Relevant Events

In July 15th we started providing wireless services in the northern region of Brazil. We initiated operations in Pará, Maranhao and Amazonia. Claro has completed its nationwide coverage in the country.

In August, we announced the acquisition of a 100% interest in Estesa Holding Corp., a provider of cable television, broadband residential and corporate data services in Nicaragua.

Also in August we began selling the new iPhone 3G in ten countries in Latin America: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru and Uruguay and in Brazil it started selling late in September.

On September 1st mobile number portability was implemented in some municipalities in Brazil. According to a schedule determined by the government, the new scheme will be operating nationwide by February 2009.

Important efforts have been made to continue to expand our 3G coverage in the region, which is already quite extensive. Today more than 200 million people in 16 countries have access to our UMTS/HSDPA services, which enables them to make use of mobile broadband connections and an array of new applications. We are the only operator with a common GSM/UMTS/HSDPA platform in all countries in our region of operations.

Subscribers

América Móvil added 7.3 million subscribers in the third quarter or 2008, bringing to 19.2 million the total number of net additions through September. The quarter’s net additions surpassed by 18.3% those of the same period a year before, whereas the year-to-date figures were slightly higher year-on-year (2.9%) . At the end of that month we had 172.6 million wireless subscribers and 3.9 million land lines.

Our Brazilian operations led in subscriber gains during the quarter with 2.6 million (a record for a third quarter), followed by Mexico with 1.5 million and Colombia with 1.2 million. Ecuador came fourth with 458 thousand net gains while Argentina, Peru and the Caribbean all obtained around 330 thousand subscribers in the period. Tracfone, in the U.S., produced 341 thousand new subs.

Net additions in the quarter exceeded those of the prior year in the three largest countries in the region, by 47.8% in Brazil, 9.1% in Mexico and 81.2% in Colombia. In the U.S., Ecuador and the Caribbean we also registered greater subscriber additions than in the same period of 2007.

As of September our subscriber base was comprised of 54.4 million clients in Mexico (31.5% of the total), 35.7 million in Brazil, 25.4 million in Colombia and 14.8 million in Argentina. Amongst the major countries Brazil has grown the fastest in annual terms (27.5%) with both Colombia and Argentina expanding at roughly the same pace (approximately 19%). The more dynamic ones in the region were Peru and the Dominican Republic, each of whom increased its subscriber base 40% year-on-year.

In September wireless penetration is estimated to have reached 78% in our region of operations (excluding the U.S.), with Brazil and Mexico coming in at 75% and 71% respectively.

América Móvil Consolidated Results

Our revenues totaled 85.3 billion pesos in the third quarter, 9.8% more than a year before, bringing to 251.2 billion pesos the figure through September, which was up 14.4% year-on-year. The annual comparison partly reflects the fact that our Puerto Rican operation was not consolidated until April 2007. Service revenues expanded at a slightly faster pace in both cases, led by Peru, Ecuador and Argentina. Revenues from value added services expanded at a brisk pace, particularly in Brazil and Colombia where they rose by 67% and 48% year-on-year respectively. They now represent 13.4% of our consolidated service revenues.

EBITDA came in at 34.9 billion pesos in the quarter and 103.5 billion pesos in the nine months to September. The latter figures represent 9.3% and 13.4% year-on-year increments respectively. The EBITDA margin, 40.9% in the quarter, was virtually unchanged from a year before because of the reacceleration of subscriber growth in various countries. Our core EBITDA margin, which excludes the effect of subscriber acquisition costs, in fact increased by half a percentage point over the previous year.

Depreciation and amortization charges have come down from 15.7% in the third quarter of 2007 to 11.9% in the same period this year, as we have depreciated for the most part our TDMA and CDMA networks. This contributed to the 25.2% yearly increase in our operating profit, which reached 25 billion pesos in the quarter.

* This presentation conforms with that of América Móvil's audited financial statements 
** Includes current portion of Long Term Debt 

At the end of September, 80.7% of our net debt was linked to local currencies, particularly Mexican pesos (after hedging part of the original foreign exchange exposure), and the remainder was denominated in U.S. dollars. This figure represents a prudent foreign exchange exposure given that an important share of our revenues is dollar-based, coming from our operations in the U.S., Puerto Rico, El Salvador and Ecuador. In the first nine months of the year these countries accounted for 13.3% of our service revenues.


Within the income and deferred taxes provision we have included deferred taxes in the amount of 704 million pesos associated with our share buyback program. This amount is to be credited against income taxes paid anytime in 2009.

Our net income for the quarter came in at 12.4 billion pesos. It was up 31.6% relative to a year before and represented 0.37 pesos per share (or 0.71 dollars per ADR). Earnings per share were up 37.1% year-on-year. Through September we had generated a net profit of 43.8 billion pesos.

Net debt stood at 106.4 billion pesos in September, up 13.7 billion from December 2007. Our net borrowings, together with the cash flow we generated in the first nine months of the year, allowed us to cover capital expenditures in the amount of 45 billion pesos and effect distributions to our shareholders by way of share buybacks and dividends (the latter paid in July) which totaled 41 billion pesos. Altogether, these amounts totaled 86 billion pesos.

As of September, our net debt was equivalent to 0.78 times EBITDA (last twelve months). The average life of our debt is 9.2 years, with nearly 30% coming due after 2017 and through 2037.

Mexico

Our subscriber base in Mexico reached 54.4 million in September, after net subscriber gains of 1.5 million in the third quarter and 4.4 million in the nine months to September. Our postpaid base rose somewhat less rapidly.

In the early stages of mobile number portability, the total number of ported numbers has been little over 0.10% of the total Mexican subscriber base. Telcel has been a net gainer of ported numbers.


Third quarter revenues were up 8.4% year-on-year to 33.8 billion pesos, with the total through September reaching 99.9 billion pesos, 10.3% more than a year before. ARPU was 175 pesos in the quarter, as subscriber growth continued to accelerate. MOUs were up 18.5% annually. At 171 they are now greater than in all the major Latin American countries and several European countries including Spain, Italy and Germany.

Data revenues have continued increasing their relative share of service revenues, aided by the new 3G capabilities. They now stand at 17.6% of service revenues.

EBITDA came in at 17.9 billion pesos in the quarter. It was up 7.1% in annual terms and represented 52.8% of revenues. In the first nine months of the year it totaled 52.8 billion pesos.

We continued with the roll out of our 3G network in Mexico. At the end of September our 3G network covers nearly 60% of the population and 904 kilometers of highways.

On September 12th our Mexican subsidiary (Telcel) was notified by the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transports of its having resolved, in the matter of a dispute between a certain fixed line operator and Telcel regarding interconnection rates, that a new set of rates would apply to local traffic originating in the network of the said fixed-line operator and terminating in Telcel’s network from January 2008. Such rates would span the period 2008-2011 and are significantly lower than the rates Telcel has agreed on with other fixed-line and mobile operators in Mexico. Telcel has initiated legal proceedings challenging this resolution. As of the date of this report, the effects of such resolution have been provisionally suspended by a court order. Any final and non-appealable resolution in this proceeding against Telcel may result in a significant reduction to applicable interconnection rates.

Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay

Altogether, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, added a total of 340 thousand new subscribers in the quarter—1.4 million in the first nine months—to finish September with over 16 million clients, 18.7% more than in the same period of last year. Our postpaid subscriber base grew at twice that rate.

We generated 1.8 billion Argentinean pesos in revenues in the third quarter, which exceeded by 21.6% those obtained a year ago and by 4.6% those of the previous quarter. In the nine months to September revenues amounted to 5.3 billion Argentinean pesos, up 27.2% year-on-year driven by a 29.5% increase in service revenues. ARPU increased 2.2% relative to the same quarter of last year and 3.8% as compared to the precedent quarter, supported by rising minutes of use and by greater data usage. Argentina is the lead market in terms of value added services. Data ARPU in Argentina rose nearly 15% year-on-year and it now represents 32% of total ARPU.

Third quarter EBITDA came in at 628 million Argentinean pesos. It jumped 46.1% relative to last year and 9.9% sequentially. The EBITDA margin for the period stood at 34.3%, climbing 5.7 percentage points from last year’s levels. At 1.7 billion Argentinean pesos, EBITDA in the nine months to September was equivalent to 32.9% of revenues. It expanded by 53.7% in absolute terms and 5.7 percentage points relative to the period’s revenues.

Brazil

Subscriber growth continued to accelerate in Brazil during the quarter, when we added 2.6 million subs, our highest number ever for a third quarter. As has been the case for several quarters now, our postpaid base rose at faster pace than the prepaid one: 9.6% vs. 7.3% (sequentially). Claro is now the second operator by subscribers in Brazil.

Revenues totaled 2.9 billion reais in the quarter and 8.4 billion reais in the first nine months of the year. They were up 18.5% year-on-year and 3.4% sequentially. ARPUs were down slightly—1.5% on the quarter—a very moderate decline considering the significant jump in subscriber growth in the quarter (there being always a lag between subscriber growth and revenue growth). However, MOUs were up significantly (16%) driven by a 16.1% sequential reduction in our average revenue per minute, which came down to 22.4 cents, continuing the trend initiated a year ago.

Revenues from value added services rose 67% annually and 19% sequentially, boosted by the new 3G data services. They now represent 9.6% of service revenues.

At 673 million reais the third quarter’s EBITDA was 6% greater than a year before and equivalent to 22.8% of revenues. The margin is somewhat lower than that registered in the first nine months of the year. The difference is fully accounted for by subscriber growth and its impact on subscriber acquisition costs. In fact, the core EBITDA margin (the one computed before considering subscriber acquisition costs) rose by 2.4 percentage points year-on-year and 1.5 points quarter-over-quarter.

Chile

We ended September with 2.8 million subscribers in Chile after adding 115 thousand new clients in the first nine months of the year of which 51 thousand were obtained in the third quarter.

Revenues of 64.2 billion Chilean pesos in the quarter were 2.9% higher compared to last year and 3.1% greater than in the precedent quarter. Service revenues rose by 5.8% sequentially pushing ARPU up 4.3% .

EBITDA of 2.9 billion Chilean pesos was equivalent to 4.6% of revenues. Through September EBITDA totaled 6.8 billion pesos.

Demand for mobile broadband has been building-up importantly in the Chilean market. Claro is today the only player offering this service on a prepaid scheme allowing a broader portion of the population to access 3G Internet.

Colombia

The Colombian market has seen an acceleration of subscriber growth in 2008. We gained 1.2 million in the third quarter surpassing by 81.2% our net additions of the same period of last year and by 10.5% those of the previous quarter. Net additions in the first nine months of the year were over three million, 75.0% more than those captured the previous year. Our subscriber base topped 25.4 million, having risen 19.4% over the year and 4.9% quarter-over-quarter.

Third quarter revenues of 1.5 trillion Colombian pesos grew 11.2% annually and 8.5% on a quarterly basis. They included an extraordinary item in the amount of 87 billion Colombian pesos associated with the collection of certain interconnection services, which had been under dispute. In the absence of such item our service revenues would have increased 6.3% year-on-year.

The most dynamic component of service revenues was data, which increased by 48.0% annually. Revenues in the nine months to September rose 5.0% relative to the same period of 2007, to 4.3 trillion Colombian pesos, with service revenues growing 6.7% ..

In spite of strong subscriber growth, ARPU nonetheless posted a 4.0% increase on a sequential basis, as price declines moderated.

We obtained 792 billion Colombian pesos of EBITDA in the third quarter that represents an annual increase of 15.0% and a quarterly one of 13.1% . The EBITDA margin of the period came in at 51.7%, 1.6 percentage points higher than that of 2007. Through September we generated 2.1 trillion Colombian pesos of EBITDA, a figure that was equivalent to 50% of revenues.

Central America

Our operations in Central America, comprising Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, added 173 thousand subscribers in the third quarter, bringing to 892 thousand subscribers the figure for the nine months to September. Our wireless subscriber base in the region registered an annual increase of 23.2% to reach nine million clients. In addition, we have a total of 2.2 million wire-line accesses in the region.

Revenues totaled 367 million dollars in the quarter and one billion dollars in the first nine months of the year. The growth of our wireless revenues, which expanded 4.5% over the quarter and 5.0% year-on-year, allowed us to offset for the most part the contraction experienced by our fixed line revenues.

EBITDA came in at 169 million dollars in the quarter and represented 46.1% of revenues. In the first nine months of the year it totaled 524 million dollars.

One fourth of the population in this region has access to 3G services. Data represents 10.6% of our service revenues.

Caribbean

In the Caribbean we added a total of 329 thousand subscribers in the third quarter, 3.8 times as many as we gained in the same period of last year. In the nine months to September net additions climbed to 759 thousand and our wireless subscriber base ended at 4.3 million. As regards our wire line business, total accesses in the Dominican Republic rose 3.2% annually but we experienced important disconnections in Puerto Rico as a result of a tough macroeconomic environment in the island.

Revenues in the first nine months of the year came in at 1.6 billion dollars of which 543 thousand were obtained in the third quarter. Third quarter wireless revenues rose 9.2% sequentially and 7.0% over the previous year’s.

Third quarter EBITDA of 201 million dollars is equivalent to 37.1% of revenues. The EBITDA margin declined by 1.9 percentage points relative to the same period of last year which is fully explained by the fact that 43% of our net additions year-to-date were added in this quarter. Year-to-September, we generated 626 million dollars of EBITDA, 27.5% more than a year before.

Over two thirds of the population in The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico have access to 3G services. Just recently we launched our new UMTS/HSDPA network in Jamaica and also introduced Claro as our national brand in the island. We have completed our 3G footprint in Latina America and the Caribbean.
