Telecom Argentina S.A.

announces consolidated annual results (“FY22”) and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 (“4Q22”) **

Note: For the figures included in their FFSS, 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 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 FY22 include the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting in accordance with IAS 29. Finally, comments related to variations of results of FY22 and vs. FY21 mentioned in this press release correspond to “figures restated by inflation” or “constant”. Moreover, Table 3 contemplates information broken down by segment for periods ended as of December 31 of 2022 and 2021, as analyzed by the Executive Committee and the CEO, who receive periodically the financial information of Telecom and its subsidiaries (in historical values). For further details, please refer to the titles of the financial tables beginning from page 11.

· | Previous year figures included for comparative purposes (December 2021) contain the effect of the year over year inflation as of December 2022, which was 94.8%.

· | Consolidated Revenues amounted to P$729,182 million in FY22 (-12.0% in constant currency vs. FY21), in a context of inflationary acceleration. Service Revenues totaled P$680,561 million (-11.7% in constant currency vs. FY21).

During FY22, the Company prepared to receive 5G technology by expanding the coverage, availability and capacity of the network through a technological reconversion and continuing the use of 4G. As of December 2022, we count with 180 5G mobile sites, mostly operating under DSS, located in Buenos Aires, Rosario, the Atlantic Coast, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Corrientes, Posadas and Paraná, with the objective of preparing the technical and regulatory conditions that allow the full development of the 5G network.

Núcleo’s mobile service revenues during FY22, amounted to P$25,077 million (-22.9% vs. FY21), mainly due to a decrease in ARPU measured in constant pesos, which was partially offset by the appreciation of the Guaraní against the Argentine peso.

Cable TV Services

Flow continued to strengthen its content offer by incorporating new products in music, national and international films, and gaming. During FY22, Flow subscribers alone reached 1.3 million.

Additionally, we continued to deploy the ISDB-T technology for analogic Flow subscribers in new cities, reaching more than 1.5 million subscribers in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires. Likewise, as part of the constant updating of devices, Flow commercially presented a new self-installing decoder with differential surround sound properties, Google Assistant, integrated Chromecast, 4K resolution, HDR, Dolby Vision, among others.. We have also presented a new Flow Flex service, which consists of a flexible paid TV proposal that allows customers to contract Flow’s services for a fixed period of time, with packages of 3, 7, 15 and 30 days.

The corporate segment continues to develop new solutions to help companies boost their business and continue to evolve digital transformation in this new context. During FY22 we

TELECOM ARGENTINA | 4

continued to offer value proposals, including Cybersecurity as an essential axis in this transformation process. Within this framework, the Company included in its offer Oracle Cloud solutions for companies that include application servers, databases and more. Additionally, Telecom reaffirmed the alliance with the Chamber of the Argentine Software Industry (CESSI) to work together with the more than 1,800 member companies, as technological advisors and help them in their digital transformation and evolution processes.

Internet Services

Internet services revenues totaled P$161,740 million during FY22 (-P$15,070 million or -8.5% vs. FY21). As of December 31, 2022, total broadband accesses reached approximately 4.1 million (-132 thousand vs. FY21).

Additionally, broadband ARPU (restated in constant currency as of December 31, 2022) amounted to P$3,052.4 in FY22 (vs. P$3,364.3 in FY21). The effect generated by the restatement in terms of the measuring unit as of December 31, 2022, included in the ARPU amounted to approximately P$798.3 and P$1,912.0 for the FY22 and FY21, respectively.

The Company continued to enhance the home connectivity experience of its customers, increasing the deployment of Fiber Optic to the Home (FTTH) in different locations throughout the country. These connections reach up to 300 megabytes, with low latency, multi-device connection and including the option of contracting Flow as an additional service, among other advantages.

Additionally, during the end of this fiscal year, Personal announced that it doubled the internet speed to all its home customers (with HFC, FTTH technology), going from 50 to 100 megabytes, from 100 to 300 megabytes and from 300 to 500 megabytes, and the lowest speeds went to 50 megabytes. Customers with a service of 100 Mb or more represent 79% of the customer base as of December 31, 2022, while in 2021 they represented 30%.

Revenues from equipment sales

Equipment revenues amounted to P$48,621 million (-P$9,420 million or -16.2% vs. FY21). Said decrease was mainly due to a lower volume of handsets sold (-15%), offset by an increase their average price of 66%, compared to FY21

Personal Pay

Our virtual wallet service, Personal Pay, which is constantly evolving, managed to find a place in this rapidly growing market in the country and the region, and ended the year with more than 700,000 customers. Leveraged by the strength of the mobile services ecosystem, customers choose reliability and convenience, and that’s the greatest differential of Personal Pay.

Consolidated Operating Costs

Consolidated Operating Costs (including D&A and impairment of fixed assets) totaled P$1,024,123 million in FY22 (+P$189,863 million or +22.8% vs. FY21). Excluding D&A and impairment of fixed assets, operating costs experienced a reduction of 7.3%.

The cost breakdown was as follows:

| · | Employees benefits and severance payments: P$182,664 million in FY22 (+P$3,799 million or +2.1% vs. FY21). Total employees amounted to 21,729 as of FY22.

TELECOM ARGENTINA | 5

| · | Interconnection and transmission costs (including roaming, international settlement charges and lease of circuits) were P$22,455 million (-24.5% vs. FY21). This saving was mainly due to a new business dynamic that optimizes our links and sites which has offset the increase in prices of services that are denominated in US dollars.

| · | Fees for services, maintenance, materials and supplies: P$88,456 million (-P$7,832 million vs. FY21). This decrease is mainly explained by a decrease in maintenance and material costs of $9,342 million vs. FY21, mainly offset by a higher cost of call center fees and other fees for services for $1,482 million compared to FY21.

| · | Taxes and fees paid to regulatory authorities: P$55,991 million (-12.2% vs. FY21). This decrease was mainly due to lower sales during FY22 vs FY21. These costs represent 7.7% of total revenues as of FY22 and FY21.

| · | Commissions and advertising (commissions paid to agents, collection fees and other commissions): P$44,166 million in FY22 (-7.0% vs. FY21). Said decrease was mainly explained by lower agent commission charges and collection fees, partially offset by a slight increase in advertisement costs related to campaigns related to Personal Pay (the Company’s electronic wallet) and cybersecurity services.

| · | Cost of handsets sold: P$34,540 million (-15.4% vs. FY21). These costs decreased mainly due to a lower volume of handsets sold (-15% vs. FY21), partially offset by a 68% increase in average cost of sales compared to FY21.

| · | Programming and content costs: P$45,741 million (-18.9% vs. FY21). Said reduction was mainly explained by commercial efficiencies, which were partially offset by price increases in almost all of our broadcasting signals.

| · | Other Costs totaled P$54,789 million (-3.6% vs. FY21), of which bad debt expenses reached P$18,342 million (+18.0% vs. FY21).

| · | Our bad debt ratio was 2.5% as of December 31, 2022 (vs. 1.9% in FY21). The increase was mainly due to the deteriorating economic situation in Argentina, which has a direct impact on our bad debt ratios. The bad debt ratio of the FY21 was impacted by post-pandemic collection improvements.

| · | Other operating costs (including charges for lawsuits and other contingencies, energy and other public services, insurance, rents and internet capacity) totaled P$36,447 million (-11.7% vs. FY21). The decrease is related to lower charges in almost all the lines that make up the item.

| · | Depreciation, amortization and impairment of fixed assets amounted to P$495,321 million (+87.6% vs. FY21). During FY22, we registered an impairment of goodwill of the Argentine CGU for $243,900 million (For more information, refer to Note 3.v.1.a of the financial statements). This charge also includes the impact of the amortization of assets incorporated after December 31, 2021, partially offset by the effect of the assets that were completely amortized after such date.

Net Financial Results

Net Financial Results (including Financial Expenses on Debt and Other Financial Results) were P$61,978 million in FY22 (vs. P$88,921 million in FY21), mainly due to:

TELECOM ARGENTINA | 6

Our income tax includes the following effects:

| i) | the tax to be paid according to applicable local tax legislation,

| ii) | the effect of applying the deferred tax method on temporary differences generated when comparing our asset and liability valuation according to tax and financial accounting criteria which includes the effect of the income tax inflation adjustment, and

| iii) | the effects mentioned in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

Income tax gain amounted to P$26,504 million in FY22 (vs. a loss of P$64,900 million in FY21). The gains according to item (i) above amounted to P$17,521 million in FY22 (vs. P$36,290 million in FY21) and the income tax effect related to the application of the deferred tax method described in item (ii) above was a gain of P$8,983 million in FY22 (vs. a loss of P$28,610 million in FY21).

Consolidated Net Financial Debt

As of December 31, 2022, our net financial debt (cash, cash equivalents plus financial investments and financial NDF* & interest rate swaps minus loans) amounted to P$420,446 million, decreasing P$39,822 when compared to the net financial debt as of December 31, 2021, adjusted by inflation.

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

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

During the FY22, the Company invested (including rights of use assets) P$147,266 million (-27.1% vs. FY21). Said investments represented 20.2% of consolidated revenues in FY22. Investments without including additions for right of use totaled $126,269 million (-24.2% vs. FY21).

The investments were focused on

| · | Projects related to improving internet transmission and access speed.

| · | Deployment and modernization of our 4G mobile access sites, supporting the growth in the coverage of our mobile network.

| · | Expansion of 5G to support the growth of the mobile internet and the improvement in the quality of service together with the launch of new Value Added Services
