Relevant Events

In July, our Chilean subsidiary started offering wireless services with GSM technology and launched its new brand, Claro. The new GSM network already expands on the coverage of the original CDMA network and is slated to continue to grow in coverage.

In August we integrated our companies in Nicaragua, Sercom and Enitel. Sercom had been established in 2002 to develop wireless operations in the country. Enitel, a fixed-line and wireless operator, was acquired in 2004.

Our Central American subsidiaries in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras decided to adopt the Claro brand name for their wireless services. In September they started to operate under the new brand with very good acceptance.

In October, an agreement was reached between Telmex and all mobile operators in Mexico establishing the conditions under which the new National and International Calling-Party-Pays scheme will operate. This scheme will take effect on November 4th.

Subscribers


América Móvil added 6.2 million wireless subscribers in the third quarter of 2006, to finish September with 113.9 million subscribers. This represents an increase of 5.7% quarter-over-quarter and 36.2% year-over-year. Considering the 2.1 million fixed lines in Central America, América Móvil had a total of 116 million lines at the end of September. In the nine months to September we obtained 20.6 million subscribers, exceeding by 7.5% the number of organic net additions registered in the same period of 2005.

Mexico continued growing at a healthy pace, adding 1.6 million subscribers in the quarter to reach 40.7 million subscribers at the end of September, 21.3% more than a year before.

In Brazil we added 1.2 million clients in the third quarter, bringing the total through September to 3.5 million subscribers, which represents 29.7% of the market’s net adds in the regions where we operate. Claro’s subscriber base expanded by 27.4% year-on-year, to reach 22.2 million wireless subscribers.

Our Argentinean operation gained 948 thousand clients in the third quarter and 2.4 million in the first nine months of the year, to finish September with nine million subscribers. Its subscriber base rose by 62.0% year-on-year. CTI’s operations in Uruguay and Paraguay grew at a vigorous pace, with Uruguay tripling its subscriber base as compared to the same period of last year—to 334 thousand clients—and Paraguay more than doubling its own—to 344 thousand clients.

In Colombia net subscriber additions came in at 786 thousand in the third quarter, bringing the total through September to nearly 5 million subscribers. By the end of the third quarter, Comcel had 18.8 million subscribers, 65.5% more than a year before. The slowdown in subscriber growth—the quarter’s net additions are lower than in the previous quarters—stems from less aggressive commercial policies; however, this did not lead to a reduction in our market share. Colombia’s wireless market had more than quadrupled in size in the last couple of years, having gone from being the least penetrated amongst the large countries in Latin America to the one with the highest penetration rate: 70.2% at the end of September.

EBITDA came in at 21.3 billion pesos in the quarter, bringing the total through September to 60.7 billion pesos. Year-on-year, América Móvil’s third quarter EBITDA increased by 40.4% . The EBITDA margin was 36.8% in the period and 36.5% in the nine months to September, surpassing by 4.6 points and 5.8 points the margins seen in the same periods of 2005. The quarterly EBITDA margins rose by more than 20 percentage points in Peru and Colombia and by approximately 15 points in Brazil and Ecuador with respect to a year ago.

The third quarter’s operating profit rose to 14.7 billion pesos, up 50.3% year-on-year. The figure through September went up to 41.3 billion pesos, nearly 64% more than a year before.

América Móvil obtained a net profit of 10.9 billion pesos in the quarter and 32.1 billion pesos through September. These figures represented year-on-year increases of 139.0% and 82.3% respectively. The quarter’s profit was equivalent to 0.31 peso cents per share or 0.56 dollar cents per ADR.

Our net debt ended September at 38.5 billion pesos, down 18.5 billion pesos from December, reflecting the strength of the company’s cash flow that was more than sufficient to cover capital expenses of 2.2 billion pesos and share buybacks and dividend payments that together amounted to 913 million pesos.

Mexico

Telcel added 1.6 million subscribers in the third quarter of 2006, 22.9% more than the number of net adds registered in the third quarter of 2005, with postpaid subscribers growing twice as rapidly as prepaids in the period. Telcel finished September with 40.7 million clients, up 4.0% sequentially and 21.3% annually.

Telcel’s share of revenues in the Mexican wireless market, which includes six operators in all —Telcel, Nextel, Movistar, Iusacell, Unefon and Axtel— stood at 70.1%in the first half of this year.

Revenues totaled 26.8 billion pesos in the third quarter and 77.8 billion pesos in the nine months to September. Third quarter revenues were up 16.8% year-on-year. ARPUs were down 2.9% quarter-over-quarter in constant Mexican peso terms, with MOUs remaining roughly flat in the period. MOUs have nonetheless increased by 12.5% year-on-year driven by increased competition.

Telcel obtained 13.7 billion pesos of EBITDA in the quarter, maintaining at 51% the EBITDA margin seen in the previous quarter. Relative to the year before, EBITDA was up 26.2% in the third quarter. Through September, it totaled 39.5 billion pesos, almost 34% more than a year before. The EBITDA margin in the first nine months of the year was a full six percentage points greater than the one seen in the same period of 2005.

Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay

The combined subscriber base of CTI Móvil reached 9.7 million clients at the end of September 2006 after adding over one million subscribers in the third quarter. Argentina’s subscriber base increased 11.8% sequentially, making it the strongest quarter in the year in terms of net additions. Paraguay and Uruguay have shown the most dynamic growth throughout the region increasing their subscriber base 16.4% and 24.4% respectively. More than 40% of CTI’s subscriber base was obtained in the last twelve months.

Third quarter revenues came in at 1.2 million Argentinean pesos, exceeding by 13.6% those of the prior quarter and by 50.7% those of the same period of last year. Service revenue growth was particularly strong at 10.2% over the quarter and 44.7% annually. For the first nine months of 2006 revenues totaled 3.2 million Argentinean pesos, 57.3% more than a year before.

EBITDA for the quarter totaled 206 million Argentinean pesos, twice as much as in the same period of 2005, though somewhat lower than in the previous quarter on account of the more rapid pace of subscriber growth. Through September, EBITDA more than tripled from a year before, as the EBITDA margin doubled (to 20.0%) and revenues soared.

Chile


In July, our Chilean operation introduced GSM services and launched its new brand name, Claro. This allowed us to increase to 102 thousand the number of net additions in the third quarter from 59 thousand the previous quarter. Claro’s subscriber base reached 2.1 million clients in September.

Revenues totaled 131.5 million Chilean pesos in the first nine months of 2006, of which 48 million were obtained in the third quarter. EBITDA through September amounted to 18.6 million pesos, or 14.2% of revenues. The promotional expenses surrounding the introduction of the new brand and greater subscriber acquisition costs were responsible for the quarterly reduction in EBITDA.

Brazil

Our Brazilian subsidiary added 1.2 million subscribers in the third quarter, a similar figure to that of the same period of 2005 to finish September with 22.2 million subscribers, 27.4% more than a year before. After gaining 1.2 percentage points year to date, its market share stands now at 23.13% .

The partial bill-and-keep regime that existed in Brazil was eliminated on July 13th. For that reason figures of our Brazilian subsidiary are now reported on a full bill basis, for both the third quarter and the historical information in order to facilitate the comparison of the numbers.

On this basis, third quarter revenues reached 2.1 billion reais, up 15.1% annually, with service revenues expanding by 23.0% year-on-year. Claro’s blended ARPU in the third quarter was 27 reais, 4.2% lower than the one observed a year before. In the first nine months of the year revenues amounted to 6 billion reais, up 12.9% annually. Service revenues increased by 25.5% .


EBITDA in the quarter totaled 272 million reais, nearly 12% more than in the preceding quarter. A year before, a small EBITDA loss was obtained in the same period. The EBITDA margin was 12.8% in the quarter, over one percentage point higher than the 11.5% obtained in the second quarter, and almost 15 percentage points higher than a year before Through September, EBITDA reached 753 million reais and was equivalent to 12.5% of revenues.

Colombia

In the last couple of years Colombia outpaced every country in Latin America in terms of subscriber growth. With the wireless penetration rate in the country reaching 70.2% in September, ahead of all the major countries in the region, Comcel opted for a less aggressive commercial policy. It added 786 thousand new subscribers in the third quarter, less than it had added the previous quarters, to end September with 18.8 million clients. This entails an increase of its subscriber base of 4.4% sequentially and 65.5% annually. Comcel maintained its market share in the quarter at 64%.

Comcel’s revenues rose 30% year-on-year and 3.9% quarter-over-quarter, to 1.1 trillion Colombian pesos on the back of rapid service revenue growth (40.7% and 8.1% respectively). In the first nine months of the year, total revenues topped 3.3 trillion Colombian pesos, representing an annual expansion of 43.6% with service revenues increasing by 52.8% .

The deceleration in subscriber growth brought about an important boost in profitability. Comcel’s EBITDA went up 33.1% sequentially and almost tripled that of a year before, as the EBITDA margin climbed 8.5 percentage points over the quarter and 20.9 percentage points over the previous year. Through September our Colombian operation obtained over one trillion Colombian pesos in EBITDA. The margin for that period, 32.4%, nearly doubled that of the year before.

At 174 million dollars, third quarter revenues remained flat as compared to the previous quarter, but service revenues were up 7.7% sequentially and 22.8% annually. Together with an important reduction in costs, the expansion in service revenues helped to generate a 32.2% quarterly increase in EBITDA as the EBITDA margin climbed 10 percentage points to 40.3%.

In the first nine months of the year revenues totaled 518 million dollars, up 22.2%, driven by service revenues which expanded at an annual pace of 29.3% . Through September EBITDA rose 48.1% compared to the same period of 2005. It totaled 163 million dollars, which represented 31.5% of total revenues.
