Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Telecom Argentina reported consolidated 1H25 results that include four months of Telefónica Móviles Argentina (TMA) following its acquisition. Consolidated revenues reached P$3,357,004 million and consolidated service revenues were P$3,160,986 million. Operating Income before Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment (EBITDA) totaled P$1,007,153 million, yielding a 30.0% consolidated margin and a 32.5% margin for Telecom excluding TMA.

Despite stronger operating performance and elevated CAPEX (P$481,189 million in PP&E and intangibles; P$573,242 million including rights of use), the company recorded a consolidated net loss of P$75,554 million (controlling company: P$83,792 million). A consolidated net financial loss of P$215,364 million, largely from foreign-exchange differences and higher interest, drove the shortfall. Consolidated net financial debt stood at P$4,029,971 million, up P$1,113,767 versus December 31, 2024, mainly to finance the TMA acquisition. The company issued US$800 million Class 24 notes in May (reopened by US$200 million in July) and prepaid portions of syndicated and bilateral loans with proceeds.

Telecom Argentina a publié des résultats consolidés pour le 1H25 incluant quatre mois de Telefónica Móviles Argentina (TMA) suite à son acquisition. Les revenus consolidés se sont élevés à P$3,357,004 million et les revenus de services consolidés à P$3,160,986 million. L'EBITDA (résultat d'exploitation avant dépréciation, amortissement et impairment) a atteint P$1,007,153 million, soit une marge consolidée de 30,0% et une marge de 32,5% pour Telecom hors TMA.

Malgré une meilleure performance opérationnelle et des CAPEX élevés (P$481,189 million en immobilisations corporelles et incorporelles ; P$573,242 million en incluant les droits d'utilisation), la société a enregistré une perte nette consolidée de P$75,554 million (société contrôleuse : P$83,792 million). Une perte financière nette consolidée de P$215,364 million, principalement due à des différences de change et à l'augmentation des charges d'intérêts, explique en grande partie ce résultat. La dette financière nette consolidée s'établit à P$4,029,971 million, en hausse de P$1,113,767 par rapport au 31 décembre 2024, principalement pour financer l'acquisition de TMA.

Telecom Argentina meldete konsolidierte Ergebnisse für 1H25, die vier Monate von Telefónica Móviles Argentina (TMA) nach der Übernahme umfassen. Die konsolidierten Erlöse beliefen sich auf P$3,357,004 million und die konsolidierten Serviceerträge auf P$3,160,986 million. Das Ergebnis vor Abschreibungen, Amortisationen und Wertminderungen (EBITDA) betrug P$1,007,153 million, was einer konsolidierten Marge von 30,0% und einer Marge von 32,5% für Telecom ohne TMA entspricht.

Trotz besserer operativer Leistung und hohen CAPEX (P$481,189 million in PP&E und immaterielle Vermögenswerte; P$573,242 million einschließlich Nutzungsrechten) verzeichnete das Unternehmen einen konsolidierten Jahresfehlbetrag von P$75,554 million (Konzernmutter: P$83,792 million). Ein konsolidierter finanzieller Nettoverlust von P$215,364 million, größtenteils bedingt durch Wechselkursdifferenzen und höhere Zinsaufwendungen, trug zum negativen Ergebnis bei. Die konsolidierte Nettofinanzverschuldung belief sich auf P$4,029,971 million, ein Anstieg um P$1,113,767 gegenüber dem 31. Dezember 2024, hauptsächlich zur Finanzierung der TMA-Akquisition. Das Unternehmen emittierte im Mai Class-24-Anleihen über US$800 Millionen (im Juli um US$200 Millionen wieder aufgelegt) und tilgte mit den Erlösen Teile von syndizierten und bilateralen Krediten vorzeitig.

Positive
  • Consolidated revenues of P$3,357,004 million in 1H25, reflecting scale after the TMA consolidation
  • EBITDA of P$1,007,153 million and a 30.0% consolidated margin, with Telecom (ex-TMA) margin at 32.5%
  • Successful international financing: US$800 million Class 24 notes issued in May and a US$200 million tap in July (raising Class 24 to US$1,000m)
  • CAPEX and network investment: P$481,189 million in PP&E and intangibles (P$573,242 million including rights of use) focused on 4G/5G expansion and fiber
  • Subscriber and ARPU improvements: consolidated mobile service revenues and ARPU growth for Telecom (ex-TMA) (+12.6% real ARPU) and expanded subscriber bases in key markets
Negative
  • Consolidated net loss of P$75,554 million in 1H25 (controlling company loss P$83,792 million)
  • Large consolidated net financial loss of P$215,364 million, driven by FX differences and higher interest expense
  • Net financial debt increased to P$4,029,971 million, up P$1,113,767 vs. Dec 31, 2024, primarily due to financing for the TMA acquisition
  • Regulatory uncertainty: Preliminary objection report from CNDC on the TMA acquisition (company has submitted responses and proposed remedies)
  • Operating costs rose materially: consolidated operating costs (including D&A&I) of P$3,180,977 million, reflecting TMA consolidation and higher taxes/charges

Insights

TL;DR: Strong operating cash generation but large FX losses and acquisition financing produced a significant net loss and higher leverage.

Telecom shows substantive operating strength: EBITDA P$1,007,153 million and a consolidated margin of 30.0%, with mobile services becoming the largest service line. However, the headline result is a consolidated net loss of P$75,554 million driven by a P$215,364 million net financial loss, primarily from foreign-exchange differences and higher interest expense tied to acquisition financing. Net financial debt increased to P$4,029,971 million, reflecting borrowing to fund the TMA acquisition despite successful international issuance (Class 24 notes US$800m, later tapped by US$200m). From a liquidity and covenant perspective, elevated leverage and FX exposure are the main near-term risks.

TL;DR: The TMA acquisition materially increases scale and revenues but creates integration, regulatory and financing considerations.

Consolidation of TMA contributed meaningfully to revenues and subscribers (e.g., TMA mobile contributed P$572,126 million to Argentina mobile revenues and TMA had ~19.3 million mobile subscribers). The company has taken steps to finance the deal (international notes and loan prepayments) and has engaged with competition authorities after a preliminary CNDC objection; Telecom submitted responses and offered potential remedies. Strategically, the transaction expands market share and ARPU scale, but regulatory review and the added financial burden make near-term impacts mixed until remedies and integration outcomes are resolved.

Telecom Argentina S.A.
announces consolidated results for the first half (“1H25”) and
second quarter of fiscal year 2025 (“2Q25”)
2

 

 

Note: 1H25 figures include the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting in accordance with IAS 29. Therefore, comments regarding 1H25 results and changes in 1H24 results mentioned in this press release correspond to “restated for inflation” or “constant” figures. Moreover, Table 3 shows information broken down by segment for the periods ended as of June 30 of 2025 and 2024, as analyzed by the Executive Committee and the CEO, who periodically receive the economic-financial information of Telecom and its subsidiaries (in historical values). The comments corresponding to the consolidated results for 1H25 include the results of Telefónica Móviles Argentina (“TMA”) for the four-month period from March 1 to June 30, 2025, unless otherwise specified. For further details, please refer to the headings of the financial tables beginning on page 12.

 

·For analysis purposes, it is important to highlight that the comparative results (June 2024) reflect the year-over-year effect of inflation through June 2025, which reached 39.4%. Additionally, the consolidated results for 1H25 include four months of contributions from TMA, which were not present in the comparative period 1H24.

 

·During 1H25, consolidated revenues totaled P$3,357,004 million. Service revenues reached P$3,160,986 million in 1H25, with the following breakdown:

 

oTelecom (excluding TMA)3: +3.8% vs. 1H24 (vs. -11.7% in real terms in 1H24 vs. 1H23).
oTMA: +7.5% vs. 1H24. It is worth noting that Telecom does not determine TMA’s commercial or pricing policies.
oConsolidated: +44.2% vs. 1H24, including four months of TMA revenues not present in the comparative consolidated period (1H24).

 

·During 1H25, the customer base in Argentina showed positive evolution:

 

oTelecom (excluding TMA): Although total mobile accesses declined by 1.3%, reaching 20.9 million, postpaid accesses grew by 1.1%. Pay TV subscribers also increased, totaling 3.2 million in the period (+71 thousand or +2.3% vs. 1H24). Lastly, the fixed broadband segment registered a 1.5% increase in the customer base, totaling 4.1 million accesses (+60 thousand vs. 1H24).
oTMA: Total mobile accesses (including M2M) reached 19.3 million (+464 thousand or +2.5% vs. 1H24). Meanwhile, fixed broadband accesses totaled 1.6 million (+90 thousand or +6.0% vs. 1H24). Lastly, pay TV subscribers amounted to 0.4 million in the same period (-27 thousand or -6.1% vs. 1H24).

 

·During 1H25, consolidated Operating Income before Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairment of Fixed Assets (“Operating Income before D, A & I”) totaled P$1,007,153 million (+45.9% vs 1H24, due to the contribution of 4 months of TMA), resulting in a consolidated margin of 30.0% (+0.3 p.p. vs 1H24). Telecom’s margin (excluding TMA) was 32.5% (+2.8 p.p. vs 1H24).
  
·During 1H25, the Company recorded a consolidated net loss of P$75,554 million (vs. a profit of P$1,197,930 million in 1H24). This was mainly due to a loss recorded in net financial results (vs. a gain in 1H24), partially offset by stronger operating results and a lower income tax loss.
  
·Consolidated CAPEX (excluding additions from rights of use) represented 14.3% of consolidated revenues in 1H25.
  
·Consolidated Net Financial Debt totaled P$4,029,971 million as of June 30, 2025, increasing in real terms (+38.2% in constant currency vs. December 31, 2024). This increase was mainly driven by the financing obtained for the acquisition of TMA.

Consolidated Revenues

 

Mobile Services

 

As of June 30, 2025, total subscribers of Telecom (excluding TMA) in Argentina and Paraguay reached 23.6 million, while TMA subscribers totaled 19.3 million. In 1H25, consolidated mobile service revenues amounted to P$1,604,897 million (+P$667,424 million or +71.2% vs. 1H24), positioning mobile services as the Company’s main business in terms of service revenues (representing 50.8% and 42.8% of service revenues in 1H25 and 1H24, respectively). Mobile internet revenues accounted for 98% and 93% of total mobile service revenues in 1H25 and 1H24, respectively. Excluding the impact of TMA’s consolidation in mobile service revenues, the 10.2% increase for Telecom (excluding TMA) was mainly driven by a higher ARPU.

 

Mobile Services in Argentina

 

As of June 30, 2025, Telecom’s mobile subscribers in Argentina (excluding TMA) totaled approximately 20.9 million (-278 thousand or -1.3% vs. 1H24). During 1H25, the full impact of the change in the disconnection policy for prepaid lines due to inactivity—implemented in July 2024—was recorded. This change reduced the number of days without top-ups required for line deactivation and largely explains the 2.8% decline in the prepaid base. Meanwhile, the postpaid base increased by 1.1% vs. 1H24. As of June 30, 2025, postpaid accesses represented 39% of total mobile accesses.

 

As of June 30, 2025, TMA’s mobile subscribers totaled approximately 19.3 million (+464 thousand or +2.5% vs. 1H24), including M2M-type accesses totaling 2.8 million (+287 thousand or +11.6%). The postpaid base increased by 3.1% vs. 1H24, while the prepaid base grew by 1.9%. As of June 30, 2025, postpaid accesses represented 48% of total mobile accesses. TMA’s average monthly churn stood at 1.6% in 1H25 (vs. 2.0% average in 1H24).

 

In 1H25, consolidated mobile service revenues in Argentina reached P$1,532,029 million (+P$684,175 million or +80.7% vs. 1H24). This increase was primarily driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which totaled P$572,126 million. Excluding the impact of TMA’s consolidation, the growth was mainly attributable to a 12.6% real increase in ARPU.

 

The average monthly revenue per user (“ARPU”) for Telecom (excluding TMA) was P$7,444.0 in 1H25 (+12.6% in real terms vs. 1H24). The effect of restatement to the current measuring unit as of June 30, 2025 included in ARPU amounted to P$375.3 and P$2,514.6 in 1H25 and 1H24, respectively. Average monthly churn stood at 2.1% in 1H25 (vs. 1.6% average in 1H24).

 

The average monthly revenue per user (“ARPU”) for TMA was P$7,187.7 in 1H25 (+8.9% in real terms vs. 1H24). The effect of restatement to the current measuring unit as of June 30, 2025 included in ARPU amounted to P$367.2 and P$2,551.2 in 1H25 and 1H24, respectively.

 

Personal in Paraguay (“Núcleo”)

 

As of June 30, 2025, Núcleo’s subscriber base totaled 2.7 million, increasing 10.1% compared to 1H24. Of the total accesses, 72% corresponded to the prepaid segment and 28% to the postpaid segment, whereas as of June 30, 2024, prepaid accesses represented 74% and postpaid accesses 26%. Average monthly churn stood at 2.3% in 1H25 vs. 2.6% in 1H24.

 

During 1H25, mobile service revenues in Paraguay reached P$72,868 million, decreasing in real terms (-P$16,751 million vs. 1H24). This decline was driven by a reduction in ARPU, measured in constant pesos, partially offset by the appreciation of the guaraní against the Argentine peso and by growth in the customer base.

Consolidated internet service revenues reached P$744,556 million in 1H25, growing in real terms (+P$161,678 million or +27.7% vs. 1H24). Telecom’s subscriber base (excluding TMA) reached 4.1 million subscribers (+60 thousand or +1.5% vs. 1H24) during 1H25. The monthly churn rate for internet services stood at 1.2% and 1.9% as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

The revenue increase was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which totaled P$131,955 million. Excluding the impact of TMA’s consolidation, the 5.1% increase for Telecom (excluding TMA) was primarily due to higher ARPU and subscriber growth.

 

TMA’s subscriber base reached 1.6 million (+90 thousand or +6.0% vs. 1H24) during 1H25. The average monthly churn rate for internet services as of June 30, 2025 was 2.0% (vs. 1.8% in 1H24).

 

In 1H25, Telecom’s broadband ARPU (excluding TMA), expressed in constant currency as of June 30, 2025, reached P$23,755.4 (+6.3% in real terms vs. 1H24).

Additionally, in 1H25, TMA’s broadband ARPU, expressed in constant currency as of June 30, 2025, reached P$21,410.5 (+15.6% in real terms vs. 1H24). The effect of restatement to current measurement units as of June 30, 2025 included in ARPU amounted to P$1,093.8 and P$7,158.8 for 1H25 and 1H24, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2025, accesses with internet speeds of 100 Mbps or higher represented 92% of the total subscriber base (vs. 86% as of June 30, 2024).

 

 

 

 

 

Cable TV Services

 

Consolidated revenues from cable television services reached P$386,699 million in 1H25 (+P$47,827 million or +14.1% vs. 1H24). The number of TV subscribers for Telecom (excluding TMA), including Uruguay and Paraguay, totaled 3.4 million (+62 thousand or +1.9% vs. 1H24). TV subscribers for TMA amounted to 0.4 million (-27 thousand or -6.1% vs. 1H24).

 

The positive revenue variation in Argentina was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which contributed P$34,110 million. Excluding the impact of TMA’s consolidation, the 4.0% increase for Telecom (excluding TMA) was primarily due to a 5.3% increase in ARPU and a 1.9% growth in the customer base compared to 1H24.

 

The subscriber base in Argentina for Telecom (excluding TMA) reached 3.2 million accesses as of June 30, 2025, reflecting a 2.3% increase vs. 1H24. This growth was supported by Flow Full and Flow Flex products, the latter being fully digital (no decoder or installation required). Of this customer base, 1.6 million were subscribed to Flow, and Premium subscriptions totaled 1.2 million as of 1H25, increasing 2.1% vs. 1H24.

 

Flow continues to strengthen its positioning in the entertainment segment, enhancing customer experience through services such as the recent launch of Flow+ (a flexible entertainment offering that includes two interchangeable subscriptions every 30 days among Pack Fútbol, HBO, Disney+ Premium, and Universal+, all under a single plan).

 

The monthly TV ARPU for Telecom (excluding TMA), expressed in constant currency as of June 30, 2025, reached P$16,297.1 in 1H25 (+5.3% in real terms vs. 1H24). The inflation adjustment effect included in ARPU amounted to P$435.5 and P$5,746.3 for 1H25 and 1H24, respectively.

The average monthly churn rate for cable TV was 1.5% for Telecom (excluding TMA) as of June 30, 2025, compared to 1.8% as of June 30, 2024. For TMA, churn stood at 4.0% and 3.3% as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Fixed Telephony and Data Services

 

Consolidated revenues from fixed voice and data services reached P$394,652 million in 1H25 (+P$86,097 million or +27.9% vs. 1H24).

 

The variation in Argentina is mainly explained by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which amounted to P$147,177 million.

 

The real-term decline of 19.8% in the fixed voice and data segment for Telecom (excluding TMA) is primarily due to the evolution of the exchange rate lagging behind inflation, in a context where most data segment contracts are indexed to the exchange rate. Additionally, fixed voice revenues increased below inflation, and the segment also experienced a decline in its customer base.

 

Telecom’s fixed telephony customer base (excluding TMA) totaled 2.7 million in 1H25, of which 2.0 million correspond to IP line customers. TMA’s telephony customer base reached 2.1 million, with 1.5 million being IP line customers.

 

Other Service Revenues

 

Consolidated revenues from other service revenues, which primarily include revenues related to fintech services, billing and collection services on behalf of third parties, administrative fees, and advertising space sales, among others, reached P$30,182 million (+P$5,448 million or +22.0% vs. 1H24).

 

The main variation was driven by the increase in fintech services in Argentina, primarily due to the growth in usage of the Personal Pay digital wallet and the rise in the number of users, which reached 4.2 million in 1H25 vs. 2.9 million in 1H24.

 

Revenues from equipment sales

 

Consolidated equipment sales revenues totaled P$196,018 million (+P$64,426 million or +49.0% vs. 1H24). This variation was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which amounted to P$72,266 million, while equipment sales for Telecom (excluding TMA) declined by 6.0% in real terms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consolidated Operating Costs

 

Consolidated Operating Costs including Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment of Fixed Assets amounted to P$3,180,977 million in 1H25 (+P$770,298 million or +32.0% vs. 1H24).

 

Excluding Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment of Fixed Assets, consolidated operating costs increased by P$716,005 million or 43.8% in real terms during the same period. Operating costs for 1H25 include P$730,835 million, corresponding to the consolidation of TMA.

 

The cost breakdown was as follows:

 

·Labor costs and severance payments totaled P$803,339 million in 1H25 (+P$253,405 million or +46.1% vs. 1H24). The increase was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which contributed P$252,997 million. Total headcount reached 19,469 employees as of June 30, 2025.

 

·Interconnection and transmission costs, which also include roaming, correspondent services, and line and circuit rentals, amounted to P$94,450 million in 1H25 (+P$20,065 million or +27.0% vs. 1H24). The increase was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which contributed P$52,568 million. Excluding the impact of TMA’s consolidation, the decrease was primarily due to optimization in the use of links and sites and lower traffic volumes.

 

     TELECOM ARGENTINA6     

 

 

 

 

·Fees for services, maintenance, and materials: P$425,083 million in 1H25 (+P$105,849 million or +33.2% vs. 1H24). The increase was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which contributed P$121,613 million. Excluding the impact of TMA’s consolidation, the decrease was mainly due to improved efficiencies, with lower maintenance and material costs and reduced service fees compared to 1H24.

 

·Taxes, fees, and regulatory charges: P$289,138 million (+P$108,836 million or +60.4% vs. 1H24). Regulatory costs in 1H25 include P$92,523 million corresponding to TMA.

 

·Commissions and advertising (agents, collection commissions, and other fees): Charges totaled P$182,714 million in 1H25 (+P$61,886 million or +51.2% vs. 1H24). The increase was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which contributed P$58,241 million.

 

·Cost of equipment sold totaled P$147,926 million in 1H25 (+P$44,968 million or +43.7% vs. 1H24). This variation was mainly driven by the consolidation of TMA’s results in 1H25, which contributed P$53,751 million.

 

·Programming and content costs: P$163,277 million (+P$33,077 million or +25.4% vs. 1H24). Programming and content costs in 1H25 include P$18,243 million corresponding to TMA.

·Bad debt expenses in 1H25 include P$20,924 million corresponding to TMA. The charge for bad debt continued to show a favorable trend: it represented 2.0% of total revenues as of June 30, 2025 (vs. 2.1% in 1H24).

 

·Other operating costs, which include litigation and contingency charges, energy and other utilities, insurance, rentals, and internet capacity, among others, amounted to P$177,701 million (+P$70,888 million or +66.4% vs. 1H24). TMA’s contribution to 1H25 totaled P$59,975 million.

 

·Depreciation, amortization, and impairment of fixed assets: totaled P$831,126 million (+P$54,293 million or +7.0% vs. 1H24). The charge for the period includes P$196,700 million corresponding to the consolidation of TMA and reflects the impact of amortizations from additions after June 30, 2024, partially offset by the effect of assets that reached the end of their useful life after that date.

 

 

Net Financial Results

 

Net financial results (including financial debt costs and other net financial results) showed a consolidated loss of P$215,364 million in 1H25 (vs. a gain of P$1,792,664 million in 1H24). This variation was mainly driven by:

 

 

*Related to Notes issued in UVA

 

The variation in consolidated net financial results in 1H25 was mainly explained by a higher loss from foreign exchange differences, measured in real terms, of P$2,024,452 million. This was driven by inflation of 15.1% versus a 16.8% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Argentine

 

     TELECOM ARGENTINA7     

 

 

 

 

peso (vs. inflation of 79.8% and a 12.8% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in 1H24). Additionally, there were higher financial debt interest expenses of P$56,856 million due to increased borrowing, partially offset by higher gains from loan adjustments of P$104,722 million, resulting from the maturity of UVA-denominated notes, which reduced the outstanding principal balance and, consequently, the associated financial charges.

 

Income Tax

 

Telecom’s income tax includes the following effects:

 

i)the current income tax, determined based on the current tax legislation applicable to Telecom,

 

ii)the effect of applying the deferred tax method with respect to temporary differences determined by comparing our asset and liability valuation according to tax and financial accounting criteria which includes the effect of the income tax inflation adjustment.

 

Consolidated income tax resulted in a loss of P$34,473 million in 1H25 (vs. a loss of P$504,015 million in 1H24). Current income tax losses amounted to P$223,343 million in 1H25 (vs. a loss of P$7,721 million in 1H24), while the effect of deferred income tax in 1H25 was a gain of P$188,870 million (vs. a loss of P$496,294 million in 1H24).

 

Consolidated Net Financial Debt

 

As of June 30, 2025, our net financial debt (cash, cash equivalents – net of Client Funds - plus financial investments and financial NDF* minus loans) is negative and amounted to P$4,029,971 million, which represents an increase of P$1,113,767 when compared to the net financial debt as of December 31, 2024, restated by inflation. This increase was mainly driven by the financing obtained for the acquisition of TMA.

 

* Contemplates rate swaps and NDF (non-delivery forwards) agreements.

 

Investments in PP&E, intangible assets and rights of use assets

 

As of June 30, 2025, consolidated CAPEX (additions of PP&E and intangible assets) totaled P$481,189 million (+53.7% vs. 1H24). Including additions from rights of use, total investments amounted to P$573,242 million, of which P$132,492 million correspond to TMA.

 

The investments were focused on:

 

·Expansion of both fixed and mobile data services to improve transmission and access speed offered to customers, the deployment of 4G coverage and capacity, and continued expansion of 5G to support mobile internet growth and enhance service quality.

TAX Matters - TMA

 

On May 15, 2025, our subsidiary Telefónica Móviles Argentina S.A. (TMA) paid P$83,070,480,057 to the tax authorities in respect of taxes and compensatory interest arising from its acquisition by Telecom Argentina on February 24, 2025. This payment was made because the two-year period required by tax regulations for the merger by absorption of Telefónica Argentina S.A. (TASA) into TMA to be considered tax-free had not yet elapsed.

Regulatory Matters – TMA Acquisition

 

On June 19, 2025, the Company was notified of a Resolution issued by the Secretary of Industry and Commerce, through which it was informed of the Technical Report issued by the CNDC, considered as the preliminary objection report under Article 14 of Law No. 27,442.

 

 

     TELECOM ARGENTINA9     

 

 

 

 

 

 

This report does not constitute a final decision nor the imposition of sanctions, but rather a formal stage of the proceeding that enables the parties to exercise their right to defense, submit responses, or propose commitments to mitigate potential anticompetitive effects.

 

Accordingly, pursuant to the aforementioned resolution, the Secretary of Industry and Commerce granted a 15-day period for the Company to submit any comments it deemed appropriate regarding the preliminary objection report and/or, if deemed suitable, to offer potential remedies. To that end, a special hearing was also convened, the date of which will be set by the CNDC in due course.

 

The Company believes that the aforementioned objection report was issued and notified prematurely, at an early stage of the process, without having all the necessary information and without the full completion of the approval stages established under the competition law. In this regard, the Company disagrees with the preliminary conclusions set forth in the report and has focused on analyzing all the statements made by the CNDC therein, as well as preparing all relevant submissions and technical data in response (including information included in the F2 form, which was recently submitted and is pending review by the CNDC).

 

On August 5, 2025, the Company responded in a timely and proper manner to the transfer of the preliminary objection report issued by the CNDC. Along with this submission, and without this being interpreted in any way as an acknowledgment that the transaction raises a competition defense issue, the Company expressed its willingness to assume possible commitments that address the provisional concerns outlined in the preliminary objection report which, if accepted by the CNDC and implemented by the Company, could constitute feasible remedies to such concerns.

 

The Company estimates that, under reasonable and normal market conditions, none of these proposed remedies would have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business nor impair its ability to meet its financial obligations.

 

For further information, refer to Note 16 of the financial statements as of June 30, 2025.

These factors include, among others: (i) the Company’s ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to achieve synergies resulting from the Merger; (ii) the Company’s ability to introduce new products and services that enable business growth; (iii) uncertainties relating to political and economic conditions in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and the United States, including the policies of the new government in Argentina; (iv) the impact of political developments, including the policies of the new government in Argentina, on the demand for securities of Argentine companies; (v) inflation, the devaluation of the peso, the Guaraní and the Uruguayan peso and exchange rate risks in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay; (vi) restrictions on the ability to exchange Argentine or Uruguayan pesos or Paraguayan guaraníes into foreign currencies and transfer funds abroad; (vii) the impact of currency and exchange measures or restrictions on our ability to access the international markets and our ability to repay our dollar-denominated indebtedness; (viii) the creditworthiness of our actual or potential customers; (ix) the nationalization, expropriation and/or increased government intervention in companies; (x) technological changes; (xi) the impact of legal or regulatory matters, changes in the interpretation of current or future regulations or reform and changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the Company operates, including regulatory developments such as sanctions regimes in other jurisdictions (e.g., the United States) which impact on the Company’s suppliers; (xii) the effects of increased competition; (xiii) reliance on content produced by third parties; (xiv) increasing cost of the Company’s supplies; (xv) inability to finance on reasonable terms capital expenditures required to remain competitive; (xvi) fluctuations, whether seasonal or in response to adverse macro-economic developments, in the demand for advertising; (xvii) the Company’s ability to compete and develop our business in the future; (xviii) the impact of increased national or international restrictions on the transfer or use of telecommunications technology; and (xix) the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the global economy and specifically on the economies of the countries in which we operate, as well as on our operations and financial performance. Many of these factors are macroeconomic and regulatory in nature and therefore beyond the control of the Company’s management. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The Company does not intend and does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from our future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are encouraged to consult the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and the periodic filings made on Form 6-K, which are periodically filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the presentations periodically filed before the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores) and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos), for further information concerning risks and uncertainties faced by the Company.
