Telecom Argentina S.A.

announces consolidated results for the first half (“1H24) and second quarter of fiscal year 2024 (“2Q24”) ^**

Note: For the figures included in the FFSS, the Company has accounted for the effects of inflation adjustment adopted by Resolution 777/18 of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”), which establishes that the restatement will be applied to annual financial statements, interim and special periods ending as of December 31, 2018 inclusive. Accordingly, the reported figures corresponding to 1H24 include the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting in accordance with IAS 29. Therefore, comments related to variations of results between 1H24 and 1H23 mentioned in this press release correspond to “figures restated by inflation” or “constant” figures. Moreover, Table 3 shows information broken down by segment for periods ended as of June 30 of 2024 and 2023, as analyzed by the Executive Committee and the CEO, who receive periodically the financial information of Telecom and its subsidiaries (in historical values). For further details, please refer to the titles of the financial tables beginning on page 12.

·	It should be noted that the results presented on a comparative basis (June 2023) include the effect of the year-over-year inflation as of June 2024, which was 271.5%.

The Company's Consolidated Revenues amounted to P$1,666,979 million in 1H24 (-13.3% in constant currency compared to 1H23). Service Revenues totaled P$1,572,594 million (-11.7% vs. 1H23), in a context where year-over-year inflation remains at high levels. In 2Q24, revenues reached P$856,084 million (-8.3% vs. 2Q23) while Service Revenues totaled P$799,692 million (-6.7% vs. 2Q23 and +3.5% vs. 1Q24), indicating an improvement in the trend of these revenues in real terms.

·	During 1H24 in Argentina, Mobile accesses increased reaching 21.2 million in 1H24 (+578 thousand vs. 1H23). In broadband 4.1 million accesses were registered (-33.8 thousand vs. 1H23). Finally, Pay TV subscribers totaled 3.1 million in the same period (-26.9 thousand vs. 1H23).

During 1H24 the margin of Operating Income before Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments of Fixed Assets ("Operating Income before D, A & I") over revenues showed a positive trend compared to the same period of the previous year, registering 29.7% (vs. 28.4% in 1H23). Additionally, in 2Q24, the margin experienced a notable improvement, reaching 29.1% (+2.8 pp vs. 2Q23). This improvement is due to the effective management of Operating Costs before Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments of Fixed Assets, which during 1H24 recorded a significant decrease in real terms (-14.9% vs. 1H23). In 1H24, Operating Income before D, A & I totaled P$495,092 million.

Due to the real appreciation of the Argentine peso against the US dollar during 1H24 (due to inflation being higher than devaluation during the period), the Company recorded a net income of P$859,223 million (compared to an income of P$146,409 million in 1H23), mainly explained by gains from exchange rate differences in real terms included in Financial Results.

·	Investments (including right-of-use assets) amounted to P$315,946 million in 1H24 (+3.7% in constant currency vs. 1H23), which represents 19.0% of our Consolidated Revenues. CAPEX (excluding right-of-use assets) during the 1H24 represented 13.5% of Consolidated Revenues.

·	Net Financial Debt totaled P$2,189,225 million as of June 30, 2024, decreasing in real terms (-34.2% in constant currency vs. December 31, 2023).

Buenos Aires, August 12, 2024 - Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina”) - (NYSE: TEO; BYMA: TECO2), announced today a Net Income of P$859,223 million for the period ended June 30, 2024, mainly explained by gains from exchange rate differences in real terms included in Financial Results. The Net Income attributable to the controlling company was P$851,682 million.

It should be noted that comparative figures for the previous fiscal year have been restated by inflation so that the resulting information is presented in terms of the current measurement unit as of June 30, 2024.

The following table shows the evolution of the national consumer price index (National CPI - according to INDEC’s official statistics) as of December 31, 2023, and as of June 30, 2023, and 2024, used for the restatement of figures in constant currency:

During 1H24, Consolidated Revenues amounted to P$1,666,979 million, from which Service Revenues totaled P$1,572,594 million.

During 1H24, Service Revenues decreased by 11.7% compared to 1H23, mainly due to the net effect of the price increases implemented by the Company on revenues being lower than the year-on-year inflation rate, which stood at 271.5%. This is considering that higher levels of discounts were granted to customers to maintain the client base amid intense market competition. However, a trend of recovery in Service Revenues in real terms has been observed, strengthening during 2Q24 (-6.7% vs. 2Q23 and +3.5% vs. 1Q24 – see chart No. 2 on page No. 2).

During the Mobile World Congress 2024, the Company was distinguished, for the fifth consecutive time by Ookla, a global leader in network usage testing, for having the fastest mobile network in Argentina, as verified through its SpeedTest platform. Thus, it is the only operator in Latin America to achieve this accomplishment as of this date.

During 1H24, Mobile service revenues in Paraguay reached P$64,280 million (+ P$3,472 million or +5.7% vs. 1H23). The increase is mainly due to the depreciation in real terms of the Argentine peso against the Guarani.

Internet services revenues totaled P$418,073 million during 1H24 (+P$7,700 million or +1.9% vs. 1H23). In 2Q24, Internet services revenues totaled P$218,247 million (+12.4% compared to 2Q23).

The subscriber base in Argentina amounted to 3.1 million accesses as of June 30, 2024, reflecting a 0.9% decrease compared to 1H23. This decline is primarily attributed to the country's economic situation and a shift in customer consumption trends. Despite this, the number of Flow subscribers continued to grow (+11% vs. 1H23), demonstrating the strength and market acceptance of the platform in the market. Premium subscriptions as of 1H24 amounted to 1.2 million. Monthly churn rate was 2.0% as of June 30, 2024, and 2023.

In 2Q24, other service revenues were P$8,449 million (+13.0% vs. 2Q23)

The main variation is driven by the increase in fintech services in Argentina, mainly due to the growth in platform usage and the increase in the number of users.

Similarly, Personal Pay, ended the period with 2.9 million customers (vs. 1.2 million in 1H23).

Revenues from equipment sales

Equipment revenues reached P$94,385 million (-P$47,186 million or -33.3% vs. 1H23). This variation is mainly due to a 31% decrease in the quantity of handsets sold compared to 1H23. In 2Q24, equipment sales were P$56,392 million (-26.8% vs. 2Q23).

Consolidated Operating Costs

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. In addition, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others: (i) the Company’s ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to achieve synergies resulting from the Merger; (ii) the Company’s ability to introduce new products and services that enable business growth; (iii) uncertainties relating to political and economic conditions in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and the United States, including the policies of the new government in Argentina; (iv) the impact of political developments, including the policies of the new government in Argentina, on the demand for securities of Argentine companies; (v) inflation, the devaluation of the peso, the Guaraní and the Uruguayan peso and exchange rate risks in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay; (vi) restrictions on the ability to exchange Argentine or Uruguayan pesos or Paraguayan guaraníes into foreign currencies and transfer funds abroad; (vii) the impact of currency and exchange measures or restrictions on our ability to access the international markets and our ability to repay our dollar-denominated indebtedness; (viii) the creditworthiness of our actual or potential customers; (ix) the nationalization, expropriation and/or increased government intervention in companies; (x) technological changes; (xi) the impact of legal or regulatory matters, changes in the interpretation of current or future regulations or reform and changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the Company operates, including regulatory developments such as sanctions regimes in other jurisdictions (e.g., the United States) which impact on the Company’s suppliers; (xii) the effects of increased competition; (xiii) reliance on content produced by third parties; (xiv) increasing cost of the Company’s supplies; (xv) inability to finance on reasonable terms capital expenditures required to remain competitive; (xvi) fluctuations, whether seasonal or in response to adverse macro-economic developments, in the demand for advertising; (xvii) the Company’s ability to compete and develop our business in the future; (xviii) the impact of increased national or international restrictions on the transfer or use of telecommunications technology; and (xix) the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the global economy and specifically on the economies of the countries in which we operate, as well as on our operations and financial performance. Many of these factors are macroeconomic and regulatory in nature and therefore beyond the control of the Company’s management. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The Company does not intend and does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from our future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are encouraged to consult the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and the periodic filings made on Form 6-K, which are periodically filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the presentations periodically filed before the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores) and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos), for further information concerning risks and uncertainties faced by the Company.
