32.2 M net additions 2005
With 9.7 million net subscriber additions in the fourth quarterour largest ever in terms of organic growththe total net additions for 2005 rose to 32.2 million. This brought América Móvil's wireless subscriber base to 93.3 million, all of them in the Americas, representing a 52.7% expansion of our subscriber base in the year. Nearly all the subscribers were equity (or proportional) subscribers. In addition to our wireless base, América Móvil had 2.0 million fixed lines at the end of 2005, for a combined total of 95.3 million lines.
8 M net adds in Colombia
In 2005 our Colombian operations experienced the greatest growth in absolute terms, with 8.0 million subscribers, followed by Mexico's, with 7.1 million; Brazil's, with 5.0 million; and Argentina's, with 3.0 million. Tracfone, our U.S. operation, and Conecel, our Ecuadorean subsidiary, both added close to 1.8 million subscribers in 2005.
2005 revenues up 31%yoy to MxP 182 Bn
América Móvil's revenues totaled 182.2 billion pesos in 2005, 30.8% more than a year before. Of that amount, 52.4 billion were generated in the fourth quarter. The latter figure represents a 27.6% increase year-over-year. Service revenues were up 7.4% in the quarter and 29.0% year-on-year. Prepaid ARPUs rose sequentially in most operations.
4Q05 EBITDA margin at 29%
EBITDA for the year came in at 55.1 billion pesos, exceeding the previous year's by 26.8%. The EBITDA margin was 30.3%. Fourth quarter EBITDA amounted to 15.2 billion pesos, or 29.1% of revenues; a year before EBITDA had represented 25.5% of revenues. Although our subsidiaries added even more subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2005 than they had in the same period of 2004, most of them registered improvements in their EBITDA margins.
Operating profit up 39%yoy
Operating profits reached 33.7 billion pesos and were up 38.8% in relation to 2004, whereas the company's net profit for the year totaled 31.6 billion pesos, up 85.4% from the year before, driven by operating profits, foreign exchange gains and one-time benefits associated with a corporate restructuring that took place in the fourth quarter. The net profit for the year is equivalent to 0.87 pesos per share or 1.60 dollars per ADR.
Net debt of MxP 56 Bn
Net debt ended 2005 at 55.8 billion pesos, 12.0 billion pesos more than a year before. Among other things, the increase in debt helped cover capital expenditures and adquisitions of 50 billion pesos and share-buybacks and dividends that together amounted to 19 billion pesos (including an extraordinary dividend of 10.7 billion pesos paid in December).

Various subsidiaries reported double digit sequential service revenue growth in the fourth quarter. Importantly, all the subsidiaries (considering the Central American operations as a subsidiary), except for Colombia and Chile, registered sequential increases in their prepaid ARPU in local currency terms. (In Colombia prepaid ARPUs declined on account of the remarkably strong gains in subscribers that were, at 2.4 million, the most important amongst those of all our subsidiaries.)
Prepaid ARPUs rise in most operations
It must be noted that blended ARPUs did not rise in all the subsidiaries that registered improvements in prepaid ARPUs; to the extent that prepaid subscribers grow more rapidly than postpaid subscribers, blended ARPUs tend to decline and sometimes do so even if both prepaid and postpaid ARPUs are going up.
'05 EBITDA at MxP 55 Bn
EBITDA for the year came in at 55.1 billion pesos, 26.8% more than in 2004. That amount represented an EBITDA margin of 30.3%, slightly below the one seen the previous year (31.2%). Revenues outpaced EBITDA during 2005 because of greater subscriber acquisition costs arising from the rapid expansion of the subscriber base in the year, the most important to date in terms of net subscriber additions.
4Q05 EBITDA margin of 29%; up yoy in most operations
In the fourth quarter, EBITDA totaled 15.2 billion pesos, which represented a 45.6% increase over the same period of 2004. It is to be noted that at 29.1%, the EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter was 3.6 percentage points higher than the one seen a year before. Again, all our subsidiaries except for two saw their fourth quarter EBITDA margins improve in relation to the one seen in the same period of 2004, the exceptions being those in Ecuador and the United States. As regards the latter, a big surge in gross subscriber additions in the fourth quarterthey more than doubled relative to the year beforeexplains, through the corresponding impact on subscriber acquisition costs, the reduction in the EBITDA margin experienced in the fourth quarter (for the year as a whole its EBITDA margin went up).
Op. Profit reached MxP 34 Bn in '05, up 39%yoy
2005 operating profits amounted to 33.7 billion pesos, exceeding those registered in 2004 by nearly 40%. This increase partly reflects the fact that under Mexican GAAP, beginning in 2005, goodwill is no longer amortized but is instead subjected to ongoing tests to ensure that no impairment of such goodwill is called for. Depreciation and amortization charges were up 11.6% in the year.

Overall, the financial operations of América Móvil resulted in a net comprehensive financial cost of 1,194 million pesos in 2005. Foreign exchange gains and the monetary gain resulting from the inflationary erosion of the company's net debt combined to offset, for the most part, the interest costs and other financial expenses it incurred. The foreign exchange gains arose principally from the appreciation of the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real vs. the U.S. dollar, of 4.9% and 11.8% respectively, relative to the end of 2004.
Corporate restructure
A reorganization undertaken to provide greater flexibility to América Móvil's corporate structure which will among other things improve the control and geographical oversight, administration and accounting of subsidiaries located in a number of countries was carried out in the fourth quarter. América Móvil has grown significantly in Latin America since it started operations five years ago and has developed a presence in 13 countries in Latin America plus the United States. This significant expansion had brought about the need to conduct an important overhaul of its original corporate structure. One consequence of this restructure was the incurrence of certain losses that led to the reversal of a portion of the tax provisions that the company had set up during the year.
Net profit up 85% to MxP 32 Bn
América Móvil generated a net profit of 31.6 billion pesos in 2005, 85.4% greater than that of a year before. This included a net credit to results of 3.2 billion pesos in deferred taxes that had no impact on cash flow. The net profit of the year was equivalent to 0.87 pesos per share and 1.60 dollars per ADR.
'05 Capex at MxP 39 Bn
The company's net debt (including accrued interest) increased by 12.0 billion pesos in the year, to 55.8 billion pesos, an amount equivalent to 1.01 times EBITDA (last twelve months). Together with the company's operating cash flow, the increase in indebtedness contributed, among other things, to the financing of capital expenditures totaling 38.7 billion pesos; the acquisition of equity interests in various companies (notably Peru, Chile and Paraguay) amounting to 10.8 billion pesos; and share-buybacks and dividends that were worth in the aggregate 19.4 billion pesos. The latter amount includes the extraordinary dividend payment of 10.7 billion pesos undertaken by the company towards the end of the year.
The financial debt of América Móvil stood at 6.4 billion dollars in December, up from 5.6 billion dollars a year before. The average outstanding life of this debt is 8.2 years.

'05 revenues doubled yoy - Prepaid and postpaid ARPUs up qoq
Solid revenue growth characterized our CTI Móvil operations in 2005 with revenues more than doubling in the year, to 3.0 billion Argentinean pesos, driven by service revenues, which rose at a somewhat faster pace than total revenues. Fourth quarter service revenues increased by 15.7% sequentially and 80.7% annually, providing support to ARPUs, which on a blended basis were practically flat quarter-over-quarter in spite of the rapid subscriber growth that took place in the period. In fact, both prepaid and postpaid ARPUs rose over the previous quarter.
EBITDA expansion in 2005 was considerable as CTI moved from a nearly zero EBITDA margin in 2004 to 9.6% in 2005 (of a much greater revenue base), resulting in a total of 285 million Argentinean pesos. The EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter was 9.5%, 16.6 percentage points higher than a year earlier.

1.3M net adds in 4Q05
Our Brazilian operations continued to present solid subscriber growth, albeit at a slower pace in the fourth quarter than had been the case the last two years (relative to the total net subscriber additions of the year). Through 2005, net additions in Brazil amounted to 5.0 million customers (vs. 4.1 million in 2004), of which 1.3 million were obtained in the fourth quarter.
25%yoy revenue growth
Revenues in 2005 were up 24.6% relative to the previous year, reaching 6.5 billion reais, with service revenues increasing at a slightly faster pace. During the fourth quarter, revenues totaled 1.9 billion reais, exceeding by 17.1% the previous quarter's and by 12.6% those of the same period a year before. Prepaid ARPUs rose 8.7% over the previous quarter.
One-time adjustments impact EBITDA
An EBITDA loss of 208 million reais was registered in the year, after an EBITDA loss of 88 million in the fourth quarter. The latter, which represented 4.7% of revenues, included the impact of one-time adjustments mostly related to the forgiveness of certain balances associated with accounts receivable and with the launch of operations in Minas Gerais.
In the absence of those adjustments, the company would have registered an EBITDA loss of 23 million reais, or 1.2% of revenues, in the fourth quarter, and of 143 million reais in the year, equivalent to 2.2% of revenues.

Colombia
Subs more than double in '05
Comcel, our Colombian subsidiary, recorded the highest net subscriber additions among our subsidiaries in 2005, 8.0 million, which brought about a 2.4 times increase of its subscriber base in the year, to 13.8 million.
Revenues up 69%yoy
Revenues increased by 69.0% year-on-year to 3.3 trillion Colombian pesos, with fourth quarter revenues growing 10.6% sequentially and 67.7% annually. Despite the fast pace of subscriber growth, prepaid and postpaid MOUs increased sequentially in the fourth quarter (although blended MOUs remained roughly flat).
EBITDA rises 20% yoy
Comcel generated 621 billion Colombian pesos of EBITDA in 2005, 20.2% above the same period last year. Given the high level of gross additions that our Colombian subsidiary has generated this year (three times as many as in all of 2004) and the corresponding impact on subscriber acquisition costs, Comcel's EBITDA margin proved resilient, decreasing to 19.0% from 26.7% the previous year.
4Q05 EBITDA up 3pp yoy
Most remarkable, however, is the pick-up in the EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter. Despite generating its strongest level of subscriber growth ever, Comcel obtained an EBITDA margin of 23.3% in the quarter, which is 3 percentage points higher than the one registered in the same period of 2004.

Ecuador
76.3% yoy sub growth
Subscriber growth accelerated in 2005 in Ecuador. Our subsidiary Conecel saw its subscriber base grow by 76.3% year-over-year, to 4.1 million subscribers. Net additions of 1.8 million exceed last year's by more than one million subscribers. In the fourth quarter, Conecel registered a record number of net additions (545 thousand). It is worth noting that our post-paid client base has been growing at a faster pace than our prepaid subscriber base.
Revenue of USD 617 M in '05, ARPU up qoq
Conecel obtained 617 million dollars of revenues in 2005, which exceeded the previous year's by 62.8%. Of that amount, 193 million dollars were generated in the last quarter. Service revenue in that quarter outpaced the growth of the subscriber base, leading to a sequential pick-up in the blended ARPU of 4.3%. Minutes of use also increased in sequential terms, by 10.3%.
25.5% EBITDA margin in '05
EBITDA for the full-year reached 157 million dollars, up 21.7% from 2004, and the EBITDA margin came in at 25.5%. The decrease in the EBITDA margin relative to 2004 is a reflection of the strong subscriber growth observed in Ecuador this year, which resulted in greater subscriber acquisition costs. In the final quarter of the year, EBITDA reached 47 million dollars and was equivalent to 24.3% of revenues.
