TABLE OF CONTENTS

The financial information related to January-March 2023 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). 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 (see the Appendix “Alternative performance measures”, page 21 of this document).
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:
"We have made a strong start to the year despite ongoing challenges. We continue to execute on our strategic plan and delivered another quarter of accelerated revenue growth, both in reported and organic terms. We have achieved steady organic OIBDA growth driven by top-line growth and efficiencies. As such, we are well on track to meet our 2023 financial guidance and I am pleased to confirm our dividend for 2023.
We continue to prioritise our investments towards growth opportunities, and we are very satisfied that as a group we have left behind capital intensity peak. From a capital structure standpoint, our net debt continues to decline and is now lower than in Dec-22, which demonstrates the financial strength and the cash generation of the business.
We have made good progress on our strategy during the quarter and capitalise on the opportunities we have in front us. Both from a regulatory point of view, especially in Europe, and from new industry initiatives like Open Gateway.
Finally, in our mission to help to decarbonise the economy through digitalisation, we are close to completing our full migration to fibre in Spain by April 2024, with the potential to reduce the overall environmental impact of the fixed network by 94%".

Operational, infrastructure and IT performance
The Group’s accesses base rose +4% y-o-y to 383.6m in Mar-23, with FTTH and mobile contract growing +16% and +7% respectively.
Telefónica continues to advance in its transformation to remain a technological leader. The new digital world goes through our network. The acceleration of the FTTH and 5G deployment as well as the retail copper service switch-off in Spain targeted for April 2024 remain our focus. This transition brings greener technologies; FTTH is 85% more efficient in energy consumption than copper and 5G is 90% more energy efficient than 4G per unit of traffic. At the same time, the environmental impact per PB is 18x lower in FTTH vs copper and 7x in 5G vs 4G.
We are leaders in fibre (optimal carrier for the next 50 years XGS-PON ready). Total UBB PPs +4% y-o-y to 168.9m (Mar-23) and FTTH PPs +15% y-o-y to 66.6m, expanding our footprint and optimising CapEx and returns.
5G is available in our core markets. 5G stand-alone is already launched in Brazil and it will be launched in UK, Germany and Spain in 2023. 5G coverage stands at >2,100 towns and cities in the UK, >82% population in Germany, 85% in Spain and 58 cities in Brazil. LTE covers 90% pop. (99% in Europe and 87% in Latam), +3 p.p. y-o-y.
During 2023, the commercial rollout for the Open Broadband project is expected to start in Brazil, as well as the lab tests in the rest of the markets. Our Device Development Center manufactured 51m CPEs, out of which 13.5m are HGUs (installed for the 95% of our FTTH customers), and we have started the deployment of its evolution incorporating WiFi6 (which provides 25% more coverage, x3.5 speed, 40% more capacity for simultaneous devices). On top of our in-house CPEs, we create a differential value proposition with new services owned and from third parties via Open APIs.
5G network flexibility is underpinned by cloud environments supporting on-demand Virtual Network Functions (VNF) and Software Defined Networks (SDN). To achieve it, we progress on the technological systems evolution, mobile networks architecture with Open RAN, fixed networks with Open Broadband and virtualisation and softwarisation. In the Multi Edge Computing, our strategic advantage leverages key partnerships (Microsoft and Google), commercial solutions and COs to place Edge and 5G platforms. 83% of our processes are already digitalised (+1 p.p. y-o-y).
We plan to commercially launch in 2023 Static Network Slicing in our main markets with key B2B customers. As part of the leverage of our networks assets (NaaS), we have started the Open Gateway Project, in collaboration with the GSMA, testing with developers and hyper scalers the definition of compelling APIs and their implementation in our networks. We have already defined and implemented on some of our main operations (Spain, Brazil and Germany), 8 of the project APIs (ready for first pre-commercial testing) and are working on its commercial deployment during 2023.
In line with our commitment to fighting climate change, we implement efficiency projects to reduce electricity consumption, costs, and CO2 emissions. Across our core markets, Peru, and Chile, 100% of the electricity used is renewable. Elsewhere, to reduce fuel consumption, we use solar/hybrid energy in some sites and increase the procurement of renewable energy through new long-term PPAs. In parallel, we are reducing energy consumption with reduction in RAN and legacy switch-off. In Spain, 11 COs were closed in Q1 23 (2,247 since 2014), as part of the copper migration targeted for April 2024. These initiatives are part of the “Sustainable Platform Design” project. All this is helping us to achieve our goal of net-zero emissions in 2040, with an interim target of reducing scope 1+2 emissions by 90% and neutralising emissions in key markets by 2025.

Financial performance
Income Statement
In Q1 23, FX impact was positive y-o-y, +€136m on revenue and +€47m on OIBDA, mainly on the Brazilian real evolution. Including 50% VMO2 results, the FX impact amounted to €54m on revenue and €18m on OIBDA. On net debt and net debt plus leases, FX had a negative impact of €0.2bn.
Revenue grew 6.7% y-o-y to €10,045m in Q1 23. In organic terms, revenue increased 4.9% y-o-y, with service revenue and handset sales up 4.2% and 10.3% y-o-y respectively.
B2B revenue remained a key growth driver for the Group. B2B sales increased 9.0% y-o-y organic and grew at both the Corporate and SME segments. Strong performance in Brazil (above double digit) and acceleration in Germany and Hispam (mainly in SMEs). Revenue of the Tech Companies acquired over the last years (Cancom, Incremental and BE-terna) also contribute to the growth in the European footprint.
Other income reached €284m in Q1 23 vs €637m in Q1 22, which included €0.2bn from Colombia's Infraco capital gain.
Operating expenses increased 5.4% y-o-y to €7,202m in Q1 23. The negative FX impact was partially offset by lower restructuring costs y-o-y (€23m restructuring in Q1 23, mainly in Hispam). In organic terms, OpEx increased 4.2% y-o-y mainly due to higher supply costs. Personnel costs increased y-o-y and were partially offset by lower other expenses.
Impairments and losses on disposal of assets amounted to €6m in Q1 23 (€13m in Q1 22).
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA) decreased -2.4% y-o-y to €3,121m in Q1 23 mainly reflecting Q1 22 capital gains, partially offset by the positive FX effect and lower restructuring costs. OIBDA increased 1.1% y-o-y in organic terms and was up 2.4% in underlying terms.
OIBDA margin in organic terms was down -1.2 p.p. y-o-y to 32.1% in Q1 23.
Depreciation and amortisation was 2.0% up y-o-y to €2,151m in Q1 23, +1.5% y-o-y in organic terms.
Share of profit of investments accounted for by the equity method amounted to -€188m in Q1 23 vs +€72m in Q1 22, mainly reflecting VMO2's results, lower y-o-y primarily due to the change in fair value of derivatives.
Net financial expenses reduced -8.8% y-o-y to €266m in Q1 23 thanks to the solid position at fixed interest rates in strong currencies to face the rise in rates.
Corporate tax expenses increased 71.7% y-o-y to €162m in Q1 23, mainly due to an extraordinary positive impact from the tax provision reversal in Germany (positive outcome of the tax inspection of Group 3G UMTS), partially offset by the Colombian’s fiber sale tax effect, both in Q1 22.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests was down -19.0% y-o-y to €57m in Q1 23 mainly due to lower profit from minority interests from T. Colombia.
Profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company amounted to €298m in Q1 23 with earnings per share of €0.04 (€706m and €0.11 in Q1 22). In underlying terms, net income totalled €563m (-21.8% y-o-y) with EPS of €0.09 (-23.4% y-o-y) after excluding -€15m of restructuring and -€250m of other impacts.

Free Cash flow
Free cash flow amounted to €454m in Q1 (€513m in Q1 22), reflecting an improvement in y-o-y organic OIBDA-CapEx and higher dividends received, partially offset by higher working capital consumption, financial, tax and lease payments.
OIBDA-CapEx totalled €2,073m in Q1 23 and increased by +2.1% y-o-y in organic terms.
CapEx amounted to €1,049m in Q1 23. It was up 3.1% y-o-y mainly due to FX moves and higher spectrum (€20m in Q1 23 -in Spain- vs €2m in Q1 22). In organic terms, it was down -0.7% y-o-y with CapEx/Revenue at 11.3%.
Working capital consumed €396m in Q1 23, mainly impacted by recurrent seasonal effects such as CapEx execution. Compared to Q1 22, working capital consumption was €150m higher, affected by the seasonality of CapEx.
Interest payments increased 19.2% y-o-y to €667m in Q1 23 due to seasonality effects and extraordinary payments. The effective cost of debt related interest payments (L12M) was 3.87% as of Mar-23.

resultados2023_faldonxq1xea.jpg
Dividends received increased to €193m in Q1 23 (vs. €9m in Q1 22) mainly due to €185m from VMO2.
Tax payments grew 15.1% y-o-y to €126m in Q1 23 mainly due to the non-refund taxes in Spain partially offset by lower payments in Brazil and Colombia in Q1 23.
Dividends paid to minority shareholders totalled €5m in Q1 23 (€7m in Q1 22).
Lease principal payments increased +6.2% y-o-y to €623m in Q1 23 mainly due to seasonal impacts.

Funding and financing
Net financial debt was down €244m to €26,443m in Q1 23, due to a positive free cash flow generation of €454m and net financial investment collections of €407m (mainly related to net proceeds from the recovery of Telxius tax payments in advance partially offset by the acquisition of an additional stake in Telxius). Factors that increased net debt were shareholder remuneration (€324m, including coupon payments of capital instruments), labour commitment payments (€196m) and other net factors of €96m (mainly due to higher value in euros of net debt in foreign currencies).
Net financial debt including lease liabilities decreased -2.8% y-o-y to €35,061m with stable lease liabilities (-0.5% y-o-y).
Telefónica raised €1,857m long term financing in Q1, of which €1,150m at the Group and €707m equivalent at VMO2.
•In Jan-23, Telefónica launched a green hybrid bond of €1,000m and 7.25 years reset date together with a tender offer for the purchase of existing hybrid bonds with first call date in Sep-23 and Mar-24. T. Europe accepted the purchase in an aggregate principal amount of €1bn. In Feb-23, Telefónica signed a 10-year bilateral loan of €150m. VMO2 signed a USD 750m sustainable-linked term loan with maturity in Mar-31.
Telefónica financing activity has allowed the Group to maintain a solid liquidity position of €21,391m of which €11,819m correspond to undrawn committed credit lines (€11,029m maturing over 12M) and maintain long debt maturities with 2023-2026 gross debt maturities average at €3.0bn, -58% lower vs four-year average at Mar-17. As of Mar-23, the Group has covered debt maturities over the next three years and the average debt life stood at nearly 13.2 years.
Telefónica 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 €992m as of Mar-23.

Key messages
•Improved commercial activity in the quarter despite tariff upgrade
•Growth y-o-y in fixed broadband accesses for the first time in 4 years and a new drop in convergent churn
•Improved year-on-year service revenue growth and OIBDA trend

Operating performance
T. España's results in Q1 23 confirmed the recovery shown in recent years, both commercially and financially, with positive net adds in the higher value accesses and improved y-o-y revenue and OIBDA trends. Service revenue accelerated its growth to 1.0% y-o-y and the decline in OIBDA slowed to -1.7% y-o-y. In a quarter with tariff repositioning (+6.8% on average in Movistar products since mid-January), the quality of the offer in a rational competitive environment has allowed convergent churn to continue to reduce in a still complex macro environment.
Likewise, our commitment to sustainability continues to promote products and services that reduce environmental impact. In March 2023 we launched an offer of refurbished Movistar handsets that contribute to the circular economy, and Eco Smart services already account for nearly 60% of the portfolio in the business segment. In line with its social commitment, Telefónica and Fundación ONCE renewed the Inserta Agreement, promoting the incorporation of people with disabilities in the Company.
Accesses (stable y-o-y) increased in Q1 23 vs. Q4 22. Both FBB and mobile contract posted its best quarterly performance since the end of pandemic (Q3 20). Net adds in fixed broadband for the 4th straight quarter (21k) led to year-on-year growth for the first time since Q2 19 (+1%), while mobile contract posted net adds for the 3rd consecutive quarter (23k). Fibre also accelerated its growth rate (+119k accesses; +80k retail) and now accounts for 89% of broadband customers out of a coverage of 28.3m premises passed as of Mar-23, reaching an uptake of 30%. TV accesses (-49k) were impacted by the increased presence of O2 in the base and the continued decline of satellite-only customers.
Convergent customers (-1% y-o-y) confirmed their improving trend (-5k in Q1 23) despite the repositioning of tariffs in January, thanks to "miMovistar" portfolio, which continues to perform well and now accounts for more than 30% of the convergent base. ARPU reached 92.6€ and grew again (+1.7% y-o-y), while churn, despite the price upgrade, improved sequentially to 0.9% (-0.1 p.p.) and year-on-year (-0.4 p.p.).

Financial performance
Revenue continued to grow year-on-year (+0.3% in Q1 23; +0.2% in Q4 22) thanks to the acceleration in service revenue (+1.0% in Q1 23; +0.6% in Q4 22), supported by the stronger retail revenue (+1.7% y-o-y; +0.8 p.p. vs Q4 22) and driven by the repositioning of tariffs, the improved commercial activity and IT revenues which maintained double-digit growth, and despite the lower wholesale revenue from football since mid Q3 22. Handset sales declined -14.0% y-o-y (-8.0% in Q4 22), maintaining an absolute level similar to that of Q4 22.
OIBDA confirmed its recovery trend (-1.7% y-o-y, +0.4 p.p. vs. Q4 22), mainly due to the higher growth in service revenues and the better evolution of costs, reflecting lower energy costs, the elimination of the fee to finance public TV and lower content costs (World Cup in Q4 22), and despite the increase in personnel costs. OIBDA margin stood at 36.1% (-0.7 p.p. y-o-y).
CapEx (+8.6% y-o-y) remained focused on the rollout of 5G and FTTH (retail copper switch-off in April 2024), while OIBDA-CapEx declined 5.4% y-o-y, leaving a cash margin of 25.1%.

Key messages
•Good commercial traction on back of strong own brand momentum, +368k contract and +25k fixed BB net adds
•Sustained financial performance with continued healthy revenue & OIBDA growth
•Excellent progress of 5G roll-out within normalized CapEx envelope; well on track for ambition of ~90% by YE 23

Operating performance
Telefónica Deutschland had a robust start to the year, delivering another Q of good commercial traction on strong own brand performance. At the same time, the company implemented its ‘more-for-more’ strategy across all brands and portfolios; most importantly with the launch of the new ‘O2 Mobile’ portfolio in April. The new tariffs include higher data volumes and/or higher speeds while being on average priced at ~10% higher price points.
T. Deutschland’s customer service team achieved a ‘very good’ rating in the recent connect magazine’s hotline test and widened the gap vs the third placed German MNO. In parallel, the company made good progress with its 5G network roll-out with a focus on network densification both, in cities and rural areas, to further improve the 5G customer experience. In Q1 23, ~1k of additional 5G sites went live, taking T. Deutschland’s 5G pop coverage to >82%; well on track to deliver ~90% of 5G pop coverage by year-end 2023.
T. Deutschland again improved its S&P score (65/100 in 2023 vs. 57/100 in 2022) and ranks in the TOP 12% of the 181 telecoms companies surveyed worldwide. Top score and leader in industry comparison in the Social and Environmental Reporting categories.
Mobile contract delivered +368k net adds (+287k in Q1 22; +264k in Q4 22), with the continued high O2 brand appeal driving gross add momentum. Contribution of partner brands remained solid. Churn rates returned to low levels achieved prior to the EECC implementation in the German market. O2 contract churn improved 0.2 p.p. y-o-y to very low rates of 1.0% in Q1 23, reflecting commercial success (network and service quality and strong brand attractiveness).
O2 contract ARPU was up +0.5% vs. Q1 22 due to the popularity of high value tariffs while slightly offset by the further reduction of MTRs as of 1 January 2023.
Mobile prepaid recorded 353k net disconnections (-100k in Q1 22) driven by usual seasonality in combination with the ongoing German market trend of prepaid to postpaid migration.
Fixed broadband delivered +25k net adds (-10k in Q1 22) reflecting the ongoing success of T. Deutschland’s technology agnostic O2 my Home tariff portfolio and churn returning to the low levels reported prior to the EECC implementation in the German market.

Financial performance
Revenue posted strong growth at +8.0% y-o-y in Q1 23 (+6.6% y-o-y in Q4 22) driven by sustained mobile revenue momentum (+8.6% y-o-y) on the back of strong own-brand performance and a solid contribution from partners, more than offsetting the negative impact from the MTR glidepath. Handset sales had another record Q, +23.6% y-o-y in Q1 23 (+3.4% in Q4 22) fuelled by ongoing customer demand for 5G enabled devices and good availability of high value handsets in combination with an ongoing trend towards longer-term ‘O2 myHandy’ contracts.
OIBDA up +1.7% y-o-y in Q1 23 (+6.6% y-o-y in Q4 22). Improved operational leverage mainly in mobile was partly offset by anticipated inflationary cost pressures versus Q1 22 which e.g. still benefited from energy supplies at prior year pricing. As a result, OIBDA margin stood at 29.5% (-1.8 p.p. y-o-y), mainly on the particular strong growth of broadly margin neutral handset revenues.
Post the successful completion of its 3-year ‘investment for growth’ programme, T. Deutschland returned to a normalised CapEx/Sales. Q1 23 CapEx -7.2% y-o-y with a CapEx/Revenue ratio of 11.7%. Consequently, OIBDA-CapEx was up 8.6% y-o-y in Q1 23 and OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue reached 17.8%, +0.1 p.p. y-o-y.

•Resilient trading performance with a growing customer base of 58m (+3% y-o-y)
•We remain on track to deliver over 50% of run-rate £540 million synergies by YE 23

Operating performance
Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has delivered a solid first quarter, with a resilient trading performance and accelerated long term growth drivers. The Company has continued its integration, with the start of the migration of Virgin Mobile customers to O2, which is targeted to complete by YE 23. Q1 23 was the first full quarter of network rollout on behalf of Nexfibre, and delivery is being prepared to ramp up through the year.
The fixed footprint deployment advanced, continuing to connect communities, with 108k PPs in Q1 23. The upgrade of the existing network to full fibre continues to be on track.
VMO2, supporting humanitarian charity Jungala, helped provide internet connectivity to aid the relief efforts in the countries impacted by the earthquake in Turkey. For customers, the eligibility for the Essential Broadband social tariff was extended, which increased accessibility and allowed 9.7m people access to broadband at a reduced price of £12.50. Access to mobile was also stepped up, with the opening of the 100th National Databank with Good Things Foundation.
The contract mobile base declined by 21k in Q1 23 (+11k in Q1 22), driven by seasonal increased activity at the lower end of the market while O2 mobile contract churn was stable y-o-y and remained at low levels of just 1.0%.
In Q1 23, IoT accesses grew by +425k (+364k in Q1 22), contributing to an overall mobile base growth.
Fixed broadband net additions totalled +29k in Q1 23 (-1k in Q1 22), driven by the continued demand for fast and reliable connectivity.

Financial performance
Revenue grew by 3.9% y-o-y in Q1 23 (+0.4% y-o-y in Q4 22), with +3.4% y-o-y increase in mobile revenue (+1.8% in Q4 22) driven by a rise of 8.3% y-o-y in handset sales and a continuation of service revenue growth. Fixed revenue declined -4.8% y-o-y in Q1 23 (-2.2% y-o-y in Q1 22) due to a lower ARPU alongside continued decline in B2B. The sequential improvement has been impacted by an increase in other revenue, driven by Nexfibre.
OIBDA grew by 1.4% y-o-y in Q1 23 (+9.9% y-o-y in Q4 22), with key driver of growth for the period being the realisation of synergies partially offset by energy costs. The sequential slowdown in y-o-y variation was due to worse comparables in marketing costs and Virgin Mobile MVNO base migration. In addition, our fixed price rise will be effective in Q2 23 whereas last year it took place in Q1 22.
OIBDA margin stood at 34.6% in Q1 23 (-0.9 p.p. y-o-y).
CapEx increased 1.3% y-o-y in Q1 23 as the Company continued to invest in its fixed and mobile infrastructure. As a result, OIBDA-CapEx was up 1.4% y-o-y with OIBDA-CapEx/Revenue down -0.4 p.p y-o-y to 15.2%.

Operating performance
On ESG, Vivo is recognised as Supplier Engagement Leader by the CDP, thanks to actions like Supply Chain Carbon Programme, which has involved more than 100 partners with CO2 intensive operations.
In addition, the commitment to the environment has been reinforced, with the inauguration of 3 new renewable energy plants, already reaching 51, in line with the target of 85 in the scope of the Distributed Generation Programme.
Vivo continued to strengthen its ecosystem of B2C services, highlighting financial services (mainly thanks to Vivo Money and insurance) and Video OTT, which already has more than 2m subscriptions. Additionally, the Vida-V (health and well-being) and Viva E (e-learning) services launched in March 2023 are already in operation.
T. Brasil accesses grew +12% year-on-year thanks to contract accesses (+15%) and FTTH (+17%).
In mobile, Vivo continues increased tariffs progressively in a more rational environment. Contract churn fell to historically low levels of 1.1% (-0.1 p.p. y-o-y). In March, 0.5m of inactive prepaid accesses acquired from Oi were disconnected, with no impact on revenue.
In fixed, the Company strengthened its leadership thanks to its quality value proposition and differential fibre services. FTTH connections reached 5.7m, 17% more than in Mar-22 thanks to the deployment of FTTH PPs (24.4m, 4m PPs passed in LTM); up-take remains stable y-o-y at 23%.

Financial performance
Revenue growth y-o-y accelerated to double-digit for the fourth consecutive quarter (+12.1% Q1 23 vs. +10.1% in Q4 22) thanks to higher accesses, progressive tariff upgrades and the good performance of digital services.
Digital B2B revenue accounted for more than 6% of total revenues in Q1 23. Mobile revenue increased 16.3% y-o-y, due to service revenue (+15.9% y-o-y) and handset sales (+20.6% y-o-y) while fixed revenue grew +3.5% y-o-y, the highest rate since Q3 15.
OIBDA grew 9.5% in Q1 23 (+6.6% in Q4 22) thanks to revenue growth and the boost from efficiencies that offset higher expenses associated with lower margin services such as digital services and handset sales. OIBDA margin stood at 40.5% (-0.9 p.p. vs. Q1 22).
CapEx in Q1 23 was 10.3% lower y-o-y, in line with the target of bringing it down below BRL9bn by 2023, and OIBDA-CapEx up 22.7% y-o-y.

Nabiax (Asterion Industrial Partners 80% and T. Infra 20%) continued focused on growth, leveraging on its top tier data centres and being a benchmark for Hyperscalers in the country.
Telxius: Next-Generation Subsea Cables
Early in the quarter, Telxius and América Móvil announced the deployment of Tikal (by Telxius), a new ultrahigh capacity subsea cable to link Guatemala and the US, featuring an initial estimated capacity of 190 Tbps. The cable serves a key route in the Caribbean with the highest levels of service, reliability, and security. The supply contract is already in force with ASN and provides options to increase capacity and to incorporate additional branching units to serve other destinations. Since 2018, Telxius has added 7 new generation subsea cables on both sides of the Atlantic to its network, increasing its footprint from around 31,000km to more than 82,000km. This improves the ratio of services delivered on its own infrastructure, reaching more than 80% in the last 12 months, which facilitates the management of services that guarantee a better quality for its clients.

•Better evolution of OIBDA expected in H2 23; ambition to grow in 2023 in OIBDA-CapEx

Operating performance

T. Hispam keeps people at the core of its strategy and thus continues to seek viable and long-term alternatives to advance digitalisation, affordable and quality connectivity in the countries of the region.
In mobile, growth in contract accesses in main countries continued, mainly in Mexico (+13% y-o-y) and Colombia (+7%).
In fixed, strong growth of FTTH connections (186k in Q1 23) was maintained, mainly due to the deployment of the InfraCos in Chile and Colombia. PPs passed with FTTH amounted to 17.6m after deploying 4m in the last twelve months.
Chile's InfraCo, which reached the initial target of 3.5m PPs in Q3 22 with FTTH and already reached 3.7m PPs. The Company expects to obtain the approval of the Chilean competition agency to close the agreement with Entel during 2H 23 (+1.2m PPs with FTTH from Entel as well as a wholesale agreement between both companies). In Colombia, the InfraCo continues to beat initial expectations and reached 2.6m PPs with FTTH. Furthermore, both companies continue to make progress in reaching wholesale agreements, thus increasing their profitability (Direct TV and Entel in Chile and Liwa in Colombia).

Financial performance
Revenue grew 1.6% y-o-y in Q1 23 driven by handset sales (+3.7%) and service revenue (+1.2%) thanks to the good performance in Colombia (+9.1%) and in Chile (+6.4%). Revenue in reported terms up +4.1%, positively impacted by the y-o-y appreciation of the main Latin American currencies.
OIBDA fell 3.9% in Q1 23 mainly because of Chile and to a lesser extent Peru. Chile's performance reflected the increased commercial activity and the FiberCo business model (higher OpEx, linked to the acceleration of the growth of the FTTH accesses, and lower CapEx). The rest of the countries posted y-o-y OIBDA growth.
The y-o-y reported OIBDA in Q1 23 was impacted by the capital gain associated with the sale of 60% of InfraCo in Colombia (+€184M) in Q1 22. Likewise in Q1 23, €22m of personnel restructuring expenses have been recorded in Argentina (-€41m in Q1 22 also in Argentina).
OIBDA margin stood at 18.3% in Q1 23 (-1.1 p.p. y-o-y).
OIBDA-CapEx decreased by 5.6% as a result of lower OIBDA with CapEx stable (+0.7%).

Evolution by Country
•Chile: Revenue growth accelerated y-o-y to 6.4% thanks to the FBB differential value proposition (95% of total FBB accesses), B2B projects and the tariff update in Q1 23. OIBDA declined -15.5% y-o-y was affected by higher commercial expenses and the FiberCo business model.
•Perú: Results are impacted by the difficult social and economic backdrop and the competitive environment. Revenue declined -8.2% y-o-y and OIBDA -3.3% (cost efficiency measures partially reduced the impact of lower revenue). In the context of the recent rains emergency in the northern and central coast of Peru, the company activated its Contingency Plan, providing the necessary resources to ensure service.

•Colombia: Revenue and OIBDA growth of +9.1% and +1.3% y-o-y respectively thanks to sustained commercial momentum in value accesses, tariff increases and digital businesses despite the commercial impact on operating expenses. First company in Colombia to achieve for the second time the Equipares Gold Seal certification (eliminating wage and employment discrimination against women).
•México: Strong commercial performance, mainly in contract (accesses +13% y-o-y), led to revenue growth of +1.5% despite lower interconnection tariffs. OIBDA (+13.4% y-o-y) was impacted by the last mile capacity access agreement (100% of traffic migrated since Q3 22 vs. 61% in Q1 22) and by the savings associated with the access network shutdown. The Company ranks first in the sector in the MERCO ESG Reputation Monitor for environmental, social and corporate governance management.
•Argentina: Maintained good commercial performance, mainly in contract and FTTH in a more rational market environment. Revenue growth accelerated y-o-y to +82.6% in local currency in Q1 23 and OIBDA grew +68.1%. The Company reached 1m accesses connected with fibre. At MWC, Movistar was recognised as the fastest internet service provider in Argentina (Speedtest Award from Ookla, global leading network tester).

- 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 2022, were 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” (€66m in Q1 23 and €51m in Q1 22), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

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.
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/5/2023/02/rdos23t1-data.xlsx. 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.
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”.
21
resultados2023_faldonxq1xea.jpg
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. On December 31, 2022, the classification of these derivatives in the debt indicators was 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 was applied retrospectively. 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. On December 31, 2022, Others liabilities included in "Payables and other current liabilities" and Others assets included in "Receivables and other current assets" were reviewed, including non-material changes in the customer financing of terminal sales and applied retroactively to the net financial debt figures.
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 March 2023 can be found in the financial information contained in https://www.telefonica.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/02/rdos23t1-data.xlsx. 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.
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/5/2023/02/rdos23t1-data.xlsx.
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/5/2023/02/rdos23t1-data.xlsx. 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 2023/2022 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 2022. 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.
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/5/2023/02/rdos23t1-data.xlsx. 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.

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.
