TABLE OF CONTENTS

The financial information related to January-September 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 Q3 2022 Financial Results                      4th November 2022
Steady execution of our strategy whilst delivering sustainable growth

Highlights
Continued strengthening of our core markets. Spain shows ongoing KPIs momentum, reinforced with "miMovistar” proposition. OIBDA improved sequentially supported by further efficiencies. In Brazil Vivo continues integrating Oi mobile accesses and capturing synergies. Unrivalled operational performance drive organic y-o-y growth in OIBDA margin under double-digit revenue growth. Germany showed again strong commercial traction and revamped “O2myHome” tariff in a M4M move, while revenue and OIBDA accelerated performance. VMO2 continued capturing synergies, targeting 30% of £540m run rate by 2022E, whilst strengthening its leading content strategy (Premier League, Disney+). T. Infra further increased its fibre vehicles in July with the addition of Spain and UK. T. Tech grew at scale ahead of the market with a strong funnel.
Looking forward, we continue to leverage new growth opportunities. T. Infra, capturing growth through fibre vehicles (12m1 PPs as of Sep-22) while analysing opportunities to crystallise value. T. Tech, a potential source of value due to its fast-growing B2B digital services and new partnerships (McAffee, Sherpa.ai). In Hispam we continue modulating exposure to the region while maintaining optionality. In Spain, in-market consolidation and the European Recovery Fund are upside opportunities. Network leadership evolution brings an opportunity for our industry building up around the concept of Network as a Service (NaaS), and an ongoing shift to a strategy oriented at Web3 supported by agreements to invest in cutting-edge companies (Imascono, Bit2Me) and new partnerships (Qualcomm).

Commenting on the results, José María Álvarez-Pallete, Chairman and CEO of Telefónica, said:
"We delivered another quarter of sustainable growth, driven by the relentless execution of our strategy. In Q3 22, our reported revenue growth accelerated significantly to +11.2% y-o-y, while underlying OIBDA was back to growth at +8.5%, with 9M 22 FCF up 68.2% y-o-y.
Q3 22 results allow us to confirm our full year-guidance, narrowed to the mid to upper end of the low-single-digit range at H1 22 results, and our dividend commitment for 2022, despite a very challenging macro backdrop. We are certainly not immune against these conditions, but we have a proven experience to successfully manage our business in this environment.
During the quarter we continued with our deliberate capital allocation, focused on next generation networks to capture future growth and strengthening our balance sheet at the same time. We have a strong liquidity position that allows to cover maturities over the next three years while 74% of our debt has fixed rates with an average life of 13.0 years.
Lastly, we remained committed to help society, contributing via our network reach, our P&S and our social efforts to make technology more accessible."

Outlook
January-September 2022 results on track to meet guidance for 2022 (organic2 including 50% of VMO2 JV). Against a challenging backdrop:
Revenue: “high-end of the low single digit growth” range.
OIBDA: “mid-to-high-end of the low single digit growth” range.
CapEx (ex-spectrum) to sales ratio of up to 15%.
2     Includes 50% of VMO2 JV results. Assumes constant exchange rates of 2021 (average in 2021). Excludes the contribution to growth from T. Argentina and T. Venezuela.
Considers constant perimeter of consolidation and does not include capital gains/losses from the sale of companies, for significant impacts. Does not include write-offs, material non-recurring impacts and restructuring costs. CapEx excludes investments in spectrum

Improving customer base mix
The Group’s accesses base reached 383.5m in Sep-22 and increased 5% y-o-y driven by high value accesses growth, with FTTH +17% and mobile contract +8%.

Enhanced infrastructure and IT
Our secure, resilient, open, virtualised and future-proof networks are increasingly capable of handling a higher traffic and services demand in this digital world on the back of our long-term vision and investment commitment.
We maintain a technological leadership in fibre, the optimal carrier for the next fifty years, and continue to hold the global lead (ex-China) in total UBB PPs with 166.3m as of Sep-22, +6% y-o-y (87.2m own network, +8% y-o-y). FTTH PPs increased 16% y-o-y to 62.2m PPs (59.4m own network, +15% y-o-y). Fibre vehicles allow to expand our reach while optimising CapEx and returns with a greener technology, 85% more efficient in energy consumption than copper.

informestrimword_3ene-sepx.jpg
We continue to gradually upgrade fibre (XGS-PON ready). The evolution from 1Gbps to 50Gbps may be done with minimal impact on CapEx and bring new capabilities development as well as 5G networks optimisation and backhaul. In the Open Broadband project, lab and field tests progressed well during 2022 and commercial rollout is expected for 2023 in Brazil, while Open access fixed CPEs (in-house) reached 48.6m, including 11.8m HGUs (95% of FTTH customers). OPA-H (Open Access for Home) builds a differential value proposition through our CPEs application layer virtualisation (massive deployment of Single Agent in >4M HGUs in Spain with use cases of operations and services of Smart WiFi and Secure connection, also tests in 2022 for Brazil and Hispam).
5G will be applied across all sectors being 90% more energy efficient than 4G per unit of traffic. With 5G spectrum in our core markets, we follow a pragmatic approach with 5G roll out adapted to commercial needs (5G SA already launched in Brazil). 5G coverage reached over 800 towns and cities in the UK, 75% pop. in Germany, 83% pop. in Spain and 35 cities in Brazil. LTE coverage is 90% (99% in Europe and 86% in Latam), up 6 p.p. y-o-y.
The new digital reality requires the adaptation of both network and IT technological architectures. Network virtualisation and softwarisation, the telco cloud paradigm and Open RAN architectures in mobile networks and Open Broadband in fixed networks stand out. As such, to provide flexibility in 5G networks, cloud environments can be used to run on-demand Virtual Network Functions (VNF) while Software Define Networks (SDN) can dynamically change the network topology according to the load and service requirements. Open RAN virtualisation will drive a simpler and more automated IT mobile architecture, and in 2022, validation in the field progress in core markets, with the target of attaining 30-50% of total RAN growth between 2023-2025. Furthermore, 81% of Telefonica's processes are now digitalised and managed in real time (+2 p.p. y-o-y).
Testing of Network Slicing use cases starts the next phase towards the commercial implementation of static slicing. Our strategic advantage in the Multi Edge Computing ecosystem leverages on key partnerships (Microsoft and Google), commercial solutions, and our ability to equip Central Offices with Edge platforms and 5G. As a new project to leverage our networks, we are working on NaaS internally and in collaboration with the Industry (GSMA), to expose our telco capabilities to third parties to enable them to develop new advanced services, like metaverse or private networks as a service, and to enhance their end-user application experience. Focus is the standardisation of APIs, leveraging existing internal capabilities (Telefónica Kernel and our Apified networks and systems). Disruptive services as holographic communications, where Telefónica is working with Matsuko, will take advantage as well of both slicing and NaaS.
5G enhanced capabilities (Slicing, MEC, NaaS) require the ongoing evolution of Systems (BS/OS) which play a key role to digitise and automate the delivery of the new services, enabling new business models under the IT as a Service paradigm.
To stabilise electricity consumption, costs and CO2 emissions, we continue to implement energy efficiency projects as part of our commitment to fighting climate change. 100% of electricity used is from renewable sources across the core markets, Peru and Chile. Also, in 2022 we began to purchase renewable energy in more Hispam markets and Brazil progressed in its Distributed Generation project, with the installation of 43 power plants (of a planned total of 85) that will allow the generation of more than 700GWh renewable energy per year.
We are reducing energy consumption through initiatives such as legacy switch off or reducing RAN consumption. Since 2015, we reduced energy consumption (electricity + fuel) by 7.2% despite the traffic managed by our networks increased more than 6.7x. In Spain, 749 COs were closed in 2022 (2,197 since 2014), as part of the copper migration targeted for 2024, and Hispam progressed in multi-layer and 2G switch-off. All helping our goal of net-zero emissions in 2040, with interim target of reducing its scope 1+2 emissions by 90% and neutralising unabated emissions in key markets by 2025.

- 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, as well as June 2022, 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” (€154m in January-September 2022 and €181m in January-September 2021), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

In Q3 22, impacts from changes to the perimeter were limited and FX moves were supportive y-o-y. The impact from changes to the perimeter reduced to -€47m on revenue and +€16m on OIBDA (-€2,755m and -€983m in 9M 22). FX movements had a positive impact, mainly due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real vs. the euro, of €494m on revenue and €188m on OIBDA in Q3 22 (€1,262m and €470m in 9M 22). Including 50% VMO2 results the FX impact amounted to €493m and €187m on revenue and OIBDA respectively (€1,349m and €503m in 9M 22). FX moves translated to a €176m positive impact on free cash flow in 9M 22 while on net debt, FX had a negative impact of €1.0bn, or €1.5bn at net debt plus leases in 9M 22.
Revenue growth accelerated to +11.2% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+0.6% y-o-y in 9M 22) with FX moves supportive to y-o-y trends. In organic terms, revenue increased by 3.8% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+4.1% in 9M 22) with service revenue and handset sales growing by 2.8% and 12.2% y-o-y respectively (+2.9% and +14.5% y-o-y in 9M 22).
The weight of revenue from broadband connectivity and services beyond connectivity increased by 1.7 p.p. y-o-y to 72% of total service revenue in reported terms, while share of voice and access decreased by 1.5 p.p. to 27% in 9M 22.
B2B revenue organic growth continued to post solid growth of +6.5% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+4.3% vs 9M 21 to €6.4bn). Growth accelerated 2.9 p.p. q-o-q mainly due to Spain and Brazil, better performance of IT & digital services in the Corporate segment and to a lesser extend in SMB.
Other income amounted to €459m in Q3 22 and €1,527m in 9M 22, including a €0.2bn capital gain from Colombia's Infraco in Q1 22. 2021 figures (€1,144m in Q3 21 and €12,019m in 9M 21) were affected by capital gains from the creation of VMO2's JV, the sale of Telxius towers, the sale of T. Costa Rica and the fibre vehicles in Brazil and Chile.

informestrimword_3ene-sepx.jpg
Operating expenses increased 13.0% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+3.6% y-o-y in 9M 22) negatively affected by FX impacts. OpEx included €44m of restructuring costs mainly in Hispam. In organic terms, OpEx increased 4.5% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+5.8% y-o-y in 9M 22), mainly due to higher supply and personnel costs.
Impairments and losses on disposal of assets amounted to €22m in Q3 22 and €43m in 9M 22.
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA) -13.0% y-o-y in Q3 22, -53.5% y-o-y in 9M 22, affected by capital gains booked in 2021, that partially offset the positive impact from FX moves. In organic terms, OIBDA growth accelerated to +3.1% y-o-y (+2.9% in 9M 22), and in underlying terms it was back to growth (+8.5%, -2.8% in 9M 21).
OIBDA margin in organic terms was stable (-0.2 p.p. y-o-y to 32.8% in Q3 22; -0.4 p.p. y-o-y to 32.8% in 9M 22).
Depreciation and amortisation increased 8.3% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+6.0% y-o-y in 9M 22) mainly due to FX impacts. In organic terms, D&A increased by 1.7% y-o-y in Q3 22 (-0.9% y-o-y in 9M 22).
Share of profit of investments accounted for by the equity method amounted to €376m in Q3 22 and €481m in 9M 22, mainly including VMO2 JV's results mainly affected by the change in fair value of derivatives (€535m, net of taxes).
Net financial expenses increased by 90.0% y-o-y to €733m in Q3 22 impacted mainly by the changes in the value of equity derivatives related to own shares (-€307m). Excluding this impact net financial expenses would have grown 9.8%, largely due to the rise in interest rates and debt denominated in Brazilian reais as well as the appreciation of this currency against the euro. This also explains net financial expenses increasing by 48.5% to €1,393m in 9M 22.
Corporate income tax amounted to €4m in Q3 22, vs €355m in Q3 21, mainly due to higher profit before taxes in 2021 derived from extraordinary capital gains, and the registration in Sep-22 of a defer tax asset in Spain. In 9M 22 Corporate income tax was down 79.7% y-o-y mainly affected by extraordinary effects in 2021 (the outcome of the tax inspection in Spain and capital gains) and the deconsolidation of T. UK.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests was down -34.7% y-o-y in Q3 22 mainly due to lower profit from minority interests of T. Deutschland, partially offset by higher profit from minority interests of T. Brasil. 9M 22 y-o-y variation (-91.4%) was affected by the sale of Telxius towers in 2021.
Profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company amounted to €460m in Q3 22 with earnings per share of €0.07 (€1,486m and €0.23 in 9M 22). In underlying terms, net income totalled €178m (-63.6% y-o-y) with EPS of €0.02 (-70.5% y-o-y) after excluding -€28m of restructuring and +€310m of other impacts. In 9M 22, underlying net income amounted to €1,343m (-36.3% y-o-y) and EPS to €0.21 (-38.3% y-o-y) after excluding -€62m of restructuring, +€58m of capital gains and +€147m of other impacts.

= Free Cash Flow per share (Euros)0.43 0.25 72.1 
- 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, as well as June 2022, have been taken into account.
- Spectrum payments amounted to €40m in January-September 2022 (mainly €21m in Germany and €12m in Hispam). In January-September 2021 totalled €1,012m (mainly €521m in the UK, €333m in Spain and €133m in Chile).
(1) In January-September 2022 it was associated mainly to the capital gain from Colombia's InfraCo (€0.2bn). In January-September 2021 it was associated mainly to capital gains from the creation of VMO2's JV, the sale of Telxius towers, the sale of T. Costa Rica and the creation of fibre vehicles in Brazil and Chile.

Free cash flow amounted to €1,125m in Q3 22 vs €560m in Q3 21, reflecting dividends received in Q3 22 (€328m) and spectrum payments in Q3 21 (€309m). In addition, it was mainly affected by a higher organic CapEx execution and higher lease principal payments, partially offsetting an improved y-o-y WC. In 9M 22, free cash flow was €2,474m vs €1,470m in 9M 21, mainly due to lower spectrum payments, higher dividends received, lower WC consumption, partially offsetting the impacts from changes to the perimeter, and higher lease principal and financial payments.
OIBDA-CapEx decreased by -7.5% y-o-y in organic terms in Q3 22 mainly due to an increase in CapEx. OIBDA-CapEx was up +0.9% y-o-y organic in 9M 22.
CapEx grew 3.1% y-o-y in Q3 22. It was up 18.4% y-o-y in organic terms mainly due to a different CapEx execution. In 9M 22, CapEx was down -17.8% y-o-y mainly due to spectrum acquisitions in 9M 21 and impacts from changes to the perimeter. In organic terms, it was up 5.6% y-o-y in 9M 22 affected by a different CapEx execution with CapEx/Revenue standing at 13.8%.
Working capital consumed €109m in 9M 22 mainly impacted by recurrent seasonal effects, such as CapEx, partially offset by the application of the court ruling in Brazil and financed spectrum accruals to be paid in the coming years. Compared to 9M 21, working capital improved by €256m, mainly affected by the application of the court ruling in Brazil and financed spectrum, which more than offset the impact of changes in the perimeter and Capex seasonality.
Interest payments increased by 7.5% y-o-y in 9M 22 due to higher debt and interest rates in Brazilian real due to its appreciation against the euro, partly offset by debt maturities not refinanced in Europe. Thus, the effective cost of interest payments over the last 12 months stood at 3.95% as of Sep-22 (excluding lease interests: 3.94%).
Dividends received amounted to €497m in 9M 22 mainly from the VMO2 JV in the UK (€470m).
Tax payments grew 9.8% y-o-y in 9M 22, mainly due to higher tax payments in Brazil, partially offset by the deconsolidation of T. UK and higher tax refunds from previous years in Spain.
Dividends paid to minority shareholders grew 4.7% y-o-y in 9M 22 mainly due to higher dividends paid to minorities of T. Brasil.
Lease principal payments increased 11.9% y-o-y in 9M 22 primarily due to FX revaluation (mainly BRL) and higher ROU due to corporate operations.

- Net financial debt would have stood at €25.5bn as of September 2021 adjusted for Q4 21 Telxius transaction impacts
(1) In January-September 2022 includes mainly €1.1bn related with the acquisition of Oi's mobile assets, €0.3bn with BE-terna acquisition and €0.2bn with Incremental acquisition, net of €0.1bn from the sale of El Salvador. In January-September 2021 it was related mainly with the creation of VMO2 JV in the UK, the sale of Telxius towers and T. Costa Rica, the creation of fibre vehicles in Brazil and Chile, and partially offsetting the acquisition of Cancom UK&I.

Net financial debt stood at €28,918m as of Sep-22, increasing €101m in Q3 22, despite a positive free cash flow generation of €1,125m, due to net financial investments (€243m), shareholder remuneration (€258m, including coupon payments of capital instruments), labour-related commitment payments (€207m) and other net factors totaling €518m (mainly due to changes in the value of equity derivatives related to own shares and higher value in euros of net debt in foreign currencies).
In 9M 22, net financial debt increased by €2,886m despite a positive free cash flow generation of €2,474m. This was due to (i) net financial investments of €1,840m (mainly Oi’s mobile assets, BE-terna and Incremental acquisitions, net of the sale of El Salvador and the closing of Colombia's InfraCo transaction), ii) shareholder remuneration of €833m (including coupon payments of capital instruments), iii) labour-related commitment payments of €649m, and, iv) other net factors totaling €2,038m (mainly due to the higher value in euros of net debt in foreign currencies, highlighting the impact of the Brazilian real, spectrum renewal in Colombia in Q2 22 and the compensation of the judicial decision in Brazil).
Including the tax refund in Spain, net proceeds from the closing of Bluevia transaction (FibreCo in Spain), from the recovery of Telxius tax payments in advance, and including the acquisition of an additional stake in Telxius and the impact from the fibre assets acquisition by FibreCo Chile, net financial debt would decrease by €2.2bn from Sep-22 to €26.7bn.
Net financial debt including lease liabilities amounted to €38,081m as of Sep-22. In Q3 22, lease liabilities increased by €480m and €1,084m vs. Dec-21 mainly due to the net effect of ROU additions and principal payments and FX revaluation (mainly BRL).
Telefónica, has raised long term financing in 9M 22 by €9,984m, of which €7,584m correspond to re-financing of the Group’s debt (excluding commercial paper and short-term bank loans) while €1,740m equivalent correspond to a sustainable-linked term loan signed at VMO2, €599m equivalent correspond to new financing at Cornerstone and €61m to FiBrasil. Telefónica's financing activity allowed the Group to maintain a solid liquidity position of €22,108m and maintain long debt maturities with 2023-2026 gross debt maturities average at €2.9bn, 56% lower vs four-year average at Sep-16. Gross debt maturities amount to €3.0bn in 2023, €2.2bn in 2024, €4.3bn in 2025, €2.0bn in 2026 and €25.8bn in >2026. As of Sep-22, the Group has covered maturities over the next three years. The average debt life stood at 13.0 years.

Operating performance
T. España's results reflect a positive operating and financial performance in Q3 22. The value strategy and the superior quality of its assets allow the Company to compete from the best position and capture growth opportunities. These are around the demand for quality connectivity, the momentum of the European recovery funds and the growing ecosystem of home services in a complex macroeconomic environment.
Having signed a long-term agreement for a large part of renewable electricity supply a year ago, the Company has closed new PPA agreements in Q3 22 that further reduce its exposure to rising energy prices (securing a fixed price for more than 50% of the consumption of own sites in 2022 and more than 70% in 2023). T. España, with its Tech services (EcoSmart) also continues to drive the digital transformation of the different sectors of society and renews its commitment to energy efficiency.

Revenue grew for the 6th straight quarter (+0.2% y-o-y, +0.8% in 9M 22), reflecting the performance of handset revenue (+31.2% y-o-y, +63.6% in 9M 22) and service revenue (-0.9% y-o-y, -1.0% in 9M 22). The slower pace of growth vs. Q2 is due to the more homogeneous comparison of handset sales revenue ("Fusión con terminal" launched in April 21), and also to the lower "La Liga" content available in the wholesale offer since mid-August. Service revenue, excluding the effect of the new football model, showed another sequential improvement (-0.4% y-o-y in Q3 22, +0.2 p.p. vs. Q2 22) due to the improved performance of retail revenue, which was broadly stable y-o-y (-0.1%, +0.4 p.p. vs. Q2 22) and, in particular, of B2B revenue (communications and IT) and the new digital businesses.
OIBDA declined by 2.8% y-o-y in Q3 22. The q-o-q evolution improved by +0.6 p.p., mainly due to the deflation of the new "La Liga" cycle and lower y-o-y increase in energy costs, and other efficiencies such as those derived from the workforce restructuring plan (€46m of savings in Q3 22) and the transformation of our network. OIBDA margin stood at 36.9% in Q3 22 (-1.1 p.p. y-o-y) and 36.7% in 9M 22 (-1.7 p.p. y-o-y), also reflecting the higher weight of lower-margin revenue.
CapEx (+1.4% y-o-y in 9M 22, with higher growth in Q3 22 due to the different pace of investment vs. 2021) remains focused on FTTH and 5G deployment. OIBDA-CapEx declined 5.8% y-o-y compared to 9M 21, leaving the cash margin at 25.4% (-1.8 p.p. y-o-y).

Operating performance
Telefónica Deutschland continued its growth path in Q3 22, delivering another quarter of strong operational and financial momentum. In a rational yet dynamic market the company further expanded its mobile market share leveraging core business strength driven by network parity and ESG leadership.
In close cooperation with the German Federal Office for Civil Protection & Disaster Assistance (BBK), the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation and the logistics partner CTDI, the company donated a mix of new and refurbished hardware network components that can be used without restrictions for the expansion and repair of several thousand mobile sites in Ukraine. As part of its ESG agenda, T. Deutschland takes concrete measures to be net CO2 neutral along the entire value chain by 2040.

The contract mobile base continued its growth momentum in the quarter, to +965k contract net additions in 9M 22. The O2 brand’s appeal in the market resulted in strong gross add momentum of the O2 tariff portfolio whilst the contribution of partner brands continued to be solid. Churn rates in Q3 22 are reflecting the anticipated temporarily higher churn on the back of the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Still, postpaid churn in the O2 brand stood at low rates of 1.2% in Q3 22 vs. 1.0% in Q3 21 (1.1% in 9M 22, +0.1 p.p. y-o-y) leveraging network parity.
O2 contract ARPU was -1.3% y-o-y in Q3 22 (-0.7% in Q2) reflecting a combination of the accelerated MTR glidepath and some enhanced focus on customer loyalty including retention and bundle benefits while high value tariffs remained popular.
Prepaid accesses posted -58k net disconnections in Q3 22 (+370k in Q2 22; +213k net additions 9M 22), reflecting the German market trend of prepaid to postpaid migration and some seasonality including the reverse effect from revenue neutral SIM card reactivations in prior quarter.
Fixed broadband accesses showed good customer demand for T. Deutschland’s technology agnostic O2 my Home products, with cable as a main driver of +19k fixed BB net additions in Q3 22 (Q2 22: +5k; 9M 22: +14k). In addition, the 4G/5G based fixed-mobile substitution (FMS) offer remained popular.

Revenue grew by 6.0% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+5.8% in Q2 22; +5.7% y-o-y in 9M 22) driven by sustained mobile revenue momentum, a record third quarter for handset sales and despite the negative impact from the accelerated MTR glidepath. T.Deutschland’s mobile business grew 6.6% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+6.2% y-o-y in 9M). This reflects sustained revenue momentum on the back of the ongoing strong commercial traction of the O2 brand and a solid contribution from partners, more than compensating for the negative impact from the accelerated MTR glidepath. Handset sales registered a record third quarter with revenue up 18.9% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+18.6% y-o-y in 9M) on continued good customer demand and availability of devices at T. Deutschland while customers are increasingly opting for longer-term handset financing.
OIBDA grew 4.2% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+4.7% y-o-y in 9M) with continued own brand momentum driving improved operational leverage mainly in mobile, and further efficiency gains as well as some roaming support. OIBDA margin stood at 31.0% in Q3 22; -0.5 p.p. y-o-y (31.4% in 9M, -0.3 p.p. y-o-y) mainly due to the continued strong growth of the broadly margin neutral hardware revenue.
T. Deutschland continued to execute its ‘investment for growth’ programme in line with plans in its final year. CapEx was up +11.3% y-o-y in 9M 22, with CapEx/Sales of 14.9%, and Q3 22 of 16.6% representing peak investment in 2022. Both, network modernisation and the 5G network roll-out are making strong progress driven by roll-out efficiencies, resulting in the Company already over-achieved the year-end target as well as being on track to complete the swap of its core network to Ericsson technology.
As a result, OIBDA-CapEx was broadly stable (-0.6% y-o-y) in 9M 22 and OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue reached 16.4%, -1.0 p.p. y-o-y.

Continued delivery of synergies: On-track to achieve 30% of the annualised £540m run rate by the end of 2022

Operating performance
In the third quarter Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has made strong strategic and operational progress supporting delivery for the rest of the year and beyond. The Company has grown its mobile and fixed customer base, expanded its product offering and achieved further OIBDA growth, as well as reaffirming 2022 guidance.
The fixed footprint now reaches 16.0m premises passed, with 329k having been passed since the start of the year and the Company remains on-track to deliver over 500k new network in 2022.
In the current economic climate with a rising cost of living, VMO2 has stepped up through a range of targeted support measures delivering against the Better Connections Plan ESG strategy. For customers, further enhancements were made to its Essential Broadband tariff with a reduced price of £12.50 and the introduction of a new 50Mbps tier to help provide low-cost access to connectivity for those receiving Universal Credit. This is in addition to collaboration with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to implement a new tool which will automate eligibility checks, making it easier to access social broadband tariffs.

Financial performance
Revenue declined by -0.6% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+0.2% y-o-y in Q2; -0.2% y-o-y in 9M), with +2.1% y-o-y increase in mobile revenue (+1.7% y-o-y in 9M) supported by stronger service revenue growth being partially offset by a decline in handset revenue. Fixed revenue declined -4.2% y-o-y in Q3 22 (-3.1% y-o-y in 9M 22) as consumer base expansion was offset by lower subscription and B2B revenue as a result of a high level of installation revenue for high-capacity data services within wholesale in Q3 21.
OIBDA grew by 8.1% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+4.8% y-o-y in Q2; +5.1% y-o-y in 9M), supported by the realisation of synergies, cost efficiencies and a one-off release (+3.3 p.p.) following the resolution of a legal matter for which there is no impact on cash, which was partially offset by increased energy costs. OIBDA margin improved by +3.0 p.p. y-o-y in Q3 22 to 36.3% (36.8% in 9M 22).
CapEx increased by 7.1% y-o-y in 9M 22 as the Company continued to invest in its fixed and mobile infrastructure. As a result, in 9M 22, OIBDA-CapEx increased 3.0% y-o-y with OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue up +0.5 p.p y-o-y to 14.8%.

Notes:
- ARPU: monthly average revenue divided by the monthly average accesses of the period.
- Includes OI's mobile access since April 2022. In Sept 2022, ARPU and Churn are impacted by the disconnection of 3.0M inactive accesses acquired from OI (0.8M contract and 2.2M prepaid).

In mobile, Vivo maintains its leadership with a market share of 38% and 42% in contract. Contract net additions totalled 1.2m excluding Oi's accesses disconnections (+63% y-o-y; 3.2m in 9M 22). Churn of 1.2% in Q3 remains at very low levels, while portability with all operators remained positive. In Q3, 3.0m inactive accesses acquired from Oi were disconnected (0.8m postpaid and 2.2m prepaid) with no revenue impact.
In fixed, FTTH connections accelerated in Q3 22 with 229k net adds and 669k in 9M 22. FTTH uptake remained at 24% despite the acceleration in fibre deployment (mainly due to Vivo’s and FiBrasil’s expansion).

Revenue grew by +10.6% y-o-y in Q3 22 and +29.0% in reported terms (+8.8% and 27.4% in 9M 22) thanks to the growth in contract accesses, the progressive update of tariffs, the contribution from Oi's acquired accesses and by increasing contribution from fibre.
OIBDA rose 12.3% in Q3 22 and 16.7% in reported terms (+7.5% and +16.2% in 9M) despite inflationary headwinds and higher commercial expenses, which were offset by efficiencies from digital channels.

Key Messages
T. Infra manages a portfolio of FTTH vehicles, data centres and submarine cable investments
Leading portfolio of FibreCos that bring green connectivity to underserved areas, strengthened by two new InfraCos: Bluevia in Spain and and a JV with Infravia in the UK.
Continuing crystallising value, while enabling further growth via alternative investment models

Operating performance
Unique portfolio of best-in-class FibreCos both in Europe (in Germany, and once the transactions are closed, also in Spain and the UK) and in Latam (Brazil, Chile and Colombia) with an aggregated target of >25m premises passed by 2026, from the current 12m4 deployed to Sep-22. Additionally, the portfolio includes Telxius (high valuable subsea cable asset), and Nabiax (14 data centres in Spain and Latam).
In Brazil, FiBrasil (CDPQ 50%, T. Infra 25% and T. Brasil 25%) has enhanced its commercial position, announcing wholesale agreements with Sky Brasil and Vero in Q3 22.
In Germany, Unsere Grüne Glasfaser (UGG) (Allianz 50%, T. Infra 40% and T. Deutschland 10%) started as a fully greenfield operation and has already launched operations in eight federal states (“Länder”). The Company is currently gaining momentum, having signed MoUs to deploy 550k premises and one additional wholesale agreement with a regional ISP, on top of the previously signed (one national and two regional).
In Spain, Bluevia (Vauban/CAA consortium 45%, T. Infra 25% and T Spain 30%), which in the process of obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals (expected by year-end), is a wholesale FTTH provider focusing in rural areas. Bluevia will increase its fibre coverage in the next two years to reach 5m premises passed.
In UK, the recently created joint venture (InfraVia Capital Partners 50%, T. infra 25% and Liberty Global 25%), is pending regulatory and competition approvals (expected by year-end), will construct and operate a wholesale FTTH broadband network of 5m homes not currently served by VMO2’s network by 2026, with the opportunity to expand to an additional c.2 million homes, thereby accelerating the UK’s FTTH deployment with an investment of approximately £4.5bn
OnNet Fibra Chile (KKR 60% and T. Chile 40%) and OnNet Fibra Colombia (KKR 60% and T. Colombia 40%) are the largest neutral wholesale FTTH providers in their respective countries. Thanks to their accelerated rates of deployment, both InfraCos have become market leaders, in this regard OnNet Chile has recently announced the purchase of Entel’s fibre network and secured a long-term agreement whereby Entel will become a wholesale tenant.
Nabiax (Asterion Industrial Partners 80% and T. Infra 20%) is operating 14 data centres in seven countries (Spain, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, U.S., and Mexico) with a combined IT power of 48 MW. Nabiax has fulfilled the three ESG indicators, two environmental (carbon emissions and water treatment) and one social (gender equality) associated with the €320m sustainable “project finance” funding received one year ago.
In early 2023 Telxius is expected to receive the regulatory and competition approvals for Telefónica to increase its stake to 70% of this critical infrastructure. In Q3 22, it maintained its strong commercial momentum, showing an organic revenue growth of +4.9% y-o-y (+18.6% y-o-y reported), which together with continuous cost management and collection of overdue debt, fuelled y-o-y OIBDA growth in the quarter (+28.9% organic and +47.9% reported). In 9M 22 period, revenue grew by +1.1% y-o-y (+10.9% reported) and OIBDA5 +13.6% y-o-y (+26.3% reported). In addition, bandwidth (Gbps) provisioned for capacity services grew by +46% y-o-y in 9M 22 and the value of contracts signed with third parties increased by +17% y-o-y in the same period, as result of the incremental demand from hyperscalers and relevant carriers.
Telxius' traffic increased by +16% y-o-y in Q3 22 (+7 p.p. vs Q2 22; +2 p.p. vs Q3 21) despite the huge increase already seen on previous years associated with the pandemic.

Chile: Revenue grew by 2.1% y-o-y in Q3 22, supported by contract growth (gross adds set a new historical record in the quarter) and FTTH connections enabling the Company to consolidate its leadership in broadband. OIBDA (-6.7% y-o-y) was impacted by commercial growth and higher network expenses. The Company was recognised by Ookla as the fastest mobile internet network in the country.
Perú: Despite the slowdown in economic growth, Q3 22 OIBDA grew double digits y-o-y (+24.6%) thanks to reduction of employees, shutdown of legacy technology, renegotiation with suppliers and progressive tariff increases. The Company continues to make progress in its goal of reducing the digital divide in rural areas, and so "Internet for All" has already connected more than 15k towns, giving internet access to close to 2.9m people.
Colombia: Revenue grew by 20.5% y-o-y in Q3 22 mainly due to the growth in contract and FTTH accesses, the sale of premises deployed by the InfraCo and the increase in handset sales. OIBDA grew by 3.7% y-o-y in Q3 22 despite growing commercial expenses, the impact of inflation and the peso devaluation. T. Colombia won the Andesco Sustainability Award in the Inclusion special category.
México: Revenue grew by +5.2% y-o-y in Q3 22, driven by contract and handset sales. OIBDA declined by 24.7% due to higher costs from AT&T after migrating all traffic to their network (part of the savings from the migration to AT&T's network are reflected in CapEx). 9M 22 OIBDA-CapEx was up 3.9%. The Company continued to dismantle the access network (42% already dismantled). T. Mexico reached an alliance with the ICMEC (International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children) and the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) to train and strengthen the prevention, attention and investigation of abuse and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents online.
Argentina: Commercial activity, mainly FTTH, IPTV and contract, accelerated during the quarter. Revenue increased by +39.1% vs. Q3 21 in local currency due to higher accesses and continued tariff upgrades. OIBDA grew by +29.2%. Movistar continues to make progress in its aim to bridge the digital divide amongst people with disabilities by launching an app that guarantees the best possible service for people with hearing, speech, intellectual or low vision impairments.

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/5/2022/09/rdos22t3-data.zip.
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.
33

informestrimword_3ene-sepx.jpg
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.
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 June 2022 can be found on page 31 of this document and in the financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/09/rdos22t3-data.zip.
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/5/2022/09/rdos22t3-data.zip.
34

informestrimword_3ene-sepx.jpg
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/5/2022/09/rdos22t3-data.zip.
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.
Assumes average constant foreign exchange rates of 2021. Nevertheless, the reported variation of the companies of the countries with hyperinflationary economies (Argentina and Venezuela) is excluded.
Considers a constant perimeter of consolidation.
At OIBDA and OIBDA-CapEx levels, does not include capital gains/losses from the sale of companies, for significant impacts, write-offs, material non-recurring impacts and restructuring costs.
CapEx also excludes investment in spectrum.

informestrimword_3ene-sepx.jpg
Reconciliation between reported data and organic revenue figures, OIBDA and OIBDA-CapEx can be found in the selected financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/09/rdos22t3-data.zip.
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.
Reconciliation between reported data and OIBDA underlying figures and net income can be found on the selected financial information contained on https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/09/rdos22t3-data.zip.
