* We count each subscriber as a separate RGU for each of our mobile, PayTV and fixed broadband service. Total RGUs are, therefore, not equal to the total number
of subscribers. For example, one subscriber who receives handset mobile services and mobile data services over our network and subscribes to our PayTV service is
counted as two RGUs, and one subscriber who receives handset mobile services, mobile data services, PayTV and OTT services over our network is counted as three
RGUs.
** ARPU is a measure we use to evaluate how effectively we are realizing potential revenues from subscribers of our various services. ARPU is calculated by adding
together, for each month in a given period, the total subscription-related revenues for that particular month divided by the average number of RGUs for that period.
*** 2020 ARPU and RGUs are calculated as proforma figures, including the acquisitions of Baltcom, Dautkom TV and Mezon as if consolidated from 1 January 2020.
**** IoT is excluded from Mobile RGUs and ARPU.

11PLT VII FINANCE S.à r.l.
Condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months and the three months ended 30 June 2021
(unaudited, all amounts in thousands EUR unless otherwise stated)
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
In the course of the Group’s legal restructuring, on 30 April 2020 the Company became an ultimate parent to PLT VII Finance B.V. and its direct
and indirect subsidiaries (further referred to as PLTF Group), which are now owned by the Company’s direct subsidiary PLT VII International
S.à r.l. There was no change in the substance of the reporting entity, and it was not a business combination. The condensed consolidated
interim financial information of the Company is presented using the values from the condensed consolidated interim financial information of the
previous group holding company. The restructuring was accounted for as a legal reorganization of the Company by PLT VII Finance B.V.,
therefore this condensed consolidated interim financial information of PLT VII Finance S.à r.l. is presented as a continuation of the former PLTF
Group, i.e.:
- the assets and liabilities of PLTF Group are recognised and measured at the pre-restructuring carrying amounts, without
remeasurement to fair value;
- the equity structure reflects the retained earnings and other equity balances of PLTF Group from the first period presented up until
immediately before the restructuring. The results of the period from 1 January 2020 to the date of the restructuring are those of PLTF
Group. However, the issued share capital appearing in this condensed consolidated interim financial information reflects the
reorganised equity structure of the Company as at 30 June 2021, being the parent of the consolidated group. The resulting difference
due to elimination of the Company’s investment in PLTF Group upon legal merger is recognised as the reorganization reserve (note
21) in the statement of financial position.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months and the three months ended 30 June 2021 has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as adopted by the European Union (the ‘EU’) and applicable to interim
financial reporting (International Accounting Standards (‘IAS’) 34 ‘Interim financial reporting’). This condensed consolidated interim financial
information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The amendments to IFRSs applicable from 1 January 2021 have no effects to Group financial reports for the six months period ended 30 June
2021.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies and
methods of computation applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31
December 2020, except for taxes on income, which are recognised in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average
annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. A separate estimated average annual effective income tax rate is determined for
each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information was approved for issue on 13 August 2021 by the board of directors.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation
uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December
2020, except of the following:
- On 20 September 2019, Bitė Latvija SIA signed an agreement regarding the purchase of 100% shares of Baltcom SIA and the deal
was finalized on 28 February 2020. In the context of the above-mentioned acquisition, the Group has granted a call option to a non-
related third party to purchase 50% of Baltcom’s share capital from the Group. Management concluded that this call option does not
represent a substantive voting right since exercising the option will require upfront approval from the relevant Competition Council
which is not deemed to be a routine activity and is therefore outside the control of both the Group and the third party. As a result
management concluded that the Group has control over Baltcom SIA. As such the Group should consolidate the financial information
of Baltcom SIA until such control is lost, i.e. when the call option is exercised and the approval from the Competition Council has
been received.

12PLT VII FINANCE S.à r.l.
Condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months and the three months ended 30 June 2021
(unaudited, all amounts in thousands EUR unless otherwise stated)
- In the context of the option granted, management has further assessed and concluded that the investment in Baltcom SIA does not
meet the criteria of an asset to be classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2021 because:
a) despite the fact that the Group has a put option, management does not intend to exercise the put option;
b) the third party has a call option which was extended until 31 December 2021 upon the request from the option holder. The
exercise of the call option is out of the control of the Group. Thus, the Group based on the call option outstanding (not having
an intention to exercise its own put option) cannot ensure whether or not the call option holder will issue the notice to exercise
the call option till the end of the year resulting in a firm purchase commitment till the option is valid.
In addition, management estimates that, given the potential formal procedures normally required in such cases (i.e. regulatory
approval) and the related timelines in case the third party decides to exercise the option, the closing of such transaction may further
extend and would not happen within 2021. Management will reassess this judgement at the end of every reporting period to consider
any changes in the circumstances.
4. Financial risk management
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency exchange risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow
interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required
in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group annual financial statements as of 31 December 2020. There
have been no changes in the Treasury policy and the risk management principles since the year end.
Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. To maintain
or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust an amount of dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new
shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
On 8 July 2020 PLT VII Finance S.à r.l. as an original borrower entered into a new Super Senior Facility Agreement with a consortium of banks
(ING bank N.V., London branch is acting as agent of the other finance parties) to obtain revolving credit facility in amount of EUR 50 million with
maturity in April 2025. The revolving credit facility bears interest at an annual rate of three months EURIBOR (in case of facility utilization in
other currencies – LIBOR) plus applicable margin, which depends on the Group’s Leverage Ratio and can be set in the range from 2% to 3%.
As of the date of this condensed consolidated interim financial information the margin rate is 2.75%.
On 16 July 2020 the Company as an original Issuer has issued senior secured notes in amount of EUR 650,000 thousand, with maturity on 5
January 2026. The Senior secured floating rate notes in amount of EUR 250,000 thousand bear interest at an annual rate of three months
EURIBOR (subject to a 0% floor) plus margin 4.625%. The interest on the Senior secured floating rate notes is payable quarterly on 15 January,
15 April, 15 July and 15 October of each year. The Senior secured fixed rate notes in amount of EUR 400,000 thousand bear interest at an
annual rate of 4.625%; the interest on the Senior secured fixed rate notes is payable semi-annually on 15 January and 15 July of each year.
The transaction costs related to the notes issue are amortized to the finance costs over the Notes’ term.
On 16 July 2020 part of the issued senior secured notes were used to fully repay the Group’s line of facilities under the Senior Term and
Revolving Facilities Agreement with a consortium of banks (ING bank N.V., London branch is acting as agent of the other finance parties). As
a consequence, the associated collaterals were lifted.
Under the Super Senior Facility Agreement, the Group is obliged to comply with the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio (‘the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio’), calculated as a ratio of the consolidated total net debt and the consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation expenses (‘EBITDA’). From 31 December 2020 the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is calculated and tested on a rolling quarter basis
if the test condition is met, i.e. if the outstanding principal amount of all loans exceeds 35% of total commitment or if Leverage ratio is needed
for margin rate review.

13PLT VII FINANCE S.à r.l.
Condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months and the three months ended 30 June 2021
(unaudited, all amounts in thousands EUR unless otherwise stated)
The Consolidated Leverage Ratio should not exceed a flat ratio of 8.00:1. The Group has the right to ‘cure’ a breach of the Leverage Ratio
covenant by receiving additional shareholder funding in cash (‘the Cure Amount’) within 20 business days after the last day of the relevant
period in which the breach would occur without the Cure Amount. Covenants are reviewed by lenders on a regular basis during the term of the
senior secured notes and facility. A breach of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, if not cured by no later than the date falling twenty (20) Business
Days after the date of the notice thereof, would enable the holders of the defaulted debt to terminate their commitments thereunder and cause
all amounts outstanding with respect to such indebtedness to become due and payable immediately.
The Treasury monitors the compliance with covenants on a regular basis as a breach of these ratios would be a major risk for the Group.
Fair value estimation
During 2021 there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments and no
reclassifications of financial assets.
The different levels of methods used to measure the fair value of the financial instruments (which are recognised and measured at fair value in
the statement of financial position) have been defined as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices)
or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The Group has longstanding arrangements with customer financing entities to transfer them the receivables owed by customers at the time the
equipment is sold to customer. The accounts receivables sold to customer financing entities are less than 1 month old at the time of sale and
all credit risk on the sold receivables is transferred to the customer financing entities at that time. In these sale transactions certain portions of
the price are initially held back and, depending on the amount of the actual defaults, are only paid to the Group at a later date. To the extent
that such portions of the purchase price are expected to be received in the future, they are recognized at fair value. Fair value is determined by
using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on the Group
specific estimates. Since the significant inputs required to fair value an instrument is observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
The Group’s lease receivables for equipment sales with deferred payment terms are discounted at market interest rate to arrive at the amortised
cost basis. The fair values of receivables are determined based on cash flows discounted using applicable statistical country’s interest rates for
loans with a maturity more than 1 year reported by state banks of Lithuania and Latvia. The fair value of lease receivables for equipment sales
approximates their carrying value as at 30 June 2021. This is a level 3 fair value measurement.
As at 30 June 2021 the fair value of the senior secured notes is EUR 655,632 thousand (31 December 2020: EUR 656,005 thousand). The
carrying value of the borrowings is disclosed in note 22.
On 28 February 2020, the Group has acquired 100% shares of Baltcom SIA together with its 32.12% investment in the shares of Balticom AS,
which is classified as an Other investment in the statement of financial position with a gain or loss from the changes in fair value (through annual
revaluations performed) recognized in other comprehensive income (note 10). The fair value is determined using level 3 inputs as the company
is not listed.
Due to the short-term nature of the trade and other current receivables, trade and other current liabilities, their carrying amount is considered
to be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current receivables, the fair values are also not significantly different to their
carrying amounts. There were no changes in the valuation techniques and the sources of inputs used in the fair value measurement since 31
December 2020.
