NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a) Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026, and for the six and three month periods ended on June 30, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

 

Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required in an annual financial statement and, consequently, they must be read jointly with the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 included in the Form 20F 2025, which can be consulted at the Company´s website (https://inversores.telecom.com.ar/en/quarterly-earnings.html). It should be noted that the annual consolidated financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of December 31, 2025, applying the guidance in IAS 29. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been measured in terms of current pesos as of June 30, 2026, applying the guidance in IAS 29. (See Note 1.d).

 

We have not recast our annual consolidated financial statements to measure them in terms of current pesos as of June 30, 2026, the most recent financial period for which consolidated financial statements are available. Therefore, the annual consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

As of June 30, 2026, the following are the subsidiaries included in the consolidation process and the respective equity interest owned by Telecom Argentina:

(b) Included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements until May 28, 2026, when they completed their liquidation process.
(c) In June 2026, Opalker acquired an additional 5% equity interest in Ubiquo Chile SpA, increasing its ownership interest to 100%. This transaction represents a transaction between controlling and non-controlling shareholders in equity, refer to the Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in Equity.
(d) Company created on April 24, 2026. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, this subsidiary is a dormant entity.

 

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 supplementary 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, based on historical cost restated, except for certain financial assets and liabilities (including DFI) that are measured at fair value and are prepared in current currency as of June 30, 2026.

 

The figures as of December 31, 2025 and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2025, which are disclosed in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes, are a result of restating the consolidated financial statements as of such dates, according to what is described in section d). When applicable, certain reclassifications were made for comparative purposes.

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

As disclosed in Note 29 to our annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, the Company has consolidated TMA as from February 24, 2025 (the “Acquisition date”), and, therefore, the results for the six month period ended June 30, 2026, are not comparable to the comparative information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain, in addition to all disclosures required under IAS 34, some disclosures required by the LGS and/or by the CNV.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026, were authorized for issuance and approved by resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting held on August 7, 2026.

 

b) Segment information

 

The Executive Committee and the CEO have a strategic and operational vision of Telecom as a single business unit in Argentina, according to the current regulatory context of the converged ICT Services industry (adding to the same segment the activities related to 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 located in Argentina except TMA (stated in historic currency at the transaction date), 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 Telecom Argentina 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 Argentina and its subsidiaries located in Argentina except TMA and are not allocated specifically to one of them.

 

Additionally, TMA is identified as a different reportable segment, “ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network” 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. Regarding costs, they are not specifically allocated to a type of service, considering that TMA 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 TMA and are not allocated specifically to one of them.

 

Additionally, Telecom carries out activities abroad (Paraguay, USA, Uruguay and Chile).

 

The operations that Telecom develops 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 – Personal Network" and “ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network” segments 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". For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, the “Other segments” category also included fintech activities in Argentina carried out through Micro Sistemas, as such activities did not meet the criteria to be reported as a separate operating segment.

 

The Executive Committee and the CEO continue to monitor these businesses to evaluate the manner in which 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, 2026, and 2025, are the following:

 

- ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network.
- ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network.
- Other segments.

 

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 gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and Intangibles Assets, reviewing this information in the currency of the date of each transaction.

 

Presented below is the Segment financial information for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

c) Net Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Controlling Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 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 dilutive potential common shares at the closing of the period. Since Telecom Argentina has no dilutive potential common stock outstanding, diluted earnings per share and basic earnings per share are the same.

 

For the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 the weighted average number of shares outstanding amounted to 2,153,688,011.

 

d) Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies

 

Since Argentina has been considered a high-inflation economy for accounting purposes in accordance with IAS 29 since July 1, 2018, the financial information expressed in Argentine pesos is restated in current currency of June 30, 2026.

(1) The Mutual funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents and Investments. The Government bonds are included in Investments.

(2) The fair value is based on information obtained from active markets and corresponds to quoted market prices as of period-end. A market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

(3) The fair value was determined by the variation between the quoted values of certain public securities in foreign currency and Argentine pesos.

(4) In 2025, the subsidiary Micro Sistemas, as part of its liquidity management strategy, derecognized its consumer loan portfolio through a non-recourse sale, transferring the related contractual rights in a manner that met the requirements for derecognition under IFRS 9. As the transfer was carried out on a non-recourse basis, the Company retained no continuing involvement and therefore has no future exposure to credit risk. These financial assets had been measured at FVPL. The fair value of the portfolio sold was determined using a discounted cash-flow approach, applying the discount rate specific to each loan.

(5) The fair value of financial instruments that are not negotiated in active markets is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of market observable information, when available, and rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the Company. The techniques used for the measurement of financial instruments are detailed below: a) DFI for forward purchases of US dollars, corresponds to the variation between the market prices at the end of the fiscal year and the time of agreement.

 

In relation to the fair values set forth above, as of June 30, 2026, there were no changes in the methods and assumptions used with respect to what was reported in Note 23 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

The Company also has certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value for which the book value approximates their fair value, except for:

 

Borrowings

 

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of borrowings is as follows:

 

    Carrying Value     Fair Value  
Notes     4,717,363       4,881,451  
Other borrowings     886,052       863,274  
      5,603,415       5,744,725  

 

The fair value of the loans was assessed as follows:

 

a) The fair value of Notes traded in active markets was measured based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. As a result, its valuation classifies as Level 1.

b) The fair value of Notes that are not traded in an active market was measured based on quotes provided by first-tier financial entities, so their valuation qualifies as Level 2.

c) For the rest of the borrowings, the fair values were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate, so as they are classified as level 3.

 

NOTE 12 – PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

 

The Company has entered into various purchase commitments with domestic and foreign suppliers amounting to approximately $2,383,910 million (of which $370,424 million corresponds to Fixed and intangible assets commitments) and $1,827,548 million (of which $455,485 million corresponds to Fixed and intangible assets commitments) as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These purchase commitments include those that contain “take or pay” clauses, which force the buyer to purchase a quantity of a product or service in a period, usually annually, or, alternatively, to pay that amount even if it has not been taken or accepted to receive it.

 

The table below details commitments within one year and beyond one year:

 

    June 30,     December 31,

The transactions discussed above were made on arm length transaction basis.

NOTE 17 – CONDITIONAL ANTITRUST RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION OF TMA (“THE ACQUISITION”)

 

Further to the information disclosed in Note 29 – Business Acquisition - TMA - Regulatory Impact of the Acquisition, included in the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, the Company provides the following information concerning subsequent regulatory developments and the status of the approvals required in connection with the acquisition.

 

On June 17, 2026, the ANC issued a resolution pursuant to Article 14(b) of Law No. 27,442 conditioning the definitive approval of the acquisition of TMA and its subsidiaries on compliance with a series of structural and behavioral remedies (the “Acquisition Approval Resolution”).

 

The principal structural remedies include the transfer to an independent purchaser approved by the competent authorities of a minimum of 6,000,000 active mobile customers, comprising 4,000,000 customers in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area and 2,000,000 customers in the remainder of Argentina. The composition of the customer base must include an appropriate customer mix consistent with the competitive objectives of the Acquisition Approval Resolution. The customer transfer must be implemented together with the transfer and return of the related spectrum usage rights required under the Acquisition Approval Resolution and applicable ENACOM procedures.

 

F-34

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

The Acquisition Approval Resolution also requires the transfer of 211,400 residential internet customer portfolios and depending on the locality and applicable transfer modality, certain related access-network assets or wholesale-access arrangements. In addition, it establishes temporary and ongoing obligations relating to network access, national and international roaming, co-location, access to operational and business-support systems, corporate and wholesale services (together “service arrangement”), preservation of the assets to be transferred, monitoring and regulatory supervision.

 

The Acquisition Approval Resolution instructed Telecom Argentina to (i) complete the divestiture within 18 months from the date of the resolution, subject to extensions of up to 6 months each, provided the total period does not exceed 24 months, and (ii) provide the ANC proposed potential purchasers for each package of assets within 60 business days.

 

On July 15, 2026, the Competition Tribunal, the decision-making body of ANC ( the “Tribunal”) approved the appointed monitoring agent responsible for overseeing and supervising compliance with the measures established.

 

Status of implementation

 

As of June 30, 2026, Telecom Argentina was analysing the operational, technical, commercial, legal and financial steps required to comply with the Acquisition Approval Resolution. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements no potential purchaser or offer had been approved by the Tribunal or considered by the Company's Board of Directors, nor had the details of the assets and rights to be transferred or any potential agreements related to the required divestiture been approved or considered.

 

The final packages and proposed purchasers will be subject to the applicable review and approval processes, including the technical intervention of ENACOM and supervision by the Tribunal and the appointed monitoring agent.

 

Impairment assessment

 

The issuance of the Acquisition Approval Resolution represented an impairment indicator for purposes of IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, Telecom Argentina identified the need to reassess the recoverable amount estimate of the CGU TMA Networks, based on the assumption that the effects of the Acquisition Approval Resolution will impact solely the projected future cash flows attributable to that CGU.

 

The recoverable amounts were determined based on value in use, using assumptions reflecting information available as of June 30, 2026, and the current condition of the relevant assets and CGU. The analysis considered, among other factors, the potential impact of the structural and behavioral requirements of the Acquisition Approval Resolution, the expected implementation timetable, potential changes in customer-related cash flows, spectrum and network utilization, acquisition synergies, the transitional and continuing service arrangements required and the remaining commercial terms arising from the required divestitures.

 

Considering that, as of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's Board of Directors has not approved, selected, or designated any potential purchaser, operator, or specific counterparty, no formal decision has been made regarding the implementation of any alternative. For purposes of preparing the impairment assessment, Management has considered an economically viable scenario for the potential entry of a new competitor into the market. The assumptions considered may be modified based on future decisions of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Based on this assessment, the recoverable amounts of the CGU TMA Networks exceeded their respective carrying amounts and, accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized as of June 30, 2026.

 

The most significant assumptions used in the impairment assessment included: i) mix of customers and revenue assumptions, that reflect the expected decrease in revenues to comply with the remedies imposed by the ANC and ii) service arrangement pricing assumptions, that reflect the expected revenues from the provision of services required under the ANC remedies.

 

The Company has considered the following sensitivity analysis of the recoverability test, evaluating reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions:

 

·     Customers and revenue assumptions: Given an additional reduction in revenues of 10%, derived from a change in the mix of customers to be transferred, while the rest of the assumptions remain stable, no impairment of Fixed and intangible assets should be recognized.

 

·     Given a decrease of 10% in revenues from the provision of services arrangement, while the rest of the premises remain stable, no impairment of Fixed and intangible assets should be recognized.

 

F-35

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

Assets held for sale

 

As of June 30, 2026, Telecom Argentina had not classified the assets potentially subject to the required divestitures as held for sale because the specific disposal groups had not been sufficiently defined and all of the criteria for classification under IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, including availability for immediate sale in their present condition and a highly probable sale, had not been satisfied as of that date.

 

Telecom Argentina will reassess the IFRS 5 classification criteria as the divestiture packages are defined, active marketing and purchaser-selection processes progress, and the applicable regulatory approvals and commercial terms are obtained.

 

Uncertainty regarding the ultimate financial effect

 

The ultimate financial effect of the Acquisition Approval Resolution will depend on matters that had not been resolved as of June 30, 2026, including the identity and capabilities of the purchaser or purchasers, the customer portfolios and customer mix transferred, the specific spectrum rights transferred or returned, the infrastructure and other assets included in each package, the consideration received, the timing of the transfers, the network-sharing and transition-service arrangements, systems and capacity requirements, separation costs, tax consequences, and the future effects of the behavioral remedies.

 

Accordingly, Telecom Argentina is currently unable to provide a reliable estimate of the aggregate financial effect of the Acquisition Approval Resolution. At this stage, the Company cannot reasonably predict the nature, timing or magnitude of any potential impact on its future revenues, operating results, financial position, cash flows, customer base, spectrum holdings, goodwill or other intangible assets, as such impacts will depend on future developments that remain uncertain.

 

Telecom Argentina will update its accounting assessments and disclosures as the divestiture packages, proposed purchasers, regulatory approvals, commercial terms and implementation arrangements become sufficiently developed.

 

NOTE 18 – RECENT DEVELOPMENTS CORRESPONDING TO THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

 

a) Agreement between Telecom Argentina, MFH and Micro Sistemas with Banco Macro S.A.

 

On January 22, 2026, Telecom Argentina and its direct and indirect subsidiaries MFH and Micro Sistemas have entered into a framework agreement with Banco Macro S.A. (“Banco Macro”) aimed at fostering the growth and expansion of the business of Micro Sistemas, a payment services provider operating under the “Personal Pay” brand.

 

This strategic alliance will enable the development of a differentiated and comprehensive value proposition for customers operating on the “Personal Pay” platform, while also expanding the range of financial products and services offered to a broader customer base, supported by Banco Macro’s leading position in the financial sector.

 

For these purposes, Banco Macro will contribute its expertise in financial products, while Micro Sistemas will contribute its extensive base of active customers and recurring use cases with genuine transaction activity, thereby promoting a more efficient and broader market with customers at its core.

 

Pursuant to this agreement, Banco Macro made a capital contribution and, therefore, subscribed for shares representing 50% of the share capital and voting rights of Micro Sistemas, for an amount in pesos equivalent to US$75 million.

 

As a result of this transaction, Telecom no longer holds the majority of the voting rights required to exercise control over Micro Sistemas and, accordingly, when control of a subsidiary is lost, a gain or loss is recognised on the portion of the retained interest in addition to the gain or loss on the portion no longer owned (full gain recognition) of $48,699 million, which is presented under the line item “Earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost” in the unaudited condensed consolidated income statements.

 

Consequently, as of January 22, 2026, Telecom’s interest in Micro Sistemas amounts to 50%, and given that joint control exists, the investment in this company is measured and presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a joint venture.

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

The transaction is subject to the corresponding approval by the National Antitrust Authority, in accordance with applicable regulations.

 

b) Regulatory Framework – Universal Service Fund (FFSU)

 

With reference to the information disclosed in Notes 2.d) ii) 1) and 29 to our annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, on January 22, 2026 Telecom Argentina and TMA expressed their intention to adhere to the payment plan established by ENACOM, with the purpose of aligning its situation within the framework set forth by Resolution No. 3/2026 with respect to the matters included therein.

 

On March 30, 2026, Telecom Argentina and TMA received notification of the final amount of the debt, which was assessed in terms of its economic convenience, taking advantage of the opportunity for a significant reduction in the interest applied to the recognized debts contemplated under the regime. Consequently, Telecom Argentina and TMA confirmed their final adherence to the Payment Facilities Plan.

 

In this regard, on April 6, 2026, total payments of $24,739 million ($25,748 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) and $30,107 million ($31,335 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) were made, corresponding to Telecom Argentina and TMA, respectively. Of this total, $21,670 million ($22,554 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) and $28,825 million ($30,000 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) attributable to Telecom Argentina and TMA, respectively, are related to FFSU and include $8,239 million ($8,575 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) and $10,246 million ($10,664 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) in interest, respectively. The remaining payments correspond to balance differences identified during audit processes and to fines arising from sanctions imposed under compliance with regulatory requirements, as well as other costs. This thereby resolves the contingency identified in Notes 2.d) ii) 1) and 29 of the annual consolidated financial statements.

 

c) Income tax - Actions for recourse filed with the Tax Authority – Telecom Argentina

 

In relation to the information disclosed in Note 13 to our annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, regarding fiscal year 2009, during the period the principal tax liability plus accrued interest from ARCA was settled.

 

Consequently, Telecom Argentina received $453 million ($471 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026), of which $98 million ($102 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) correspond to the claimed principal and $355 million ($369 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026) correspond to interest.

 

d) 5G spectrum allocation in Paraguay

 

In June 2026, CONATEL launched Tender No. 01/2026 – Mobile Broadband for the granting of licenses to provide cellular mobile telephony, internet access, and data transmission services in the 2,300 MHz and 3,500 MHz frequency bands. The tender contemplates the provision of services under 5G and establishes a maximum spectrum cap of 200 MHz per service provider or economic group.

 

On July 16, 2026, Núcleo was awarded Lot “I” (3,700-3,750 MHz Band) and Lot “J” (3,750-3,800 MHz Band), equivalent to US$1 million of which US$0.7 million was paid on July 14, 2026 (the bidding date), and US$0.3 million was paid on August 3, 2026.

 

The award of the right to use the frequency band will imply the capitalization as intangible assets.

 

e) Provisions of the Telecom Argentina Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ meeting

 

At the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 29, 2026, the shareholders of Telecom Argentina decided, among other:

 

(i) To approve the Board of Directors’ proposal in connection with the Accumulated retained losses as of December 31, 2025 for $(144,818) million in current currency as of June 30, 2026: (a) absorb the amount of $144,818 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026 to “Voluntary reserve to maintain the Company's level of capital expenditures and its current solvency level”; and (b) to reclassify the amount of $134,948 million in current currency as of June 30, 2026 from “Voluntary reserve to maintain the Company's level of capital expenditures and its current solvency level” and to be charged against the “Contributed Surplus”; and

 

(ii) to delegate on the Board of Directors the power to reverse, before December 31, 2026, the “Voluntary reserve to maintain the Company's level of capital expenditures and its current solvency level” in an amount that allows distribution of dividends in cash or in non-cash or any combination of both options, for up to the maximum amount of distribution of US$ 300 million.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2026

(In millions of Argentine pesos in current currency – except per share data in Argentine pesos in current currency - or as expressly indicated)

 

1. General considerations

 

As provided under Resolution No. 777 issued by the CNV on December 28, 2018, this operating and financial review and prospects discloses the comparative balances set forth below, restated to current currency as of June 30, 2026.

 

The table below shows the evolution of the National CPI and the Banco Nación U.S. dollar exchange rate used for the preparation of this operating and financial review and prospects, discussed in Note 1.d) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

 

    As of June 30,
2025
    As of December
 31, 2025
    As of June 30,

Annual   39.4%     31.5%     33.5%  
Accumulated six months   15.1%     n/a     16.8%  
Accumulated three months   6.0%     n/a     6.8%  
                   
Banco Nación US$/$ exchange rate   1,205.0     1,455.0     1,482.0

Annual   32.1%     41.0%     23.0%  
Accumulated six months   16.8%     n/a     1.9%  
Accumulated three months   12.2%     n/a     7.2%  

 

As disclosed in Note 29 to our annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, the Company has consolidated TMA as from February 24, 2025 (the “Acquisition date”), and, therefore, the results for the six month period ended June 30, 2026, are not comparable to the comparative information presented in this Operating and financial review and prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)     1,816,819       1,345,030       471,789       35.1  

 

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, defined as our net income, less income tax, financial results (Financial results from borrowings and Other financial results, net), earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets. For further information on the use of adjusted EBITDA, see “Adjusted EBITDA”.

 

In 1H26 net income for the period amounted to P$869,038 million compared to a net loss of P$100,900 million, representing 17.1% and (2.3)% of consolidated revenues in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The increase in net income in 1H26 was mainly due to an increase in financials gains and higher earnings from associates and joint ventures, and gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost for P$937,535 million and an increase of P$439,123 million in operating income, partially offset by a higher income tax expense of P$406,720 million.

 

Net income attributable to controlling company amounted to P$853,902 million in 1H26 compared to a net loss of P$111,902 million in 1H25.

 

It should be noted that the variations are partially explained by the fact that 1H26 includes the full results for TMA for the period, whereas 1H25 includes only the results from the acquisition date. The results of 1H26 contain an income of P$198,233 million corresponding to the consolidation of TMA’s results (excluding the effects of intercompany transactions), while in 1H25 such consolidation generated a loss of P$18,378 million.

 

During 1H26 revenues increased 13.4% compared to 1H25, amounting to P$5,075,511 million compared to P$4,477,637 million in 1H25. The increase in revenues was mainly due to effect of the consolidation of TMA’s results of P$584,611 million (excluding the effects of intercompany transactions) when comparing 1H26 for the full period with 1H25 from the Acquisition date. As a result of the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, revenues included a restatement effect of P$284,914 million and P$1,275,076 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

  

Total operating costs without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets totaled P$3,258,692 million in 1H26, representing an increase of P$126,085 million or 4.0% compared to 1H25. The increase was mainly due to the effect of the consolidation of TMA’s results of P$332,123 million (excluding the effects of intercompany transactions) when comparing 1H26 for the full period with 1H25 from the Acquisition date. As a result of the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, the restatement effect included in operating costs without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets amounted to P$232,582 million and P$921,407 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

For further information regarding revenue and operating costs without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets see “Explanations by segments” below.

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets amounted to P$1,142,616 million in 1H26, representing an increase of P$32,666 million or 2.9% compared to 1H25.

 

The increase was mainly due to the effect of the consolidation of TMA’s results of P$53,408 million when comparing 1H26 for the full period with 1H25 from the Acquisition date. Excluding this impact, depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets decreased mainly due to the effect of those assets that ended their useful life after June 30, 2025 and the decrease in fixed assets from such date, partially offset by the depreciation and amortization of CAPEX after that date.

 

As a result of the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, the restatement effect included in depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets amounted to P$682,277 million and P$899,964 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

Operating income

 

Operating income in 1H26 amounted to P$674,203 million compared to P$235,080 million in 1H25. Operating income represented 13.3% and 5.3% of consolidated revenues in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The increase is partially explained by the effect of the consolidation of TMA’s results of P$199,080 million when comparing 1H26 for the full period with 1H25 from the Acquisition date. Additionally, the improvement in the operating margin is mainly attributable to an increase in the Adjusted EBITDA, which reached 35.8% of our consolidated revenues in 1H26, compared to 30.0% in 1H25. For further details, see “Explanations by segments” below. In addition, an improvement is observed in the Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets margin over consolidated revenues, which decreased to 22.5% in 1H26, compared to 24.8% in 1H25, as a result of the effects described in section “Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets” above.

Total financial results, net     614,769       (287,613 )     902,382       n/a  

 

Telecom incurred a net financial gain of P$614,769 million in 1H26, compared to a net financial loss of P$287,613 million in 1H25.

 

The variation in net financial results in 1H26 was mainly driven by a higher gain from foreign exchange differences, measured in real terms, of P$830,350 million. While the Company maintained a higher level of U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings in 2026, increasing its exposure to exchange rate movements, the foreign exchange impact was favorable during the period, mainly due to the effects of the first quarter of 2026. This reflects the fact that the U.S. dollar appreciated only 1.9% against the Argentine peso, compared to 16.8% in 1H25, while inflation remained at comparable levels (16.8% versus 15.1%). Consequently, foreign exchange differences shifted from a negative impact in the comparative period to a gain in 1H26.

 

Additionally, positive RECPAM increased by P$111,240 million and there was a higher gain from changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL of P$19,898 million, resulting from a higher volume of Government bonds and Notes acquired in 1H26, together with an improvement in their market prices in real terms.

 

These factors were partially offset by higher interest on borrowings of P$59,203 million, higher losses from financial discounts on assets, debts and others of P$9,192 million, and a lower gain from remeasurement in borrowings of P$4,342 million.

 

Additionally, the effect of the consolidation of TMA’s results amounted to a loss of P$5,140 million when comparing 1H26 for the full period with 1H25 from the Acquisition date.

 

Income tax expense

 

Telecom’s income tax includes the following effects: (i) the current tax payable pursuant to tax legislation applicable to Telecom, and (ii) the effect of applying the deferred tax method on temporary differences arising out of the Company’s asset and liability valuation according to tax versus financial accounting criteria, including the income tax inflation effect.

 

Income tax expense amounted to P$452,758 million in 1H26 compared to P$46,038 million in 1H25. It includes the following effects: (i) current tax expenses, Telecom generated a P$491,212 million tax expense in 1H26 (compared to P$298,269 million in 1H25), (ii) regarding the deferred tax in 1H26, Telecom recorded a deferred tax benefit of P$38,454 million compared to a benefit of P$252,231 million in 1H25.

 

Additionally, the effect of the consolidation of TMA’s results amounted to a lower expense of P$22,671 million when comparing 1H26 for the full period with 1H25 from the Acquisition date.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

An important operational performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (as this term is defined in IFRS Accounting Standards 8) is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our net income, less income tax, financial results, earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures, taxation and the useful lives and book depreciation and amortization of PP&E and intangible assets, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (a non-GAAP measure), our Management believes that this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and provides useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and, accordingly, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as used by other companies.

 

The following table shows the reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:

 

      1H26     1H25     Variation  
      P$ million       P$ million       %  
Net income (loss) for the period     869,038       (100,900 )     969,938       n/a

Earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures and Gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost     (32,824 )     2,329       (35,153 )     n/a

Adjusted EBITDA     1,816,819       1,345,030       471,789       35.1  

 

Our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA amounted to P$1,816,819 million in 1H26, representing an increase of P$471,789 million or 35.1% as compared to P$1,345,030 million in 1H25. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of TMA’s results, which in 1H26 are included for the full period, whereas in 1H25 they were incorporated only from the Acquisition date. The increase in TMA’s contribution amounted to P$252,488 million (excluding the effects of intercompany transactions) when comparing 1H26 with 1H25. For further information about the variations of Adjusted EBITDA see “Explanations by segments” below.

 

Adjusted EBITDA represented 35.8% and 30.0% of our total consolidated revenues in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

Revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network are comprised as follows:

 

Mobile Services

 

Mobile services revenues in 1H26 amounted to P$1,387,366 million, representing an increase of P$105,438 million, or 8.2%, as compared to 1H25, and were the principal contributor to our total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network in 1H26, accounting for 46% of services revenues in 1H26 compared to 45% in 1H25. Mobile internet services revenues represented 97% and 98% of the mobile services revenues in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Mobile services revenues amounted to P$76,540 million and P$370,546 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

This increase was mainly due to an 18.4% increase in ARPU, partially offset by a 7.1% decrease in the number of customers.

 

ARPU amounted to P$11,772.2 in 1H26 compared to P$9,941.3 in 1H25. This increase was mainly explained by price increases. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in ARPU amounted to P$663.1 and P$2,872.6 in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The customer base amounted to 19.4 million and 20.9 million as of June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to: (a) in the prepaid customer base, a change implemented in 2025 regarding the measurement of line disconnections, whereby, for purposes of determining definitive disconnections, the inactivity period since the last top-up date was reduced from 360 days to 242 days, resulting in a 10.1% reduction in the prepaid customer base (this methodological change had no material impact on revenues); and (b) in the postpaid customer base, higher disconnections associated with changes in commercial strategies, resulting in a 2.5% decline in the postpaid customer base. As of June 30, 2026, 59% of total mobile customers were prepaid customers and 41% were postpaid customers, compared to 61% and 39%, respectively, as of June 30, 2025. Additionally, the average monthly churn rate amounted to 2.1% in 1H26 and 1H25.

 

ARPU of Mobile Services in ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network

 

A monthly operational measure used in the mobile services is ARPU, which we calculate by dividing adjusted total service revenues—excluding out collect wholesale roaming, cell site rental, reconnection fees revenues and others— for the period by the average number of customers in the period and then annualizing the result to a monthly basis. ARPU is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and our measure of ARPU may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used in the ICT business. Management believes this measure is helpful in assessing the development of the subscriber base of mobile services. The following table shows the reconciliation of total service revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations:

 

    1H26   1H25
    (P$ million)   
Total Mobile service revenues     1,387,366       1,281,928  
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: out collect wholesale roaming, cell sites rental, reconnection fees revenues and others     (2,951 )     (3,154 )
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation     1,384,415       1,278,774

ARPU of Mobile Services – Personal Network     11,772.2       9,941.3  

 

Internet Services

 

Internet services revenues amounted to P$770,800 million in 1H26 (equivalent to 26% and 27% of total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively), decreasing P$6,672 million or 0.9%, as compared to P$777,472 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in internet services revenues amounted to P$42,749 million and P$225,136 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The decrease in internet services revenues in 1H26 was mainly due to the decrease in ARPU of 3.6%, partially offset by a 2.7% increase in the customer base.

 

ARPU amounted to P$30,587.3 in 1H26 as compared to P$31,724.8 in 1H25. The decrease was mainly due to the fact that the Company was unable to increase its prices to the same extent as the increase in inflation. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in ARPU amounted to P$1,171.8 and P$9,185.8 in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

The customer base reached 4.2 million as of June 30, 2026, representing a 2.7% increase compared to June 30, 2025. This growth was mainly observed in June 2026, driven by the 2026 FIFA World Cup which encouraged customers to subscribe to bundled cable television and internet packages in order to access the broadcast of the matches and tournament-related content. The monthly Internet services churn rate stood at 1.4% in 1H26 and 1.2% in 1H25.

Cable Television Services

 

Cable television service revenues amounted to P$433,219 million in 1H26 (equivalent to 14% and 15% of total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network in 1H26 and 1H25), increasing P$9,861 million or 2.3%, as compared to P$423,358 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in cable television services revenues amounted to P$23,791 million and P$122,391 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The increase in cable television service revenues in 1H26 was mainly due to a 0.5% increase in ARPU and a 6.6% increase in the customer base.

 

ARPU amounted to P$21,870.6 in 1H26, compared to an ARPU of P$21,764.4 in 1H25. The increase in ARPU reflects the impact of price increases implemented throughout the period, partially offset by discounts granted. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026 included in ARPU amounts to P$837.2 and P$5,902.8 in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively

 

As of June 30, 2026, the customer base amounted to 3.4 million customers, representing a 6.6% increase compared to June 30, 2025. This growth was mainly observed in June 2026, driven by the 2026 FIFA World Cup which encouraged customers to subscribe to bundled cable television and internet packages in order to access the broadcast of the matches and tournament-related content and new Pack Fútbol customer additions. Additionally, the average monthly churn rate amounted to 1.5% in 1H26 and 1H25.

ARPU of Cable Television Services of ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network

 

An important monthly operational measure used in the Cable Television services is ARPU, which we calculate by dividing adjusted total service revenues - excluding connection fees and others— for the period by the average number of customers in the period and then annualizing the result to a monthly basis. ARPU is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and our measure of ARPU may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used in the ICT business. Certain components of service revenues are excluded from Cable Television’s ARPU calculations presented. Management believes this measure is helpful in assessing the development of the subscriber base of cable television services. The following table shows the reconciliation of total cable television service revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculation:

 

    1H26   1H25
    (P$ million)   
Total Cable Television service revenues     433,219       413,999  
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: connection fees and others     (181 )     (215 )
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation     433,038       413,784  
Average number of customers during the period (millions)     3.3       3.2  
ARPU of Cable Television Services – Personal Network     21,870.6       21,764.4  

 

Fixed and Data Services

 

Revenues generated by fixed and data services amounted to P$283,105 million in 1H26 (representing 9% and 11% of total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively) decreasing P$40,454 million, or 12.5%, as compared to P$323,559 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in fixed and data services revenues amounted to P$16,311 million and P$93,948 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The decrease was mainly due to the fact that the Company was unable to increase its prices to the same extent as the increase in inflation, partially offset by an increase of 3.5% on the customer base.

 

It is also worth noting that, although some data services revenues increased as a result of foreign exchange rate movements (23.0% year-over-year increase), given that these services are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, this increase was lower than the cumulative inflation recorded over the last twelve months (33.5%). Therefore, the impact was lower in real terms.

 

The customer base amounted to 2.8 million (of which 2.5 million are IP fixed telephony service base) in 1H26, compared to 2.7 million in 1H25 (of which 2.0 million are IP fixed telephony service base).

 

Other services revenues

 

Other services revenues generated by other services amounted to P$114,727 million in 1H26 (equivalent to 5% and 2% of total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively), increasing P$62,990 million as compared to P$51,737 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in other services revenues amounted to P$5,437 million and P$14,508 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The increase in 1H26 compared to 1H25 is mainly due to interconnection services provided to the ICT Services segment in Argentina – TMA Network provided during 1H26. These revenues are eliminated at the consolidated level as part of the consolidation process, as they constitute a transaction between subsidiaries.

Equipment

 

Equipment revenues amounted to P$113,196 million in 1H26 (representing 4% of total revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network), decreasing P$48,445 million, or 30.0%, as compared to P$161,641 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in equipment revenues amounted to P$5,535 million and P$47,130 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The decrease was mainly due to the fact that the Company was unable to increase its prices to the same extent as the increase in inflation, and a decrease in the number of mobile handsets sold compared to 1H25.

 

Operating costs (without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets) for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network are comprised as follows:

 

Operating costs (without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets) for ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network totaled P$1,932,594 million in 1H26, representing a decrease of P$91,145 million or 4.5% compared to P$2,023,739 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Operating costs (without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets) amounted to P$136,676 million and P$609,605 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

Employee benefit expenses and severance payments

 

Employee benefit expenses and severance payments decreased by P$47,406 million or 6.6%, amounting to P$667,110 million in 1H26 as compared to P$714,516 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Employee benefit expenses and severance payments amounted to P$37,721 million and P$206,164 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The decrease was mainly driven by lower salary expenses of P$62,535 million, partially offset by higher severance charges of P$15,129 million. The decrease in salary expenses is mainly due to a reduction in net headcount (17,289 Telecom Argentina employees as of June 30, 2026, representing a 7.9% decrease compared to 18,765 on June 30, 2025).

 

Fees for services, maintenance, materials and supplies

 

Fees for services, maintenance, materials and supplies decreased by P$44,750 million or 11.8%, amounting to P$335,171 million in 1H26 as compared to P$379,921 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Fees for services, maintenance, materials and supplies amounted to P$26,261 million and P$123,183 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The decrease is mainly explained by a decrease in services received from call centers, due to a reduction in hours consumed primarily attributable to the Company's customer self-service strategy, which enabled a greater proportion of customer interactions and transactions to be completed through digital channels, reducing the need for operational support. In addition, the Company was able to negotiate price increases below the rate of inflation.

 

Furthermore, in 1H26 there was lower provision for materials obsolescence.

 

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

  

As a result of these factors, service fees decreased by P$33,624 million and maintenance and materials costs declined by P$11,816 million compared to 1H25.

 

Taxes and fees with the Regulatory Authority

 

Taxes and fees with the Regulatory Authority, including turnover tax, municipal taxes and other taxes, increased P$8,333 million or 3.3%, amounting to P$260,934 million in 1H26 as compared to P$252,601 million in 1H25. Taxes and fees with the Regulatory Authority represent 8.4% of total revenues from ICT Services provided in Argentina - Personal Network in 1H26 and 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Taxes and fees with the Regulatory Authority amounted to P$14,299 million and P$73,037 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The increase is mainly driven by the effect of tax charges arising from the higher revenue levels described above.

 

Commissions and advertising

 

Commissions and advertising increased P$3,797 million or 3.0%, amounting to P$128,373 million in 1H26, as compared to P$124,576 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Commissions and advertising amounted to P$6,690 million and P$35,826 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The variation is mainly due to an increase in expenditure during 1H26 aimed at strengthening the positioning and visibility of the Personal brand, as a result of the branding change that occurred in December 2025, partially offset by a decrease in financial commission expenses, primarily driven by lower handset sales.

 

Programming and content costs

 

Programming and content costs increased by P$12,823 million or 7.4%, amounting to P$185,367 million in 1H26 as compared to P$172,544 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Programming and content costs amounted to P$10,089 million and P$49,829 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

This increase is primarily attributable to increases of Football Pack services, considering that subscriptions increased 12% compared to 1H25, amounting to 0.8 million subscriptions in 1H26 compared to 0.7 million subscriptions in 1H25.

 

Other operating costs

 

Other operating expenses (which include legal claims and contingent liabilities, energy and other public services, insurance, postage and travel expenses, rentals and internet capacity, interconnection and transmission costs, cost of equipment, among others) decreased by P$23,942 million or 6.3%, amounting to P$355,639 million in 1H26 as compared to P$379,581 million in 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Other operating expenses amounts to P$41,616 million and P$121,566 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The decrease is mainly explained by: i) lower costs of equipment sold of P$29,833 million: there was a 14% decrease in the number of devices sold compared to 1H25, offset by fewer commercial actions by the brands, which limited the reduction in equipment acquisition costs; and ii) a reduction in bad debt expenses of P$5,594 million reflecting the continuation of credit recovery actions and improved collection effectiveness.

 

 

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

It is also worth noting that, although some costs (as Rentals and internet capacity, and Interconnection and transmission costs) increased as a result of foreign exchange rate movements (23.0% year-over-year increase), given that these services are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, this increase was lower than the cumulative inflation recorded over the last twelve months (33.5%). Therefore, the impact was lower in real terms.

 

These effects were partially offset by an increase in the costs from the sale of PP&E to TMA and higher interconnection costs with TMA (RAN Sharing, Transmission Links, and Interconnection Ports services), these costs are eliminated at the consolidated level as part of the consolidation process, as they constitute a transaction between subsidiaries.

(1) For 1H25, the information related to the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina - TMA Network” corresponds to the period from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2025.

 

As “general explanation of segment variation” it should be noted that the variations are partially explained by the fact that 1H26 includes the full results for the period, while 1H25 includes only the results from the Acquisition date.

 

Revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network are comprised as follows:

 

Mobile Services

 

Mobile services revenues in 1H26 amounted to P$1,162,929 million, representing an increase of P$408,111 million or 54.1% as compared to 1H25, and were the principal contributor to total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network in 1H26, accounting for 65% and 63% of services revenues in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in Mobile services revenues amounted to P$64,345 million and P$204,284 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

Beyond the general explanation of segment variation described above, the variation was affected by a 2.7% increase in ARPU and a 1.2% increase in the customer base.

 

ARPU amounted to P$9,840.4 in 1H26 compared to P$9,581.4 in 1H25. This increase was mainly explained by price increases mainly in postpaid plans. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026 included in ARPU amounted to P$541.0 and P$2,594.9 in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The customer base amounted to 19.5 million and 19.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase is mainly explained by a growth in the postpaid customer base, primarily driven by the M2M (Machine-to-Machine, i.e., connected devices that communicate over mobile networks such as smart meters, tracking systems, and IoT devices) service, resulting in a 2.8% increase, partially offset by a reduction in the prepaid customer base, associated with the contraction trend that this market segment has been experiencing, leading to a 0.2% decrease. As of June 30, 2026, 51% of customers were prepaid and 49% were postpaid, while as of June 30, 2025, 52% of customers were prepaid and 48% were postpaid.

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in cable television services revenues amounted to P$3,249 million and P$12,342 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

Beyond the general explanation of segment variation described above, the variation was affected by a 11.1% decrease in ARPU, partially offset by a 6.5% increase in the customer base.

 

ARPU amounted to P$25,255.4 in 1H26 compared to P$28,423.8 in 1H25. The decrease in ARPU is primarily attributable to the alignment of the pricing strategy with market conditions. The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in ARPU amounts to P$1,353.7 and P$7,701.3 in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The customer base amounted to 0.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, resulting in an increase of 6.5% due to an enhanced value proposition aligned with market trends and increased user acquisition driven by the 2026 FIFA World Cup event.

ARPU of Cable Television Services of ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network

 

An important monthly operational measure used in the Cable Television services is ARPU, which TMA calculates by dividing adjusted total service revenues - excluding connection fees and others by the average number of customers during the period and then annualizing the result to a monthly basis. ARPU is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and TMA’s measure of ARPU may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used in the ICT business. Management believes this measure is helpful in assessing the development of the subscriber base of cable television services. The following table shows the reconciliation of total cable television service revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations:

 

    1H26   1H25 (1)  
    (P$ million)  
Total Cable Television service revenues     60,615       45,553  
Components of service revenues not included in the ARPU calculation: connection fees and others     (2 )     (75 )
Adjusted total service revenues included in the ARPU calculation     60,613       45,478  
Average number of customers during the period (millions)     0.4       0.4  
ARPU of Cable Television Services – TMA Network     25,255.4       28,423.8  

 

(1) For 1H25, the information related to the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina - TMA Network” corresponds to the period from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2025.

 

Fixed and Data Services

 

Revenues generated by fixed and data services amounted to P$259,536 million in 1H26, increasing P$64,141 million or 32.8% compared to 1H25. Revenues generated by fixed and data services represented 15% and 16% of total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in fixed and data services revenues amounted to P$18,839 million and P$55,367 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

Beyond the general explanation of segment variation described above, the variation was affected by the fact that TMA was unable to increase its prices to the same extent as the increase in inflation and a 1.8% decrease in the customer base of fixed voice services.

 

The customer base amounted to 2.1 million as of June 30, 2026, of which 1.6 million were IP customers. The decrease of 1.8% compared to June 30, 2025, is mainly due to changes related to customer consumption trends.

 

Other services revenues

 

Other services revenues amounted to P$42,900 million in 1H26, increasing P$24,243 million compared to 1H25. Other services revenues amounted represented 2% of total services revenues for ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network in 1H26 and 1H25.

 

The effect generated by the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, included in other services revenues amounted to P$2,161 million and P$5,408 million in 1H26 and 1H25, respectively.

 

This increase is mainly due to interconnection services provided to the segment ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network. These sales are eliminated at the consolidated level as part of the consolidation process, as they represent an intercompany transaction between subsidiaries. Additionally, revenue related to late-payment fees, line reconnections, leases, and other income associated with space rentals is included.

The decrease was mainly attributable to a lower number of mobile devices sold compared to 1H25. Additionally, pricing was impacted by exchange rate movements, which increased at a pace below inflation. These effects were partially offset by an increase related to the general explanation of segment variation described above.

 

Operating costs (without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets) for ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network are comprised as follows:

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

Beyond the general explanation of segment variation described above, the variation was affected by an increase of the provision for materials obsolescence, together with higher materials consumption.

 

Additionally, during 1H26, there was an increase in cloud data storage fees, mainly driven by a higher number of subscribers. However, this impact was partially offset, as many of these services are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars; therefore, the 23% increase in the exchange rate of that currency was lower than the cumulative inflation of 33.5% over the last 12 months. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in surveillance and security fees as a result of an efficiency plan, including reduced security coverage hours at service centers, fewer services related to antenna site guarding, and reduced patrol activities, among others.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources and Uses of Funds

 

We expect the main sources of Telecom Argentina’s liquidity in the short term to be cash flows from Telecom Argentina’s operations and cash flows from financing from third parties, which may include accessing to domestic and international capital markets and obtaining financing from financial institutions. Telecom Argentina’s principal uses of cash flows are expected to be capital expenditures, operating expenses, dividend payments to its shareholders, payments of borrowings and for general corporate purposes. Telecom Argentina expects working capital, funds generated from operations, dividend payments from its subsidiaries and financing from third parties to be sufficient. Telecom Argentina assumes that it will be able to access the domestic and international capital markets in 2026 to refinance its outstanding debt, if necessary.

(1) For 1H25, the information related to the segment “ICT Services provided in Argentina - TMA Network” corresponds to the period from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2025.

 

The primary investment projects in PP&E are related to the expansion of internet services, aimed at improving transmission and access speed for customers, the deployment of 4G coverage and capacity, and the continued expansion of 5G to support mobile internet growth and enhance service quality, mainly in the segments Personal Network and TMA Network.

 

ICT Services provided in Argentina – Personal Network

 

In terms of infrastructure, during 1H26, we continued to enhance the services we provide through the deployment of the 4G/LTE network, together with the technological reconversion of our 2G / 3G networks to 4G and LTE and the deployment of fiber optics to connect homes with broadband, which also improved our fixed and data networks.

 

The deployment of 4G/LTE reached a coverage of 97% of the urban population, and we achieved a coverage of 98% of the population in Argentina’s major cities.

 

Our mobile network customers with access to our 4G network, according to the latest benchmark conducted by Ookla, experience improved service quality, with average speeds of 85 Mbps.

 

Additionally, approximately 85% of calls are made via VoLTE, a technology that enables voice calls over the 4G network with significant improvements in audio and video quality. In 1H26, the Company continued the expansion of its 5G network, incorporating 375 new sites.

 

Furthermore, we continued deploying mobile site connectivity to achieve better quality and capacity, replacing radio links with high-capacity fiber optic connections. Lastly, we continued with the plan to connect remote and low-density areas through satellite backhaul.

 

 

 

TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A.

 

ICT Services provided in Argentina – TMA Network

 

In terms of fixed access infrastructure, during 1H26 TMA continued strengthening its broadband capabilities through the deployment of new fiber optic networks and the modernization of existing infrastructure.

 

During this period, TMA advanced the rollout of fiber in new residential areas, buildings, and commercial zones, connecting more than 71,500 new homes across more than 2,280 blocks. In addition, TMA installed 10,500 new distribution cabinets in already deployed areas to facilitate the connection of new customers.

 

TMA also made progress in modernizing its access network by replacing obsolete platforms, including the renewal of multiple OLTs, incorporating technology compatible with the XGSPON and 50GSPON evolution paths.

 

During this period, no new homes were connected through partners or allied networks. As a result of these initiatives, by the end of the quarter TMA reached approximately 5.32 million connected homes, of which 4.27 million correspond to its own network and 1.05 million to partner networks.

 

In terms of infrastructure, TMA continued to enhance the services it provides through the deployment of the 4G/LTE network and fiber-optic networks to connect homes with broadband, which also positively impacted fixed and data networks. This strategy enabled TMA to differentiate itself from competitors and significantly improve customer Net Promoter Score (NPS).

 

The 4G/LTE rollout reached coverage of 99.6% of the urban population across 2,221 localities and 100% coverage in Argentina’s main cities as of June 30, 2026. Customers who access TMA’s 4G network benefit from improved quality of service, with speeds of up to 66 Mbps, and approximately 62.5% of calls are carried out using VoLTE, a technology that enables voice calls over the 4G network, resulting in significant improvements in audio and video quality. In addition, TMA continued deploying mobile connectivity to improve quality and capacity, replacing radio links with high-capacity fiber-optic connections. Regarding 5G, TMA reached a total of 1,200 sites.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)     941,889       705,176       236,713       33.6  

 

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, defined as our net income, less income tax, financial results (Financial results from borrowings and other financial results, net), earnings (losses) from associates and joint ventures, and gains recognised when control of subsidiary is lost, and depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets. For further information on the use of adjusted EBITDA, see “Adjusted EBITDA”.

 

In 2Q26, net income amounted to P$182,557 million compared to a net loss of P$232,854 million in 2Q25, representing 7.1% and (9.1)% of consolidated revenues in 2Q26 and 2Q25, respectively.

 

The increase in net income in 2Q26 was mainly due to a decrease in financials net loss for P$371,774 million and an increase of P$281,777 million in operating income, partially offset by a higher income tax expense of P$233,900 million.

 

Net income attributable to controlling company amounted to P$174,149 million in 2Q26 compared to a net loss of P$237,991 million in 2Q25.

 

During 2Q26 revenues increased 0.4% compared to 2Q25, amounting to P$2,558,330 million compared to P$2,549,353 million in 2Q25. As a result of the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, revenues included a restatement effect of P$50,570 million and P$671,958 million in 2Q26 and 2Q25, respectively.

 

Total operating costs without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets totaled P$1,616,441 million in 2Q26, representing a decrease of P$227,736 million or 12.3% compared to 2Q25. As a result of the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, the restatement effect included in operating costs without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets amounted to P$48,935 million and P$508,129 million in 2Q26 and 2Q25, respectively.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets amounted to P$583,453 million in 2Q26, representing a decrease of P$45,064 million or 7.2% compared to 2Q25.

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets decreased mainly due to the effect of those assets that ended their useful life after June 30, 2025 and the decrease in fixed assets from such date, partially offset by the depreciation and amortization of CAPEX after that date, which, in turn, decreased compared to 2Q25.

 

As a result of the restatement in current currency as of June 30, 2026, the restatement effect included in depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets amounted to P$342,674 million and P$505,721 million in 2Q26 and 2Q25, respectively.

 

Operating income

 

Operating income in 2Q26 amounted to P$358,436 million compared to an operating income of P$76,659 million in 2Q25. Operating income represented 14.0% and 3.0% of revenues in 2Q26 and 2Q25, respectively.

 

The improvement in the operating margin is mainly attributable to an increase in the Adjusted EBITDA, which reached 36.8% of our consolidated revenues in 2Q26, compared to 27.7% in 2Q25. For further details, see “Explanations by segments” below. In addition, an improvement is observed in the Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets margin over revenues, which decreased to 22.8% in 2Q26, compared to 24.7% in 2Q25, as a result of the effects described in section “Depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets” above.

Total financial results, net     (58,772 )     (430,546 )     371,774       (86.3 )

 

Telecom incurred a net financial loss of P$58,772 million in 2Q26, compared to P$430,546 million in 2Q25.

 

The variation in net financial results in 2Q26 was mainly driven by a lower loss from foreign exchange differences, measured in real terms, of P$264,322 million. While the Company maintained a higher level of U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings in 2026, increasing its exposure to exchange rate movements, the foreign exchange impact was favorable during the period. This reflects the fact that the U.S. dollar appreciated only 7.2% against the Argentine peso in 2Q26, compared to 12.2% in 2Q25, while inflation remained at comparable levels (6.8% versus 6.0%).

 

Additionally, RECPAM increased P$70,204 million, taxes and bank expenses decreased by P$15,114 million, as well as lower losses from financial discounts on assets, debts and others of P$14,135 million.

The decrease in operating costs without depreciation, amortization and impairment of Fixed and intangible assets in 2Q26 compared to 2Q25 is mainly due to lower costs from Employee benefit expenses and severance payments, mainly due to a reduction in net headcount (17,289 Telecom Argentina employees as of June 30, 2026, representing an 7.9% decrease compared to June 30, 2025), and, to a lesser extent, due to a reduction in fees for services, maintenance, materials and supplies related to a decrease in services received from call centers, due to a reduction in hours consumed primarily attributable to the Company's customer self-service strategy, which enabled a greater proportion of customer interactions and transactions to be completed through digital channels, reducing the need for operational support.

4. Trend information

 

During the first half of 2026, the Company continued to strengthen its positioning strategy as a relevant player in the country’s digital ecosystem, combining connectivity, technological services, entertainment and financial solutions under the Personal brand.

 

In line with this strategy, the unification of its brand identity under Personal was completed, establishing it as the umbrella brand for all its solutions and platforms. This decision simplifies the value proposition, strengthens the consistency of customer experience, and enhances commercial and operational synergies across the different business verticals.

 

By consolidating a strong, cross-cutting brand under the Personal umbrella, the Company reinforces its positioning as an integrated digital ecosystem across its key brand verticals: Personal Mobile, Personal Fiber, Personal Smarthome, Tienda Personal, Personal Flow, Personal Tech, and Personal Pay, expanding its ability to scale high value-added solutions for all customers.

 

In a scenario of greater macroeconomic stability, increased investor confidence, and the reactivation of strategic sectors, the Company reaffirms its commitment to developing capabilities and value-added services that drive the country’s digital economy, supporting productive growth.

 

With a comprehensive service offering and an active investment policy, Personal continues to expand and modernize its infrastructure, adapting to the evolution of digital demand with a focus on efficiency, quality, and technological capacity. This approach is part of a long-term vision that integrates sustainability, innovation, and digital transformation as strategic pillars.

 

During the first half of 2026, Personal continued to expand its fixed and mobile networks, advance its 5G deployment, and evolve its technology architecture, with a focus on efficiency, quality, and scalability. The Company also deepened the adoption of artificial intelligence and the development of AI agents to optimize processes and enhance the experience of customers, employees, and businesses.

In relation to regulatory matters concerning the Acquisition, the Company continues to progress through the required regulatory review process following the conditional approval of the transaction, which is subject to certain structural and behavioral remedies. The integration of the two companies will not occur until all required conditions have been satisfied and the relevant regulatory approvals have been obtained. For further information refer to Note 17 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In line with its strategy for the sustainable development of technology and infrastructure, Personal continues to expand initiatives related to energy efficiency. In March, Personal obtained the international CEEDA certification (Certified Energy Efficient Datacenter Award), which recognizes efficient energy management and sustainable operations at the Pacheco Data Center.

 

Digital platforms continued to expand. Personal Flow strengthened its entertainment offering through the acquisition of new sports broadcasting rights, most notably those related to the FIFA World Cup 2026, and enhanced its platform with new AI-powered features that successfully managed the high levels of consumption and usage recorded during the tournament.

 

Personal Pay, for its part, is strengthening its presence within the regional fintech ecosystem. At the beginning of this fiscal year, a strategic alliance with Banco Macro was announced to promote the digitalization of financial services in the country provided by Personal Pay. This partnership will enable Personal Pay to offer its customers a unique value proposition in the market, combining the ease of use of a digital wallet with expanded access to financial products and services backed by a leading bank.

 

Through Personal Tech, the value proposition for the B2B segment continues to evolve, offering tailored and scalable solutions to corporate customers, with a portfolio built on technological pillars: fixed and mobile connectivity, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

 

Personal continues to strengthen its strategy of bringing the convergent store format to the mass market in various cities, providing comprehensive service for mobile services, home internet, television, and streaming in a single location, along with a space for the sale of technology products. The company is also focusing on developing the Smarthome vertical and Tienda Personal, where various products can be purchased with benefits and discounts, aiming to become the leading provider of smart home solutions and accessible technology in Latin America.

 

This technological and innovative approach is complemented by a long-term vision that incorporates sustainability as a cross-cutting axis, promoting energy efficiency, the circular economy, and the development of digital talent as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to responsible growth.

 

In addition, the Company continues to grow through its active operations in Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile, supporting the digital transformation of consumers and businesses across different verticals.

 

Through these initiatives, the Company continues to support the digital transformation of the country and the region, with investments aimed at strengthening infrastructure, driving technological innovation, and expanding its ecosystem of services in line with the evolution of the competitive environment.
