AMÉRICA MÓVIL’S FOURTH QUARTER OF 2011 
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REPORT 
 
  Mexico City, February 9, 2012 - 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 fourth quarter of 2011.
 
 
 
300M accesses  • 

América Móvil finished December with 300 million accesses, of which 242 million were wireless subscribers, 7.4% more than a year before, and 58 million RGUs that increased 12.3% over the period.

  
New churn policy in Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador •  Beginning in October we changed the methodology for booking active subscribers in Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador.As we excluded from the subscriber statistics those lines that have not had any air-time recharge during the churn period, our net additions for the fourth quarter came to be only 304 thousand, bringing the figure for the year to 16.7 million.
 
Postpaid base up 21% YoY • 

In the postpaid segment we added 1.6 million subscribers in the quarter, taking the total for the year to 6.1 million. Our postpaid subscriber base rose 20.5% in 2011.

 
4Q Revenues up 12% YoY   • 

Fourth quarter revenues totaled 182 billion pesos. They were up 12.3% from the year-earlier quarter, with wireless revenues expanding 15.4% and fixed-line revenues 6.8%.

 
Mobile data revenues +27% YoY • 

At constant exchange rates, mobile data services rose 27% and fixed broadband revenues followed with 15%, while PayTV revenues exhibited a 48% annual increase. Every single product line in the South American block experienced solid revenue growth.

 
EBITDA up 3.9% YoY • 

EBITDA of 64.5 billion pesos in the fourth quarter was up 3.9% from a year before, contributing to a 15.1% increase in our operating profits, to 38.3 billion pesos. The latter rise also reflects a reduction in depreciation charges, since at the end of 2010 we booked extraordinary charges as we began to integrate the fixed and mobile networks.

 
Net income of  MXP 16Bn • 

Net income came down to 16.3 billion pesos as the depreciation of the peso in the last quarter and the increase in net debt that took place throughout the year to fund the acquisition of stock of Telmex, Telmex Internacional, Net Serviços and StarOne as well as our own stock repurchases brought about an important increase in our comprehensive financing costs.

 
MXP 71Bn in Distributions   • 

Our net debt rose to 321 billion pesos in December from 207 billion at the close of 2010 to help fund 70 billion pesos in stock purchases and 54 billion pesos in share buybacks. Our cash flow from operations more than covered our capital expenditures of 121 billion pesos and dividends of 17 billion.

     Total Accesses

Total accesses +8.3% YoY

We finished December with 299.6 million accesses, 8.3% more than in 2010. This figure comprises 241.8 million wireless subscribers, 29.4 million landlines,15.1million broadband accesses and 13.4 million PayTV units. In South America, the number of fixed lines was up 18.6% year-on-year and that of broadband accesses 27.7%. Our PayTV business exhibited an annual increase of 33.1%.

  
  Wireless Subscribers   
  
242M Wireless subs

América Móvil finished December with 241.8 million wireless subscribers, 7.4% more than at the end of 2010. Net additions for the quarter were 304 thousand. This figure reflects the impact of a change in the methodology for booking active subscribers in Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador. The change of methodology described above resulted in net disconnections of 2.3 million, 2.4 million and 151 thousand in Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador, respectively.

  
New churn policy in Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador

Pursuant to the new methodology - which is consistent with our conservative standards - we now exclude from the subscriber statistics those lines that have not had anyair-time recharge over a given period, with the corresponding impact on operating metrics. Our strategy has been increasingly oriented towards developing a greater presence in the postpaid sector and seeking out only the best prepaid clients. It is important to note that in the absence of the above-mentioned change, thechurn rates would have been lower in all three cases than they were a year before.

   
35M postpaid subs, +21% YoY

We gained 1.6 million postpaid net additions in the fourth quarter, taking the net additions for the year to 6.1 million, 23.7% more than the year before. Our postpaid subscriber base was up 20.5% in 2011, to 34.7 million, growing substantially more rapidly than the prepaid one in all our operations save Panama.

 
2.9M net adds in Brazil

Brazil gained 2.9 million subscribers in the quarter, almost as many as the year before. In Argentina, net additions of 613 thousand more than tripled those of the year-earlier quarter. In each of Central America and the Caribbean, the U.S. and Peru we added approximately half a million subs in the fourth quarter.

América Móvil Consolidated Results
 

In spite of the increased uncertainty experienced worldwide in the last quarter of 2011 with high financial volatility stemming from the European crisis and a still weak U.S. economy, the tone of the Latin American markets continued to be strong throughout the end of the year even in the face of what appeared to be slowing economic activity in most of the South American block. América Móvil thus posted a 13.0% increase in gross wireless subscriberadditionsinthatquarterrelative totheprioryear—hittingarecordinBrazil at nearly 10 million and continuing strong in Mexico with 9.1 million—continuing to make inroads in the postpaid segment in all operations.

Wireless 
revenues+15%
YoY
 

Our fourth quarter revenues totaled 182 billion pesos and were 12.3% higher than in the year-earlier quarter, with wireless revenues—which expanded 15.4% year-on-year—accounting for almost two thirds of the total. The quarter’s figures reflect the impact of the sharp depreciation in the quarter of the Mexican peso vis-à-vis the dollar (11%) and most Latin American currencies, the Argentinean peso being the only exception. When expressed at constant exchange rates, and after adjusting for certain reclassifications corresponding to 2010, thequarter’s revenues increased 8.6% from the year before.

   
Wireless data revenues
+27% YoY

Revenue growth was led by mobile data services that rose 27% year-on-year at constant exchange rates with every single region where we operate posting strong numbers. Fixed broadband revenues followed with 15%, while PayTV revenues exhibited a 48% annual increase albeit from a small base. Every single product line in the South American block experienced solid revenue growth while in Mexico a 5% decline in mobile voice revenues arising from the 70% effective reduction in mobile termination rates was added to the ongoing decline in fixed-line revenues. Our geographical and product diversification has served us well by providing a more stable base of revenues.

  
EBITDA of MXP 65Bn

EBITDA of 64.5 billion pesos in the fourth quarter was up 3.9% from a year before, with strong increases in the Andean countries helping offset small declines in some other countries, including Mexico and Brazil (derived, partly, from the interconection rate reductions in the former and the costs associated to growth of our wireless and PayTV base in the latter). EBITDA was held back somewhat both by subscriber acquisition costs that remained high in the wireless and PayTV space, and by expenses associated with our vast investment program, since we do not capitalize all expenses.

Operating profit +15%  YoY

Our fourth quarter operating profit came in at 38.3 billion pesos, having increased 15.1% from the prior year helped along by a 9.7% reduction in depreciation charges. The latter resulted from our having booked extraordinary charges at the end of 2010 in various countries, as we began to integrate the fixed and mobile platforms following the acquisition of Telmex Internacional.

 

 

Net income down YoY

The depreciation of the peso in the last quarter and the increase in net debt arising from our share buybacks and the purchases of stock of Telmex, Telmex Internacional, Net Serviços and StarOne brought about an increase in our comprehensive financing costs, which totaled 11.1 billion pesos in the quarter. These, in turn, were an important factor in the reduction of our net income to 16.3 billion pesos.

   
Capex of MXP 121Bn

Our net debt rose to 321 billion pesos in December from 207 billion at the close of 2010 to help fund 70 billion pesos in stock purchases and 54 billion pesos in share buybacks. Our cash flow from operations more than covered our capital expenditures of 121 billion pesos and dividends of 17 billion.

Churn period reduced

In October we adopted a more conservative reporting methodology for wireless subscribers in Mexico. We reduced the churn period to effectively report as active subscribers only those prepaid clients who have made an air-time recharge over a given period. Pursuant to the new reporting conditions, our fourth quarter figures reflect 2.3 million disconnections taking our wireless subscriber base to 65.7 million, 2.4% above last year’s. Notwithstanding the methodological change, ourcommercial activities remain strong having registered 9.1 million gross additions in the quarter, 8.6% more than in the same period of the prior year.

  
4.8M lines with mobile broadband

We continue to perform well in the postpaid segment, with postpaid net subscriber additions in the period nearly as high as those of the previous year, leading to a 17.3% annual increase in our postpaid base to 7.5 million subs. The adoption of 3G - enabled devices continues at a rapid pace: we already service 4.8 million lines with full broadband connectivity.

 
Net gains from MNP

Corroborating the preference of consumers, we continue to be a net gainer from number portability, with 251 thousand ported-in lines during the last three months of 2011.

 
4Q revenues up 3.4% YoY

Our fourth quarter revenues totaled 68.3 billion pesos, exceeding by 3.4% those of the prioryear. Wireless revenues represented 60% of that figure. Net wireless service revenues (after commissions paid to distributors) rose 3.1% whereas fixed-line revenues were up 2.4%. The latter increases were both driven by data revenues since voice revenues were down on both platforms, as the ongoing reduction in fixed-line voice revenues was now accompanied by that in mobile voice revenues brought about by the sharp reduction of mobile termination rates. Resulting from the 20% reduction in the average price per minute of voice, MOUs were up 7.7% relative to a year before and reached 235 minutes per sub, the highest in Latam.

 
EBITDA margin down 3.3% YoY

The EBITDAof our Mexican operations declined 3.3% from the last quarter of 2010, to 32.8 billion pesos. It represented 48% of total revenues. The reduction had to do with the increase of subscriber acquisition costs—mostly to do with the 9% increase in gross subscriber additions and the depreciation of the peso—the increase in network maintenance and service costs in the two platforms and the impact from lower mobile termination rates.

 
New promotions in Mexico

In February Telcel launched a new promotion by which any postpaid plan may be increased by 200 minutes per month for a 100-peso additional charge—including tax—in the corresponding monthly rent. When adjusted by the OECD’s purchasing power parity exchange rates (PPP), prices per minute in Mexico rank as the third lowest in the OECD.

 
Low prices for broadband upgrades

Also in February Telmex offered its broadband clients prices ranging between USD 3.81 and USD 1.53 dollars equivalent for each additional megabit per second (Mbps) in the upgrade of their existing plans by 2, 5 or 10 Mbps. The resulting prices per Mbps are up to 87% lower than those erroneously quoted by the OECD in a recent report.

Net adds triple YoY

Our combined operations in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay added 621thousand clients in the quarter—three times more than those obtained the prior year—and finished December with 20.7 million wireless subscribers, 5.6% more than in 2010 with postpaid subscribers growing nearly twice as fast. We also had 306 thousand fixed RGUs, up 41.4% year-on-year driven by broadband services.

 
4Q Revenues 17% YoY

Revenues for the quarter totaled 3.2 billion Argentinean pesos, having risen 17.4% froma year before. Wireless net servicerevenue growth was slightly higher at 18.0%, with data growing 21.4%. Fixed-line revenues expanded 16.7% mostly on account of increases in long distance revenues.

 
EBITDA margin at 37.1%

Our fourth quarter EBITDA of 1.2 billion Argentinean pesos was up 4.4% and was equivalent to 37.1% of revenues. The margin was down as a result of higher subscriber growth and certain operating costs that have grown faster than our revenues.

 
Full year revenues up 20%

For the full year 2011, revenues came in at 11.9 billion Argentinean pesos and EBITDA at 4.8 billion Argentinean pesos, exceeding by 19.9% and 13.9% respectively the figures for 2010.

  
HSPA+ services

We launched HSPA+services in the region, substantially increasing data transmission speeds for our 3G clients.

2.9M net adds in 4Q

Our wireless subscriber base finished December with 60.4 million wireless subscribers—16.9% more than a year before—after adding 2.9 million clients in the quarter and 8.7 million in the full year. In the postpaid segment we gained 597 thousand subs in the quarter taking the total for 2011 to 2.4 million, 54.2% more than a year before. Our postpaid subscriber base reached 12.7 million, representing an annual increase of 23.7%.

 
10M PayTV accesses

On the fixed-line platform we ended the year with 23.6 million fixed RGUs, anincrease of 26.8% relative to 2010. We added 846 thousand PayTV accesses in the quarter and 2.9 million in the full year to end December with close to 10 million clients, 41.6% more than a year before, whereas broadband accesses climbed 23.6%.

 
Mobile data revenues+29% YoY 

Our fourth quarter revenues, 5.9 billion reais, were 6.3% higher than a year before, with wireless net service revenues (after commissions paid to distributors) increasing 4.6% and fixed-line revenues—which account for 52% of the total—growing 7.8%. Mobile data revenues expanded 28.6% and fixed broadband revenues 15.6%, whereas those coming from PayTV services rose 83.9%.

 
EBITDA at 1.3 billion reais

The quarter’s EBITDA was down 2.2% to 1.3 billion reais and was equivalent to 22.8% of revenues. The decline in margins was derived from an increase in costs of content, greater maintenance charges—including costs related to the expansion of the network which are not accounted for as Capex—as well as higher operating costs mostly linked to improvements in customer care and the costs associated to growing our wireless base, for the most part, in the postpaid segment.

EBITDA margin at 26.2%

Revenues for the year exceeded those of the prior year by 6.9%, reaching 22.8 billion reais. Wire-line revenues increased 8.4% and those derived from wireless 5.4%. EBITDA for 2011 was just shy of six billion reais, with the EBITDAmargin at 26.2%.

  
HSPA+ networks in Brazil

We continue to expand our 3G footprint, and we have upgraded our network to HSPA+. This technology allowed us to, on average, triple the data transmission speed of our wireless data users. Greater capacity was instrumental to increase our data ARPU by 9.1% over the prior year and our MOU by 13.6% to 109 minutes per subscriber. In addition to this, and to improve the experience of our clients, we opened 60 new Customer Care Centers throughout the country.

EBITDA margin at 47.1%

The quarter’s EBITDA, 1.1 trillion Colombian pesos, was 14.8% higher than that of the fourth quarter of 2010. Our EBITDAmargin, 47.1%, was somewhat below that of the previous year partly on account of gross additions that were 14.2% higher.

 

Full year revenues up 15%

Total revenues for 2011 were 8.7 trillion Colombian pesos and EBITDA 4.2 trillion. They were up 14.5% and 18.3%, respectively. The EBITDA margin, 48.3%, was 1.6 percentage points higher than that of a year before.

RGUs +21% YoY

We added 176 thousand new clients in the fourth quarter bringing the total for the year to 666 thousand. Our wireless subscriber base ended December with 5.5 million wireless subscribers, 13.7% more than the year before; our postpaid subscriber base was up 29.7%. Our fixed-line RGUs rose 21.1% year-on-year and surpassed the one million mark.

 

4Q Wireless revenues +19% YoY

Revenues for the quarter were up 14.7% year-on-year to 146.3 billion Chilean pesos. Wireless revenues representing just over two thirds of total revenues rose 18.7% on the back of a 35.3% increase in data revenues. On the fixed-line platform, the quarter’s revenues increased 12.1% mostly on account of broadband and PayTV growth.

 

2011 EBITDA margin at 11%

We obtained EBITDA of nearly five billion Chilean pesos in the fourth quarter with a margin of 3.4%. EBITDA was down from the year before mostly on account of expenses related to investments directed towards the expansion and integration of the networks.

 

Full year revenues up 17%

Total revenues for the year were 547.9 billion Chilean pesos, exceeding by 17.3% those obtained in 2010, while EBITDA for the full year came in at 43.7 billion Chilean pesos, 21.3% higher than the one registered the year before.

19M subs

Our wireless subscriber base increased 6.4% over the year to finish December with 18.5 million subscribers in Central America and the Caribbean. This figure incorporates net additions of 503 thousand in the fourth quarter, a period when we started our operations in Costa Rica, completed the acquisition of Digicel’s operations in Honduras, and sold our operation in Jamaica. On the fixed-line platform we had 5.8 million RGUs, 7.6% more than in 2010, as PayTV accesses jumped 30.5% from the year-earlier quarter.

   

Wireless data revenues + 66% YoY

Fourth quarter revenues of 946 million dollars were up 5.7% year-on-year, with wireless service revenues rising 14.4% buoyed by 65.8% data revenue growth. Fixed-line revenues declined 4.0%, as the increase in PayTV and broadband revenues was not sufficient to fully compensate for the decline in fixed voice revenues.

   

4Q EBITDA margin of 26.8%

EBITDA for the quarter was 253 million dollars, equivalent to 26.8% of revenues. This figure already reflects the costs associated with the launch of our operations in Costa Rica and to a lesser extent, to the integration of our recently acquired operation in Honduras that had reported losses.

Revenues in 2011, 3.7 billion dollars, exceeded by 4.5% those of 2010 as wireless service revenues rose 12.1%. EBITDA of 1.1 billion dollars was practically flat from the year before.
