational business of Santillana addressed at pre K12 and K-12 segments ("Santillana Spain"). Santillana's activity in public and private markets in Latin America was excluded from the transaction and will continue to be developed by PRISA through Santillana. On December 31, 2020, the transaction was closed at an enterprise value of EUR 465 million and an it meant a total cash obtained from the buyer of EUR 418 million. This operation implied a capital gain of EUR 377 million. EUR 375 million of the cash obtained was destined to partial repayment of syndicated loan of PRISA existing at that time.
In February 2022 the Board of Directors of PRISA approved, by unanimity, the signing of a lockup agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") that incorporates a term sheet with the basic conditions for the amendment of the Group's syndicated financial debt (the "Refinancing"). The basic terms of the agreed Refinancing consist, among other aspects, in the extension of the maturity of the financial debt to 2026 and 2027 and division of the syndicated loan into two differentiated tranches (one of Senior debt and one of Junior debt) and the flexibilization of the contractual commitments of the current debt that will allow, among other improvements, to increase PRISA's operating flexibility and soften the financial ratios required by its current contracts. Likewise, a Term Sheet has been signed with the basic conditions for the modification of the Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement") of the Company that, among other terms, supposes an extension of the maturity of the debt to June 2026. On April 19, 2022, the Refinancing entered into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors had concluded.
The agreed Refinancing thus make the Group's financial debt more flexible and provide a financial structure allowing the Group to comply with its financial commitments, ensuring the Group's stability in the short and medium term.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the Company, with preemptive subscription rights for PRISA shareholders. This issue took place through a public offer for subscription of up to a total of EUR 130 million, by issuing and putting into circulation up to a total of 351,350 convertible bonds. The maturity date of these convertible bonds and conversion into new shares will be on the fifth anniversary of the issue date, with a conversion price of EUR 0.37 per new share having been set. The convertible bonds will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00% (which cannot be capitalised) and payable upon conversion into ordinary shares. In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, i.e. the full amount of the offer (see note 26).

This issue is an instrument to reduce PRISA´s syndicated financial debt, which is linked to a variable interest rate and which was refinanced in April 2022. This has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the junior debt tranche, which is benchmarked at Euribor+8% (including cash and capitalisable cost), which as at December 31, 2022 totalled EUR 192,013 thousand (see note 11 b). In February, 2023 the Group had cancelled EUR 110 million of Junior debt.
In recent years, the Group has undertaken its activities in the following areas in a general climate of almost constant volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. This makes it difficult to predict future business performance, especially in the medium and long term. This complex environment has been greatly exacerbated by several events that are having a major impact at the global level: the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
In relation to COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the adverse impact of the virus has been reduced in recent months, thanks, among other things, to the efficacy and progressive extension of the application of vaccines. This has meant a relaxation of the restrictive measures implemented in the past. However, this positive evolution is not taking place equally among all the countries in which the Group operates, and in fact, the aforementioned Organization maintains the pandemic situation in force.
In February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine took place, which has led the European Union to adopt a series of individual measures and economic sanctions against Russia. It has also caused great instability in international markets.
In particular, the latter development has led to a significant increase in inflation rates and higher energy prices in 2022. In addition, as a result of inflationary pressures, central banks have been raising interest rates, which has led to an increase in the cost of financing for economic agents. All of the above has led to a slowdown in the global economy in 2022, with the prospects for economic recovery still uncertain, depending on the duration of the war in Ukraine, the normalisation of commodity supplies and the future behaviour of inflation and its return to normal rates. This slowdown in the global economy could turn into a prolonged period of low growth and high inflation (stagflation).
In general, both the Education and Media businesses tend to develop in a way that is very much subject to the macroeconomic environment. For example, on the cost side, raw materials, energy resources or distribution are being affected as a result of rising inflation and supply chain disruptions resulting from the environment. Moreover, in the case of Media, the performance of the advertising market is particularly affected. PRISA's activities and investments in Spain and Latin America are exposed to the development of the different macroeconomic parameters of each country, including the development of currency exchange rates.
Likewise, the increase in Euribor, the reference rate for the cost of most of the Group's financial debt, has a negative impact on the financial cost of the same and interest payments.
Considering the complexity of the markets due to their globalization the consequences for the Group's businesses are uncertain and will depend to a large extent on the remaining impact of

the events mentioned above. Therefore, at the date of approval of these consolidated annual accounts we have carried out an assessment and quantification of the impacts that COVID-19 and the invasion of Ukraine had on the Group as of December 31, 2022. There is still a high level of uncertainty about its consequences in the short and medium term.
Therefore, the Directors and Management of the Group have assessed the situation based on the best information available. For the reasons referred to above, such information may be incomplete. As a result of this assessment, we highlight the following:
Likewise, the invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19 and its macroeconomic impacts could also have an adverse impact on key indicators for the Group, such as financial leverage ratios and compliance with financial ratios included in the financial agreements of the Group. In this sense, with the agreed Refinancing in 2022, the Group's financial debt was made more flexible and endowed with a financial structure that makes it possible to meet its financial commitments (including financial ratios (covenants)).
Balance sheet assets and liabilities measurement risk: a change in the future estimates of the Group's revenue, production costs, finance costs, credit quality of trade receivables, etc. could have an adverse impact on the carrying amount of certain assets (goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets, trade and other receivables, etc.) and on the need to recognize provisions or other liabilities. The appropriate analyses and calculations have been carried out which have allowed, where appropriate, those assets and liabilities to be re-measured with the information available to date. At December 31, 2022 there have not been significant changes in the estimates at the end of 2021 in the aforementioned magnitudes, that have a negative impact on the consolidated financial statements, although the sensitivity margins were reduced in the analysis to determine the recoverable amounts of certain assets, especially due to the significant increase in discount rates (wacc) (see notes 6 and 8).

Continuity risk (going concern): in the light of all the above factors, the Directors of the Group consider that the application of the going concern principle remains valid.
Finally, we highlight that the Group's Directors and Management are constantly monitoring the situation so as to successfully address any impacts, both financial and non-financial, that may arise.
The Group's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union, in conformity with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council, taking into account all mandatory accounting policies and rules and measurement bases with a material effect, as well as with the Commercial Code, the obligatory legislation approved by the Institute of Accounting and Auditors of Accounts, and other applicable Spanish legislation.
In accordance with said regulation, in the scope of application of IFRS, and in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements of the Group, the following aspects should be highlighted:
In 2022, the following amendment to accounting standard came into force which, therefore, was considered when preparing these consolidated financial statements:
In this regard, the accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are the same ones applied to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2021, since none of the standards, interpretations, or amendments

that apply for the first time in this fiscal year have had a significant impact on the accounting policies of the Group.
The Group has elected not to early adopt IFRSs issued but not yet effective.
At December 31, 2022, the PRISA Group had not applied the following standards or interpretations issued, since the effective application thereof was required subsequent to that date or they have not been adopted by the European Union.

There is no accounting principle or measurement bases having a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements that the Group has failed to apply.
The consolidated financial statements were obtained from the separate financial statements of PRISA and its subsidiaries and, accordingly, they present fairly the Group's equity and financial position at December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in equity and the cash flows in the year then ended. The Group prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis, as described in note 1b. Also, with the exception of the consolidated statement of cash flows, these consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting.
Given that the accounting policies and measurement bases applied in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2022 may differ from those applied by some of the Group companies, the necessary adjustments and reclassifications were made on consolidation to unify these policies and bases and to make them compliant with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

The information in these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Company's directors.
In the consolidated financial statements for 2022 estimates were occasionally made by executives of the Group and of the entities in order to quantify certain of the assets, liabilities and obligations reported herein. These estimates relate basically to the following:
Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements on the events analysed, it is possible that events that may take place in the future force them to modify them, upwards or downwards. In this case, the effects in the corresponding consolidated income statements for future periods, as well as in assets and liabilities, would be recognized.
In 2022, there were no significant changes in the accounting estimates made at the end of 2021, that imply a significant adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements of the current fiscal year.
The consolidation methods applied were as follows:
Subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method, and all their assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements after the necessary adjustments and eliminations have been carried out. Subsidiaries are companies over which the parent company exercises control, i.e. it has the power to direct their financial and operating policies, it is exposed or is entitled to variable earnings or has the ability to influence their earnings. Subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method are listed in Appendix I.
The results of subsidiaries which are acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition of control or until the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
On acquisition of control, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values. Any excess of the cost of the subsidiary's acquisition over the parent company's share of the net fair value of its assets and liabilities is recognized as goodwill. Any deficiency is credited to the consolidated income statement.

The share of third parties of the equity of Group companies is presented under "Equity – Noncontrolling interests" in the consolidated balance sheet and their share of the profit for the year is presented under "Result attributable to non-controlling interests" in the consolidated income statement.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders is stated at those shareholders' proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognized.
All balances and transactions between the fully consolidated companies were eliminated on consolidation.
Associates are accounted for using the equity method. Associates are companies in which PRISA holds direct or indirect ownership interests of between 20% and 50%, or even if the percentage of ownership does not reach those levels, it has significant influence over their management.
This method was also applied to joint ventures, considered as arrangements whereby the parties that exercise joint control over the company are entitled to its net assets on the basis of the arrangement. Joint control is the sharing of control that is contractually decided and set out in an agreement, which exists only when decisions concerning major operations require the unanimous consent of the parties that share control.
The companies accounted for using the equity method are listed in Appendix I and II, together with their main financial aggregates.
Under the equity method, investments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at the Group's share of net assets of the investee, adjusted, if appropriate, for the effect of transactions performed with the Group, plus any unrealized gains relating to the goodwill paid on the acquisition of the company.
Dividends received from these companies are recognized as a reduction in the value of the Group's investment. The Group's share of the profit or loss of these companies is included, net of the related tax effect, in the consolidated income statement under "Result of companies accounted for using the equity method."
Additionally, investments accounted for using the equity method are modified by the effect of the exchange rate.
All related party transactions have taken place under market conditions.
The data relating to Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L., Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L., Grupo Latino de Radiodifusión Chile, Ltda. and Sistema Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V. contained in these notes were obtained from their respective consolidated financial statements.
The items in the balance sheets of the companies whose functional currency is not the euro included in the scope of consolidation were translated to euros using "the closing rate method", i.e. all assets, rights and obligations were translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end

of the reporting period. Income statement items were translated at the average exchange rates for each month. The difference between the value of the equity translated at historical exchange rates and the net equity position resulting from the translation of the other items as indicated above is recognized under "Equity– Translation differences" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At the time of sale of any company that has generated translation differences or translation differences in accumulated profit from prior years, these will be transferred to the consolidated income statement, reflecting them in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, under the heading "Amounts transferred to the profit and loss account", no impact on consolidated net equity.
Venezuela is deemed a hyperinflationary economy since the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2009. The Group regularly evaluates the local economic and exchange rate situation that better reflects the economic aspects of its activities in the country, taking into account all information available on relevant factors and circumstances at each closing date.
Hyperinflation, loss of spending power, falling international reserves and the fiscal deficit, among other issues, along with the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, meant that 2020 began with the country's biggest economic and political crisis. In Venezuela, unlike other countries, no fiscal stimuli were applied to try to recover or sustain the productive apparatus, which had a negative impact on companies' cash flow. In addition, the restrictions on bank credit made it necessary to operate with equity. Banking allowed, for use within the national territory, the purchase and sale of foreign currency through bureau de change transactions using an average exchange rate based on supply and demand.
In October 2019, the Central Bank of Venezuela published the inflation indexes for the first time, absent since 2016 to September 2019. Fiscal year 2022 ended with a cumulative inflation of 305.7% (686.4% between January and December 2021), continuing the deceleration of the inflation rate.
In October 2021 the Venezuelan government set up a new monetary reconversion, its third this century, which removed six zeros from the bolívar (the national currency) in an attempt to refloat an economy beset by hyperinflation and devaluation since 2017. The new currency, known as the "digital bolívar", has not succeeded in displacing the dollar due to the Government's insistence on maintaining a hyper depreciated local currency.
Transactional dollarisation and the penetration of dollars into the Venezuelan economy in the last few years are the two factors that have motivated the Group to adopt the dollar as a functional currency for its branch in Venezuela from January 1, 2021. The exchange rate used as of December 31, 2022 for the conversion of the financial statements of the Venezuelan subsidiary was provided by the Central Bank of Venezuela and amounted to 17.49 digital bolivars per euro.
The item "Financial expenses" of fiscal year 2022 also includes EUR 12 thousand of adjustments for inflation due to Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy (EUR 624 thousand in fiscal year 2021).
The effect of the adjustment for inflation on the net assets of Venezuela under the item "Equity – Accumulative profit from prior years" of the attached consolidated balance sheet as of December 2022 amounts to EUR 660 thousand (EUR 1,133 thousand on December 31, 2021).

Since the second quarter of 2018, Argentina's economy has been considered by international authorities as hyperinflationary. The main reason for this is that since July 1, 2018 the accumulated inflation of the last three years in Argentina exceeded 100%. As a general price index, Argentina's national CPI has been applied since 1 January 2017, the IPIM (Internal Wholesale Price Index) until December 31, 2018 and from January 2019 it was determined that the official index to be used will be the one issued by the "Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas" (FACPCE) which has matched the national CPI since 2019. The inflation rate from January to December 2022 amounts to 94.8% (50,9% from January to December 2021).
The functional currency is the Argentine peso and the balance sheet and the income statement of the Argentine subsidiaries were converted to the exchange rate on December 31, 2022, which was 189.19 EUR/Argentine peso (116.76 EUR/Argentine peso at December 31, 2021).
Prior to the consideration of Argentina as a hyperinflationary economy, the financial statements of this country's subsidiaries were developed using the historical cost method.
When the operations of an entity that operates in an economy hyperinflationary are translated into the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, in this case to euros, paragraph IAS 21.42 (b) states that "comparative amounts shall be those that were presented as current year amounts in the relevant prior year financial statements (i.e. not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or subsequent changes in exchange rates)".
Non- monetary headings of the balance sheet are adjusted to reflect changes in prices in accordance with local laws, before they are translated to euros, as contained in the notes to these consolidated financial statements separately under the column "Monetary adjustment". The effect of inflation for the financial year as to monetary assets and liabilities is included under "Finance costs" in the attached consolidated income statement. The effect of the adjustment for inflation on the net equity of companies to which this accounting practice applies (Venezuela and Argentina) (positive impact of EUR 7.2 million, which EUR 6.6 million come from Argentina) and the translation differences associated with them (negative impact of EUR 4.7 million, of which EUR 3.6 million come from Argentina) have been registered under the line "Translation differences" on the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Likewise, this effect has been registered under "Equity- Accumulated profit for prior years" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The operations and investments in Latin America may be affected by various risks typical of investments in countries with emerging economies, such as currency devaluation, inflation and restrictions on the movement of capital. Specifically, in Venezuela the movement of funds is affected by complex administrative procedures, expropriation or nationalization, tax changes, changes in policies and regulations or unstable situations.
In accordance with commercial legislation, the figures for the previous year are presented for comparison purposes with each of the items in the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement, in addition to the figures for 2022. Comparative information for the previous year is

also included in the notes to the financial statements, except where an accounting standard specifically states that it is not required.
The most significant changes in the scope of consolidation in 2022 were as follows:
In January 2022, the merger of Prisa Noticias, S.L.U., Prisa Brand Solutions, S.L.U. and Prisa Tecnología, S.L. with Prisa Media, S.A.U. took place.
In April 2022, the company Caracol Broadcasting, Inc was sold for EUR 0.8 million.
In May 2022, 51% of Lacoproductora, S.L. was bought, without the amount of cash handed over or the consolidation of assets and liabilities of this subsidiary being significant. The sale agreement includes a cross option to buy and sell the remaining 49% at a fixed price plus a variable payment (subject to fulfilment of a quantitative objective), payable in 2024. The Group has recorded the fair value of this option as increased goodwill (see note 6), credited to a noncurrent account payable, insofar as it is a cross option to buy and sell at the same price for the buyer and the seller. In relation to this transaction, this option was considered to buy the remaining 49% of the capital, to determine whether there is control over the subsidiary according to IFRS 10.
In November 2022, the merger of Radio Rioja, S.A.U. and Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L.U. took place.
In December 2022, the merger of Sistemas Educativos de Enseñanza, S.A. de C.V., Lanza, S.A. de C.V. and Vanguardia Educativa Santillana Compartir, S.A. de C.V. with Richmond Publishing, S.A. de C.V. took place.
Likewise, in December 2022 Improve Education Services, S.A.S. and Improve Learning S.A.S., Colombian companies belonging to the Education business, were created. The two companies are 50% owned by Educactiva Ediciones S.A.S. and 50% by Distribuidora y Editora Richmond, S.A.S.
In March 2022 the company Green Emerald Business, Inc was sold.
In April 2022, the company El Dorado Broadcasting Corporation and its investee company WSUA Broadcasting Corporation were sold for 0.3 million euros.
In July 2022, the stake in Radio Olot, S.A. was sale.
In November 2022, the stake in Planet Events, S.A. was sale.

These changes in the Group structure have not had a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2022, Prisa Media, S.A.U. acquired the remaining 20% stake of Prisa Radio, S.L. to Grupo Godó for an amount of EUR 45 million. This acquisition has led to a reduction in "Other reserves and accumulated profit from prior years" and "Translation differences" of approximately EUR 17 million because, in accordance with IFRS 10, it corresponds to an equity transaction, due to the transaction is about the acquisition of minority percentages that has not given rise to a change in control. That reduction occurs as a result of deducting on acquisition price amounting to EUR 45 million the associated non-controlling interest balance (see note 10i). Of the total purchase price, EUR 15 million have remained pending payment, payable in May 2023, therefore, a liability for this amount has been recorded under the heading "Other current liabilities" in the attached consolidated balance sheet.
The principal accounting policies used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2022 and comparative information were as follows:
In accordance with IAS 1, the Group opted to present the assets in its consolidated balance sheet on the basis of a current/non-current assets distinction. Also, income and expenses are presented in the consolidated income statement according to the nature of the related item. The statement of cash flows was prepared using the indirect method.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, net of the related accumulated depreciation and of any impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment acquired prior to December 31, 1983, are carried at cost, revalued pursuant to applicable legislation. Subsequent additions are stated at cost, revalued, if apply, pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 7/1996.
The costs of expansion, modernization or improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.
Period upkeep and maintenance expenses are charged directly to the consolidated income statement.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by the straight-line method at annual rates based on the years of estimated useful life of the related assets, the detail being as follows:
| Years of | |
|---|---|
| estimated | |
| useful life (*) | |
| Buildings and structures | 50 |
| Plant and machinery | 5 – 10 |
| Other items of property, plant and equipment | 4 – 10 |
(*) It excludes assets under IFRS 16
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or derecognition of an asset is determined as the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
IFRS 16 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement and presentation of leases, whereby all leases (with certain limited exceptions) are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet and there is an amortisation expense for the right-of-use asset and a finance cost for the change in value of the liability arising from the lease.
As a general rule, at the beginning of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease, i.e. whether the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time is transferred in exchange for a consideration.
At the commencement date of the lease, the lessee recognises an asset (property, plant and equipment or intangible) representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term for an amount equal to the initial value of the lease financial liability plus any initial direct costs incurred and payments made to the lessor before the commencement date, less any incentives received, and plus any estimated costs that will be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the asset or returning it to the required level on the required terms and conditions.
The right-to-use asset is subsequently measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and recognised impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, except where the useful life of the asset is shorter. The Group has applied the requirements included in IAS 36 to determine the impairment of the right-of-use asset (see note 4f), in other words, they form part of the value to be recovered in impairment tests associated with goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives forming part of the same Cash-Generating Unit (CGU). For the other right-to-use assets, an analysis is conducted to ascertain whether there are any signs of impairment, as per property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with defined useful lives.
Also, at the commencement date of the lease, the lessee recognises a financial liability, calculated at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted by the discount rate. In this regard, lease payments include committed fixed payments less lease incentives to be received, variable payments dependent on an index or interest rate (measured at the index or rate on the commencement date), amounts expected to be paid for residual value guarantees and payments for purchase options if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

The lease term of the contracts has been determined as the non-cancellable period considering the options of extension and termination when there is a reasonable certainty of their execution and it is at the discretion of the lessee. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the term of the lease if there is a significant event or change in the circumstances under its control that may affect its ability to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. The discount rate is calculated as the tenant's incremental borrowing rate.
After the commencement date, the lessee values the lease liability by increasing its carrying amount to reflect the interest accrued on the liability and reducing it by the payments made.
The amount of the lease liability is reviewed and adjusted in certain cases (generally as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset), such as, for changes in the length of the non-cancellable period of the contract (with regard to the initial consideration), changes in the expected amount payable for value guarantees or in the purchase option, or changes in lease payments due to changes in indices with regard to what would have been considered at the beginning of the contract.
In the event of any lease modifications not booked as a separate lease (i.e. because there has been no increase in the scope of the lease, or, therefore, in the consideration), at the effective date of the lease amendment the lessee will recalculate the associated financial lease liability as per IFRS 16, with an adjustment to the corresponding right-of-use asset.
The Group chooses not to recognise in the balance sheet the liability and the right-of-use asset corresponding to low value asset lease contracts. In this case, the amount accrued for the lease is recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
Payments associated with lease financial liabilities are included in the cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.
Finally, the Group's main lease contracts, due to their significance (leases of buildings and land), in general do not include variable payments in addition to the fixed amounts established, other than updates of the CPI index, they have renewal options (generally at the discretion of the lessor and the lessee), and have no residual value guarantees. At December 31, 2022 there were no significant lease contracts that had not commenced at that date and were not booked in the consolidated balance sheet, to which the Group was not already committed.
Combinations of businesses are accounted by applying the acquisition method. The cost of a business combination is the sum of the transferred compensation, valued at a reasonable value as of the date of acquisition, and the amount of the non-controlling interests of the acquired party, if any. For each business combination, the acquirer will value any non-dominant share in the acquired party as the proportional part of the non-dominant share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired party. Acquisition-related costs will be recorded as expenses in the consolidated results sheet.
If the business combination is carried out in stages, the Group will once again value its shares in the assets of the acquired party previously maintained at their reasonable value on the date of acquisition and will declare the resulting profits or losses, if any, in the consolidated results sheet.

Any contingent compensation transferred by the Group will be recognised at reasonable value on the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes in the reasonable value of contingent compensations classified as assets or liabilities will be recognised, recording any resulting profits or losses in the consolidated income statement or in the statement of comprehensive income. If the contingent compensation is classified as equity, there will be no need to value them again and its subsequent settlement shall be accounted as part of the consolidated net equity.
Any excess of the cost of the investments in the consolidated companies over the corresponding fair value at the date of acquisition or at the date of first time consolidation, provided that the acquisition is not after control is obtained, is allocated as follows:
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Once control is obtained, additional investments in subsidiaries and decreases in ownership interest without the loss of control do not affect the amount of goodwill. When a parent loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognizes the carrying amount of assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and the share of non-controlling interests, recognizing the fair value of the consideration received and any residual ownership in the subsidiary. The remaining difference is taken to profit or loss in the income statement for the year.
The assets and liabilities acquired are measured provisionally at the acquisition date, and the provisional amounts are reviewed within a period of a year from the acquisition date. Therefore, until the definitive fair value of the assets and liabilities has been established, the difference between the acquisition cost and the net value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is provisionally recognized as goodwill.
Goodwill is considered to be an asset of the company acquired and, therefore, in the case of a subsidiary with a functional currency other than the euro, it is valued in that subsidiary's functional currency and is translated to euros using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.

The main items included under "Intangible assets" and the measurement bases used were as follows:
"Computer software" includes the amounts paid to develop specific computer programs or the amounts incurred in acquiring from third parties the licenses to use programs. Computer software is amortized by the straight-line method, depending on the type of program or development, during the period in which contribute to the generation of profits.
This account includes basically prototypes for the publication of books, which are measured at the costs incurred in materials and work performed by third parties to obtain the physical medium required for industrial mass reproduction. The prototypes are amortized using the straight-line method over three years from the date on which they are launched on the market, in the case of textbooks and languages, atlases, dictionaries encyclopaedias and major works. The cost of the prototypes of books that are not expected to be published is charged to the income statement for the year in which the decision not to publish is taken.
This account includes the advances to authors, whether or not paid on account of future rights or royalties for the right to use the different forms of intellectual property. These advances are taken to expenses in the income statement from the date on which the book is launched on the market, at the rate established in each contract, which is applied to the book cover price. These items are presented in the balance sheet at cost, less the portion charged to income. This cost is reviewed each year and, where necessary, an allowance is recognized based on the projected sales of the related publication.
"Other intangible assets" includes basically the amounts paid to acquire administrative concessions for the operation of radio frequencies, which are subject to temporary administrative concessions. These concessions are granted for renewable multi-years periods, in accordance with regulations of each country, and are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the arrangement, except in cases where the renewal costs are not significant and the required obligations easily attainable, in which case they are deemed to be assets with an indefinite useful life (the latter mainly in Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L. and Grupo Latino de Radiodifusión Chile, Ltda.).
Whenever, there is evidence of impairment, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets might have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the amount of the impairment loss (if any). In the case of identifiable assets that do not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. For these purposes, a cash-generating unit is defined as the smallest

identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The Group identifies these cash-generating units, broadly, by business and country.
Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been assigned or intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are systematically tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period or when the circumstances so warrant. For the purpose of drawing up its impairment tests, the Group has considered it is critical to draw up a single flow scenario for each recovery analysis.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is taken to be the present value of the estimated future cash flows to derive from the asset based on most recent budgets and business plans, which, as appropriate, are approved by the governance bodies of the business units and of the Group and are used to monitor developments in them. These budgets and business plans include the best estimates available of the income and costs of the cash-generating units based on industry projections and future expectations. Specifically, as far as possible projections of earnings are based on external sources of information, such as sectoral publications concerning the areas of business in which the Group operates, market shares, macroeconomic outlook etc., along with historic trends and information.
These projections cover the following five years and include a terminal value that is appropriate for each business and that is calculated as a perpetual income extrapolating the normalized flow of year five using a constant growth rate. These cash flows are discounted to their present value at a rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital employed adjusted by the country risk and business risk corresponding to each cash-generating unit. Therefore, in 2022 the rates used ranged from 9.0% to 53.0% depending on the business being analysed (from 7.0% to 34.0% in 2021).
If the recoverable amount is lower than the asset's carrying amount, the related impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement for the difference.
In case the goodwill of a company with minority interests was fully recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company, the assignment of the corresponding impairment between the parent company and the minority interests is made in accordance with their participation in the profit and losses of the company, that means in accordance with the participation in the share capital of the company.
For the rest of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the Group ascertains whether there are any indications of impairment based, among other aspects, on the obsolescence of the assets, the continuity and profitability of the businesses in which they are used, external evidence and other exogenous factors entailing a reduction in the recoverable value below the assets' carrying amount.
Impairment losses recognized on an asset in previous years are reversed when there is a change in the estimate of its recoverable amount by increasing the carrying amount of the asset up to the limit of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset. The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized immediately as income in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill must not be reversed.

Financial assets are classified in three categories: (i) amortized cost, (ii) fair value with changes in other comprehensive income (equity) and (iii) fair value with changes in profit and loss, belonging practically all financial assets from the Group to the category of amortized cost.
This heading includes the following categories:
On the date of initial recognition of financial assets, the expected loss is recognised that results from a "default" event during the next 12 months or while the contract remains in force, depending on the evolution of the credit risk of the financial asset from its initial recognition on the balance sheet or by applying the "simplified" models allowed by the standards for some financial assets. The Group applied the simplified focus to recognise the expected credit loss during the period in which the receivables are in force that result from transactions under IFRS 15. In this way, the Group creates an allowance for a provision for credit losses on revenue recognition, for which an NPL ratio has been determined per business and type of customer, applied to the amount of sales by customer type.
Moreover, the Group shall derecognise a financial asset whenever the contractual rights on the cashflows of the aforementioned asset expire, or when the financial asset is transferred; this would entail, among other things, a substantial transfer of the risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the financial asset.
"Cash and cash equivalents" in the consolidated balance sheet includes cash on hand and at banks, demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and are not subject to a risk of changes in value.
This category includes debits for commercial operations and debits for non-commercial operations. These external resources are classified as current liabilities, unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer their liquidation for at least twelve months after the balance

sheet date. Debits for commercial operations that have an expiration of no more than one year and that do not have a contractual interest rate, both initially and subsequently, for their nominal value when the effect of not updating the cash flows is not significant.
The financial debt is initially recognised by its fair value, also recording the directly attributable costs incurred obtaining it. The amortised cost is valued in subsequent periods, i.e. for the amount at which it was measured in its initial recognition, deducting the repayments from the principal, plus any difference between the initial amount and the amount upon expiry, using the effective interest method.
Lastly, the Group shall derecognise a financial liability only when it has been extinguished; that is, when the obligation specified in the corresponding contract has been fulfilled or cancelled, or when the contract expires.
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the various countries in which it operates. In order to mitigate this risk, foreign currency hedges are used, on the basis of its projections and budgets, when the market outlook so requires.
Similarly, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of potential fluctuations in the various currencies in which its bank borrowings and debts to third parties are denominated. Accordingly, it uses hedging instruments for transactions of this nature when they are material and the market outlook so requires.
The Group is also exposed to interest rate risk since all of its bank borrowings bear interest at floating rates. In this regard, the Group arranges interest rate hedges, basically through contracts providing for interest rate caps, when the market outlook so requires.
Pursuant to IFRSs, changes in the value of these financial instruments are recognized as finance income or finance costs, since by their nature they do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRSs.
For instruments settled at a variable number of shares or in cash, the Company recognizes a derivative financial liability when measuring these financial instruments using the Black - Scholes model.
Fair value of financial instruments: applicable valuation techniques and assumptions for measuring fair value
The financial instruments are grouped together on three levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

As discussed in note 2d, investments in companies over which the Group has significant influence or joint control are accounted for using the equity method. The implicit goodwill (result of the difference between the price paid and the proportional part in the net equity of the acquired company) arising on the acquisition of these companies is also included under this heading.
When there are signs of deterioration, and at least annually, the Group will analyse the value of these investments to determine whether they have experienced losses due to deterioration. To do this, the recoverable amount of said asset is estimated to determine, where applicable, the necessary stabilisation amount (when the aforementioned recoverable value is lower than the book value), which is recorded in the consolidated income statement. Losses due to deterioration are reversible in subsequent periods, as long as the recoverable value of the investment is higher than its book value, and for a maximum amount equal to the losses recorded in previous periods.
Investments in companies accounted for using the equity method whose equity carrying amount is negative at the end of the reporting period are recognized under "Long- term provisions" (see notes 8 y 12) at their negative value (by their percentage of participation) excluding the financial effect, given the nature of the investments, and as long as the Group participates in them.
Inventories of raw materials and supplies and inventories of commercial products or finished goods purchased from third parties are measured at the lower of their average acquisition cost and market value.
Work in progress and finished goods produced in-house are measured at the lower of average production cost and market value. Production cost includes the cost of materials used, labor and in-house and third-party direct and indirect manufacturing expenses.
The Group´s main inventories correspond to books and educational material from the Education segment. The stock also includes "Audiovisual programmes" that correspond, essentially, to the costs incurred in their production, which are valued at their acquisition or production cost and attributed to results based on their delivery to the contracting medium.
Obsolete, defective or slow-moving inventories are reduced to their realizable value.
The Group assesses the net realizable value of the inventories at the period end and recognizes the appropriate write-down if the inventories are overstated (when the recovery value is less than the book value) . When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed.
Present obligations at the consolidated balance sheet date arising from past events which could give rise to a loss for the Group, which is uncertain as to its amount and timing, are recognized

in the consolidated balance sheet as provisions at the present value of the most probable amount that it is considered the Group will have to pay to settle the obligation.
The provisions for taxes relate to the estimated amount of the tax debts whose exact amount or date of payment has not yet been determined, since they depend on the fulfilment of certain conditions, but for which there will probably be a cash outflow.
Long term provisions also includes the estimated amount required to cover probable claims arising from obligations assumed by the companies in the course of their commercial operations, and probable or certain liabilities arising from litigation in progress, compensation to workers who are terminated their labor relations (and a valid expectation has been generated in them) or other outstanding obligations of undetermined amount, as in the case of collateral and other similar guarantees provided by the Group.
Likewise, it includes the amount of the companies accounted for using the equity method with negative equity net value at the year end (by their percentage of participation) and as long as the Group participates in them.
Revenue is recognised when control of the goods and services is transferred to the client for the amount at which the Group estimates that the goods and services will be traded. Revenue and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises.
To calculate revenue, in accordance with IFRS 15, the contract or contracts, as well as the different obligations included in goods and service provision contracts must be identified, the transaction price must be determined and distributed among the cited contractual obligations, based on their respective independent sales prices or an estimation thereof and the revenue is recognised inasmuch as the entity complies with each of its obligations.
The accounting policies applied to recognize the revenue of the Group's main businesses are as follows:

Therefore, recurring contracts signed by the Group which usually include several performance obligations refer to the Santillana digital teaching systems, where performance obligations are chiefly identified as printed teaching material and digital content, and the equipment provided for schools and other services. The price and value of revenue from these goods and services, and therefore their allocation to the various performance obligations, are determined by means of an analysis of margins and selling prices independently of goods with a separate marketing process. These revenues are collected in two different ways, either the total at the start of the school year or by means of payments throughout the year.
Moreover, it includes the revenue and costs associated with audiovisual production contracts recognised in the results account as control of the content sold (episodes ready to be shown by the buyer) is transferred at the moment of delivery, with there being no other significant performance obligations to be fulfilled from this moment onwards. The collection period is set out in the different contracts.
The Group does not adjust the considerations received due to the impact of significant financing components, as the period between the moment at which the goods and services are transferred to the client and the moment at which the client pays for the good or service is less than one year in nearly all of the contracts.
The commissions given to employees for obtaining contracts are recognized mainly as expenses in the financial year instead of as a fixed amortisation asset because the amortisation period of this asset would be less than one year.

Assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheet when, and only when, they arise from transactions in which the Group has a contractual or legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and its intends to settle them on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The expense or income due to tax on the year's earnings, is calculated by adding the current tax expense and the deferred tax expense. The current tax expense is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the taxable income and deducting from that result the amount of allowances and deductions generated and applied during the year, determining the payment obligation to the Public Administration.
The assets and liabilities due to deferred taxes, arise from temporary differences defined as the amounts expected to be payable or recoverable in the future which result from the difference between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax base, as well as non-deductible expenses that acquire deductibility at a later time. These amounts are recorded applying the tax rate at which they are expected to be recovered or settled to the temporary difference.
Deferred tax assets also arise as a result of carry forward losses and credits due to tax deductions generated and not applied and non-deductible financial expenses.
The corresponding liability due to deferred taxes is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, unless the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that at the time of its completion, affects neither the accounting nor the tax profit/loss.
Meanwhile, deferred tax assets, identified using deductible temporary differences, are only recognised if it is deemed likely that the consolidated companies will have sufficient future taxable profits against which to use them and they do not arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects the tax profit/loss or the accounting profit/loss. The remaining deferred tax assets (losses and carry forward deductions) are only recognised if it is deemed likely that the consolidated companies will have sufficient future taxable profits against which to use them.
At each accounting period end, recorded deferred taxes (assets and liabilities) are reviewed in order to check whether they are still applicable, making the appropriate adjustments, in accordance with the results of the analyses performed and the applicable tax rate at all times.
Royal Decree-Law 3/2016, of 2 December, modified the Transitional Provision Sixteenth (DT 16) of Law 27/2014, of November 27, on Corporate Income Tax, a Provision that establishes the transitional regime applicable to the fiscal reversion of losses for impairment generated in periods before January 1, 2013. Under the new regulations, with effect for tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, the reversal of said losses shall comprise at least equal parts in the tax base corresponding to each of the first five tax periods commencing from that date.
To the extent in which the values of the Group affected by this rule have no impediment, in practice, in order to be able to be transmitted before the end of the period of five years, as there are no very severe restrictions on their transferability, whether legal, contractual or of other

types, these fiscal adjustments have been considered as permanent differences in the Group and, consequently, one fifth of the corresponding Corporate Tax expense has been recognized as payable as a tax liability to the Treasury.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group, whose operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished from the rest (operationally and for financial reporting purposes), that has been disposed or classified as held for sale and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area from the Group.
The income and expenses of the discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated income statement under "Result after tax from discontinued operations".
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are considered to be groups of assets directly associated with them, to be disposed of together as a group in a single transaction, on which it is estimate that its realization is highly likely and within twelve months from the date of their classification under this heading and up to the date on which the requirements established in IFRS 5 are no longer complied with.
Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from other assets and measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Likewise, liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately form the other liabilities.
The Group recognizes, on the one hand, goods and services received as an asset or as an expenditure, taking into account its nature at the time it is obtained and, on the other hand, the corresponding increase in equity if the transaction is settled with equity instruments, or the corresponding liabilities if the transaction is obligatory settled in cash with an amount based on the value of equity instruments.
In the case of transactions settled with equity instruments, both the services provided and increases in equity are valued at the fair value of the equity realized, as of the date of the agreement to realize it (date of communication of objectives). Conversely, in case of settlement with cash, goods and services received and the corresponding liabilities are recognized at the fair value of the latter as of the date on which the requirements for their recognition are met.
The provisions corresponding to employment termination plans, such as pre-retirements and other terminations, are calculated individually based on the conditions agreed with the employees, which may at times require the application of actuarial valuations, considering both demographic and financial hypotheses.

PRISA does not have a set dividend policy, and so the Group's distribution of dividends is reviewed annually. In this respect, the distribution of dividends depends mainly on (i) the existence of profit that can be distributed and the Company's financial situation, (ii) its obligations regarding debt servicing and those arising from commitments acquired with its financial creditors in the Group's financing contracts, (iii) the generation of cash arising from its normal course of business, (iv) the existence or non-existence of attractive investment opportunities that could generate value for the Group's shareholders, (v) the Group's reinvestment needs, (vi) the implementation of PRISA's business plan, and (vii) other factors PRISA should consider relevant at any given time.
The consolidated annual accounts of the Group are presented in euros, which is also the functional currency of the Company. Each Group entity determines its own functional currency and the items included in the financial statements of each company are valued using that functional currency.
Initially, the Group companies record transactions in foreign currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction in their respective functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect on the closing date. All differences arising when settling or converting monetary items are recorded in the consolidated income statement in the heading "Exchange differences (net)".
The Group calculates the basic result per share using the weighed average of outstanding shares during the period. The calculation of the diluted result per share also includes the dilutive effect, where applicable, of the equity options granted during the period. In this case, there will be a dilutive effect of the result of the fiscal year or period is positive.
In accordance with IAS 8, the Group has identify two business segment:
The Group's activities are located in Europe and America. The activity in Europe is mainly carried out in Spain. The activity in America is carried out in more than 20 countries, mainly in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Argentina.
Debts are recognized at their effective amount and debts due to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as current items and those due to be settled within more than twelve months as non-current items.

The following terms are used in the consolidated statements of cash flows with the meanings specified:
The Group is committed, through its Sustainability Policy and Environmental Policy, approved in December 2018 (amended in November 2020 and February 2022) and February 2021, respectively, to support the fight against climate change through the effective management of resources and taking into consideration the potential risks arising from resources, as well as through the monitoring and assessment of the environmental impact that its activity may generate. It includes the Group's commitment to compliance with applicable environmental legislation, the development of continuous improvement actions, environmental awareness when undertaking its activities and those of its business partners, customers and suppliers. Along these lines, in 2022, the 2022-2025 Sustainability Master Plan approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA last October includes as one of its environmental objectives the design of an environmental management plan in 2023 and a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality in 2035.
The Group's activities have no direct impact on biodiversity or protected areas. In its activity, the precautionary principle prevails, always trying to minimise risks in order to prevent damage from occurring.
The evaluation of these commitments indicates that the Group does not have any environmental liability, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that might be material with respect to its equity, financial position or results.

The column "Monetary adjustment" includes the effect of hyperinflation in Venezuela and Argentina in 2022 and 2021. Furthermore, the column "Translation adjustment" includes the impact of exchange rates variation in Latin America, highlighting the contribution in 2022 of México, Brazil and Argentina (Argentina, Chile and Colombia in 2021).

In 2021, the most significant changes were due to the withdrawal of Distribuciones Aliadas, S.A. from the scope of consolidation in December 2021.
The most significant additions in 2022 were as follows:
In fiscal year 2022, the withdrawals of financially leased constructions are mainly due to the abandonment of several buildings of the Miguel Yuste complex (Madrid) in accordance with the agreement in force.
In 2022 and 2021, the withdrawals in fix assets in property were primarily due to the removal of totally depreciated assets.
In December 2021 the Group formalized, among other things, a renegotiation of the lease agreements for its offices in Miguel Yuste (Madrid), Gran Vía (Madrid) and Caspe (Barcelona), which entailed, among other things, the early exit of three of the buildings in the Miguel Yuste complex, a reduction in the minimum duration of the current lease agreements and a reduction in future lease payments.
In addition, the renegotiation of the Miguel Yuste contract entailed a supplementary fee in December 2021 of EUR 20 million. This was mainly associated with the early exit of the buildings, and the impact of which incorporated into the recalculation of the lease liability and right-of-use asset described below. Its effect on the consolidated income statement as at December 31, 2021 was EUR 12.7 million, recorded under "Depreciation and amortization charge". This impact corresponded to the portion of the fee associated with the buildings for which the effective exit took place before December 31, 2021. Its effect on the consolidated income statement as at December 31, 2022 has been approximately EUR 1.2 million and corresponds, mainly, the portion of the fee associated with the buildings for which the effective exit took place before the end of 2022, with the remainder being charged to the consolidated income statement in the following years, as the associated right-of-use asset is amortised, considering the estimated effective exit of the remaining buildings.

In accordance with IFRS 16, the amendment of the above leases was not accounted for as a separate lease. Still, at the effective date of the lease amendment (December 2021), the lease liability associated with such contracts was recalculated and reduced by considering the effects described above and reducing the corresponding right-of-use asset by an amount (net of accumulated amortisation) of approximately EUR 28 million.
Transfers-
In 2021, the transfer column mainly included the balances of property, plant and equipment of Caracol Broadcasting, Inc as of March 2021, the date when the assets of this company were reclassified to "Non-current assets held for sale".
During 2022 During 2022, losses due to deterioration are mainly due to the deterioration in the value of a building in the Media segment in Argentina.
During 2021, no significant impairments were recognized in property, plant and equipment.
The balance in the property, plant and equipment in lease, mainly correspond with the activation of the contract leases of offices and warehouses of the Group for a net amount of EUR 47,440 thousand as of December 31, 2022 (EUR 53,298 thousand as of December 31, 2021). In addition, Education includes technological equipment in lease for use in the classroom by students and teachers integrated into teaching systems for a net amount of EUR 7,408 thousand, in the heading "Other items of property, plant and equipment" (EUR 8,206 thousand as of December 31, 2021).
The property, plant and equipment amortization expense recorded in 2022 totalled EUR 33,817 thousand (EUR 41,910 thousand in 2021) of which EUR 24,696 thousand corresponding to the amortization of property, plant and equipment held under leases (EUR 33,604 thousand in 2021).
There are no restrictions on holding title to the property, plant, and equipment.
There are no significant future property, plant, and equipment purchase commitments.
At December 31, 2021, the PRISA Group´s assets included fully amortized property, plant, and equipment amounting to EUR 128,097 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 129,390 thousand).
The Group companies take out insurance policies to cover the potential risks to which the various items of property, plant, and equipment are exposed. At December 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021, the insurance policies taken out sufficiently covered the related risks.

In 2021, as part of the corporate reorganisation at Santillana to separate its public and private activities, the private business which up to that point had been carried out by Editora Moderna Ltda. was transferred to Santillana Educaçao Ltda., and the former retained the public business. This meant that both companies become two independent cash-generating units, and so the goodwill up to that point was distributed between Editora Moderna Ltda. (public business) and Santillana Educaçao Ltda. (private business). The valuation of both businesses according to future projections were used to carry out this distribution.

At the end of each reporting period, or whenever there are indications of impairment, the Group tests goodwill for impairment to determine whether it has suffered any permanent loss in value that reduces its recoverable amount of goodwill at an amount less than the net cost recorded.
To perform the above mentioned impairment test, the goodwill is allocated to one or more cashgenerating units. The recoverable amount of each cash- generating unit is the higher of value in use and the net selling price that would be obtained from the assets associated with the cashgenerating unit. In the case of the main cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated (Editora Moderna, Ltda., Santillana Educaçao, Ltda., Grupo Latino de Radiodifusión Chile, Ltda., Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L. and Propulsora Montañesa, S.A.), their recoverable amount is their value in use.
Value in use was calculated on the basis of the estimated future cash flows based on the business plans most recently elaborated by management. These business plans include the best estimates available of income and costs of the cash-generating units using industry projections and future expectations.
These projections cover the following five years and include a terminal value that is appropriate for each business, applying a constant expected growth rate ranging from 0% to 2.5%, as in 2021. The expected growth rates that have been used in the most relevant impairment tests are the following:

These growth rates are reasonable and are in accordance with the country and market in which the Group operates, and do not exceed the long-term growth estimated with their projections, in due consideration of the maturity of the businesses concerned.
In order to calculate the present value of these flows, they are discounted at a rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital employed adjusted for the country risk and business risk corresponding to each cash-generating unit. Therefore, in 2022 the rates used ranged from 9% y 53% (7% and 34% in 2021) depending on the business being analysed. The rates that have been used for the most relevant impairment tests are the following:
Rates increased in 2022 mainly due to an increase in the risk-free rate of the countries and the cost of debt, motivated by the growth of the current macroeconomic scenario.
There follows a description of the main revenue levers for these businesses, as a key hypothesis for drawing up their projections, with the additional consideration that it is the variable with the largest component of judgment for the estimate:
Trend in public procurement cycles – Management has taken account of the historic trend in this variable, chiefly in relation to public procurement orders on Brazil's National Books and Teaching Material Programme – PNLD - and has considered a continuist trend, moving forward.
For informational purposes, the CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of the revenue due to book sales in the period considered in the forecasts of fiscal year 2022 is approximately one percentage point higher than the ones used in the deterioration test for fiscal year 2021. For this aspect, it must be considered that this business is impacted by educational cycles.
Trend in the private teaching market – Management has adjusted its projections for the education market to the new circumstances of the macroeconomic environment in Brazil and the education sector. In this regard, in due consideration of the estimates of growth of student numbers in teaching systems and the transformation undergone by education in the wake of the pandemic, with hybrid teaching models (in situ and virtual), it was considered that this market will continue to grow in the years ahead.

For informational purposes, the CAGR of the revenue due to sales of educational systems in the period considered in the forecasts of fiscal year 2022 is approximately two percentage points lower than the ones used in the deterioration test for fiscal year 2021. For this aspect, it must be considered that growth rates go down from the previous year since this growth has stabilised after the pandemic.
Trend in the advertising market – Management has adjusted its projections for the advertising market to the new macroeconomic environment in Spain and Chile, and in the advertising sector in particular. In this regard, the estimates drawn up by PwC in its "Global Entertainment & Media Outlook" report have been taken into account, and consideration has been given to a market base which will expand over the next five years, after hitting its lowest point in 2020 due to the impact of the pandemic and considering the current macroeconomic circumstances, derived from the impact of the invasion of Ukraine. The Group has also taken its past experience in the radio sector into account and has also considered its positioning (market shares).
Finally, for information purposes, the CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of advertising revenue of the period considered in the 2022 projections is approximately one percentage point higher than those used in the 2021 impairment test for Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L. In the case of Grupo Latino de Radiodifusión Chile, Ltda. the CAGR is similar in both years.
Turning to the rest of the variables in the impairment tests, such as investment in working capital, fixed capital, lease payments and tax payments, the estimate is primarily based on historic and current experience or in correlation with other variables (earnings, results etc.).
In accordance with the estimates and projections available to the Company's Directors, the expected future cash flows allocable to the cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated indicate that the net value of each goodwill allocated as of December 31, 2022 may be recovered.
The Group has executed a sensitivity analysis for a 0.5 point increase in the discount rate and a 0.5 point decrease in the growth rate, which is considered reasonable, based on the past experience and considering that the adverse effects of COVID-19 and the invasion of Ukraine are already included in the preparation of the financial projections. Likewise, a sensitivity analysis is included in the face of a 5% decrease in the main revenues of the businesses.
Editora Moderna, Ltda.
To determine the sensitivity of the calculation of value in use to changes in the basic assumptions, the discount rate has been increased by 0.5%. In this case, the recoverable value would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 68 million. In the event that the

expected growth rate from the fifth year was reduced by 0.5%, the recoverable amount would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 66 million.
Also, assuming a 5% reduction in estimates of growth in earnings from books and training, the recoverable value would exceed the book value at December 31, 2022 by approximately EUR 46 million.
Santillana Educaçao, Ltda.
To determine the sensitivity of the calculation of value in use to changes in the basic assumptions, the discount rate has been increased by 0.5%. In this case, the recoverable value would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 55 million. In the event that the expected growth rate from the fifth year was reduced by 0.5%, the recoverable amount would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 57 million.
Also, assuming a 5% reduction in estimates of growth in earnings from books and training, the recoverable value would exceed the book value at December 31, 2022 by approximately EUR 30 million.
Grupo Latino de Radiodifusión Chile, Ltda.
To determine the sensitivity of the calculation of value in use to changes in the basic assumptions, the discount rate has been increased by 0.5%. In this case, the recoverable value would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 2 million. In the event that the expected growth rate from the fifth year was reduced by 0.5%, the recoverable amount would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 3 million.
Also, assuming a 5% reduction in estimates of growth in earnings from advertising, the recoverable value would be lower the book value by approximately EUR 3 million at December 31, 2022.
Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L. and Propulsora Montañesa, S.A.
To determine the sensitivity of the calculation of value in use to changes in the basic assumptions, the discount rate has been increased by 0.5%. In this case, the recoverable value would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 106 million. In the event that the expected growth rate from the fifth year was reduced by 0.5%, the recoverable amount would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 109 million.
Also, assuming a 5% reduction in estimates of growth in earnings from advertising, the recoverable value would exceed the book value by approximately EUR 39 million at December 31, 2022.

Monetary adjustment and translation adjustment-
The column "Monetary adjustment" includes the effect of hyperinflation in Argentina y Venezuela in 2022 and 2021. Furthermore, the column "Translation adjustment" includes the impact of exchange rates variation in Latin America, highlighting the contribution in 2022 of Brazil (Chile and Colombia in 2021).

The most significant additions in 2022 were as follows:
Grupo Santillana derecognized, in 2022, EUR 13,619 thousand of fully depreciated prototypes (December 31, 2021: EUR 1,809 thousand) as well as other already deteriorated prototypes.
Additionally, in 2022 and 2021, the different business segments derecognized fully depreciated or impairment computer software.
Withdrawal of other intangible assets on lease in fiscal year 2022 and 2021 corresponds, primarily, to the termination of radio frequency lease contracts that had expired and were completely amortized.
In 2022 and 2021, impairments of book prototypes were recorded, mainly in Santillana Brazil, for an amount of EUR 1,721 thousand and EUR 3,113 thousand, respectively.
The net amount of the leases of administrative concessions of Radio amounting to EUR 10,132 thousand at December 31, 2022 (EUR 9,445 thousand in 2021).
The intangible asset amortization expense recorded in 2022 totalled EUR 37,192 thousand (EUR 36,407 thousand in 2021), of which EUR 4,157 thousand corresponding to the amortization of intangible assets held under leases (EUR 4,092 thousand in 2021).
"Other intangible assets" include administrative concessions acquired whose book value amounts to EUR 21,589 thousand (EUR 22,199 thousand in 2021), which are considered to be intangible assets with indefinite useful lives because it is highly probable that they will be renewed and the related costs are not material. That concessions correspond mainly to Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L. and Grupo Latino de Radiodifusión Chile, Ltda.
At the end of each reporting period, the residual useful life of these concessions is analyzed in order to ensure that it continues to be indefinite; if this is not the case, the concessions are amortized.
At December 31, 2022, the PRISA Group's assets included fully amortized intangible assets amounting to EUR 188,157 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 182,277 thousand).
There are no restrictions on holding title to the intangible assets.
There are no future relevant intangible asset purchase commitments other than those indicated in note 24.

Column "Changes to the scope of consolidation" and "Share results" of other companies includes mainly the effect of withdrawing from the scope of consolidation of El Dorado Broadcasting Corporation and its investee company WSUA Broadcasting Corporation, as well as Green Emerald Business, Inc. and Planet Events, S.A. The effect on the net result of fiscal year 2022 of the Group is not significant taking into account that, although own negative net equity of these subsidiaries were provisioned (see note 12), the financial credits that were granted have been written off as described in note 11 a) (see note 3).

The principal objective of the Group's capital management policy is to achieve an appropriate capital structure (Equity and debt) that guarantees the sustainability of its business, aligning shareholder interests with those of its various financial creditors.
In this way, in recent years, the Company's directors have taken a series of measures to strengthen the Group's financial and equity structure, focusing on profitable growth and value generation as described below.
On June 29, 2020, the PRISA´s General Shareholder Meeting agreed to reduce in share capital of the Parent Company in order to reestablish its equity balance.
On October 19, 2020, PRISA, through its subsidiary Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L.U. ("Santillana"), signed an agreement with the Sanoma Corporation, a European learning and

Finnish media company, for the sale of the Spanish educational business of Santillana addressed at pre K12 and K-12 segments. On December 31, 2020, the transaction was close.
In February 2022 the Board of Directors of PRISA has approved, by unanimity, the signing of a lock-up agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") that incorporates a term sheet with the basic conditions for the amendment of the Group's syndicated financial debt (the "Refinancing"). The basic terms of the agreed Refinancing consist, among other aspects, in the extension of the maturity of the financial debt to 2026 and 2027 and division of the syndicated loan into two differentiated tranches (one of Senior debt and one of Junior debt) and the flexibilization of the contractual commitments of the current debt that will allow, among other improvements, to increase PRISA's operating flexibility and soften the financial ratios required by its current contracts. Likewise, a Term Sheet has been signed with the basic conditions for the modification of the Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement") of the Company that, among other terms, supposes an extension of the maturity of the debt to June 2026. On April 19, 2022, the Refinancing entered into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors had concluded.
Finally, in January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the Company, with pre-emptive subscription rights for PRISA shareholders. This issue took place through a public offer for subscription of up to a total of EUR 130 million. In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, i.e. the full amount of the offer.
The issue has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche (see note 11b). This has entailed an amortization in February 2023 of EUR 110 million of the aforementioned Junior debt. This issuance improves the equity position of the Group insofar as the aforementioned instrument has been deemed a compound financial instrument, in which virtually the entire amount of the cash received from said issuance has been registered as net equity, given that the stock of debentures will be necessarily converted into new shares of the Company at a fixed exchange rate (see notes 1 and 26).
As of December 31, 2022, the equity of the parent Company is greater than two thirds of total share capital, which is why it was in a situation of equity balance at that date.

The changes in "Non-current financial assets" in the consolidated balance sheet in 2022 by type of transaction are as follows:
In 2022, in "Financial assets at amortized cost", the decrease in "Loans and receivables" is mainly due to the cancellation of the loans granted to Green Emerald Business, after the sale of the company, for a net amount of EUR 2,405 thousand (see notes 3 and 8).
The decrease in "Other financial assets at amortized cost" is mainly due to the written off a financial investment related to the participation of Prisa Radio in the associated companies El Dorado Broadcasting Corporation and WSUA Broadcasting Corporation as a result of their sale for an amount of EUR 1,411 thousand (see notes 3 and 8).
The relation to the addition in "Financial investments at fair value with changes in results" is due to an interest rate hedge arranged by PRISA of a nominal amount of EUR 150 million which caps the three-month Euribor at 2.25%. According to applicable accounting standards and the Company's analysis, it does not believe that the arranged product meets requirements to be considered effective, and so the change in the fair value of the hedge is posted to the consolidated income statement for each period. The amount recorded as at December 31, 2022 is the fair value of that financial instrument at the end of 2022, the same to the amount paid for arranging this hedge and which was pending being posted in the consolidated income statement during its validity period (until June 2025) (see section Market risk - interest rate). In this regard, the expense recorded in 2022 totaled EUR 823 thousand (see note 15).

In 2021 the decreased in the heading "Non-Current Financial Assets" was mainly due to the shortterm transfer of EUR 1,000 thousand pending collection in 2022 as part of framed within the agreement to sell the credit rights held by the Group with Le Monde.
Meanwhile, under "Other financial assets at amortised cost" the totally provisioned investment in V-Me Media Inc was derecognised in the amount of EUR 3,300 thousand, following the sale of the stake in July 2021, with no major impact on the consolidated income statement.
The carrying amount of the financial assets does not vary significantly from their fair value.

On the other hand, the decrease in "Other financial assets at amortized costs" was mainly due to the collection of indemnity deposits for the favorable resolution of the ERE lawsuits in the Media segment (EUR 2,853 thousand) and the collection of part of the dividend of Sistema Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V. that was pending at December 31, 2020 (EUR 1,621 thousand).

Of the total bank borrowings at December 31, 2022, 98.30% were denominated in euros (98.50% at December 31, 2021) and the remainder in foreign currencies.

The nominal average interest rates on the Group's bank borrowings were 6.53% in 2022 and 5.25% in 2021.
Of the total bank borrowings at December 31, 2022, 97.67% were linked to floating interest rates and the rest to fixed ones (97.58% to floating interest at December 31, 2021).
In accordance with IFRS 13, to determine the theoretical calculation of the fair value of the financial debt we used the listed value of the debt on the secondary market as reported by an independent third party (level 1 variable: estimates using prices listed in active markets) has been used. The fair value of the Junior and Senior Syndicated Loan, Super Senior debt and of the accrued interest pending to be paid, according to this calculation, would amount to EUR 910,288 thousand at December 31, 2022 considering a 10.72% average discount over the real principal payment obligation and accrued interests to the creditor entities.
In February 2022 the Board of Directors of PRISA approved, by unanimity, the signing of a lock-up agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") that incorporated a term sheet with the basic conditions for the amendment of the Group's syndicated financial debt (the "Refinancing"). On April 19, 2022, the Refinancing has entered into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors were concluded.
Therefore, in the context of the Refinancing of its financial debt, PRISA agreed on the novation of its syndicated loan ("2013 Override Agreement") for a total amount of EUR 751,114 thousand, which has been structured in two tranches with the following characteristics:

The agreed Refinancing makes the Company's financial debt more flexible and provides a financial structure allowing the Company to comply with its financial commitments, ensuring the Company's stability in the short and medium term.
Likewise, the Refinancing agreement has entailed a reorganisation of the debt in terms of borrowers, so that the financial debt previously held by Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U. has been transferred to PRISA.
Compliance with certain financial ratios is established in the financial agreements for the PRISA Group, which application begins on June 30, 2022. These contracts also include provisions on cross-default, which could cause, if the breach exceeds certain amounts, the early maturity and resolution of the contract in question. Since the Refinancing come into force no such breaches have occurred, nor are foreseen in the next twelve months.
The Refinancing agreement also includes causes for early termination as is customary in this kind of agreement, including the acquisition of control of PRISA, acquisition being understood as by one or several persons together, with more than 30% of the capital with voting rights (excluding for such purposes the current significant shareholders of the Company).
Finally, within the Refinancing agreement, and in relation to the distribution of dividends of the Company, these are subject to the limitations and commitments acquired with the financial creditors.
The guarantee structure for the syndicated financial debt is as follows:
The Senior and Junior Debt, as it was refinanced in April 2022, is jointly and severally guaranteed by Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. and the companies Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U. Diario El País, S.L., Grupo de Medios Impresos y Digitales, S.L.U., Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L., Prisa Media, S.A.U. and Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L.U.
Likewise, and in accordance with the Refinancing agreement, Prisa Activos Educativos and Prisa Media have been transformed into public limited companies, previously limited liability companies.
As a result of the Refinancing, PRISA has currently pledged certain current accounts held by it, and, in addition, the guarantors have pledged, as appropriate, shares and equity interests in certain Group companies and certain bank accounts held by them, all as security for the aforementioned creditors.
Part of PRISA's investment in Prisa Radio, S.A. (80% share capital) and the 100% of the investments (100% share capital) in Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U. (Sole proprietorship), Prisa Media, S.A.U. (Sole proprietorship), Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L.U. (Sole proprietorship) and Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L.U insuring syndicated debt.

Similarly, given its significance in the group, a real guarantee has been constituted over 100% of the shares of Editora Moderna Ltda. (Brazil).
The Company has carried out an analysis of the terms agreed in the framework of the Refinancing, concluding that they constitute a substantial modification of the previous terms from a qualitative point of view, inter alia, due to the existence of a refinancing, structuring and underwriting fee that can be paid in shares, the modification of the collateral structure and the flexibility to perform certain sales transactions. This has meant that the original financial liability has been cancelled, and a new liability from the Refinancing has been recognised. The initial recognition of the financial liability has been at fair value, which has led to the recognition of financial income in the amount of EUR 38,285 thousand in the heading "Value variation of financial instruments" of the consolidated income statements, for the difference between the nominal value of the debt and its fair value on the date of initial recognition. For this purpose, the listed value of the debt in the secondary market has been used, according to information provided by a third party on the date of the Refinancing agreement going public (level 1 variable, estimates using prices listed in active markets). The fair value of the Refinancing debt at that date and according to this calculation would amount to EUR 722,169 thousand. Thereafter, the difference between the par value of the debt and its initial fair value will be expensed in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest method.
In addition, all expenses and fees related to the Refinancing have been recognised in the heading "Loan arrangement costs" in the consolidated income statement as, including, among others, the form of upfront discounting ("OID"), consent fees and others fees for an amount of EUR 23,505 thousand. In this sense, the refinancing, structuring and underwriting fee which the Company has chosen to pay through the issue of shares discussed above has been treated from the beginning of the Refinancing as an equity instruments, as the method of settlement is at the discretion of the Company. This has resulted in recording a financial expense in the heading "Loan arrangement costs" of EUR 20,288 thousand, with a credit to consolidated equity (see note 10). For this purpose, the 32 million shares to be issued have been valued at the listed price of the PRISA share on the date the Refinancing agreement was made public.
Finally, a positive impact has been accounted under the heading "Value variation of financial instruments " of the financial result for an amount of EUR 23,434 thousand, associated with the derecognition of the original financial liability for interest accrued in previous periods (which accrues at effective interest rate ("TIE")) that do not have to be paid (see note 15).
In addition to the above Senior and Junior loans, the Company signed on April 8, 2022 a Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement for a maximum amount of up to EUR 240,000 thousand. This agreement implies an extension of its maturity until June 30, 2026, with a cost indexed to Euribor + 5% payable in cash. This is the 1, 3 or 6-month Euribor, depending on the interest settlement window chosen by the Company at each maturity. In addition, the amendment of the agreement has led to a change of lender.
Out of the total amount of super senior debt, EUR 160,000 thousand are for the new Super Senior term loan facility, drawn down at the time of the refinance and used to fully cancel the previous Super Senior debt, for the amount on April 19, and EUR 80,000 thousand are for a

renewable credit facility, the Super Senior revolving facility, used to meet operational needs, which was not drawn down as at December 31, 2021. In the last quarter of 2022, the Company had drawn down all of the revolving facility amounting to EUR 80,000 thousand, meaning that as at December 31, 2022 the Super Senior debt had been fully drawn down.
The collateral structure of this Super Senior debt is the same as that referred to above in respect of the Company's Senior and Junior debt, such that the creditors of this debt and the creditors of the syndicated debt share the same collateral package. However, the Super Senior debt has a preferential ranking for collection and enforcement of collateral over the Senior and Junior debt in the event of a default under the financing agreements.
In addition, the costs related to cancelling the Super Senior Debt with the previous lender have been recognised in the heading "Other financial costs" of the accompanying consolidated income statement as a financial expense (see note 15). The costs associated with arranging the debt with the new lender have been capitalised and are taken to the income statement over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.
Under this heading are included mainly the amounts drawn down against credit lines used to finance the PRISA Group companies' operating requirements. Borrowing facilities are recognized under "Bank borrowings" on the consolidated balance sheet. The interest rate applicable to these credit facilities is Euribor or Libor plus a market spread.
In relation to credit risk, the Group assesses the age of the trade receivables (see note 9b) and constantly monitors the management of the receivables and payables associated with all its activities, as well the maturities of financial and commercial debt and repeatedly analyses other financing methods in the aim of covering planned cash requirements in the short, medium and long-term.
Businesses which rely heavily on advertising have a high percentage of fixed costs, and any decline in advertising revenues has major implications for margins and the cash position, making it difficult to implement additional measures to improve Group operating efficiency. Likewise, the nature of the Education business means that there are concentrated periods of collections around certain dates, mainly during the final months of each year. The aforementioned creates seasonality in Santillana's cash flow. While the seasonality of the Group's cash flow is not significant, so far as the flows coming from the various business units largely compensate each other and thereby mitigating the seasonality effect, the aforementioned could lead to certain cash tensions during the periods in which the collections are structurally lower.
The management of liquidity risk includes the detailed monitoring of the repayment schedule of the Group's borrowings and the maintenance of credit lines and other financing channels that enable it to cover foreseeable cash needs at short, medium and long term. In this respect,

the Group has a Super Senior loan to meet operational needs and other subsidiaries of the Group have credit facilities for that purpose.
The table below details the liquidity analysis of the PRISA Group in 2022 in relation to its bank borrowings, which represent substantially all the financial liabilities. The table has been prepared using the cash outflows of the contractually stipulated maturities and the early amortization of the Junior debt in February 2023 for an amount of EUR 110 million mentioned in note 26. The flows include both the expected repayments and interest payments. When the settlement is not fixed, the amount was determined using the underlings calculated based on the most recent available interest rate curve:

The Group's main financial liabilities are the Junior and Senior debt and the Super Senior Debt, which are linked to the Euribor. An increase in the Euribor would directly impact interest paid, as a result of multiplying said increase by the nominal of past loans, except for a debt nominal of EUR 150 million, which, at December 31, 2022, is covered by an interest rate coverage that limits the increase of the Euribor in 3 months to 2.25%, as described below. Moreover, in January 2023, a new coverage has been contracted, in this case, for a nominal amount of EUR 150 million and a 2.5% cap (3-month Euribor). Therefore, as of the creation of these consolidated financial statements, the notional value of the debt covered by previous coverages amounts to EUR 300 million.
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates mainly due to financial investments made in stakes in American companies, as well as revenue and profits from said investments.
The impact on the Group's operating income and operating profit for the year 2022 in the event of a change of +/-10% in the exchange rate of the main currencies is presented below:

In this context, and in the aim of mitigating this risk, if there are credit lines available the Group adheres to the practice of formalizing hedge contracts for exchange rate variations (mainly forex insurance, 'forwards' and options on currencies) based on its monthly analyzed forecasts and budgets, in order to reduce the volatility of cash flows in the distribution of dividends from subsidiaries that operate in currencies other than the euro.
The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates as around 97.67% of its bank borrowings bear interest at floating rates.
In this regard, the Group is assessing the need to execute interest rate coverage contracts based on its forecasts. At the end of fiscal year 2022 and within the scope of the debt associated to refinancing, the Company has a contracted coverage of a nominal amount of EUR 150 million that limits the impact of any increase in the Euribor (cap) above 2.25% (3-month Euribor). Should the Euribor drop below said percentage, the aforementioned coverage would not apply.
The previous section of "Liquidity risk" contains an analysis of risk for the payment of interest tied to floating interest rates.

Analysis of sensitivity to exchange rates
The changes in the fair value of the foreign currency hedges arranged by the PRISA Group depend on fluctuations in the EUR/BRL, USD/CLP, BRL/CLP and EUR/USD exchange rates.
Following is a detail, in thousands of euros, of the sensitivity (changes in fair value) of the foreign currency hedges:
| Sensitivity (before tax) | 12/31/2022 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| +10% (increase in USD exchange rate) | (9) | ||
| -10% (decrease in USD exchange rate) | 11 |
The sensitivity analysis shows that the exchange rate derivatives shows decreases in their fair value, in the event of increases in exchange rates, while in the event of decreases in exchange rates, the fair value of these derivatives would increases.
The application of IFRS 16 Leases implies the registered of financial liabilities associated with the leases, amounting at December 31, 2022 to EUR 52,006 thousand in the long term and EUR 17,150 thousand in the short term (EUR 53,766 thousand in the long term and EUR 15,555 thousand in the short term at December 31, 2021).

The "Provision for taxes" relates to the estimated amount of tax debts arising from the tax audit carried out at various Group companies.

In 2021, the decrease in the tax provision was mainly due to the completion of the 2016 to 2018 corporation tax audits of the 2/91 tax consolidation group, with no significant impact on the consolidated income statement (see note 18).
The "Provision for indemnities" includes the provision booked in the previous years to record the probable or certain responsibilities arising from workers' compensation to terminate their labor relations which are payable in future years, but for which a valid expectation has been created among the affected employees in the year in which they are endowed (see note 14).
During fiscal year 2022, the Group established a reserve for this item amounting to EUR 1,221 thousand (EUR 7,036 million during fiscal year 2021), has applied EUR 77 thousand (EUR 2,488 thousand in fiscal year 2021) as a result of the payment of compensations and issuance of promissory notes, and has transferred EUR 2,011 thousand to short-term that will be paid in 2023. The Group expects to apply this provision over the next six fiscal years.
The provision established in fiscal year 2022 comes from the Education segment. On the other hand, the increase that took place in fiscal year 2021 corresponded mainly to staff restructuring processes carried out in the Media segment during that year.
The provision accounted in 2021, EUR 5,995 thousand correspond to an early retirement plan in Media that was calculated based on an actuarial calculation with the following technical basis:
The "Provision for third-party liability and other" relates to the estimated amount required to meet probable claims and litigation brought against Group companies and other future obligations to employees. In addition, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group had ownership interests in companies accounted for using the equity method which net value is negative and is recognized under "Long-term provisions" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the detail being as follows (see note 8):

In 2022, as a result of the sale of the stakes in Green Emerald Business, Inc, WSUA Broadcasting Corporation, El Dorado Broadcasting Corporation and Planet Events, S.A. described in note 3, the provisions associated with these companies have been derecognized, amounting to EUR 5,337 thousand.
In view of the nature of the contingencies covered by these provisions, it is not possible to determine a reasonable payment schedule, if indeed there is one, or their financial effect. However, the PRISA Group's legal advisers and directors consider that the outcome of these procedures and claims will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the years in which they come to an end additional to the amount provisioned in the accounting records.

The severance expenses in 2021 was significant due to the reorganization of the Group into two business units, which led to changes in Senior Management and integration of structures, to the contingency plans carried out to alleviate the effects of COVID-19 in that year, and to the continuous renewal of profiles based on the needs of businesses that continue to transform digitally.

Transactions with payments based on equity instruments
At the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2018, a Medium-Term Incentive Plan was approved for the period between 2018 and 2020, consisting of the delivery of Company shares associated on the one hand, with the performance of the stock exchange value and, on the other hand, the achievement of certain economic objectives (EBITDA and Cash Flow) (nondiscriminatory conditions), aimed at the CEO of PRISA (Mr. Manuel Mirat Santiago) and certain directors, who may could have received a certain number of ordinary shares of the Company after a reference period of 3 years and provided that certain pre-defined requirements were met. At the beginning of the Plan, the Company assigned a certain number of "theoretical shares" ("Restricted Stock Units") to each beneficiary, which was served as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered.
In 2021 PRISA's Board of Directors verified the degree of achievement of the Ebitda and Cash Flow objectives referred to in the Plan, approving the number of shares to be delivered to the beneficiaries for settlement (a total of 2,115,328 shares).
At the request of the Plan beneficiaries, the Board of Directors resolved that settlement and delivery of this compensation be delayed until January-February 2022 (according to the general conditions that regulated this compensation plan, delivery should have been made within 60 days to the formulation of the 2020 annual accounts).
The Plan payout was made in February 2022, through delivery of shares or their cash-value equivalent, according to the preference of each of the plan beneficiaries. In total, 905,302 PRISA shares were delivered and EUR 703 thousand in cash payments were made, including the tax. In 2022 the Company's net equity figure was reduced due to the cash paid out (EUR 703 thousands).
The decision to give the beneficiaries the option of a cash payment was made by PRISA's Delegated Committee, at the proposal of the Appointments, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, on January 25, 2022. That possibility was provided for in the General Conditions that govern the Incentive Plan. The cash value of the shares was calculated based on the share trading price on the day the decision was made (January 25, 2022).
The Executive Director of Santillana, Mr Francisco Cuadrado (who is, in turn, executive director of PRISA) is the beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in Santillana's budget (linked to EBIT and Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is payable in shares. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA on May 24, 2022, and was also approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
Mr Cuadrado has been granted with a theoretical number of shares equivalent to EUR 500 thousand gross for each year of the plan's duration, which will serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered (he has been assigned 923,494 theoretical shares for each year of the Plan, that is, a total of 3,693,976 theoretical shares). The calculations have been made considering the average stock market value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.

In addition, the incentive may be increased depending on the evolution of PRISA's share price.
In 2022, an expense of EUR 166 thousand has been recorded based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
The Executive Director of PRISA Media, Mr Carlos Nuñez (who is, in turn, executive director of PRISA) is the beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA Media's budget (linked to EBITDA, Cash Flow and digital revenues) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is payable in shares. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA on December 21, 2021 and was subsequently modified by the Board (to extend it until 2025 in line with the Company's Strategic Plan) and was also approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
Mr Nuñez has been granted with a theoretical number of shares equivalent to EUR 500 thousand gross for each year of the plan's duration, which will serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered (he has been assigned 923,494 theoretical shares for each year of the Plan, that is, a total of 3,693,976 theoretical shares). The calculations have been made considering the average stock market value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
In addition, the incentive may be increased depending on the evolution of PRISA's share price.
In 2022, an expense of EUR 59 thousand has been recorded for this Plan, based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
PRISA´s former CFO Mr David Mesonero (who has resigned from this position as of June 30, 2022) has been beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA in December 21, 2021, and was subsequently amended on April 26, 2022, by the Board (to extend it until 2025, in line with the Company's Strategic Plan).
Mr. Mesonero had been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021. The incentive may likewise increased in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
The Plan also envisioned an increment if refinancing was achieved in the terms set forth in the Plan. Refinancing was implemented in April 2022, and expense of EUR 193 thousand was recorded, based on the performance of this refinancing objective and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.

This Plan was terminated at the time of termination of Mr. Mesonero's contractual relationship with the Company.
In 2022, Mr. Mesonero has received, in shares, the part of the Plan that was linked to the Company's refinancing objective.
PRISA´s CFO, Ms Pilar Gil is beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to the adjusted Cash Flow of Grupo PRISA) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares, in similar terms to those of his predecessor in office, Mr. David Mesonero, but with the necessary adaptations. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2022.
Ms. Gil has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
Likewise the incentive may likewise increase in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
It was registered an expense of EUR 103, based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
At its meeting held on April 26, 2022, PRISA's Board of Directors approved a medium-term incentive plan benefiting some PRISA Media, Santillana and PRISA executives. Only one of the members of the senior management group is a beneficiary of this Plan.
The Plan, payable in shares, is linked to the fulfillment of the following quantitative financial objectives, in the years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025: i) in the case of PRISA Media, the objectives are linked to EBITDA, Cash Flow and digital income of its budget; ii) in the case of Santillana are linked to the EBIT and Cash Flow of its budget and iii) in the case of PRISA are linked to the adjusted cash flow of Prisa Group of its budget.
Each management group in PRISA Media and Santillana has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 700 thousand gross for each year the Plan is in effect, and the management group in PRISA has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 125 thousand gross for each year the Plan is in effect, which will serve as a reference for determining the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculations have been based on the average PRISA share trading price during the 4th quarter of 2021.
In 2022 an expense amounting to EUR 323 thousand was registered for this plan based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.

The increase in the heading "Income from current financial assets" in financial year 2022 is mainly in the Education segment due to the increase in interest rates during the period on the deposits set up.
As of December 31, 2021 the heading "Other financial income" included the income derived from the favourable resolution of the TEAC in relation to the inspection of the Value Added Tax from the period May 2010 to December 2011 for an amount of EUR 7,841 thousand, corresponding mainly to the VAT of invoices associated to loan arrangement costs (see note 18).
From the end of fiscal year 2020, financial expenses due to "Interests of debt" were positively impacted by a lower debt level with bank institutions after the amortizations that took place at the end of said fiscal year with the cashflow obtained from the sale of shares of Media Capital and Santillana España (see note 1 b). However, the increase in the expense in this section during financial year 2022 is mainly due to the increase in the Euribor on the cost of the Group's financial debt, which is mostly pegged to this indicator.
As of December 31, 2022, the heading "Other financial costs" includes EUR 4,912 thousand for the effect of updating the financial liability associated with the lease agreements (EUR 6,925 thousand as of December 31, 2021). It also includes the expense for the derecognition of a financial investment related to the participation of Prisa Radio in the associated companies El Dorado Broadcasting Corporation and WSUA Broadcasting Corporation (see note 11a).
As of December 31, 2022 the heading "Loan arrangement costs" includes all expenses and fees related to the Refinancing, including the refinancing, structuring and underwriting fee which the Company has chosen to pay through the issue of shares. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022 a positive impact has been accounted under the heading "Value variation of financial instruments " of the financial result for an amount of EUR 23,434 thousand, associated with the

derecognition of the original financial liability for interests accrued in previous periods (which accrues at effective interest rate ("TIE")) that do not have to be paid (see note 11b).
At December 31, 2022, the heading "Value variation of financial instruments" includes EUR 38,285 thousand for the difference between the nominal value of the debt and its fair value on the date of initial recognition (see note 11b). From that moment on, the difference between the nominal value of the debt and its initial fair value will be recognized as an expense in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest method (in financial year 2022 the expense moved to the consolidated income statement totalled EUR 4,886 thousand).
At December 31, 2021, the heading "Value variation of financial instruments" included the financial results accrued due to the transfer to the consolidated income statement of the difference between the amount in the initial registration date of the debt associated to the previous Refinancing and its nominal amount along the duration of the debt and the accrued of loan arrangements costs, using the effective interest method in both (see note 11 b).
At December 31, 2021, "Result after tax from discontinued operations" included a provision associated with an unfavourable ruling received by Telefónica and communicated to PRISA by the latter in January 2022, which was appealed, in relation to certain operations of Distribuidora de Televisión Digital, S.A. ("DTS"), a subsidiary that was sold to the aforementioned company in 2015. The agreement for the sale of DTS to Telefónica contemplated the assumption by PRISA of a percentage of the damages arising from these legal proceedings, for which reason a provision of EUR 3,320 thousand was recognised at December 31, 2021 as it was considered probable that an outflow of resources will be required. It should be noted that the result of the sale of DTS was recorded in 2015 as a discontinued operation. As of December 31, 2022 this provision remains accounted to the extent that the future cash outflow is probable.
Segment reporting is structured on a primary basis by business segment and on a secondary basis by geographical segment.
At December 31, 2022, PRISA's operations are divided into two main segments each of which has a person in charge:
The column "Others" includes Promotora de Informaciones, S.A., Promotora de Actividades América 2010, S.L., Promotora de Actividades América 2010 México, S.A. de C.V., Prisa Participadas, S.L., Vertix, SGPS, S.A., Promotora de Actividades Audiovisuales de Colombia, Ltda., Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U., Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L.U., Productora Audiovisual de Badajoz, S.A. and Productora Extremeña de Televisión, S.A.
Segment information about these businesses for 2022 and 2021 is presented below. The column "Eliminations and adjustments" mainly includes transactions between group companies:

In fiscal year 2022, the net increase of section "Assets due to Deferred Taxes" amounting to EUR 9,378 thousands is derived from the accounting record of tax credits due to the losses generated in some companies of the Santillana business and radio companies in Latin America, the temporary differences recorded, and the fluctuations in exchange rates.
The net variation in "Deferred tax liabilities" mainly reflect the different accounting and tax allocation criteria for certain intangible amortisation expenses and certain institutional sales in Brazil.
The Group did not record any deferred tax liabilities in relation to the 5% taxation of dividends to be received from 2022 onwards by Spanish companies as no tax liability was expected to arise in this regard based on the best estimate of the taxable profit.
The tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at year-end 2022 are recognized at their estimated recoverable or cancellable amount.
There are no significant amounts arising from temporary differences associated with retained earnings of subsidiaries in jurisdictions where different tax rates are applied and, therefore, no deferred tax liabilities were recognized in this connection.
The majority of the balance of deferred tax assets corresponds to (i) tax credits arising from tax loss carryforwards and (ii) temporary differences, mainly generated by subsidiaries in Latam.

Included below is the breakdown, in thousands of euros, of the prior years' tax losses of Spanish companies available for offset against future profits, showing the year in which they were incurred.

The fiscal years open for review by the tax authorities for the main taxes vary from one consolidated company to another, although they generally include the last four fiscal years.
In this fiscal year, a ruling was issued by the Supreme Court on the audits of the consolidated tax group's corporate income tax corresponding to the 2006 to 2008 financial years, which confirms the partially favourable ruling passed by the National High Court and concludes the proceedings. No additional impact on equity will be derived from these actions.
In this fiscal year, a decision to deny leave to proceed regarding the Company's petition for review by the Supreme Court of the Value Added Tax for the period from June 2007 to December 2008 was passed, which concludes the proceedings. No additional impact on equity will be derived from these actions.

In 2016 ended the audit procedure regarding the Value Added Tax for the period of May 2010 to December 2011 of VAT Group 105/08 of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. is the parent company, with the signing of a notice of agreement for the amount of EUR 512 thousand, which was paid and recorded in 2016; and another notice of disagreement for the amount of EUR 7,785 thousand, which, although it was appealed, was also paid and recorded with a charge to the consolidated income statement. Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. filed an economic-administrative appeal which was partially upheld by the TEAC. During the year 2021, the partially upholding Resolution of the TEAC executed, which generated a return of EUR 8,068 thousand, that was mainly accounted as financial income in that year (see note 15).
Inspection procedures for personal income tax withholdings for the period between May 2010 and December 2012 also ended in that year, and Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. signed notice of disagreement in the amount of EUR 196 thousand. In 2020 an estimatory ruling was received on the economic-administrative appeal relating to the personal income tax dossier for the period May 2010 to December 2012, in addition to the disciplinary proceedings derived from these inspections, and in 2021 EUR 229 thousand refunded as a result of execution of this estimatory ruling.
Similarly, they ended in 2016, the audits related to the Corporate Tax corresponding to 2009 to 2011 in Fiscal Consolidation Group 2/91, of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. is the parent company, resulting in the signing of a Notice in disagreement with no amounts payable and whose impact was recorded in accounting in that year. However, due to a disagreement with the criteria used by the inspection authority in the regularisation proposed, the corresponding claims and appeals have been issued, which are awaiting a verdict from the Supreme Court at the time these statements were prepared. No additional impact on equity will be derived from these actions.
In 2019 the inspections of corporation tax for the years 2012 to 2015 came to an end, no amounts were stipulated for deposit, and the main effect of this was a redistribution of tax credits from one category to another. The Company filed the corresponding economic-administrative appeal to the TEAC, and subsequently a contentious-administrative appeal to the "Audiencia Nacional" court, which is currently pending a ruling.
In 2019, the 2012 and 2013 Corporate Income Tax inspections for the Group 194/09 of which Prisa Radio, S.A, was the dominant company, and the Corporate Income Tax inspection for 2012 to 2015 were completed for the Fiscal Consolidation Group 2/91, of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A., is a dominant company, with the signing of two economic-administrative appeals from which no payable fee has been derived, and whose main effect has been a redistribution in tax credits from one category to another. The companies submitted the corresponding economic-administrative appeal to the TEAC court, and then filed contentiousadministrative appeals to the Audiencia Nacional, currently pending a ruling.
Also in 2021, the inspection procedures relating to Value Added Tax for the periods 2016-2018 of VAT Group 105/08 completed, with the signing of (i) a conformity assessment for the years 2017 and 2018 from which no tax liability arose and (ii) a settlement agreement relating to the 2016 financial year amounting to EUR 147 thousand, which was paid by the Company and that is undergoing an economic-administrative claim before the Central Economic Administrative Court.

Also, in the 2021 financial year, the inspection procedure to Corporate Tax relating to the 2016 to 2018 financial years of tax consolidation group 2/91, of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. is the parent, completed with the signing of an Act of Conformity resulting in an amount of EUR 789 thousand to be returned.
Finally in 2021, the inspections related to withholdings by residents and non-residents in 2017 and 2018 for PRISA, SER, Santillana Global and Grupo Santillana de Educación Global were completed, with no regularisations for the Companies.
The provision for taxes (see note 12) includes an amount of EUR 698 thousand to cover, mainly, the impact of probable unfavorable rulings upheld during the various tax proceedings described above.
It is not expected that there will be accrued liabilities of consideration, in addition to those already registered, as a result of these procedures or of a future and possible inspection.
The proposal for the allocation of the loss of Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. by the Directors for 2022 (under the Spanish General Accounting Plan) is as follows (in thousands of euros):
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Basis of appropriation Result for the year |
(90,956) |
| Distribution To negative results from previous years |
(90,956) |
During 2022, the Company has not distributed dividends to its shareholders.
Basic result per share was calculated by dividing the result for the year attributable to equity holders of the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation during the period.
The basic result per share attributed to equity holders of the Parent corresponding to continuing and discontinued operations in 2022 and 2021 were the following:
| Thousands of euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2022 | 12/31/2021 | |
| Result for the year from continuing operations attributable to the Parent | (12,949) | (103,198) |
| Result after tax from discontinued operations attributable to the Parent | - | (3,308) |
| Result for the year attributable to the Parent | (12,949) | (106,506) |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (thousands of shares) | 723,395 | 706,422 |
| Basic result per share of continuing operations (euros) | (0.02) | (0.15) |
| Basic result per share (euros) | (0.02) | (0.15) |
| Diluted result per share (euros) | (0.02) | (0.15) |

In 2021, considering the same weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding as in 2022, the basic loss per share from continuing operations would be -0.14 euros.
For 2022 and 2021, the effect of the medium-term incentive has not been considered for the calculation of diluted earnings per share since it would have an anti-dilution effect by reducing losses per share.
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in 2022 and 2021:

Balance with Group employees, companies or entities-
The amount of EUR 4,027 thousand includes the amounts pending of collection with associated companies, mainly Wemass Media Audience Safe Solutions, S.L. for the sale of advertising, respectively.
Receivables financial loans at December 31, 2022 include the loan granted by Prisa Media, S.A.U. to Wemass Media Audience Safe Solutions, S.L. amounting to EUR 200 thousand. The decrease compared to 2021 is due to the cancellation of the loan granted by Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión S.L. to Green Emerald Business Inc as a result of the sale transaction described in note 3 (EUR 2,642 thousand at December 31,2021) (see note 11a).

Balance with significant shareholders-
The aggregate amount of EUR 14,800 thousand (EUR 14,328 thousand in 2021) mainly included the amounts pending of collection for advertising services of PRISA Group companies to the Vivendi Group. In this regard, the balance shown reflects the accounting information recorded in the consolidated balance sheet of the Prisa Group. This amount derives entirely from contractual relationships prior to which Vivendi had a significant stake in PRISA's capital stock (less than 10%) and was represented on PRISA's Board of Directors.
Vivendi became a significant shareholder of Prisa in financial year 2021 and has sat on the Board of Directors of PRISA (represented by proprietary director Carmen Fernández de Alarcón) since June 2021.

Transactions between with Directors and executives -
The aggregate amount of EUR 4,140 thousand relates to the accrued salaries of directors for an amount of EUR 2,400 thousand (see note 22) and senior managers for an amount of EUR 1,740 thousand.
i. The aggregate remuneration of executives is the accounting reflection of the remuneration corresponding to the members of the senior management, who are not executive counselors in PRISA.

The aggregate compensation as of December 31, 2022, is the compensation of the following managers: the Secretary to the Board of Directors (Mr Pablo Jiménez de Parga), the CFO Ms Pilar Gil (since joining this position in July 2022), the Head of Corporate and Institutional Relations Mr Jorge Rivera, the Head of Communication, Ms Cristina Zoilo (since joining this position in July 2022), the Chief Sustainability Officer Ms Rosa Junquera (since joining this position in March 2022), the Head of People and Talent Ms Marta Bretos (since joining the senior management team in March 2022) and the Prisa's Director of Internal Audits Ms Virginia Fernández.
It is likewise included the remuneration of the former CFO Mr David Mesonero, until his resignation as of June 30, 2022.
Mr. Jiménez de Parga has entered into a contract with the company for the provision of professional services in which his compensation for those services consists exclusively of a fixed monthly amount.
PRISA´s former CFO Mr David Mesonero (who has resigned from this position as of June 30, 2022) has been beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA in December 2021, and was subsequently amended on April 26, 2022, by the Board (to extend it until 2025, in line with the Company's Strategic Plan).

Mr. Mesonero had been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021. The incentive may likewise increase in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
The Plan also envisioned an increment if refinancing was achieved in the terms set forth in the Plan.
Refinancing was implemented in April 2022, and an expense of EUR 193 thousand was recorded, considering the compliance with the aforementioned objective and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of that objective.
This Plan was terminated at the time of termination of Mr. Mesonero's contractual relationship with the Company. In 2022, Mr. Mesonero has received, in shares, the part of the Plan that was linked to the Company's refinancing objective.
o "PRISA 2022-2025 Incentive Plan of the CFO Ms Pilar Gil":
PRISA´s CFO, Ms Pilar Gil is beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to the adjusted Cash Flow of PRISA Group) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares, in similar terms to those of his predecessor in office, Mr. David Mesonero, but with the necessary adaptations. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2022.
Ms. Gil has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
Likewise the incentive may likewise increase in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
It was registered an expense of EUR 103 thousand, considering the compliance with the aforementioned objective and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of that objective.
o "2022-2025 Incentive Plan for PRISA Media, Santillana and PRISA´s executives":
At its meeting held on April 26, 2022, PRISA's Board of Directors approved a mediumterm incentive plan benefiting some PRISA Media, Santillana and PRISA executives. Only one of the members of the senior management group is a beneficiary of this Plan.

The Plan, payable in shares, is linked to the fulfillment of the following quantitative financial objectives, in the years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025: i) in the case of PRISA Media, the objectives are linked to EBITDA, Cash Flow and digital income of its budget; ii) in the case of Santillana are linked to the EBIT and Cash Flow of its budget and iii) in the case of PRISA are linked to the adjusted cash flow of Prisa Group of its budget.
Each management group in PRISA Media and Santillana has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 700 thousand gross for each year the Plan is in effect, and the management group in PRISA has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 125 thousand gross for each year the Plan is in effect, which will serve as a reference for determining the final number of shares to be awarded.
The calculations have been based on the average PRISA share trading price during the 4th quarter of 2021.
In 2022 an expense amounting to EUR 6 thousand was registered for this plan, considering the compliance with the aforementioned objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
In the 2022 an expense amounting to EUR 49 thousand has been recorded for the termination of the contractual relationship of Mr. Mesonero.
i. As of December 31, 2021, the managers were the following: the Secretary to the Board of Directors (Mr Pablo Jiménez de Parga, who joined the Company in July 2021), the former CFO (Mr David Mesonero, who also joined the Company in July 2021), the former Chief of Communication and Institutional Relations (Mr Jorge Rivera) and the Prisa's Director of Internal Audits (Ms Virginia Fernández).
Until June 30, 2021 members of senior management were the members of the extinct Management Committee and those who were generally in attendance at its meetings who were not executive directors of Prisa and had an employment or mercantile relationship with Prisa and other companies in the Group, and the Internal Audit Manager of Prisa. Consequently, the overall remuneration of the Senior Management includes that of Mr Xavier Pujol, Mr Guillermo de Juanes, Mr Augusto Delkader, Mr Miguel Angel Cayuela, Mr Pedro García-Guillén and Mr Alejandro Martínez Peón, until they respectively ceased as General Secretary and Secretary to the Board of Directors, CFO, Director Editorial, CEO of Santillana, CEO of Prisa Radio and CEO of Prisa Noticias. Likewise, included is the remuneration of the previous members and assistants of the Management Committee, Mr. Jorge Bujía (Director of Risk Control and Management Control) and Ms. Marta Bretos (Director of HR and Talent Management), until June 30, 2021.

Finally, in relation to financial year 2022, it is hereby noted that Pablo Jiménez de Parga (Secretary of the PRISA Board of Directors and a member of Senior Management) is Executive Vice President of the law firm ECIJA. During financial year 2022, following a favorable report from the Audit, Risks and Compliance Commission, the Board of Directors authorised the hiring of ECIJA to provide legal advice to certain PRISA Group companies, on specific matters (the amount of EUR 22 thousand is for the services recorded in the 2022 consolidated financial statements).
The aggregate amount of EUR 1,223 thousand (EUR 4,384 thousand at December 31, 2021) is mainly includes the advertising commission expense with Wemass Media Audience Safe Solutions, S.L. Additionally, in 2021, the expense for holding events with Planet Events, S.A. was included.
Finally, the aggregate amount of EUR 13,119 thousand (EUR 14,376 thousand at December 31, 2021) mainly includes the income received for commercialization of advertising with Wemass Media Audience Safe Solutions, S.L.
The aggregate amount of EUR 2,512 thousand consists of the expense for the purchase of advertising space and the receipt of strategy services, market research, creativity and identification of consumption habits and consumer product niches with Vivendi Group (EUR 1,854 thousand at December 31, 2021).
Meanwhile, the aggregate amount of EUR 30,059 thousand (EUR 24,706 thousand in 2021) consists of income of PRISA Group companies for advertising services with Vivendi Group. This amount derives entirely from contractual relationships prior to which Vivendi had a significant stake in PRISA's capital stock (less than 10%) and was represented on PRISA's Board of Directors.
These transactions reflect the accounting information recorded in the consolidated income statement of the PRISA Group and are between Vivendi Group companies and PRISA Group companies.

Vivendi became a significant shareholder of Prisa in financial year 2021 and has sat on the Board of Directors of PRISA (represented by proprietary director Carmen Fernández de Alarcón) since June 2021.
Additionally, it is noted that during the year 2022, IT services were provided to significant shareholder Rucandio, originating from contractual relationships prior to 2022 and which are therefore not included in the aforementioned tables. However, because these services were reported in the financial information for the first half of 2022, it is hereby noted that the annual amount of the services in financial year 2022 is approximately EUR 2 thousand.
In 2022 and 2021, the companies of the Group registered the following amounts in respect of remuneration to Group's Board members:
| Thousands of euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2022 | 12/31/2021 | |
| Compensation for belonging to the Board and/ or Board Committees |
1,100 | 1,044 |
| Salaries | 875 | 705 |
| Variable compensation in cash | 187 | 676 |
| Compensation systems based on shares | 226 | 322 |
| Severance compensation | - | 1,742 |
| Other | 12 | 280 |
| Total | 2,400 | 4,769 |
i. The aggregated remuneration of directors of PRISA reflected in the table above corresponds to the accounting expenses made in the income statement of PRISA and other companies of its Group and consequently corresponds to the accounting provisions registered in the profit and loss account.
Therefore, the compensation included in the table above, do not match, in some respects, with the remuneration that will be included in the Annual Remuneration Report of the Directors 2022 and in the Annual Report on Corporate Governance 2022, in which it is followed the criteria required by the "Circular 3/2021 of the CNMV (by which the annual corporate governance reports and annual remuneration report of the directors of public companies are modified), which is not the accounting provision basis.

Additionally, the annual variable remuneration corresponding to the year 2020, of the then CEO, was suppressed, at his decision.
o Fiscal year 2021: With the pandemic still rampant and no return yet foreseen to sufficient revenue levels, at the beginning of fiscal year 2021, new temporary interim measures were adopted to contribute to dealing with this complicated scenario and it was proposed to all employees with annual gross remuneration of EUR 85 thousand or higher, a temporary salary reduction (of 10% of the fixed remuneration) during 2021.
Likewise it was applied a 20% reduction in the remuneration of the non executive Board members during the same time period (although this would not affect of the remuneration of the non-executive Chairman, whose remuneration has already been cut by 50%, from EUR 400 thousand to EUR 200 thousand in December 2020).
o Fiscal year 2022: To minimize the effects caused by the COVID-19 crisis, the Board of Directors agreed that during 2022 a 20% reduction will continue to be applied in the remuneration of non-executive directors. The remuneration of the non-executive chairman has continue to be exempted from the foregoing and, in addition, remuneration corresponding to the chairmanship of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and the Sustainability Committee has been exempted, given the special workload, dedication and responsibility that such positions entail. These measures were already announced in the Director Remuneration Report sent to the CNMV dated March 29, 2022 (registration number: 15203).
However, since this compensation is subject to achievement of the management objectives at the end of the year 2022, the accounting figure in no way constitutes acknowledgment that that variable compensation has accrued, which will occur, if at all, once the year is closed and the 2022 annual accounts of the Group are prepared, based

on the level of achievement of the objectives established by the Board of Directors. In 2022, an expense of EUR 438 thousand was recorded for this item.
The Directors Compensation Policy for 2022, 2023 and 2024 provides for medium-term incentives linked to value creation in Santillana through the implementation of a corporate transaction during the term commencing on September 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2025, whose beneficiaries include, among others, Mr. Francisco Cuadrado, Santillana's Executive Chairman. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 26, 2021 and subsequently amended by the board on May 24, 2022 for the purpose of defining when it may be considered that there has been a revaluation in Santillana and extending its duration until the year 2025 (initially it was until the year 2023).
The incentive plan will allow the beneficiaries to participate in the creation of value for Santillana during the reference period, provided that they exceed a minimum revaluation target for Santillana and comply with the rest of the conditions established in the regulation of the plan. It will be understood that there has been a revaluation in the event that one of the corporate transactions provided for in the Plan Regulation have been concluded (i.e., the sale or flotation of Santillana), and the price or value determined for Santillana in the transaction is higher than the minimum revaluation target of EUR 1,400 million.
The beneficiaries will have the right to receive in cash a percentage of the value created for Santillana, understood as the positive difference between the enterprise value of Santillana on the date on which the specific corporate transaction is carried out and the initial date (September 1, 2020), taking into account the amount of the distributed dividends as well as capital flow. Santillana's enterprise value at the completion date will be that resulting from a valuation made by one or more independent experts. The enterprise value of Santillana at the initial date had been set at EUR 1,250 million.
In 2022, the provision recorded for this Incentive Plan in relation to Mr. Cuadrado (for an amount of -248 thousand euros) has been reversed as a result of the modification of the plan.
At the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2018, a Medium Term Incentive Plan was approved for the period falling between 2018 and 2020", consisting of the award of Company shares linked to stock market value and to the performance of certain

economic objectives (Ebitda and Cash Flow), targeted at the former CEO of Prisa and certain managers, who may receive a certain number of ordinary shares of the Company following a reference period of 3 years, provided that certain predefined requirements are met. The Company assigned a certain number of restricted stock units ("Restricted Stock Units" or "RSUs") to each beneficiary, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered.
In 2021 the Board of Directors verified the level of fulfilment of the Ebitda and Cash Flow objectives to which the Incentive Plan was pegged, and the Board agreed the number of shares to be awarded to the beneficiaries (a total of 2,115,328 shares) at the settlement date.
At the request of the beneficiaries of this compensation plan, the Board of Directors resolved that settlement and delivery of this Compensation be delayed until January/February 2022 (according to the general conditions regulating this compensation plan, that delivery should be made within 60 days after the 2020 accounts are prepared).
This Plan has been settled in February 2022, through the delivery of the shares or their equivalent value in cash, as chosen by each of the beneficiaries of the plan. The decision to give the beneficiaries the option of a cash payment was made by PRISA's Delegated Committee, at the proposal of the Appointments, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, on January 25, 2022. That possibility was provided for in the General Conditions that govern the Incentive Plan. The cash equivalent value of the shares was calculated based on the listed price of the shares on the day this decision was made (January 25, 2022).
In 2022 no expense has been recorded for the settlement of this Plan.
o "Santillana´s Executive Chairman medium-term incentive Plan 2022-2025":
The Executive Director of Santillana, Mr Francisco Cuadrado (who is, in turn, executive director of PRISA) is the beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in Santillana's budget (linked to EBIT and Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is payable in shares. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA on May 24, 2022, and was also approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
Mr Cuadrado has been granted with a theoretical number of shares equivalent to EUR 500 thousand gross for each year of the plan's duration, which will serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered (he has been assigned 923,494 theoretical shares for each year of the Plan, that is, a total of 3,693,976 theoretical shares). The calculations have been made considering the average stock market value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
In addition, the incentive may be increased depending on the evolution of PRISA's share price.

In 2022, an expense of EUR 166 thousand has been recorded for this Plan, based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
o "PRISA Media`s Executive Chairman medium-term incentive Plan 2022-2025":
The Executive Director of PRISA Media, Mr Carlos Nuñez (who is, in turn, executive director of PRISA) is the beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA Media's budget (linked to EBITDA, Cash Flow and digital revenues) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is payable in shares. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA on December 21, 2021 and was subsequently modified by the Board (to extend it until 2025 in line with the Company's Strategic Plan) on Abril 26, 2022. Likewise, it was also approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
Mr Nuñez has been granted with a theoretical number of shares equivalent to EUR 500 thousand gross for each year of the plan's duration, which will serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered (he has been assigned 923,494 theoretical shares for each year of the Plan, that is, a total of 3,693,976 theoretical shares). The calculations have been made considering the average stock market value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
In addition, the incentive may be increased depending on the evolution of PRISA's share price.
In 2022, an expense of EUR 59 thousand has been recorded for this Plan, based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
Mr. Carlos Nuñez is the head and Executive Chairman of Prisa Media since May 24, 2021. Mr. Nuñez joined Prisa's Board of Directors on June 29, 2021.

Mr. Manuel Mirat Santiago ceased to be Prisa's CEO on June 29, 2021 and on that same date took over as head of the Education area, assuming the duties of Santillana's executive chairman. Subsequently, on July 27, 2021 the Board of Directors approved the succession to Santillana's chairmanship and Mr. Mirat was replaced by Mr. Francisco Cuadrado as Santillana's executive chairman. On that same date, Mr. Mirat resigned as executive director of Prisa and the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Cuadrado as an executive director of Prisa to fill the vacancy existing on Prisa's Board.
As a result of the above, the Company evolved from having a single executive director (the former CEO, Mr. Manuel Mirat) to having two executive directors, one being the Executive Chairman of Education (Santillana) (Mr. Francisco Cuadrado) and the other being Executive Chairman of PRISA Media (Mr. Carlos Nuñez). Compensation for Messrs. Cuadrado and Nuñez are paid respectively by Santillana and PRISA Media.
iii. Until his appointment as Executive Chairman of Santillana and Prisa director, Mr. Cuadrado was Santillana's Director General of Education, but the compensation reflected in the table above is solely what Mr. Cuadrado received since his appointment as Prisa director (on July 27, 2021).
The table above includes compensation for Mr. Nuñez from the moment he assumed the duties of Executive Chairman of Prisa Media on May 24, 2021.
As for accounting for the expenses involved in Mr. Manuel Mirat's compensation, part was included under Prisa (the part concerning his duties as Prisa CEO until June 29, 2021 as well as the termination of his contract with the Company), while another part was included under Santillana (for his duties as Executive Chairman of Santillana during the month of July, 2021).

and ending on December 31, 2023, whose beneficiaries included, among others, the executive director Mr. Francisco Cuadrado. Although Mr. Manuel Mirat was also a beneficiary of this Incentive Plan, he waived all rights in that regard when his contract with the Company was terminated in July, 2021. In 2021 an expense of EUR 247 thousand was recorded for this item.
As already indicated in the information corresponding to 2022, this plan, of which Mr. Francisco Cuadrado, Executive Chairman of Santillana, is now a beneficiary, has been modified by the Board on May 24, 2022, in order to specify the cases in which it can be understood that there has been a revaluation of Santillana and to extend its duration until 2025 (initially it was until 2023).
Information regarding conflict of interest situations of directors-
For purposes of article 229 of the Capital Companies Act it is noted that, as at the end of 2021, the Board of Directors had not been advised of direct or indirect conflict situations that directors or persons related thereto (in accordance with article 231 of the aforesaid Act) might have had with the interests of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors has been informed by the Directors of the following activities carried out by them or by certain persons related thereto, in companies engaged in activities of the same or an analogous or complementary kind as the one constituting the purpose of the Company or the companies in its Group:
| Director | Activity | Person related to the Director |

(*) Mr. Joseph Oughourlian controls Amber Capital, its affiliates and subsidiaries (together "Amber Capital"), which act as investment manager, general partners, managing members and managers to funds, accounts, and other investment vehicles (together, the "Amber Funds") that invest in public and private companies in Europe, North America and Latin America, which includes trading in entities with activities the same, similar or complementary to Prisa. Mr. Oughourlian also act as a managing partner to Amber Capital and as a portfolio manager to various Amber Funds.
(**) Mundi Ventures has investments in 70 technology companies, which are listed on the website www.mundiventures.com.
The companies in the PRISA Group are not included in this list. As already indicated in the Annual Corporate Governance Report of the Company, as of December 31, 2022, the directors Francisco Cuadrado, Carlos Nuñez, Rosauro Varo, Manuel Polanco Moreno, Miguel Barroso (representant of the director Amber Capital UK LLP), Teresa Quirós and Maria José Marín Rey Stolle, were members of management bodies of certain companies in the PRISA Group or indirectly participated by PRISA.
At December 31, 2022, PRISA had furnished personal guarantees (including counterguarantees) amounting to EUR 4,875 thousand.
The Company's directors do not consider that significant impacts in the financial statements of the Group will arise from the guarantees provided.
The Group's main future commitment is the contract signed with Axion for the use of radio frequencies, which expires in June 2031 for EUR 53 million. The remaining commitments are mainly contracts with technology service providers, the largest being the contract signed with Indra in 2023 for a three-year period and an approximate amount of EUR 12 million.
At December 31, 2022, the Group had payment obligations and collection rights for a net amount payable of approximately EUR 88,654 thousand. This amount does not include the

payment commitments derived from the contract leases, which are detailed in note 11b. The net amounts payable in relation to these obligations fall due as follows:
| Year | Thousands of euros |
|
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 22,680 | |
| 2024 | 19,529 | |
| 2025 | 18,473 | |
| 2026 | 9,040 | |
| 2027 | 9,322 | |
| 2028 and subsequent years | 9,610 | |
| 88,654 |
The obligation to pay the amounts agreed upon in the purchase agreements arises only if suppliers fulfil all the contractually established terms and conditions.
These future payment obligations were estimated taking into account the agreements in force at the present date. As a result of the renegotiation of certain agreements, these obligations might differ from those initially estimated.
The information required by the third additional provision of Law 15/2010, of July 5 (amended by the second final provision of Law 31/2014, of 3 December) and Law 18/2022 of September 28 approved in accordance with the resolution of ICAC (Spanish Accounting and Audit Institute) of January 29, 2016, in relation to the average period of payment to suppliers in commercial operations, is as follows regarding to Spanish companies:
| 12/31/2022 | 12/31/2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Days | ||
| Average period of payment to suppliers | 71 | 63 |
| Ratio of settled transactions | 73 | 70 |
| Ratio of transactions pending payment | 51 | 34 |
| % | ||
| Ratio of operations paid in a period of less than 60 days | 45% | - |
| Ratio of invoices paid in less than 60 days | 70% | - |
| Amount (thousands of euros) |
||
| Total payments made | 235,562 | 249,452 |
| Total payments made within a period of less than 60 days | 105,670 | - |
| Total pending payments | 24,566 | 61,908 |
| Number | ||
| Total number of invoices paid | 86,170 | - |
| Total number of invoices paid in less than 60 days | 60,378 | - |
To calculate the average period of payment to suppliers, the payments made in each period for commercial operations corresponding to the delivery of goods or service provisions are taken

into account, as well as the amounts for these operations pending settlement at the end of each year that are included under "Trade payables" of the attached consolidated balance sheet, referring only to the Spanish entities included in the consolidated group.
"Average period of payment to suppliers" is understood to mean the period from the delivery of the goods or provision of the services by the supplier to the eventual payment of the transaction.
The maximum legal period of payment applicable in 2022 and 2021 under Law 3/2004, of December 29 and its modification by the Law 15/2010 of July 5, for combating late payment in commercial transactions, is by default 60 days. The average period of payment to the Group's suppliers exceeds the statutory maximum period partially on account of agreements arrived at with suppliers to defer payments or, where relevant, to initiate expenditure.
In 2022 there has been an increase in the average period of payment to suppliers caused, in part, by the agreements reached with suppliers related to the Refinancing of the Group's debt in April 2022. The ratio of transactions pending payment has increased in relation to 2021, fundamentally, by negotiation with technological suppliers to extend the expiration of invoices.
During the next financial year, the Directors will take the appropriate measures to reduce, as far as possible, the average period of payment to suppliers to the levels permitted by Law, except in those cases in which there are specific agreements with suppliers that establish a longer term.
On May 30, 2019, the National Markets and Competition Committee (CNMC), by Resolution declared that certain companies within Grupo Santillana -i.e. Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L., Santillana Educación, S.L., Ediciones Grazalema, S.L., Edicions Obradoiro, S.L., Edicions Voramar, S.A., Zubia Editoriala S.L. y Grup Promotor d'Ensenyament i Difusio en Catala, S.L. (collectively, the "Affected Companies") (as well as companies belonging to other editorial groups) allegedly committed two serious infringements to Article 1 of the 15/2007 Competition Defense Law and to Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union; imposing an accumulated penalty of EUR 9,214 thousand, without prejudice to the breakdown of the penalties that the Resolution applies to each society.
On July 19, 2019, an administrative contentious appeal was lodged against said Resolution before Section Six of the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) and requested the suspension of the enforceability of the Resolution for the duration of the procedure. On September 4, 2019, the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) suspended the enforceability of the Resolution subject to the guarantee submission for the amount of the penalty imposed by the Resolution.
On November 4, 2019 a bank guarantee for the said amount was submitted before the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) and by Order of November 6, 2019, the Chamber agreed to consider complete in due time and form the imposed condition and therefore to suspend the enforceability of the Resolution.

On April 16, 2020, the Affected Companies filed the corresponding lawsuit before the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) requesting the complete nullity of the Resolution and, alternatively, the complete nullity of the sanction imposed or its significant reduction. The State Attorney submitted the corresponding statement of defence properly and on time, having held the hearing to take the expert evidence (ratification) on October 26, 2020. The Affected Companies and the State Attorney deposited their closing argument memorandum on November 27, 2020 and on December 22, 2020, respectively.
On December 31, 2020, Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L. sold Santillana Educación, S.L. and its subsidiaries (Edicions Obradoiro, S.L., Edicions Voramar, S.A., Zubia Editoriala S.L., Ediciones Grazalema, S.L. and Grup Promotor d'Ensenyament i Difusió en Catalá, S.L.) to Sanoma Pro Oy, so that such companies are not a part of the Group perimeter. However, and in accordance with the terms of the sale and purchase agreement entered into, Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L. granted an indemnity to Sanoma Pro Oy on the result of this process.
On January 3, 2022, Santillana submitted to the National Court (Audiencia Nacional), a document by virtue of which is added to the file a sentence recently issued by the Contentious Administrative Chamber of National Court (happened later to the date on which Santillana presented its conclusions) within an ordinary procedure against a resolution of the CNMC substantially identical to that of Santillana-, by virtue of which the aforementioned Chamber admits the arguments that support the requested annulment and that likewise fully coincide with those presented by Santillana within the procedure.
The process is currently pending voting and decision.
The Group's Directors and internal and external advisors, do not consider that any relevant liabilities, not recorded by the Group, will arise from the resolution of this procedure.
In addition, the Group is involved in other litigations for smaller amounts. The Directors and internal and external advisors do not consider that any relevant liabilities will arise from such litigations.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the company, with preemptive subscription rights of PRISA shareholders. This issue takes place through a public offer for subscription of a nominal amount up to a total of EUR 130 million, through the issue and putting into circulation of up to a total of 351,350 convertible bonds with a face value of EUR 370 each.
The maturity date of these convertible bonds and conversion into new shares will be on the fifth anniversary of the issue date (February 2028). However, holders of these convertible bonds will be entitled to request the early conversion of the number of convertible bonds that they deem necessary into new Company shares, at their discretion, in the set conversion periods.

A price of EUR 0.37 per new share has been set for the conversion of the convertible bonds. This is a fixed conversion price until their maturity date, which will be subject to the adjustments that are customary for issuing this type of instrument to ensure that, in the event that certain corporate transactions are carried out or certain resolutions are adopted that may result in the dilution of the value of the Company's shares, the conversion price is adjusted so that such transactions or resolutions affect the Company's shareholders and the holders of the convertible bonds equally.
The convertible bonds will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00% (which cannot be capitalised) and payable upon conversion into ordinary shares.
In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, meaning 351,350 convertible bonds have been issued. Insofar as a fixed conversion price has been established (see above), without prejudice to the adjustment mechanisms which are customary in this type of transaction, the maximum number of new shares to be issued in connection with the voluntary or mandatory conversion of the convertible bonds on the basis of this conversion price is 351,350,000 new shares, which represents 47.44% of the Company's current share capital and 32.17% of the Company's share capital following the conversion of convertible bonds into new shares (again considering the current share capital).
The convertible bonds are expected to be admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated fixed income market (AIAF).
The issue is an instrument to reduce PRISA's syndicated financial debt, which is linked to a variable interest rate and which was refinanced in April 2022. This has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary, mainly, and in accordance with the financing agreements entered into, to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche, which is benchmarked at Euribor+8% (including cash and capitalisable cost), which as at December 31, 2022 totalled EUR 192,013 thousand (see note 11 b). In February, 2023 the Group had cancelled EUR 110 million of Junior debt.
The issue of this bond mandatorily convertible into shares has been treated and recorded in 2023 as a compound financial instrument, because it is includes both liability and equity components. The Group recognises, measures and presents the liability and equity components created by a single financial instrument separately on its balance sheet.
The Group distributes the value of its instruments in accordance with the following criteria which, barring error, will not be subsequently reviewed:
Following this, the liability component has been calculated as the present value of the cash coupons payable, considering that the mandatory conversion will take place at the end of the

bond's life, without considering early conversions, insofar as early conversions are out of the Company's control. As a result, a financial liability of approximately EUR 4 million has been recorded. The difference between the amount of this liability and the face value of the coupons will be recorded and posted in the income statement during the life of the aforementioned instrument using the effective interest method.
An equity component has been recorded because a residual share in a company's assets is evident, after deducting all of its liabilities, since the bond is mandatorily convertible into a fixed number of shares and does not include any contractual obligation to hand over cash or any other financial asset other than the payment of the aforementioned coupons. Therefore, as a result of recording the transaction at the fair value of the equity instruments being issued, an equity instrument amounting to approximately EUR 126 million has been accounted, resulting from the difference between the cash received for the issue of the convertible bond and the liability described in the previous paragraph, thereby increasing the net consolidated equity by this amount. The conversion price of the convertible bonds does not substantially differ from the listed value of the PRISA shares during the subscription period of the convertible bond.
The transaction costs have mainly been recorded as a decrease in the consolidated net profit, since almost all of the convertible bond has been recorded as an equity instrument.
Moreover, the early, partial cancellation of the aforementioned Junior debt will result in a financial expense of approximately EUR 6 million being recorded in 2023. This amount is due to the difference between the nominal amount of the cancelled debt and its initial fair value at the time of the Refinancing, which at the time was pending being posted in the consolidated income statement during this refinancing period, and which caused a financial income in April 2022, as described in notes 11. b) and 15.
On February 15, 2023 all the conditions precedent to which such transaction agreement entered into between Corporativo Coral, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L.U. ("SER") and the financial group Crédito Real was subject were finally fulfilled. All the parties have withdrawn the arbitral procedure before the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. Therefore, all litigations regarding the shareholders' agreement of Sistema Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V. referred to under the ongoing litigation and claims within the previous consolidated Financial Statements have been finally resolved.
These consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis of IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. Certain accounting practices applied by the Group that conform to IFRSs may not conform to other generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Figures as of 12/31/2021 APPENDIX II
Consolidated Directors' Report for 2022

The Group's businesses continue to move forward with their strategic roadmap, presented in the Capital Markets Day of March 2022, with a focus on digital transformation, acceleration of subscription models and development of new digital formats, within a framework of continuous efficiency improvement plans.
By the end 2022, the Education business reaches 2.6 million subscriptions in its education systems. In the Media business, there is an average of 231 million monthly unique browsers, an average of 45 million monthly audio content downloads and 80 million of total listening hours. Regarding El País, accounts for 266,000 total subscribers.
PRISA's social mission, as a business group focused on two essential sectors such as Education and Media, takes full meaning with the events that are taking place in recent years (the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, etc). Reliable and accurate information and access to better education play a more significant role than ever before. Therefore, in these crisis situations, the Group has given the highest priority to the continuity of its activities, reaffirming its social commitment. In support of Spanish and Latin American society, PRISA continues to guarantee access to: comprehensive, accurate and truthful information; quality entertainment; and, of course, a wide range of educational services.
In 2022, the start of the war in Ukraine has contributed to a gradual worsening of the macroeconomic conditions, with higher inflation rates and interests and lower growth expectations for the global economy. In this environment, the summary of the Group's results, compared to 2021, is as follows:

payments, EBITDA grew +38.2% in relation to 2021 (+31.4% in constant currency). The Group uses EBITDA as a benchmark to monitor the performance of its businesses and to set its operational and strategic targets, therefore, this "alternative performance measure" is important for the Group and is used by other companies in the sector. EBITDA is defined as profit from operations plus assets depreciation and amortization charge, impairment of goodwill and impairment of assets.
The following tables detail the reconciliation between EBITDA and the Group's result from operations for each of the segments of 2022 and 2021 (in millions of euros):

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRISA | |||||
| Education | Media | Others | Group | ||
| PROFIT FROM OPERATIONS | 51.1 | 20.3 | (8.0) | 63.4 | |

| Impairment of goodwill | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | |
| Impairment of assets | 1.9 | 1.4 | (0.1) | 3.2 | |
| EBITDA | 96.4 | 47.8 | (6.6) | 137.6 |

| Education | Media | Others | Group | ||
| PROFIT FROM OPERATIONS | 26.1 | (28.9) | (16.9) | (19.7) | |
| Depreciations and amortisation charge | 39.9 | 37.7 | 0.7 | 78.3 | |
| Impairment of goodwill | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | |
| Impairment of assets | 3.3 | 1.1 | 0.1 | 4.5 | |
| EBITDA | 69.3 | 9.9 | (16.1) | 63.1 |
Exchange rates have had an impact on the performance of the Group's results, mainly due to appreciation in Brazilian real, Mexican peso and US dollar: +EUR 37.4 million in income and +EUR 6.9 million in EBITDA. In this sense, PRISA defines the impact of exchange rates as the difference between the financial figure converted at the exchange rate of the current year and the same financial figure converted at the exchange rate of the previous year. The Group monitors both operating income and profit from operations excluding the aforementioned exchange rate effect for comparability purposes and to measure management by isolating the effect of currency fluctuations in the various countries. This "alternative performance measure" is therefore important in order to be able to measure and compare the Group's performance in isolation of the exchange rate effect, which distorts comparability between years.

The following table shows the exchange rate effect on operating income and EBITDA for the Education and Media business and for the PRISA Group in 2022 and 2021 (in millions of euros):

Education business continues to develop with a focus on expansion of subscription models based on education systems. In 2022, the number of subscriptions rose by 33% to 2,626 thousand subscriptions, and learning systems sales grew in line (+43.6%). Private didactic sales also grew significantly compared to 2021 (+43.1%), due to the recovery after the impact of the pandemic at the beginning of 2021 in southern countries, the improvement in northern campaign countries and also due to the extraordinary institutional sale in Argentina. Regarding public sales, sales are roughly in line with 2021 in euros due to the increase in Brazil and Mexico offset the cancellation of the institutional sale in the Dominican Republic.
Media business continues to focus on brand leadership in the Spanish-speaking market, on digital transformation and growth of subscribers in El País. In 2022, audio downloads saw a

monthly average of 45 million (up by +35%) and hours of streaming listening (TLH) stood at 80 million (an increase of +19%). Besides, Prisa Media achieves 231 million monthly average unique browsers. On the other hand, El País digital subscription model accounts for 227,000 subscribers in December 2022. Regarding the operating income, 2022 shows growth driven by the recovery in radio advertising and the development in El País subscription model.
The Group's net bank debt increased by EUR 100.3 million during 2022 and amounted to EUR 856.4 million at December 31, 2022, due to the Group's cash needs during the year 2022, including the acquisition of 20% stake of Prisa Radio and the refinancing costs amounting to EUR 30 million and EUR 16 million, respectively. This debt indicator is an "alternative measure of performance" and includes non-current and current bank borrowings, excluding present value in financial instruments/loan arrangements costs, diminished by current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and is important for the analysis of the Group's financial position.

| Cash and cash equivalents | (189.5) | (168.7) |

The following table shows the composition of this indicator at December 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021:
(*) See note 11.b) of the attached consolidated notes.
(**) Excludes finance lease receivable associated with IFRS 16 in 2021 (EUR 0.4 million).
The Group has taken steps to maximize its liquidity, with an available cash at the end of December amounting to EUR 179.5 million and EUR 25 million of available unused credit facilities and other credit lines.

The Group's outlook is to continue on its strategic roadmap, with a priority focus on generating added value through digital transformation and the commitment to subscription models, in order to maximize the results of its businesses in the future, strengthen the balance sheet structure, generate cash flow and reduce debt.
Recent years have been marked by a general climate of almost constant volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. This makes it difficult to predict future business performance, especially in the medium and long term. This environment of complexity has been greatly aggravated as a result of different events that are having a great impact at a global level: COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, disruptions in the supply chain, significant increase in inflation rates, increase in the price of energy resources, or rise in interest rates, to name some of the most relevant.
According to the latest edition of the World Bank's "Global Economic Prospects" (January 2023), global growth is slowing sharply due to high inflation, rising interest rates, reduced investment, and disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This slowdown in the world economy could turn into a prolonged period of low growth and high inflation (stagflation).
In general, both the Education business and the Media business tend to develop in a way that is very much subject to the macroeconomic environment. For example, in terms of costs, raw materials, energy resources or distribution, they are being affected as a result of rising inflation and environmental disruptions in the supply chain.
In addition, in the case of the Media, the behavior of the advertising market is particularly affected. PRISA's activities and investments in Spain and Latin America are exposed to the development of the different macroeconomic parameters of each country, including the development of currency exchange rates.
On this matter, the war in Ukraine with its macro-economic impact is lowering growth in the economies, delaying the effects of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the IMF for the year 2023 (figures from the October 2022 report), GDP expected growth for advanced economies will be +1.1% (vs +2.4% in 2022). For Spain, the IMF expects a +1.2% growth (+4.3% in 2022). The main countries in which PRISA operates in Latin America will also experience a slowdown in its 2023 growth according to IMF: Brazil will grow +1.0% (+2.8% in 2022), Mexico +1.2% (+2.1% in 2022), Colombia +2.2% (+7.6% in 2022), Peru +2.6% (+2.7% in 2022), Argentina +2.0% (+4.0% in 2022) and Chile will fall by -1.0% (+2.0% in 2022). For the whole of Latin America, it is expected a +1.7% growth for 2023 (+3.5% in 2022).
In line with the development of economic indicators in Latin America, the Group's results have also been affected by exchange rate volatility. In 2022, most of the currencies of Latin American countries have appreciated.
In this environment, as it has been doing in recent decades, the Group will continue to work to adapt to the new reality of its business by defining and implementing the initiatives that may be necessary: strict control of costs and investments, development of new sources of income, transformation and flexibility of business models, etc.
Another factor that affects the future development of PRISA's business is the advertising cycle. 36.4% of the Group's operating income in 2022 will come from advertising. The Media businesses, which are largely dependent on advertising revenues, have a high percentage of fixed costs, so that significant variations in advertising revenues have a significant impact on results, leading to an improvement or worsening of margins and the Group's cash position.
In this regard, during 2021 the advertising market partially recovered from the drastic drop of advertising investment in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and recovery continues in 2022, although somehow affected by the macro-economic consequences of the war in Ukraine, especially in Europe. However, the Group's advertising revenues has grown +3.8% compared to the previous year.
i2P's December 2022 report indicates that the total advertising market in Spain grows by +2.5% for the whole of the year 2022 (+2.8% expected growth for 2023), whereas the market in which is PRISA's media is present grows by +3.2% (+2.1% expected in 2023). The Group's advertising revenues in Spain have grown +1.6% (gross advertising data) in 2022 compared to 2021.
In Latin America, the advertising market also recovered throughout 2021 from the impact of the pandemic. The incidence of the war in Ukraine is not affecting so significantly to date the advertising evolution in the countries in which the Group operates in Latin America. Thus, so far in 2022, the following growths are estimated for the market: +20% in Colombia (according to Asomedios December 2022) and +11% in Chile (according to Asociación de Agencias de Medios, November 2022). PRISA's growth in both countries is as follows: +22% in Colombia and +9% in Chile in 2022 compared to 2021 (gross advertising data, in local currency).
According to the strategic roadmap on which the Group has been working in recent years, Media businesses will continue to develop and reduce their dependence on the performance of the offline advertising market and traditional formats. It will place more and more focus not only on the traditional advertiser, but also on the content consumer and new digital formats. It is worth mentioning the commitment to digital transformation and the development of subscription models. Significant events such as the launch of El País's digital subscription paywall model, that already reaches 227 thousand digital subscribers, or the development of the value proposition around the concept of audio, highlight the importance of this trend.
In addition, PRISA has the Education business, not so dependent on the economic cycle, which as of December 2022 represents 52.6% of the Group's operating income. Although the Education business has so far proven to be more resilient to crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact, especially on the development of traditional educational sales campaigns. Nevertheless, the pandemic has also implied an opportunity to accelerate the digital transformation towards the subscription models due to the increase of use of educational online platforms, that have thrust its usage precisely during this stage when a face-to-face teaching model was not possible.
During 2022, the reopening of schools has allowed a more efficient commercial campaign and with increasing demand for digital models, which implied a recovery in Santillana's income. The subscription models (educational systems) based on a hybrid teaching methodology (online

and offline, face-to-face and distance, paper and digital, school and home, etc.), have continued to grow in 2022, which confirms the importance of the digital transformation strategy at Santillana. On the other hand, the macro-economic situation is affecting the cost of goods sold and the distribution expenses, which is partially offset with cost control measures mainly in non-commercial expenses.
In any of the development scenarios, the strategic roadmap for the Education business will focus on maintaining its leadership position and maximizing growth leveraged on subscription models, with a commitment to these increasingly hybrid formats and methodologies, with a growing weight of the digital component.
Therefore, an important part of the Group's strategy and its business is based on digital development: from continuously developing the value proposition (increasingly digital) to business models more focused on monetization in the digital sphere (subscription models and new digital formats), to, for example, the implementation of technological platforms adapted to the reality of the businesses, or the development of management and use of user data.
Digital audiences of the Group continue to show significant figures. Prisa Media reached a total of 231 million unique browsers on monthly average per year in 2022, almost 7 million registered users (+17% compared to 2021), and 45 million audio downloads (+35% compared to 2021); besides, 227 thousand digital subscribers have been registered in El País at the end of the year. Santillana's educational digital ecosystem continues its expansion and enriching its offer, adapting to the reopening of schools, maintaining levels of usage of the educational platform, above the registers before the pandemic. In this regard, the pandemic has contributed to intensifying the use of technologies for the consumption of information, education or entertainment, favoring the growth of the Group's digital audiences.
The Group's strategy for the coming years will also continue to be committed to digital development in two of its business units: Media and Education.
The businesses of Group subsidiaries and, therefore, their operation and earnings are subject to risks that may be grouped into the following categories:
In the Corporate Governance Report (see Section E of that report) are detailed specific actions and bodies used to identify, valuate and manage these risks.


1. Financing risk due to the high level of debt of PRISA, that significantly limits their financial capacity.
The Group's financial obligations are set out in note 11.b) "Financial liabilities" in the attached consolidated notes of the year 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Group's net bank debt level stood at EUR 856.4 million, which could pose a number of risks to the Group as:
In February 2022, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously approved the signing of a lockup agreement incorporating a term sheet with the basic conditions for the modification of the Group's syndicated financial debt. On April 19, 2022, the 2022 Refinancing came into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors were made public. The basic terms of the Refinancing consisted, inter alia, of extending the maturity of the financial debt to 2026 and 2027, splitting the syndicated loan into two distinct tranches, refinancing the existing Super Senior Debt and relaxing the contractual debt covenants. The agreed Refinancing thus make the Group's financial debt more flexible and provide a financial structure allowing the Group to comply with its financial commitments, ensuring the Group's stability in the short and medium term.
In this regard, and as indicated in note 26 of PRISA's consolidated notes, in February 2023 the Group has amortized debt of the Junior tranche for an amount of EUR 110 million, with the funds obtained from the issue of a bond mandatorily convertible into shares, which reduces the Group's level of leverage.
The credit rating assigned to the Company may be reviewed, suspended or removed at any time by one or more of the credit rating agencies. A downgrade of the Company's credit rating could adversely affect the terms of any future refinancing of the Group's financial debt, as well as limit the Group's access to financial markets, investors and certain lenders.
The agreements associated with the Refinancing of the PRISA Group stipulate requirements and commitments to comply with certain leverage and financial ratios (covenants). The new financial contracts set out compliance with certain financial ratios for the PRISA Group, which

began to be applied on June 30, 2022 and failure to comply with them would result in early maturity of the bank debt.
The determination of these covenants has been made in consideration of market conditions and in accordance with PRISA's business expectations at the time of negotiation of the Refinancing. However, these conditions and expectations may be modified and affected by the complexity of the markets due to, among other issues, the globalisation of the markets.
The Refinancing agreement also includes causes for early termination as is customary in this kind of agreement, and includes provisions on cross-default, which could cause, if the breach exceeds certain amounts, the early maturity and resolution of the aforementioned contracts.
3. Exposure to variable interest risk.
The Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations insofar as a significant portion of the cost of the Group's borrowings is linked to floating interest rates (mainly Euribor) thar are periodically updated.
At December 31, 2022 97.67% of the Group's bank borrowings were tied to floating interest rates.
In this respect, although the Group continues to evaluate the contracting of derivative products to limit the impact of potential rises in the Euribor, further increases in interest rates would lead to higher financial expenses and interest payments, which would have a negative impact on the Group's cash flow. In this sense, at the end 2022 the Company has contracted an interest rate hedge arranged of a nominal amount of EUR 150 million which caps the three-month Euribor at 2.25%. In addition, in January 2023 a new interest rate hedge has been contracted, in this case, on a nominal of EUR 150 million and a cap of 2.25% (three-month Euribor). If Euribor was below said percentages, such coverages would not be applicable.
PRISA, in its capacity as parent company of the Group carries out its activities through a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies, so that, at present, a substantial part of its income comes from the distribution of dividends from its subsidiaries and their consideration as such for accounting purposes. During the 2022 financial year 46.3% of the Company's total income in that period came from the distribution of dividends from its subsidiaries.
An adverse development of the PRISA Group's business for any reason could have a negative impact on the dividend income received by the Company. In addition, a significant part of the Group's companies is located in Latin America and therefore the aforementioned dividends are subject, inter alia, to exchange rate risk and devaluation of the foreign currencies of the countries in which the Group operates. Furthermore, the Refinancing has entailed a reorganisation of the debt in terms of borrowers, which has meant that the entire financial expense associated with the refinanced debt is now recorded in the Company. In this respect, the interest rate of this debt is benchmarked to a variable interest rate, Euribor. There is also a risk that PRISA, as the parent company of a group of subsidiaries, may record possible impairment losses on the carrying

amount of its investments when the value in use of the investments is lower than their carrying amount.
In this regard, in the event that the Company does not receive sufficient dividends from its subsidiaries to offset, mainly, the cost of debt financing, possible impairment of assets and financial investments, possible contingencies and other operating costs of the Company, or in the event that the dividends received are not considered income because they do not comply with current accounting regulations, PRISA would incur losses, eroding its equity at the individual level.
Therefore, in the event that the Company incurs losses in the future or that such losses accumulate in subsequent years and the net assets are reduced to less than 2/3 of the share capital (set at EUR 74,065,019.30 at December 31, 2022), a new situation of equity imbalance could arise, in accordance with the provisions of the Capital Companies Act. At December 31, 2022 the net equity of PRISA (as a sole company) amounts to EUR 283 million.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and although this does not affect a possible equity imbalance according to the aforementioned Capital Companies Act (measured based on the net equity of individual companies), Prisa has incurred losses at the consolidated level in past years and periods, mainly due to the accounting impact of certain corporate transactions and extraordinary events and conversion differences, which has caused the consolidated Group to record a negative net equity of EUR 532,160 thousand as at December 31, 2022.
5. Risk of exchange rates.
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates mainly due to financial investments made in stakes in Latin American companies, as well as revenue and profits from said investments. In 2022, 61.3% of the Group's operating revenues came from countries with a functional currency other than the euro.
A devaluation of the foreign currencies of the countries in which the Group operates against the euro would have an adverse impact on the repatriation of the euro cash of the Group's foreign companies, e.g. via dividends. In this respect, an unfavorable development of the exchange rate effect as a result of an increase in exchange rates against the currencies of the main countries in which the Group has a presence would lead to a negative impact on the consolidated income statement and the Group's cash flow.
At present, the Group does not have any significant exchange rate derivatives. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Group follows the practice of arranging, on the basis of its forecasts and budgets which are analysed on a monthly basis, hedging contracts for exchange rate risk (exchange rate insurance, forwards, structured products and currency options mainly) depending on the risks and opportunities identified in this respect in the markets in order to reduce the volatility of the operations and results of the Group's companies operating abroad.
Furthermore, possible adverse developments in the economies of the Latin American countries in which the Group is present could lead to hyperinflationary situations, with the consequent negative impact on exchange rates.

6. Credit and liquidity risk due to, in other aspects, to the high fixed costs in the advertising sector and the seasonality in the businesses of the Group.
The adverse macroeconomic situation in recent years, mainly due to extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 health crisis in 2020 and 2021 or the war in Ukraine have had a negative impact on the Group's cash generation capacity, with an increase in liquidity tensions in the economy, as well as a contraction of the credit market.
In this respect, advertising-dependent businesses, in addition to being highly dependent on the economic cycle, rely heavily on advertising have a high percentage of fixed costs, and any decline in advertising revenues has major implications for margins and the cash position, making it difficult to implement additional measures to improve Group operating efficiency. At December 31, 2022 advertising revenues represent 36.4% of the Group's operating revenues.
As for the seasonality of business, it is worth noting that, in Media, advertising is mainly concentrated in the last quarter of the year, with the first quarter being a period with lower advertising revenues. In the case of the Education area, the last quarter is also the one with the highest volume of income, coinciding with the beginning of the Southern Campaigns and taking into account that the largest part of Brazil's public sale is invoiced in the referred quarter. However, the second quarter of the year is usually of little relative weight in the total for the year.
Although, on an annual basis, the seasonality of the Group's cash flows is not significant, as the flows from the various business units are offset, largely mitigating the effect of seasonality, the seasonal nature of the Group's businesses could give rise to some cash pressures during periods when collections are structurally lower.
With regard to trade credit risk, which is defined as the possibility that a third party will not meet its contractual obligations, thereby causing losses for the Group, the Group assesses the ageing of receivables and constantly monitors the management of collections and payments associated with all its activities, as well as the maturities of financial and commercial debt and recurrently analyses other sources of financing in order to cover expected cash requirements in the short, medium and long term.
To mitigate this risk the Group has a Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term &Revolving Facilities Agreement") to meet operational needs for a maximum amount of up to EUR 240 million, that is fully drawn as of December 31, 2022. Likewise, the rest of subsidiaries of the Group have at December 31, 2022 undrawn credit facilities and other credit lines amounting to EUR 25 million (see note 11.b) of the consolidated notes). In addition, as of December 31, 2022, the Group had a cash available of EUR 179.5 million. The Group has also implemented specific plans for the improvement and efficient management of liquidity to address these tensions.
On December 31, 2022 the group had recognised in its consolidated balance sheet intangible assets amounting to EUR 105 million (10.7% of total assets), goodwill amounting to EUR 117 million (11.9% of total assets) and EUR 117,566 thousand (13.9% of total assets) and deferred tax assets of EUR 55 million (5.6% of total assets).

In the analysis of the determination of the recoverable amount (in accordance with current accounting regulations) and thus in the valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, as well as in estimating the recovery of tax credits, estimates are used, made as of the date determined on the basis of the best information available at that date. However, it is possible that future events may make it necessary to change these estimates downwards (i.e., a deterioration in them global macroeconomic situation), which would result in the recognition in the income statement of accounting losses due to the effect of these new negative estimates on the valuation of intangible assets, goodwill and tax credits recognised.
In relation to tax credits, there is a risk of changes or divergences in the interpretation of tax rules in Spain or other jurisdictions in which the Group operates, that could affect the recoverability of these tax credits, together with the Group's ability to generate taxable profits in the period in which such tax credits remain deductible.
The geographical location of the Group's activities is currently concentrated in Spain and Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Argentina, among others).
In 2022 61.5% of the Group's operating revenues came from international markets. While America (Latin America+USA) is a significant geographic market for the Group, Spain continues to maintain a relevant weight, representing 38.5% of the Group's operating revenues.
Any adverse change affecting the Spanish and Latin American economy (such as the tensions and military developments around Ukraine, the trade tensions of recent years between the United States and China, Brexit and rise of populism, among others) could affect the spending of the Group's customers, present or future, on the Group's products and services and therefore also affect the Group directly. PRISA operations and investments may also be affected by different risks that are typical to investments in countries with emerging economies or with unstable backdrops, such as currency devaluation, capital controls, inflation, expropriations or nationalisations, tax changes or changes in policies and regulations.
The spread of COVID-19 since early 2020, declared a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, affected the global economy and economic activity and conditions in the countries where the Group operates (such as, adverse effects on unemployment levels, supply interruptions, decrease in economic activity, etc.). Although during 2021 and 2022, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 health crisis has been reduced due to, among other things, the effectiveness and progressive roll-out of the vaccines, this positive development is not occurring equally across all countries in which the Group operates, and there is still uncertainty related to the health crisis.

Furthermore, in the first half of 2022, the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the uncertainties surrounding it have contributed to a further gradual deterioration of the macroeconomic environment, leading, among other things, to significant market disruptions, instability and volatility, as well as an increase in inflation and tensions over Russian gas supply cuts that have worsened the global outlook, and uncertainty over the development of the conflict, con an adverse impact in GDP.
Although the Group has no direct exposure to Russia, the tensions surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict could adversely affect the Group, through factors such as inflation, the volatile of energy prices or the increase in the cost of raw materials and other industrial costs. While the PRISA Group generally attempts to pass on operating cost increases and inflation to customers, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so due to competitive pressures and other factors.
10. Risk of digital transformation, changing trends and emergence of new players and competence in Education and Media businesses.
In both the Education and Media businesses, competition between companies, the emergence of new players and changing trends represent threats and new opportunities for the Group's traditional business models.
In the Education business the Group competes with both traditional players and new, more digital operators focused on education systems offering alternative content and services and smaller businesses (educational start-ups, online portals, etc.). In addition, there is a growing trend towards open access to educational content (usually via online sites), a proliferating market for second-hand materials and an increasing number of schools not using books and developing new content within the scope of curricular autonomy at school level. This set of trends, in this competitive environment, puts downward pressure on the prices of educational content and services in the Group's main markets.
In the Media business, overall revenues (advertising, circulation and other) continue to be negatively impacted by the growth of alternative means of content distribution. The user has changed access to content consumption: significantly increases consumption through digital media and, at the same time, incorporates the offer of the new digital operators into what the traditional media have to offer. The proliferation of these alternative means of content distribution has significantly expanded the options available to consumers, resulting in audience fragmentation, as well as an increase in the inventory of digital advertising space available to advertisers, which affects and is expected to continue to affect the Group's Media businesses.
The Education segment main customers in the public education market are governments and public bodies in the various jurisdictions in which it operates.
Consequently, in the event that the economic situation in these countries deteriorates, regulatory or public policy changes occur or existing contractual relationships are not renewed,

without the Group being able to replace them with others on materially similar terms, there could be a material adverse impact.
A significant part of PRISA Group's operating revenues come from the advertising market, in its Media business. In the 2022 financial year advertising revenues from the Group's Media division accounted for 36.4% of the Group's operating revenues.
Generally speaking, spending by advertisers tends to be cyclical and reflects the general economic situation and outlook. Therefore, in the event of a worsening of macroeconomic magnitudes in the countries in which the Group operates, the adverting invest prospects of the advertisers could be negatively affected.
The Company cannot predict the advertising market's trend in the short, medium and long term, and given the large, fixed cost component associated with businesses with a high weighting of advertising revenues, a fall in advertising revenues would have a direct impact on the margins and results of Media business, with the consequent negative impact on the Group.
The businesses in which the Group operates are heavily reliant on information technology ("IT") both in terms of "back office" (systems that businesses use to operate their businesses: Entreprise Resource Planning (ERP), content management, advertising, broadcasting, etc.), as well as in the front office and the solutions that the Group's businesses offer the market as part of their value proposition: from the websites and apps of digital properties in the area of Media, to the technological platform and educational systems in the area of Education.
IT systems are vulnerable with respect to a range of problems, such as hardware and software malfunctions, computer viruses, hacking and physical damage to IT facilities. In particular, the Group operates in an environment of increasing cyber threats in recent years.
This is why IT systems need regular upgrades, some of which are carried out on a preventive basis. However, the Group may not be able to implement the necessary upgrades in a timely manner or the timely upgrades may not work as planned. In addition, the Group may not have sufficient capacity to identify technical vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in operational processes as well as in the ability to detect and react to incidents. Although the Group has outsourced IT management services and undertaking innovation projects in certain Group companies to various technology providers, if the provision of these services were not to continue or were to be transferred to new providers, the Group's operations could be affected.
The PRISA Group operates in regulated sectors and is therefore exposed to regulatory and administrative risks that could adversely affect its business.

In particular, the Group's radio business is subject to the obligation to hold concessions or licences depending on the country in which the Group operates to undertake this activity. These concessions and licences are obtained directly by the Group or through third parties by entering into licence lease agreements. There is therefore a risk that existing licences may not be renewed due to various factors (some of which may be beyond the Group's control), that they may be modified or revoked, as well as that upon termination of existing licence leases the relevant third parties may not wish to renew them with the Group or may renew them on less favourable terms.
In addition, the Group's Education business is subject to the education policies approved by the governments of the countries in which operates. In this respect, the Education business could be affected by legislative changes arising, for example, from the succession of governments, changes in contracting procedures with public administrations or the need to obtain prior administrative authorisations regarding its content. Curricular changes require the Group to modify its educational content, which in turn requires additional investments, and there is a risk that the return on these investments may be lower than expected.
PRISA businesses are subject to many regulations in terms of fair competition, control of economic mergers or anti-monopolistic legislation at a global or local level.
In this regard, the Group is exposed to the risk of potential non-compliance with applicable antitrust or merger control regulations, which in turn exposes the Group to the risk that the competition authorities and agencies of the countries in which the Group operates may initiate disciplinary proceedings against the Group. This could eventually lead to the imposition of economic sanctions on the Group and damage its reputation in the markets in which it operates.
PRISA Group companies are exposed to claims from third parties, as well as to administrative, judicial and arbitration proceedings arising as a result of undertaking their activities and business, the scope, content or outcome of which cannot be predicted. Moreover, when running its activities and businesses, the Group is exposed to potential liabilities and claims in the area of employment relations. PRISA is also exposed to liability for the content in its publications and programmes.
Although provisions have been made for litigation and contingencies of probable occurrence (probability of more than 50%), there are a number of large litigation cases for which no provision has been made, as they have been classified as possible or remote risk by the Group's internal and external legal advisors.
The Group's businesses largely depend on the intellectual and industrial property rights over, among other items, brands, literary content or technology wholly developed by the Group. Brands and other intellectual and industrial property rights comprise one of the pillars of success and maintenance of the Group's competitive advantage. However, there is a risk that

third parties, without the Company's authorisation, may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and misuse content, services or technology developed by the Group.
Similarly, recent technological advances have made it much easier for unauthorised reproduction and distribution of content through various channels, making it more difficult to enforce the protection mechanisms associated with intellectual and industrial property rights. In addition, the Group's international presence entails the risk that it may not be able to protect intellectual property rights efficiently in all jurisdictions in which it operates.
In order to use third-party intellectual property rights, the Group has non-exclusive paid-for permission from management companies servicing the owners of these rights.
To the extent that the Group is not involved in determining the economic consideration for the use of these rights, there is a risk that significant upward variations in the amount of this consideration could have a negative impact on the Group's business.
The Group has a large amount of personal data at its disposal through undertaking its business, included those related to employees, readers and students. Therefore, the Group is subject to data protection regulations in the various countries where it operates.
The growing digital activity of the Group's businesses entails a particular risk related to the IT management of personal data, which could result in security breaches of varying scope and severity occurring.
Failure to comply could result in reputational damage to the Group and the payment of significant fines. In addition, any disclosure of such personal information by unauthorised third parties or employees could affect the Group's reputation, limit its ability to attract and retain consumers or expose it to claims for damages suffered by individuals to whom the personal information relates.

See section 5 of the Consolidated Directors´ Report of 2022.

In compliance with commercial law, the Annual Corporate Governance Report (ACGR), which details all corporate governance aspects at Prisa, forms part of this management report, and was authorized for issue by the Board of Directors. The ACGR is available at www.prisa.com.
The Annual General Meeting and Board of Directors are the Company's most senior governance bodies, and their operation and decision-making process are described in detail in the ACGR.
Without prejudice to the above, some of the key aspects of Prisa's corporate governance are set forth below, as well as the important changes that have occurred during the 2022 financial year:
At December 31, 2022, Prisa's Board of Directors had 14 members (2 Executive Directors, 6 proprietary directors and 6 independent directors), with different academic profiles and respectable track records (profiles and bios available at: www.prisa.com).
The Board of Directors has a non-executive chairman and vice-chairman, as well as a coordinating director who is independent. The chairman of the board is responsible for organizing the board and promoting and developing the good governance of the company as provided for in the Board Regulations.
ii. Senior Management
During 2022 the following changes have taken place in the senior management group:
o The former CFO Mr. David Mesonero, was replaced by Mrs. Pilar Gil Miguel (until then Chief of Staff of the Presidency and Director of Investor Relations), who is now the CFO.

After the corporate reorganization, the Senior Management is made up of the following executives: Executive Chairman of Santillana, Executive Chairman of Prisa Media, Secretary of PRISA Board of Directors, PRISA CFO, Head of Corporate and Institutional Relations, Head of Communication, Chief Sustainability Officer, Head of People and Talent and Head of Internal Audit.
As per the Company's Board of Directors Regulations and pursuant to the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Board have non-delegable powers to determine certain general strategies and policies of the Company and make certain decisions (including the strategic or business plan; management objectives and annual budgets; investment and financial policy; tax strategy; risk management and control policy; oversight of the internal control and information systems; approval of financial reporting; dividends policy; treasury share policy; corporate governance and sustainability policies; the appointment and dismissal of board members and certain directors; investments or operations of all types which due to their high amount or special characteristics, are of a strategic nature or involve special tax risk for the Company; approval of the incorporation of or acquisition of equity stakes in special purpose vehicles or institutions domiciled in tax havens; agreements concerning mergers, spin-offs and any material decisions that could affect the Company's status as a listed company; approval of related-party transactions; annual evaluation of the Board of Directors' performance, etc.).
The heads and Executive Chairmen of the two Group businesses (Santillana and PRISA Media) are responsible for overseeing the management of those businesses and leading senior managers within the scope of the business units with whose management they have been entrusted.
The Board of Directors of Prisa has a Delegated Committee which has been granted all the powers and competencies of the Board that can be delegated, in accordance with the Law and with the limitations established in the Regulations of the Board of Directors.
Senior managers are appointed by the Board and they report directly to the Board.
Each of the commissions of the Board (Delegated Committee, Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee; Nominations, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and Sustainability Commission) has functions in their respective areas. The composition and functions of these committees are described in the ACGR.

The purpose of this Non-Financial Information Statement (hereinafter NFIS) is to reflect PRISA Group's annual performance in environmental, social, corporate governance, personnel and human rights matters of relevance to the company. It highlights the contribution to sustainable development and the main actions and projects undertaken, while giving continuity to the reports prepared in previous years. It also reflects PRISA's contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda, describing the activities and impact associated with the seven Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of priority for the Group.
All these commitments are included in PRISA's first 2022-2025 Sustainability Master Plan, approved by its Board of Directors in October 2022, which sets out the company's roadmap for environment, society and governance (ESG). It is the result of the important steps the Group has taken in the year to integrate sustainability and social, environmental and governance criteria into company strategy, following the creation of the Sustainability Committee – the Board body that supervises their implementation – and the Group's Sustainability Department, both led by women.
PRISA's Sustainability Policy (approved by the Board of Directors in December 2018 and revised in 2020 and February 2022) establishes a general reference framework to guarantee responsible behaviour with the main stakeholders. Its objective is to achieve the Group's sustainable development and promote social interest, fostering a culture of ethics and compliance, accompanying the development of the social environments in which it operates and using the resources necessary for its activity in a sustainable manner with the idea of creating shared value with all its stakeholders. The document is available on the PRISA Group's corporate website (www.prisa.com).
This report gathers the data and information of the business units of PRISA Group (Prisa Media and Santillana) in the 23 countries in which it operates. It shows the activities and actions carried out by PRISA companies in those countries, with exceptions identified throughout the report and in different tables. Most of the data reported is aggregated (at Group level) or broken down (by business units), depending on the nature of the information, to make it easier for readers to understand.
This NFIS has been prepared in compliance with the requirements set out in Law 11/2018 of December 28 on non-financial reporting and diversity. It is based on, among other aspects, a new materiality analysis carried out in July 2022, which reflects the expectations of the different interest groups, and on the Group's updated non-financial risk map.
As the NFIS is included in the PRISA Consolidated Management Report as an additional chapter, information required in the Non-Financial Information Statement will be incorporated by reference to other sections of the wider Management Report. For this purpose, reference may be made to the Annual Corporate Governance Report attached as an appendix to the Consolidated Management Report and to the PRISA Group's Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements for 2022, both of which are published and accessible on PRISA's corporate

website in the Shareholders and Investors section. The PRISA Group also publishes an annual Sustainability Report, which complements this NFIS.
The procedure for producing the Group's NFIS is based on standardised report for all business areas, which includes the data corresponding to the performance indicators referred to above.
The final table of contents and correlation with the indicators of Law 11/2018, Global Compact Principles and SDGs identifies those aspects that are material and non-material, given its activity, based on the PRISA Group's materiality study and the analysis carried out on the company's non-financial risks.
The Group has also presented the information referred to in this GRI table of contents for the period of January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022 using the GRI Standards as a reference.
PRISA is one of the main education and media groups in the Spanish-speaking world and a benchmark in the creation and distribution of cultural, educational, news and entertainment content in the Spanish and Portuguese language markets and in the growing Spanish-speaking market in the United States.
Through its business units, with brands such as El País, Santillana, Moderna, Compartir, UNO, Ser, Los40, WRadio, Radio Caracol and AS, the Group is present in 23 countries, positioning itself as a global multimedia group in the education, information and entertainment businesses, with a potential market of more than 700 million people.

Operating in two sectors with a great social impact, as are education and communication, PRISA is aware of the responsibly of its mission to contribute to people's development and the progress of society in the countries in which it is present.
This social commitment is backed by the company's values:

PRISA's business model and business and sustainability strategy are imbued with this drive to be transformative and to generate a positive impact.
The PRISA Group is organised in two business units: Santillana (education) and Prisa Media (information and entertainment), as indicated in note 17 of the Notes to the consolidated statement.
Santillana brings together the production of educational content and services, and Prisa Media has all the company's news media. They each encompass a series of brands that bring the Group's offer to millions of people. The PRISA Group has a corporate centre (PRISA), which sets the Group's strategy and ensures our businesses are in alignment with it.
The Group has carried out its activities through its business units in a complex macroeconomic environment (as described in note 1 of the consolidated management report), which has been aggravated by different events with great global repercussions: the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, disruptions in the supply chain, increased inflation rates, more expensive energy resources and rising interest rates, among others.
According to data from 2022, 38.5% of its operating income was generated in Spain and 61.5% internationally, the latter representing a proportionate increase over 2021.
| PRISA Group operating income by geographical origin | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | 38.5% | 43.1% |
| International | 61.5% | 56.9% |
| PRISA Group operating income | 2022 | 2021 |
| Main countries (Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Chile) | 88.1% | 88.7% |
| PRISA Group operating income by business unit | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Education (Santillana) | 52.6% | 48.3% |
| Media (Prisa Media) | 47.4% | 51.7% |
International income as a proportion of the Group's total income has increased compared to 2021. Six countries account for 88% of the Group's income in 2022: Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Chile.
Business performance and the factors and trends affecting the business model are described in Notes 1 and 2, respectively, to the consolidated management report.

We describe below, for each Business Unit, its markets and sectors, business models, business environment and organisational structure, and its goals and strategies.
Through brands such as Santillana, Compartir, UNOi, Moderna, Norma and Richmond Solution, the company creates and distributes educational content and services in Spanish, Portuguese and English, for all levels of education, for 3 to 18-year-olds (with special focus on K-12 sector (primary and secondary education), adapted to the regulations and educational models of the 20 countries where it operates (Portugal and 19 countries in Latin America). Since the end of 2020, Santillana is not already present in Spain, except for its corporate centre)
Brazil and Mexico account for 59.4% of the Group's total operating income in 2022.
| Operating income Santillana | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Main countries (Brazil and Mexico) | 59.4% | 60.6% |
The business model is focused on the sale of educational content and services in the private and public education market. The private market accounts for 70% of Santillana's business in 2022 and the public market 30%.
Santillana's value proposition for the private market is an offer of educational solutions through two business models: the didactic model; and the subscription model based on educational systems.
The didactic model is the traditional business focus, based on the sale of textbooks where normally, the customers are the public schools, the purchase decision is made by the teachers and/or the school principals or owners, the buyer of the product is the parent of the pupil, and the end user is the pupil. In 2022, this model accounted for 26% of Santillana's business.
The business units prioritises its focus on the subscription model, based on educational systems using the Santillana educational technology platform, which is scalable globally, and which includes in its offer a comprehensive service aimed at schools, teachers and pupils, combining technology, training and advice.
This is a business model where contracts are signed with schools for a term, typically 3 or 4 years, for the provision of the service through hybrid (online and offline) education systems that they offer to schools: complete curriculum solutions (comprehensive systems), more flexible modular curriculum solutions according to the demand of the school in each case (flexible systems and English systems) and solutions beyond the curricula to complete the learning pathway of the pupils (supplementary systems).
| Main Santillana indicators | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Total subscriptions (millions) | 2.6 | 2.0 |
| Schools (no.) | 8,923 | 6,868 |
| Learning System users (millions) | 3.7 | 2.8 |

Santillana's value proposition for the public market focuses on offering solutions for the programmes of public invitations to tender and bid announced regularly by some governments in Latin America.
All of this has made Santillana the leading educational content and services company in the Spanish and Portuguese languages field. In 2022, around 28 million students used Santillana educational content, with 2.6 million student subscriptions for study through comprehensive, flexible and disciplinary learning systems, representing a 33% increase on 2021.
Santillana is structured by country and has a corporate centre to coordinate and guide the strategy of the entire Business Unit.
On the basis of its two core businesses, radio and press, Prisa Media has developed a wide range of content that has transcended traditional media and has been reinforced by the development of a complementary offer based on differential capabilities in audio and video. Prisa Media focuses on the generation of news, sports, music and entertainment content in multiple formats, for distribution through different media and offline and online platforms, both proprietary and third-party.
With brands such as El País, AS, Cinco Días, Cadena Ser, Los40, Cadena Dial, Radio Caracol, WRadio and Podium Podcast, among others, Prisa Media is present in 12 countries directly or through franchises, being the leading media company in the Spanish-speaking world and the largest radio group in Spanish.
By geographical area, in 2022, 80.6% of its operating income was from Spain and the remaining 19.4% was international.
| Operating income Prisa Media | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | 80.6% | 82.1% |
| International | 19.4% | 17.9% |
The business model focuses on two main lines of activity: advertising (accounting for 76.7% of revenues), and circulation, both digital and print (13.3% of total revenues).
These lines of activity are complemented by the organising and management of events and the distribution of promotions, as well as the identification of new alternative ways of generating income that are becoming more concrete as the digital transformation accelerates. In 2022, the Prisa Media consolidation perimeter incorporated Lacoproductora, which is fully integrated into its Video structure for the creation, marketing, and production of audio-visual products.
In December 2022, El País had more than 266,000 total subscribers, Radio had an aggregate audience of nearly 23 million listeners across all its brands, and in audio there were 45 million downloads and 80 million hours of streaming on average per month during the year. The aggregate online audience of all Prisa Media's digital media was 231 million unique browsers from around the world.

| Main indicators | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Total, no. of El País subscribers | 266,107 | 176,760 |
| Daily average of radio listeners (millions) | 23 | 22 |
| Monthly average of audio downloads (millions) | 45 | 34 |
| Monthly average TLH (Total Listening Hours) (millions) | 80 | 67 |
| Monthly average of unique browsers (millions) | 231 | 251 |
The Group's short, medium, and long-term strategy is to grow its Education and Media businesses, leveraging digital transformation and subscription models. This strategy is set in the context of a firm commitment to sustainability and ESG criteria and is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly. The Group's strategy integrates the strategic plans of its various business units with clear business objectives: to maximise cash generation and control debt to optimise the balance sheet structure.
Santillana focuses on business growth driven by expansion in the markets operated and by the continued development of subscription models based on educational systems, always preserving the quality of education, and putting the educational community in general and the student body in particular at the epicentre of the company's activity. To this end, it sets itself four key objectives:
In short, commit to student-centered education that empowers teachers to improve education, providing service and support to schools and families, with innovation and creativity at the heart of learning.
All of this while promoting and disseminating an agenda of social and environmental responsibility among the millions of users (children, young people, teachers, etc.) who benefit from Santillana's educational proposals. This will contribute to creating better life opportunities for future generations, an irrevocable commitment of Santillana as an educational company.

Meeting these strategic objectives will allow Santillana to continue to increase revenues, improve margins and, therefore, increase the profitability of the Education business, consolidating Santillana as one of the leading educational technology companies in Latin America.
PRISA's strategic roadmap in the Media area focuses on accelerating digital transformation, reinforcing the leadership of the brands, and maintaining them as a benchmark in quality information and entertainment. This roadmap is embodied in the following key strategic objectives:
The PRISA Group has maintained a firm commitment to sustainable development for many years. In 2018, it approved its Sustainability Policy, which was modified and updated in 2022 (available on the corporate website www.prisa.com) and in November its first Sustainability Master Plan (SMP), for 2022-2025, was issued.
The 2022-2025 Sustainability Master Plan responds to the need to structure PRISA's ambition, demonstrate its commitment and highlight the impact of its businesses in the area of ESG. It was prepared as a result of the mandate of the Board of Directors and its Sustainability Committee, which assumes the commitment to ensure its correct implementation, and of the executive presidents of both business units and the Group's Sustainability Department. It also helps Group to be prepared to respond to the new European regulations on reporting and due diligence of business sustainability.
This plan marks the Group's roadmap in terms of sustainability for the coming years, connecting its strategic lines, objectives, and actions with the business to help provide more value and enhance its growth opportunities.
The SMP is aligned with three major commitments: continuing to generate a positive impact on people through PRISA's content and services, so that they become aware of the great social and environmental challenges we face as a society; responsible management of talent, the supply chain, and the environment; and, lastly, governance committed to transparency, ethics and compliance. and the integration of sustainability into the Group's financial strategy, taking into account social and environmental factors in investment and financing decisions.

Three pillars with which PRISA aspires to promote the transition towards sustainable development as a driving agent of social and climate transformation, with a real and positive impact on people.
| 3 major commitments |

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022/2025 Master Plan |

| Committed governance |
In order to improve communication of the Group's projects and milestones related to sustainability and the progress of its master plan to employees and other stakeholders, the Prisa IMPACTA concept was created in November to use different channels to raise awareness and spread information about these actions.
Enhancing PRISA's sustainability strategy and connecting it with the company's business strategy has also raised the Group's presence in ESG indices and ratings, such as MSCI, Sustainalytics, FTSE4Good and ESG Climate Risk (Moody's), although the Group's financial performance continues to condition any potential improvements in ratings.
In December 2022, the company was in the top quartile of the media and entertainment sector in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment and improved its rating by more than 13 points compared to 2021 (60 vs. 47) in the Bloomberg ESG Transparency Index.
As regards Diversity and Equality, this year the Group was incorporated into the IBEX Gender Equality Index. This means PRISA now forms part of this index, as women are present both on its Board and in senior management positions, at rates of more than 25% and 15% respectively. Note that refinancing of the Group took place in 2022 and that, for the first time, an improvement of margins linked to ESG criteria was established in it.
The financial sustainability of the businesses and sustainability linked to social, environmental, and governance aspects make up the company's roadmap.

In 2022, PRISA carried out a new materiality analysis to identify important issues on which the company should focus.
For this, an external analysis was carried out to look at, among other aspects, trends in sustainability, regulatory requirements and a study of the education and communication sector. To prepare the consultation, the external stakeholders most relevant to the corporate strategy and at sector level were selected, including readers, shareholders, analysts, suppliers, social entities, schools, and directors.
Internally, interviews were held with the management teams of the business units and with senior management, and a survey was carried out on all Group employees, as well as the rest of the external interest groups.

More than 2,000 responses from stakeholders were considered in the analysis, which identified 21 material issues for PRISA. These have been validated and approved by the Sustainability Committee and finally approved by the Board of Directors.
The process of prioritising these issues resulted in a materiality matrix that indicates eight critical or highly relevant issues, which provided the basis for preparing the 2022-2025 Sustainability Master Plan and PRISA's Non-Financial Information Statement.

| Very significant issues | Significant issues | Other significant issues |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Integrity, independence, and freedom of expression 2. Quality, inclusive, and equitable education 3. Responsible governance 4. Compliance, integrity, and ethics 5. Talent management and development 6. Diversity and equality in the workplace 7. Transparency and communication with stakeholders 8. Responsible content |

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were approved by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Agenda 2030 is more ambitious than previous proposals and recognises the essential role of companies as actors for its fulfilment.
The Group is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and collaborates in disseminating and applying Agenda 2030 in the business sector.
With this Master Plan of almost 80 actions, PRISA makes a bigger contribution to achieving seven Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) considered of priority for its activity: quality education (SDG 4); gender equality (SDG 5); decent work and economic growth (SDG 8); reduction of inequalities (SDG 10); responsible consumption and production (SDG 12); climate action (SDG 13); and peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16). Plus, the cross-cutting SDG of partnerships for achieving the goals (SDG 17).
PRISA's governing bodies exercise vigilance and leadership regarding the Group's commitment to sustainability. Thus, decision-making at the highest level promotes the business project by seeking the best balance between economic benefit, social contribution, and environmental protection to guarantee the interests of investors, shareholders and the rest of the PRISA Group's stakeholders, now and in the future.
The Sustainability Committee was constituted in 2022 as one of the important steps taken by PRISA during year to integrate sustainability and ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) criteria into the company's strategy.
In February 2022, the Board modified the Regulations of the Board of Directors and the Sustainability Policy, to regulate the composition, operation, and powers of the new Sustainability Committee, as well as to reorganise the responsibilities of other committees in matters of sustainability. In line with the good governance recommendations of the CNMV, this modification results in economic, social and environmental issues being included in the Board's functions, and various responsibilities for decision-making on these ESG aspects being assigned to its different committees.
The Sustainability Master Plan launched by PRISA in 2022 was the result of the mandate of the Board of Directors and its Sustainability Committee, which assumes the commitment to ensure its correct implementation, and of the executive presidents of both business units and the Group's Sustainability Department.

The PRISA Board of Directors is made up of 14 directors, all of whom are highly qualified and honourable professionals, with skills and competencies in different areas and sectors of interest to the Group, and from different countries, in application of the principles set out in the Diversity Policy for the composition of the Board of Directors and the selection of directors and in the Board of Directors Regulations. The board members have different academic backgrounds and outstanding professional careers (see profile and biographical note at www.prisa.com).
The principles and objectives of the Diversity Policy in the composition of the Board of Directors and the selection of directors of the Company can be summarised as follows:
In January 2023, the PRISA Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee (CNRGC) carried out the annual verification of compliance with the Diversity Policy in the composition of the Board of Directors and the selection of directors, concluding that the composition of the PRISA Board of Directors is reasonably diverse in terms of knowledge, experience, origin and age of the directors, with a positive balance overall, and that the number of members and the structure is appropriate to the needs of the company.
The above-mentioned Policy promotes the application of diversity criteria that refer not only to gender. The Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee has verified that, during 2022, the principles, objectives and procedures set out in the Diversity Policy have been taken into account in the composition of the Board of Directors and the selection of directors, with the exception of the target of a minimum female presence of 40% on the Board by the end of the year.
The presence of women on the Board remained stable in 2022, so that at the end of 2022 there was no change compared to year-end 2021 (5 female directors, representing 35.7% of the total members of the Board of Directors).
| Number of women on the Board | % of total Board Members | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
| 5 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 35,71% | 35,71% | 16,66% | 23,08% |
The evolution, in recent years, has been as follows:

However, it is to be noted that on February 28, 2023, PRISA's Board of Directors appointed Pilar Gil Miguel as executive director, so that, as of that date, the Board has 6 women members, representing 42.86% of the total number of members.
In any event, although the mentioned target of 40% was not reached at the year-end 2022, the five PRISA female directors had a notable presence on the Company's bodies:
The Board and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee have promoted a very significant female presence in the composition of the different committees of the Board: 100% in the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee; 80% in the Sustainability Committee; 50% in the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee and 25% in the Delegate Committee (which, following the incorporation of Pilar Gil in February 2023, has increased to 33.33%). In addition, all the committees (except the Delegate Committee, which, by mandate of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, must be chaired by the Chair of the Board) are chaired by women, and the functions of coordinating director are also assumed by a woman. These figures denote the commitment of the Board of Directors to gender diversity.
It should also be noted that, in February 2022, the Board of Directors agreed to set up a Sustainability Committee (made up mostly of women), and it has also reorganised the composition of the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee (made up entirely of women).
The Annual Corporate Governance Report details the results of the analysis carried out by the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee and explains how in 2022 the opportunity to incorporate more women on the Board did not arise. In 2022, no selection process was launched to incorporate new female directors, so there was no opportunity to increase the female presence on the Board during this year.
It has not been easy to make progress in this respect because this depends on multiple factors that are not always under the Board of Directors' control. Men must be replaced by women on the Board in an orderly, gradual manner, at the moment when a renewal of the Board is applicable. In this regard, it must be taken into account that the diversity policies and objectives must be implemented within the framework determined by the composition of the Board at a given moment.

It is to be noted that each time the Board of Directors has made a decision regarding its structure or composition in 2022, it has done so with the support and prior advice of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, taking into account the Board's matrix of responsibilities and carrying out an analysis of the Board's needs and required responsibilities. Both the Board of Directors and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee endeavour to avoid discrimination in the selection or re-election of directors and executives, and to ensure that, for the purposes of corporate interest, merit prevails as the main criterion, always striving to have the best professionals, while applying measures to promote gender diversity.
Attention is also called to the actions carried out to reinforce the presence of women in top management positions in the organisation. The Company's group of senior managers (at the end of 2022 and currently) comprises 5 women and 4 men. Therefore, the female presence in this group is 55.55%.
For the reasons given above regarding gender diversity, a constant effort has been made to achieve high levels of female representation in the Company's management bodies.
The Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board have highlighted the need to continue making progress on gender diversity and will promote the presence of qualified women both on the Board of Directors and its Committees as well as in management and positions of responsibility in the Company.
PRISA's Risk Control and Management Policy, in force since November 2020 and approved at the beginning of 2023, establishes the reference framework for the control and management of the risks associated with its activity. Its exclusive objective is to establish the basic principles for control and management of both the financial and non-financial risks faced by the Company and the Group.
The Policy is embodied in a risk control and management system, designed to identify, evaluate and manage the financial and non-financial risks that the Company faces, including, among financial or economic risks, contingent liabilities and other off-balance sheet risks, with the ultimate goal of providing reasonable security in the achievement of the PRISA Group's objectives.
This Policy is applicable to all the companies that make up the Group, as well as to investee companies that are not part of the Group over which the Company has effective control.
The Group has a Risk Management System, supported by appropriate definition and assignment of functions and responsibilities at different levels and a series of control and management methodologies, tools and procedures. Through this Risk Management System, the Group identifies, monitors and analyses risks; and it defines and, where appropriate, executes, on a case-by-case basis, the necessary measures to mitigate the risks when they materialise.
PRISA has a global risk map, as well as specific non-financial risk maps, including ESG risks, and the risks associated with the criminal compliance model, which are generally reviewed annually. These are used to identify and assess the risks of the activities of the businesses and of the Group.
The Internal Audit Department aggregates and standardises the risks identified by each business unit in order to draw up the Group and business risk maps. The Risk Control Department consolidates the action plans and the teams responsible for them, as identified for each risk by the business unit. Thus, it integrates risk management into the business strategy, and promotes achievement of strategic objectives focused on the creation and protection of value for the Group. All of this allows the company to draw conclusions about the impact/probability of each risk in the estimated scenario.
This Risk Management System operates by business unit, consolidating this management at the corporate level through a comprehensive management model, among other specific tools, focused on ad hoc analyses of the different risks, depending on their development and the assessment made of them and their circumstances over time. Risks are pinpointed by the CEOs of the business units and the Group, identifying the parties responsible for managing each risk and setting action plans and controls.
In this respect, the business units contribute to the proper functioning of the risk control and management systems and, in particular, aim to identify, manage and adequately quantify the risks affecting them, together with the associated action plans. Consequently, they also actively participate in defining the risk strategy and in risk management decisions, ensuring that the systems in place adequately mitigate risks within the framework of the policy defined by the Board of Directors and the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee.
Within the framework of the comprehensive management model, the risk maps, together with their action plans and the conclusions on the impact/probability of each risk in the estimated scenario, are reported to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee. The Committee also supervises and regularly assesses the Group's risk control and management systems, as well as proposing to the Board of Directors a level of risk considered acceptable, in view of the risk aversion, risk tolerance or risk appetite in each specific case.
PRISA also has an Internal Control over Financial Reporting System (ICFR), based on the COSO 2013 methodological framework. It has a Crime Prevention and Detection Model in Spain for criminal risk management and it develops regulatory compliance models in the main countries in which it operates (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia). Compliance models cover environmental, labour relations and corruption and bribery risks for each business activity.

The activities of the Group businesses and, therefore, also appropriate execution of its strategic roadmap, are subject to risks that can be grouped into the following categories:
Reputational risks are risks associated with a potential negative impact on the Group and its results, as a consequence of behaviour that does not meet the expectations of the market and the various stakeholders, including conduct related to corruption and lack of integrity as defined in the Group's Anti-Corruption Policy. Non-financial risks are classified according to categories aligned with the areas described in Law 11/2018 on non-financial information and diversity.
Criminal compliance risks are risks associated with the committing of crimes defined in the Penal Code as chargeable against a legal person. Some business activities exist in which a crime could be committed by one of the Group's employees. In this context, to minimise such risks, which include corruption, bribery, money laundering, workplace harassment, violation of privacy, compliance models are established and regularly reviewed for their continuous improvement.
The ESG risks are summarised below, and each chapter of the report provides further information on the indicators for monitoring and evaluating such risks. The table at the end of this report shows how the information is linked to the GRI Standards indicators.

Personal data is a valuable asset, so it is essential to have cybersecurity measures to contain attacks that attempt to obtain this information, avoiding security breaches.
Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018, PRISA has worked intensively to improve and develop its personal data and consumer rights control and assurance processes against potential uses that may be made of them. This regulatory development has also had an impact on Group companies in Latin America, which have been reviewing their procedures for compliance with local data protection regulations.
The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for receiving and managing, in the first instance, claims and inquiries from users and people whose personal data is processed by the Group's companies. They can do so via the mailbox [email protected] or by writing to a postal address provided for the purpose. Prisa Media has a specific email box: [email protected].
In 2022, the Prisa Media business unit received 9 complaints from users and 3 from the Spanish Data Protection Agency (5 in 2021), related to the exercise of data protection rights or the processing of personal data. All of the above claims have been appropriately managed. Santillana did not receive any claims related to privacy.
As part of PRISA Group's commitment to privacy management, correct processing of personal data and improving information security protection, the Group has been carrying out the following actions:
The Group's Privacy Policy was defined with the purpose of Management declaring its highest commitment to personal data protection, guaranteeing regulatory compliance, and contributing to the development of an ethical culture and integrity in the businesses.

In December 2022 the process of renewing the Security Master Plan began, with the idea of extending it to the period 2023-2025. As an initial step, the Logical Security Office service was renewed, using a new supplier. A start was also made on the review process of initiatives included within the plan and their adaptation to the latest version of the reference standard, ISO/IEC 27002:2022.
The PRISA Group is committed to compliance with the law and with its Code of Ethics, in all the markets and territories where it operates. The objectives of the legal compliance model, based on the Code of Ethics, include promoting ethical behaviour in employees when carrying out the company's activity.
PRISA's Code of Ethics3 includes the set of ethical principles and rules of conduct that Group companies and their employees must apply. The general ethical principles refer to respect for human rights and public freedoms, professional development, equal opportunities, nondiscrimination, and respect for people, health, and safety at work and environmental protection.
The Code of Ethics is published in Spanish and English on the PRISA corporate website (www.prisa.com) and forms part of the welcome pack given to all new employees.
In 2022, to promote an ethical corporate culture, with the key support of HR, work was carried out on a responsible leadership project as a technical tool for changing behaviour through training and raising awareness. A decalogue was defined with the characteristics of PRISA leaders so that, leading by example, they can help to promote an ethical culture. The project has been approved by the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee.
3 It is referred to in paragraph F.1.2 of the Annual Corporate Governance Report.

The Code of Ethics and various policies that are developed from it constitute an essential element of the compliance model and establish the guidelines on how the Group and its members should act in different contexts. In 2022, the Zero Standard for making rules was created. It sets the criteria for the production and approval of rules, using a common nomenclature and setting deadlines for updating. Numerous policies and procedures have been revised and updated, including, of relevance to this section, the Anti-Corruption Policy, the Competition Policy and the Gift Policy. A new Data Protection Policy and a Code of Ethics and Conduct applicable to the company's suppliers have also been approved. In terms of conflicts of interest, the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, the company's Code of Ethics and the Internal Regulations of Conduct in matters relating to stock markets establish the general principles of action to be observed when appropriate.
In 2022, the new "PRISANET" intranet was launched for the Company, Prisa Media and all its subsidiaries in Spain. All the rules applicable to its employees are published in it. To facilitate access to them, a distinction is made between general and specific rules. The first of these should be known by all employees.
The Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), as the head of the regulatory compliance function in the Group, with autonomous powers of initiative and control, assumes the functions of the criminal prevention body provided for in the Penal Code and, among other functions, is responsible for ensuring and promoting the ethical behaviour of the Group's employees and for identifying, managing and mitigating compliance risks4. The CCO reports directly to the Audit, Risks and Compliance Committee.
In 2022, the compliance units of the parent companies of the Group's businesses were changed to a single-person function with a Chief Compliance Officer. This change was also made in PRISA in 2021 in order to strengthen the compliance function and to increase coordination of common compliance objectives between PRISA and its subsidiaries.
The most significant business unit subsidiaries (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile) have established collegial body compliance units or have designated a compliance officer. PRISA has a whistle-blowing channel5, accessible on the corporate website (www.prisa.com), on the intranet, and via a post office box in Madrid, through which any person, anonymously and confidentially, can report any irregularity or breach of both external and internal regulations.
The complaints handling procedure specifies how to communicate irregularities, guarantees that there will be no retaliation against whistleblowers who report alleged non-compliance or irregularities in good faith, describes the process of investigation, resolution, the application of sanctions (if applicable) and the communication, where appropriate, of decisions taken. The whistleblowing channel is managed by the CCO.
4 Described in paragraph F.1.2 of the Annual Corporate Governance Report
5 Described in paragraph F.1.2 of the Annual Corporate Governance Report

PRISA employees can send queries related to the Code of Ethics and other internal regulatory, ethics and compliance matters to the compliance mailbox ([email protected]) managed by the CCO. Similar mailboxes associated with each business's Compliance Unit (CU) redirect to the Group's compliance mailbox. A procedure similar to that for complaints received through the whistleblower channel is followed when processing complaints received through these mailboxes.
In 2022, 37 complaints were received, 13 more than managed in 2021 (24). Of these, 11 were justified, 2 are under investigation (from which no significant consequences are expected) and 24 were unfounded. In cases where complaints were founded, the disciplinary measures provided for in the corresponding legislation were applied, and controls were generally reviewed and strengthened to mitigate future risks.
It should be noted that no complaints or significant sanctions were made against PRISA in 2022 for non-compliance with the legislation or regulations in any of the markets where it operates.
The Code of Ethics contains the basic principles for internal control and prevention of corruption, governing aspects such as transparency, truthfulness and reliability of information and control of records, bribery and anti-corruption measures, prevention of money laundering and payment irregularities. The Code of Ethics online course, available to the entire workforce, promotes application of these principles and the necessary collaboration of all PRISA employees in preventing all forms of crime and inappropriate behaviour. On December 31, 2022, 2,800 employees out of a total of 7,222 had completed the course.
The 2021 Compliance Policy states PRISA's commitment to the function of regulatory compliance, which means not only complying strictly with applicable laws and internal regulations, but also promoting a culture of ethics and corporate integrity in the daily activity. It also reinforces its commitment to the company's purpose and the values, principles and standards of conduct promulgated in the Code of Ethics.
The Anti-Corruption Policy, reviewed and updated in July 2022, establishes PRISA's commitment to the fight against corruption in all its forms, in all its areas of action and in all the countries in which it operates. In September 2022, the procedure for the prevention of money laundering, applicable to all companies in the Group, was updated and approved to strengthen the measures to prevent the laundering of money from criminal or illegal activities.
The Investment and Financing Policy defines the applicable framework for the analysis, approval and control of investment or divestment projects and coverage of the financial, control and financial risk management needs of the businesses.
The Gifts Policy, updated and approved in July 2022 by the PRISA Board of Directors, gives guidance to employees and management bodies on making the right decisions regarding the acceptance and offering of gifts, services, or other hospitality, within the framework of the Group's commercial relations.

The Competition Policy, also updated and approved by the Board of Directors in July 2022, establishes PRISA's commitment to promoting free competition, avoiding conduct that constitutes or may constitute collusion, abuse, or restriction of free competition. Its compliance applies to companies, staff, and managers of the Group.
With the aim of using employee training and awareness raising to minimise the risks of corruption and bribery, an anti-corruption course was launched in 2022. It is available to all employees on the PRISA Campus training platform, which can be accessed through the intranet. As of December 31, 2022, 3,563 employees out of a total of 7,222 had completed the course..
The Crime Prevention and Detection Model is another of the pillars on which the compliance model is built, in line with the general organisational and management requirements set out in sections 2 and 5 of article 31 bis of the Spanish Criminal Code for Spanish subsidiaries. This model is subject to a continuous process of verification and updating to ensure its effectiveness and the correct functioning of the controls it establishes. Specifically to detect and prevent corruption and bribery, it is essential to have a matrix of crime risks and controls.
PRISA has another series of policies and procedures as additional measures for preventing bribery and fighting corruption. These include the procedure on how to act with public administrations, the procedure on granting restrictive powers of attorney, and the policy on travel and entertainment expenses.
In application of the protocol for action in cases of corruption, bribery or money laundering, the Whistleblower Channel and the compliance mailboxes are made available to employees and third parties.
The key indicator in PRISA for assessing the risk of corruption, in all its forms in both the public and private sectors, is the number of complaints received and substantiated each year via the Whistleblower Channel. Of the complaints received and investigated in 2022, six were related to cases of corruption. Three were founded: two cases of employee fraud for a non-material amount and a third related to a regulatory breach. In all three cases, various measures were taken to strengthen controls, and the disciplinary regime corresponding to the country's legislation was applied.
Respect for human rights is included in article 4 of the Group's Code of Ethics. In this article, PRISA commits to respecting and protecting human rights and civil liberties, building democracy and freedom of expression, preserving the natural environment, and contributing to the development and well-being of the communities with which it interacts. It also expresses its total rejection of child labour and forced or compulsory labour, and its commitment to respect freedom of association and collective bargaining.
In application of this commitment, Compliance applies its Crime Prevention and Detection Model to ensure the ethical behaviour of its employees, and monitors, disseminates and provides training in the Code of Ethics. The general purchasing conditions and the supplier approval procedure stipulate respect for human rights as a requirement for suppliers.

In October 2022, the Board of Directors approved the Suppliers' Code of Ethics and Conduct, with the aim of ensuring that suppliers respect and comply with its guidelines on applicable legislation, human rights, employment rights, business ethics, anti-corruption measures, the environment, and confidentiality and privacy. The Suppliers' Code of Ethics and Conduct is published on the corporate website in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
In the non-financial risk map, PRISA's indicator for monitoring respect for human rights is the number of complaints received and substantiated. Of the complaints received and managed in 2022, no complaint was classified in the Human Rights section. However, four complaints were made about alleged workplace or sexual harassment, which were not substantiated, and a fifth complaint, about inappropriate conduct in the work environment, was judged to be founded and the corresponding disciplinary regime was applied.
In carrying out its activity, the PRISA Group is aware of its potential social and environmental impact, and of its value chain's influential capacity. Consequently, PRISA works to protect the environment and to offer a work environment that is free of discrimination and secure and stimulating for the people in its teams, and it collaborates with its supply chain to protect human rights and promote the sustainability agenda.
At year-end 2022, there were 7,222 people in the PRISA workforce, an increase of 6% on the previous year. This growth is mainly due to the incorporation into the company's perimeter (since May) of LaCoproductora, a company that centralises all of Prisa Media's video content, and to the organic business growth in Colombia, Chile and Peru.

There is freedom of association in all PRISA Group companies and social dialogue is fostered. The collective bargaining agreements currently in effect involve improvements in employment and working conditions in relation to the minimum rights required by legislation. In general, information, representation and consultation procedures for employees are contained and regulated in the different collective bargaining agreements and are structured through the labour representation bodies regulated in the same.

Overall, 63% of the Group's workers are subject to collective bargaining agreements, Prisa Media being the Business Unit with the highest coverage of 87%.
In 2022 there were no labour force adjustment plans (EREs), furlough schemes (ERTEs) or strikes within the Group. There have been no claims for breach of working conditions or rights applicable to the workforce.
In Santillana, the percentage is lower due to the geographic dispersion of its business and the lack of such strict application of this regulatory employment body in the countries in which it operates. This does not undermine the social dialogue existing in its companies, always under an applicable regulatory umbrella that guarantees social relations between a company and its workers.

In Spain, the staff get company perks, life and accident insurance, cover for disability or invalidity and maternity or paternity bonuses. In general terms, companies in the Group do not distinguish between full-time and part-time, or permanent and temporary contracts, for accessing these company benefits.
The Group promotes disconnecting from work in all its companies. In Spain, a time at work control system is gradually being implemented to optimise the management of time worked, with a commitment to flexible working arrangements in a collaborative environment for the benefit of employees. Also in Spain, the Group has a digital disconnection policy for Santillana and a separate policy for Prisa Media.
In addition, this policy is being adapted for each medium as part of the process of renegotiating collective bargaining agreements.
In practice, all of the collective agreements applicable to the various companies in Spain have working hours below the maximum legal working hours (40 hours per week).
Furthermore, any exceptional overtime will be compensated with days off, in accordance with the provisions of some of the agreements in companies that carry out their activity in Spain.

The distribution of the working day, both in Spain and in Latin America (where the concept of the short intensive working day does not exist), includes flexible starting and finishing times, and working hours are adapted and there are intensive working hours at certain times of the year (summer, Christmas and Easter). These exceptional working hours are established by agreement between the different departments and/or the workers' legal representatives.
Through a whole range of employment conditions, the Group tries to improve the legal minimums and to offer flexible arrangements for the employee's working life, helping to attract talent and reduce the rate of absenteeism, which in 2022 stood at 1.92%.

The commitment to guarantee the work-life balance is applicable to all companies and to all employees who work in the PRISA Group. It is worth noting some of the measures applied in Santillana in Spain to facilitate the work-life balance:
Santillana has also signed a teleworking agreement with the Workers' Legal Representation to facilitate work-life balance by extending the allowed days of teleworking per week to two. In the case of Corporate Headquarters, the number of days with the option to telework is higher.
The training given in the Group is managed each year according to the budgets approved in each company. Each business manages the budget and training actions, focusing on the groups which are considered strategic, areas which require development, or updating to meet new needs or legal/regulatory requirements.

PRISA has its own online training platform for its staff. Employees of the different Group companies have a wide range of training activities available to them on PRISA Campus. In Spain, through the Flexible Remuneration Plan, employees have the possibility of contracting training related to their work activity or to learning English and/or Portuguese. This type of training is not considered as remuneration in kind and is therefore exempt from taxation.
In Santillana and Prisa Media in Latam, the above resources are in addition to a full training package managed in the countries and the corporate headquarters, with a great effort being made in post-COVID year 2022 to train the workforce in order to improve their employability. The Work-Life Balance Plan for Santillana Spain includes the possibility for all workers to request 3 to 9 months' unpaid leave to take a training course related to their job.
During 2022, PRISA Group staff have completed 65,259 hours of training, an increase of 58% on 2021 (41,267 hours in 2021). 69% of the hours were imparted in Santillana and 31% in Prisa Media and Prisa Headquarters.
| Hours of training | 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Santillana | 45,111 | 31,170 | |
| Prisa Media | 19,305 | 9,950 | |
| Corporate | 843 | 147 | |
| Total | 65,259 | 41,267 |
The ratio of training hours per employee at Group level is 9 hours, calculated as the number of hours during the year divided by the number of employees at the end of the year. In the case of Santillana, the ratio is 13 hours, compared to 5 hours/employee for Prisa Media and 21 for Corporate Headquarters.

With regard to the distribution of training hours according to the responsibility of the people employed, 6% of the training hours have been invested in management staff (compared to 5% in 2021), 19% in middle management (compared to 24% in 2021) and 75% in other staff (compared to 80% in 2021).
As for the distribution of training hours by territory, 16% of training hours have been invested in Spain (17% in 2021) and the remaining 84% in the rest of the geographical areas where the Group operates (83% in 2021).

PRISA is a Group made up of a workforce with a great diversity of locations (23 countries) and nationalities (32 in 2022).
As commented in the "Quality Employment" section of this report, women represent 48% of the people working in PRISA (figures similar to those of 2021).
By professional category, women hold 42% of all managerial and middle management positions in the Group. By country, there is a majority female representation in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.

Diversity and non-discrimination are part of the corporate culture, and both are safeguarded by the company's Code of Ethics and Conduct and in its commitment to ensure fair and equal processes of recruitment, hiring and career development. This means that Group promotes equal opportunities in access to employment, training, and promotion for its employees, and prohibits discrimination based on their personal, physical or social status, whether for reasons of race, colour, nationality, social origins, age, sex, sexual orientation, civil status, ideology or religion.
With regard to gender equality, the collective bargaining agreements applicable to the various companies in Spain contain specific sections on equal treatment and opportunities for men and women, protocols for action in the event of harassment and other measures to drive equality in all areas.

The Group has a prevention and action protocol for dealing with situations of sexual, moral or employment harassment, designed to regulate fully all aspects directly related to any situation of harassment. The Whistleblower Channel is a tool for communicating potentially irregular conduct easily and confidentially.
In the Prisa Radio agreement there is a section headed "Prisa Radio Group's Equality Plan", which sets out measures to promote equal treatment and opportunities between men and women in terms of recruitment, promotion and career development, training, and work-life balance. The collective agreement for Ediciones El País also contains a section headed "Equality and Work-Life Balance Plan", which serves, among others, the goals of achieving a balanced representation of women in the business and access for women to management positions.
In 2020 Santillana signed the Equality Plan 2020-2024 applicable to its employees in Spain. Following the corporate changes brought about by the merger of the Media business units, work is underway to draw up equality plans, with good progress being made in the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, job descriptions and the development of the diagnosis of the business units.
The Group also has a procedure for reporting and dealing with psychosocial harm to employees in the area of harassment. In addition, in 2021 Media España presented a protocol against sexual and workplace harassment to the Legal Representation of Workers, which applies to all companies.
The total average remuneration, considering all job categories, is EUR 31 thousand. The average for men is EUR 34 thousand (10% above the average) and for women EUR 27 thousand (11% below the average.

Regarding the inclusion of disabled people in employment, in Spain PRISA has partnership agreements with special employment centres for the provision of certain services (mainly cleaning), and other cooperation mechanisms under Spanish law (donations to special employment centres). In 2022 the Group hired 36 people with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% (26 people in 2021). 56% of them work in Spain, 22% in Brazil and 17% in Ecuador. By gender, 23 are men and 13 women.

The Occupational Risk Prevention department in Spain, within the Human Resources area, is responsible for identifying psychosocial risk factors that may affect employee health. In Latin America, there are health and safety committees in several countries.
To promote the health and wellbeing of employees, Prisa Media in Spain has a corporate communication tool for the workforce, which is called Comunica. Throughout 2022 the Comunica tool's content has typically comprised recommendations on health prevention, news about the Group's activities, online training pills, conferences on emotional support and resilience, activities to promote work-life balance and digital disconnection, plus the dissemination of projects with a high level of employee participation.

There have been no occupational diseases during the year 2022.
In the area of accessibility to work centres, the Group has adapted its facilities in accordance with the applicable regulations. There have been no accessibility disputes or complaint mechanisms for lack of accessibility at workplaces.
Despite the fact that the sector in which the Group operates (media/audio-visual and education) has a low environmental impact, in PRISA's Code of Ethics and its Sustainability Master Plan 2022-2025 the Group makes a clear commitment to proper environmental management, efficient use of natural resources and adequate protection of the environment in which it operates, in order to minimise negative environmental impacts.
Although it is true that the progressive transformation of the business model and its activity towards the generation of content and distribution on digital platforms mean that its environmental impact is reduced compared to other sectors, the Group actively promotes protection of the environment and awareness raising and dissemination of good environmental practices in the content it creates and distributes and in its daily management. In 2021, the company's Environmental Policy was approved, establishing the following principles:

In 2022, the Group continued its work of dissemination and awareness raising among its employees, through the channels of "Comunica", in Prisa Media, and the "Santillana al día" daily bulletin, with topics such as "Children and the environment", "Control your digital footprint", "Responsible mobility" and "Chemicals and cleaning".
In 2022, the Group materialised its commitment to the environment with concrete actions:
In accordance with the roadmap established in the Sustainability Master Plan, in 2023, PRISA will begin an ambitious project focused on designing and implementing an environmental management system, aligned with the Environmental Policy and the Group's commitment to the fight against climate change. This project will provide an environmental diagnosis in all the countries where the company operates and will allow a roadmap towards climate neutrality to be made. The results of this work will be reported in the Non-Financial Information Statement for the next fiscal year.

In addition to disseminating the Environmental Policy and raising environmental awareness internally and externally, the Group follows the precautionary principle. Thus, in addition to its policy in this area, it has guarantees in its insurance programme in different countries to cover potential accidental and sudden polluting impacts that could be generated by its operations.
Thus, in line with corporate policies, the Group selects and maintains commercial relations with suppliers that ensure and promote responsible and sustainable environmental management, both in the purchase of materials directly linked to the publishing business, such as paper, and in the other areas for which services are contracted in the Group's companies. In all countries where the Group operates, special attention is paid to managing the collection, reuse and recycling of waste, for which there are authorised managers.
In order to make further progress in preventive measures, the request for information on the degree of commitment of the various bidding companies in the negotiation specifications for the provision of services by third parties, as well as their operational management and relationship with the contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda, is maintained.
One of PRISA Group's main environmental objectives is to promote the circular economy and properly manage waste. Consequently, prevention, recycling and other forms of waste recovery and disposal are constantly promoted.
For example, it implements operational and awareness-raising measures aimed at the workforce to reduce waste generation and incorporates improvements in waste segregation to ensure its correct recovery.
The business units promote the appropriate management of the waste generated, in line with the Group's environmental management. Waste has been managed and subsequently destroyed with approved suppliers, in particular confidential documentation, selective waste such as wood or scrap and WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment).
At Prisa Media, office waste is recycled via third parties, such as the municipal service of Madrid City Council, and the supplier to which the printer leasing service is outsourced, which recovers the toner cartridges.
At Santillana, the waste generated in offices and warehouses in all countries is also managed via third parties. For example, in Brazil, a specialised company collects non-recyclable waste for treatment in an authorized landfill, and the recyclables are subsequently collected by a family cooperative in charge of their separation and sale. In Mexico, the company has contracted HP's MPS service (managed printing services), whereby the empty toner cartridges are collected and reprocessed to be used again by Santillana or other customers.

PRISA Group promotes recycling actions, mainly of paper and cardboard, which are the most consumed raw materials due to the type of business and activity carried out.
In Santillana, in 2022, 77.5 tons of paper and cardboard from its offices and warehouses were sent for recycling, and 1,346.8 tons of obsolete, surplus, or discontinued books were given to third parties for recycling or sustainable management. It is also important to note the company's effort to adjust print runs in order to reduce warehouse stock as much as possible.
In Brazil, reuse of wooden pallets, wooden lids, cardboard sheets and cardboard corners in the National Book and Teaching Materials Programme (PNLD) has reached 91%. In Colombia, the waste generated in the different areas is sorted as paper, cardboard and plastic and delivered to a company in charge of its final disposal, in compliance with the country's environmental measures.
In the Prisa Media offices, 77 tons of paper was recycled by contracting of 782 hours of work from the OMEN company, which employs people at risk of social exclusion to do the work, and 7.58 tons of paper was recycled through confidential destruction. 281 tons of paper from promotional copies was also recycled.
In PRISA Group, most of the waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) following the replacement of computer equipment is recycled.
An example of the above are the 4 tons of recycled WEEE in Santillana Brasil or the 1.1 tons in Santillana México. The Group also recycled 3.42 tons of plastics.
At Prisa Media, following renovation of one of its data processing centres and computer equipment, an inventory of 2,700 hardware units was recycled, consisting of servers, computers, hard drives and Wi-Fi access points, among other devices.
PRISA Group is aware of the importance of making conscious, responsible use of the natural resources and materials consumed by its activity, thus ensuring that any negative environmental impact is minimised. Thus, the Group focuses on reducing consumption as much as possible and promoting actions that encourage sustainable development.
An example is the progress made in recent years in the consumption of sustainably-sourced paper, with percentages close to 100% in Spain and Latin America.


In 2022, PRISA Group's paper consumption was 17% lower than in 2021 (59,444 tons). It should be noted that 99% is sustainably sourced and 82% is certified by international standards (FSC, PEFC, SFI).

*We understand " Paper of unknown source " to refer to the consumption of paper for which we do not identify the manufacturer and, therefore, the traceability from its source. So, it is not possible to identify it as, or state it to be, sustainable or not.
At Prisa Media, 100% of the paper consumed for printing publications is sustainably sourced.
At Santillana, 99% of the paper and cardboard consumed to print products is sustainably sourced, and 77% has FSC or similar certification, which guarantees that it is sourced from sustainably managed forests.
The change with respect to 2021 is explained by, among other actions implemented, the lower volume of paper purchased by Brazil in 2022, the promotion of digitised processes (thus reducing the amount of printing in offices), and the reduction of the format of the AS sports newspaper, with a saving of 6%.
PRISA Group mainly consumes water for daily use in its offices and warehouses, as well as for the processes of cleaning its facilities. This water is obtained from the corresponding municipal public network. In no case does it have its own supply points.
By business unit, Santillana reduced its water consumption by 5%, while Prisa Media increased its consumption by 15%, mainly due to the return of employees to the offices following the end of the pandemic.

Total energy consumption in 2022 was 12% lower than in 2021 (down from 33.4 GWh to 29.4 GWh). In addition to the efficiency measures implemented, this reduction is explained by the fact that, since January 2022, PRISA no longer owns printing plants, and by the measures the Group has applied to improve efficiency continuously:

| Total consumption | 5.8 | 23.6 | 80% | 29.4 | 33.4 |
Of all the progress made, the increase in the proportion of renewable energy consumed (12% higher than in 2021) stands out. Looking at the business units, the high proportion of renewable energy consumed by Prisa Media (88%) stands out.
This progress is the result of two measures taken: from July 1, 2021, purchase of 100% renewable energy with a Guarantee of Origin (GDO) certificate in Spain, plus self-generation. In June 2022, a second photovoltaic plant was started up in the Miguel Yuste headquarters building, resulting in the production, from the two plants, of 189.63 MWh of clean energy for self-consumption.
Some Latin American countries, such as Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Costa Rica, have started to report their consumption percentage in relation to the generation mix published by their respective governments.

* Corrected data, in 2021 it was reported, due to a calculation error, 368,407 liters
In 2022, a significant reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels was achieved by replacing these sources of energy with renewably sourced energy, as explained in the previous section. In this way, the consumption of natural gas fell by 33% and diesel by 28% compared to 2021.

The Group is aware of the great challenge facing society, and especially the private business sector, in the fight against the climate emergency. It is therefore an essential part of the company's environmental strategy and objectives. Thus, with regard to minimising the impact of the Group's business activity, linked to the emission of greenhouse gases, the following measures have been established:
| Carbon footprint Scopes 1 and 2 (t CO₂ eq) | 2022 | 2021 | % Variation 2021-22 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Scope 1 emissions (t CO₂ eq) | 6,604 | 778 | 749% |
| Total Scope 2 emissions (t CO₂ eq) | 1,926 | 3,325 | -42 % |
In relation to the carbon footprint, Scope 1 emissions increased significantly in 2022 due to the reclassification of some emission sources that in 2021 were reported within Scope 3, such as fuel consumption (diesel and gasoline) of the Group's long-term car rentals. In 2022, this resulted in an increase of 6,002 t CO2e in Scope 1 emissions.
The Scope 2 carbon footprint was reduced by 42% compared to 2021 as a result of switching to 100% renewable energy in Prisa Media Spain.
With regard to the calculation of the emissions of the value chain (Scope 3 emissions), in line with the objective of improving transparency and diligence with regard to the impact on the natural environment, in 2022 the following were included in the calculation:
calculation: 52 servers x 916 kg CO2e/year = 47,632 kg CO2e/year
6 262 desktops to laptops = saving 44,268 kg CO2e/year
calculation: laptops (262 x 169 kg CO2e/year = 44,268)
52 servers shut down - saving 174,956 kg CO2e/year
Total = 91,900 kg CO2e/year

Lastly, in 2022, we continued to monitor the scope of the actions that the Group can directly manage on the impact on the environment and the energy it directly requires for its activity (Scopes 1 and 2).
As a consequence of the above-mentioned increase in Scope 1, the cost that the carbon footprint generates for the Group's business due to the direct emissions required for its activity has also increased.

Due to PRISA's type of business and based on the analysis carried out in the Non-Financial Risk Map, it has been determined that the business activity has low impact on biodiversity because this activity is carried out in urban areas or industrial estates where there is a low risk of affecting biodiversity.
Companies providing catering services at group facilities are now working with responsible management procedures to reduce food waste.
An initiative has been implemented at Prisa Media's Miguel Yuste offices to reduce food waste in the catering centre for employees. The Last minute programme has prevented 127 kg of food from ending its useful life cycle as waste.

The European environmental taxonomy of sustainable finance is a classification of economic activities that contributes to achieving the environmental objectives of the European Union and allows investors to know objectively if an activity is sustainable or not.
Currently, the regulatory implementation only requires reporting of climate change mitigation and adaptation to it.
The regulatory framework of the Taxonomy is currently defined by the following regulations:
As this regulation still being implemented, there is some degree of uncertainty regarding the application and interpretation of certain aspects of it.
Non-financial entities will disclose the proportion of their activities aligned for adaptation and mitigation objectives. Here it is important to remember what is understood by "eligible activity" and "aligned activity":
• Eligible activity (reported in this report): any activity that has potential to contribute substantially to one or more of the environmental objectives defined by the EU Taxonomy Regulation (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139) in its annexes I (mitigation) and II (adaptation).

• Aligned activity: eligible activities that meet the requisites of a substantial contribution to at least one of the six objectives defined in the Regulation, that comply with the principle of doing no significant harm to the other objectives, and that comply with the minimum social guarantees in line with OECD Guidelines and the UN's Guiding Principles.
In 2021, the Group made an eligibility analysis of the activities carried out, in accordance with the provisions of current regulations.
In 2022, this eligibility exercise has been reviewed, leading to a revision of the criteria applied in 2021.
Regarding compliance with the alignment criteria, the PRISA Group will carry out, as part of its Strategic Sustainability Plan 22-25, an evaluation of the exposure of its activity to the physical climatic risks in appendix A of Royal Decree 2021/2139 in order to be able to determine, as applicable, the alignment of the activities considered eligible.
As part of its continuous improvement exercise, in 2022 PRISA once again compared its main activities with the catalogue of activities published by the EU Taxonomy regulations.
Following the analysis made, based on the breakdown at accounting and management level of income and expenses for each of the three indicators considered key, a new eligible activity was identified that can contribute substantially to adaptation to climate change:
The analysis carried out is based on the accounting and management breakdown of the income, CapEX and OpEX items. The Group's consolidated information was used. The identification of items was based on corporate management control criteria.
This indicator shows the relative importance of the net business volume arising from products or services associated with economic activities contemplated by the Taxonomy over total net Income.

The PRISA Group is aware that, in order to achieve true sustainability, it must manage and work towards a responsible value chain, with practices, policies and procedures that are in line with the environmental and social impact of the management of this matter by its suppliers.
In October 2022, PRISA's Board of Directors approved the Suppliers' Code of Ethics and Conduct, which indicates the behaviour expected of the Group's suppliers on matters of legislation, human rights, employment rights, business ethics, anti-corruption measures, environmental protection, and confidentiality and privacy.
All negotiation specifications include a reference to the obligation for suppliers to know and accept the Code, and the contracts signed with awarded suppliers have a clause expressly included requiring them to assume and comply with the strictest principles of responsibility, transparency and business ethics, and to declare that they are fully aware of the provisions of the Code of Conduct and Ethics for Suppliers currently in force and published on the Group's website www.prisa.es.
PRISA has a supplier approval procedure that establishes the guidelines on knowing, evaluating, and validating certain supplier capacities and conditions, prior a commercial relationship with any PRISA Group company being established and formalised.
The purpose of these guidelines is to implement a homogeneous, standardised, systematised, transparent and objective procedure for the identification, approval, and periodic evaluation of the suppliers with which the Group works, ensuring that the procedure to maintain them or include them in PRISA's value chain has conditions with full guarantees and the minimisation of any risks that could impact the Group's reputation.
In accordance with the standards established by PRISA, and aligned with the principles of the Global Compact, suppliers must respond to the request they receive from the Purchasing Department by providing information on their sustainability position in the following fields:
Those that correctly comply with the above procedure and keep the information updated are considered approved suppliers for the Group.
In 2022, 73% of the PRISA's Group suppliers have been approved in terms of environmental practices, employment practices, human rights and social aspects, the rate was similar to that of the previous year.

Due to the progressive migration of our businesses to digital formats, the demand for technological, energy and professional services is increasing, reducing the need for paper and printing. Therefore, the risks associated with waste management are decreasing and are continually monitored in the course of activity, so it is not planned to carry out an audit of the current supplier base in the medium term.
The company has set itself the objective of continuing its commitment to developing and generating a positive impact on its suppliers, promoting a local value chain, in line with the United Nations' Agenda 2030 and, in particular, with SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth.
In this respect, the objective is to maintain a consolidated allocation in each business grouping, over the next three years of more than 80% of the payments to be made to suppliers with a tax residence where the purchase and delivery of the product or service takes place.
Thus, in 2022, payments to suppliers for the entire PRISA Group amounted to 569 million euros, 91% of which were made to local suppliers (EUR 517 million). By Business Unit, Santillana and Prisa Media account for 91% and 90% respectively of their spending with local suppliers.

PRISA is a leader in the creation and distribution of cultural, educational, informational and entertainment content for Spanish and Portuguese language markets. It aspires to use its leadership to generate a positive social impact. PRISA works towards social progress by contributing to the economy in the regions where it operates, through public participation, commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, support for non-profit entities, and by responding to the demands of its users, readers, and listeners.
PRISA's direct impact on society is reflected in the value generated and distributed in 2022. The Group's direct contribution is a consequence of its business activity. Thus, it details its income and the expenses incurred, including payments to staff, associated with the contribution of value in the generation of employment.

In 2022, the Group generated value of EUR 861,738 thousand and contributed distributed value of EUR 860,772 thousand, representing an increase of 14.3% on the value generated and 15.8% on the value distributed in 2021. Personnel expenses accounted for 34.6% of the total economic value distributed. This represents a high impact in terms of employment. PRISA is a dynamic group with a significant international presence, mobilising a diverse and multicultural workforce. It has 7,222 employees, most of them recruited locally where the Group operates. Therefore, it is an activating agent for employment and for social and economic development and growth in the different communities.
Prisa Media, with 3,786 employees, boosts the employment markets mainly in Spain, Colombia, Mexico and Chile, through the radio and press activity of its brands, and promotes the employability of university students through educational cooperation agreements with universities in their regions.
In Spain, it also collaborates with the FCT Job Training Centres, helping students from intermediate and higher-level training courses to improve their professional profile. It also collaborates with the Human Age Foundation for social and employment inclusion of people with disabilities. Currently, a scholarship is available in Barcelona aimed at helping to close the gap between the world of work and people with disabilities.
In Colombia, the Caracol broadcaster, together with the NGO Ayuda En Acción and Externado University, offers the 2022 regional journalism scholarship, "there is a future, we leave our mark", an initiative that stimulates regional journalism and offers one of the winners a journalism internship at their local broadcasting station.
Santillana, through its activity, boosts the economy in the educational sector in the regions where it operates and also boosts business in other sectors. In addition to the direct employment generated (3,395 employees), its main activity has a positive impact on creating indirect employment in the graphic industry and in printers, sales channels (bookshops/e-commerce), in the logistics and distribution sector and in the digital industry (platforms), and on the employability of other freelance professionals, such as authors, designers, editors, proofreaders, illustrators, etc.

The educational forums and events that Santillana organises to educate the educational community on new methodological, technological or socio-emotional trends also contribute to revitalising the industries associated with this type of activity, such as the marketing and restaurant sectors.
Santillana also promotes the development of local employment through initiatives like the company's programme of apprenticeships and internship in different areas of the company in Brazil. Currently, there are 11 apprentices and 8 interns. Its SFB educational system promotes student entrepreneurship through the Start SFB contest, which rewards innovative business projects, aided by mentors and an online project development platform.
In Ecuador, Santillana participates actively, through the Ministry of Employment, in the employability of people with disabilities, and it promotes "University Internships" and access to their first job for young people between 18 and 26 years of age. Mexico participates in job fairs organised by universities, and in government and private job exchanges. It also has talent seedbeds and supports micro-entrepreneurs in the distribution and sale of educational materials in the agreed-exchange-rate market.
The impact on employment is complemented by the positive impact, beyond that of purely informative and educational content, that the activity of PRISA and its business units has on local populations. Numerous forums and events strengthen links and communication with stakeholders, especially with local audiences and educational communities, offering meeting spaces, information, training and knowledge on numerous topics.
In Santillana, 2022 saw the following notable advances in the promotion of sustainable development: Sustainable Development Goals incorporated across new educational content as of 2023; teacher training initiatives in this area; social projects impacting minorities and students in vulnerable situations; actions aimed at reducing our environmental footprint; and a greater institutional commitment to local and regional ESG entities in Latin America.
The Education business unit's commitment to sustainability is also channelled through the Santillana Foundation, which in 2022 continued to play a very relevant role in countries such as Brazil and Argentina in fostering debate and promoting inclusive and equal education.
Through its brands, Prisa Media works hard to raise awareness about social and environmental challenges, in its news content and in spaces dedicated to reflection and airing expert opinion. Initiatives like Future Planet, Future America, Materia and Retina, the social and climate pages and the gender correspondent of El País newspaper, the good governance section of Cinco Días newspaper and Cadena SER radio's news and programmes, are just some of the many windows engaging the public with current events from a sustainability perspective.
But it also mobilises people through the numerous forums and events held with collaborating or sponsoring entities, in a clear contribution to SDG 17, partnerships for the goals.

The future of work, geopolitical and economic trends, social and climate challenges, urban mobility, depopulated Spain, energy and digital transformation, sustainable finance and wellbeing are some of the main topics with an ESG element that are addressed, in addition to the commitment to humanitarian aid, equality and diversity.
In Colombia, the CARACOL-Radio W Foundation was created in November 2022, with the corporate purpose of encouraging, supporting, promoting, and developing activities, programmes and projects related to culture, social development, environmental protection, science and technology, business development, human rights and institutional strengthening.
PRISA is firmly committed to sustainable development and to the United Nations' Agenda 2030.
PRISA's 2022-2025 Sustainability Master Plan (SMP) has seven priority Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for its activity: quality education (SDG 4); gender equality (SDG 5); decent work and economic growth (SDG 8); reduction of inequalities (SDG 10); responsible consumption and production (SDG 12); climate action (SDG 13); and peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16). Plus the cross-cutting SDG of partnerships for achieving the goals (SDG 17). In 2022, the Group developed multiple initiatives specifically aimed at contributing to the seven strategic objectives and SDG 17.

Undoubtedly, one of the most significant SDGs, towards which PRISA's Santillana business unit makes a decisive contribution. Its commitment is to offer life opportunities through education, leading the transformation and the improvement of education centres in Latin America, offering students, teachers and schools a quality education that is inclusive and equal. The company stands as an ally of schools in meeting the challenge of educating on sustainable development. To this end, it contributes to teacher training, with specific courses on ESG, and to raising awareness in students, with contents that reflect the diversity of society and stimulate reflection on the great global challenges (social and environmental) in Agenda 2030.
One of the SMP's key objectives is precisely to incorporate sustainable development in 100% of Santillana's new educational projects by 2025, already to reach 45% in 2023, with content on sustainability and the SDGs for students and teachers. Projects like Amazement of Sharing, for preschool and primary school pupils in Mexico, includes learning phases inspired by the SDGs to be worked on from an early age. In Colombia, Actively Digital, Chrysalis and Set 21 Robotics get students of different educational levels involved in constructing solutions to the problems and challenges posed by the different SDGs.
Fostering reading is another area in which Santillana disseminates and raises awareness about sustainability, with more than 2,000 books for use in working on the SDGs. Digital What-I-Read includes activities to get students in touch with Agenda 2030 in a practical way.
Also in 2022, an online mini-training course on SDGs was offered to 100% of the teachers registered on the Training Paths platform, reaching 6,152 people.

SDG 4, Quality education

In addition to raising awareness among students and teachers through content, Santillana's social action strategy seeks to respond to United Nations Target 4.5, which proposes to "eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and children in vulnerable situations". The #VoyaSer programme, run in Peru and Guatemala, helps indigenous girls in vulnerable situations to complete secondary education and train in digital and social skills that help them in their personal and professional development. This initiative, developed in partnership with the Entreculturas Foundation and the Fe y Alegría education movement, was one of the good practices finalist in the Global Sustainability Week Awards in Spain.
The Santillana Foundation also carries out actions to promote dialogue and reflection to promote a more equal, diverse and inclusive education. In 2022 alone, the activities and publications in Brazil reached close to 200,000 people. In Argentina, it has continued to contribute to the educational debate, with publications such as 50 teachers who are transforming Latin America, and highlighting good practices with the VIVALectura Award.
Prisa Media's impact on SDG4 in 2022 has been in the form of forums such as El País with your future, an educational meeting place focused on the world of work and professional development that gives career guidance to young people in their last year of secondary school and vocational training school. A total of 23 experts in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, blockchain and cybersecurity explained their work to 975 students.
Since 1986, PRISA has been involved with the UAM-El País School of Journalism, a non-profit foundation controlled in equal shares by the Autónoma University of Madrid and El País. Its main activity is the Master's degree in journalism, which had 69 students in 2022.
In Colombia, W Radio took part again last year in the Vamos Pa'lante (Go Ahead) campaign, run by Los Andes University and five other universities in the country, to grant scholarships to support undergraduate students at risk of dropping out from their studies for economic reasons. In 2022, grants were given to 1,128 students.

SDG 5, Gender equality
In Santillana, awareness about equal opportunities and gender non-discrimination is raised through projects such as #VoyaSer, aimed specifically at girls, in a bid to stimulate female talent, providing tools for empowerment and personal and academic growth.
The Sustainability Master Plan includes the creation of editorial guidelines to reinforce gender parity in the images and illustrations in educational content and so reflect the social reality of female representation.

SDG 5, Gender equality

Prisa Media, through the Cadena Dial radio station, continued with the campaign Equal in Diversity. Really Free in favour of a diverse society, with equal rights and opportunities. In 2022, it focused its actions on giving visibility to diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.

On ADN Chile, the podcast Women in sport makes known the stories of the country's leading women athletes, the disciplines in which they stand out, and their views of the future to inspire new generations.
El País newspaper has had as gender correspondent since 2018, a pioneer in Spain and one of the first to cover this topic in the world, whose reporting focuses on defending women's rights and combatting gender violence. In November, the gender correspondent, Isabel Valdés, received the Meninas 2022 award given by the Government Delegation in Madrid.
Other forums, such as Female Talent, organised by El País, have provided an opportunity to reflect on leadership for social transformation and how to close the gender gap at the top of organisations.

Prisa Media held important economic and employment forums, such as the well-known El país with your future and Work of the future and the future of work, organised by Retina, on the need to train future generations to put innovation at the service of personal and social well-being.
The Cinco Días Awards for Business Innovation, in their fifteenth edition, have become a key event in the business world, recognising the most innovative projects in the business sector, including a specific "more responsible initiative" category. Los The Radio San Sebastián Excellence Awards also recognise people, companies and institutions in Gipuzkoa with an outstanding record, some of them in the field of social impact.

SDG 10, Reduced inequalities
Santillana develops different educational projects to promote the inclusion of students, regardless of their different abilities, gender, race or ethnicity. In addition to the #VoyaSer programme, aimed at indigenous girls in vulnerable situations, the Santillana Foundation in Brazil has created a podcast that addresses the need to move towards democratic education that combats ethnic and racial inequalities.
In language teaching, a new digital reading programme, Richmond iRead, has been created for primary and secondary levels to help students with dyslexia improve their learning.

It includes curricular materials adapted to students of different abilities or functional diversity, and psycho-pedagogical guidance and advice to schools.
At Prisa Media, initiatives have been carried out such as Radio SER's Depopulated Spain, a travelling event that every year visits at least 10 Spanish municipalities affected by depopulation, seeking to give them a voice and learn about success stories and different models of living.
SDG 12, Responsible consumption and production

Making society aware of responsible consumption is key to advancing sustainable development. Closely related to SDG13, Climate Action, Prisa Media does an extraordinary job of radio and press reporting, and in different forums for reflection. The Global Cities series, organized by El País, has addressed issues such as urban mobility and energy renovation, and Depopulated Spain, on Cadena SER, also discovers more sustainable models of consumption and rural life.
Podium Podcast, PRISA's native podcast platform, was used in 2022 to launch U-turn, an audio branding podcast that tries to answer questions like what type of energy we should consume, where does what we eat come from, what impact do the brands we choose have on our environment, and what waste do we generate daily.
Cadena SER's Wellness Congresses are also spaces for reflecting on the relationship between nature and well-being, on consumerism and our way of life, and the need for models that facilitate personal and emotional balance.

Caracol radio also supports the Climate Emergency Summit, of the Government of Antioquia, with information and advice to listeners on how to adopt practices that are responsible to their environment.
Especially important for Santillana is Target 13.3, which proposes to "improve education, awareness raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning." To this end, it has launched initiatives such as the workshop held in Puerto Rico on hurricanes and their impact, from the perspective of learning and community self-management, aimed at teachers and families. Also of note is Santillana Honduras's participation in the Climate Friendly Schools project, in which students from different schools learned over a period of two months about energy saving, about the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) and how to act in the event of a natural disaster. They planted more than 2,500 trees and built models from reusable materials, which were exhibited at the Recycling Fair and Recyclathon 2022.


Prisa Media's media outlets have the vocation and mission to offer daily reporting that is full and truthful, current and of high quality, in order to help readers, listeners and users to understand the reality they live in and to form their own criteria.
In 2018, El País joined The Trust Project an initiative that was launched with the aim of strengthening public trust in the media through greater transparency and accountability. By creating a set of trust indicators and digital standards, this project aims to identify and prioritise quality information from rigorous media.

Prestigious awards, like the Ortega y Gasset Journalism Awards, created in 1984 by El País, highlight the best journalistic works, originally published in Spanish, during the previous year, which exemplify defending freedoms, independence and rigour as virtues of the profession. The 39th edition of the awards recognised two reports supportive of victims of the abuse of power, a photograph that captured the pain caused by cancer and of hope in the face of the disease, and the career of two journalists who died to the honour of the best values of the profession. The Ondas Awards|, after 68 editions, maintain their objective of recognising and promoting radio, music and television productions that contribute innovative elements and improve the audience experience. 2022 saw another record level of participation, with 559 candidates from 15 countries.
Forums, such as Retina's Trends, Ideas for a brand new world, or SER's Conversation, have had an impact on SDG16, as have Caracol Radio's Challenges to Democracy series and ADN's Constituent Citizen podcast in Chile, where constitutional experts answered questions about the country's new constitution.

The company communicates information through it that, under current legislation, is considered privileged or relevant, as well as any other economic-financial, nonfinancial and corporate information required by applicable legislation.
The corporate website (www.prisa.com) has a specific "Shareholders and investors" section with all the information required by the Capital Companies Act and by stock market regulations, and the legally required information related to calling and holding general shareholders' meetings and the resources to promote participation. It also retransmits via streaming the company's regularly held meetings and presentations of financial results.
The company regularly organises informative meetings on the progress of the company and the Group, and on other aspects of interest to analysts and institutional investors (roadshows) in important financial centres in Spain and other countries, which are attended by the CEOs and other executives of the organisation.
In these informative settings, the company takes special account of the rules on processing privileged information and other relevant information, and relations with shareholders and with the markets provided for in law and in the company's internal regulations (in particular, the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, the internal regulations on conduct in matters relating to securities markets and the Code of Ethics).
In the event that the information generated in the company may be classified as privileged information or other relevant information, a communication of in this regard will be sent to the CNMV in advance through the authorised interlocutors designated by the company for this purpose.
Information pending communication to the CNMV may not be disseminated by any other means before it has been published on its website. The content of any information disseminated to the market through any channel of information or communication other than the CNMV must be consistent with the information sent to the CNMV.

At organisation level, the Investor Relations Department (integrated in the Investor Relations Department, which reports, in turn, to the company's Economic-Financial Department) mainly attends to analysts and institutional investors, and the information that provided is fundamentally linked to the management and financial results of the company, as well as its progress in the markets. This department also deals with any questions that may be asked by retail shareholders about the share's evolution in the markets.
In 2022, a total of 86 meetings with shareholders and investors were held. Direct meetings, seminars organised by third parties and two roadshows held in London and Barcelona have all contributed to this figure.

A face-to-face and virtual event for investors and analysts who regularly follow the company's activity.
This milestone and the all the work done by the department was rewarded with the Spanish Association for Investor Relations' award for the small cap in Spain that has most improved its Investor Relations programme. This recognition gives impetus to the area's objectives for the future: to offer content with more financial detail and that is easier for its users to understand, and to continue improving communication on sustainability to give visibility to the company's progress and improve its presence in sustainability indices.
The Shareholders' Office (part of the Board of Directors Secretariat) mainly attends retail shareholders and provides information on company corporate governance matters (how to access the available information, guidance on the corporate website, issues related to general shareholders' meetings, etc.).
The Department of Communication and Institutional Relations, among other functions, prepares and distributes press releases to the media with news about the company or its business group, and deals with queries, suggestions, and complaints. It also uses social networks as a vehicle to release news about the company or its business group.
The company has a complaints channel, accessible on the corporate website, for all PRISA stakeholders. This can be used to lodge complaints about any possible irregularity or noncompliance related to bad financial, accounting, commercial or regulatory compliance practices committed by Group employees or companies. This is a channel of confidential communication between stakeholders and the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and management of the company.
Within the framework of the company's General Shareholders' Meeting, one of the Board of Directors' objectives is to promote the informed and responsible participation of shareholders and to adopt all the appropriate measures and guarantees to facilitate the general meeting's effective exercise of the functions assigned to it by the law and by the company's corporate governance regulations.

* Linking the SDGs and the GRI Standards, Last updated May

The Group is constantly adapting applications and management processes to changes occurring in its businesses, as well as technological changes. It participates in and is a member of various international and domestic associations and forums which enable it to identify possible improvements or opportunities to innovate and develop its services, processes and management systems.
Education:
In terms of Education, in 2022, schools went back to normal in Latin America and this has had an impact on Santillana's activity and results.
In this new post-pandemic era, Santillana is still committed to leading the educational and digital transformation in Latin American schools. The company offers top-quality innovative projects that cater to the needs of each school and provides added value services, such as training for teachers and consultancy services.
In Brazil and Mexico, Santillana's primary digital markets, this year has seen the launch of the Integrated Digital Ecosystem (EDI, Ecosistema Digital Integrado), an environment that serves as a meeting point for all of the group's educational systems along with other features adapted to the needs and digital maturity of each school, such as the Santillana Agenda, a communication channel for schools and families.
The online evaluation tool Pleno has been a key tool for teachers in 2022, as it allows for daily monitoring of the students' learning process, with over 5.5 million evaluations.
Regarding Training Routes (Rutas Formativas), Santillana's virtual training space for teachers and school coordinators and managers, it has provided a large amount of virtual training content, with programmes aimed at improving their knowledge and competencies in areas such as digital skills, new methodologies, leadership, and management solutions. New training sections have been added regarding the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in line with Santillana's commitment of facilitating the 2030 Agenda for schools.
Major educational projects have been created in 2022. All of them have included sustainability contents across the board. The aim is to help students understand and internalise the great challenges we face as a society, such as social inequality, loss of biodiversity, and climate change, among others.
One of the publishing novelties is Asombro, a project that takes the Sustainable Development Goals very seriously. It is part of Compartir México (Share Mexico) for pre-school and primary education levels and revolves around three subjects: educational neuroscience, transmedia, and project-based learning.
Also in Mexico, UNOIntelligence has been launched: a never-seen-before concept based on intelligent data that will be implemented in secondary education schools of the UNOi network.
Additionally, a new proposal for technological skills has been launched in Colombia: SET XXI Robótica, an updated proposal adapted to the post-pandemic world with an emphasis on

computational thinking and the involvement of students in the search for solutions to major global issues.
In Peru, a new Secundaria para Compartir (Secondary for Sharing) proposal has been launched, including significant innovations both in methodology -with project-based learning and new methods- and in digital tools -with interactive sequences and the possibility of measuring results. Similarly, in Northern Central America, a new Primaria para Compartir (Primary for Sharing) project has been launched, reinforcing the traceability and interactiveness of the learning process.
In the Languages area, we must highlight Richmond iRead, Santillana's new digital reading programme for English students in primary and secondary education. On the other hand, in the Children and Young Adult Literature line, the main milestones have been focused on Loqueleo digital, an ecosystem for all stages of education that enhances the reading experience through reading, audiobooks, and learning of reading skills.
Media:
In Media, we have continued working along the guidelines established in the 2021-2024 Technology Master Plan, with key milestones for the modernisation and replacement of legacy systems with modern Cloud- and Edge-based alternatives. This sets the foundations to ensure competitiveness both in Radio and News in the medium term and to face the uncertainty of the market from a technologically solid position.
In the Subscription product, new experiences have been launched through several channels and with agreements with companies such as Renfe and Amazon, new developments and upgrades to the EL PAÍS application, and the participation in new channels such as the Google Showcase platform, intended to share higher quality content to provide a new communication experience.
There has also been significant in Video, with Universo Mundial as one of the most significant ones: the first streaming platform from PRISA Media that covered the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, offering exclusive content, news shows, and live broadcast of latest news. This project was an unprecedented display that involved over 150 radio and press professionals led by the PRISA Video staff. Daily 12-hour broadcasts and multichannel broadcasting on AS, Cadena SER, EL PAÍS and HuffPost.
World Cup reporting on the EL PAÍS website was also improved with the addition of a new live broadcasting platform, LED, which brought a significant visual and indexing upgrade to this type of reporting on search engines.
Other innovative updates in video were materialised thanks to the agreement with Dailymotion for the creation of a channel and the addition of an embedded player in some of the videos. There was also a new video channel for connected television with EL PAÍS including documentaries, investigative journalism, and entertainment products on Samsung TV and the streaming platform Tivify.
The year 2022 saw the implementation on AS of ARC XP, the Washington Post publishing and editing framework as its new CMS, and Prisa's publishing platform, on all editions of As.com. This process was a tiered implementation across the various regions in which As operates and concluded in June with a global edition. All editions of AS.com are now working on this platform. This technology serves to save in development and maintenance costs, standardise

news reporting protocols with other business units, and improve security and stability thanks to the use of a shared solution.
One of the most ambitious proposals we want to develop alongside Diario AS is registrationonly products and/or services targeted at reaching a younger audience. That is why, in cooperation with the global leading company in gaming solutions Gameloft (owned by Vivendi), we have launched AS Gaming Club, a new free-of-charge, registration-only service with a catalogue of over 180 games of various genres. The video game portal, AS Gaming Club, boasts a novelty gamification system and numerous rewards for users, since members can complete a series of daily missions that reward them with virtual currency they can exchange for real-life prizes and rewards, such as gift cards for Amazon, Decathlon, Zalando, Netflix, Google Play, Apple, and many more.
Early this year, AS reached an agreement with Dailymotion to use its video player on AS websites and verticals. Using this distribution and video visualisation technology allows for a much better monetisation of the inventory and distribution on different channels, including their own. Dailymotion is a France-based company owned by Vivendi that operates in several international markets.
Regarding Radio, in 2022 the company has promoted consumption of all audio of spoken radio brands on its main websites. For years, radio consumption has been limited to external players (playser.cadenaser.com) while information was consumed on the main site (cadenaser.com). This year, the main sites Cadenaser.com and Caracol.com have been prepared so this consumption takes place on the main website and playser.cadenaser.com has been finally removed and its traffic redirected to cadenaser.com. The Caracol and WRadio external players will also be removed and redirected during 2023.
This deployment has taken place after the migration of Cadena Ser and Caracol in 2022 from its original CMS, PEP, to ARC, the content manager that is being implemented transversally throughout Prisa Media. The impact has been very positive, particularly on performance and SEO, given that Cadena SER has virtually doubled its presence in Discovery and other Google products.
One of the most significant wagers this year was the commitment to conversational audio: developing audio interfaces that allow for voice interactions with the user. In 2022, Victoria, the voice of football, was developed alongside Amazon. This initiative has entailed the creation of a synthetic voice, a voice that has been created from scratch based on neural networks. The acoustic personality of this voice was designed hand in hand with the Carrusel Deportivo staff, resulting in a mature female voice that transmits credibility and knowledge. Moreover, Victoria is one of Alexa's skills that lets the listener generate an entire experience around their favourite football time, since it provides statistics, latest news (read from AS), streaming of local matches, etc. In only 2 weeks, Victoria achieved over 100,000 interactions on Amazon.
Lastly, this year also saw the creation of two AI-powered audio distribution projects. Tailorcast was developed alongside Google as an evolution of the existing podcast recommendation engine to transform it into a customisation engine. Now, Tailorcast not only offers personalised podcast lists but also recommended listening lists based on parameters such as podcasts or episodes linked in the past. This year, Tailorcast has been implemented in the Podium add, yielding a 70% increase in podcast listening.

Progress has also been made this year in the IAudio project, which has allowed for automatic cuts of bulletins and programmes to extract and clean up advertising. Although this was already being done, artificial intelligence has made these cuts cleaner and much more refined. The project also allows for transcription of all of Cadena SER live broadcasts for subsequent insertion into documentation.
During 2022, the Data and Analytics area of PRISA Media has continued consolidating its modelling and dashboarding efforts, and architecture and governance discussions have taken place with the aim of simplifying group-level operations. The number of sign-ups has continued its upward trend (7.1 million) and the following cookieless ID monetisation routes have been opened:
One of the bottlenecks detected during the deployment of models has been the effort involved in its maintenance and commissioning. In 2022, an MLOps project has been developed, which has allowed for the incorporation of a new component into the DATA infrastructure of the group with the following features:
Note 11b "Financial Liabilities" to the PRISA´s consolidated financial statements 2022 provides a description of the use of financial instruments by the Group.
Note 24 "Future Commitments" to the PRISA´s consolidated financial statements provide information on firm commitments giving rise to future cash outflows and associated with purchases and services received.

Note 9c "Current assets and liabilities" to the PRISA´s consolidated financial statements of 2022 details the cash and other cash equivalents held by the Group at the end of the year.
PRISA does not have a set dividend policy, and so the Group's distribution of dividends is reviewed annually. In this respect, the distribution of dividends depends mainly on (i) the existence of profit that can be distributed and the Company's financial situation, (ii) its obligations regarding debt servicing and those arising from commitments acquired with its financial creditors in the Group's financing contracts, (iii) the generation of cash arising from its normal course of business, (iv) the existence or non-existence of attractive investment opportunities that could generate value for the Group's shareholders, (v) the Group's reinvestment needs, (vi) the implementation of PRISA's business plan, and (vii) other factors PRISA should consider relevant at any given time.
PRISA has performed, and may consider performing, transactions with treasury shares. These transactions will always be for legitimate purposes, including:
The operations of treasury shares, don´t realize on the basis of privilege information, nor respond to an intervention purpose in the free process of price formation.
At December 31, 2022, Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. held a total of 1,425,317 treasury shares, representing 0.192% of its share capital.
Treasury shares are valued at market price at December 31, 2022 (0.281 euros per share). The market value of the treasury shares at December 31, 2022 amounts to EUR 401 thousand.
At December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any shares on loan.
Description of PRISA's shareholder structure.
PRISA's share capital on December 31, 2022 consisted of EUR 74,065 thousand and was represented by 740,650,193 ordinary shares all of which belong to the same class and series, with a par value of EUR 0.10 each, fully paid up and with identical rights. On December 2021, Prisa's share capital amounted to Euros 70,865 thousand and was represented by 708,650,193 ordinary shares, all of the same class and series, with a par value of EUE 0.10 each. During fiscal year 2022, a capital increase of 32 million ordinary shares with a par value of Eur 0.10 each was carried out.

These shares are listed on the Spanish stock exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia) through the Spanish Stock Exchange Interconnection System (SIBE).
At year-end 2022, the most representative shareholders in the share capital of the company are Mr. Joseph Oughourlian (through Amber Capital UK LLP), Vivendi, Rucandio, Global Alconaba, Shk. Dr. Khalid Bin Thani Bin Abdullah Al-Thani (through International Media Group), Mr. Roberto Alcántara Rojas (through Consorcio Transportista Occher SA), Banco Santander, Control Empresarial de Capitales and Mr. Carlos Fernández. The company's free float is around 20%.
During fiscal year 2022, the main change in the shareholding structure was the entry of Global Alconaba, with a 7.076% stake in the share capital (which, after the capital increase carried out in June 2022, remained at 6.77% of the share capital). Global Alconaba acquired this stake from Telefónica SA.
Following this transaction, Telefónica SA (which on December 31, 2021 held 9.03% of PRISA's share capital) has seen its stake in the Company's share capital reduced to 1.869%.
Prisa's ordinary share price in 2021 ended at EUR 0.565 (December 31, 2021) and in 2022 closed at EUR 0.281 per share (December 30, 2022), a devaluation of 50.3% over the year.
PRISA's share performance in 2022 has been conditioned by the global macroeconomic situation, strongly marked by the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine that started at the beginning of the year, and which has led to an increase in liquidity tensions in the economy with an increase in interest rates and high inflation rates.
During fiscal year 2022, the Company's Directors have continued focusing their efforts on the reinforcement of the Group's financial and equity structure. To this end, a debt refinancing agreement was reached with new lenders and improving the existing conditions (extending the maturity, introducing more appropriate covenants, greater flexibility, and optionality). In addition, for the first time in the Company's history, a strategic plan with defined goals for 2025 was presented at a Capital Markets Day.

The following chart shows the performance of the PRISA Group's shares relative to the IBEX35 index in 2022, indexed in both cases to 100:

Source: Bloomberg (31st December 2021- 30th December 2022)
According to the information required by the third additional provision of Law 15/2010, of July 5, (amended by the second final provision of Law 31/2014, of 3 December) approved in accordance with the resolution of ICAC (Spanish Accounting and Audit Institute) of January 29, 2016, the average period of payment to suppliers in commercial operations for companies of Grupo PRISA located in Spain rises, in 2022, to 71 days (see note 24 in the attached consolidated financial statements).
The maximum legal period of payment applicable in 2022 and 2021 under Law 3/2004, of December 29 and its modification by the Law 15/2010 of July 5, for combating late payment in commercial transactions, is by default 60 days. The average period of payment to the Group's suppliers exceeds the statutory maximum period partially on account of agreements arrived at with suppliers to defer payments or, where relevant, to initiate expenditure.
In 2022 there has been an increase in the average period of payment to suppliers caused, in part, by the agreements reached with suppliers related to the Refinancing of the Group's debt in April 2022. The ratio of transactions pending payment has increased in relation to 2021, fundamentally, by negotiation with technological suppliers to extend the expiration of invoices.
During the next financial year, the Directors will take the appropriate measures to reduce, as far as possible, the average period of payment to suppliers to the levels permitted by Law, except in those cases in which there are specific agreements with suppliers that establish a longer term.

In January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the company, with preemptive subscription rights of PRISA shareholders. This issue takes place through a public offer for subscription of a nominal amount up to a total of EUR 130 million, through the issue and putting into circulation of up to a total of 351,350 convertible bonds with a face value of EUR 370 each.
The maturity date of these convertible bonds and conversion into new shares will be on the fifth anniversary of the issue date (February 2028). However, holders of these convertible bonds will be entitled to request the early conversion of the number of convertible bonds that they deem necessary into new Company shares, at their discretion, in the set conversion periods.
A price of EUR 0.37 per new share has been set for the conversion of the convertible bonds. This is a fixed conversion price until their maturity date, which will be subject to the adjustments that are customary for issuing this type of instrument to ensure that, in the event that certain corporate transactions are carried out or certain resolutions are adopted that may result in the dilution of the value of the Company's shares, the conversion price is adjusted so that such transactions or resolutions affect the Company's shareholders and the holders of the convertible bonds equally.
The convertible bonds will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00% (which cannot be capitalised) and payable upon conversion into ordinary shares.
In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, meaning 351,350 convertible bonds have been issued. Insofar as a fixed conversion price has been established (see above), without prejudice to the adjustment mechanisms which are customary in this type of transaction, the maximum number of new shares to be issued in connection with the voluntary or mandatory conversion of the convertible bonds on the basis of this conversion price is 351,350,000 new shares, which represents 47.44% of the Company's current share capital and 32.17% of the Company's share capital following the conversion of convertible bonds into new shares (again considering the current share capital).
The convertible bonds are expected to be admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated fixed income market (AIAF).
The issue is an instrument to reduce PRISA's syndicated financial debt, which is linked to a variable interest rate and which was refinanced in April 2022. This has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary, mainly, and in accordance with the financing agreements entered into, to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche, which is benchmarked at Euribor+8% (including cash and capitalisable cost), which as at December 31, 2022 totalled EUR 192,013 thousand (see note 11 b) of the attached consolidated notes). In February, 2023 the Group had cancelled EUR 110 million of Junior debt.
The issue of this bond mandatorily convertible into shares has been treated and recorded in 2023 as a compound financial instrument, because it is includes both liability and equity components. The Group recognises, measures and presents the liability and equity components created by a single financial instrument separately on its balance sheet.

The Group distributes the value of its instruments in accordance with the following criteria which, barring error, will not be subsequently reviewed:
a. The liability component is recognised by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component.
b. The equity component is measured at the difference between the initial amount and the amount assigned to the liability component.
c. The transaction costs are distributed in the same proportion.
Following this, the liability component has been calculated as the present value of the cash coupons payable, considering that the mandatory conversion will take place at the end of the bond's life, without considering early conversions, insofar as early conversions are out of the Company's control. As a result, a financial liability of approximately EUR 4 million has been recorded. The difference between the amount of this liability and the face value of the coupons will be recorded and posted in the income statement during the life of the aforementioned instrument using the effective interest method.
An equity component has been recorded because a residual share in a company's assets is evident, after deducting all of its liabilities, since the bond is mandatorily convertible into a fixed number of shares and does not include any contractual obligation to hand over cash or any other financial asset other than the payment of the aforementioned coupons. Therefore, as a result of recording the transaction at the fair value of the equity instruments being issued, an equity instrument amounting to approximately EUR 126 million has been posted, resulting from the difference between the cash received for the issue of the convertible bond and the liability described in the previous paragraph, thereby increasing the net consolidated equity by this amount. The conversion price of the convertible bonds does not substantially differ from the listed value of the PRISA shares during the subscription period of the convertible bond.
The transaction costs have mainly been recorded as a decrease in the consolidated net profit, since almost all of the convertible bond has been recorded as an equity instrument.
Moreover, the early, partial cancellation of the aforementioned Junior debt will result in a financial expense of approximately EUR 6 million being recorded in 2023. This amount is due to the difference between the nominal amount of the cancelled debt and its initial fair value at the time of the Refinancing, which at the time was pending being posted in the consolidated income statement during this refinancing period, and which caused a financial income in April 2022, as described in notes 11 b) and 15 of the attached consolidated notes.
On February 15, 2023 all the conditions precedent to which such transaction agreement entered into between Corporativo Coral, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L.U. ("SER") and the financial group Crédito Real was subject were finally fulfilled. All the parties have withdrawn the arbitral procedure before the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. Therefore, all litigations regarding the shareholders' agreement of Sistema Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V. referred to under the ongoing litigation and claims within the previous consolidated Financial Statements have been finally resolved.
