This document has been translated into English for the convenience of the readers. In the event of discrepancy, the Italian language version prevails.
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, 2021 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, 2021.
The accounting policies and consolidation principles adopted are consistent with those applied for the TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2020, to wich reference can be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by IASB and adopted starting from January 1, 2021.
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, 2021 has not yet been completed.

During the first half of 2021, the COVID-19 emergency meant that the TIM Group incurred non-recurring charges, gross of tax effects, for approximately 18 million euros, of which 15 million euros connected with credit management deriving from the forecast deterioration in the expected credit loss of some customers. In addition to this, the figures stated include both non-recurring charges connected with corporate reorganization/restructuring processes and provisions for disputes, transactions, regulatory sanctions and potential liabilities and expenses connected with agreements and the development of non-recurring projects. During the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 emergency had incurred non-recurring charges, gross of tax effects, for a total of 69 million euros, mainly connected with adjustments to revenues (37 million euros), following the commercial initiatives of TIM S.p.A. to support customers to fight the emergency and operating costs for 32 million euros mainly relating to provisions and expenses connected with credit management (21 million euros) and procurement and miscellaneous costs (11 million euros).

The change in bonds in the first half of 2021 was as follows:
| (millions of original currency) | Currency | Amount | Issue date |
|---|---|---|---|
| New issues | |||
| Telecom Italia S.p.A. 1,000 million euros 1.625% | Euro | 1,000 | 1/18/2021 |
| TIM S.A. 1,600 million BRL IPCA+4.1682% | BRL | 1,600 | 6/15/2021 |

| Repayments | |||
| Telecom Italia S.p.A. 564 million euros 4.500% (1) | Euro | 564 | 1/25/2021 |
(1) Net of buy-backs totaling 436 million euros made by the company in 2015.
With reference to Telecom Italia S.p.A. 2002–2022 bonds, reserved for subscription by employees of the Group, the nominal amount at June 30, 2021 was 222 million euros, up by 5 million euros compared to December 31, 2020 (217 million euros).
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, 2021 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 3,106 million euros. With the following detail:
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 Group1 ; 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 these bonds have been placed principally with institutional investors in main world capital markets (Euromarket and USA), the terms which regulate the bonds are in line with the market practice for similar transactions effected on these same markets; consequently, for example, there are commitments not to use the company's assets as collateral for loans (negative pledges).
1 A change of control event can result in the early repayment of the convertible bond of TIM S.p.A., as further detailed below.
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, 2021 the nominal total of outstanding loans with the EIB was 1,200 million euros, of which 850 million drawn down, none of it backed by a bank guarantee.
The three EIB loans signed on December 14, 2015, November 25, 2019 and May 19, 2021 contain the following covenants:
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 Brasil group contain general 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, 2021, no covenant, negative pledge or other clause relating to the debt position had in any way been breached or violated.
In this press release, in addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by IFRS, certain alternative performance measures are presented for the purposes of enabling a better understanding of the performance of operations and the financial position of the TIM Group. 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.
Specifically, following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group presents the following alternative performance measures:
This financial measure is used by TIM as the financial target in internal presentations (business plans) and in external presentations (to analysts and investors) and is a useful indicator of the ability to generate Free Cash Flow.
The other alternative performance measures used are described below:
■ EBITDA: This financial measure is used by TIM as the financial target in internal presentations (business plans) and in external presentations (to analysts and investors). It represents a useful unit of measurement for the evaluation of the operating performance of the Group (as a whole and at the Business Unit level), in addition to EBIT. These measures are calculated as follows:
EBITDA – Operating profit before depreciation and amortization, capital gains (losses) and impairment reversals (losses) on non-current assets
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 is used by TIM as the financial target in internal presentations (business plans) and external presentations (to analysts and investors), shows cash generation and is intended as the net cash flow before payments relating to dividend and investments in frequencies. Therefore, it represents the Free Cash Flow available for dividend payments, debt repayment, impacts of leasing transactions and investment in frequencies. This measure excludes the financial impact of any acquisition and/or disposal of equity investments.
The Equity Free Cash Flow measure is calculated as follows:
| + | Operating Net Free Cash Flow |
|---|---|
| - | Impact for leasing |
| - | Payment of licenses |
| - | Financial impact of acquisitions and/or disposals of shareholdings |
| - | Dividend payment and Change in Equity |
