An unconditional commitment to our Next Chapter objectives
1 Solid performance of key metrics in the period, leading to EBITDAaL margin improvement
+9.5% new organic PoPs vs. 9M 2023 (+6.3% equivalent)
Total revenues ex-pass throughs €2,903Mn (+7.0% vs. 9M 2023). Organic revenues growth +7.4% (1)
EBITDAaL €1,723Mn (+8.9% vs. 9M 2023). EBITDAaL margin 59% vs. 58% 9M 2023. Organic EBITDAaL growth +9.8% (1)
FCF €326Mn vs. €436Mn in 9M 2023 (2)
On track to meet our 2024 financial outlook - All public targets reiterated
(1) Excluding change of perimeter (disposal of sites), FX and others | 3 |
(2) Includes c.€360Mn from remedies received in the period (c.€630Mn previous year) and €12Mn recurring dividends to minorities paid in the period |
An unconditional commitment to our Next Chapter objectives
2 Prioritizing FCF generation, deleveraging and acceleration of shareholder returns
Ireland process on track, with antitrust review ongoing and closing expected by Q1 2025
Austria process on track, with all approvals obtained and closing by mid-December 2024
Ongoing dialog with credit rating agencies to assess the potential for the acceleration of shareholder returns in 2025 (vs. 2026), whilst keeping our leverage and Investment Grade rating commitments unchanged
We continue reviewing each market and business line with the objective to focus on those with the highest strategic fit / return on capital potential
Disposing non-core assets at accretive valuations may result in earlier / larger shareholder distributions

An unconditional commitment to our Next Chapter objectives
3 Focus on crystallizing value co-creation opportunities with clients and operational excellence
Existing contractual relationship with MasOrange under advanced negotiation (non-bindingarrangements already in place) in the context of their consolidation process in Spain:
Cellnex to provide flexibility to the new entity on its network strategy in exchange for a single contract (larger site perimeter), maturity extension (all PoPs now anchor until 2048 with the option of all-or-nothingrenewal in 2038) and additional services to be provided by Cellnex to meet MasOrange's future densification needs (new PoPs, 5G upgrades, small cells…) with incremental Capex to be re-invoicedto the client (EBITDA benefit to flow into FCF)
Short-termflexibility offered to MasOrange, together with new business under discussions with MNOs and tower efficiencies will be neutral for Cellnex from a cash flow perspective
c.1,700 secondary PoPs from Iliad / Free mobile on Hivory sites renewed for an additional 10 years, protecting current revenue base
c.2,700 ground lease actions executed in 2024. New entity Celland operational from Sep 2024, exclusively dedicated to land acquisition / rights of use / long-term cash advances in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and UK
