Robust and consistent
financial performance
Free Cash Flow reflects a clear turning point, supported by operational performance and lower
capex intensity (€118Mn vs €-66Mn in Q1 2025)
Free Cash Flow
Revenue and cost structure naturally hedged against inflation
Balance sheet insulated from rate volatility: ample cash and undrawn RCF lines providing funding optionality to avoid unfavourable market windows. 2026 maturities already funded

Revenue Cost Rates Liquidity
Inflation Tailwind
Energy: Full Pass-Through
Fixed-Rate Debt Structure
Liquidity & Funding Flexibility
65% of revenues linked to inflation and 35% with fixed escalators: Higher inflation will benefit our top line growth
Net inflation exposure is positive
Energy costs are largely contractually passed through to tenants, with c.80% directly passed through and the remaining and Residual exposure hedged through forward contracts and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
Opex growth structurally below inflation: disciplined cost management drives margin expansion benefiting from strong operating leverage
Majority of debt at fixed rates (78%)
Variable debt (22%): limited risk, as it is linked to 1-month Euribor, which has shown low volatility
Average maturity of 4.3 years: good refinancing profile spread over various years
2026 maturities fully funded: Liquidity of c.€6.0Bn: c.€3.0Bn cash and c.€3.0Bn undrawn credit lines
Committed revolving credit facilities: undrawn backup lines available if market conditions are unfavourable
Selective issuance strategy: ability to time bond markets opportunistically, preserving cost of debt

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.

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).

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. It is obtained by dividing the number of PoPs by the average number of Telecom Infrastructure Services sites in the year |
DAS | A distributed antenna system is a network of spatially separated antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or structure agreed with clients |

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.

PoP (Point of Presence) | A customer configuration based on the most typical technological specifications for a site within which the active equipment and antennas are owned by the customer or by Cellnex. Furthermore, a PoP must also have an associated income. The definition is always subject to management's view, independently of the technology used or type of service such customer provides. 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. |

Non-IFRS and Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)
This presentation 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"). 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.
For further details on the definition and explanation on the use of APMs and Non-IFRS Measures please see the section on "Alternative performance measures" of Cellnex Telecom, S.A. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Consolidated Interim Directors' Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 (prepared in accordance with IAS 34), published on 31st July 2025. Additionally, for further details on the calculation and reconciliation between APMs and Non-IFRS Measures and any applicable management indicators and the financial data of the corresponding reported period, please see the backup excel file published today by Cellnex Telecom, S.A. All documents are available on Cellnex website (https://www.cellnex.com).
