AMÉRICA MÓVILS SECOND QUARTER OF 2007
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REPORT
Mexico City, July 24, 2007 - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (América Móvil) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX] [NASDAQ: AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL], announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2007.
América Móvil added six million clients in the second quarter, bringing to 12.5 million the number of net subscriber additions in the first six months, to end the period with 137.2 million wireless subscribers. Along with 3.8 million fixed lines, we reached a combined total of 141 million lines.
In Brazil, net additions were 1.6 million, the highest in absolute terms of all our operations, in Mexico 1.2 million, and in Argentina 768 thousand. Peru showed very rapid subscriber growth, 75.5% year-on-year, which resulted in almost half a million net additions.
Revenues in the second quarter totaled 75.4 billion pesos. They were up 29.3% year-on-year, and 11.7% relative to the previous quarter, as service revenues grew 33.0% in annual terms and almost 10% sequentially.
In the six months through June, revenues amounted to 142.8 billion pesos, 28.8% above those registered in the first semester of 2006, driven by service revenues, which increased by 32.0% year-on-year.
EBITDA for the quarter was 30.8 billion pesos, 45.2% higher than in the second quarter of 2006, and 6.8% above the previous quarter. Our EBITDA margin for the period stood at 40.9%, exceeding by 4.5 percentage points last years figure. In the first semester, EBITDA came in at 59.6 billion pesos, which represents an annual increase of 48.1% .
An operating profit of 21.8 billion pesos was obtained in the quarter, up 52.0% year-on-year, which translated into a 14.7 billion pesos net profit in the quarter, 30.6% higher than the one observed a year before. For the first half of the year our net profit totaled 30.5 billion pesos, up 41.1% relative to last year.
Our net debt came down by 9.2 billion constant pesos in the quarter, to 75.1 billion pesos. In the six months to June our capital expenditures and share buy backs, 10.0 billion pesos and 4.1 billion pesos respectively, were fully paid for out of our cash flow, as was just over two thirds of the economic cost associated with the acquisition of Puerto Rico. At the end of June, our net debt was equivalent to 0.69 times EBITDA (proforma, last twelve months).

América Móvil Consolidated Results
América Móvils consolidated revenues totaled 75.4 billion pesos in the second quarter of the year, bringing to 142.8 billion the figure for the first half of 2007. The quarters numbers were up 29.3% with respect to the same
period the year before and 11.7% relative to the previous quarter. The sequential increase reflects, among other things, the incorporation of our Puerto Rican operations, which were consolidated in América Móvil beginning in April.
Excluding the revenues from that operation, the annual increase in revenues is 23.7% and the sequential one 6.9%.
Service revenues rose 33% annually and nearly 10% sequentially. In Brazil and Argentina service revenue growth was fairly robust.

EBITDA stood at 30.8 billion pesos in the second quarter and nearly 60 billion pesos in the first half of the year, having expanded at annual rates of 45.2% and 48.1% respectively. Puerto Rico contributed 1.2 billion pesos to the consolidated EBITDA number. The EBITDA margin came in at 40.9% in the second quarter, but would have been 41.1% if the Puerto Rican operation had not been included.
After depreciation and amortization charges that represented 11.9% of revenues, an operating profit of 21.8 billion pesos was obtained in the quarter, itself equivalent to 29.0% of revenues. It was up 52.0% over the previous year.
Gains derived from foreign exchange movements and from the inflationary erosion of the net debt position of the company almost fully compensated our net interest and financial expenses. The foreign exchange gains resulted from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis various Latin American currencies, including the Mexican peso. The comprehensive financing cost in the quarter, 42 million pesos, was negligible in relation to our revenues.
We generated a net profit of 14.7 billion pesos in the quarter, 30.6% higher than the one observed a year before, to finish the first half of the year with 30.5 billion pesos in net profits. This amount is equivalent to 21.3% of our revenues in the period.

Our net debt came down by 9.2 billion pesos in the quarter, to 75.1 billion pesos, although at the end of June it was still 7.1 billion pesos higher than in December. Our capital expenditures in the semester, 10.0 billion pesos, as well as our share buybacks, 4.1 billion pesos, were fully paid for out of the cash flow we generated in the six months to June, as was just over two thirds of the overall economic cost associated with the acquisition of Puerto Rico. At the end of June, our net debt was equivalent to 0.69 times EBITDA (proforma, last twelve months).
Mexico
We ended June with 46.1 million subscribers in Mexico, after adding 1.2 million subscribers in the second quarter and 2.9 million in the first half of the year. Our superior coverage and quality of service has enabled us to keep on rising our postpaid subscriber base at a brisk pace.
In the second quarter, our Mexican revenues surpassed 30 billion pesos for the first time, bringing to 59.3 billion pesos the total for the first half of the year. They were up 4.0% on the previous quarter and 12.6% year-on-year. Blended ARPU was roughly flat over the previous quarter, but is down 5.2% in real terms year-on-year (practically flat in nominal terms), supported by MOUs that are up 17.1% over the previous year. This figure reflects increases in traffic per user both in the prepaid and in the postpaid segments.
The increase in traffic has been driven by reductions in our prices per minute, which have fallen by nearly 20% in the last twelve months and by approximately 40% since the second quarter of 2004, to 1.18 pesos per minute (voice). Based on Merrill Lynchs latest Wireless Matrix, with figures through the first quarter of 2007, Telcels average revenue per minute (ARPM) ranks, together with those of Finland and Korea, as the lowest within the OECD countries after the U.S.
In looking solely at the prepaid segment of the marketwhich represents 93% of the total in the case of Telcelthe average price per minute of Telcel is considerably lower than the one seen both in the United States and Canada, according to recent data from various operators in those countries.
EBITDA rose 20.6% in annual terms, to 16.4 billion pesos. This figure was equivalent to 54.3% of revenues, a slightly higher margin than the one observed the previous quarter.

Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay
Revenues in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay reached a combined 1.3 billion Argentinean pesos in the second quarter, having increased nearly 30% from a year before and 4.4% over the previous quarter. Service revenues have expanded at a similar pace to that of total revenues.
The combined subscriber base grew at the fastest rate amongst the major countries in the region 47.8% year-on-year and 7.3% quarter-over-quarter.
EBITDA totaled 361 million Argentinean pesos in the second quarter. It is rising twice as rapidly as revenues, even in the face of the rapid pace of subscriber growth. The EBITDA margin increased 5.4 percentage points relative to the year before, to 26.9%, although it is still held back somewhat by subscriber acquisition costs.

Brazil
Subscriber growth reaccelerated in Brazil, with net additions of 1.6 million subscribers in the second quarter. These were 9.4% higher than the ones seen a year before, and represented a 6.7% sequential increase in the subscriber base.
At 2.4 billion reais, second quarter revenues rose 14.6% year-on-year and 12.8% in the quarter. The latter figure reflects the greater equipment sales that accompanied faster subscriber growth in the second quarter, typically a strong quarter in Brazil because of the commercial promotions launched around Mothers Day.
Service revenues were up 18.6% with respect to the previous year. In the six months to June, revenues totaled 4.6 billion reais, 17.6% more than a year before. Blended ARPU was flat quarter-over-quarter at 27 reais, but was actually 14.4% higher than a year before.
EBITDA came in at 601 million reais in the quarter. It was 2.5 times higher than the one seen a year before and resulted in an EBITDA margin of 24.7%, which is greater by 13.2 percentage points than the one registered in the same period of 2006 in spite of the acceleration of subscriber growth and the corresponding impact on subscriber acquisition costs. For the first half of the year, EBITDA totaled 1.2 billion reais; it was equivalent to 26.0% of revenues and was also 2.5 times the EBITDA seen a year before.

Chile
Our subscriber base in Chile increased by 34.6% relative to the previous year, reaching 2.7 million wireless clients after net additions of 322 thousand subscribers in the first six months of 2007. Most of the growth came from our postpaid subscriber base.
Revenues came in at 64.7 billion Chilean pesos in the second quarter and 131.4 billion Chilean pesos in the first six months of the year, 57.4% higher than in the first semester of 2006. We registered negative EBITDA for the second quarter given the strong growth we are facing in the market and the effort related to completing the deployment of our nationwide GSM network.
Given that we have been adding more heavy-usage subscribers, MOUs came up 15.8% on an annual basis, and blended ARPUs were up 13.5% year-on-year.
