3 Closing Remarks
5G auction financial undertakings will be met with the firmest determination to deleverage:
▪ Debt reduction remains an utmost priority, driven by organic performance, and further supported by the disposals of Persidera and Sparkle
The Company remains committed to the strategic priorities of its plan, which will be reviewed and enhanced
€mln
Average m/l term maturity: 7.67 years (bond only 7.78 years)
Fixed rate portion on gross debt approximately 70.3%
Around 31% of outstanding bonds (nominal amount) denominated in USD and GBP and is fully hedged
Cost of debt: ~4.4 %
N.B. The figures are net of the adjustment due to the fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets, as follows:
the impact on Gross Financial Debt is equal to 1,489 €/mln (of which 169 €/mln on bonds);
the impact on Financial Assets is equal to 552 €/mln.
Therefore, the Net Financial Indebtedness is adjusted by 937 €/mln
N.B. The difference between total financial assets (€ 4,811 mln) and C&CE and marketable securities (€ 3,603 mln) is equal to € 1,208 mln and refers to positive MTM derivatives (accrued interests and exchange rate) for € 909 mln, financial receivables for lease for € 90 mln, deposits beyond 3 months for € 1 mln and other credits for € 208 mln.
3Q'18 Results
As from January 1, 2018, IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IFRS 15 (Revenues from Contracts with Customers) have to be applied. In order to allow comparison of the results for 3Q'18 with those for the same period of the previous year, financial statements data are also prepared under previous accounting principles.
IFRS 9 impacts the determination of expected losses on trade receivables and other financial assets (change from the incurred loss model provided by IAS 39 to the expected credit loss model).
IFRS 15 impacts the revenue recognition of fixed and mobile offerings as well as the recognition of relevant contractual costs, without any impacts on cash flows.

(1) The ongoing refinements, also on supporting IT systems, related to the process of implementation of the new accounting standards, together with the high number of new commercial offers in recent months, have led - in the financial statements of the first nine months of 2018 - for some specific contractual cases within the fixed and mobile sectors, to the recalculation of the temporal distribution of revenues during the year.
