Therefore, these financial statements do not include all the information required in an annual financial statement and, consequently, they must be read jointly with the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024 included in form 20F 2024, which can be consulted at the Company´s website ( https:// https://inversores.telecom.com.ar/en/quarterly-earnings.html ). It should be noted that the annual financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of December 31, 2024, applying the guidance in IAS 29. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of June 30, 2025, applying the guidance in IAS 29. (See Note 1.d). We have not recast our annual financial statements to measure them in terms of current pesos as of June 30, 2025, the most recent financial period for which consolidated financial statements are available. Therefore, the annual financial statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not comparable. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the same accounting policies as in the most recent annual financial statements, except for those policies incorporated due to the acquisition of TMA: measurement of financial assets: assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in profit or loss, within "Other financial results, net". When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss, Investment properties, which is recorded initially at cost, and then at cost less accumulated depreciation, and comprise primarily land and buildings that are not occupied for its own operations, and the depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis for the estimated useful life of 50 years, (calculated in accordance with technical studies, periodically reviewed) and termination benefits plans: additionally to what is mentioned in Note 3.o) to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024, Telecom recognizes costs for a restructuring according to IAS 37 (i.e., it has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring, and it has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring) and when involves the payment of terminations benefits. These termination benefit plans correspond to the TMA subsidiary and are recognized in the line "Salaries and social security payables" in the consolidated statements of financial position. In addition to the termination benefits plans in effect at the time of the acquisition of TMA, during the six- and three-month periods ending June 30, 2025 this subsidiary recognized a new restructuring plan, which had an impact of $52,314 million on results, recognized as "Employee benefit expenses and severance payments" for the six and three-month periods ended on June 30, 2025. The balance of the mentioned termination plan currently in execution amounted to $18,830 million as of June 30, 2025.

According to the Agreement, a special majority with the consent of both shareholders is required to decide on key business and corporate matters. Therefore, Opalker alone does not have the ability to use its power over the investee to influence its returns, and exercises joint control, accounting for its investment as a joint venture from the date the share transfer transaction was completed, which value as of June 30, 2025, is $0.2 million. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires that the Company's Management make estimates that affect the figures disclosed in the financial statements or its complementary information. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in millions of Argentine pesos, on an accrual basis of accounting (except for the consolidated statement of cash flows), based on historical cost, except for certain financial assets and liabilities (includes DFI) that are measured at fair value and are prepared in current currency as of June 30, 2025. The figures as of December 31, 2024, and for the six and three-month periods ended on June 30, 2024, which are disclosed in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes, are a result of restating the financial statements as of such dates to values in current currency as of June 30, 2025. This is as a consequence of the restatement process of the financial information described in point d). As disclosed in Note 16.a) to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has consolidated TMA as from February 24, 2025, and, therefore, the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2025, and the results for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, are not comparable to the comparative information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, were authorized for issuance and approved by resolution of the Board of Directors' meeting held on August 11, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all disclosures required under IAS 34. Some additional disclosures required by the LGS and/or by the CNV have been also included. Segment information The Executive Committee and the CEO have a strategic and operational vision of Telecom as a single business unit, according to the current regulatory context of the converged ICT Services industry (adding to the same segment both the activities related to the mobile services, internet services, cable television and fixed and data services, services governed by the same regulatory framework of ICT Services). To exercise its functions, both the Executive Committee and the CEO receive periodically the economic-financial information of Telecom Argentina and its subsidiaries (in current currency as of the date of each transaction), that is prepared as a single segment and evaluate the evolution of business as a unit of generation of results, administrating the resources in a unique way to achieve the objectives. Regarding costs, they are not specifically allocated to a type of service, considering that the Company has a single payroll and operating expenses that affect all services in general (non-specific). Further, decisions on CAPEX affect all the types of services provided by Telecom in Argentina and are not allocated specifically to one of them. Following the acquisition of TMA, dated February 24, 2025 (see Note 16), the Company identified a new reportable segment, "ICT Services provided in Argentina - TMA Networks" corresponding to the provision of mobile and fixed telephony services, fixed broadband, and video services on a nationwide scale in Argentina, using its own networks, with its own infrastructure. The subsidiary TMA is managed as a separate business unit, and therefore, the Executive Committee and the CEO review its economic and financial information (stated in historic currency at the transaction date) separately. Additionally, Telecom, through Micro Sistemas, develops activities in the fintech industry in Argentina. Telecom also carries out activities abroad (Paraguay, USA, Uruguay and Chile). The operations that Telecom develops through Micro Sistemas, and those developed abroad, are not analyzed as a separate segment by the Executive Committee and the CEO, considering that they are not considered as individually significant. These operations do not meet the aggregation criteria established by the standard to be grouped within the "ICT Services provided in Argentina- Telecom Networks" segment and considering that they do not exceed any of the quantitative thresholds identified in the standard to qualify as reportable segments, they are grouped within the category "Other segments". The Executive Committee and the CEO continue to monitor these businesses to evaluate the way its performance is reviewed and, eventually, its consideration as a separate reportable segment provided it complies with the requirements established by IFRS Accounting Standards to that effect. As a result, segments as of June 30, 2025, are the following: ICT Services provided in Argentina - Telecom Networks: Corresponds to the operations carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries located in Argentina (excluding TMA) engaged in the provision of ICT services. ICT Services provided in Argentina - TMA Networks: Corresponds to the operations carried out by the subsidiary TMA as from the acquisition date. Other segments: Corresponds to the operations for a) ICT services provided aboard (Paraguay, USA, Uruguay and Chile) and b) the development of activities in the fintech industry, through the subsidiaries Micro Sistemas and Personal Envíos in Argentina and Paraguay, respectively. The Executive Committee and the CEO evaluate the profitability for each reportable segment based on the measure of the Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our net (loss) income less income tax, financial results, earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets. Presented below is the segment financial information as it is analyzed by the Executive Committee and the CEO for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively: Consolidated Income Statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 ICT Services provided in Argentina -

On the other hand, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to the Controlling Company for the period by the weighted average number of common shares issued and to be potentially issued at the end of the period. Since the Company has no dilutive potential common stock outstanding, basic and dilutive earnings per share amounts do not differ. For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the weighted average number of shares outstanding amounted to 2,153,688,011.

Information on legal claims and contingent liabilities by their nature is detailed below: Labor contingencies 140,567 Tax contingencies 5,315 Civil and regulatory contingencies 36,593 Total 182,475 Labor contingencies mainly derive from: Joint and several liabilities in labor matters; Occupational accidents and diseases; and Salary differences and other compensation payments. Tax contingencies mainly derive from claims from ARCA, provincial tax authorities and municipalities. In this case, they primarily relate to: Municipal fees; and National and provincial taxes. Civil and regulatory contingencies relate to civil, commercial, administrative litigation, regulatory, and other matters. In this case, they primarily relate to: damages; regulatory claims; claims relating to accountability; and fines imposed by regulatory authorities. Given the nature of the risks covered by these provisions, it is not possible to precisely determine the probable dates of potential payments. In addition to the aforementioned contingencies, there are other claims filed against TMA by different customer associations related to the industry and market common issues, some of which are in their initial stages. Considering the time elapsed since the acquisition, these claims are being analysed for the purpose of making an appropriate estimation and valuation to be considered in the final allocation of the PPA within the timeframes provided by IFRS 3, given that these estimations involve significant judgments that require more time and additional information for their final allocation. However, based on this preliminary assessment, the final impact of these contingencies, if they occur, is not expected to significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operation or liquidity.
