What are Cellnex's key sustainability achievements in 2025? 33 Definitions Please see our most recent Integrated Annual Report for a comprehensive explanation of APMs Term Definition Adjusted EBITDA 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 is an APM. Please see slide 37 for certain information on the limitations of APMs 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin is an APM. Please see slide 37 for certain information on the limitations of APMs Average Revenue Per Tower (ARPT) It is calculated as dividing the revenues ex Pass-through associated to the Tower business unit by the number of telecom sites at the end of the reporting period. Tower 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 € thousand. ARPT is and APM. Please see slide 37 for certain information on the limitations of APMs 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. Anchor tenant/customer Anchor customers are telecom operators from which the Company has acquired assets Backlog Represents management's estimate of the amount of contracted revenues that Cellnex expects will result in future revenue from certain existing contracts. This amount is based on a number of assumptions and estimates, including assumptions related to the performance of a number of the existing contracts at a particular date but do not include adjustments for inflation. One of the main assumptions relates to the contract renewals, and in accordance with the consolidated financial statements, contracts for services have renewable terms including, in some cases, 'all or nothing' clauses and in some instances may be cancelled under certain circumstances by the customer at short notice without penalty. Build-to-suit (BTS) Capex 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. BTS Capex is an APM. Please see slide 37 for certain information on the limitations of APMs Customer ratio The customer ratio relates to the average number of operators in each site.

In the 5G/IoT network ecosystem, this definition of PoP could be reviewed as new customer configurations might also be considered a PoP, especially in relation to new site-adjacent asset classes, subject again to the management's view.

These financial measures that qualify as APMs and non-IFRS measures have been calculated with information from Cellnex Group; however those financial measures are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework nor have been audited or reviewed by our auditors. 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 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.
