BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2019 / Cablevision Holding S.A., ("Cablevision Holding", "CVH" or "the Company" - BCBA: CVH; LSE: CVH; Level 1: CVHSY), controlling shareholder of Telecom Argentina S.A. (NYSE: TEO, BCBA: TECO2), announced today its first half and second quarter 2019 Results. Figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are stated in constant Argentine Pesos ("Ps." or "P$") as of June 30, 2019, unless otherwise indicated.

The Company's Management has applied IAS 29 in the preparation of these financial statements (inflation adjustment) because Resolution 777/18, issued by the Comision Nacional de Valores ("CNV"), establishes that the restatement will be applied to the annual financial statements.

CVH Highlights (1H19 vs. 1H18):

• Total Revenues reached Ps. 94,756 million, a decrease of 11.5% in real terms as of June 30, 2019, compared to 1H18, mainly driven by lower mobile and cable services revenues.
• Total Costs (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization) reached Ps. 63,070 million, a decrease of 8.4% in constant currency, mainly driven by lower taxes and fees, commissions and advertising and cost of handsets sold.
• EBITDA reached Ps. 31,686 million, a decrease of 17.1% in real terms compared to 1H18, mainly driven by lower revenues. EBITDA Margin was 33.4% in 1H19, compared to 35.7% in 1H18.
• Consolidated Net Income amounted to Ps. 6,333 million. Consolidated Net Income attributable to the Controlling Company amounted to Ps. 2,173 million.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

^{(1) EBITDA is defined as Total Revenues minus operating cost and expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of our performance. It is commonly used to analyze and compare media companies based on operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Nonetheless, EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, an indication of our financial performance, an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may compute EBITDA in a different manner; therefore, EBITDA as reported by other companies may not be comparable to EBITDA as we report it.
(2) EBITDA Margin is defined as EBITDA over Total Revenues.}
