MNO Consolidation
Consolidation and Regulation Shaping Europe's Telecom Investment Outlook
Growing consensus among MNOs: scale, simplified regulation, and network sharing are essential to sustain long-term
"The plan acknowledges that investment in the European telecoms market has been inefficient due to the operators' lack of scale when compared to the US and Chinese markets, with fewer and much larger companies. While it does not include consolidation opportunities, the plan means that Telefónica will be fully prepared to seize any that may arise to create value for shareholders."
"Industry leaders and investors showed a broad consensus that market consolidation is essential to unlock efficiencies, attract investment and support next-generation technologies like 5G and AI. Evidence from recent telecom consolidations, like in Brazil and India, shows positive outcomes, including lower prices and increased investment capability, they said."
"VodafoneThree's £11bn investment will boost UK economic output (GVA) UK by as much as £102.75 bn between 2025-
2035…" - Vodafone UK press release, 22 September 2025."

investment
"Unless the Commission takes bold action with a clearly stated intent to address the need for scale, European industries will
continue to lack the strength to invest at the same pace as their competitors in the United States, Asia and other markets."
"Existing regulation frustrates efforts to encourage essential investment. Simplifying this framework, reducing the regulatory
burden and prioritising speed and agility must be priorities for the new Commission."

MNO Consolidation
MNO Consolidation in Key Markets - Spain and the UK
Consolidation dynamics in both Spain and the UK reinforce Cellnex's strategic positioning and visibility, with a healthier MNO
ecosystem driving additional market investments
Stronger strategic partnerships with better capitalized MNOs, incentivized to invest and improve NW quality
Well positioned to benefit from regulators promoting investment in NW quality and coverage
Contract NPV preserved validating strength of MSAs in all cases
Extended the duration of our MSAs - Greater long-term visibility and contractual stability
MasMovil/Orange Merger : additional contracted services and extended MSAs to 2048 (all-or-nothing exit window in 2038)
Reinforced collaboration around future densification and service expansion
TEF RAN sharing agreement to deliver up to 3K Digi RAN share PoPs and 110 additional physical PoPs TEF
Extended Vodafone and VMO2 MSA (2035+10+10) and future elimination of intermediaries, preserving economic value and reduction in execution complexity
Savings reinvested to optimize network architecture eliminating
network inefficiencies and improving quality
VodafoneThree investment programme (11 Billion GBP) set to drive additional market growth and potential catch-up from remaining MNOs

MNO Consolidation
MNO Consolidation in Key Markets - France
Cellnex operates around 32k Pops in France, of which over 80% under "all or nothing" contracts and c.57% outside dense areas
More than 80% of our PoPs are under "All or Nothing" MSA
contracts, with max average respiration rate <1%
Cellnex' consent is needed for change in MSAs, including transfer or contract split
Very low risk in rural areas due to SFR Bouygues RAN sharing
Cellnex will inevitably be part of the discussions
Opportunity to define a win-win value proposition, preserving NPV of contracts and securing relationships with financially healthier clients
Minimize PoPs lost, and maximize use of committed and future
programs for densification and technological readiness
Out of our total SFR PoPs, c.12k, a little over 40% are in dense areas
Of these, less than 10% are non-anchor PoPs
Limited potential for churn based on detailed analysis of dense areas, according to traffic intensity and inter site distance
Densification is needed
As of today, MNOs are already launching programmes to densify their networks in urban areas;
France ranks #49 in terms of 4/5G availability according to Opensignal
ARCEP obligations (New Deal, 5G) require new sites by 2030, especially in rural areas and along transport corridors

Term Definition
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA relates to the "Operating profit" before "Depreciation, amortization and results from disposals of fixed assets" and after adding back certain non-recurring expenses (such as donations, redundancy provision, extra compensation and benefit costs, and costs and taxes related to acquisitions, among others), as well as certain non-cash expenses (LTIP remuneration payable in shares, among others) and advances to customers. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance indicator of its business units and it is widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders. At the same time, it is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure adopted in accounting standards and, therefore, should not be considered an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, cannot be compared to the Adjusted EBITDA of other companies. One commonly used metric that is derived from Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is an APM. Please see slide 31 for certain information on the limitations of APMs
Adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted EBITDA Margin corresponds to Adjusted EBITDA, divided by "revenues ex pass through". Thus, it excludes elements passed through to customers from both expenses and revenues, mostly electricity costs, the utility fee, as well as Advances to customers, business rates, rents and others. The Group uses Adjusted EBITDA Margin as an operating performance indicator and it is widely used as an evaluation metric among analysts, investors, rating agencies and other stakeholders.

One of the main assumptions relates to the contract renewals, and in accordance with the consolidated financial statements, contracts for services have renewable terms including, in some cases, 'all or nothing' clauses and in some instances may be cancelled under certain circumstances by the customer at short notice without penalty.
Build-to-suit (BTS) Capex Corresponds to committed Build-to-suit programs (consisting of new and dismantled sites, backhaul, backbone, edge computer centers, DAS nodes or any other type of telecommunication infrastructure as well as any advanced payment related to it).

PoP (Point of Presence) A customer configuration based on the most typical technological specifications for a site within which the active equipment and antennas are owned by the customer or by Cellnex. Furthermore, a PoP must also have an associated income. The definition is always subject to management's view, independently of the technology used or type of service such customer provides.
In the 5G/IoT network ecosystem, this definition of PoP could be reviewed as new customer configurations might also be considered a PoP, especially in relation to new site-adjacent asset classes, subject again to the management's view.
Revenues Revenues correspond to Operating Income excluding Advances to customers (please see note 19a in our Interim Financial Statements ended 30 June 2025)
