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 September 30, 2024 and for the nine and three-month periods ended on September 30, 2024 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, 2023 included in form 20F 2023, 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, 2023 applying the guidance in IAS 29. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of September 30, 2024 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 September 30, 2024, 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 the application of the accounting policy related to business combinations between companies under common control, which are accounted for considering the book value of the acquired company in the parent company. Unrealized result is also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the asset transferred.

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires that the Company's Management make estimates that affect the figures disclosed in the financial statements or its complementary information. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in millions of Argentine pesos, on an accrual basis of accounting (except for the consolidated statement of cash flows), based on historical cost, except for certain financial assets and liabilities (includes DFI) that are measured at fair value and are prepared in current currency as of September 30, 2024.

The figures as of December 31, 2023 and for the nine and three-month periods ended on September 30, 2023, which are disclosed in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes, are a result of restating the financial statements as of such dates to values in current currency as of September 30, 2024. This is as consequence of the restatement process of the financial information described in point d). When applicable, certain reclassifications were made for comparative purposes.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024, were approved by resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting held on November 7, 2024.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all disclosures required under IAS 34. Some additional disclosures required by the LGS and/or by the CNV have been also included.

Segment information

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.

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 in Argentina" 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 business to evaluate the manner in which 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.

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 Assets.

Presented below is the segment financial information as it is analyzed by the Executive Committee and the CEO for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average number of shares outstanding amounted to 2,153,688,011.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the level of hierarchy are listed below:

Other borrowings	576,762	585,160
	2,663,441	2,603,276

F-26

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

The fair value of the borrowings was assessed as follows:

	a)	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.
	b)	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.
	c)	Fort 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.

Exchange rate Hedges

During June 2024, Telecom Argentina entered into several DFI agreements to hedge the fluctuation of the exchange rate from its loan portfolio amounting to US$5 million fixing the exchange rate in 1,015 Argentine pesos/US$, with maturities on August 30, 2024.

In relation to the situation described in Note 2.c).i) in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, on February 20, 2024 the precautionary measure, which suspended the application of the Decree No. 690/20, was extended for an additional period of six months, remaining in force until August 20, 2024.

In connection with the decision rendered on November 17, 2023 by the Federal Court on Administrative Litigation Matters No. 8 whereby it nullified Decree No. 690/20 and ENACOM Resolutions Nos. 1,466/20 and 1,467/20, on June 19, 2024, Chamber II of the Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative Matters rendered a decision whereby it fully upheld the first-instance judgment, ratifying the nullity of both Decree No. 690/20 and the aforementioned ENACOM Resolutions, considering them unconstitutional.

On July 4, 2024, PEN filed an extraordinary appeal against the second instance ruling. On September 2024, the Company was notified of the decision by Chamber II of the Federal Court of Appeals on Administrative Litigation Matters, which withdraws the extraordinary appeals filed by the PEN and ENACOM against the ruling of the aforementioned Court of Appeals.

Finally, on October 16, 2024, the Company was notified of the decision of the Federal Administrative Court No. 8 to consider the case concluded and to be kept in records.

On the other hand, through Emergency Decree No. 302/24, published in the Official Gazette on April 9, 2024, the Executive Branch repealed Decree No. 690/20. Furthermore, on June 25, 2024, through ENACOM Resolution No. 13/24, the ENACOM revoked the regulations that limited price increases for Internet, mobile telephony, and cable television services.

Therefore, the Company recorded a $1,691 million adjustment to the non-controlling interest balance as of September 30, 2024 and the difference arising from the total purchase price of $24,706 million was recorded in “Other comprehensive income” under Equity attributable to controlling shareholders as of that date, as provided under IFRS 10.

Corporate reorganization

b.1) Merger between Núcleo and Tuves Paraguay S.A.

In relation to the corporate reorganization process between Núcleo and Tuves Paraguay S.A. mentioned in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, on June 3, 2024, the General Directorate of Public Registries approved the merger between Núcleo (the absorbing and surviving company) and Tuves Paraguay S.A. (the absorbed company). The effective merger date is June 4, 2024, the date on which the transfer to Núcleo of all the rights and obligations, assets, and liabilities of the absorbed company took effect.

This operation has no impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

b.2) Transfer of shares of Personal Envíos to Micro Fintech Holding

On May 20, 2024, the subsidiary Núcleo distributed dividends to its shareholders totalling PYG 145,614 million ($20,549 million in constant currency as of September 30, 2024), of which PYG 21,842 million ($ 3,402 million in constant currency as of September 30, 2024) was distributed in cash and PYG 123,772 million ($17,507 million in constant currency as of September 30, 2024) was distributed in shares of Personal Envíos (an amount equivalent to the fair value, determined by an independent appraiser, of the 7,760 shares it held in Personal Envíos, representing 97% of its interest in that company).

On the same day, the Company made an in-kind contribution to Micro Fintech Holding consisting of the shares received from Núcleo along with 160 shares that the Company already held in Personal Envíos.

As a result of this transaction, Micro Fintech Holding currently owns 5,400 shares, representing 67.5% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Personal Envíos.

This operation has no impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since the non-controlling interest maintained its percentage of Equity.

Acquisition of TSMA

On September 14, 2024, the Company signed a share exchange and transfer agreement with El Hombre Mil S.A. (“EHM”), controlling Company of TSMA and Ver TV, companies that provide TIC internet Access and TV services in some cities along the Province of Buenos Aires.

After said share exchange and transfer, Telecom Argentina will hold 100% of its current subsidiary TSMA (previous direct/indirect interest in capital stock and votes was 50,1%), and EHM will hold 100% of Ver TV, in which Telecom Argentina had a 49%. Additionally to the share exchange, the Company received US$5.5 million (U$S 2.5 million upon signing the agreement and U$S 3 million payable in seven semi - annual installments) for the transfer of shares. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an outstanding receivable of $3.436 million, within Other current receivables ($991 million) and non-current ($2,445 million), respectively.

The Company, applying the guidelines of IFRS 3 (for a business combination in stages and the determination of the consideration transferred of non-monetary assets), has determined the fair value of the interest it held immediately before the exchange of shares.

The Company's management has made a preliminary determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (net assets) of TSMA at the acquisition date, plus the compensation received of U$S 5.5 million and from the comparison with the consideration paid (interest in Ver TV) has determined a goodwill.

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

In 9M24, net income amounted to $951,912 million (compared to a net income of $263,157 million in 9M23), representing 33.4% of revenues (compared to 8.3% of revenues in 9M23). The increase in 9M24 compared to 9M23 was mainly due to an increase in financial result net of $1,298,481 million which was partially offset by a decrease in income tax benefit (expense) of $656,503 million.

In 9M24, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $822,296 million, representing 28.8% of revenues in 9M24. Adjusted EBITDA in 9M23 totaled $918,826 million, representing 28.8% of revenues in 9M23. The decrease of $96,530 million in 9M24 compared to 9M23 was mainly due to a decrease in revenues of $332,753 million, partially offset by the decrease in operating costs (without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed Assets) of $236,223 million.

Total Revenues	2,852,341	3,185,094	(332,753)	(10.4)

During 9M24 revenues decreased 10.4% or $332,753 million compared to 9M23 amounting to $2,852,341 million.

While there was a greater demand for services, revenues decreased mainly due to the fact that, as a consequence of the 209.0% annual inflation in Argentina (from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024), the Company (similarly to its competitors in the ICT industry) was unable to increase its prices during 9M24 to the same extent as the increase in inflation.

Services revenues amounted to $2,682,307 million in 9M24, decreasing 9.1% as compared to $2,951,718 million in 9M23 and represented 94.0% of consolidated revenues. Equipment revenues amounted to $170,034 million in 9M24 as compared to $233,376 million in 9M23 and represented 6.0% of consolidated revenues.

Revenues included $468,178 million and $2,452,442 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively related to the effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024.

Consolidated revenues for 9M24 and 9M23 are comprised as follows:

Mobile Services

Mobile services revenues in 9M24 amounted to $1,154,984 million (a decrease of $137,447 million or 10.6% as compared to 9M23), being the principal contributor to our total services revenues for 9M24 (43.1% of services revenues in 9M24 as compared to 43.8% in 9M23). Mobile internet services revenues remained stable in 9M24 and 9M23 and accounted for 95% of total mobile service revenues in both periods.

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in Mobile services revenues amounted to $189,862 million and $996,669 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

Mobile services revenues in Argentina amounted to $1,051,194 million (a decrease of $134,993 million or 11.4% as compared to 9M23). This decrease was mainly due to 14.3% decrease in the ARPU (average revenue per user), partially offset by a 3.2% increase in the number of customers.

The ARPU amounted to $5,458.9 as of September 30, 2024 (compared to $6,367.0 as of September 30, 2023). This decrease was mainly explained by the fact that, as a consequence of the annual 209.0% inflation in Argentina, the Company (similarly to its competitors in the ICT industry) was unable to increase its prices during 9M24 to the same extent as the increase in inflation (the effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in ARPU amounted to $876.0 and $4,903.5 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively). Additionally, the decrease in ARPU is also explained by the fact that we granted greater discounts to customers in order to maintain the customer base, considering the intense competition in the market and an increase in the migration of customers from postpaid to prepaid services (which have a lower ARPU than postpaid customers).

Our mobile customers in Argentina amounted to 21.4 million and 20.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Out of the total mobile customers as of September 30, 2024, 62% were prepaid customers and 38% were postpaid customers, whereas as of September 30, 2023, 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 5.0% and of 0.5% in the postpaid services customers as of September 30, 2024. Additionally, the average churn rate per month amounted to 1.5% in 9M24 (compared to a 1.8% average in 9M23).

ARPU of Mobile Services in Argentina

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 six months) by the average number of customers during 9M24. 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 September 30, 2024. 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 9M24:

		9M24
		$ million
Total Mobile service revenues		1,051,194
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: out collect (wholesale) roaming, cell sites rental, reconnection fees revenues and others		(9,450)
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation		1,041,744
Average number of customers during 9M24 (millions)		21.2

Mobile services revenues generated in Paraguay amounted to $103,790 million in 9M24 (a $2,454 million or 2.3% decrease compared to 9M23). The decrease was mainly due to lower levels of ARPU due to a decline in ARPU, mainly as a result of higher discounts granted and migration to lower-value plans.

Paraguay’s ARPU amounted to $4,767.3 as of September 30, 2024 (compared to $5,133.7 as of September 30, 2023), representing a 7.1% decrease.

In 9M24, the customer base in Paraguay amounted to 2.5 million customers, increasing a 4.7% compared to 9M23. Out of the total mobile customers as of September 30, 2024, 74% were prepaid customers and 26% were postpaid customers, whereas as of September 30, 2023, 78% were prepaid customers, and 22% were postpaid customers. The average churn rate per month amounted to 2.6% in 9M24 (compared to a 2.5% average in 9M23).

Internet Services

Internet services revenues amounted to $725,497 million in 9M24 (equivalent to 27.0% of total consolidated services revenues), increasing $41,097 million or 6.0% as compared to 9M23. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in internet services revenues amounted to $116,534 million and $526,834 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

The increase in internet services revenues in Argentina in 9M24 was mainly due to the increase in the Broadband Internet access ARPU of 6.0%.

The ARPU reached $18,657.7 in 9M24 as compared to $17,604.7 in 9M23. 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 September 30, 2024 included in ARPU amounted to $2,970.2 and $13,534.6 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively).

The customer base remained stable amounting to 4.1 million customers in both 9M24 and 9M23, as a result of the Company's efforts despite the intense competition. The churn rate per month amounted to 1.9% and 1.8% in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

III

ARPU of Internet Services in Argentina

A monthly operational measure used in the internet services is ARPU, which we calculate by dividing adjusted total service revenues—excluding connection and rehabilitation fees revenues and others—(divided by six months) by the average number of customers during 9M24. 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 September 30, 2024. 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 9M24:

			9M24
			$ million
Total Internet service revenues			684,338
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation			-

Cable Television Services

Cable television services revenues amounted to $413,757 million in 9M24 (equivalent to 15.4% of total consolidated services revenues), decreasing $159,069 million or 27.8% as compared to revenues in 9M23. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024, included in cable television services revenues, amounted to $68,578 million and $441,036 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

The decrease in Cable television service revenues in 9M24 was mainly due to the decrease in ARPU, a 30.1% decrease compared to 9M23 partially offset by the increase of 1.6% in the customer base compared to 9M23.

The ARPU amounted to $12,698.6 as of September 30, 2024 compared to an ARPU of $18,158.4 as of September 30, 2023. The decreased is mainly explained since annual inflation as of September 30, 2024 amounted to 209.0%, the Company (similarly to its competitors in the ICT industry) was unable to increase its prices during 9M24 to the same extent as the increase in inflation (the effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in ARPU amounts to $2,078.8 and $14,009.8 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively). Additionally, the decrease in ARPU is also explained by the fact that we granted greater discounts to customers as part of our customer retention strategy.

In 9M24, the customer base in Argentina amounted to 3.2 million customers, increasing a 1.6% compared to 9M23, leveraged by Flow Full and Flow Flex products. The last one, that is 100% digital (no decoder or installation is required) began to be marketed as a main product during 3Q24. Our Flow digital platform’s customer base reached 1.5 million and our Premium Package’s customer base amounted to 1.2 million in 9M24, a 7.7% decrease compared to 9M23. The average churn rate per month amounted to 2.1% and 1.8% as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively

ARPU of Cable Television Services in Argentina

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 six months) by the average number of customers during 9M24. 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 September 30, 2024. 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 9M24:

			9M24
			$ million
Total Cable television service revenues			358,042
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: Connection and Reconnection fees and others			(549)
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation			357,493
Average number of customers during 9M24 (millions)			3.1

Fixed and Data Services

Revenues generated by fixed and data services amounted to $357,666 million in 9M24 (equivalent to 13.3% of total consolidated services revenues), decreasing $17,533 million or 4.7% as compared to 9M23. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in fixed and data services revenues amounted to $62,992 million and $288,376 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

The decrease in fixed and data services in Argentina in 9M24 was mainly due to decrease in ARPU, decreasing 1.7% as compared to 9M23, and a decrease in the customer base of 7.7% compared to 9M23, partially offset by the appreciation of data service subscriptions that are denominated in dollars.

The ARPU of fixed telephony (excluding IP costumers) services amounted to $8,187.3 as of September 30, 2024 compared to an ARPU of $8,326.0 as of September 30, 2023. The decreased is mainly explained since annual inflation as of September 30, 2024 amounted to 209.0%, the Company (similarly to its competitors in the ICT industry) was unable to increase its prices during 9M24 to the same extent as the increase in inflation (the effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in ARPU amounts to $1,470.9 and $6,511.9 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively).

The customer base of fixed telephony services amounted to 2.7 million in 9M24 of which 1.8 million were IP customers, decreasing a 7.7% compared to 9M23. 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 $30,403 million in 9M24, increasing $3,541 million or 13.2% compared to 9M23.

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 9M24 was mainly due to the increase in fintech services in Argentina, principally due to the growth in the use of the "Personal Pay" digital wallet and the increase in the number of users, which amounted to 3.3 million and 1.6 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

Equipment

Equipment revenues amounted to $170,034 million in 9M24 (a decrease of $63,342 million or 27.1% compared to 9M23). This variation is mainly due to a 22% decrease in handsets sold compared to 9M23.

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of September 30, 2024 included in Equipment revenues amounts to $25,705 million and $179,390 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

VII

Telecom incurred in a financial gain, net of $1,488,554 million in 9M24 (compared to a gain of $190,073 million in 9M23). Financial Results, net in 9M24 mainly included (i) foreign exchange gains measured in real terms of $1,689,524 million as a result of the U.S. dollar appreciating 20.0% against the Argentine Peso compared to a 101.6% inflation (compared to a gain of $57,796 million in 9M23 and 97.5% devaluation of the Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar compared to a 103.2% inflation in 9M23) and (ii) the Inflation Adjustment Gain (Loss) (Resultado por exposición a los cambios en el poder adquisitivo de la moneda, or RECPAM), which amounted to a gain of $108,816 million (compared to a gain of $250,303 million in 9M23). These effects were partially offset by (i) interest on borrowings, measured in real terms, of $87,136 million (compared to $90,456 million in 9M23), (ii) losses from remeasurement in borrowings of $86,875 million (compared to a gain of $46,220 million in 9M23), (iii) fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of $44,741 million (compared to a loss of $40,043 million in 9M23), and (iv) other financial results of $91,034 million (compared to $33,747 million in 9M23). Other financial results include the effect of PAIS tax (“Spanish acronym for the phrase “For an Inclusive and Supportive Argentina”) of $45,018 million in 9M24.

Income tax benefit (expense)

Telecom’s income tax includes the following effects: (i) the current tax payable pursuant to tax legislation applicable to Telecom, and (ii) the effect of applying the deferred tax method on temporary differences arising out of the Company’s asset and liability valuation according to tax versus financial accounting criteria, including the income tax inflation effect.

Income tax expense amounted to $422,092 million in 9M24 compared to a benefit of $234,411 million in 9M23. It includes the following effects: (i) current tax expenses, Telecom’s generated $21,991 million tax expense in 9M24 (compared to an expense of $3,575 million in 9M23), (ii) regarding the deferred tax in 9M24, Telecom recorded a deferred tax expense of $400,101 million compared to a gain of $237,986 million in 9M23.

Net income

Telecom recorded net income of $951,912 million in 9M24 as compared to net income of $263,157 million in 9M23 and represented a 33.4% of revenues as compared to 8.3% in 9M23. The increase in 9M24 compared to 9M23 was mainly due to an increase in income before income tax of $1,374,004 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in income tax benefit (expense) of $422,092 million.

Net income attributable to controlling shareholders amounted to $938,639 million in 9M24 compared to a gain of $251,230 million in 9M23.

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 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:

	9M24	9M23	Variation
	$ million		$ million	%
Net income	951,912	263,157	688,755	n/a

Adjusted EBITDA	822,296	918,826	(96,530)	(10.5)

VIII

Our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $822,296 million in 9M24, representing a decrease of $96,530 million or 10.5% as compared to 9M23. Adjusted EBITDA represented 28.8% of our total consolidated revenues in both 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

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 2024 to refinance its outstanding debt, as necessary.

As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, we had $182,810 million and $307,910 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $479,006 million and $943,912 million in 9M24 and 9M23, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $464,906 million, or (49.3)% in 9M24 compared to 9M23, primarily due to a $382,796 million decrease in net cash outflows in connection with changes in our assets and liabilities which was partially offset by (i) $81,904 million increase in net loss adjusted for non-cash income and expense and (ii) a $206 million increase in cash outflows used to pay income tax.

The decrease was primarily due to an increase in trade payable payments, mostly due to settlements of outstanding foreign currency payables (which was settled using government bonds also) an increase in payments of other liabilities partially offset by an increase in cash flows related to other receivables.

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 $1,073,750 million as of September 30, 2024 (decreasing $185,202 million compared to December 31, 2023).

Telecom had consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounting to $182,810 million and $332,074 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 September 30, 2024 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 Assets—Adjusted EBITDA” herein.

For our definitions of (i) Operating Working Capital; (ii) Net Current Financial Liability and (iii) Working Capital, see “Working Capital” herein.

Trend information

Telecom is a fundamental pillar in the development of the digital economy in Argentina. As a key player in the ICT industry, our Company drives essential solutions for the 4.0 economy, transforming the digital lives of individuals, communities, and organizations throughout the country.

We provide high-quality connections, boost the digital lives of our customers, and develop innovative products and services that reaffirm our leadership as a technology company.

During the first nine months of 2024, we have navigated the context of a new national government in a socio-economic scenario that remains challenging.

The main macro and microeconomic variables continue to pose obstacles to societal sustainability. Nevertheless, we remain confident that trends toward a slowdown in inflation, exchange rate stability, and improved conditions for acquiring technological equipment will be reinforced.

Telecom remains committed to its customers by offering a comprehensive ecosystem of digital, connectivity, and entertainment services, essential for the digital lives of individuals and organizations. To ensure the sustainability of the business, we continue to focus on achieving an optimal balance between revenues and costs through an operational efficiency plan, a balanced pricing policy, and commercial promotions, all adapted to a highly competitive market.

This commitment is also reflected in the continuity of our investment plan, which over the past years has been key to the reconversion of our systems and infrastructure, fundamental pillars of our digital transformation. Additionally, we continue to develop new services and solutions essential for our customers' digital evolution.

We connect Argentina with the most advanced technology on a global level. We continue to expand our fiber optic network and enhance our 4G network, bringing high-speed connections to every corner of the country to strengthen services both inside and outside the home. Additionally, we remain focused on the growth of digital platforms such as Flow and Personal Pay, our digital wallet, which continues to increase its user base.

Personal 5G, the first fifth-generation network in Argentina, continues its expansion with new mobile sites in major cities across the country. This technology supports areas with the highest concentration of compatible devices, with planning adjusted to the evolution of demand, considering the intensive and dollarized investments required. Our goal is to create new business opportunities and generate value for industries, cities, and entrepreneurs.

The 5G standard represents not only a technological advance but also a catalyst for innovation and development, transforming industries and enhancing economic competitiveness as the value chain grows in this ecosystem.

From a regulatory perspective, on April 9, 2024, the National Government repealed Decree No. 690/20, which had declared ICT Services as essential public services restricting competition and the freedom to set prices. The measure was endorsed by the ruling of the Federal Administrative Litigation Court No. 8, which resolved to conclude the annulment process of the aforementioned decree and ENACOM Resolutions No. 1466/2020 and No. 1467/2020. The repeal of this regulation has reduced the uncertainty that affected the sector in recent years.

Digital transformation is a key element in the evolution of the business model we are building, leveraging the opportunities offered by service platformization and our regional presence.

XIV

As part of this strategy, Telecom leads the GSMA's Open Gateway initiative in Argentina, promoting digital innovation and development through the standardization and monetization of network assets. Just one year after joining this global project driven by the GSMA, we have implemented four security and anti-fraud service applications and partnered with Intraway to continue driving this new business paradigm along with mobile operators in Latin America, accelerating the development of innovative solutions for the 4.0 economy.

In September 2024, Telecom celebrated a significant milestone: The 30th anniversary of its listing on the New York Stock Exchange, being the only Argentine technology company to reach three uninterrupted decades in this international market.

CAPSULE FINANCIAL INFORMATION ILLUSTRATING THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION FROM

DECEMBER 31, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

(In millions of Argentine pesos in current currency - except per share data in Argentine pesos in current currency)

Financial Statements – Application of Accounting Standards

We prepared our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (our “Annual Financial Statements”) in Pesos in current currency as of December 31, 2023 and in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). Our Annual Financial Statements are included in Item 18 of our 2023 20-F.

We prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the Nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (our “Q2 2024 Unaudited Financial Statements”) in Pesos in current currency as of September 30, 2024 and in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Our Q3 2024 Unaudited Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in our Annual Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with them. Our results for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any future period. Our Q3 2024 Unaudited Financial Statements are included elsewhere herein.

We refer to our Annual Financial Statements and our Q3 2024 Unaudited Financial Statements together as our “Financial Statements”.

Financial Statements – Application of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” (“IAS 29”)

IAS 29 requires for financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, to be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting year/ period. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements. In general terms, by applying to non-monetary items the change in a general price index from the date of acquisition or the date of revaluation, as appropriate, to the end of the reporting period.

In order to determine whether an economy is categorized as a high inflation economy under IAS 29, the standard details several factors to be assessed, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate over six years approaching, or exceeding, 100%.

The table below shows the evolution of the indexes as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

	As of December 31, 2021	As of December 31, 2022	As of December 31, 2023	As of September 30, 2024

Variation in Prices
Annual	50.9%	94.8%	211.4%	209.0%
Accumulated nine months	n/a	n/a	n/a	101.6%

Our Annual Financial Statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of December 31, 2023 applying the guidance in IAS 29. Our Q3 2024 Unaudited Financial Statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of September 30, 2024 applying the guidance in IAS 29.

We have not recast our Annual Financial Statements to measure them in terms of current pesos as of September 30, 2024, the most recent financial period for which consolidated financial statements are available. Therefore, the Annual Financial Statements and the Q3 2024 Unaudited Financial Statements are not comparable.

We have included herein unaudited supplemental selected financial data for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 recast in Pesos in current currency as of September 30, 2024, the most recent financial period for which financial statements are available. We believe the presentation of this supplemental selected financial data helps to bridge a reader to better understand the impact the inflation for the Nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 would have had on the Annual Financial Statements should they had been presented on a comparative basis together with the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The inflation rate in Argentina for the Nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was 101.6%.

The following tables summarize selected statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022, income statement data and cash flow data for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 recast in Pesos in current currency as of September 30, 2024, the most recent financial period for which financial statements are available.
