América Móvil’s first quarter of
2016 financial and operating report
Mexico City, April 27, 2016 - 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 first quarter of 2016.
We added 723 thousand postpaid subs in the quarter with Brazil and Mexico accounting for just over 200 thousand postpaid net adds each and Colombia 69 thousand. Our contract base was up 6.1% year-on-year.
Our prepaid subscriber base declined 4.1% year-on-year following the disconnection of 2.4 million clients in the first quarter including 908 thousand in Brazil and 702 thousand in Colombia.
On the fixed line platform we ended the quarter with 81.3 million RGUs, 3.8% more than a year before. This figure comprises 33.8 million landlines, 25.6 million broadband accesses and 21.9 million PayTV units.
First quarter revenues totaled 223 billion pesos, up 1.4% over the year with service revenues increasing 0.3% in Mexican peso terms and declining 1.1% at constant exchange rates, reflecting stronger competition and sharp reductions in interconnection rates. Fixed-broadband and PayTV revenues led the way, increasing 7.9% and 5.9% at constant exchange rates.
EBITDA of 61.7 billion pesos was down 9.6% in peso terms and 8.8% at constant exchange rates. The service revenue margin stood at 32.0%. Operating profits fell 25.6% in peso terms reflecting both the EBITDA reduction and a 10.3% increase in depreciation and amortization charges.
Our comprehensive financing cost amounted to 21 billion pesos, 14.5% less than the year before, with net interest payments of 6.9 billion pesos. Whereas our foreign exchange losses totaled 1.8 billion, other financial expenses reached 12 billion pesos.
We obtained a net profit of 4.8 billion pesos in the quarter, equivalent to 7 peso cents per share.
Our net debt totaled 577 billion pesos in March, down from 582 billion pesos in December. In flow terms gross debt was reduced by 23.7 billion pesos and net debt 14.0 billion pesos. Our net debt was equivalent to 2.0 times EBITDA (LTM).
Capital expenditures amounted to 26 billion pesos directed mostly to the deployment of 4G, the expansion of our fiber-optic networks and the build-up of capacity. In addition, we distributed 2.8 billion pesos to shareholders, mostly by way of share buy-backs.

Relevant Events
On February 19th we announced that in the spectrum auction carried out by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) our subsidiary Telcel obtained the concession on 60 MHz nationwide, including 20 MHz in the AWS-1 band and 40 MHz in the AWS-3 band, to be added to the current spectrum holdings in that band. For this concession, which will expire on October 1, 2030, Telcel has made an upfront payment of $2,098 million pesos with an additional amount payable over the life of the concession.
On March 10th we issued bonds in the amount of €1.5 billion euros in two tranches; the first one for €850 million euros with a coupon of 1.500%, comes due in 2024; and the second one, for €650 million euros with a coupon of 2.125%, in 2028.
On April 18th, shareholders approved the payment of a cash dividend of MXP$0.28 to each of the shares of series “A”, “AA” and “L” payable in two equal installments on July 15 and November 11, 2016. In addition, the shareholders resolved to allocate the amount of 12 billion pesos to increase the funds available in our share buyback program.
Access Lines
We had a total of 365 million access lines at the end of March. This figure was 0.8% lower than a year before on account of mobile disconnections; it comprises 284 million wireless subscribers, 34 million landlines, 26 million broadband accesses and 22 million PayTV units.
We registered net disconnections of 1.7 million wireless subscribers in the first quarter that resulted in a 2.0% annual decline of our subscriber base. As for our fixed RGUs, they increased 3.8% year-on-year mostly on account of a 9.3% jump in broadband accesses.

América Móvil Consolidated Results
The first quarter marked the worst beginning of the year for capital markets in general and for emerging markets in particular, with renewed concerns about the sustainability of growth in China impacting commodity prices across the board. Oil prices were under severe pressure, reaching in mid-February their lowest level in at least 12 years.
The Mexican peso depreciated sharply in the first two months of the quarter, dragged down by oil prices. Currency volatility in Mexico and other countries was very high throughout the quarter making it difficult to manage the sale of dollar-based products such as handsets. In spite of this, economic activity was rather stable throughout the region with the major exception being Brazil.
Our revenues totaled 223 billion pesos in the first quarter, 1.4% more than the year before with service revenues increasing 0.3% in Mexican peso terms and declining 1.1% at constant exchange rates. Fixed-broadband and PayTV revenues led the way, increasing 7.9% and 5.9% year-on-year, as mobile data revenues decelerated, particularly in Mexico and Brazil. Mobile voice revenues were impacted by sharp reductions in interconnection rates in Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Chile. Central America continued to outperfom other regions, posting 5.9% service revenue growth at constant exchange rates.

EBITDA came in at 62 billion pesos, down 9.6% from the year-earlier quarter in peso terms and 8.8% at constant exchange rates. It was equivalent to 27.7% of total revenues. Operating profits fell 25.6% in peso terms reflecting both the EBITDA reduction and a 10.3% increase in depreciation and amortization charges, an increase that for the most part reflected the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of our stake in TKA.
Our comprehensive financing cost amounted to 21 billion pesos, 14.5% less than the year before, with net interest payments of 6.9 billion pesos. Whereas our foreign exchange losses totaled 1.8 billion, other financial expenses—reflecting mostly changes in the value of derivatives—reached 12 billion pesos.

Mexico
We finished March with 73.5 million wireless subscribers in Mexico, having added 203 thousand postpaid subscribers—our postpaid base is up 11.8% year-on-year—and reduced by 405 thousand our prepaid subscriber base. On the fixed-line platform we had 21.7 million fixed RGUs, 0.6% more than a year before, with the number of fixed-broadband clients reaching 8.8 million, an increase of 4.2% over the prior year.
Our first quarter revenues totaled 64.8 billion pesos—down 2.6% year-on-year—with wireless revenues declining 3.3% and fixed-line revenues roughly flat from the year before. Service revenues were down 7.7% mostly on account of lower mobile voice revenues following the introduction of more competitive plans and the impact of the Easter Holidays. Last year they took place in April whereas this year it was celebrated in March, affecting the annual comparisons. Significant exchange rate volatility in the quarter hampered our commercial operations.
EBITDA came in at 23.1 billion pesos, a 16.7% year-on-year decline, driven for the most part by the reduction in mobile and fixed voice revenues, but also reflecting rental payments made to Telesites, which did not appear in the results a year before. The EBITDA margin was reduced to 35.7% in relation to total revenues. It is important to note that the impact of the currency depreciation on equipment revenues overstates the reduction of the EBITDA margin.
The decline from the year-earlier quarter to some extent reflects the impact of the currency depreciation on equipment sales—they were up 23.0% —and total revenues. In relation to service revenues, the reduction in the EBITDA margin was 4.3 percentage points.
We continued to make important investments to expand our 3G and 4G footprint and boost the overall capacity of our networks. Voice traffic increased 36% year-on-year and mobile data volumes surged 144%, led in part by increases in smartphone penetration: approximately 45% of our clients have a smartphone, up from 30% a year ago.
The additional 60 MHz of spectrum acquired in an auction last February, together with our investments in infrastructure, will enable us to multiply data volumes, increase data speeds and improve the overall service quality. Quality of service and superior coverage have been the main factors behind our continuing to gain clients under number portability: we reached record numbers of port-ins in February and March.

Wireless service revenues expanded 36.8% with data revenues accelerating to a 56.0% growth rate; data now makes up 54.3% of wireless service revenues. Fixed-line revenues—which represent only 8.7% of total service revenues—were up 41.9% annually to reach 609 million Argentinean pesos.
EBITDA of 3.3 billion Argentinean pesos jumped 43.9% relative to the year-earlier quarter. The EBITDA margin, 35.9% of revenues, climbed 2.3 percentage points in the period.
We continued with the rollout of 4G-LTE networks in Argentina that will consolidate our position as market leader and keep on gaining clients from mobile number portability given that we have the latest technologies and provide the best customer experience.
In February we were allocated the use of 30 MHz of spectrum in the 1700/2100 MHz frequency in Paraguay with the payment of 30 million dollars; we had made an upfront payment of 15 million dollars in December. We began the deployment of a 4G-LTE network, to be launched in the second half of the year.

Brazil
Our wireless subscriber base ended March with 65.3 million clients, 9.2% less than in the same period of 2015. This figure factors in 908 thousand net disconnections of prepaid clients that were not generating traffic. It also incorporates 219 thousand net postpaid additions so our contract base rose 6.1% over the year.
On the fixed-line platform we reached 36.9 million fixed RGUs at the end of the quarter, 249 thousand more than a year before. This RGUs figure comprises 8.4 million broadband accesses—which represented an 8.0% increase over the year after connecting 243 thousand new units in the quarter—and 16.0 million PayTV units, including 280 thousand units from the acquisition of Blue Interactive.
Our revenues reached almost nine billion reais and were down 0.7% year-on-year as a result of a 24.6% decline in equipment revenues. Service revenues were somewhat higher than a year before, 0.3%, on the back of data revenue growth of 9.9% on the fixed-line platform, with PayTV revenues rising 4.1% as we continued to make inroads in the video-on-demand segment. Wireless voice revenues were down 12.8% following a reduction of 35% in the mobile termination rate—which had a net positive effect in termination costs—and as a result of lower usage and deactivation of prepaid clients.
First quarter EBITDA of 2.4 billion reais was up 1.2% relative to the prior year with the EBITDA margin rising to 26.3% from 25.8% a year before. Total costs came down 1.3% on an annual basis mostly on the back of greater network efficiencies that brought down service charges.

Chile
After 99 thousand wireless net additions in the quarter, we ended March with 6.5 million subs, 10.4% more than a year before, while on the fixed-line platform we had 1.3 million RGUs.
Total revenues of 180.7 billion Chilean pesos were up 1.9% year over year, with service revenues rising 4.8% and equipment revenues declining 22.4%. Wireless revenues—representing two thirds of the total—were driven by mobile data revenues, which expanded 16.4% year-on-year and are now equivalent to 43.1% of service revenues. Wireless voice revenues however, declined 2.3% annually in part as a result of an 18.7% cut in mobile termination rates effective on January 1st. Fixed-data revenues increased 14.1% over the year, and more than offset the reduction in PayTV revenues, -1.8%.
At 13.3 billion Chilean pesos, EBITDA was 21.9% greater compared to the year before. It was equivalent to 7.3% of revenues. Operational efficiencies and good cost controls were instrumental in the strong improvement in EBITDA, that also reflects the positive net effect of lower interconnection costs.

Colombia
Our wireless subscriber base finished March with 28.3 million subscribers after net disconnections of 702 thousand prepaid clients. In the postpaid segment we continued to make progress, adding 69 thousand subscribers. On the fixed-line front we had a total of 5.9 million RGUs, 8.4% more than a year before. Broadband was the fastest growing division—rising 13.7% over the year to just almost two million accesses—followed by fixed-voice lines that expanded 11.6% to finish the quarter with 1.6 million lines.
The quarter’s revenues of 2.7 trillion Colombian pesos were down 5.0% relative to the year-earlier quarter, with service revenues declining 5.8% and equipment revenues falling 1.3%. The drop in service revenues stems from pressure in the wireless business which represents around two thirds of the revenues. Wireless data revenues expanded 16.8%—they account now for 45.2% of service revenues—but mobile voice revenues were pressured by a 33% drop in the interconnection rate and by an aggressive commercial environment, with some subscribers taking advantage of lower-priced plans. On the fixed-line platform we continued to deliver good growth with PayTV and voice revenues up 17.3% and 11.4% respectively, and data revenues increasing 8.4%.
EBITDA was down 12.7% relative to the year earlier quarter to 979 billion Colombian pesos. It was equivalent to 36.1% of revenues.

Ecuador
At the end of March we had a total of 8.7 million wireless subscribers in Ecuador, 17.5% less than a year before. Yet, the postpaid subscriber base was up 9.4% year-on-year to 2.6 million contract clients after adding 71 thousand new clients in the quarter. On the fixed-line platform we had 354 thousand RGUs, slightly less than a year before.
The quarter’s revenues, 365 million dollars, were down 11.0% year-on-year in the face of aggressive commercial promotions in the context of a slower economy. Altogether mobile voice revenues contracted 14.8% and mobile data revenues 9.0%. On the fixed-line platform revenues of 15 million dollars were down 5.4%.
At 152 million dollars, EBITDA fell 13.2% in relation to the year-earlier quarter. The EBITDA margin was 41.7% of revenues, down from 42.8% a year before. The annual comparison is affected by the “market share” tax that we began paying in the third quarter of last year.

Peru
After postpaid net additions of 90 thousand subs in the first quarter and prepaid disconnections of 103 thousand subs we ended March with 12.1 million wireless subscribers, with our postpaid subscriber base increasing 5.7% year-on-year. In addition to our mobile subscriber base we had 1.4 million fixed-line RGUs, 14.1% more than a year before.
First quarter revenues, 1.3 billion soles, declined 6.3% relative to the prior year. Wireless voice revenues were 16.7% lower than a year before on the back of a 63% cut in mobile termination rates and the impact of commercial promotions carried out in the period. Mobile data revenues were up 6.4% and fixed-line service revenues—which account for 18% of the total—11.2% on the back of fixed-data and PayTV revenue growth of 17.1% and 17.6%, respectively.
EBITDA came in at 255 million soles, equivalent to 20.1% of revenues. The reduction in EBITDA from the prior year is in part a consequence of the elimination of asymmetric termination rates that has resulted in higher interconnection costs to the company. It also stems from an increase in service costs attributable to spectrum constraints.

At 5.1 million, fixed RGUs were 8.0% higher than a year before; the growth came mostly from broadband accesses, which jumped 17.0% over the year.
Our revenues totaled 551 million dollars and were 4.8% higher than a year before. Wireless service revenues rose 7.3% on the back of data revenues that expanded at constant exchange 19.9% rates on the mobile platform—particularly in Guatemala and Honduras—and 10.7% on the fixed-line platform. PayTV revenue growth was 4.8%. Wireless voice revenues were almost identical to those of the year-earlier quarter but fixed voice revenues continued to drop.
EBITDA of 191 million dollars was up 9.6% relative to the precedent year with the EBITDA margin rising to 34.7% of revenues, 1.5 percentage points more than in 2015.

Caribbean
After net additions of 70 thousand subscribers our wireless base ended the quarter with 5.3 million subs, 4.0% more than a year before. Additionally, we had 2.6 million fixed RGUs, an increase of 6.9%.
At 468 million dollars, first quarter revenues were slightly down year-on-year, 0.7%, with service revenues declining 2.4%. On the wireless platform, service revenues contracted 7.1% with voice revenues falling 14.8%—reflective of a sharp decline in Puerto Rico—and data revenues increasing 10.7%. The fixed division posted a 1.2% increase in service revenues mostly driven by PayTV, that is growing double digits in both islands.
Our first quarter EBITDA of 132 million dollars is 6.5% lower that last year’s with an EBITDA margin that came in at 28.2% of revenues. The margin decline is associated with our operations in Puerto Rico since the Dominican Republic posted a margin expansion of 2.9 percentage points in the quarter.

United States
We ended March with 25.2 million clients in the U.S. following net disconnections of 458 thousand subs in the quarter, most of them under the TracFone, a voice-only brand, and SafeLink brand. As regards the latter, we must de-enroll subscribers that did not confirm continued eligibility as of December 31st.
The quarter’s revenues of 1.8 billion dollars were down 3.3% compared to the prior year as a result of a 22.0% decline in equipment revenues. Service revenues were slightly lower than last year, -0.5%, reflecting the loss of TracFone and SafeLink clients although ARPU was up 1.4% to 21 dollars per user.
EBITDA declined 24.2% from a year before to 162 million dollars. The EBITDA margin stood at 9.2% down from 11.8% in the year-earlier quarter. We have intensified marketing for our StraightTalk brand, which continues to show solid growth in what remains a very competitive environment.

Telekom Austria Group
All in, our operations in Europe ended March with 20.5 million wireless subscribers, 2.7% more than a year before. This figure reflects the acquisition of ONE in Macedonia, in absence of which our wireless sub base would have remained flat as compared to last year’s. Our postpaid subscriber base rose 4.5% year on year—2.4% organically—having registered solid net additions in Austria, Serbia and Slovenia. We also had 5.6 million fixed-RGUs, up 3.3% on a comparison basis, and 25.5% following acquisitions in Bulgaria, Slovenia and Croatia that brought about an increase of 85.7% of our PayTV base and of 23.3% in the total number of broadband accesses.
First quarter revenues topped one billion euros, down 2.2% on a pro-forma basis. Total revenues in Austria were up 1.2% annually mostly driven by higher equipment revenues from a greater number of high-value postpaid additions. Croatia and Serbia registered revenue growth on account of better operating mobile trends and, in the latter, due to an increase in interconnection revenues. Macedonia was stable on an annual comparable, while in Bulgaria, Belarus and Slovenia we registered revenue declines. Adjusting for the depreciation of the Belarusian ruble and for extraordinary items booked in 2015 in Slovenia, these operations would have registered positive revenue growth.
Pro-forma EBITDA declined 2.5% year on year to 334.4 million euros. Correcting for one-off items in 2015, the group’s EBITDA would have risen 3.3% relative last year’s quarter.
