KEY TAKEAWAYS

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Both Media and Education businesses keep growing revenues, EBITDA and margins.

On track towards our 2023 guidance goals, keeping focus on 2025 roadmap.

APMs

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

EBITDA 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 operating results plus assets depreciation and amortization charge, impairment of goodwill and impairment of assets.
The Group also uses as an "alternative performance measure", the EBITDA excluding severance expenses, which is defined as the
EBITDA plus the severance expenses. This measure is important as PRISA considers that this is a measure of the profitability and
performance of its businesses as it provides information on the profitability of its assets net of severance expenses.
EXCHANGE
RATES
IMPACT
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.
NET BANK
DEBT
The Group's net bank debt 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.
FREE CASH
FLOW
PRISA defines the free cash flow as the addition of the cash flow before financing plus IFRS 16 payments (leases). This "alternative
performance measure" is important for the Group as it shows the cash flow generation recurrent capacity of the company for debt
service, excluding extraordinary items.
