Relevant Events

During the first quarter of 2006 we have continued reducing the effective tariffs on voice airtime, both in nominal and real terms, in all of our markets. On average, tariffs in our Latin American operations are 56% lower than the average tariffs of the 30 countries that make up the OECD. Falling airtime prices, together with handset subsidies, have been key in stimulating the rise in wireless penetration in the region.

In Mexico our effective price per minute (voice) was equivalent to 1.48 pesos (13.6 dollar cents) at the end of March, having fallen by 9.6% in constant peso terms over the last 12-months and by 50.7% over the last five years. It now stands as one of the five lowest amongst OECD countries(2).

For the most part (93%), the Mexican wireless market is based on the prepaid model, an important difference relative to practically all other OECD countries, including the U.S., where the prepaid segment is only 11% of the wireless market. Because of this, in comparing effective rates with the U.S. (which has the lowest tariffs within the OECD), for instance, adjustments must be made to allow for the effects of lower subsidies on handset prices and the non-existence of the calling-party-pays system in that market, which results in greater costs to subscribers on incoming calls. In the prepaid market itself, tariffs in Mexico are lower than in the United States.

The main Latin American countries have attained penetration rates of approximately 50% of the population. Penetration rates will continue to increase to the extent that the growth rates of the economies and the levels of employment lead to improvements in the purchasing power of the population. These would not only result in more clients; they would lead to greater consumption levels of our telecom services, including voice but also data services, such as short messages and a broad variety of new products.

Towards the end of April, América Móvil celebrated its Annual Shareholders’ Assembly, which approved the company’s financial statements for the year 2005 and decreed the payment of a dividend of 0.10 pesos per share. The dividend will be paid in one installment in July 2006.

In the same month, an agreement was reached with Verizon Communications to acquire its ownership interests in Verizon Dominicana (100%), Telecomunicaciones de Puerto Rico Inc. (52%) and CANTV (28.51%), the latter through a joint venture equally owned with Telmex. The purchase prices for these stakes are US$ 2.06 billion, US$ 939 million and US$ 676.6 million, respectively.

In Chile our subsidiary Smartcom obtained 25 MHz of spectrum in the 800 MHz band through an auction. It will be used for the new GSM network the company is rolling out, which can work on both the 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies.

América Móvil closed in April a U.S.$2 billion syndicated loan. The loan has a tenor of five years, with one amortization payment at maturity. The interest rate on the loan is Libor plus 0.25% . Earlier, in February, América Móvil, through its Colombian subsidiary Comcel, issued a 10 year note in the Colombian market. The note, denominated in Colombian pesos, carries a coupon of 7.59% . The issue amount was the equivalent of US$ 200 million.

Subscribers

América Móvil’s subscriber base reached 100 million subscribers at the end of March, as the company gained 7.3 million wireless subscribers in the first three months of 2006, 39% more than in the same period a year before. Our lines total 102.6 million considering the fixed lines we have in Central America.

The pace of subscriber growth continued strong throughout the region, as shown by the 7.8% sequential increase in our subscriber base. In the larger countries, Mexico and Brazil, it expanded at a pace of approximately 4.5% quarter-over-quarter—which resulted in 1.7 million and 787 thousand net subscriber additions respectively—whereas in those where we have our smaller operations by subscribers, Uruguay and Paraguay, it grew at a rate of more than 30% sequentially.

The Andean region continued growing at a brisk pace. In Colombia, which had net additions of 2.1 million in the quarter, our subscriber base reached almost 16 million subscribers by the end of March. This represented a sequential increase of 15.3% . In Peru it expanded at a similar pace (13%), gaining 261 thousand clients to finish the quarter with 2.2 million subscribers. And in Ecuador, net additions amounted to 400 thousand subscribers, for a 10% sequential increase.

Argentina finished the quarter with 7.3 million subscribers, 10.2% more than in December, having obtained 677 thousand clients in the period. In Chile we ended the quarter with 1.9 million subscribers.

The consolidated subscriber base in Central America reached 4.4 million wireless subscribers, after gaining 436 thousand new clients in the first quarter. Honduras and Nicaragua experienced the faster rates of sequential growth within their region, nearly 16%. Together with 2.0 million fixed lines, our operations in Central America have a combined total of 6.4 million lines.

In the United States, Tracfone added 767 thousand subscribers in the period, ending the quarter with close to seven million subscribers. Net additions were up 68% relative to the ones obtained in the same period of 2005.


América Móvil Consolidated

With 7.3 million net subscriber additions, the first quarter of 2006 was our best first quarter ever in terms of subscriber growth. But whereas subscriber growth remains strong in absolute terms, it has begun to decelerate in relative terms from the highs that most operations observed in 2005.

Revenues topped 50.7 billion pesos in the quarter, expanding 26.4% year-on-year on the back of 29.0% service-revenue growth. Service revenues were up 4.6% in the quarter, as almost all operations registered increases in service revenues relative to the last quarter of 2005. These were particularly important in the U.S., where the sequential increase was 14.4%; in Colombia, where it was 10.3%; and in Argentina, where it reached 6.9% .

With revenues expanding at a brisk pace and subscriber growth decelerating in relative terms, subscriber acquisition costs have tended to decline relative to revenues, bringing about better EBITDA margins in practically all our operations. This means that the effort in EBITDA terms associated with maintaining a given level of subscriber growth has come down and will likely continue to fall if current trends remain in place.

At 18.3 billion pesos, EBITDA was up 19.8% in the quarter and 40.7% relative to the same period a year before, reflecting among other things cost control policies. The EBITDA margin climbed nearly 4 percentage points relative to the first quarter of 2005, to 36.2%, even as net subscriber additions were almost 40% greater year-on-year. Noteworthy were the improvements in EBITDA margins observed over the same period in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and in Colombia. In the U.S. the EBITDA margin was down over the period, but net additions were up 68% over the first quarter of 2005.

Operating profits rose to 12.4 billion pesos, nearly 25.0% of revenues, having increased by 35.8% quarter-over-quarter and 50.9% annually.

A comprehensive financing income of 970 million pesos was obtained in the quarter, as foreign exchange gains more than offset net interest expenses. These gains arose from the appreciation of the Brazilian real and the depreciation of the Mexican peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar observed in the first quarter.

Altogether, América Móvil generated a net profit of 9.9 billion pesos in the quarter, which more than doubles the one obtained a year before. It represents 28 peso cents per share, or 52 dollar cents per ADR. Adjusting for the stock split that took place last July, net income per share was up by 117.3% year-on-year and, per ADR, by 129.5% .

América Móvil’s net debt was down 5.7 billion pesos in the quarter, to 51.4 billion pesos, partly stemming from foreign exchange gains but mostly resulting from our strong cash generation, which was more than sufficient to fully cover our capital expenditures—6.5 billion pesos—and our share-buybacks and dividend payments, which together amounted to 2.3 billion pesos in the quarter.

Mexico

Telcel’s subscriber base reached 37.6 million at the end of March 2006, 22.7% more than a year ago and 4.7% more than the previous quarter. Net additions of 1.7 million were only slightly below those registered in the same period of the previous year.

Revenues reached 24.4 billion Mexican pesos in the first quarter of 2006, up 18.6% from the same period a year ago. Service revenues climbed 19.2% year-on-year, ahead of equipment revenues, which grew at an annual rate of 15.4% . The average revenue per user during the period fell 3.6% in real terms but minutes of use picked-up 2.1% year-on-year.

EBITDA reached 12.3 billion pesos in the first three months of 2006—41.8% above last year’s figures—as both the cost of service and the cost of equipment fell relative to the same period a year ago. Strict cost controls allowed Telcel’s EBITDA margin to reach 50.3% in the quarter, its highest level ever. EBITDA margins expanded by more than eight percentage points in a year.
