Safe Harbour
These presentations contain statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding the intent, belief or
current expectations of developments and changes in the customer base, estimates regarding future growth in the different business lines and
the global business, market share, financial results and other aspects of the activities and situation relating to the Company and the Group. Such
forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ
materially from those projected or implied in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. Consequently, Telecom Italia S.p.A.
makes no representation, whether expressed or implied, as to the conformity of the actual results with those projected in the forward looking
statements. Forward-looking information is based on certain key assumptions which we believe to be reasonable as of the date hereof, but
forward looking information by its nature involves risks and uncertainties, which are outside our control, and could significantly affect expected
results. Analysts and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date of
this presentation. Telecom Italia S.p.A. undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward looking
statements which may be made to reflect events and circumstances after the date of this presentation, including, without limitation, changes in
Telecom Italia S.p.A. business or acquisition strategy or planned capital expenditures or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Analysts and investors should consult the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F as well as periodic filings made on Form 6-K, which are on file
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission which may identify factors that affect the forward looking statements included
herein.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements as of, and for the full year ended, 31
December 2013 have been applied on a basis consistent with those adopted in the Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements at 31
December 2012, to which reference can be made, except for the new standards and interpretations adopted by Telecom Italia, which, other than
for the prospective adoption of IFRS 13 (Fair Value measurement), didn’t impact on the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements as of,
and for the full year ended, 31 December 2013. Please note that the audit of the Telecom Italia Separate and Consolidated Financial
Statements at 31 December 2013 has not yet been completed.
Some data for the first quarter 2012, used in comparisons, included in this presentation have been restated as a result of the early adoption,
starting from the first half 2012, of the revised version of IAS 19 (Employee Benefits) and the reclassification of Matrix (company that was
disposed of on October 31, 2012) from the Business Unit Domestic–Core Domestic to the Business Unit Other Activities. Furthermore, on
November 13, 2013, the Telecom Italia Group accepted an offer to sell its entire controlling stake in Sofora Group – Telecom Argentina (Business
Unit Argentina). Consequently , the latter was accounted for as Discontinued Operations (Assets held for sale) starting from the current Annual
Report as of December 31, 2013.

Brazil: Sharpening our Marketing Approach
A new way to look at the pre-paid segment
From a two-tier market …
a
…to the addition of a new customer profile:
• pre-paid = “low value “ customers
&
• post-paid = “high value” customers
• a new way to look at pre-paid: higher users in this segment
create a potential CB basin where to upsell clients a
“hybrid” post paid concept 
Plan Controle = the “mid value” customers
Leverage on Mobile BB
b
Now: increasing Small- Screen penetration
in our CB:
the best-fitting way to deliver and sell our MBB
strategy
Next: strengthening our Network to widely
address and capture intensive users (Large screen)
From multi SIM to single SIM
c
The forthcoming MTR cuts will imply:
 negative effect in the short term off-net costs reduction increasing value per line on pre-paid segment (opportunity
to regain share of wallet of Multi-SIM customers)
Our Customers will grow and will be worth more
