THE CORE BUSINESS OF INWIT

INWIT is the largest operator in the wireless infrastructure sector in Italy, with a market share of more than 45%.

INWIT builds and operates digital and shared infrastructures that host the radio transmission equipment of mobile telecom operators, FWA and IoT.

INWIT's infrastructure consists of an integrated ecosystem of macro grids (towers, poles, pylons and related technology facilities) and micro grids (DAS, small cells, repeaters), with an offering that follows technological development, serving all mobile operators.

INWIT's macro grid consists of more than 24 thousand towers, distributed widely throughout the country, with a density of one tower every 3 km. The technological content and strategic nature of the locations make INWIT sites attractive to all telecom market players, present today with more than 54 thousand hosting contracts, for a tenancy ratio of more than 2 hosted customers per site, among the highest in the industry. INWIT continues to invest in expanding and optimizing its network to serve the growing demand for mobile data and the coverage and technology upgrade needs of operators.

INWIT's micro grid complements and supports the macro grid, providing coverage and network capacity over 470 Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) equipment, small cells and repeaters installed in indoor and outdoor locations characterized by high user density and specific dedicated coverage needs.

More than 8 thousand remote units of the micro grid cover sites such as stations, hospitals, shopping malls, offices and manufacturing areas, as well as roads and highways. To date, INWIT covers about 1,000 km of road and highway tunnels that include some of the major national roadways. The demand for dedicated coverage provided by the micro grid is supported by the technology transition from 4G to 5G and the increasing mobile data consumption.

All this makes INWIT central in enabling telecommunications technologies, contributing significantly to overcoming the digital divide and digitizing the country.

THE HISTORY OF INWIT

The story of INWIT began in March 2015, following the spin-off of the "Tower" arm of Telecom Italia. The merger with Vodafone Towers, finalized in late March 2020, significantly transformed its size and strategic profile.

INWIT's activities are directly linked to the emergence and development of mobile telecommunications in Italy at the hands of the two main operators in the sector, TIM and Vodafone Italia. As incumbent and first challenger, the two operators have invested in creating the best networks, distinguished both by the quality of locations and the high standard of infrastructure implementation. INWIT has inherited all of this heritage, along with a wealth of technical and professional knowledge of the highest level, and continues to work to consolidate it, creating a set of systems, processes and knowledge that can create value, serving the rapid and efficient deployment of 5G by operators.

INWIT's growth continues

INWIT'S STRATEGY FOR VALUE CREATION

In Italy, the market and technology environment is rising rapidly due to the steady increase in mobile data consumption and the evolution of wireless technology that is extending 5G coverage and related densification requirements, a key driver for wireless infrastructure development.

The transition to 5G network architecture has major implications for the digital infrastructure industry and towers in particular, as more macro sites and points of presence (macro grids) are needed to address the densification needs of 5G to provide performance, security, and ease of use by the end user anytime, anywhere. In addition, the transition to 5G is a key driver for the development of micro coverage (micro grid), which is needed to optimize coverage and capacity by offering low latency indoors (with Distributed Antenna Systems, DAS) and, in the future, outdoors through small cells.

Interim Management Report as of March 31, 2024

Sharing connections

Added to this is the Next Generation EU, which is planned by the European Union to stimulate post- pandemic COVID-19 recovery and development. The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), within the framework of the Next Generation EU, devotes ample space and substantial resources to the issue of the country's digital innovation by fostering a broad round of investment in digitization and infrastructure. In particular, INWIT was awarded as agent, with TIM and Vodafone, the "Italy 5G Plan - Densification" tender of the NRRP, strengthening its role as an enabler of digitalization, supporting mobile operators to reduce the digital divide, with a view to territorial inclusion and 5G development.

The digital dimension is a necessity for businesses, citizens and public administration in the process of transformation toward more agile and flexible private and public organizational, production and service models.

This context opens up opportunities for tower operators, and INWIT is excellently positioned to play a relevant role in the development of digital infrastructure, supporting telecom operators

The value chain of mobile telecommunications services includes:

  • spaces, owned or leased, where the infrastructures are located;
  • fiber optic connection that connects the site to the operators' "core network";
  • passive infrastructure consisting of poles and pylons usually owned by tower companies and active with antennas owned by operators;
  • free or licensed frequencies, owned by operators;
  • connectivity services, offered by operators, that reach end users, consisting of the state, public companies and private (business customers).

INWIT has a clear positioning within the value chain, leveraging its assets (micro and macro grid) to offer infrastructure services to operators with a sharing model open to all mobile operators, FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) and other customers such as OTMO (Other Than Mobile Operator) and IoT (Internet of Things).

INWIT's Industrial Plan envisions a path of significant organic growth, supported by investments aimed at strengthening the company's macro grid and micro grid infrastructure to better serve operators and contribute to the digital evolution in the market. In particular, new sites and hosting growth are planned for TIM and Vodafone to support the efficient and fast deployment of 5G and the continuous improvement of territorial coverage. In addition, the "neutral host" role allows INWIT to be able to meet the demand of all major market players, both mobile and FWA. Another pillar of the industrial strategy is the rapid development of micro-coverages, particularly DAS distributed antenna systems that enable efficient mobile phone signal management even in busy areas such as stadiums, hospitals, universities, stations, museums or industrial facilities. The development of DAS systems has seen significant momentum over the past two years, thanks to the growth in the number of hostings on the installed infrastructure, the increasing number of equipped locations, and an investment in dedicated roofing along about 1,000 km of road and highway tunnels.

The core business of INWIT

In line with this growth, INWIT's business is increasingly evolving toward the concept of tower as a service, thanks to the ability to offer more integrated services starting with the infrastructure, in line with one of the main circular economy business models, that of product as a service. In fact, INWIT shares its assets and infrastructure, including ensuring their maintenance and technology upgrades, to multiple clients, who use them without owning them. This avoids the need for each operator to build its own infrastructure, resulting in detectable environmental benefits across the entire life cycle of the assets, from the use of materials for construction, to energy use in the operation phase, to the end-of-life phase.

At the same time, towers can already now offer various services to operators, through a transformation from infrastructure for hosting radio transmission systems, to an advanced technology center, where IoT components and communication systems merge and become an integral part of the 5G ecosystem and enabler of all related innovative use cases.

Indeed, INWIT's Industrial Plan outlines an evolution toward increasingly intelligent towers: distributed and protected digital assets that will be able to make a solid contribution to the digital transformation of the country's economic and social activities.

The widespread presence of INWIT's towers enables the provision of advanced services even in areas where connectivity through fiber optics will arrive later, thus anticipating the country's digitization and the reduction of the digital divide. A ubiquity that allows INWIT's towers to be considered natural hubs for carrying out environmental and climate event monitoring as well. In addition, therefore, the Industrial Plan calls for the experimentation and development of adjacent businesses to foster the development of smart cities. Among those with the highest potential in the medium to long term are IoT (Internet of Things) and hosting mini data centers to be placed at the base of our towers for those services that need low latency.

INWIT also has a Sustainability Plan, an integral part of its industrial strategy, through which it aims to make the transition to a sustainable business model, considered an enabler for the Company's growth.

INWIT's market positioning, strengthened by a significant investment plan, allows it to pursue some of the most ambitious organic growth targets in the sector, according to four main guidelines:

  • partnership with anchor tenants for efficient 5G development;
  • proactive business development with OLOs, MNOs, FWAs and others;
  • the acceleration of the network of DAS indoor micro-coverage and large projects (e.g. smart cities);
  • optimisation of leasing costs.

In March 2024, the Board of Directors reviewed and approved INWIT's Industrial Plan for the period 2024- 2026 (the "2024 Industrial Plan"), which confirms the guidelines approved in March 2023 and INWIT's ability to invest to develop its infrastructure by developing key industrial, economic and financial indicators, reflecting the recent evolution of the macroeconomic, industrial and market environment. Confirming the growth path of the Industrial Plan approved in March 2023, the 2024-2026 Industrial Plan forecasts revenues to increase over the period at an average annual "high-single-digit" rate in the range of 1,160- 1,240 million euros in 2026, with EBITDA margin expanding to about 92% and EBITDAaL margin to about 76%. Growth in margins is expected to result in an expansion of cash generation (Recurring Free Cash Flow) in the range of 720-740 million euros in 2026.

The shares are deposited in a securities account held by INWIT S.p.A. with Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.

DIVIDEND POLICY AND SHAREHOLDER REMUNERATION

With the update of the 2021-2023 Industrial Plan in November 2020, INWIT defined its dividend policy. Based on the economic-financial development envisaged in the plan itself, a dividend per share of €0.30 was planned to be recognized in 2021 following the approval of the 2020 budget - and an increase in the subsequent years of the three-year plan of 7.5% annually until the approval of the 2026 budget.

On March 3, 2023, at the time of the approval of the 2023 Industrial Plan, the Board of Directors approved the updated dividend policy for the period 2023-2026, which is expanded with an additional payment of 100 million euros from the 2023 earnings allocation (payment in 2024), confirming a dividend growth rate of 7.5% per year overall.

On April 23, 2024, the General Shareholders' Meeting approved the distribution of a dividend for fiscal year 2023 of approximately 0.48 euros for each of the ordinary shares outstanding on the ex-dividend date, excluding treasury shares in the portfolio.

In March 2023, the Board also resolved to submit to shareholders, for the first time, a form of indirect realization of its investment in the Group through the repurchase and subsequent cancellation of treasury shares, without a concomitant reduction in share capital. The repurchase and subsequent cancellation transactions, which are unitary in nature, will concern a maximum of 31,200,000 ordinary shares, representing about 3.25% of the share capital, and in any case for a maximum amount of 300 million euros. Both are conditional on the favorable vote of the majority of the Group's shareholders, present at the meeting, other than the shareholder or shareholders who hold, even jointly, the majority shareholding, even relative, as long as it exceeds 10% (so-called whitewash) as well as CONSOB's

Results for the first quarter of 2024 show continued growth in all major indicators. The development of our infrastructure continues with the expansion of our site park by about 200 units in the first quarter of 2024, for a total of 24.3 thousand. New hostings contracted in the first quarter of the year numbered about 960, confirming both the steady demand from anchor customers (Tim and Vodafone) and the development of hosting with other customers.

Lease cost efficiency activities continued in the quarter with more than 400 lease renegotiation and/or land purchase transactions.

Economic results for the period show solid revenue growth, up 9.0% from the previous year. This increase is attributable to the further development of contracted hospitality with all major customers, the provision of new services, and the growth of DAS hosting.

Positive revenue performance contributed to EBITDAaL growth of +11.1% over Q1 2023, with the EBITDA Margin improving from 70.9% to 72.2%. Profit for the period, at 89.7 million euros, increased by 8.3% from the previous year.

Recurring Free Cash Flow of 150.0 million euros registered a growth of 9.7% over the previous year, confirming the strong cash generation of the business.

Net cash generation showed a positive balance of 17.5 million euros in the first quarter of 2024 after investments of 91.6 million euros (+60.1% over the previous year). The Group's net financial position of 4,190.0 million euros showed a slight increase of 3.2% from the previous year. However, leverage, represented by the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio, improved further from 4.7x to 4.5x due to the increase in EBITDA.

MANAGEMENT EVENTS

The main management events since the beginning of the year involving Inwit can be summarized as follows:

  • On January 8, 2024, INWIT, formalized the option to extend from April 2025 to April 2027 the maturity term of the 500 million euros sustainability-linked Term Loan.
    The option allows the extension of the loan maturity term at the same economic conditions and with the same lenders. The sustainability-linked Term Loan, a floating-rate instrument linked to specific sustainability indices, had been signed in April 2021 with an original term of four years and with a pool of leading financial institutions.
    The transaction allows INWIT to further improve its debt structure by extending maturities, shifting the first refinancing need to 2026.
    The company has BB+ and BBB- ratings assigned by Standard and Poor's and Fitch Ratings, respectively, with stable outlooks from both agencies.
  • Within the framework of the authorization granted by the shareholders' meeting of April 18, 2023 ("Shareholders' Meeting") and the clearance received from Consob, Inwit initiated on March 8, 2024, the second tranche of share buyback (the "Second Tranche"), which follows a first tranche of purchases executed between June 15, 2023 and February 8, 2024 with the purchase of 13,453,175 shares for a gross equivalent of approximately 150 million euros.
    As stated in the press release of April 18, 2023, the Shareholders' Meeting authorized the Board of Directors
