NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2025, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Therefore, these financial statements do not include all the information required in an annual financial statement and, consequently, they must be read jointly with the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024 included in form 20F 2024, which can be consulted at the Company´s website (https:// https://inversores.telecom.com.ar/en/quarterly-earnings.html). It should be noted that the annual financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of December 31, 2024, applying the guidance in IAS 29. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of March 31, 2025, applying the guidance in IAS 29. (See Note 1.d).

We have not recast our annual financial statements to measure them in terms of current pesos as of March 31, 2025, the most recent financial period for which consolidated financial statements are available. Therefore, the annual financial statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not comparable.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the same accounting policies as in the most recent annual financial statements, except for those policies incorporated due to the acquisition of TMA:

(i)

measurement of financial assets: assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in profit or loss, within “Other financial results, net”. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss,

(ii)

Investment properties, which is recorded initially at cost, and then at cost less accumulated depreciation, and comprise primarily land and buildings that are not occupied for its own operations, and the depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis for the estimated useful life of 50 years, (calculated in accordance with technical studies, periodically reviewed) and

(iii)

termination benefits plans: additionally to what is mentioned in Note 3.o) to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024, the company recognizes costs for a restructuring according to IAS 37 (i.e., it has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring, and it has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring) and when involves the payment of terminations benefits. These termination benefit plans correspond to the TMA subsidiary, are recognized in the line “Salaries and social security payables” in the consolidated statements of financial position and amounted to $1,362 million as of March 31, 2025.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared including in the consolidation process the following companies:

The Executive Committee and the CEO have a strategic and operational vision of Telecom as a single business unit, according to the current regulatory context of the converged ICT Services industry (adding to the same segment both the activities related to the mobile services, internet services, cable television and fixed and data services, services governed by the same regulatory framework of ICT Services). To exercise its functions, both the Executive Committee and the CEO receive periodically the economic-financial information of Telecom Argentina and its subsidiaries (in current currency as of the date of each transaction), that is prepared as a single segment and evaluate the evolution of business as a unit of generation of results, administrating the resources in a unique way to achieve the objectives. Regarding costs, they are not specifically allocated to a type of service, considering that the Company has a single payroll and operating expenses that affect all services in general (non-specific). Further, decisions on CAPEX affect all the types of services provided by Telecom in Argentina and are not allocated specifically to one of them.

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

Following the acquisition of TMA, dated February 24, 2025 (see Note 16), the Company identified a new reportable segment, “ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Networks” corresponding to the provision of mobile and fixed telephony services, fixed broadband, and video services on a nationwide scale in Argentina, using its own networks, with its own infrastructure. The subsidiary TMA is managed as a separate business unit, and therefore, the Executive Committee and the CEO review its economic and financial information (stated in historic currency at the transaction date) separately.

Additionally, Telecom, through Micro Sistemas, develops activities in the fintech industry in Argentina. Telecom also carries out activities abroad (Paraguay, USA, Uruguay and Chile).

The operations that Telecom develops through Micro Sistemas, and those developed abroad, are not analyzed as a separate segment by the Executive Committee and the CEO, considering that they are not considered as individually significant. These operations do not meet the aggregation criteria established by the standard to be grouped within the "ICT Services provided in Argentina - Telecom Networks" segment and considering that they do not exceed any of the quantitative thresholds identified in the standard to qualify as reportable segments, they are grouped within the category "Other segments".

The Executive Committee and the CEO continue to monitor these businesses to evaluate the way its performance is reviewed and, eventually, its consideration as a separate reportable segment provided it complies with the requirements established by IFRS Accounting Standards to that effect.

As a result, the following changes have been introduced as of March 31, 2025:

ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks: Corresponds to the operations carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries located in Argentina (excluding TMA) engaged in the provision of ICT services.

ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Networks: Corresponds to the operations carried out by the subsidiary TMA as from the acquisition date.

Other segments: Corresponds to the operations for a) ICT services provided aboard (Paraguay, USA, Uruguay and Chile) and b) the development of activities in the fintech industry, through the subsidiaries Micro Sistemas and Personal Envíos in Argentina and Paraguay, respectively.

The Executive Committee and the CEO evaluate the profitability for each reportable segment based on the measure of the Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our net (loss) income less income tax, financial results, earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets.

Presented below is the segment financial information as it is analyzed by the Executive Committee and the CEO for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Net earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Controlling Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. On the other hand, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to the Controlling Company for the period by the weighted average number of common shares issued and to be potentially issued at the end of the period. Since the Company has no dilutive potential common stock outstanding, basic and dilutive earnings per share amounts do not differ.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the weighted average number of shares outstanding amounted to 2,153,688,011.

(iv)

TMA is subject to various lawsuits and claims in labor, tax, regulatory, and other matters, considered in the course of its ordinary business. Information on legal claims and contingent liabilities by their nature is detailed below:


Labor contingencies	132,595
Tax contingencies	5,014
Civil and regulatory contingencies	34,517
Total	172,126

Labor contingencies mainly derive from:

Joint and several liabilities in labor matters;

Occupational accidents and diseases; and

Salary differences and other compensation payments.

Tax contingencies mainly derive from claims from ARCA, provincial tax authorities and municipalities. In this case, they primarily relate to:

Municipal fees; and

National and provincial taxes.

Civil and regulatory contingencies relate to civil, commercial, administrative litigation, regulatory, and other matters. In this case, they primarily relate to:

damages;

regulatory claims;

claims relating to accountability; and

fines imposed by regulatory authorities.

Given the nature of the risks covered by these provisions, it is not possible to precisely determine the probable dates of potential payments.

In addition to the aforementioned contingencies, there are other claims filed against TMA by different customer associations related to the industry and market common issues, some of which are in their initial stages. Considering the time elapsed since the acquisition, these claims are being analysed for the purpose of making an appropriate estimation and valuation to be considered in the final allocation of the PPA within the timeframes provided by IFRS 3, given that these estimations involve significant judgments that require more time and additional information for their final allocation. However, based on this preliminary assessment, the final impact of these contingencies, if they occur, is not expected to significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

Fair value hierarchy and other disclosures

The measurement at fair value of the financial instruments of Telecom are classified according to the three levels set out in IFRS 13:

Level 1: Fair value determined by quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Fair value determined based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (e.g. as prices) or indirectly (e.g. derived from prices).

Level 3: Fair value determined by unobservable inputs where the reporting entity is required to develop its own assumptions.

Financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and the level of hierarchy are listed below:

As of March 31, 2025	Level 1	Level 2	Total

(3)

The fair value was determined by the variation between the quoted values of certain public securities in foreign currency and Argentine pesos.

(4)

The Company also has certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value for which the book value approximates their fair value, except for:

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of borrowings is as follows:

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
Notes		2,289,671		2,215,136
Other borrowings		1,831,047		1,917,365
		4,120,718		4,132,501

The fair value of the loans was assessed as follows:

The fair value of Notes traded in active markets was measured based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. As a result, its valuation classifies as Level 1.

The fair value of Notes that are not traded in an active market was measured based on quotes provided by first-tier financial entities, so their valuation qualifies as Level 2.

For the rest of the borrowings, the fair values were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate, so as they are classified as level 3.

NOTE 11 – PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into various purchase commitments with domestic and foreign suppliers amounting to approximately $1,182,058 million (of which $ 200,727 million corresponds to Fixed and intangible assets commitments) and $1,076,541 million (of which $205,906 million corresponds to Fixed and intangible assets commitments) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These purchase commitments include those that contain “take or pay” clauses, which force the buyer to purchase a quantity of a product or service in a period, usually annually, or, alternatively, to pay that amount even if it has not been taken or accepted to receive it.

NOTE 16 – RECENT DEVELOPMENTS CORRESPONDING TO THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

Business combination: “Acquisition of TMA”

On February 24, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 86,460,983,849 common shares of TMA, representing 99.999625% of its capital stock, acquiring control. TMA is a company incorporated in the Republic of Argentina, providing mobile and fixed telephony, fixed broadband, and video services on a national scale in Argentina.

The purpose of the acquisition was to enhance the quality of existing services and to expand the coverage and capacity of both mobile and fixed networks.

The contractual purchase price for this transaction was US$1,245 million ($1,370,063 million in current currency as of March 31, 2025), which was settled in the following manner: (a) by assuming a debt owed by the seller to TMA in the amount of US$126 million ($138,559 million in current currency as of March 31, 2025); and (b) as consideration transferred (“consideration paid”), pursuant to IFRS 3, the remaining balance of US$1,119 million ($1,231,504 million in current currency as of March 31, 2025), which was paid in cash using funds obtained from two loans (See Note 7).

The preliminary fair value of the acquired trade receivables is $348,215 million in current currency as of March 31, 2025. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is $455,619 million, with a loss allowance of $106,954 million recognized on acquisition.

The Company's management conducted a preliminary assessment of the PPA. It should be noted that this is a preliminary assessment, since the valuation of certain assets and liabilities involves significant judgments that require additional time and information. Therefore, as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, no goodwill has been recognized. Once the PPA determination is completed, within the timeframes provided for by IFRS 3, any resulting effects will be recognized.

Impact on Operations for the period

The acquired business generated revenues from ordinary activities in the amount of $234,420 million and net loss in the amount of $21,656 million from the acquisition date to March 31, 2025. Had the acquisition been conducted as of January 1, 2025, the revenues from ordinary activities and net income contributed by the acquired business would have amounted to $690,293 million and $90,577 million, respectively.

Regulatory Impact of the Acquisition

As of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has duly submitted the required filings in connection with the acquisition of TMA and has initiated the necessary proceedings before CNDC and ENACOM in order to obtain, respectively, the approval of the Argentine Secretariat of Industry and Trade (or any successor authority acting as the enforcement authority of Law No. 27,442) for the economic concentration resulting from the acquisition of TMA, and the approval of ENACOM for the change of control at TMA resulting from the Company's acquisition of TMA. The filing with CNDC was made on March 3, 2025, and the filing with ENACOM was made on March 7, 2025, in both cases in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework.

F-26

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

Both administrative proceedings are currently pending, and as of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, only a Resolution dated March 21, 2025 has been issued by the Secretariat of Industry and Trade, whereby it ordered, as a provisional measure pursuant to Article 44 of Law No. 27,442, that, for a period of six months or until the Secretariat of Industry and Trade issues a decision regarding the approval, approval subject to conditions, or denial of the authorization of the transaction pursuant to Article 14 of such law, whichever occurs first, the Company must refrain from carrying out any legal, corporate and/or commercial acts that would directly or indirectly result in the integration or consolidation of TMA’s business with that of the Company. This includes any initiative aimed at unifying or integrating the personnel of TMA and the Company, as well as any exchange of competitively sensitive information with TMA, such as pricing and pricing strategies, costs and margins, business plans and commercial strategies, customer and supplier information, investment plans, among others. The Company must also comply with the reciprocal infrastructure sharing agreements entered into by the Company and TMA prior to the acquisition. On April 6, 2025, the Company filed an appeal before the Secretary of Industry and Commerce and the CNDC against this Resolution, as well as against the note of the Secretary of Industry and Commerce dated March 27, 2025, addressed to CNDC, through which a monitoring agent of the Company and TMA was appointed.

The Resolution does not alter the manner in which the Company and TMA operate as of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as they continue to be companies that conduct their business independently, and each has its own Board of Directors and management.

There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the post closing review of the Acquisition by regulatory authorities, even though, the Company has strong arguments to support its position.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

(In millions of Argentine pesos in current currency - except per share data in Argentine pesos in current currency- or as expressly indicated)

General considerations

As provided under Resolution No. 777 issued by the CNV on December 28, 2018, this operating and financial review and prospects discloses the comparative balances set forth below, restated to current currency as of March 31, 2025.

The table below shows the evolution of the national consumer price index (National CPI) and the Banco Nación U.S. dollar exchange rate used for the preparation of this operating and financial review and prospects, discussed in Note 1.d) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

	As of March 31, 2024	As of December 31, 2024	As of March 31, 2025

National Consumer Price Index (National CPI) (December 2016=100)	5,357.1	7,694.0	8,353.3

Variation in prices
Annual / Interannual	287.9%	117.8%	55.9%
Accumulated three months	51.6%	n/a	8.6%

Banco Nación US$/$ exchange rate	858	1,032	1,074

Variation in the exchange rate
Annual / Interannual	310.5%	27.7%	25.2%
Accumulated three months	6.1%	n/a	4.1%

The National CPI has registered an increase of 55.9% as of March 31, 2025, as compared to March 31, 2024.

As disclosed in Note 16 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, on February 24, 2025, the Company acquired 99.999625% of the capital of TMA, exercising control over such company. Consequently, since then, the Company consolidates TMA, and, therefore, the Company's results as of March 31, 2025 reflect the results generated by TMA from the acquisition date. Accordingly, our results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not comparable to our results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, defined as our net income, less income tax, financial results (Financial results from borrowings and other financial results, net), earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets. For further information on the use of adjusted EBITDA, see “Adjusted EBITDA”.

In 3M25, net income amounted to $93,202 million (compared to a net income of $1,052,577 million in 3M24), representing 6.8% of revenues (compared to 98.7% of revenues in 3M24). The decrease in 3M25 compared to 3M24 was mainly due to a decrease in financial result net of $1,323,252 million which was partially offset by an increase in operating income of $152,670 million, and a decrease in income tax expense of $208,996 million.

In 3M25, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $451,948 million, representing 33.1% of revenues. Adjusted EBITDA in 3M24 totaled $322,984 million, representing 30.3% of revenues. The increase of $128,964 million in 3M25 compared to 3M24 was mainly due to an increase in revenues of $296,923 million, partially offset by an increase in operating costs (without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets) of $167,959 million.

During 3M25 revenues increased 27.8% or $296,923 million compared to 3M24 amounting to $1,363,353 million. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025, which contributed $231,343 million of total revenues.

Services revenues amounted to $1,285,482 million in 3M25, increasing 26.5% as compared to $1,016,464 million in 3M24 and represented 94.3% of consolidated revenues. Equipment revenues amounted to $77,871 million in 3M25 as compared to $49,966 million in 3M24 and represented 5.7% of consolidated revenues.

Revenues included $38,452 million and $451,085 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively related to the effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025.

Consolidated revenues for 3M25 and 3M24 are comprised as follows:

Mobile Services

Mobile services revenues in 3M25 amounted to $620,179 million (an increase of $186,182 million or 42.9% as compared to 3M24), being the principal contributor to our total services revenues for 3M25 (48.2% of services revenues in 3M25 as compared to 42.7% in 3M24). Mobile internet services revenues accounted for 98% and 92% of total mobile service revenues in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in Mobile services revenues amounted to $15,319 million and $183,722 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

Mobile services revenues in Argentina amounted to $586,021 million (an increase of $198,515 million or 51.2% as compared to 3M24). This increase was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025 which contributed $138,425 million. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of TMA, the increase was mainly due to a 13.2% increase in the ARPU (average revenue per user), and a 0.9% increase in the number of customers.

The ARPU for the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks” amounted to $6,837.1 in 3M25 (compared to $6,037.6 in 3M24). The increase in ARPU is due to the fact that the Company was able to pass on the effects of inflation to the price. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in ARPU amounted to $216.27 and $2,543.43 in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively).

Our mobile customers in Argentina for the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks” amounted to 21.4 million and 21.2 million as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Out of the total mobile customers as of March 31, 2025, 62% were prepaid customers and 38% were postpaid customers, whereas as of March 31, 2024, 61% were prepaid customers and 39% were postpaid customers. We observed a change in customer behavior, resulting in an increase in prepaid services customers of 1.1% and of 0.4% in the postpaid services customers as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, the average churn rate per month amounted to 2% in 3M25 (compared to a 1.5% average in 3M24).

ARPU of Mobile Services in Argentina - Segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks”

A monthly operational measure used in the mobile services is ARPU, which we calculate by dividing adjusted total service revenues—excluding out collect wholesale roaming, cell site rental and reconnection fees revenues and others (divided by three months) by the average number of customers during 3M25. ARPU is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and our measure of ARPU may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. In particular, certain components of service revenues are excluded from Argentina’s ARPU calculations presented in this operating and financial review and prospects as of March 31, 2025. Management believes that this measure is helpful in assessing the development of the subscriber base of mobile services. The following table shows the reconciliation of total service revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations of 3M25:

		3M25
		$ million
Total Mobile service revenues		447,598
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: out collect (wholesale) roaming, cell sites rental, reconnection fees revenues and others		(2,453)
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation		445,145
Average number of customers during 3M25 (millions)		21.7

Mobile services revenues generated in Paraguay amounted to $34,158 million in 3M25 (a $12,333 million or 26.5% decrease compared to 3M24). The decrease was mainly due to lower levels of ARPU, mainly as a result of higher discounts granted to retain customers and migration to lower-value plans.

Paraguay’s ARPU amounted to $5,910.4 in 3M25 (compared to $6,629.1 in 3M24), representing a 10.8% decrease.

In 3M25, the customer base in Paraguay amounted to 2.6 million customers, increasing a 11.7% compared to 3M24. Out of the total mobile customers as of March 31, 2025, 73% were prepaid customers and 27% were postpaid customers, whereas as of March 31, 2024, 75% were prepaid customers, and 25% were postpaid customers. The average churn rate per month amounted to 2.1% in 3M25 (compared to a 2.6% average in 3M24).

Internet Services

Internet services revenues amounted to $322,420 million in 3M25 (equivalent to 25.1% of total consolidated services revenues), increasing $59,623 million or 22.7% as compared to 3M24. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in internet services revenues amounted to $9,277 million and $110,820 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

The increase in internet services revenues in Argentina in 3M25 was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025, which contributed $33,073 million. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of TMA, the increase was mainly due to the increase in the ARPU, while the customer base decreased 1.1%.

The ARPU for the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks” reached $22,538.2 in 3M25 as compared to $19,854.9 in 3M24. This increase in ARPU is mainly explained by the fact that, we granted fewer discounts to customers for this service. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in ARPU amounted to $722 and $8,296 as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively).

The customer base for the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks” decreased amounting to 4.0 million customers in 3M25 (a 1,1% decrease compared to 3M24). The churn rate per month amounted to 1.2% and 1.3% in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

ARPU of Internet Services in Argentina - Segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks”

A monthly operational measure used in internet services is ARPU, which we calculate by dividing adjusted total service revenues—excluding connection and rehabilitation fees revenues and others—(divided by three months) by the average number of customers during 3M25. ARPU is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and our measure of ARPU may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. In particular, certain components of service revenues are excluded from Internet’s ARPU calculations presented in this operating and financial review and prospects as of March 31, 2025. Management believes that this measure is helpful in assessing the development of the subscriber base of Internet services. The following table shows the reconciliation of total service revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations of 3M25:

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025, included in cable television services revenues, amounted to $5,224 million and $66,893 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

The increase in Cable television service revenues in 3M25 was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025, which contributed $8,350 million. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of TMA, the increase was mainly due to a 7.1% increase in ARPU, while customer base remains stable as compared to 3M24.

The ARPU for the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks” amounted to $15,094.1 as of March 31, 2025 compared to an ARPU of $14,097.6 as of March 31, 2024. The increase in ARPU is due to the fact that the Company was able to pass on the effects of inflation to the price. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in ARPU amounts to $472.6 and $5,945.1 as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In 3M25, the customer base in Argentina for the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks” amounted to 3.2 million customers, increasing a 0.7% compared to 3M24, leveraged by Flow Full and Flow Flex products.

ARPU of Cable Television Services in Argentina - Segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina – Telecom Networks”

An important monthly operational measure used in the Cable Television services is ARPU, which we calculate by dividing adjusted total service revenues—excluding connection and administration fees, advertising services and others—(divided by three months) by the average number of customers during 3M25. ARPU is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and our measure of ARPU may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. In particular, certain components of service revenues are excluded from Cable Television’s ARPU calculations presented in this operating and financial review and prospects as of March 31, 2025. Management believes that this measure is helpful in assessing the development of the subscriber base of cable television services. The following table shows the reconciliation of total cable television service revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations of 3M25:

			3M25

Total Cable television service revenues			144,593
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: Connection and Reconnection fees and others			(74)
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation			144,519
Average number of customers during 3M25 (millions)			3.2

Fixed and Data Services

Revenues generated by fixed and data services amounted to $154,859 million in 3M25 (equivalent to 12.0% of total consolidated services revenues), increasing $5,558 million or 3.7% as compared to 3M24. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in fixed and data services revenues amounted to $6,106 million and $63,403 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

The increase in Argentina of fixed and data services revenues in 3M25 was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025, which contributed $35,809 million. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of TMA, the decrease was mainly due to a 4.8% decrease in the customer base of fixed telephony services.

The customer base of fixed telephony services amounted to 2.7 million in 3M25 of which 1.9 million were IP customers, decreasing 4.8% compared to 3M24. The customer base decreased mainly due to changes in consumption behavior of customers.

Other services revenues

Other services revenues generated by other services amounted to $15,350 million in 3M25, increasing $3,131 million or 25.6% compared to 3M24. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in other services revenues amounted to $511 million and $5,008 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

These services include mainly revenues related to fintech services, revenues from billing remuneration and collection management on behalf of third parties, administrative revenues and revenues from the sale of advertising space, among others.

The increase in other services revenue in 3M25 was mainly due to an increase in fintech services in Argentina, principally due to the growth in the use of the "Personal Pay" digital wallet and the increase of 55% in the number of users, which amounted to 3.9 million and 2.5 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

Equipment

Equipment revenues amounted to $77,871 million in 3M25 (increase of $27,905 million or 55.8% compared to 3M24). This variation is mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025, which contributed $15,686 million. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of TMA, the increase was mainly due to a 64% increase in handsets sold compared to 3M24, due to better macroeconomic conditions during 3M25.

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of March 31, 2025 included in Equipment revenues amounts to $2,015 million and $21,239 million in 3M25 and 3M24, respectively.

The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025, which contributed $43,492 million. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of TMA, the decrease was mainly due to a reduction of 6.1% in the Company´s headcount amounting to 19,800 employees in 3M25, partially offset by increases in salaries agreed to by the Company with several trade unions for unionized employees, and also for non-unionized employees, together with related social security charges and higher severance payments.

Adjusted EBITDA

An important operational performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (as this term is defined in IFRS Accounting Standard 8) is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our net (loss) income less income tax, financial results, earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures, taxation and the useful lives and book depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment (PP&E) and intangible assets, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (a non-GAAP measure), our Management believes that this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and provides useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and accordingly; our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as used by other companies.

The following table shows the reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA:

	3M25	3M24	Variation
	$ million		$ million	%

Adjusted EBITDA contains $68,416 million corresponding to the consolidation of TMA as of March 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

· Sources and Uses of Funds

We expect the main sources of Telecom Argentina’s liquidity in the short term to be cash flows from Telecom Argentina’s operations and cash flows from financing from third parties, which may include accessing to domestic and international capital markets and obtaining financing from financial institutions. Telecom Argentina’s principal uses of cash flows are expected to be capital expenditures, operating expenses, dividend payments to its shareholders, payments of borrowings and for general corporate purposes. Telecom Argentina expects working capital, funds generated from operations, dividend payments from its subsidiaries and financing from third parties to be sufficient. Telecom Argentina has accessed the domestic and international capital markets during 2025 to refinance its outstanding debt, as necessary.

Liquidity

The liquidity position of Telecom is and will be significantly dependent on its operating performance, its indebtedness and capital expenditure programs, if any.

Working Capital

Operating Working Capital is a non-GAAP measure, defined as the difference between the Company’s operating current assets and operating current liabilities. The management believes that this measure is useful for assessing the company’s efficiency in managing its short-term assets and liabilities and ensuring operational continuity. For reconciliation of Operating Working Capital to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see “Reconciliation.”

Net Current Financial Liability is a non-GAAP measure, defined as the difference between the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. The management believes that this measure is useful for assessing our solvency and liquidity because it provides a view of our ability to meet its short and long term financial obligations. For reconciliation of Net Current Financial Liability to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see “Reconciliation.”

Working Capital is a non-GAAP measure, defined as the difference between our current assets and current liabilities. The management believes that this metric is useful for measuring our short-term financial health and operational efficiency and assessing our ability to manage our liquidity and sustain our operational activities.

Telecom has a typical working capital structure corresponding to a company with intensive capital that obtains spontaneous financing from its suppliers (especially PP&E and Intangible asset) for longer terms than those it provides to its customers. As a result, Telecom has a negative working capital, which amounted to $1,606,701 million as of March 31, 2025 (increasing $300,014 million compared to December 31, 2024).

Negative working capital contains $121,570 million corresponding to TMA as of March 31, 2025.

During 2024, Telecom obtained funds from the financial market to refinance part of its loans in order to optimize their terms, rates, and structure. Telecom will continue its strategy of refinancing its borrowings to extend contractual terms and achieve lower financing costs, thus covering its negative working capital.

Telecom had consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounting to $412,345 million and $345,596 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Reconciliation:

In addition to our financial information that has been prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, these this operating and financial review and prospect as of March 31, 2025 contain certain “non-GAAP financial measures” (as defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act). These measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Operating Working Capital, Net Current Financial Liability and Working Capital. Our management believes these financial reporting measures to be useful indicators of our operational performance and liquidity. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, including our competitors in the telecommunications industry, and therefore, our measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.

For our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see “Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets—Adjusted EBITDA” herein.
