Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 10, 2022 - Grupo Clarín S.A. ("Grupo Clarín" or the "Company" - LSE: GCLA; BCBA: GCLA), the largest media company in Argentina, announced today its Full Year and Last Quarter 2021 results. Figures in this report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (*) ("IFRS") as of December 31, 2021 and are stated in Argentine Pesos ("Ps"), 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 Comisión Nacional de Valores ("CNV"), establishes that the restatement will be applied to the financial statements.
Highlights (2021 vs. 2020):

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as Total Revenues minus cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and selling and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe that Adjusted 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, Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner; therefore, Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as we report it.
(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA over Total Revenues.

Total | 40,149.3 | 40,210.3 | (0.2%) | 10,967.7 | 10,489.8 | 11,854.5 | 4.6% | (7.5%) |
Cost of sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization) reached Ps. 22,540.3 million, a decrease of 4.0% from Ps. 23,488.3 million reported in 2020, mainly related to the un-consolidation of the postal business.
Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization) reached Ps. 11,369.0 million, a decrease of 3.8% from Ps. 11,823.2 million in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA reached Ps. 6,239.9 million, an increase of 27.4% from Ps. 4,898.8 million reported for 2020. This an increase was driven by higher advertising revenues in Broadcasting and Programming and lower costs in Digital and Printed Publications (partially offset by lower revenues).

Financial results net totaled Ps. (2,672.5) million compared to Ps. (1,528.3) million in 2020.

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in 2021 totaled Ps. 447.6 million, compared to Ps. 874.5 million in 2020, mainly related to costs savings in 2020 of our subsidiary Tele Red Imagen attributable to sports events rights, since there were no major sport events during 2020 in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic; and negative results in BIMO, partially offset by higher net income in our subsidiary Papel Prensa.

Income tax as of 2021 reached Ps. (1,200.3) million, from Ps. Ps. (1,058.3) million in 2020, mainly as a result of the change of the income tax rate, according to the Law N° 27,630, released on June 16th, 2021.
