TELECOM ARGENTINA

Earnings ReleaseMay 2019

1Q19

This presentation may contain statements that could constitute forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to (i) the Company’s

expectations for its future performance, revenues, income, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, liquidity and capital structure; (ii)

the synergies expected from the merger between the Company and Cablevisión S.A. (or the Merger); (iii) the implementation of the Company’s

business strategy; (iv) the changing dynamics and growth in the telecommunications and cable markets in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay; (v)

the Company’s outlook for new and enhanced technologies; (vi) the effects of operating in a competitive environment; (vii) the industry

conditions; (viii) the outcome of certain legal proceedings; and (ix) regulatory and legal developments. Forward-looking statements may be

identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “may” and “should” or other similar

expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the management of the Company with respect to future events. They are

not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. In addition, certain forward-looking

statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Many factors could cause actual results,

performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be

expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 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 and Uruguay; (iv)

inflation, the devaluation of the peso, the Guaraní and the Uruguayan peso and exchange rate risks in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay; (v)

restrictions on the ability to exchange Argentine or Uruguayan pesos or Paraguayan guaraníes into foreign currencies and transfer funds

abroad; (vi) the manner in which the Argentine government regulates Law No. 27,078, the Argentina Digital Law or, as amended by Decree No.

267/15; (vii) the creditworthiness of our actual or potential customers; (viii) the nationalization, expropriation and/or increased government

intervention in companies; (ix) technological changes; (x) 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; (xi) the effects of increased

competition; (xii) reliance on content produced by third parties; (xiii) increasing cost of the Company’s supplies; (xiv) inability to finance on

reasonable terms capital expenditures required to remain competitive; (xv) fluctuations, whether seasonal or in response to adverse macro-

economic developments, in the demand for advertising; and (xvi) the Company’s ability to compete and develop our business in the future. 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 orachievements 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.

D I S C L A I M E R

The Company has accounted for the effects of inflation adjustment adopted by Resolution 777/18

of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”), which establishes that the restatement for inflation

will be applied to the annual financial statements, for intermediate and special periods ended as of

December 31, 2018 inclusive. Accordingly, the reported figures corresponding to 1Q19 include

the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting in accordance with IAS 29. On the other

hand, in order to ease the understanding and analysis of the earnings evolution by its users,

additional figures of the income statements are included, which are non-restated for inflation and

which were used as the base for the information presented in constant pesos.
