TABLE OF CONTENTS

The financial information related to January-December 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.

Commenting on the results, José María Álvarez-Pallete, Chairman and CEO of Telefónica, said:
"In Q4 we accelerated organic revenue and OIBDA growth supported by strong commercial momentum together with cost and CapEx efficiencies. FCF increased by more than 77% and net financial debt declined to €26.7bn.
We delivered on all our financial targets for 2022, which we upgraded at the first half results, and not only continued to report organic growth but now also started growing in euro terms. In a very challenging year, we demonstrated our resilience and ability to mitigate adverse macro developments. We executed our strategy to build a stronger, future proof Telefónica and focused our investments on next generation networks, while maintaining a disciplined capital allocation framework. This allowed us to generate a robust FCF, which not only well covered our dividend but also allowed us to reduce leverage while maintaining high liquidity on our balance sheet. At the same time, we embraced the industry wide transformation and actively support the transition to a fairer regulatory environment.
Looking ahead into 2023 we are excited about the undergoing transformation of our company and feel well positioned to continue on our profitable growth path. We will remain disciplined on capital allocation and prioritise our investments into differentiated connectivity projects. Meanwhile, we continue to build on our solid sustainability record and contribute over €95bn annually in positive impact towards the SDGs".

Improving customer base mix
The Group’s accesses base reached 383.1m in Dec-22, +4% y-o-y, with FTTH +17% and mobile contract +8%.

Enhanced infrastructure and IT
We maintain our accelerated FTTH deployment across our footprint and continue with the dismantling of all copper facilities by 2025 in Spain. This is further supported by our first analysis on the benefit of the life cycle of our connectivity solutions, based on the European Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities for the ICT sector, indicating that in the fixed network the environmental impact per PB is 18x lower in FTTH vs copper and in the mobile network is 7x lower in 5G vs 4G. This is due to our energy efficiency, design of technologies and investments in renewable energies, among others.
We deploy greener technology, as FTTH is 85% more efficient in energy consumption than copper and 5G is 90% more energy efficient than 4G per unit of traffic.

informestrimword_4ene-dicx.jpg
We are a technological leader in fibre, the optimal carrier for the next fifty years, and continue to hold the global lead (ex-China) in total UBB PPs with 168.1m as of Dec-22, +5% y-o-y. FTTH PPs increased +16% y-o-y to 64.5m PPs. Fibre vehicles allow to expand our footprint while optimising CapEx and returns with a greener technology.
5G is available in our core markets. 5G SA was launched in Brazil and it will be launched in UK, Germany, and Spain during 2023. 5G roll-out is in line with market demand. 5G coverage: >1,600 towns and cities in UK, >80% population in Germany, 85% in Spain and 39 cities in Brazil. LTE: 90% pop. (99% in Europe and 87% in Latam), up 3 p.p. y-o-y.
We are upgrading our fibre network (XGS-PON ready). The transition from 1Gbps to 50Gbps could be made with minimal CapEx and would result in new capabilities, services, and backhaul and optimisation for 5G networks.
In the Open Broadband project, tests progressed during 2022 and commercial rollout is expected for 2023 in Brazil. In parallel, 49.8m CPEs have been manufactured under the Telefónica’s Device Development Center. We have reached 12m HGUs deployed (for 95% of our FTTH customers), and started the deployment of the evolution of these HGUs incorporating WiFi6 functionalities (25% more coverage, x3.5 speed, 40% more capacity for simultaneous devices). On the other hand, with OPA-H (Open Access for Home) we work to build a differential value proposition via our CPE and APIs with new services own and from third parties.
Virtualisation and softwarisation, the telco cloud paradigm, Open RAN architectures in mobile networks, Open Broadband in fixed networks and the evolution of Systems are key for the new digital reality. Cloud environments enable on-demand Virtual Network Functions (VNF) and Software Define Networks (SDN) can dynamically change the network topology according to the load and service requirements further increasing the flexibility of 5G networks. Open RAN virtualisation drives a simpler and more automated IT mobile architecture. We have a strategic advantage in the Multi Edge Computing ecosystem which leverages on key partnerships (Microsoft and Google), commercial solutions, and our ability to equip Central Offices (COs) with Edge platforms and 5G. 83% of Telefonica's processes are digitalised (+3 p.p. y-o-y).
Thus, we are working to make Network Slicing commercially available. The first step will be static slicing during 2023 and later we will continue with dynamic slicing. A key project to leverage our networks is NaaS. We are working 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/Web3 or private networks as a service, and to enhance their end-user application experience.
To stabilise electricity consumption, costs and CO2 emissions, we implement efficiency projects in line with our commitment to fighting climate change. 100% of electricity used across core markets is renewable, as well as in Perú and Chile. In 2022, we introduced renewable energy in some Hispam markets (Argentina and Ecuador) and progressed in Distributed Generation in Brazil (installing 48 power plants of a total 85 planned) that will allow to generate > 700GWh renewable energy per year.
We are reducing energy consumption, with legacy switch off or reducing RAN consumption among initiatives. Since 2015, consumption (electricity + fuel) was reduced 7.2% while traffic managed by our networks increased >7.4x. In Spain, 788 COs were closed in FY 22 (2,236 since 2014), with copper migration targeted for 2024. Hispam progressed in multi-layer and 2G switch-off. Our network transformation helps to 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 core 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” (€209m in January-December 2022 and €253m in January-December 2021), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

In Q4, FX movements (excluding countries with hyperinflationary economies, Argentina and Venezuela) were supportive y-o-y mainly on the appreciation of the Brazilian real vs. the euro. Thus, the FX impact on revenue was +€487m and +€190m in OIBDA (+€1,748m and +€660m, respectively, in FY 22; including 50% VMO2 results +€1,799m and +€679m). On net debt, FX had a negative impact of €0.8bn, or €1.1bn at net debt plus leases in FY 22. The contribution to y-o-y growth from hyperinflationary countries amounted to -€353m in revenue and -€70m in OIBDA in Q4 (vs +€27m and -€13m in FY 22), mainly due to T. Argentina on the peso depreciation (c. -30% in Q4 22). Impacts from changes to the perimeter remained limited in Q4 22 (-€30m on revenue and -€17m on OIBDA; -€2,785m and -€1,000m in FY 22).
Revenue grew 5.4% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+1.8% y-o-y in FY 22). The sequential y-o-y deceleration (+11.2% in Q3) was mainly due to the effect of T. Argentina (-€352m in Q4 22; +€139m in Q3). In organic terms, revenue increased 3.9% y-o-y in Q4 (+4.0% in FY 22), service revenue grew 4.1% y-o-y and handset sales +2.4% (+3.2% and +10.7% respectively in FY 22).
The weight of revenue from broadband connectivity and services beyond connectivity increased by 2.3 p.p. y-o-y to 73% of total service revenue in reported terms, while share of voice and access decreased by 1.6 p.p. to 27% in FY 22.
B2B revenue continued to improve to +7.9% y-o-y organic growth in Q4 22 (+5.3% y-o-y in FY 22 to €8.6bn). Growth accelerated by 1.4 p.p. q-o-q mainly due to a better performance across most business units and particularly by the higher revenue increase in the Corporate segment.

informestrimword_4ene-dicx.jpg
Other income amounted to €538m in Q4 22 (€2,065m in FY 22), including the capital gain from the closing of the Fibreco in UK (+€20m), offset by a -€21m adjustment in the capital gain of the InfraCo in Colombia (€0.2bn booked in Q1 22). 2021 figures (€654m in Q4 21 and €12,673m in FY 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.
Operating expenses decreased 13.7% y-o-y in Q4 22 mainly affected by €1.5bn restructuring costs in Q4 21 (vs. €83m in Q4 22 in Spain, Germany, Hispam and 'Other companies & eliminations'). In organic terms, OpEx increased 3.0% y-o-y in Q4 mainly due to higher supply and personnel costs, partially offset by lower other operating expenses. OpEx was down -1.4% y-o-y in FY 22 (+5.1% y-o-y in organic terms).
Impairments and losses on disposal of assets amounted to €81m in Q4 22 and €124m in FY 22, mainly related to an impairment in Argentina of €77m (€396m in Q4 21 and €467m in FY 21, primarily associated to an impairment in Peru).
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA) increased 139.2% y-o-y in Q4 22 affected by the above mentioned impacts (restructuring, impairments, capital gains, FX and T. Argentina effect). OIBDA was up +3.5% y-o-y in organic and +6.0% in underlying terms. In FY 22, OIBDA was -41.5% y-o-y, +3.0% organic and -0.6% underlying.
OIBDA margin in organic terms was stable, -0.1 p.p. y-o-y to 33.4% in Q4 22 (-0.3 p.p. y-o-y to 32.9% in FY 22).
Depreciation and amortisation was up +1.1% y-o-y in Q4 22 mainly due to FX impacts, down -2.7% y-o-y in organic terms. In FY 22, it was up +4.8% y-o-y (-1.3% y-o-y organic).
Share of profit of investments accounted for by the equity method amounted to -€263m in Q4 22 and +€217m in FY 22, primarily including VMO2's results mainly affected by the change in fair value of derivatives (-€232m in Q4 and +€515m in FY 22, net of taxes).
Net financial income amounted to a positive €80m in Q4 22 (-€426m in Q4 21) positively impacted by interests from the tax refund in Spain (+€526m, pre-tax). In FY 22 net financial expenses amounted to €1,313m (€1,364m in FY 21).
Corporate tax expenses totalled €326m in Q4 22 and €641m in FY 22, mainly affected by the increase in the Peruvian tax provision and the fiscal effect from the tax refund’s interests.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests was down -29.1% y-o-y in Q4 22 mainly due to lower profit from minority interests of T. Brasil and T. Colombia, partially offset by higher profit from minority interests of T. Deutschland. FY 22 y-o-y variation (-88.0%) was affected by the sale of Telxius towers in 2021.
Profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company amounted to €525m in Q4 22 with earnings per share of €0.08 (-€1,198m and -€0.22 in Q4 21). In underlying terms, net income totalled €757m (+65.0% y-o-y) with EPS of €0.12 (+76.0% y-o-y) after excluding -€58m of restructuring, +€11m of capital gains and -€186m of other impacts. In FY 22, net income amounted to €2,011m and EPS to €0.31, in underlying terms to €2,101m (-18.2% y-o-y) and EPS to €0.33 (-18.7% y-o-y), after excluding -€120m of restructuring, +€70m of capital gains and -€40m of other impacts.

= Free Cash Flow per share (Euros)0.80 0.45 76.2 
- 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 €135m in January-December 2022 (mainly €108m in Germany and €20m in Hispam). In January-December 2021 totalled €1,107m (mainly €521m in the UK, €343m in Spain, €135m in Hispam and €108m in Germany).
(1) In January-December 2022 it was associated mainly with Colombia's InfraCo capital gain (€0.2bn), an impairment in T. Argentina (€77m) and commitments associated with long-term restructuring plans of €72m (mainly €57m in Spain and €14m in Hispam). In January-December 2021 it was associated mainly to €11.0bn of 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, €1.5bn of commitments associated with long-term restructuring plans mainly in Spain and €393m associated with an impairment in Peru.

Free cash flow amounted to €2,093m in Q4 22, vs €1,177m in Q4 21. In FY 22, free cash flow amounted to €4,566m, vs €2,648m in FY 21, mainly reflecting a higher y-o-y organic OIBDA-CapEx (+1.8%), a €1.3bn tax refund (pre-tax) in Spain in Q4 22, higher dividends received (mainly VMO2) and higher spectrum paid in 2021.
OIBDA-CapEx increased by +4.7% y-o-y in Q4 22 and +1.8% y-o-y in FY 22 in organic terms.
CapEx declined 24.2% y-o-y in Q4 22 and -19.9% y-o-y in FY 22, mainly reflecting spectrum acquisitions in 2021 and changes in the perimeter derived from 2021 corporate transactions. In organic terms, CapEx increased +2.4% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+4.6% y-o-y in FY 22) affected by a different CapEx execution. CapEx/Revenue stood at 14.8% organic in FY 22.
Working capital generation amounted to €387m in FY 22, mainly impacted by the application of the court ruling in Brazil and recurrent seasonal effects, such as CapEx. Compared to FY 21, working capital was €624m lower, affected by accrued and financed spectrum in 2021, impacts from changes in the perimeter and CapEx seasonality, partially offset application of the court ruling in Brazil.
Interest payments decreased by 18.6% y-o-y in FY 22 impacted by interests from the tax refund in Spain (+€526m, pre-tax). Excluding this, interest payments would have grown 16.0% y-o-y on higher debt and interest rates in Brazilian reals and the appreciation of this currency against the euro, partly offset by a debt reduction in European currencies. Effective cost of interest payments over the last 12 months (excluding extraordinaries, mainly the tax refund) stood at 3.86% as of Dec-22 (3.76% ex lease interests).
Dividends received amounted to €944m in FY 22 mainly from VMO2 in the UK (€909m).
Tax payments amounted to €92m in FY 22 (€459m in FY 21) positively impacted by the tax refund in Spain (€790m). Excluding this effect, tax payments would have been above y-o-y mainly due to higher payments in advance in Spain and Brazil in 2022.
Dividends paid to minority shareholders grew 7.1% y-o-y in FY 22 mainly due to higher dividends paid to minorities of T. Brasil, partially offset by dividends paid to minorities of Telxius in 2021 not repeated in 2022.
Lease principal payments increased 12.0% y-o-y in FY 22 primarily affected by FX revaluation (mainly BRL) and higher ROU due to corporate operations.

(1) Net financial debt definition has been modified in Dec-22 mainly excluding the derivatives used as economic hedges of employee benefits reclassified to “commitments related to employee benefits”, and it has been applied retrospectively so the figures are comparable.
(2) In Jan-Dec 2022 includes €1.1bn related with the acquisition of Oi's mobile assets, €0.3bn with BE-terna acquisition, €0.2bn with Incremental acquisition and other net factors of €0.5bn, net of €0.1bn from the sale of El Salvador and €1.0bn from Bluevía FibreCo in Spain. In Jan-Dec 2021, after the corporate transactions occurred during the year, it included proceeds of €4.9bn from the creation of VMO2 JV in the UK, €4.7bn from the sale of Telxius' & T. Deutschland's towers, and €0.9bn from the sale of Costa Rica and the creation of InfraCo Chile & FiBrasil, reduced by the acquisition of Cancom UK&I and Telefónica's share of tax payment in advance related to Telxius towers transaction (to be recovered).

Net financial debt stood at €26,687m as of Dec-22, down €1,957m in Q4, due to positive free cash flow generation of €2,093m, net financial investment collections of €840m (mainly related to proceeds from the closing of Bluevía FibreCo in Spain) and other net factors of €83m (primarily less value in euros of net debt in foreign currencies net of the application of the court ruling in Brazil). Factors that increased net debt were: shareholder remuneration (€855m, including coupon payments of capital instruments) and labour-related commitment payments (€204m).
In FY 22, net financial debt increased by €601m despite a positive free cash flow generation of €4,566m. This was due to (i) net financial investments of €1,000m (mainly Oi’s mobile assets, BE-terna and Incremental acquisitions, net of the sale of El Salvador and the closing of the FibreCos in Colombia and Spain), ii) shareholder remuneration of €1,688m (including coupon payments of capital instruments), iii) labour-related commitment payments of €853m, and, iv) other net factors totaling €1,626m (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 and the application of the court ruling in Brazil).
Including net proceeds from the recovery of Telxius tax payments in advance, after the acquisition of an additional stake in Telxius, the impact from the fibre assets acquisition by FibreCo Chile, net financial debt would have stood at €26.4bn.
Net financial debt including lease liabilities stood at €35,332m as of Dec-22. In Q4, lease liabilities decreased €518m due to lower ROU additions than principal payments and FX depreciation (mainly BRL vs €). In FY22, lease liabilities increased by €565m, due to the net effect of ROU additions and principal payments and FX appreciation (mainly BRL vs €).
Telefónica, has raised long term financing in 2022 by €15,009m, of which €8,849m correspond to re-financing of the Group’s debt (excluding commercial paper and short-term bank loans) while €1,740m equivalent correspond to a sustainability-linked term loan signed at VMO2, €599m equivalent correspond to new financing at Cornerstone, €61m to FiBrasil and €3,760m equivalent to a sustainability-linked syndicated facility at the JV formed by Liberty Global, T. Infra and Infravia. Telefónica financing activity has allowed the Group to maintain a solid liquidity position of €21,413m and maintain long debt maturities with 2023-2026 gross debt maturities average at €3.1bn, -58% lower vs four-year average at Dec-16. Gross debt maturities amount to €3.5bn in 2023, €2.6bn in 2024, €4.3bn in 2025 and €2.2bn in 2026. As of Dec-22, the Group has covered debt maturities over the next three years. The average debt life stood at 13.1 years.
Financing activities in Q4 22

T. Europe accepted the purchase in an aggregate principal amount of €1bn. In Feb-23, Telefónica signed a 10-year bilateral loan for an amount of €150m.
Telefónica reinforces its position as a leader in ESG financing. Beyond launching the industry's first green bond in 2019, the Company stands as the leading telco in terms of issuances in the capital markets. In 2022, Telefónica has extended its portfolio with a sustainability-linked syndicated facility, sustainability-linked committed credit bilateral lines and the first sustainability-linked bond issued in Brazil. All in all we have completed ESG financing for an amount close to €17bn.
Telefónica, S.A. and its holding companies continued their issuance activity under the Promissory Notes and Commercial Paper Programmes (Domestic and European), maintaining an outstanding notional balance of €500m as of Dec-22.
Undrawn committed credit lines with different credit institutions amounted to €11,737m as of Dec-22 (€11,434m maturing over twelve months), which combined with the cash equivalents position and current financial assets, placed liquidity at €21,413m.

Quarterly net adds in fixed broadband and mobile contract, churn reduced to 2015 levels
Return to y-o-y service revenue growth in Q4 22 for the first time in 3 years
Continued improvement in y-o-y OIBDA in Q4 22

Operating performance
T. España's result confirmed the recovery path seen throughout 2022. In Q4 22, service revenues grew y-o-y again for the first time since Q4 19, and OIBDA improved its y-o-y evolution, thanks to the good commercial performance and despite a complex macro environment. In an inflationary context, the sector remained rational, and the main operators have announced upward tariff revisions for 2023. In this regard, T. España has applied an average increase of 6.8% to its convergent and stand-alone tariffs, effective from mid-January.
Telefónica maintains its commitment to sustainability with actions to support the circular economy through the program for the purchase of used devices (Buyback), the commitment to attract and retain diverse talent with the incorporation of up to 200 people with disabilities, or affordable access to connectivity and digital inclusion aimed at vulnerable groups.

Revenue grew for the seventh consecutive quarter (+0.2% vs Q4 21; +0.6% vs FY 21) highlighting the return to y-o-y growth in service revenues (+0.6% in Q4 22, -0.6% in FY 22). This better sequential evolution is driven by B2B revenues (both communications and IT), the improvement in commercial activity and the higher contribution from new digital businesses in B2C, and despite the impact of lower wholesale football revenues since mid Q3 22. On the other hand, handset revenues declined 8.0% y-o-y in Q4 22, due to less aggressive Black Friday and Christmas campaigns compared to 2021, although they grew 37.4% y-o-y in FY 22.
OIBDA declined 2.1% y-o-y in Q4 22 (-3.3% in FY 22) and improved 0.7 p.p. vs. Q3 22, mainly due to the deflation of the new "La Liga" cycle, lower energy costs and efficiencies derived from the redundancy plan (€46m savings in Q4 22) and network transformation among others. OIBDA margin (organic) stood at 38.6% in Q4 22 (-0.9 p.p. y-o-y) and at 37.2% in FY 22 (-1.5 p.p. y-o-y), also reflecting the higher weight of lower margin revenues.
Q4 22 reported OIBDA was impacted by a €57m provision (on regulatory changes effective in January 2023 affecting to existing redundancy plans).
CapEx (+5.9% y-o-y in FY 22) remained focused on FTTH and 5G deployment and OIBDA-CapEx declined 7.3% y-o-y in the year, leaving the operating cash margin at 24.8% (organic).

Operating performance
Telefónica Deutschland delivered another quarter of robust commercial traction leveraging the ‘very good’ rating in the renowned connect magazine’s annual network test for the third time in a row. Consequently, the Company achieved sustained financial momentum across the year, with healthy revenue and OIBDA growth in all quarters. The Company successfully completed its 3-year ‘Investment for Growth’ programme within the planned CapEx envelope, achieving >80% of 5G pop coverage at year-end 2022 as well as complying with the coverage obligations of the German regulator. T. Deutschland is pursuing a ‘more-for-more’ pricing strategy across brands and portfolios backed by its widely acknowledged network, products and services quality and extended ESG leadership. In Jan-23 the company announced its revamped O2 Mobile (launch Apr-23) and Blau (launch Feb-23) portfolios including higher data volumes and/or higher speeds while being on average priced at around 10% higher price points.
In parallel, T. Deutschland extended its ESG leadership, ranked #3 in the telco sector by Sustainalytics and included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index for 4th consecutive year.

Mobile contract maintained its growth momentum in Q4 22, delivering +264 net adds (+1,228k in FY 22), with high O2 brand’s appeal driving O2 tariff portfolio’s gross add momentum in the market. Contribution of partner brands continued to be solid. Churn in the O2 contract base stood at low rates of 1.2% in Q4 22 and 1.1% in FY 22, +0.2 p.p. y-o-y each leveraging network parity and commercial success, while it remained somewhat impacted by the anticipated temporary effects of the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC).
O2 contract ARPU was broadly stable in Q4 22 y-o-y and improved sequentially (-0.3% y-o-y; -1.3% y-o-y in Q3 22; -0.7% y-o-y in FY 22) supported by the popularity of high value tariffs, slightly offset by the accelerated MTR glide path.
Mobile prepaid performance was characterized by a combination of a revenue neutral technical base adjustment (-2,535k accesses) in Q4 22 and the ongoing German market trend of prepaid to postpaid migration. As a result, mobile prepaid base registered -2,968k net disconnections in FY 22 (-2,911k in Q4 22).
Fixed broadband recorded +18k net adds in Q4 22 (FY 22: +32k), with the success of cable as a main driver, while the 4G/5G based fixed-mobile substitution (FMS) offer remained popular within T. Deutschland’s technology agnostic O2 my Home tariff portfolio.

Revenue growth continued to accelerate (+6.6% y-o-y in Q4 22, +5.9% y-o-y in FY 22) driven by sustained mobile revenue momentum (+7.5% y-o-y in Q4 22, +6.5% y-o-y in FY 22) fuelled by the commercial success of the O2 tariff portfolio and a solid contribution from partners, more than offsetting the negative impact from the MTR glidepath. Handset sales had a record year (+3.4% y-o-y in Q4 22, +13.9% y-o-y in FY22) fuelled by ongoing customer demand, availability of devices, and attractive handset financing options.
OIBDA growth accelerated to +6.6% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+5.2% y-o-y in FY 22) with continued own brand momentum driving improved operational leverage mainly in mobile while handset margins were broadly neutral. FY 22 OIBDA also benefited from further efficiency gains as well as some support from roaming recovery mainly in H1, offsetting the anticipated increase in energy costs. OIBDA margin remained broadly stable at 30.4% in Q4 and 31.1% in FY 22.
T. Deutschland successfully completed its 3-year ‘investment for growth’ programme. After prior year’s investment peak, FY 22 CapEx was down 5.8% y-o-y with a CapEx/Revenue of 14.7%. On the back of continued roll-out efficiencies, the Company delivered strong progress both in 5G roll-out and network modernization, including the planned swap of its core network to Ericsson technology. T. Deutschland’s 5G pop coverage stood at >80% at year end, significantly over-achieving its initial target, aiming for ~90% coverage by year-end 2023 and well on track to offer nationwide 5G-coverage by no later than year-end 2025.
As a result, OIBDA-CapEx was up +17.4% y-o-y in FY 22 and OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue reached 16.4%, +1.6 p.p. y-o-y.

Operating performance
Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has delivered its set guidance against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop and made strong strategic and operational progress throughout the year. The Company introduced new products, like TV Stream and Switch up and continues to drive fixed mobile convergence with its VOLT product. With the aim to continue to invest in the best technology, VMO2 has announced a 13.8% fixed price increase from April 2023 and also that it is linking its future pricing strategy to inflation from April 2024 to provide more clarity to consumers. VMO2 has exceeded the delivery of the planned synergies and OIBDA growth in Q4 22 accelerated to 9.9% y-o-y.
The fixed footprint reached 16.1m PPs, meeting our full year build targets, with an acceleration of rollout in Q4 22, passing 188k PPs. In mobile, it expanded 5G services to >1,600 towns and cities, on-track to deliver 5G services to 50% of the UK population in 2023.
VMO2 progressed on delivering its “Better Connections Plan” ESG strategy. In December, it became one of the first UK businesses to achieve the “Advancing level” of the Carbon Trust’s Route to NetZero Standard. On its commitment to a circular economy, the “Time After Time” fund was launched with the environmental charity, Hubbub, to fund eco projects that tackle e-waste and help old devices to be reused. For customers, VMO2 continued to reduce the cost of the Essential Broadband social tariff and introduced a new, faster 54Mbps tier for just £20 per month.

Financial performance
Revenue grew by 0.4% y-o-y in Q4 22, reverting the Q3 y-o-y decline (-0.6%) and flat y-o-y in FY 22, mainly due to a mobile revenue increase of +1.8% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+1.7% y-o-y in FY 22) supported by an increase in service revenue driven by price rises in April and a growing customer base. Hardware revenue declined by 4.6% in Q4 partly offsetting the good service revenue growth. Fixed revenue declined -4.2% y-o-y in Q4 (-3.4% y-o-y in FY 22) due to a change in consumer customer mix alongside continued decline in B2B Fixed.
OIBDA grew by 9.9% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+8.1% y-o-y in Q3; +6.3% y-o-y FY 22), with key drivers of growth being the realisation of synergies and cost efficiencies which were partially offset by increased energy costs. OIBDA margin improved by +3.1 p.p. y-o-y in Q4 22 to 34.4% (36.2% in FY 22; +2.2 p.p. y-o-y).
CapEx up 4.3% y-o-y in FY 22 as the Company continued to invest in its connectivity infrastructure to deliver future growth and network expansion. As a result, in FY 22, OIBDA-CapEx increased 8.8% y-o-y with OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue up 1.4 p.p y-o-y to 13.9%.

Notes:
- ARPU: monthly average revenue divided by the monthly average accesses of the period.
- Includes OI's mobile access since April 2022. In 2022, ARPU and Churn are impacted by the disconnection of 3.4m inactive mobile accesses acquired to Oi ; of those accesses, 3.0m were disconnected in September 2022 (0.8m contract and 2.2m prepaid) and 0.3m in December 2022 (0.2m contract and 0.2m prepaid).


T. Brasil accesses up 14% y-o-y mainly driven by higher value segments (contract +18%, FTTH +19%).
In mobile, Vivo strengthened its leadership. Following the excellent performance in the year and the acquisition of Oi's accesses in April-22, total market share rose to 38.9% (43.5% in contract) as of Dic-22.
In fixed, there has been an acceleration in the transformation to FTTH, reaching 23.3m PPs (+3.7m in FY 22) and 408 cities passed (+81% y-o-y). Thus, the speed delivery to customers has increased by 55 Mbps throughout the year to up to 232 Mbps on average, supported by the launch of the 1 Gbps offer. FTTH connections reached 5.5m as of Dec-22, 85% of total broadband accesses and an uptake of 24% (stable y-o-y despite the acceleration in deployment).

Revenue grew 10.1% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+9.1% in FY 22) and 31.0% in reported terms (+28.4% in FY 22) maintaining the strong pace of growth of Q3 22 (+10.6% y-o-y and 29.0% in reported terms) driven by the solid commercial momentum and the progressive update on tariffs. In Q4 22, fixed revenue grew 2.9% y-o-y (+2.1% in FY 22; +2.1% in Q3 22) driven by growth in FTTH and B2B digital revenue.
OIBDA rose 6.6% in Q4 22 (+7.2% in FY 22) and 26.9% in reported terms (+18.9% FY 22) as a result of revenue growth and the boost from efficiencies and advanced digitalisation processes, which offset the impact of inflation (mainly on personnel expenses) and higher commercial expenses. Q4 22 OIBDA margin stood at 43.6% (-1.4 p.p. y-o-y; 42.1% in 2022, -0.7 p.p. y-o-y).
CapEx increased by 9.7% y-o-y in FY 22 and CapEx/Revenue stood at 19,8% following the one-time effort made in the connection of Oi's assets, the acceleration in FTTH deployment and connection, and the expansion of 5G coverage.

Operating performance
T. Infra: Unique Portfolio of Best in Class Assets
In Spain, Bluevía (Vauban/CAA consortium 45%, T. Infra 25% and T Spain 30%) launched its operations last December with an initial footprint of 3.9m PPs and a target of 5m by the end of 2024. Bluevía is a wholesale FTTH provider focusing in rural areas and its fibre deployment contributes to the development of smaller towns, reducing the digital divide.
In Germany, Unsere Grüne Glasfaser (UGG) (Allianz 50%, T. Infra 40% and T. Deutschland 10%), has launched operations in eight federal states (“Länder”) and signed MoUs to deploy over 720k premises. UGG has also signed two wholesale agreements with regional ISPs in 2022, on top of the previously signed ones (one national and two regional).
In UK, Nexfibre (InfraVia Capital Partners 50%, T. infra 25% and Liberty Global 25%) will construct and operate a wholesale FTTH broadband network of 5m premises not currently served by VMO2’s network by 2026, with the opportunity to expand to an additional c.2 million premises, thereby accelerating the UK’s FTTH deployment with an investment of approximately £4.5bn, boosting digital inclusion.
In Brazil, FiBrasil (CDPQ 50%, T. Infra 25% and T. Brasil 25%) accelerated its roll-out, reaching 3.3m PPs as of Dec-22, having added 1.3m in FY 22. During 2022, Fibrasil signed wholesale agreements with Sky Brasil and Vero and was awarded with the Great Place to Work® Brazil certification.
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, with 3.7m and 2.4m PPs in FY 22 respectively, with Colombia reaching in Q4 22 the highest net connections ever (x2 y-o-y). Recently signed wholesale contracts with Liwa in Colombia and Direct TV and Entel (pending regulatory approval) in Chile.
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 49 MW. In 2022, Nabiax strengthened its sustainability commitments, launching its 2022-2024 ESG strategic plan and fulfilling the three ESG indicators associated with the €320m “Green Financing” received in 2021.
Telxius: Next-Generation Subsea Cables
In early 2023 Telxius received the pertinent approvals for Telefónica to increase its stake to 70%, strengthening its partnership with Pontegadea which in turn increased its stake to 30%. In addition, earlier this year, Telxius and América Móvil announced the deployment of Tikal (by Telxius), a new ultrahigh capacity subsea cable linking Guatemala and the U.S., with a possible additional landing in Cancún (Mexico) and an estimated service launch in 2025. This system completes an investment cycle that fully replaces the iconic Sam-1 subsea cable (still fully operational), comprising Brusa, Junior, Tannat, Mistral and now Tikal, a new multiterabit, robust set of next-generation subsea cables fully serving the Americas. Since 2018, Telxius will have added 7 new generation of subsea cables on both sides of the Atlantic to its network, increasing its footprint from around 31,000km to more than 82,000km.
In Q4 22, it maintained its strong commercial momentum, accelerating organic revenue growth of 7.8% y-o-y (+17.7% y-o-y reported), which together with continuous cost management and better comparables fuelled y-o-y OIBDA growth of 30.6% organic (+45.6% reported). In FY 22, revenue grew by 2.8% y-o-y (+12.6% reported to €421m) and OIBDA7 +17.2% y-o-y (+30.3% reported to €218m), reaching a 51.8% margin (+6 p.p. y-o-y organic). Bandwidth (Gbps) provisioned for capacity services grew by 53% y-o-y in FY22 and the value of contracts signed with third parties increased by 19% y-o-y, as result of the incremental demand from carriers and hyperscalers.
Telxius' traffic increased by 20% y-o-y in Q4 22 and +13% in FY 22 despite the huge increase already seen on previous years associated with the pandemic.

In mobile, T. Hispam continued to deliver strong commercial traction in contract (accesses +4% y-o-y), with growth in every country, except Venezuela (+209K net adds, 1.0m in FY 22), most notably in Peru, which recorded its highest net adds in the last 6 quarters.
In the fixed business, the focus continues on offering the best connectivity, as well as on the continuous improvement of the value proposition. As a result, FTTH PPs reached 18.9m after accelerating deployment (3.7m PPs in FY 22, 1.0m PPs in Q4 22), mainly driven by the Chilean and Colombian InfraCos. FTTH connections reached 5.1m, +19% y-o-y. Colombia performed extremely strong (+71%) after the launch of the InfraCo in 2022, achieving a record number of connection in Q4 (105k, x2 vs. Q4 21). During Q4, InfraCos reached wholesale agreements with Direct TV and with Entel in Chile and with Liwa in Colombia, maximizing the profitability of these vehicles by reducing overlap.

- Q4 22 OIBDA includes impairment allocated to Argentina of -€77m.



Revenue grew 2.8% y-o-y driven by service revenue (+1.9%) and handset sales (+7.1%), especially in Colombia (double-digit growth in both). In FY 22, revenue increased 3.7% y-o-y (+9.3% in reported terms). Reported revenue in Q4 22 (-8.2%; +2.8% in 2022) was negatively impacted by the depreciation of the Argentine peso vs. the euro.
OIBDA fell 1.5% y-o-y in Q4 22 (+2.7% in 2022) mainly due to higher commercial and network expenses (impacted by the InfraCos's new business models in Chile and Colombia). These higher expenses were almost offset by synergies generated by digitalisation and headcount reduction.
Reported OIBDA includes impairment allocated to Argentina of -€77m in Q4 22 and -€393m allocated to Peru in Q4 21 and personnel restructuring expenses (€12m in Q4 22 mainly in Argentina) and €50m in Q4 21 (mostly in Peru and Argentina). It was also affected by the depreciation of the Argentine peso in Q4 22. OIBDA margin stood at 20.9% in Q4 (-1.0 p.p. y-o-y); 22.3% in FY 22 (-0.2 p.p. y-o-y).
OIBDA-CapEx grew 2.0% in FY 22 y-o-y after maintaining low CapEx/Revenue level (10.1% stable y-o-y).

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.
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/5/2023/01/rdos22t4-data.zip. OIBDA is also defined on consolidated financial statements published by the Group for 2022 (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.
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.

informestrimword_4ene-dicx.jpg
The detailed reconciliation of Telefónica Group's OIBDA-CapEx and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions with Operating Income, can be found in the consolidated financial statements published by the Group for 2022 (see "Alternative measures not defined in IFRS" in Note 2).
OIBDA-CapEx and OIBDA-CapEx excluding spectrum acquisitions are also defined on the consolidated financial statements published by the Group for 2022 (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 the supplier financing for the customer financing of terminal sales) 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”, vi) mark-to-market adjustment by cash flow hedging activities related to debt, and vii) fair value of derivatives adjustment used for the economic hedging of gross commitments related to employee benefits. In 2022, the classification of these derivatives in the debt indicators has been revised, and these are now presented together with the "net commitments related employee benefits". This change in the presentation allows to include in the same section the economic underlying and the derivative associated with the hedged risk. So that, the effects on the underlying and the economic hedge are offset, avoiding distortions due to being registered under different headings, particularly at times of strong volatility, as has occurred in recent months compared to previous years. The totals of "net financial debt plus commitments" and "net financial debt plus leases plus commitments" are not affected by this presentation change. The new criteria has been applied retrospectively, so the figures at December 31 2021 have been restarted accordingly. 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. In 2022, Others liabilities included in "Payables and other current liabilities" and Others assets included in "Receivables and other current assets" have been reviewed, including non-material changes in the customer financing of terminal sales and applied retroactively to the net financial debt figures of December 31, 2021.
Net financial debt plus commitments is calculated by adding gross commitments related to employee benefits to net financial debt and the fair value of the derivatives used for the economic hedging of such commitments 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 December 2022 can be found on page 32 of this document and in the financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/01/rdos22t4-data.zip. Net financial debt is also defined in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2022 (see "Alternative measures not defined in IFRS" in Note 2.
36

informestrimword_4ene-dicx.jpg
b)Leverage ratio
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/5/2023/01/rdos22t4-data.zip.
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.
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/5/2023/01/rdos22t4-data.zip. Free cash flow is also defined in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2022 (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.
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.
37

informestrimword_4ene-dicx.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/5/2023/01/rdos22t4-data.zip. The Management Report of Telefónica Group contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2022 also includes the description of the adjustments for the calculation of the organic variations.
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/5/2023/01/rdos22t4-data.zip.

DISCLAIMER

This document may contain forward-looking statements and information (hereinafter, the “Statements”) relating to the Telefónica Group (hereinafter, the "Company" or "Telefónica"). These Statements may include financial forecasts and estimates or statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations regarding matters such as the customer base and its evolution, growth of the different business lines and of the global business, market share, possible acquisitions, divestitures or other transactions, the outcome of recently completed transactions, the Company’s results and its operations, including its environmental, social and governance commitments and targets.
The Statements can be identified, in certain cases, through the use of words such as “forecast”, "expectation", "anticipation", “aspiration”, "purpose", "belief", “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “plan”, “project” or similar expressions or variations of such expressions. These Statements reflect the current views or aspirations of Telefónica with respect to future events, do not represent, by their own nature, any guarantee of future fulfilment, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the final developments and results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such Statements. These risks and uncertainties include those identified in the documents containing more comprehensive information filed by Telefónica with the different supervisory authorities of the securities markets in which its shares are listed and, in particular, the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Except as required by applicable law, Telefónica does not assume any obligation to publicly update the Statements to adapt them to events or circumstances taking place after the date hereof, including changes in the Company's business, changes in its business development strategy or any other circumstances.

The Company’s non-IFRS financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. In addition, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are recorded in the Company’s financial statements.
