Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane (INW) investor relations material

Executive summary

• Q1 2026 results aligned with full-year guidance, reflecting a challenging Italian telecom market with low operator investment, stalled anchor tenant relations, and declining discretionary revenues.

• Anchor tenants Fastweb and TIM issued early termination or non-renewal notices for MSAs, prompting legal action to protect contract integrity; company remains open to business-focused solutions.

• Strategic focus remains on leveraging a high-quality, non-replicable network and infrastructure sharing to drive digitalization and efficiency.

• Net profit declined 11.1% to €81.0 million, reflecting lower EBITDA and increased finance expenses.

• Recurring Free Cash Flow rose 11.5% to €176.2 million, driven by favorable working capital and lower lease payments.

Financial highlights

• Q1 2026 revenues declined by 0.8%–1% year-over-year to €264.1 million, mainly due to reduced discretionary and Smart Infra revenues.

• Normalized revenue growth exceeded 3% year-over-year, driven by CPI-linked contracts and anchor commitments.

• EBITDA fell 1.9% to €239.5 million, with a margin of 90.7%; EBITDAAL margin was 71.9%.

• Net financial debt increased 13.1% year-over-year to €5,024.6 million, with leverage at 5.2x.

• Recurring Free Cash Flow reached €176.2 million in Q1, up 11.5% year-over-year, with a 74% cash conversion rate.

Outlook and guidance

• 2026 guidance: revenues €1,050–1,090 million, EBITDA margin ~90%, EBITDAAL margin ~72%, recurring free cash flow €550–590 million, annual capex ~€200 million, dividend per share at least €0.55, leverage target 5x–6x.

• Guidance does not factor in potential upside from industry normalization or downside from MSA termination, which is considered unlikely.

• Updated business plan expected in H2 2026 as visibility improves.

• Downward revision of 2026–2030 estimates due to anchor tenant conflicts and market challenges.
