BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March 9, 2021

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 FY20 include the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting in accordance with IAS 29. Finally, comments related to variations of results of FY20 and vs. FY19 mentioned in this press release correspond to "figures restated by inflation" or "constant".

• For comparative purposes, it is important to highlight that the results restated by inflation corresponding to December 2019 contain the effect of year over year inflation as of December 2020, which amounted to 36.1%.
• Consolidated Revenues of Telecom Argentina amounted to P$301,596 million in FY20, from which Service Revenues totaled P$283,994 million (-6.3% in real terms vs. FY19). Services Revenues in 4Q20 totaled P$64,631 million (-14.3% vs. 4Q19).
