Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-months ended June 30, 2022

Note 1. Background and general information
Telefónica, S.A. and its subsidiaries and investees (hereinafter “Telefónica”, “the Company”, the “Telefónica Group” or "the Group”) make up an integrated and diversified telecommunications group operating mainly in Europe and Latin America. The Group’s activity is centered around services of wireline and wireless telephony, broadband, internet, data traffic, Pay TV and other digital services.
The parent company of the Group is Telefónica, S.A., a public limited company incorporated on April 19, 1924 for an indefinite period. Its registered office is at calle Gran Vía 28, Madrid (Spain).
As a multinational telecommunications company which operates in regulated markets, the Group is subject to different laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates, pursuant to which permits, concessions or licenses must be obtained in certain circumstances to provide the various services.
In addition, certain wireline and wireless telephony services are provided under regulated rate and price systems.




Note 2. Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 (hereinafter, the “interim financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and Article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007, of October 19. Therefore, they do not contain all the information and disclosures required in complete annual consolidated financial statements and, for adequate interpretation, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements (Consolidated annual accounts) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The accompanying interim financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors at its meeting of July 27, 2022.
The figures in these interim financial statements are expressed in millions of euros, unless otherwise indicated, and may therefore be rounded.
Comparison of information
Comparisons in the accompanying interim financial statements refer to the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, except in the consolidated
statement of financial position, which compares information at June 30, 2022 and at December 31, 2021.
The main changes in the consolidation scope are described in Appendix I.
With respect to seasonality, the historical performance of consolidated results does not indicate that the operations of the Group, taken as a whole, are subject to significant variations between the first and second halves of the year.
Agreement between Telefónica and Liberty Global plc to combine their operating businesses in the UK
On May 7, 2020, Telefónica reached an agreement with Liberty Global plc to combine into a 50-50 joint venture their operating businesses in the UK (O2 Holdings Ltd. and Virgin Media UK, respectively). On June 1, 2021 after obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals, consummation of the necessary recapitalisations and satisfaction of other closing conditions, the closing of the transaction was carried out, resulting in the combination of both businesses into the joint venture called VMED O2 UK Ltd. (VMO2).
Telefonica United Kingdom, which was fully consolidated within the Group, was excluded from the






Telefónica, S.A. 10

Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 2022
image.jpg
scope of consolidation from June 1, 2021 (see Note 4). From that date, VMO2 is registered under the equity method (see notes 4 and 9).
The constitution of the joint venture provided Telefónica with 5,439 million pounds sterling of funds in the first half of 2021 (equivalent to 6,307 million euros at the transaction day), of which 2,686 million pounds corresponded to the cash payment to Telefónica to equalise ownership in the joint venture (before post-completion adjustments in the second half of 2021) and 2,754 million pounds corresponded to proceeds from recapitalisation.
As a consequence of this transaction, the Group recognized a gain amounting to 4,434 million euros in “Other income” (see Note 23) of the consolidated income statement for the first half of 2021.
In addition, in the first half of 2021 the accumulated actuarial losses of Telefonica United Kingdom amounting to 392 million euros were reclassified to retained earnings, with no effect in equity.
Agreement between Telxius Telecom and American Tower Corporation for the sale of its telecommunications towers divisions in Europe and Latin America
On January 13, 2021 Telxius Telecom, S.A. (a company of the Telefónica Group minority-owned, directly or indirectly, by KKR and Pontegadea), signed an agreement with American Tower Corporation ("ATC") for the sale of its telecommunications towers divisions in Europe (Spain and Germany) and in Latin America (Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina).
The agreement established the sale of approximately 30,722 telecommunication tower sites and comprised two separate and independent transactions (on one hand, the Europe business and, on the other hand, the Latin American business). The agreement included the transfer to ATC of the towers that Telxius agreed to acquire from Telefónica Germany GmbH & Co. under the agreement signed on June 8, 2020, both the towers acquired in the first phase on September 1, 2020 as well as the towers that were acquired in the second phase in August 2021 (4,080 sites sold to ATC in the second half of 2021).
The closing of the transactions took place in June 2021 following regulatory approvals.
These transactions generated a gain of 5,761 million euros registered in "Other income" (see Note 23) of the consolidated income statement for the first half of 2021. The result of this transaction attributed to non-controlling interests of Telxius amounted to 2,166 million euros (see Note 11).
Acquisition of mobile assets of Oi Group
On April 20, 2022, the closing of the transaction related to the Purchase Agreement for Acquisition of Unidade Produtiva Isolada (UPI) Mobile Assets of Oi Group took place, and Telefónica Brasil acquired, on such date, all the shares of the company Garliava RJ Infraestrutura e Redes de Telecomunicações S.A. (Garliava), to which the mobile assets of Oi Group assigned to Telefónica Brasil had been contributed, in accordance with the segregation plan stated in the Oi Agreement (see Note 26).
Telefónica Brasil thus acquired its share of mobile assets of the Oi Group for an approximate amount of 5,373 million Brazilian reais, having paid, on such day, the amount of 4,885 million Brazilian reais. The remaining amount, equivalent to 10% of the payment made on that date, is withheld subject to certain price adjustments and potential indemnification obligations contained in the Oi Agreement. The total consideration also includes 110 million Brazilian reais subject to the fulfilment of certain targets. Thus, the total consideration transferred amounted to 5,483 million Brazilian reais (1,091 million euros at the date of the closing of the transaction).
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase price allocation is provisional. The fair value assigned to Oi's licenses amounts to 506 million euros. The preliminary goodwill amounts to 696 million euros (see Note 5).

Alternative measures not defined in IFRS
The Management of the Group uses a series of measures in its decision-making, in addition to those expressly defined in the IFRS, because they provide additional information useful to assess the Group’s performance, solvency and liquidity. These measures should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for the measures presented according to the IFRS.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA)
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) is calculated by excluding solely depreciation and amortization from operating income. OIBDA is used to track the performance of the business and to establish operating and strategic targets of the 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 management uses the measure OIBDA margin, which is the result of dividing the OIBDA by the revenues.
After the implementation of IFRS 16 Leases in 2019, most of the lease expenses that affected OIBDA until 2018 affect instead depreciation and amortization and net financial expenses, resulting in higher reported OIBDA under IFRS 16, which is therefore not directly comparable with OIBDA for the years before 2019.
The following table presents the reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income for the Telefónica Group for the six-months periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

OIBDA-CapEx and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions
OIBDA-CapEx is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, reduced by accrued capital expenditures, and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, reduced by accrued capital expenditures excluding those related to spectrum acquisitions.
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 businesses of the Group and in our internal budgeting process.
Neither OIBDA-CapEx nor OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions are measures 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 substitutes for operating income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, or any measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Furthermore, the Group management uses the measures OIBDA-CapEx margin and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions margin, which is the result of dividing these measures by the revenues.
In the table below we provide a reconciliation of our OIBDA-CapEx and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions to operating income for the periods indicated:

Debt indicators
As calculated by us, net financial debt includes:
(A) adding the following liabilities:
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 liabilities 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 held for sale".
(B) subtracting the following amounts from the resulting amount of the preceding step:
i. cash and cash equivalents,
ii. other current financial assets (which include short-term derivatives),
iii. cash and other financial assets included in "Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale",
iv. the positive mark-to-market value of derivatives with a maturity beyond one year,
v. other interest-bearing assets (included in "Financial assets and other non-current assets", "Receivables and other current assets" and "Tax receivables" in our consolidated statement of financial position), and
vi. mark-to-market adjustment by cash flow hedging activities related to debt.
With respect to step (B)(v), "Financial assets and other non-current assets" includes derivatives, installments for the long-term sales of terminals to customers and other long-term financial assets, and "Receivables and other current assets" includes the customer financing of terminal sales classified as short-term.
The indicator net financial debt plus leases is calculated by adding lease liabilities calculated under IFRS 16 (including those corresponding to companies held for sale) to net financial debt and deducting assets from subleases.
We calculate net financial debt plus commitments by adding gross commitments related to employee benefits to net financial debt and deducting the value of long-term assets associated with those






Telefónica, S.A. 13

commitments related to employee benefits and the tax benefits arising from the future payments of those commitments related to employee benefits. 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.
We believe that net financial debt, net financial debt plus leases, net financial debt plus commitments and net financial debt plus leases plus commitments are meaningful for investors and analysts because they provide an analysis of our solvency using the same measures used by our management. We use them to
calculate internally certain solvency and leverage ratios. Nevertheless, none of them as calculated by us should be considered as a substitute for gross financial debt as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net financial debt, net financial debt plus leases, net financial debt plus commitments and net financial debt plus leases plus commitments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 to the Telefónica Group’s gross financial debt as indicated in the consolidated statement of financial position:

As explained above, Telefonica United Kingdom, which was fully consolidated within the Group, is excluded from the scope of consolidation from June 1, 2021. From that date, VMED O2 UK Ltd is registered under the equity method. As a consequence, the net financial debt of VMED O2 UK Ltd is not consolidated in the Group's net financial debt. Note 9 to these financial statements provides a breakdown of the main items in the statement of financial position of VMED O2 UK Ltd as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 on investments)/Proceeds from the sale of investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net, adding the cash received from government grants and deducting dividends paid to non-controlling 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.
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 our management. Nevertheless, free cash flow as calculated by us should not be considered as a substitute for the various flows of cash as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following table presents the reconciliation between Telefónica Group’s Net cash flow provided by operating activities as indicated in the consolidated statement of cash flows (see Note 25) and the free cash flow for the six-months periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Note 3. Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the following new standards and amendments to standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the EU for use in Europe, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
The application of these amendments for the current reporting period did not have a significant impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amendments.
Onerous Contracts: Costs of Fulfilling a Contract - Amendments to IAS 37
The amendments to IAS 37 clarify that when assessing whether a contract is onerous, an entity needs to include all unavoidable costs that relate directly to a contract, including both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to fulfilling contract activities. The Group applied the amendments to the contracts for which it had not fulfilled all of its obligations at the beginning of the reporting period.
Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3
Minor amendments were made to update the references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and to add an exception to the recognition principle in IFRS 3 Business Combinations regarding liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Interpretation 21 Levies. The exception requires entities to apply the criteria in IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to determine whether a present obligation exists at the acquisition date. The amendments to IFRS 3 also clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16
The amendment prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds of the sale of items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use (including while assessing technical and physical performance of the asset). Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020
As part of the annual improvements finalised in May 2020, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was amended to clarify which fees should an entity include when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf.

New standards and amendments to standards issued but not effective as of June 30, 2022
At the date of preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, the following IFRSs and amendments had been published by the IASB, but their application was not mandatory:
Standards and amendmentsMandatory application: annual periods beginning on or after
Amendments to IAS 1Classification of Liabilities as Current and Non-Current1 January 2023
IFRS 17Insurance Contracts1 January 2023
Amendments to IAS 1Disclosure of Accounting Policies1 January 2023
Amendments to IAS 8Definition of Accounting Estimates1 January 2023
Amendments to IAS 12Deferred Taxes related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction1 January 2023
Based on the analyses conducted to date, the Group estimates that the adoption of these new pronouncements will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements in the initial period of application, although the Group is currently assessing whether there are any contracts that meet the definition of insurance contracts and therefore could be affected by the future adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.

Note 4. Segment information
In 2022 the Telefónica Group is reporting financial information, both internally and externally, according to the following segments: Telefónica Spain, VMO2 (accounted for under the equity method), Telefónica Germany, Telefónica Brazil and Telefónica Hispam (formed by the Group's operators in Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay).
During 2021, the Telefónica Group changed its reporting segments as follows:
(i) On June 1, 2021, upon the establishment of the 50:50 joint venture with Liberty Global (whose results are accounted for under the equity method), the former Telefónica United Kingdom segment was replaced by the VMO2 segment (see notes 2 and 9). The results of the first half of 2021 include the consolidation of Telefónica United Kingdom from January 1 to June 1, and the equity accounting of 50% of the net result of VMO2 from June 1 to June 30 (see Note 9). The gain registered on the establishment of the VMED O2 UK Ltd, amounting to 4,434 million euros (see notes 2 and 23), are recorded in "Other companies".
(ii) The Telxius Group ceased to be a reporting segment in 2021 as a result of the sale of the telecommunications towers divisions in Europe and Latin America (see Note 2). The Telxius Group’s results are included in "Other companies" as well as the gain obtained for the sale of the telecommunications towers divisions, amounting to 5,761 million euros (see notes 2 and 23).
The segments referred to above include the information related to the fixed, wireless, cable, data, internet and television businesses and other digital services provided in each country. Inter-segment transactions are carried out at market prices.
Information relating to other Group companies not specifically included in these segments is reported under "Other companies", which includes Telefónica, S.A. and other holding companies, as well as companies whose main purpose is to provide cross-sectional services to Group companies and other operations not included in the segments. The Incremental and BE-Terna groups, acquired by Telefónica Tech in the first half of 2022 (see Note 5), are reported within "Other companies".

The Group centrally manages borrowing activities, mainly through Telefónica, S.A. and other companies included in "Other companies", so most of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are reported under "Other
companies". In addition, Telefónica, S.A. is the head of the Telefónica tax group in Spain. Therefore, a significant part of the deferred tax assets and liabilities is included under "Other companies". For these reasons, the results of the segments are disclosed up to operating income.
Revenues and expenses arising from intra-group invoicing for the use of the trademark and management services were eliminated from the operating results of each Group segment. The results of the holding companies also exclude dividends from Group companies and impairments of investments in Group companies. These adjustments have no impact on the Group’s consolidated results. In addition, segment reporting considers the impact of the purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by the companies included in each segment. The assets and liabilities presented in each segment are those managed by the heads of each segment, regardless of their legal structure.

Note 5. Business combinations
Acquisition of mobile assets of Oi Group
On April 20, 2022, the closing of the transaction related to the Purchase Agreement for Acquisition of UPI Mobile Assets of Oi Group took place, and Telefónica Brasil acquired, on such date, all the shares of the company Garliava RJ Infraestrutura e Redes de Telecomunicações S.A. (Garliava), to which the mobile assets of Oi Group assigned to Telefónica Brasil had been contributed, in accordance with the segregation plan stated in the Oi Agreement (see Note 26).
The mobile assets of Oi Group finally assigned to Telefónica Brasil were the following:
Customers: approximately 12.5 million (equivalent to 30% of the total customer base of the mobile assets of Oi Group) – according to ANATEL’s February 2022 data;
Spectrum: 43MHz as national population-weighted average (46% of the radiofrequency of the mobile assets of Oi Group); and
Infrastructure: contracts for the use of approximately 2.7 thousand sites of mobile access (corresponding to 19% of the sites of the mobile assets of Oi Group).
This transaction brings benefits to the Brazilian telecommunications sector, expanding the capacity to make investments and create technological innovations in a sustainable and rational manner, contributing to the digitalization of the country through the construction and expansion of networks in cutting-edge technologies, such as 5G and fiber, which translates into services with better coverage and quality to users. In addition, the transaction has the potential to generate synergies for the Company, through the optimization of operating costs and efficient allocation of investments due to the integration of the incorporated assets.
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase price allocation is provisional. The following table presents the consideration, the fair value of assets and liabilities identified at the acquisition date and the preliminary goodwill (which once the adjustment and review process is completed could be used for tax purposes):

The fair value of the licenses has been determined using the discounted cash flow method of the Income Approach, which considers the earning capacity of the asset. The amortization period of the licenses ranges from 5 to 15 years (average period of 10.04 years).
The fair value of trade receivables amounts to 79 million euros, which does not differ from the book value consisting of a gross amount of 81 million euros, net of estimated impairment losses of 2 million euros.
At the acquisition date, contingent liabilities have been recognized at fair value in the amount of 90 million euros.
The contribution of Garliava since its inclusion in the scope of consolidation and until June 30, 2022 was 68 million euros in revenues and 3 million euros in profit for the period.
