TELECOM ITALIA GROUP

3Q'16 Results Rome – November 7, 2016

3Q'16 Update

Flavio Cattaneo – Piergiorgio Peluso

Safe Harbour

This presentation contains statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of estimates regarding future growth in the different business lines and the global business, financial results and other aspects of the activities and situation relating to the Telecom Italia Group. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. Consequently, Telecom Italia makes no representation, whether expressed or implied, as to the conformity of the actual results with those projected in the forward looking statements.

Forward-looking information is based on certain key assumptions which we believe to be reasonable as of the date hereof, but forward looking information by its nature involves risks and uncertainties, which are outside our control, and could significantly affect expected results. Analysts and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Telecom Italia undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward looking statements which may be made to reflect events and circumstances after the date of this presentation, including, without limitation, changes in Telecom Italia business or acquisition strategy or planned capital expenditures or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Analysts and investors should consult the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F as well as periodic filings made on Form 6-K, which are on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission which may identify factors that affect the forward looking statements included herein.

The financial and operating data, with the exception of some data, have been extracted or derived from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Union (designated as IFRS). Such interim financial statements are unaudited.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 have been applied on a basis consistent with those adopted in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2015, to which reference should be made, except for the new standards and interpretations adopted by the Telecom Italia Group starting from 1 January 2016 which had no effects on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended 30 September 2016.

Within the Brazil Business Unit, TIM Brasil's Management recently identified that incorrect accounting entries were made in prior years in connection with the recognition of service revenue from the sale of prepaid traffic. Such incorrect accounting entries, resulted in the early recognition of revenues and consequently the underestimation of deferred revenue liabilities for prepaid traffic not yet consumed. The incorrect accounting entries did not have any impact either in terms of net financial position nor on cash and cash equivalents.

In light of the above, the comparative financial information as of 31 December 2015 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2015 have been revised, segment information included. Furthermore, such revision did not have any material impact on the consolidated income statement of the three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2015.

Segment information is consistent with the prior periods under comparison with the exception of the Media Business Unit that, starting from 1 January 2016, as a result of the change in the operational mission of Persidera, is included in the Domestic Business Unit.

Furthermore, the Sofora - Telecom Argentina group, which was disposed of on 8 March 2016, is classified as Discontinued operations.
