TIM GROUP - RECLASSIFIED STATEMENTS

The reclassified Separate Consolidated Income Statements, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as well as the Consolidated Net Financial Debt of the TIM Group, herewith presented, are the same as those included in the Interim Management Report of the Half-year Financial Report at June 30, 2022 and are unaudited.

Such statements, as well as the Consolidated Net Financial Debt, are however consistent with those included in the TIM Group Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2022.

The accounting policies and consolidation principles adopted are consistent with those applied for the TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021, to which reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from January 1, 2022.

As described in the 2021 TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements, during the fourth quarter of 2021, TIM refined some aspects of the booking of certain commercial agreements concerning the sale of goods with deferred delivery. This refinement entailed, for the first, second and third quarters of 2021, the redetermination of the distribution over time of revenues and purchases of materials and services. In connection with the foregoing, the economic data of the first half of 2021, has been recalculated.

Furthermore, please note that the limited review work by our independent auditors on the TIM Group Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2022 has not yet been completed.

At June 30, 2022, TIM had bilateral Term Loans for 950 million euros with various banking counterparties.

On July 6, 2022, TIM stipulated a new loan with a pool of leading international banks, which benefits from the "Italy Guarantee" (in accordance with art. 1, subsection 1 of Decree-Law no. 23 of April 8, 2020 as subsequently amended and supplemented) for an amount of 2 billion euros.

Bonds

The change in bonds in the first half of 2022 was as follows:

(millions of original currency) Currency Amount Repayment date
Repayments
Telecom Italia S.p.A 2002-2022 reserved for subscription by employees Euro 214 1/1/2022
Telecom Italia S.p.A 1,250 million euros 5.25% (1) Euro 884 2/10/2022
Telecom Italia S.p.A. 2,000 million euros 1.125% Convertible bond Euro 2,000 3/26/2022

(1) Net of buy-backs totaling 366 million euros made by the company in 2015.

The nominal amount of repayment, net of the Group's bonds buyback, related to the bonds expiring in the following 18 months as of June 30, 2022 issued by TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A. (fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TIM S.p.A.) totals 2,437 million euros. With the following detail:

  • 1,000 million euros, due January 16, 2023;
  • 437 million euros, due May 19, 2023;
  • 1,000 million euros, due July 19, 2023.

Bonds issued by the TIM Group do not contain financial covenants (e.g. ratios such as Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/ Interest, etc.) or clauses that result in the automatic early redemption of the bonds in relation to events other than the insolvency of the TIM Group; furthermore, the repayment of the bonds and the payment of interest are not covered by specific guarantees nor are there commitments provided relative to the assumption of future guarantees, except for the full and unconditional guarantees provided by TIM S.p.A. for the bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A..

Since the bonds were placed principally with institutional investors in major world capital markets (Euromarket and the U.S.A.), the terms which regulate the bonds are in line with market practice for similar transactions effected on these same markets. Consequently, they carry negative pledges, such as, for example, the commitment not to pledge the company's assets as collateral for loans.

Regarding loans taken out by TIM S.p.A. from the European Investment Bank (EIB), on May 19, 2021, TIM entered into a new loan for an amount of 230 million euros, in support of projects to digitize the country. In addition, it has extended the loan signed in 2019 for an amount of 120 million euros. Therefore, at June 30, 2022 the nominal total of outstanding loans with the EIB was 1,200 million euros, all drawn down and not backed by bank guarantee.

The three EIB loans signed on December 14, 2015, November 25, 2019 and May 19, 2021 contain the following covenants:

■ in the event the company becomes the target of a merger, demerger or conferral of a business segment outside the Group, or sells, disposes of or transfers assets or business segments (except in certain cases, expressly provided for), it shall immediately inform the EIB which shall have the right to ask for guarantees to be provided or changes to be made to the loan contract, or, only for certain loan agreements, the EIB shall have the option to demand the immediate repayment of the loan (should the merger, demerger or

contribution of a business segment outside the Group compromise the Project execution or cause a prejudice to EIB in its capacity as creditor);

  • TIM undertook to ensure that, for the entire duration of the loan, the total financial debt of the Group companies other than TIM S.p.A. – except for the cases when that debt is fully and irrevocably secured by TIM S.p.A. – is lower than 35% (thirty-five percent) of the Group's total financial debt;
  • "Inclusion clause", under which, in the event TIM commits to uphold financial covenants in other loan contracts (and even more restrictive clauses, including, for instance, cross default clauses and commitments restricting the sale of goods) that are not present in or are stricter than those granted to the EIB, the EIB will have the right – if, in its reasonable opinion, it considers that such changes may have a negative impact on TIM's financial capacity – to request the provision of guarantees or an amendment of the loan contract in order to establish an equivalent provision in favor of the EIB;
  • "Network Event", under which, in the event of the disposal of the entire fixed network or of a substantial part of it (in any case, more than half in quantitative terms) to third parties not controlled by the Company, or in the event of disposal of the controlling interest in the company in which the network or a substantial part of it has previously been transferred, TIM must immediately inform the EIB, which may then opt to demand collateral or an amendment of the loan agreement or choose an alternative solution.

The loan agreements of TIM S.p.A. do not contain financial covenants (e.g. ratios such as Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/Interests, etc.) which would oblige the Company to repay the outstanding loan if the covenants are not observed.

The loan agreements contain the usual other types of covenants, including the commitment not to pledge the Company's assets as collateral for loans (negative pledge) and the commitment not to change the business purpose or sell the assets of the Company unless specific conditions exist (e.g. the sale takes place at fair market value). Covenants with basically the same content can be found in the export credit loan agreement.

In the Loan Agreements and the Bonds, TIM is required to provide notification of change of control. Identification of the occurrence of a change of control and the applicable consequences – including, at the discretion of the investors, the establishment of guarantees or the early repayment of the amount paid in cash or as shares and the cancellation of the commitment in the absence of agreements to the contrary – are specifically covered in the individual agreements.

In addition, the outstanding loans generally contain a commitment by TIM, whose breach is an Event of Default, not to implement mergers, demergers or transfers of business, involving entities outside the Group. Such an Event of Default may entail, upon request of the Lender, the early redemption of the drawn amounts and/or the annulment of the undrawn commitment.

The documentation of the loans granted to certain companies of the TIM Group generally contain obligations to comply with certain financial ratios (e.g. capitalization ratios, debt servicing ratios and debt ratios), as well as the usual other covenants, under penalty of a request for the early repayment of the loan.

Finally, as at June 30, 2022, no covenant, negative pledge or other clause relating to the aforementioned debt position had in any way been breached or violated.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by IFRS, the TIM Group uses certain alternative performance measures in its internal presentations (business plan) and in external presentations (to analysts and investors) for the purposes of enabling a better understanding of the performance of its operations and its financial position. These indicators in fact represent a useful unit of measurement for assessing the operating performance of the Group (as a whole and at Business Unit level).

Such measures, which are presented in the periodical financial reports (annual and interim), should, however, not be considered as a substitute for those required by IFRS. As these measurements are not defined by the IFRSs, their calculation may differ from the alternative indicators published by other companies. This is why comparability between companies may be limited.

The alternative performance measures normally used are described below:

■ EBITDA: this indicator is used by TIM as the financial target, in addition to the EBIT. These measures are calculated as follows:

Profit (loss) before tax from continuing operations

    • Finance expenses
  • Finance income
  • +/- Other expenses (income) from investments

+/- Share of losses (profits) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method

  • EBIT Operating profit (loss)
  • +/- Impairment losses (reversals) on non-current assets
  • +/- Losses (gains) on disposals of non-current assets
    • Depreciation and amortization

EBITDA – Operating profit before depreciation and amortization, capital gains (losses) and impairment reversals (losses) on non-current assets

  • Organic change and impact of the non-recurring items on revenues, EBITDA and EBIT: these measures express changes (amount and/or percentage) in Revenues, EBITDA and EBIT, excluding, where applicable, the effects of the change in the scope of consolidation, the exchange differences and the non-recurring events and transactions. The TIM Group presents a reconciliation between the "accounting or reported" figures and the "organic excluding the non-recurring component".
  • EBITDA margin and EBIT margin: TIM believes that these margins represent useful indicator of the ability of the Group (as a whole and at Business Unit level) to generate profits from its revenues. In fact, EBITDA margin and EBIT margin measure the operating performance of an entity by analyzing the percentage of revenues that are converted into EBITDA and EBIT, respectively.
  • Net Financial Debt: TIM believes that the Net Financial Debt represents an accurate indicator of its ability to meet its financial obligations. It is represented by Gross Financial Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents and other Financial Assets. The TIM Group presents a table showing the amounts taken from the statements of financial position and used to calculate the Net Financial Debt of the Group.

To provide a better representation of the true performance of Net Financial Debt, in addition to the usual indicator (renamed "Net financial debt carrying amount"), the TIM Group reports a measure called "Adjusted net financial debt", which neutralizes the effects caused by the volatility of financial markets. Given that some components of the fair value measurement of derivatives (contracts for setting the exchange and interest rate for contractual flows) and of derivatives embedded in other financial instruments do not result in actual monetary settlement, the Adjusted net financial debt excludes these purely accounting and non-monetary effects (including the effects of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement) from the measurement of derivatives and related financial assets/liabilities.

Net financial debt is calculated as follows:

+ Non-current financial liabilities
+ Current financial liabilities
+ Financial liabilities directly associated with Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale
A) Gross financial debt
+ Non-current financial assets
+ Current financial assets
+ Financial assets relating to Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale
B) Financial assets
C=(A - B) Net financial debt carrying amount
D) Reversal of fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets
E=(C + D) Adjusted Net Financial Debt

■ Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF): this financial measure represents the free cash flow available for the remuneration of own capital, to repay debt and to cover any financial investments and payments of licenses and frequencies. In particular, the indicator highlights the change in adjusted net financial debt without considering the impacts of payment of dividends, changes in equity, acquisitions/ disposals of equity investments, outlay for the purchase of licenses and frequencies, increases/ decreases of finance lease liabilities payable (new lease operations, renewals and/or extensions, cancellations/early extinguishing of leases).

The Equity Free Cash Flow measure is calculated as follows:

Reduction/(Increase) in adjusted net financial debt from continuing operations
+/- Impact for finance leases (new lease operations and/or renewals and/or extensions (-)/any terminations/early
- extinguishing of leases (+))
Payment of TLC licenses and for the use of frequencies
+/- Financial impact of acquisitions and/or disposals of investments
- Dividend payment and Change in Equity
Equity Free Cash Flow

Alternative performance measures after lease

Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group presents the following additional alternative performance measures:

  • EBITDA After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), calculated by adjusting the Organic EBITDA, net of the nonrecurring items, from the amounts related to the accounting treatment of the lease contracts;
  • Adjusted net financial debt After Lease, calculated by excluding from the adjusted net financial debt the net liabilities related to the accounting treatment of lease contracts. TIM believes that the Adjusted net financial debt After Lease represents an indicator of the ability to meet its financial obligations;
  • Equity Free Cash Flow After Lease, calculated by excluding from the Equity Free Cash Flow the amounts related to lease payments. In particular, this measure is calculated as follows:
+ Equity Free Cash Flow
--- -----------------------
  • Principal share of lease payments

This measure is a useful indicator of the ability to generate Free Cash Flow.
