27 DEFINITIONS 1/2 4G users are mobile customers who used fourth-generation (4G or LTE) network technologies during the three months prior to the measurement date. ARPU (average revenue per user) measures the monthly average revenue per mobile user. We generally calculate ARPU by dividing our mobile Telecommunications revenue (generated by our own subscribers) and digital revenue during the relevant period by the average number of our mobile customers during the period and the number of months in that period. Telecommunications revenue includes all mobile connectivity-related revenue generated by our own mobile subscribers, exclusive of revenue from device sales. Digital revenue is fully included, except for revenue from fixed services. Mobile ARPU (average revenue per user) measures the monthly average mobile Telecommunications revenue generated by our own subscribers during the relevant period per mobile user. Telecommunications revenue includes all mobile connectivity-related revenue generated by our own mobile subscribers, exclusive of revenue from device sales. Capital expenditures (capex) are purchases of property and equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long-lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to the intended use of the non-current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Purchases of licenses and capitalized leases are not included in capital expenditure. Capex intensity is a ratio, which is calculated as last-twelve-month (LTM) capex divided by LTM total revenue. Digital customers are gross total cumulative users for the reported period of all digital platforms, services and applications offered by an entity or by the Group and include users who are active in more than one application. Digital-Only customers represent the total cumulative users across all digital platforms who are not VEON mobile subscribers. This measure includes users who are active in more than one application. Digital revenues include digital services and platforms, spanning entertainment (gaming, music, and video streaming), financial services (mobile payments, wallets, insurance, lending), e-commerce, ride- hailing, SuperApps, and all revenues under secondary brands. It also includes enterprise solutions such as AdTech, Enterprise Identity and credentials management services, Big Data, cloud, and IoT, as well as digital offerings in education and health. Digital EBITDA represents the portion of EBITDA generated from VEON’s digital services and platforms. Digital EBITDA is calculated by applying the definition of EBITDA to the results of operations attributable to these digital services and platforms. For Group Digital EBITDA, no HQ costs are allocated or included. HQ costs are excluded in full to reflect the standalone performance of the digital businesses. Doubleplay 4G customers are mobile customers who engaged in usage of our voice and data services over 4G (LTE) technology at any time during the one month prior to such measurement date. . EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and is called Adjusted EBITDA in the 2025 Form 20-F published by VEON. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of the results as reported under IFRS. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period, before impairment loss, financial expenses and costs, net foreign exchange gain/(loss), share of profit/(loss) of associates and joint ventures, and listing expense, which is also excluded from the calculation. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA (as defined above) divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. EBITDAaL is calculated as EBITDA (as defined above) after lease expense. Equity free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as free cash flow from operating activities and cash flow from investing activities, including proceeds from (partial) sale of businesses but excluding license payments, banking cash flows, cash outflows related to business acquisitions, inflow/outflow of deposits and financial assets. Cash flows from financing activities like lease payments, debt issuance or re-payments and proceeds from issuance of shares are excluded. Financial services encompass a comprehensive suite of financial solutions delivered through digital platforms. These include cash deposits and withdrawals, retail payments, P2P transfers, utilities and Telecommunications bill payments, debit card, payment gateway, digital lending, insurance, and other financial services. Gross debt is calculated as the sum of short term and long term interest bearing debt and includes bank loans, bonds, lease liabilities, and equipment financing. It excludes spectrum and license related payment obligations, accrued interest, unamortized debt-issuance fees and other liabilities that do not have the characteristics of traditional banking debt. Gross merchandise value (GMV) is calculated as total monetary value of goods or services facilitated through the platform over a given period, before deducting commissions, fees, discounts, refunds, or costs. Identified items are amounts impacting revenues and/or EBITDA, which may be recurring in nature but are not operational. Underlying revenues, and/or EBITDA and/or EBITDA margin exclude such identified items. Local currency (or “LCY”) trends (growth/decline) in revenue and EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and EBITDA, excluding foreign currency movements (“constant FX”). LCY trends underlying (growth/decline) are alternative performance measures calculated as local currency trends excluding identified items and other factors, such as businesses under liquidation, disposals, mergers and acquisitions with an absolute amount of USD 5 million or more. We present certain financial information in respect of our operating companies in local currency terms. This non-IFRS financial measure is intended to present the results of our operating companies in local currency amounts and thus exclude the impact of translating such local currency amounts to our reporting currency, U.S. dollars, improving the comparability of results between periods. Our management believes that this increase in comparability between periods provides an additional and meaningful assessment of performance for our management and for the investors.


 
28 DEFINITIONS 2/2 Mobile customers (also - mobile subscribers) are generally customers in the registered customer base at a given measurement date who engaged in a mobile revenue generating activity at any time during the three months prior to such measurement date. Such activity includes any outgoing calls, customer fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS and MMS, data transmission and receipt sessions, but does not include incoming calls, SMS and MMS or abandoned calls. Our total number of mobile customers also includes customers using mobile internet service via USB modems and fixed-mobile convergence (“FMC”). Multiplay customers are Doubleplay 4G customers who also engaged in usage of one or more of our digital products at any time during the one month prior to such measurement date. Effective 1Q25, 4G usage below the 100Mb threshold is included in Multiplay and Double Play 4G user count (excluded prior to 1Q25). Net debt Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure and is calculated as the sum of interest-bearing long- term debt, including capitalized leases (unless specifically excluded) and short-term notional debt minus cash and cash equivalents and deposits (USD 4 million as of June 30, 2026; USD 4 million as of March 31, 2026 and USD 1 million as of June 30, 2025), excluding cash and cash deposits from our banking operations in Pakistan, long-term and short-term deposits. We believe that net debt provides useful information to investors because it shows the amount of notional debt that would be outstanding if available cash and cash equivalents and deposits and long-term and short-term deposits were applied to repay such indebtedness. Net debt should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to long-term debt and short-term debt, or any other measure of our financial position. Revenues from telecommunications services and from infrastructure (“Telecom and infrastructure revenues” or “Telecom and infra revenues”) are revenues generated by VEON from providing telecommunication and infrastructure services. Telecommunication services refer to fixed and mobile voice, data, interconnection, roaming, messaging, and value-added services. Infrastructure services refer to leasing or providing third-party access to physical network assets, such as towers and fiber-optic lines, owned by VEON, allowing external entities to utilize these resources. EBITDA from telecommunications services and from infrastructure (“Telecom and infrastructure EBITDA” or “Telecom and infra EBITDA”) represents the portion of EBITDA generated from VEON’s telecommunications and infrastructure operations. Telecom/Infra EBITDA is calculated by applying the definition of EBITDA to the results of these telecom and infrastructure activities. All HQ costs are fully included in Group Telecom/Infra EBITDA. VEON’s reportable segments are the following, which are principally based on business activities in different geographical areas: Pakistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan. We also present our results of operations for “Others” and “HQ” separately, although these are not reportable segments. “Others” represents our operations in Kyrgyzstan (sold during the third quarter of 2025) and “HQ” represents transactions related to management activities within the group in Dubai.
