The agreement with DAZN for the distribution of the Serie A championship implies an acceleration of the forecasted Revenues and EBITDA growth in 2022-2023 (to mid single digit growth), with 2021 targets confirmed for Revenues (stable to low single digit growth) and revised to low to mid single digit decrease for EBITDA, also as a consequence of the overall market impact of the delays of the voucher plan for families and companies.
Expected benefits from the Resilience and Recovery Fund, and from Oi mobile assets acquisition are not yet factored in the guidance yet
Rome, 19 July 2021
The stabilization and relaunch of the domestic business continues and a new growth phase is starting, related to adjacent markets, in particular to content and innovative services for business customers. The new Group structure aims at TIM's leadership in the innovative ICT services for enterprises and public administration, with specialized factories for cloud (Noovle), IoT (Olivetti), cyber security (Telsy) and international services (Sparkle).

On the content front, the agreement with DAZN complements a number of already established partnerships with Disney+, Discovery, Mediaset Infinity, Netflix, Amazon PrimeVideo and other players in this sector that make TIM Vision the richest TV platform in the Italian market.
TIM updates its financial targets further to the agreement with DAZN, the delayed startup of the second phase of the Government's program to support digitalization (vouchers plan) and the relative implications for the competitive environment.
The distribution agreement TIM-DAZN is expected to generate incremental revenues already in 2021 and, when at regime in 2022-2023, it is forecast to drive an acceleration of Domestic revenues and EBITDA growth (low to mid single digit/mid single digit growth) and of the Group's revenues and EBITDA growth (low to mid single digit /mid single digit growth). The initiative's start-up costs imply it will bring a positive contribution to EBITDA only from 2022.
The expected contribution from the voucher plan to improve revenues and EBITDA and to ease the competitive environment is confirmed, however, due to the delays in the implementation of phase 2, it is now forecast at a slightly later stage implying, along with the cited incremental costs for the start-up of the DAZN partnership, a revision of the EBITDA targets for 2021 to "low to mid singledigit decrease" (mid single-digit Domestic).
Cash generation targets are confirmed, with 4 billion euros Equity Free Cash Flow in the plan period and a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2,6x in 2023.
Dividends distribution policy is confirmed: 1 euro cent (floor) for ordinary shares and 2.75 euro cent for savings.
Expected benefits from the Resilience and Recovery Fund on the domestic market and from Oi mobile assets acquisition with Vivo and Claro, are not yet factored in the guidance.
Domestic KPIs confirmed an improving trend in Q2.
