TIM PRESENTS THE FY 2018 PRELIMINARY RESULTS AND 2019 PRELIMINARY BUDGET

Rome, 17 January 2019

TIM’s Board of Directors met today in Rome chaired by Fulvio Conti and was informed about the preliminary results for 2018.

Organic EBITDA of the Domestic Business Unit is expected to be lower (mid-single digit) compared to the previous year, notwithstanding TIM’s greater resilience compared to the market. Supported by the improved performace of the Brazil Business Unit, the overall consolidated organic figure is expected to be approximately 8.1 billion euro. The trend of the Group organic revenues is confirmed. Adjusted consolidated net financial debt is expected to be approximately 25.2 billion euro, after the payment of 513 million euros for licences.

The operational figures have not yet been checked by the external auditor. In addition, since the activities to produce the consolidated Financial Statements for 2018 are still underway, these operational figures must not be considered definitive and could change.

The Board of Directors also discussed the preliminary 2019 budget. The initial outlook of the Domestic Business Unit shows an operating performance that reflects the competitive dynamics that impacted 2018 (already commented in detail with the interim financial statement at 30 September 2018) and are expected to influence also 2019, especially the first semester.

The 2019-2021 Plan will be presented for approval to the Board of Directors on 21 February next, together with the final FY 2018 Financial Statements.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. The Group’s interim financial report as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included in this Form 6-K contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “may,” “is expected to,” “will,” “will continue,” “should,” “seeks” or “anticipates” or similar expressions or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology, or by the forward- looking nature of discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

Actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking information is based on certain key assumptions which we believe to be reasonable but forward-looking information by its nature involves risks and uncertainties, which are outside our control, that could significantly affect expected results.

The following important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-looking statements:

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, including, without limitation, changes in our business or acquisition strategy or planned capital expenditures, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
