Thus, this APM excludes from the "Operating Income" all elements passed through to customers, like utilities, and "Advances to customers", as well as business rates, rents and others, that are also passthrough.
The Group uses Revenues ex pass-through as an operating performance indicator of its business lines, once excluding high-volatility elements that do not contribute to the Group's EBITDA. The Group believes it will be widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders, as a clearer indicator of its performance.

Adjusted EBITDA
APMs Definitions
Adjusted EBITDA relates to the "Operating profit" before "Depreciation, amortization and results from disposals of fixed assets" and after adding back certain non-recurring expenses (such as donations,
redundancy provision, extra compensation and benefit costs, and costs and taxes related to acquisitions, among others), as well as certain non-cash expenses (LTIP remuneration payable in shares, among others) and advances to customers.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance indicator of its business units and it is widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other
stakeholders. At the same time, it is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure adopted in accounting standards and, therefore, should not be considered an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, cannot be compared to the Adjusted EBITDA of other companies.
One commonly used metric that is derived from Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA margin.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin corresponds to Adjusted EBITDA, divided by revenues ex pass through. Thus, it excludes elements passed through to customers from both expenses and revenues, mostly electricity costs, the utility fee, as well as Advances to customers, business rates, rents and others. The Group uses Adjusted EBITDA Margin as an operating performance indicator and it is widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders.
Average Revenue per Tower (ARPT)
The Group uses "ARPT" as an operating performance indicator of its Tower business lines and believes it will be widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders. It is calculated dividing the revenues ex Pass-through associated to the Towers business lines by the number of telecom sites at the end of the reporting period. Towers revenues are expressed on an annual basis as per the last 12 months ended the last day of the reporting period. "ARPT" is expressed in thousands of Euros.
Available Liquidity
The Group considers as Available Liquidity the available cash and available credit lines at period-end closing, as well as other financial assets.
Capital expenditures
The Company considers capital expenditures as an important indicator of its operating performance in terms of investment in assets, including their maintenance, expansion, Build-to-suit, and M&A. These
indicators are widely used in the industry in which the Company operates as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders.
The Group classifies its capital expenditures in four main categories:
Maintenance capital expenditures
Includes investments in existing tangible or intangible assets, such as investment in infrastructure, equipment and information technology systems, and are primarily linked to keeping infrastructure, active and passive equipment, in good working order. Maintenance Capex also includes network maintenance, such us corrective maintenance (responses to network incidents and preventive inspections, e.g. replacement of air conditioning or electrical equipment), statutory maintenance (mandatory inspections owing to regulatory obligations, e.g. infrastructure certifications, lightning certifications), network renewal and improvements (renewal of obsolete equipment and assets improvement, e.g. tower reinforcement, battery renewal, phase-out management), continuity plans (specific plans to mitigate risk of infrastructure collapse or failure with existing services or assets not compliant with regulations), re-roofing (solutions to allow landlords' roofing work and avoid service discontinuity or building repairs attributable to Cellnex) as well as other non-network maintenance activities, such us business maintenance ( infrastructure adaptations for tenants, upgrades not managed via Engineering Services, or capex to renew customer contracts without revenue increases), IT systems or repairs and maintenance of offices.
Expansion capital expenditures
Expansion Capital expenditures includes three categories: Tower Expansion Capex, Other Business Expansion Capex and Efficiency Capex.
Please note that Tower Expansion Capex includes Tower Upgrades, consisting of works and studies Cellnex carries out on behalf of its customers such as adaptation, engineering and design services at the request of its customers, which represent a separate income stream and performance obligation. Tower Upgrades carried out in Cellnex' Infrastructure are invoiced and accrued when the customer's request is finalised and collected in accordance with each customer agreement with certain margin. The costs incurred in relation to these services can be an internal expense or otherwise outsourced and the revenue in relation to these services is generally recognised when the capital expense is incurred.
Other Business Expansion Capex consists mainly of investments related to non Passive projects as Active Equipment, DAS, Network or others.
Efficiency Capex consists of investment related to business efficiency that generates additional RLFCF, including among others, decommissioning, advances to landlords (excluding long-term cash advances) and efficiency measures associated with energy and connectivity.
The Company considers capital expenditures as an important indicator of its operating performance in terms of investment in assets. This indicator is widely used in the industry in which the Company
operates as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders.
Build-to-Suit capital expenditures and Remedies
Corresponds to committed Build-to-suit programs (consisting of new and dismantled sites, backhaul, backbone, edge computer centers, DAS nodes or any other type of telecommunication infrastructure as well as any
advanced payment related to it). Ad-hoc maintenance capital expenditure required eventually may be included. Cash-in from the disposal of assets (or shares) due to, among others, antitrust bodies' decisions are considered within this item.
M&A capital expenditures and divestments
Corresponds to investments in: i) land acquisition and long term right of use (including long-term cash advances), ii) shareholdings of companies (excluding the amount of deferred payments in business
combinations that are payable in subsequent periods) as well as significant investments in acquiring portfolios of sites (asset purchases) and, (iii) one of the tax payments coming from tax structure after an M&A transaction and, (iv) cash in from divestments.
EBITDA after leases (EBITDAaL)
EBITDAaL refers to Adjusted EBITDA after leases. It deducts payments of lease instalments in the ordinary course of business to Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company uses EBITDAaL as an operating performance indicator of its business units and is widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders. At the same time, it is important to highlight that EBITDAaL is not a measure adopted in accounting standards and, therefore, should not be considered an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity.
EBITDAaL does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, cannot be compared to the EBITDAaL of other companies.
One commonly used metric that is derived from EBITDAaL is EBITDAaL margin.
EBITDAaL Margin
EBITDAaL Margin corresponds to EBITDAaL, divided by revenues ex pass through. Thus, it excludes elements passed through to customers from both expenses and revenues, mostly electricity costs, the utility fee, as well as Advances to customers, business rates, rents and others.
The Group uses EBITDAaL Margin as an operating performance indicator and it is widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is defined as Recurring Leveraged Free Cash Flow after deducting BTS Capex and Expansion Capex (and Engineering Services Capex in the event that are reported under a dedicated Capex line).
Gross Financial Debt
The Gross Financial Debt corresponds to "Bond issues and other loans", "Loans and credit facilities", "Lease liabilities" and "the deferred payment in relation to Omtel acquisition", and does not include any debt held by Group companies registered using the equity method of consolidation, "Derivative financial instruments" or "Other financial liabilities". "Lease liabilities" is calculated as the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit or at the incremental borrowing rate.
Net Financial Debt
The Net Financial Debt corresponds to "Gross Financial Debt" less "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Other financial assets". Together with Gross Financial Debt, the Company uses Net Financial Debt as a measure of its solvency and liquidity as it indicates the current cash and equivalents in relation to its total debt liabilities. One commonly used metric that is derived from Net Financial Debt is "Net Financial Debt / Adjusted EBITDA" which is frequently used by analysts, investors and rating agencies as an indication of financial leverage.
Net Payment of Interest
Net payment of interest corresponds to i) "interest payments on lease liabilities" plus ii) "Net payment of interest (not including interest payments on lease liabilities)" and iii) non-recurring financing costs related to refinancing.
Recurring Leveraged Free Cash Flow
The Company considers that the Recurring Leveraged Free Cash Flow is one of the most important indicators of its ability to generate stable and growing cash flows which allows it to create value over time for its shareholders.
Revenues ex pass-through
Revenues ex Pass-through exclude from the Operating Income all elements passed through to customers and advances to customers, business rates, rents and others.
The Group uses Revenues ex pass-through as an operating performance indicator of its business lines, once excluding high-volatility elements that do not contribute to the Group's EBITDA. The Group believes it will be widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders, as a clearer indicator of its performance.

Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures
This report contains, in addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and derived from our financial statements, alternative performance measures ("APMs") as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415en) and other non-IFRS measures ("Non-IFRS Measures").

We use these APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider these APMs and non-IFRS measures to be useful metrics for our management and investors to compare financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows. Nonetheless, these APMs and non-IFRS measures should be considered supplemental information to, and are not meant to substitute IFRS measures. Furthermore, companies in our industry and others may calculate or use APMs and non-IFRS measures differently, thus making them less useful for comparison purposes. |
