Telecom Argentina 4Q15 EarningsRelease Conference Call Presentation

Disclaimer This presentation is based on audited financial statements and may include statements that could constitute forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the Company s expectations for its future performance, revenues, income, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, liquidity and capital structure; the impact of the emergency laws enacted by the Argentine government; and the impact of rate changes and competition on the Company s future financial performance. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as believes, expects, anticipates, projects, intends, should, seeks, estimates, future or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect the Company s expected results. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, uncertainties concerning the impact of the emergency laws enacted by the Argentine government which have resulted in the repeal of Argentina s convertibility law, the devaluation of the peso, restrictions on the ability to exchange pesos into foreign currencies, the adoption of a restrictive currency transfer policy, the pesification of tariffs charged for public services, the elimination of indexes to adjust rates charged for public services and the executive branch announcement to renegotiate the terms of the concessions granted to public service providers, including Telecom. Due to extensive and rapid changes in laws and economic and business conditions in Argentina, it is difficult to predict the impact of these changes on the Company s financial condition. Other factors may include, but are not limited to, the evolution of the economy in Argentina, growing inflationary pressure and reduction in consumer spending and the outcome of certain legal proceedings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as the date of this document. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events and circumstances after the date of this presentation, including, without limitation, changes in the Company s business or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Information included in this presentation is unaudited and may not coincide with that included in the financial statements of the Company, due to rounding, reclassification matters, and other reasons. Readers are encouraged to consult the Company s Annual Report and Form 20-F as well as periodic filings made on Form 6-K, which are filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Argentine Comisión Nacional de Valores. 1

Nonetheless, a positive trend was observed after the new administration was in offices and the FX market controls were eliminated. Overall household consumption has maintained a slight positive performance, but far from high levels reached in previous years. It is expected that raises in utilities tariffs during 2016 would impact negatively in average consumption. FX Rate CPI(YoY) Consumer Price Index (GCBA) 38.0% 26.6% 28.0% 16.5% 3 25.5% 24.0% 26.9% 2013 2014 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 On Dec-15, with the lifting of official FX markets controls, the peso suffered a significant depreciation(40%) closing 2015 at AR$ 13 per USD. The CPI Index was not published for YE15, after announcing a deep revision in the process and mechanisms implemented by INDEC. As guidance, the authorities suggested that other indexes published by provincial entities, i.e. the Buenos Aires City and San Luis, should be observed. Main measures that allowed exchange rate unification: Lifting of restrictions on FX markets. Reduction or elimination of export taxes for commodities and industrial products. Agreements with exporters to sell inventories of grain. Devaluation & new floating exchange rate regime. Economic activity per sector Total Construction Electricity, gas & water Public Admin & Defense Social services & Healthcare Agriculture Retail & Wholesale commerce Minery Real Estate Manufacturer Industry Financial interm. Transport & Communications Trade balance continued to decrease in 4Q15, as exports accumulated 23 months of contraction (according to last available data). The economic activity closed the year with a slow and fragile recovery, mainly due to notorious improvements in Construction, public administration and utilities. Industrial production Index (IPI) showed a positive trend, but at a much lower and volatile pace than therestoftheeconomy.
