Rome, March 2, 2022

TIM's Board of Directors met today chaired by Salvatore Rossi and approved the Consolidated Financial Statements of the TIM Group, the draft Separate Financial Statements of TIM S.p.A. and the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement/Sustainability Report at December 31, 2021.

In the fourth quarter, on the one hand. double digit growth of the ICT business continued and on the other hand the competitive environment led various market operators to continue leveraging on price and discounts, thereby reducing operating performances.

The company also redefined its top management structure in the quarter and embarked on an indepth organizational and strategic review.

Net financial debt at December 31, 2021 stood at 22.2 billion euros (17.6 billion euros on an after lease basis) a drop of 1.1 billion euros compared to the last financial year (1 billion euros on an after lease basis).

In terms of strategic initiatives, the main changes are:

• National Strategic Hub: the Government has published the call for tenders and selected as a reference the project submitted by TIM together with CDP Equity, Leonardo and Sogei to create the National Strategic Hub (NSH). If it wins (the announcement is expected by H1), the new company would provide Cloud services and infrastructure to the Public Administration, acquiring them mainly from industrial partners.
• Fiber Network: work to develop the FTTH network of the new company FiberCop continues, increasing the FTTH coverage of property units by 36% in the last year. The TIM Group brought broadband to around 94% of fixed lines. The set of agreements between TIM, KKR and Fastweb relating to the establishment of the company FiberCop has been definitively approved by the Italian Competition Authority with the acceptance of the undertakings presented by the Parties.
• Noovle: revenues up by 20% YoY, in line with the plan objectives, thanks to development of the cloud and data centers business in partnership with Google Cloud and the main sector operators.
• Magnifica was launched at the end of October. It is the highest performing ultrabroadband offer portfolio on the Italian market with speeds of up to 10 Gbps in download thanks to TIM's fiber.
• In Brazil, local authorities (Anatel and Cade) have green lighted the project for TIM Brasil, Claro and Vivo to acquire Oi's mobile business.
• As regards Sustainability, the company has respected all the year's targets, in both Italy and Brazil, increasing the weight of renewable energy on the Group's total electricity consumption by 36% YoY, improving domestic energy eco-efficiency by a further 25% and bringing the increase to over 90% compared to 2019. Employees' engagement in Italy, +20% since 2019, has already surpassed the objective set for 2023.

Performance in the fourth quarter 2021

The churn rate continued to improve in both fixed (3.5%, -0.5pp YoY) and mobile (3.6%, -0.6pp YoY), stabilizing at the lowest level in the last 14 years.

In mobile, total lines performance (30.5 million) and ARPU were stable, in a phase of partial return to rationality in the market, also visible in the slowdown of customer flows between operators (market mobile number portability -21% YoY).

In fixed, total lines performance slowed in the quarter (-82 thousand compared to the previous quarter) also due to the end of the first phase of the voucher program and the delayed launch of the second phase; however customer satisfaction improved by 4.1 percentage points. Consumer customers ARPU was down for the increased competitive pressure.

The ultrabroadband segment exceeded 10 million lines (retail and wholesale) for the first time, with an increase in the quarter of 300 thousand lines (compared with the previous quarter).

Innovative services strong revenues growth continued, with cloud recording a 17% YoY increase in the quarter (+20% YoY in the twelve months) and total ICT revenues up by 21% YoY in the quarter (+23% YoY in the year).

Overall, the Domestic Business Unit recorded revenues from services down by 4.5% YoY in the quarter (-3.8% YoY in the year), partly offset by the good performance of TIM Brasil, with revenues from services up by 4.0% YoY in the quarter and 5.0% in the year.

Group revenues in the quarter stood at 4.0 billion euros down by -4.4% YoY (15.3 billion euros down by 1.9% YoY in the twelve months), while revenues from services amounted to 3.6 billion euros down by 2.8% YoY (13.9 billion euros down by 2.1% YoY in the twelve months).

The Group's organic EBITDA in the quarter stood at 1.4 billion euros down by -21.9% YoY (6.2 billion euros, -9.6% YoY in the twelve months), with the Domestic Business Unit at 1.0 billion euros down by -28.5% YoY (4.9 billion euros, -12.8% YoY in the twelve months) and TIM Brasil at 0.4 billion euros up by 3.4% YoY (1.4 billion euros, +4.7% YoY in the twelve months). The drop in the domestic margin was mainly due, in addition to the aforementioned revenue trend, to the impact of the football business on the company's performances, higher start-up costs for new digital businesses and other provisions for commercial risks.

The Group's EBITDA After Lease stood at 1.2 billion euros, down by -25.7% YoY (5.4 billion euros, -11.6% YoY in the twelve months), while at domestic level it was 0.9 billion euros with a drop of -31.5% YoY (4.4 billion euros, -14.2% in the twelve months).

At Group level, the investments stood at 1.3 billion euros with a reduction of -3.8% YoY excluding licenses (3.8 billion euros up by 14.1% YoY in the twelve months excluding licenses).

The net result attributable to the Owners of the Parent was negative for 8.6 billion euros (-8.7 billion euros in the year). This result was also impacted by the impairment of domestic goodwill for 4.1 billion euros and the writing off, for 3.8 billion euros, by the Parent Company TIM S.p.A., of the deferred tax assets.

In detail, the impairment of domestic goodwill was carried out with reference to the flows of the 2022-2024 Industrial Plan and the projections up to 2026 for the domestic market in its current conditions and using a discount rate updated to the financial market conditions as at December 31,

1. The new Industrial Plan is based on the results of the 2021 final accounting, reflects realistic expectations on future developments and outlines the actions to create value for the shareholders. The write-off of deferred tax assets is linked to the extension to 50 years of the period of tax asset absorption introduced by Art. 160 of the 2022 Budget Law (Law 234/2021) and the changed assessment of the time frame for recoverability of deferred tax assets of TIM S.p.A.

The Board of Directors therefore proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting the non-distribution of dividends.

TIM's contribution to the digital and sustainable transformation for people, businesses and organizations

Infrastructure

At December 31, 2021, 94% of fixed lines connected to the TIM network are reached by ultrabroadband¹ . In 2021, growth continued of FTTH activations, which now reach approximately 24% of property units² . In addition, TIM's ultrabroadband coverage reaches approximately 75% of the white areas³ where, at December 31, 2021, approximately 1 million ultrabroadband lines have been activated.

TIM's 4G network covers more than 99% of the national population. In 2021, the volume of data handled on TIM's mobile ultrabroadband network grew by 35% compared with the previous year. TIM's 5G network has been acknowledged by Opensignal as the fastest in Europe in download and has now reached 48 municipalities with more than 90% coverage in Milan. TIM has also entered the world's top 30 for having enabled an improvement in the switch from the 4G to the 5G network in terms of download and upload speeds in the spread of videos and gaming experience.

Thanks to its fiber network, Sparkle, the TIM Group global operator, connects Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia offering a transmission capacity of up to 100 Gbit/s for the bandwidth managed and 400 Gbit/s for IP transmission.

Data Centers

Noovle, the TIM Group's cloud company and Benefit Corporation, has 17 data centers developed according to the highest security, protection, operativeness and energy efficiency standards, which in 2021 handled 72.8 Pbyte of data volume. Sparkle manages a network of data centers in the Mediterranean basin, in the hallmark of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Sustainability Bonds

On January 11, 2021, TIM placed a one-billion-euro sustainability bond set to increase the Group's energy efficiency and finance green and social projects, including those for the transformation of the copper network into fiber.

Digital services for the production system

The TIM Group offers smart services for companies and the public administration, which contribute towards the well-being of society and environmental protection.

• Cloud: maximum efficiency and security in data management; energy savings and reduction of CO² emissions.
• Smart working: more efficient organization of work; reduction of traffic; less CO² and pollutant gases in the atmosphere.
• Cybersecurity: protection of the corporate computer systems; resilience for the digital economy.
• Smart industry: greater productivity for factories; lesser environmental impact.
• Smart agriculture: more plentiful, less costly harvests; protection of natural resources.
• Smart City: More efficient public administration; simpler life for citizens.
• Digital health: efficiency of the health system; staying close to those needing treatment.

Venture capital

In 2021, TIM - through TIM Ventures, its corporate venture capital vehicle - invested more than 22 million euros in Satispay, WeSchool and Webidoo. In 2021, TIM Ventures subscribed, through the UV T-Growth fund, a total commitment of 60 million euros over a ten-year time-frame; of these, in 2021, approximately 12 million were invested in high-tech emerging realities.

¹ Thanks to FTTC and FTTH technology.

² FTTH coverage refers to what are termed the "Technical property units" (UIT), which represent 24.3 million property units throughout national territory for which, over time, TIM has activated a retail or wholesale telephone, broadband or ultrabroadband line.

³ The white areas are areas without ultrabroadband networks, where private investors do not intend to invest in the next three years.

Open innovation

2021 saw the launch of the TIM Challenge for Circular Economy, seeking innovative circular economy solutions developed by start-ups, SMEs and scale-ups, along with the Olivetti IoT Challenge, identifying the best entrepreneurial contexts of the Internet of Things. Collaboration also started with the start-up AWorld for an awareness-raising initiative and engagement of TIM employees on sustainable living topics.

Development of the Italians' digital skills

TIM is an active member of the "Digital Republic" initiative promoted by the Ministry for Technological Innovation and the Digital Transition, the strategy of which is based on four themed axes to which it contributes:

• Education and Higher Training
• Active workforce
• ■ Specialist ICT skills
• ■ Citizens

Brazil

Connectivity: TIM Brasil has the public commitment to extend 4G connectivity to all municipalities of Brazil by 2023 and, in the fourth quarter 2021, was one of the main winners of the 5G auction.

Agricultural food: TIM Brasil is working to improve 4G mobile coverage in rural areas and provides other digital services, such as a smart platform for agricultural companies, to improve their production efficiency and monitoring and automation solutions.

Digital Services: TIM Brasil has created the first IoT Marketplace in Brazil, presenting solutions for smart cities, smart industry and smart farms. In addition, in 2021, TIM Brasil signed a partnership with C6 Digital Bank and it has an agreement currently being prepared to explore remote medicine and e-health opportunities.

Digital Skills: TIM Brasil undertakes to train more than 5,000 employees on digital competences by 2023. The partnership with the Cogna Group offers exclusive benefits for customers, such as the "knowledge bonus", discounts on on-line degree courses and free access to more than 400 courses and TIM Tec, open platform developed by the TIM Institute, which offers more than 30 courses about technology, information, innovation and communication, free to all.

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The new styles adopted for living, working and learning as a result of the pandemic have increased awareness that the path to sustainable development also involves the use of ICT products and services, enabling factors for inclusive development. Digital infrastructures, which are increasingly necessary on a capillary level throughout the entire territory, to guarantee all the advantages and opportunities they offer, must be flanked by digital training, necessary in both the public (schools and Public Administration) and private (families and businesses) sectors to foster a truly inclusive development. TIM is strongly committed on all these fronts, with a leading role.

At the start of 2021, the Group aligned its funding sources with the Industrial Plan which places ESG objectives at the center of its development strategy, placing TIM's first Sustainability Bond for a billion euros. During the year, TIM went beyond the objectives of the previous Sustainability Plan, with a target of zero Scope-2 emissions by 2025, compared to the previous -70%. The year also saw TIM take on the guidelines of the Science Based Target Initiative: in July, the Group sent its letter of commitment in which it expressed its ambition to contribute, through near-term targets and related actions, to holding global warming to below 1.5 °C; in November, the targets relating to Scope 1 and 2 and Scope 3 emissions were submitted, validation of which is expected by SBTi in the first half of 2022.

The goal of Carbon Neutrality by 2030 for which TIM remains firm, deploying the most suitable actions to achieve this goal, based on a cross-functional analysis that takes shape in the energy transition matrix. The commitment to carbon neutrality does not only concern internal processes but also the tools that TIM makes available to its customers thanks to the offer of energy monitoring and control solutions and the cloud offer that can optimize the use of servers.

In 2021, TIM not only confirmed its presence on the main sustainability indexes and ratings, including a clear improvement in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index, but also increased the number, entering the new Borsa Italiana MIB ESG index, made up of the 40 blue chip companies listed in Italy that adopt the best social, environmental and governance practices. This is confirmation for TIM, which is already part of the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond Network, the sustainable finance platform managed by Nasdaq , that brings together investors, issuers, investment banks and specialized organizations.

The Plan's objectives, where possible with reference to 2021, were all achieved, with the excellent performance of the domestic "Engagement" cluster, which improved by 20 points compared to 2019, exceeding the growth target expected. The Sustainability Plan places great emphasis on TIM's people, with a recruitment and training program to better meet the challenges of the Information and Communications Technology sector, as well as an incentive plan with ESG objectives.

Finally, sustainability governance was further strengthened by setting up a Board Sustainability Committee chaired by the Chairman of the Group and assigned the task, amongst others, of speeding up implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, included in the Industrial Plan.

The Sustainability Report allows for an in-depth analysis of the achievement of the annual targets and the progress of the multi-year targets into which the Sustainability Plan is grouped, highlighting the contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.

The 2021 results will be presented to the financial community during the webcast and audio conference on March 3, 2022. The event will start at 2.00 p.m. (Italian time). The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Reporters can follow the presentation by telephone and via the web, without the option to ask questions, by calling +39 06 33444 and following the instructions for assisted conferences or by connecting to the following link.

The TIM Group and TIM S.p.A. Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2021 and the comparative figures for the previous year have been prepared in compliance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS").

The accounting policies and consolidation principles adopted are consistent with those applied for the TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements and the TIM S.p.A. Separate Financial Statements at December 31, 2020, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from January 1, 2021.

TIM Group, in addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by the IFRS, uses certain alternative performance measures in order to present a better understanding of the trend of operations and financial condition. Specifically, these alternative performance measures refer to: EBITDA; EBIT; organic change and impact of non-recurring items on revenues, EBITDA and EBIT; EBITDA margin and EBIT margin; and net financial debt carrying amount and adjusted net financial debt; Equity Free Cash Flow. Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group also presents the following additional alternative performance measures:

• EBITDA adjusted After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), calculated by adjusting the Organic EBITDA, net of the nonrecurring items, from the amounts connected with the accounting treatment of the lease contracts according to IFRS 16;
• 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 according to IFRS 16;
• Equity Free Cash Flow After Lease, calculated by excluding from the Equity Free Cash Flow the amounts related to lease payments.

In line with the ESMA guidance on alternative performance measures (Guidelines ESMA/2015/1415), the meaning and contents of such are explained in the annexes and the analytical detail of the amounts of the reclassifications introduced and of the methods for determining indicators is also provided.

Finally, it should be noted that the audit of the TIM consolidated and separate Financial Statements at December 31, 2021 has not yet been completed.

In accordance with IAS 36, goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis, when preparing the company's consolidated financial statements. With reference to the Domestic Cash Generating Unit (CGU), the impairment test, conducted during the preparation of the 2021 Annual Financial Report, took as a reference the flows of the new 2022 Industrial Plan - which, based on the results of the 2021

final accounting, reflects realistic aspects of future developments and outlines all the actions to create value for shareholders - on the basis of the projections up to 2026, assuming the use of domestic market assets in continuity with the conditions at 31.12.2021 and using a discount rate updated to the financial market conditions at December 31, 2021. The configuration of the recoverable amount is the Fair Value estimated on the basis of the income approach, which has highlighted a value reduction of 4,120 million euros of goodwill attributed to the Domestic Cash Generating Unit. Impairment testing of the Brazil Cash Generating Unit did not reveal any reduction in the value of goodwill allocated to it. The valuation was based on the Market Cap of TIM Brasil as at December 31, 2021 and highlighted a positive difference between the book value of the CGU and Fair Value.

Net profit attributable to Owners of the Parent for 2021, recorded a loss of -8,652 million euros (+7,224 million euros in 2020), excluding the impact of non-recurring items the net profit for 2021 is positive for 40 million euros (+1,173 million euros in 2020).

The 2021 result is also impacted by the partial writing off of the deferred tax assets entered in 2020 in exchange for the tax recognition of higher values booked in accordance with Decree Law 104/2020 art. 110, subsections 8 and 8 bis; this write-off is due to the extension to 50 years of the period of tax asset absorption, introduced by art. 160 of the 2022 Budget Law (Law 234/2021) and the changed assessment of the time frame for recoverability of deferred tax assets of TIM S.p.A.

The TIM Group headcount at December 31, 2021 was 51,929 units, of which 42,347 in Italy (52,347 at December 31, 2020, of which 42,680 in Italy), with a decrease of 418 compared to December 31, 2020 (in Italy -333).

Capital expenditures and expenses for mobile telephone licenses for 2021 were 4,630 million euros (3,409 million euros in 2020).

Capex is broken down as follows by operating segment:

(million euros)	2021		2020		Changes
		% weight		% weight

Consolidated Total	4,630	100.0	3,409	100.0	1,221
% of Revenues	30.2		21.6		8.6pp

In particular:

• the Domestic Business Unit records capital expenditure for 3,377 million euros, +629 million euros on 2020, an increase mainly due to the development of the FTTC/FTTH networks and payment of licenses for 240 million euros to the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) for the extension of rights of use relating to frequencies (2100 MHz);
• the Brazil Business Unit posted capital expenditures in 2021 of 1,253 million euros (661 million euros for 2020). Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates (-49 million euros), capex grew by 641 million euros, mainly to strengthen the mobile ultrabroadband infrastructure and the development of the fixed broadband business of TIM Live. More specifically, the auction for 5G frequencies in Brazil, which closed in November 2021, saw the Brazil Business Unit committed to a total investment of 564 million euros for frequencies along with the related commercial commitments to the entities established to pursue the infrastructure projects.

The Group's operating free cash flow for 2021 is positive for 1,444 million euros (3,304 million euros in 2020), i.e. 1,879 million euros (3,414 million euros in 2020), net of 435 million euros (110 million euros in 2020) related to the acquisition of rights to use telecommunication service frequencies.

Adjusted net financial debt amounted to 22,187 million euros at December 31, 2021, a decrease of 1,139 million euros compared to December 31, 2020 (23,326 million euros). The reduction in debt, brought about by the generation of operating cash, the completion of the purchase by KKR Infrastructure of 37.5% of FiberCop from TIM for an equivalent value of 1,759 million euros and the sale for 172 million euros in Brazil of 51% of the company I-Systems S.A. (formerly FiberCo), owner of the secondary fiber network, has been partially limited by the payments of dividends (368 million euros), the sanction (116 million euros) connected with the Antitrust Case A514 (alleged abuse of a dominant market position on the wholesale access services market and for retail

services of the BB and UBB fixed network), substitute tax on the aligned value of assets (231 million euros), as well as the extension of the rights of use of frequencies on the 2100 MHz bandwidth (240 million euros) and the installment on the 5G license (55 million euros) and the purchased under auction of frequencies for the implementation of 5G in Brazil (140 million euros).

For a better understanding of the information, the table below shows the various ways by which the Net Financial Debt can be shown:

(million euros)	12/31/2021	12/31/2020	Changes
	(a)	(b)	(a-b)
Net financial debt carrying amount	22,416	23,714	(1,298)
Reversal of fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets	(229)	(388)	159
Adjusted net financial debt	22,187	23,326	(1,139)
Leasing	(4,614)	(4,732)	118
Adjusted net financial debt - After Lease	17,573	18,594	(1,021)

Net financial debt carrying amount amounted to 22,416 million euros at December 31, 2021, a decrease of 1,298 million euros compared to December 31, 2020 (23,714 million euros). Reversal of the fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets recorded an annual change of 159 million euros, substantially following the rise in Euro interest rates, which, coupled with the final calculation of interest flows, effectively revalue the cash flow hedges. This change is adjusted by the booked Net Financial Debt with no monetary effect.

Adjusted Net Financial Debt – After Lease (net of the impact of all leases), which is a parameter adopted by main European peers, was equal to 17,573 million euros at December 31, 2021, down by 1,021 million euros compared to December 31, 2020 (18,594 million euros).

During the fourth quarter of 2021, adjusted net financial debt came to 22,187 million euros up 23 million euros on September 30, 2021 (22,164 million euros): the stability of the debt level derives from the attenuation of the positive effects deriving from the operative and financial management following the assessment over the contractual terms of finance lease liabilities. In addition, the transactions should be noted carried out in Brazil, such as the sale of 51% of the company I-Systems S.A. (formerly FiberCo) and the acquisition under auction of the frequencies for the implementation of 5G.

(million euros)	12/31/2021	9/30/2021	Changes

Breakdown as follows:
Total adjusted gross financial debt	32,564	29,107	3,457
Total adjusted financial assets	(10,377)	(6,943)	(3,434)

The TIM Group's available liquidity margin amounted to 13,153 million euros, equal to the sum of:

• "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Current securities other than investments" for a total of 9,153 million euros (5,921 million euros at December 31, 2020), also including 838 million euros in repurchase agreements expiring by April 2022;
• Sustainability-linked Revolving Credit Facility amounting to 4,000 million euros, totally available.

This margin is sufficient to cover Group financial liabilities (current and otherwise) falling due over the next 36 months.

2021 were affected by non-recurring adjustments for 5 million euros, while revenues in 2020 were affected by non-recurring items for 39 million euros mainly referring to adjustments of revenues connected to TIM S.p.A.'s commercial initiatives to support customers in facing the COVID-19 emergency.

Revenues from stand-alone services come to 11,183 million euros (-422 million euros compared to 2020, -3.6%) and suffer the impact of the competition on the customer base and a reduction in ARPU levels; in organic terms, net of the above-specified non-recurring items, they drop by 439 million euros compared to 2020 (-3.8%).

In detail:

• revenues from stand-alone Fixed market services amounted to 8,574 million euros in organic terms, with a change compared to 2020 of -2.3% mainly due to the decrease of ARPU levels in the Consumer segment, which is also reflected in the trend of revenues from broadband services (-93 million euros compared to 2020, -4.0%), partly offset by the growth in revenues from ICT solutions (+242 million euros compared to 2020, +22.9%);
• revenues from stand-alone Mobile market services came to 3,152 million euros in organic terms (-242 million euros vs 2020, -7.1%), mainly due to ARPU levels and the reduction in the customer base connected with Human lines.

Revenues for Handset and Bundle & Handset, including the change in work in progress, are equal, in organic terms, to 1,322 million euros in 2021, with an increase of 16 million euros compared to 2020, for the most part attributable to the Fixed segment.

  • revenues from Mobile stand-alone services totaled, in organic terms, 2,161 million euros (-182 million euros, -7.8% compared to 2020). The impact of the competitive dynamic remains, albeit with a lesser reduction of the customer base calling; revenues from roaming and incoming traffic are down due to the progressive reduction of interconnection tariffs;
  • revenues from Fixed stand-alone services totaled, in organic terms, 2,600 million euros (-270 million euros, -9.4% compared to 2020), primarily due to lower ARPU levels and the smaller Customer Base, which declined gradually over the course of 2021. The growth of broadband customers is highlighted, in particular ultrabroadband.

Revenues for Handsets and Bundles & Handsets in the Consumer segment amounted to 693 million euros, -34 million euros compared to 2020 (-4.6%). The decrease is mainly due to lesser sales volumes of modems on fixed lines.

  • total Fixed revenues in organic terms improved slightly by +6 million euros compared to 2020 (+0.2%), due to the revenues from services component (+0.4%) thanks to the increase in revenues from ICT services.
• Wholesale National Market: the segment consists of the management and development of the portfolio of regulated and unregulated wholesale services for Fixed-line and Mobile telecommunications operators in the domestic market. The following companies are included: TI San Marino and Telefonia Mobile Sammarinese. The Wholesale National Market segment revenues in 2021 came to 1,946 million euros, up by +40 million euros (+2.1%) compared to 2020, with a positive performance mainly driven by the growth in accesses in the ultrabroadband segment.

Revenues for 2021 of the Brazil Business Unit (TIM Brasil group) amounted to 18,058 million reais (17,268 million reais in 2020, +4,6%), speeding up on the levels recorded from the third quarter of 2020.

The acceleration has been driven by service revenues (17,497 million reais vs 16,665 million reais in 2020, +5.0%) with mobile service revenues growing +4.7% on 2020. This performance is mainly related to the continuous recovery of the pre-paid and post-paid segments. Revenues from fixed services have grown by 8.8% compared to the previous year, determined above all by the growth rate of TIM Live.

Revenues from product sales totaled 561 million reais (603 million reais in 2020).

Revenues in fourth quarter of 2021 totaled 4,799 million reais, increased by 2.6% on the fourth quarter of 2020 (4,678 million reais).

Total mobile lines in place at December 31, 2021 amounted to 52.1 million, +0.7 million compared to December 31, 2020 (51.4 million). This variation was mainly driven by the postpaid segment (+1.0 million), partially offset by the performance in the prepaid segment (-0.3 million), in part due to the consolidation underway in the market for second SIM cards. Post-paid customers represented 43.9% of the customer base as of December 31, 2021, 1.5 percentage points higher than at December 2020 (42.4%).

In 2021, the TIM Live broadband business recorded net positive growth in the customer base of 40 thousand users, +6.1% compared to December 31, 2020. In addition, the customer base continues to be concentrated on high-speed connections, with more than 50% exceeding 100Mbps.

In particular, revenues from the Mobile market stand-alone services are down (-202 million euros on the previous year, -6.0%), while revenues from the Fixed market stand-alone services improved (+80 million euros compared to the previous year, +1.0%), thanks to the increase in revenues from network maintenance services to FiberCop S.p.A., despite the worsening of the Retail segment.

Revenues from Handsets and Bundles & Handsets, including the change in work in progress, amounted to 1,746 million euros in 2021, up 475 million euros compared to 2020, mainly following revenues from the sale of network infrastructure to FiberCop S.p.A.
