The financial information related to January-March 2022 contained in this document has been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, which do not differ for the purposes of the Telefónica Group, from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Telefónica's management model, regional and integrated, means that the legal structure of the companies is not relevant for the release of Group financial information, and therefore, the operating results of each of these business units are presented independently, regardless of their legal structure. For the purpose of presenting information on a business unit basis, revenue and expenses arising from invoicing among companies within Telefónica's perimeter of consolidation for the use of the brand and management contracts have been excluded from the operating results for each business unit. This breakdown of the results does not affect Telefónica's consolidated earnings.
The English language translation of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish has been prepared solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. Despite all the efforts devoted to this translation, certain omissions or approximations may subsist. Telefónica, its representatives and employees decline all responsibility in this regard. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.

Telefónica Q1 2022 Financial Results 12th May 2022
Strong start to the year as the Group delivers value accretive growth

Highlights
•Clear strategic execution and delivery enabling considerable value creation.
◦Q1 22 update; reinforced leadership in core markets; in Spain, secured La Liga Content at 15% lower net cost (agreement with DAZN) and launched new convergent portfolio miMovistar; in Germany, O2 consolidated network quality; in the UK, on track to deliver VMO2 synergies and gigabit leader; in Brasil Oi mobile assets acquisition, value capture of R$5.4bn in synergies; while widening our consumer digital ecosystems. In T. Infra, ongoing conversations with investors for the creation of Spain and UK FibreCos, whereas T. Tech closed the acquisition of Incremental in the UK and announced in May the acquisition of BE-terna in Germany, adding new capabilities.
◦Looking ahead; we expect to improve our competitive positioning and benefit from potential in-market consolidation moves in Spain. In T. Hispam we continue modulating our exposure whilst increasing profitability, with more optionality. T. Tech is completing build-up of a fast-growing business, while boosting fibre opportunity and value crystallisation through T. Infra. Further technology and efficiency levers will be in the new operating model and attract new digital talent (new Universitas campus). Ultimately, the shaping of our business model will make it more relevant for society.
•ESG contributing to economic recovery through the Group's focus on digitalisation, social development and respect for the environment.
•Best in class customer profile owing to network and FTTH expansion, and excellent 5G position.
◦Total accesses +2%1 y-o-y; fibre +20%; mobile contract +5%.

Commenting on the results, José María Álvarez-Pallete, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Telefónica, said:
"We are pleased to report a strong start to the year as we continue to deliver against our strategy focused on value creation. To highlight this quarter, the successful closing of the Oi deal in Brazil, which will bring synergies of R$5.4bn; the continued materialisation of synergies in VMO2; the launch of miMovistar together with the agreement signed with DAZN in Spain for La Liga rights translating into 15% net deflation for this valuable content, and network quality consolidated in Germany. T. Tech continues building-up whilst growing revenue 80.6% y-o-y, whilst T. Infra continues pursuing new value creation opportunities in Spain and the UK.
Despite rising inflation, sustained growth momentum delivers a strong start to the year, with organic growth across the board and solid free cash flow generation. In reported terms, we are growing double digit in revenue in Brazil and Hispam and mid to high single-digit in Germany and the UK, whilst improving top-line growth in Spain. In OIBDA, we double-digit growth in Brazil, and mid to high single-digit OIBDA growth in Hispam, Germany and the UK.
Looking ahead, we are well on track to meet our 2022 financial guidance and I am pleased to confirm our dividend for 2022. We continue to see significant opportunities to drive performance across the business through digitalisation and helping society build a greener future, more inclusive future."

Improving customer base mix
The Group'saccesses base (including 100% of VMO2 accesses and excluding Costa Rica and El Salvador), increased by 2% y-o-y to 368.4m in Mar-22 with a continued growth in high value (FTTH +20% and mobile contract +5%).

Enhanced infrastructure and IT
The Group is focused on the development of a future-proof, open and virtualised network architecture.
Our fibre strategy is delivering returns. Fibre is the most effective technology for 5G and our fibre vehicles enable footprint expansion while optimising CapEx and returns.Telefonica retains the world leadership (outside of China) in UBB with premisespassed increasing 6% y-o-y to 162.9m as of Mar-22 (84.9m own network, +9% y-o-y) and FTTH increasing 18% y-o-y to 58.0m premises passed (55.5m own network, +16% y-o-y). We are evolving our fibre network (XGS-PON ready) with the OpenBroadbandproject. The shift will be gradual, and its commercial rollout across Brazil is planned to begin during 2023. Open access fixed customer equipment (in-house) totaled 46.5m, with 11.8m "Home Gateway Units" serving 94% of FTTH customers. By means of OPA-H (Open Access for Home), we are virtualising the application layer of our Customer Premise Equipment to build a differential value proposition including its use for third parties, and facilitating operation and maintenance as well as the introduction of services.

Stand-alone 5G implementation continues following successful spectrum acquisitions in Spain, UK and Brazil in 2021. 5G SA is already enabled in Germany, with Spain, the UK and Brazil to follow by Q4 22. The commercial launch of Stand Alone 5G will be implemented in line with evolving markets demands. 5G coverage is currently available in over 400 cities/towns across the UK, c. 250 cities across Germany and 21 cities in Brazil. In Spain 5G covers around 82% of the population. Thanks to network sharing agreements in Germany and the UK, the deployment of 5G is more efficient. In LTE, the coverage stood at 87% (99% in Europe and 83% in Latam), up 4 p.p. y-o-y.
The evolution towards a simpler and more automated IT mobile architecture progresses with Open RAN virtualisation. During 2022, extended validation in the field is due to take place in our core markets. The target is to attain 30-50% of total RAN growth between 2023-2025 (at least 800 commercial locations by mid-2023) with NEC as system integrator for pilots and commercial deployments in Germany, the UK, Spain, and Brazil.
In parallel, we continue testing NetworkSlicing use cases with partners and, in the MultiEdgeComputing ecosystem, our multiple partnerships with companies such as Microsoft and Google, our focus on the delivery of commercial solutions, and our ability to equip Central Offices with Edge platforms and 5G gave us a clear strategic advantage.
The Leadwind fund (launched by Telefónica together with K Fund) closed an amount of €140 million investment for technologies such as AI, data analytics, Edge Computing, 5G connectivity, blockchain and cloud services.
Telefónica remains fully committed to fighting climate change and continues to execute energy efficiency projects to stabilise electricity consumption, costs and CO2 emissions.
Currently, 100% of the electricity used is from renewable sources across the Group's core markets and Perú. In addition, in Q1 22, we started to purchase renewable energy in additional Hispam markets (guarantee of origin certificates); in Spain, the supply under the long-term renewable energy contract (+480 GWh/year) began; and in Brazil, we installed 23 green power plants.
We maintained our efforts to reduce our energy consumption: in Spain, 1,458 central offices have been closed since 2016 as part of the copper to fibre migration project by 2024, while in Brazil and Hispam, a partial switch off of the copper network is being carried out. In Hispam, a pilot of Energy Savings Automation began (with a Nokia solution), and at MWC, Telefónica was among the finalists for the "Best Mobile Innovation for Climate Action" award (first operator worldwide to test Ericsson's Radio -Deep Sleep Mode- power saving feature).
To mitigate CO2 emissions, we are implementing methodologies for reporting data on fuel consumption and refrigerant gas recharge in Brazil and Argentina and, in Colombia, Batteries as a Service (BaaS) and hybrid renewable solutions which will reduce fuel consumption by 60-90%. The Group is advancing towards its goal of net-zero emissions in key operations by 2025 in Scopes 1 and 2 (in addition to a 39% reduction in scope 3), as well as in Hispam and the entire value chain by 2040.
Across the Group, 81% of processes were digitalised (+2 p.p. y-o-y) and managed in real time, enabling an agile service.

Notes:
- The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period has been obtained applying the IAS rule 33 "Earnings per share". Thereby, the weighted average of shares held as treasury stock have not been taken into account as outstanding shares. On the other hand, the denominator is retrospectively adjusted for transactions that have changed the number of shares outstanding without a corresponding change in resources (as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented). For instance, the bonus share issue carried out to meet the scrip dividends paid in June and December 2021 have been taken into account.
- Basic earnings per share ratio is calculated dividing Profit for the period Attributable to equity holders of the Parent, adjusted for the net coupon corresponding to "Other equity instruments" (€51m in January-March 2022 and €73m in January-March 2021), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
- Telefónica Group consolidated results deconsolidate Telxius towers division while T. UK is no longer consolidated under the full consolidation method and the new VMO2 joint venture has been accounted for by the equity method since June 1, 2021. In addition, Telefónica Group consolidated results deconsolidate T. Costa Rica while incorporated Cancom UK&I since August 1, 2021, and deconsolidate T. El Salvador since January 1, 2022.

Foreign exchange movements had a positive impact of €242m on revenue and €95m on OIBDA in Q1 22 (€306m and €119m including 50% VMO2 results), which translated to a €53m positive impact on free cash flow, mainly due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real vs. the euro. At net debt level, FX had a negative impact of €1.3bn or €1.7bn at net debt plus leases.
Revenue decreased 9.0% y-o-y in Q1 22, mainly due to changes to the perimeter (-€1,592m, primarily due to the deconsolidation of T. UK on June 1, 2021 after the creation of VMO2 JV), partially offset by the positive FX impact. In organic terms, aggregating 50% of VMO2 JV results, revenue increased by 3.2% in Q1 22, with service revenue and handset sales growing 2.0% and 14.1% y-o-y, respectively. In organic terms, revenue remained resilient in Q1 22 across all the markets where the Group operates.
The weight of revenue from broadband connectivity and services beyond connectivity increased by 2.8 p.p. y-o-y to 73% of total service revenue in reported terms, while the share of voice and access decreased by 2.1 p.p. y-o-y to 27% in Q1 22.
B2Brevenue continues to show a positive trend delivering solid growth of 2.7% y-o-y in Q1 22 in organic terms. This performance was driven by a differential value proposition and key operating capabilities which allowed Telefónica to benefit from the ongoing demand for digitalisation projects from companies of all sizes.

Other income amounted to €637m in Q1 22, mainly reflecting the capital gain from the closing of Colombia's InfraCo transaction of €0.2bn.
Operating expenses decreased 5.5% y-o-y in Q1 22, positively affected by changes to the perimeter (+€1,043m), partially offset by the negative impact from FX. OpEx included €41m of restructuring costs in Hispam. In organic terms, aggregating 50% of VMO2 JV results, OpEx increased 6.0% y-o-y, due to higher supply and other operating costs.
Impairments and losses on disposal of assetsamounted to €13m in Q1 22 (€7m in Q1 21).
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA)decreased 6.4% y-o-y in Q1 22, mainly affected by changes to the perimeter (-€588m), which were partially offset by capital gains and favourable FX movements. In organic terms, aggregating 50% of VMO2 JV results, OIBDA growth accelerated to 2.1% y-o-y thanks to solid revenue performance. In organic terms, OIBDA trends remained positive across all Group markets, other than Spain.
OIBDA margin increased by 0.9 p.p. y-o-y to 34.0% in Q1 22 (-0.4 p.p. y-o-y organic to 33.3%).
Depreciation and amortisationincreased 4.2% y-o-y in Q1 22, mainly due to changes to the perimeter of €68m and FX movements, both partially offset by lower impact of accelerated amortisation at T. México resulting from the operating model transformation. In organic terms, D&A was virtually stable decreasing by 1.0% y-o-y.
Share of profit of investments accounted for by the equity methodamounted to €72m in Q1 22, mainly reflecting VMO2 JV's results.
Net financial expenses increased by 21.6% y-o-y in Q1 22, mainly due to the rise in interest rates and debt denominated in Brazilian real.
Corporate income taxwas 54.3% lower y-o-y in Q1 22, mainly due to the deconsolidation of T. UK.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interestsincreased 19.9% y-o-y in Q1 22, mainly due to higher profit from minority interests of T. Deutschland and T. Colombia, partially offset by lower profit from minority interests of Telxius.
Profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company amounted to €706m in Q1 22, with earnings per share totalling €0.12. In underlying terms, net income totalled €720m in Q1 22 (-33.1% y-o-y) with EPS totalling €0.12 (-31.8% y-o-y) after excluding -€27m of restructuring, +€58m of capital gains and -€45m of other impacts.

(1) In January-March 2022 it was associated mainly to the capital gain from the closing of Colombia's InfraCo transaction (€0.2bn).

Free cash flowgeneration amounted to €513m in Q1 22 vs. €33m in Q1 21, mainly affected by the deconsolidation of T. UK, which included €0.5bn of spectrum. Excluding spectrum payments, free cash flow amounted to €543m in Q1 22 vs. €727m in Q1 21.
OIBDA-CapEx (ex-spectrum) was up 5.0% y-o-y or +6.4% y-o-y in organic terms.
CapEx decreased 49.3% y-o-y to €1,017m in Q1 22 due to the spectrum accrued in Q1 21 and reflecting the positive impacts from changes in the perimeter. In organic terms, CapEx was down -4.9% y-o-y, mainly due to the lower pace of CapEx execution in Hispam. CapEx/Revenue stood at 12.0% in Q1 22 in organic terms.
Working capital consumed €246m in Q1 22, mainly impacted by recurrent seasonal effects, such as CapEx. It is worth highlighting the execution of factoring measures on accounts receivable. Compared to the same period in the previous year, working capital worsened by €69m, mainly affected by changes to the perimeter which was partially offset by positive impacts in Q1 22, mainly due to the application of the court ruling in Brazil.
Interest payments decreased by 3.0% y-o-y in Q1 22, as the reduction of debt in European currencies and seasonality effects were partially offset by the increase in interest rates and debt denominated in Brazilian real. The effective cost of interest payments over the last 12 months stood at 3.89% as of Mar-22 (excluding lease interests: 3.96%).
Dividends received amounted to €9m in Q1 22 (vs. €5m in Q1 21).
Tax payments remained stable y-o-y at €110m.
Dividends paid to minority shareholders totalled -€7m in Q1 22 (vs. -€3m in Q1 21).
Lease principal payments amountedto €586m in Q1 22 (vs. €545m in Q1 21).

Factors that negatively affected net financial debt included: i) labour-related commitment payments of €228m ii) shareholder remuneration of €221m (including coupon payments of capital instruments) and iii) other net factors totaling €1,508m mainly due to the higher value in euros of net debt in foreign currencies. Factors that decreased net debt included: i) free cash flow generation of €513m and ii) net financial divestments of €24m (sale of El Salvador, closing of Colombia's InfraCo transaction net of the purchase of Incremental).

Key messages
•New convergent portfolio launched in May, simple and flexible to easily integrate new home services.
•Revenue growth accelerated; double digit growth in IT revenue, roaming at pre-pandemic levels.
•Customer value increase; convergent ARPU returning to y-o-y growth, churn reducing to its lowest since Q3 16.

Operating performance
T. España reinforced its focus on a value offering during the first quarter with: the review of tariffs in February facilitating access to mobile handsets and other devices for our convergent customers; the development of services in new ecosystems such as insurance (home, car, new devices) or energy (photovoltaic self-consumption); and the agreement signed with DAZN which guarantees Movistar customers access to the entire "La Liga" for the next 5 seasons (with 15% net deflation compared to the current season).
In line with the Group's sustainability objectives, the JV formed with Repsol means that we are now providing green energy to our customers, while the 'Telefónica Forest' has been planted with 12,500 trees to absorb up to 3,000 tCO2. In parallel, we have launched our conciliation project starting with the "Yo No Renuncio" campaign aiming to improve the work-life balance of the workforce.
Following the seasonal campaigns in Q4 21, the market regained its rationality and commercial pressure eased compared with 2021, contributing to reach an all-time record NPS (43%).

Revenue grew y-o-y for the fourth consecutive quarter, accelerating vs the previous quarter (+0.5 p.p.).This is due to an improvement in both service revenue (-1.4% y-o-y; +0.1 p.p. vs Q4 21), as a result of the growth in ARPU, and handset sales (+86% y-o-y, +11 p.p. vs Q4 21), driven by the addition of a handset to the Fusión portfolio revamped in April-21. Furthermore, IT revenue continued to grow year-on-year at double digit and roaming has returned to pre-pandemic levels.
OIBDA declined 4.9% y-o-y (-3.4% in Q4 21) impacted by the significant increase in the cost of energy and the higher growth in lower margin revenue levers (like handsets), partially offset by the generation of efficiencies such as those from the latest restructuring plan (€30m of savings since the beginning of February following the exit of 2,317 employees) and the transformation of our fixed network (copper switch-off), among others. The OIBDA margin was 36.9% (-2.3 p.p. y-o-y).
CapEx declined 5.5% y-o-y despite the continued development of our NGN network (FTTH and 5G), while OIBDA-CapEx declined 4.7%, leaving a cash margin of 27.3% (-1.6 p.p. y-o-y), leading the European incumbents.

T. Deutschland, climate and the environment. The company's 'Reduce-Repair-Recycle' programme is an important building block for applying the Circular Economy. In 2021, T. Deutschland saved over 17 tons of plastic by delivering 8.6m SIM cards in half-SIM card format. For shipped devices, the company minimises waste by adapting recycled packaging for each product or, if possible, not using additional outer packaging. By no later than 2025, T. Deutschland wants to eliminate the use of non-recycled plastic in its own logistics.

The well received O2 Free portfolio and a solid contribution from partner brands continued to drive sustained growth of the contract mobilebase. The strong commercial traction of the O2 brand compensated for some anticipated temporarily higher churn on the back of the European Electronic Communications Code introduction; own brand churn in Q1 22, up 0.2 p.p. y-o-y to 1.2%.
O2 contract ARPU was -0.5% y-o-y on the back of a combination of the accelerated MTR glidepath and some enhanced focus on customer loyalty including retention and bundle benefits.
Prepaid accesses declined -100k in Q1 22 (Q1 21: -109k), driven by the ongoing prepaid to postpaid migration trend in the German market.
Fixed broadband accesses posted -10k net disconnections (Q1 21: -7k) mainly driven by ADSL as a legacy technology and some anticipated temporarily higher churn on the back of the EECC introduction. T. Deutschland's technology agnostic O2 my Home products remained popular, with positive net adds including fixed-mobile substitution (FMS).

Revenue continued to grow strongly, +5.2% y-o-y in Q1 22 (+1.6% y-o-y in Q4 21), including the impact from the accelerated MTR glidepath. T. Deutschland's mobile business grew +5.4% y-o-y, reflecting sustained MSR growth on the back of continued good commercial traction of the O2 brand and some support from the recovery of international roaming. Good availability of devices resulted in handset revenues increasing +13.2% y-o-y.
OIBDA posted strong growth of +7.0% y-o-y in Q1 22, with improved operational leverage in both, fixed and mobile. This reflects own brand momentum, further efficiency gains as well as some international roaming tailwinds. OIBDA margin expanded +0.5 p.p. y-o-y to 31.3%.
CapExwas up +16.1% y-o-y in Q1 22, with a CapEx/Sales ratio of 13.6% as T. Deutschland continued to execute its 'investment for growth' programme according to plan in its final year. The Company's 3-year programme passed its CapEx peak in FY 2021 and T. Deutschland is well on track to achieve normalised CapEx/Sales levels towards YE 2022.
As a result, OIBDA-CapEx grew +0.9% y-o-y in Q1 22 andOIBDA-CapEx/Revenue reached 17.7%, -0.8 p.p. y-o-y.

Operating performance
Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has started to ramp up network investments while improving products and services with big challenger decisions including not reintroducing EU roaming fees. The delivery of fixed and mobile price rises will also support revenue growth and allow continued investment as connectivity demand continues to increase.
FTTP upgrade pilots were completed in February, paving the way for the planned deployment of full fibre across the entire fixed network commencing later this year, with completion in 2028.
In January, VMO2 Business switched on a first of its kind multi-site private mobile network with British Sugar as part of a seven year partnership. It also launched 'Success Agreements' for new large enterprise and public sector customers which takes a new approach to typical SLAs, helping to define specific goals or outcomes for individual customers with added flexibility.
VMO2 announced progressive commitments to achieve gender parity and to increase employees from minoritised ethnic groups. As part of its new "All In" strategy, by 2027 it aims to; have equal representation of women and men in the company's wider leadership team; to have driven forward progress for gender parity, including all gender identities and expressions across the organisation; 15% of VMO2's wider leadership team will be from minoritised ethnic groups; and 25% of Virgin Media O2's wider organisation will be from minoritised ethnic groups.

Financial performance
Revenue was broadly flat in Q1 22 (vs -0.7% y-o-y in Q4 21), with +0.9% y-o-y increase in mobile revenue (vs +0.8% y-o-y in Q4 21) driven by a +4.9% y-o-y growth in handset revenue, being partially offset by lower service revenue. Fixed revenue declined -2.2% y-o-y in Q1 22 (vs +3.6% y-o-y in Q4 21) as consumer base expansion was offset by lower B2B revenue as a result of a high level of installation revenue for high-capacity data services within wholesale in Q1 21.
OIBDAgrew by +2.6% y-o-y in Q1 22 (vs -1.1% y-o-y in Q4 21), due to cost savings following the migration of the Virgin Mobile MVNO base from EE to Vodafone, lower sales and commissions and the flow through of cost synergies. OIBDA margin improved by 1.0 p.p. y-o-y in Q1 22 to 36.8% (vs Q4 21 32.4%).
CapEx increased +2.4% y-o-y in Q1 22 as the Company continued to invest in its fixed and mobile infrastructure. As a result, in Q1 22, OIBDA-CapEx increased +2.8% y-o-y with OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue up +0.5 p.p y-o-yto 16.6%.

•Chile: Revenue grew 3.9% y-o-y following the expansion of FTTH connections (+40% y-o-y; after reaching 3.7m premises passed, +1.0m in the last 12 months) and CPI-related tariff updates (c.7%). OIBDA grew 10.3% y-o-y. Following the launch of 5G in Dec-21, coverage reached all countries in the region. Meanwhile, Chilean Standard 3262 certification was renewed, reaffirming that internal procedures and action plans include a gender focus.
•Perú: Despite the difficult political and economic environment, revenue growth remained strong y-o-y (+7.9%) due to higher accesses and recent price increases for mobile contracts (c. +7%) and broadband (c. +4%). OIBDA grew 12.1% y-o-y. Furthermore, for a second consecutive year, and in accordance with I-REC and AENOR international certifications, 100% of electricity used in our domestic operations was renewable, reducing our carbon footprint by 92% since 2015.
•Colombia: Revenue grew 10.6% y-o-y, thanks to growth of mobile accesses (despite a more competitive market following the entry of Wom) and strong acceleration in FTTH connections (Q1 22: +68k, +55% y-o-y). OIBDA declined 7.7% y-o-y, mainly due to higher commercial and network costs.
•México: Revenue grew 0.4% y-o-y in Q1 22, versus -4.8% in Q4 21, as a result of an improved prepaid performance and solid growth in contract accesses (+17% y-o-y), despite the reduction in mobile termination rates (-7% y-o-y). In addition, the successful migration of traffic to the AT&T network continued with c.80% of traffic migrated as of March 2022 22. OIBDA declined -12.4% y-o-y as a result of a reduction in termination rates (-1.3% ex. effect).

Alternative performance measures
The management of the Group uses a series of APM in its decision-making, in addition to those expressly defined in the IFRS, as they provide additional information useful to assess the Group's performance, solvency and liquidity. These measures should not be viewed separately or as a substitute for the measures presented according to the IFRS.
Effect of the incorporation of the joint venture between Telefónica and Liberty Global in the UK
Telefónica UK, which was fully consolidated, left the consolidation perimeter on June 1, 2021. On the same date, the closing of the transaction resulting in the VMED O2 UK Ltd joint venture (VMO2) was carried out. VMO2 is considered a reportable segment in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, as Telefónica UK was until June 1, 2021, while VMO2 is a joint venture and as such it is registered by the equity method under IFRS. The effect on the Group's alternative performance measures included in this document is as follows:
•OIBDA/OIBDA - CapEx: Telefónica UK ceased to consolidate in the Group's OIBDA on June 1, 2021. The OIBDA of VMO2 does not compute in the Group's consolidated OIBDA.
•Debt indicators: Telefónica UK's debt is no longer consolidated in the Group as of June 1, 2021. The debt of VMO2 is not consolidated in the Telefónica Group debt.
•Free cash flow: Telefónica UK ceased to consolidate in the Group's free cash flow on June 1, 2021. From that date, dividends received from VMO2 are included in the Group's Free Cash Flow.
•Organic variations: 50% of VMO2's results are computed in the Group's organic variations in order to provide a more complete view of the evolution of the businesses managed by the Company and to reflect the relative weight of the different geographies. Furthermore, the Performance by segment table presents, in addition to the consolidated figures calculated in accordance with IFRS, the consolidated revenue, OIBDA and CapEx figures, aggregating 50% of VMO2.
•Underlying result: Telefónica UK ceased to consolidate in the Group's underlying profit or loss on June 1, 2021. VMO2 is included in the Group's underlying profit or loss under equity accounted investments.
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA)
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA) is calculated by excluding solely depreciation and amortisation from Operating income. OIBDA is used to track the performance of the business and to establish operating and strategic targets of Telefónica Group companies. OIBDA is a commonly reported measure and is widely used among analysts, investors and other interested parties in the telecommunications industry, although not a measure explicitly defined in IFRS, and therefore, may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other companies. OIBDA should not be considered as a substitute for Operating income.
Furthermore, the Group uses the OIBDA margin measure, which is the result of dividing OIBDA by revenue.
Reported figures for 2021 and 2022 include the impacts of IFRS 16 Leases. Since the adoption of the new standard (January 1, 2019) most of lease expenses that under prior accounting standard affected operating expenses, are now affecting depreciation and amortisation or net financial expenses, resulting in higher OIBDA under IFRS 16.
The detailed reconciliation of Telefónica Group's OIBDA and Operating Income can be found in the selected financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/03/rdos22t1-data.zip. OIBDA is also defined on consolidated financial statements published by the Group for 2021 (see "Alternative measures not defined in IFRS" in Note 2).
OIBDA-CapEx and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions
OIBDA-CapEx is defined as Operating income before depreciation and amortisation, reduced by accrued capital expenditures. OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions is defined as Operating income before depreciation and amortisation, reduced by accrued capital expenditures excluding those related to spectrum acquisitions.
Furthermore, the Group uses the measures OIBDA-CapEx margin and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions margin, which is the result of dividing these measures by revenue.
We believe that it is important to consider capital expenditures, and capital expenditures excluding spectrum acquisitions, together with OIBDA in order to have a more complete measure of the performance of our telecommunications businesses. We use these measures internally to track the performance of our business, to establish operating and strategic targets of the Group's businesses and in our internal budgeting process.
30
Neither OIBDA-CapEx nor OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions is a measure expressly defined in IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other companies. In addition, neither OIBDA-CapEx nor OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions should be considered a substitute for Operating income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, or any measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with IFRS.
OIBDA-CapEx and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions are also defined on the consolidated financial statements published by the Group for 2021 (see "Alternative measures not defined in IFRS" in Note 2).
Debt indicators
a)Net financial debt and Net financial debt plus leases and Net financial debt plus commitments
As per the Group calculation, net financial debt includes: i) current and non-current financial liabilities in our consolidated statement of financial position (which includes the negative mark-to-market value of derivatives), ii) other payables included in "Payables and other non-current liabilities" and "Payables and other current liabilities" (mainly corresponding to payables for deferred payment of radio spectrum that have an explicit financial component) and (iii) financial liabilities included in "Liabilities associated with non-current assets classified as held for sale".
From these liabilities, the following are subtracted: i) cash and cash equivalents, ii) current financial assets (which include short-term derivatives), iii) the positive mark-to-market value of derivatives with a maturity beyond one year, iv) other interest-bearing assets (components of "Receivables and other current assets", "Tax receivables" and "Financial assets and other non-current assets" in the consolidated statement of financial position), v) cash and other current financial assets included in "Non-current assets classified as held for sale" and vi) mark-to-market adjustment by cash flow hedging activities related to debt. In "Receivables and other current assets" we include the customer financing of terminal sales classified as short term, and "Financial assets and other non-current assets" includes derivatives, instalments for the long-term sales of terminals to customers and other long-term financial assets.
Since the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases in 2019, the indicator "Net financial debt plus leases" was included, which is calculated by adding to the net financial debt the lease liabilities under IFRS 16 (including also those corresponding to the companies held for sale) and deducting assets from subleases. This indicator cannot be presented comparatively for periods prior to 2019.
Net financial debt plus commitments is calculated by adding gross commitments related to employee benefits to net financial debt and deducting the value of long-term assets associated with those commitments and the tax benefits arising from the future payments of those commitments. Gross commitments related to employee benefits are current and non-current provisions recorded for certain employee benefits such as termination plans, post-employment defined benefit plans and other benefits.
Net financial debt, net financial debt plus leases and net financial debt plus commitments are meaningful for investors and analysts because they provide an analysis of Group solvency using the same measures used by Group management. They are used to calculate internally certain solvency and leverage ratios. Nevertheless, none of them should be considered as a substitute for gross financial debt as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The reconciliation of Telefónica Group's gross financial debt according to the consolidated statement of financial position, net financial debt and net financial debt plus leases at the end of March 2022 can be found on page 28 of this document and in the financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/03/rdos22t1-data.zip. Net financial debt is also defined in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2021 (see "Alternative measures not defined in IFRS" in Note 2.
b)Leverage ratio
Since the first quarter of 2020 (once annual homogeneous data was available after the adoption of IFRS 16 in January 2019), the leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of net financial debt over OIBDAaL (OIBDA after leases) for the past 12 months, including or excluding the OIBDAaL of the companies which are incorporated or removed from the perimeter of consolidation, and excluding certain non-ordinary factors.
The reconciliation of the leverage ratio can be found in the selected financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/03/rdos22t1-data.zip.
31
Free Cash Flow
The Group's free cash flow is calculated starting from "Net cash flow provided by operating activities" as indicated in the consolidated statement of cash flows; deducting (payments)/proceeds on investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net, adding the cash received form government grants and deducting dividends paid to minority interests and payments of financed spectrum without explicit interest. The cash used to cancel commitments related to employee benefits (originally included in the Net cash flow provided by operating activities) is added as it represents the payments of principal of the debt incurred with those employees.
Since the adoption of IFRS 16 in 2019, the principal payments of lease liabilities are considered as net cash used in financing activities within the consolidated cash flow statement. Under the previous standard, it was considered within net cash flow provided by operating activities. However, to guarantee comparability with previous periods, the principal payments of lease liabilities are deducted in the calculation of the "Free cash flow" of 2019. For information purposes, the indicator "Free cash flow excluding lease principal payments" was added, which excludes these payments. This indicator cannot be presented comparatively for periods prior to 2019.
We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure for investors and analysts because it provides an analysis of the cash flow available to protect solvency levels and to remunerate the parent company's shareholders and other equity holders. The same measure is used internally by Group management. Nevertheless, free cash flow should not be considered as a substitute for the various flows of cash as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The reconciliation of net cash flow from operations, according to the consolidated statement of cash flows (on a straight-line basis) and the Group's Free cash flow according to the above definition, can be found on the selected financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/03/rdos22t1-data.zip. Free cash flow is also defined in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2021 (see "Alternative measures not defined in IFRS" in Note 2).
Organic variations
Y-o-y changes referred to in this document as "organic" or presented "in organic terms" intend to present a homogeneous comparison by applying adjustments which are described herein. "Organic" variations provide useful information about the evolution of the business due to several factors:
•They provide information on the organic performance of the Group's operations in the different markets in which it operates, by maintaining constant exchange rates and perimeter, adjusting the results corresponding to the participation of relevant non-consolidated operations in the Group (VMO2 joint venture in the UK), removing the impact of certain exogenous factors which may distort the y-o-y comparison since they are specific to a certain moment and not associated with the ordinary performance of the business (such as, for example, capital gains or losses from the sale of companies or restructuring associated to simplification plans and aimed at improving efficiency and future profitability of the Company) and therefore, helping the business performance analysis in homogeneous terms.
•Organic results are therefore used both internally and by the various agents in the market to conduct consistent monitoring of trends and of the operating performance of the business. Moreover, this data helps the comparison between the business performance of Telefónica and that of other operators, although the term "organic" is not a term defined in IFRS, and the "organic" measures included herein may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
For the purposes of this document, "organic" variation 2022/2021 is defined as the reported variation adjusted by the following factors:
•Includes 50% of VMO2 joint venture's results.

Underlying Result
"Underlying" result or results in "underlying" terms intend to present a result adjusted by certain factors which distort the analysis of the business performance, but without adjusting for exchange rates, hyperinflation, or perimeter. The underlying result is calculated up to net income, while organic variations are calculated up to the Operating income and OIBDA - CapEx. The "underlying" result provides useful information for the company and market agents because:
•It provides additional information on the underlying performance of the Group's operations, removing the distorting effects of certain factors, as they are specific to a certain moment and not associated with the ordinary performance of the business, facilitating the underlying analysis of the business.
•The inclusion of the business underlying performance is used both internally and by the various agents in the market to consistently monitor trends and operating performance of the business; this data also facilitates the relation between the business performance of Telefónica and that of other operators, although the term "underlying" is not a term defined in IFRS, and the "underlying" measures included herein may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
For the purposes of this document, "underlying" result is defined as the reported result as adjusted by the following factors:
•Does not include capital gains/losses from the sale of companies, for significant impacts, write-offs, material non-recurring impacts and restructuring costs.
•Amortisation of intangible assets from purchase price allocation processes is also excluded.
