A Executive summary
Full year to 30 June 2015 outperformed our guidance
Notes ‐ The Guidance was provided in the “Year ending 30 June 2014 results presentation” in September 2014‐ “EBITDA” refers to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. For covenant reporting purposes EBITDA is reported as
an adjusted figure of £422m for the full year to June 2015 (see page 24)‐ “EBITDA” and “Net cashflow after working capital and capex” above exclude exceptional costs‐ Senior net debt is shown as per covenant reporting definitions
Key highlights• Revenue 4% up year on year due
to growth in 4G installation services, new DTT channel sales, improved pricing on long term DTT channel renewals, and higher Smart Metering revenues
• EBITDA 3% up year on year due to increased revenues and reduced operating costs
• Net cashflow after working capital and capex down 7% year on year principally due to increased capex spend on Smart Metering more than offsetting EBITDA growth and lower working capital investment
• Senior leverage slightly down year on year due to improved EBITDA partially offset by impact of increase in senior net debt
• Orderbook 2% (£0.1bn) net increase year on year due to £0.9bn new contract additions offset by £0.8bn usage during full year to June 2015

Key market developments in the year A Executive summary
Market developments
Implications for Arqiva
MNO consolidation announced between EE and BT, and H3G and O2
• Arqiva has robust, long-term contracts with both network joint ventures – CTIL (Vodafone and O2) and MBNL (EE and H3G)• Deals require competition authority clearances • Long term impact remains uncertain and is complicated by the MNOs’ positions in the two major mobile network sharing
ventures• Given the likely timescales for a decision and the complexity of unwinding or reconfiguring network sharing deals, Arqiva
believes there is unlikely to be any material impact over the medium term• Potential deals may be an opportunity for Arqiva to be a focal point of any consolidation activity
BBC licence fee
• As per the UK budget announcement in July 2015 the BBC is to cover the cost of providing free television licences for over-75s. This will be phased in gradually from 2018-19
• Alternative funding mechanisms are being considered by the BBC • Arqiva has robust, long term contracts with BBC and other PSBs to at least 2030. Broadcast transmission costs are a small
fraction of licence fee revenues
700 MHz clearance and spectrum
• Plans being developed by Ofcom and industry stakeholders to clear 700MHz (694 MHz to 790 MHz) to use for mobile data• Arqiva is currently undertaking a capability assessment for Ofcom to identify the work required for the 700MHz Clearance• UK Government has budgeted up to £600m for the total cost of the 700Hz Clearance programme • Arqiva is uniquely placed to deliver the programme and expects to earn significant revenues
Internet of Things (IoT) expected to grow
• UK Government expected to provide £140m boost to technology industry to further develop IoT and smart cities in the UK• Arqiva developing Sigfox IoT network across ten major UK cities and running proof of concepts with potential customers
Increasing share of viewing via IP/broadband TV
• IPTV and OTT (“over the top”) continue to increase viewing share but DTT is still required for Public Service Broadcasters (PSB) to meet their 98.5% coverage obligations and has more than 19 million viewers
• Arqiva continues to embrace the changing TV landscape and is pursuing the following strategies:• Freeview Play – Supporting development of a new connected service that is promoted by the PSBs• Youview continues to support the DTT platform• Leading the industry towards T2 / HD future
WiFi and small cells growth
• Arqiva continues to develop its customer base and portfolio of WiFi access points from newly formed partnerships, deals and trials
• Small cells opportunity being developed as a solution for network congestion in dense urban areas. Trial activities in Londonwith all MNOs are in progress

• Other net interest £14m down year on year due to lower non-cash amortisation of debt issue charges
• Interest payable to parent undertakings £33m up year on yeardue to increase in principal amount of subordinated intercompany loans, owing to accrual of interest deferred in accordance with loan terms. At 30 June 2015, ABPL was released from £3,302m of intercompany loans previously due to its immediate parent, Arqiva Financing No 3 plc which will reduce the level of future charges.

Full year to 30 June 2016 guidance detailKey highlights• Revenue 1%-2% up year on year – growth
from Digital Platforms, installation services activity and M2M will be partially offset by exit of Secure Solutions
• EBITDA 1% up year on year – growth from revenues. Lower rate of growth compared to revenue is mainly due to lower margin installation services and reduced level of project revenues
• Net cashflow after working capital and capex up 14% year on year – expected to be driven by higher EBITDA and lower working capital
• Senior net debt up year on year as a result of continuing capital investments on smart metering
• Senior leverage slightly up year on year –increase in senior net debt expected to be proportionally higher than the EBITDA increase
Note‐ “EBITDA” refers to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. For covenant reporting
purposes EBITDA is reported as an adjusted figure of £428m for the full year to June 2016 (see page 24).‐ “EBITDA” and “Net cashflow after working capital and capex” above exclude exceptional costs‐ Senior net debt is reported as per covenant reporting definitions
