Relevant Events
On March 7th, we received a resolution from the Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Regulator, in which we were informed that América Móvil and its operating subsidiaries Telcel and Telmex, were determined “preponderant economic agents”, and for such reason, subject to asymmetric regulation. The specific regulation includes asymmetric interconnection rates, passive infrastructure sharing, unbundling of the local loop, wholesale provision of dedicated links, elimination of national roaming charges, access to mobile virtual network operators, regulation on quality of service, and information requirements.
On March 24th, the Mexican President submitted a bill to Congress proposing implementing legislation for the June 2013 constitutional amendments. When enacted, the legislation will establish the new Federal Law on Telecommunications and Broadcasting. The proposed bill may include additional asymmetric regulation on preponderant economic agents. Congress may vote on the bill shortly.
On April 23rd we entered into a shareholders’ agreement with the Austrian Government’s Österreichische Industrieholding AG (ÖIAG), the holding company that owns a 28% ownership interest in Telekom Austria. AMX and ÖIAG together own 55% of the entity. As part of the agreement, AMX is committed to support a capital increase of one billion euros to strengthen the financial position of the company. As a consequence of the agreement AMX will launch a public tender offer for all outstanding shares not held by AMX and ÖIAG at an offer price of €7.15 per share. Both the shareholders’ agreement and the public offer are subject to certain regulatory approvals. AMX will obtain direct operational responsibilities in Telekom Austria.

Total Accesses
We finished March with 342.9 million accesses, 4.5% more than in the year-earlier quarter. This figure comprises 272.2 million wireless subscribers, 31.4 million landlines, 19.6 million broadband accesses and 19.7 million PayTV units. Our fixed-RGUs were up 8.2% on a year-on-year basis—with PayTV being the most important driver— and our wireless subscriber base 3.5%.
Wireless Subscribers
Our wireless subscriber base finished March with 272.2 million clients, with our postpaid base increasing 9.0% and our prepaid base 2.6%. Net additions came in at 2.3 million for the quarter—including 1.4 million users from the acquisition of Page Plus—after net disconnections of 585 thousand subscribers in Mexico, Chile, the Argentinean block and Puerto Rico.
Disconnections were almost entirely in the prepaid market, after a clean-up of 980 thousand clients that were not meeting our traffic and consumption requirements—315 thousand subs in Mexico, 242 thousand in Brazil and 283 thousand in Argentina—but we continued to make progress in the postpaid segment of the market practically across the board. We obtained 769 thousand new postpaid clients in the first quarter, including 289 thousand in Brazil, 153 thousand in Mexico, 120 thousand in Peru and 90 thousand in Colombia.
At the end of the quarter, Mexico accounted for 27% of our total subscriber base, followed by Brazil with 25% and Colombia with 11%. Our operations in the U.S. and those in the Central America-Caribbean block represent around 9% each, followed closely by those of the Argentinian block at 8%. The weight of our operations in Ecuador and Peru is around 4.5% each.

América Móvil Consolidated Results
Economic activity continued to improve marginally in much of the developed world during the first quarter of the year, whereas in many developing countries, particularly those more dependent on commodity prices—and in particular those with trade links to China—it decelerated somewhat. In Mexico the economy appears to be making a comeback, continuing with the improved trends that began to take form during the fourth quarter.
Our first quarter revenues were up 1.3% year-on-year to 195.4 billion pesos. The volatility of exchange rates ended up understating the strength of the underlying revenue dynamism of our various operations. At constant exchange rates service revenues posted their second best performance in the last five quarters, jumping to 6.4% from 5.4% in the prior quarter. Wireless voice and fixed data services were the segments whose growth accelerated in the quarter.
The South American block continued very much alongside its past growth trend, with both Central-America/Caribbean and the U.S. losing some dynamism. In Mexico service revenue growth reverted a 0.6% revenue decline in the fourth quarter posting instead a 2.0% service revenue increase. A year before, in the first quarter of 2013, Mexico’s service revenues were falling 1.6% year-on-year.
At 64.9 billion pesos, first quarter EBITDA was up 1.7% in peso terms. As with revenues, the currency volatility suggests a more subdued improvement than is the case at constant exchange rates: EBITDA jumped 6.7% year-on-year, up from 5.7% in the fourth quarter. By this measure EBITDA had, in the first quarter, its best showing in the last five quarters. The above was the case even in spite of the company’s push into postpaid, a segment that typically requires higher subsidies and even more so where smartphones are concerned. Our postpaid base increased 9.0% year-on-year—vs. 2.6% for prepaid—and the average cost per device soared 7.4% at constant exchange rates.
Our operating profits of 38.7 billion pesos were partly offset by a comprehensive financing cost of 8.3 billion pesos that represented, for the most part, net interest payments on our debt. A year before we registered a comprehensive financing income of 1.4 billion pesos that had been brought about by sizable foreign exchange gains in the amount of 17.4 billion pesos.
Altogether we obtained a net profit of 13.9 billion pesos in the first quarter, equivalent to 20 peso cents per share or 30 dollar cents per ADR.

In the first quarter our net debt fell slightly to 440 billion pesos from 442 billion at the end of the year (valued at the end of period exchange rates), whereas our gross debt came down by 10 billion pesos to 481 billion pesos. Allowing 50% equity credit for our hybrid bonds, the net debt to EBITDA (LTM) ratio came in at 1.6x.
Our cash flow allowed us to fund capital expenditures of 19.1 billion pesos and reduce our net debt by 2.2 billion pesos. Our share buybacks totaled 12.6 billion pesos and our acquisition of ownership interests 1.4 billion pesos. In addition to the above we directed 4.1 billion pesos to the funding of our pension liabilities.

Mexico
Our Mexican wireless operations continued to gain postpaid subscribers in the first quarter, 153 thousand, but lost instead 315 thousand prepaid subscribers, to end the quarter with 73.3 million subscribers. On the fixed line platform we gained 107 thousand broadband access lines but saw our fixed lines come down by 247 thousand, for a net reduction of 140 thousand RGUs.
Revenues totaled 67.8 billion pesos in the first quarter, with mobile service revenues expanding 4.1% from the year-earlier quarter and fixed-line revenues advancing 0.8%. On both platforms service revenues exhibited their strongest performance in several quarters, likely confirming what we suspected in the fourth quarter that at least part of this improvement had to do with the firming up of the Mexican economy.
Although they have strengthened recently, mobile-voice revenues were still down 2.3% in the first quarter. Data revenues on both platforms surged to 13.3% on mobile and 7.2% on the fixed segment.
EBITDA came in at 30.1 billion pesos and was down 0.8% year-on-year.

Total accesses reached 102.3 million at the end of the quarter; 6.6% more than a year before. On the wireless segment, we ended March with 68.7 million subscribers, with our subscriber base rising 3.7% year-on-year on the back of an 8.9% increase in the postpaid segment. We gained 289 thousand postpaid subscribers in the period and disconnected 242 thousand prepaid clients that were not meeting our consumption requirements. On the fixed division, PayTV led the way in terms of growth. PayTV clients were up 15.5% after adding 432 thousand new PayTV units in the first quarter whereas broadband accesses rose 14.8%.
Our first quarter revenues expanded 8.5% from the year-earlier quarter to 8.6 billion reais. Wireless service revenues increased 3.8% as data revenues climbed 15.0%. Voice revenues were flat in spite of a 25% cut in interconnection rates effective in February; altogether the price per minute of voice came down 5.3%.
Fixed line revenues rose 11.0% compared with the precedent year. The most important component, PayTV revenues—representing around 43% of the total—posted an increase of 20.9% year-over-year. Broadband revenues were even more dynamic, expanding 22.4%.
The quarter’s EBITDA of 2.2 billion reais was 15.4% above the year-earlier quarter. The margin for the period was 26.1% of revenues, 1.5 percentage points greater than a year before. The improvements in profitability resulted from further integration of our operations and the reduction of costs associated with a decline in leased lines and in network maintenance costs.

Colombia
After adding 232 thousand new wireless subscribers, we ended March with 29.2 million clients, 5.6% more than a year before. As regards our postpaid base, it was up 6.5% over the year having gained 90 thousand new contract clients in the first quarter. Additionally, we had 4.9 million fixed RGUs, 13.8% more than the year before. Broadband accesses and voice lines posted an annual increase of around 22%.
First quarter revenues of 2.8 trillion Colombian pesos exceeded by 8.0% those of the prior year. Wireless service revenues were up 0.9% on an annual basis, with wireless data revenues increasing 3.5%. Voice revenues remained practically unchanged. Fixed line revenues—that account for 20% of the total—rose 12.9% year-on-year, on the back of broadband and data services.
Our EBITDA for the quarter was 1.1 trillion Colombian pesos, 2.3% higher than the year before. The EBITDA margin stood at 40.1% of revenues. Subscriber acquisition costs have gone up, especially on the postpaid segment, as clients switch to data plans. The average cost of the devices has risen approximately 30% as the adoption of smartphones continues on the rise.
In March the concession in Colombia was renovated for a new ten-year period. The concession comprises 40MHz in the 850 MHz and the 1,900 MHz bands. The payment for the concession amounts to 286.6 billion Colombian pesos, including an upfront payment of 150 billion that has already been covered, and build-out obligations for the remainder. A periodic charge of 0.7% of gross revenues will be levied on spectrum use and will be paid in cash or in build-out obligations, as determined by the Ministry of Communications. In addition to the above, a payment of 2.2% of voice service revenues will accrue on a quarterly basis.

Chile
We ended March with 5.9 million wireless subscribers after disconnections of 119 thousand clients in the first quarter stemming from a clean-up of our prepaid client base. In the postpaid segment we had 41 thousand net subscriber gains, 35.4% more than in the first quarter of 2013. In the fixed line platform, RGUs totaled 1.2 million; they were up 7.2% on an annual basis.
Revenues declined 1.4% on an annual basis to 182.2 billion Chilean pesos as a result of a reduction in wireless service revenues of 5.3%. The drop in revenues is entirely linked to a 75% cut in interconnection rates that became effective in January—with its respective reduction in interconnection costs of the same magnitude— and which took our voice revenues down by 17.3%. Data revenues, however, increased 33% year-over-year. Wire-line revenues, 59.4 billion Chilean pesos, rose 13.3% over the year buoyed by the growth of broadband and PayTV services.
EBITDA of 11.2 billion Chilean pesos increased 64.7% annually and was equivalent to 6.1% of revenues. In the previous quarter EBITDA had fallen 28.3% from the year before.
We had a positive balance from Mobile Number Portability in the first quarter.

Our wireless subscriber base finished March with 12.1 million clients, 1.2% more than a year before. The postpaid segment however, rose 11.1% over the year having added 51 thousand new contract clients. Fixed-RGUs totaled 322 thousand, 23.3% more than a year before, driven by the growth of the PayTV division that soared 80.7% in the period.
Our revenues were up 3.3% from the year-earlier quarter to 425 million dollars, with wireless service revenues increasing 6.4% on the back of data revenue growth of 17.5%. ARPU was up 4.1% relative to the prior year. Wire-line revenues increased 14.8% year-on-year to 15 million dollars.

Peru
We finished March with 12 million wireless subscribers after adding 175 thousand new clients in the first quarter. More than two thirds of the quarter’s additions were contract clients. Our wireless postpaid base had an annual increase of 24.5%. We also had 1.1 million fixed RGUs, 22.1% more than in the same period of 2013. Growth on the fixed-line division was supported by the growth of broadband accesses: 43.9%.
Total revenues of 1.3 billion soles were 11.0% superior to those of the precedent year. Wireless service revenues grew 7.8% in an annual fashion, with data revenues climbing 23.6%. In spite of a reduction in the average price per minute of 12.8%, voice revenues rose 1.9% helping ARPU post an increase of 17.4% over the year.
The quarter’s EBITDA of 482 million soles, was marginally higher than that of the year-earlier quarter. The EBITDA margin for the period declined four percentage points to 38.1% in twelve months as a result of higher acquisition costs linked to more complex plans that are sold with smartphones.
