América Móvil’s first quarter of 2015 financial and operating report

Mexico City, April 23, 2015 - 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 2015.

We ended March with 368 million access lines after net additions of 125 thousand in the quarter. This figure includes 289.6 million were wireless subscribers, 34.5 million landlines, 22.3 million broadband accesses and 21.6 million PayTV units.

Brazil was our largest and fastest growing operation. We finished March with 108.3 million access lines, 5.8% more than the year before.

Our first quarter revenues totaled 220 billion pesos, 3.1% more than a year before in Mexican peso terms. At constant exchange rates service revenues were up 1.0% in the quarter (pro-forma).

Mobile data revenues continued to be the more important driver of growth, followed by PayTV, rising 12.0%, and 9.9%, respectively. Fixed broadband revenues increased 9.2%, while voice revenues continued their downward trend in both fixed and mobile platforms.

Consolidated EBITDA totaled 68.2 billion pesos in the quarter. At constant exchange rates it was down 2.1% year on year. The EBITDA margin stood at 31.0% of revenues.

Our operating profits declined 6.6% in Mexican peso terms as depreciation and amortization charges rose 1.6%. Our comprehensive financing cost reflected foreign exchange losses of 17.8 billion pesos, mostly on account of the sharp depreciation of the Brazilian real vs. the U.S. dollar in the quarter.

In the quarter we funded capital expenditures in the amount of 29.0 billion pesos and distributed 11.4 billion pesos to shareholders.

Our net debt ended March at 536 billion pesos. It was equivalent to 1.75 times LTM EBITDA.

América Móvil Consolidated Results

In the first quarter of the year we saw some strong job growth indicators in the U.S. that buoyed expectations of a more rapid economic expansion in that country and possibly also in the rest of the world, helped along by quantitative easing in Europe and by oil prices that remained depressed worldwide. There appeared to be a good chance that economic activity would pick up in the industrialized world. Whereas such improvement would potentially benefit Latin American countries it would also lead to greater financial volatility in anticipation of interest rates being raised in the U.S., which in turn could negatively affect the region.

Our consolidated revenues were up 3.1% in peso terms from a year before to 220 billion pesos, with service revenues rising 0.6%, while our EBITDA declined 3.1% relative to the prior year to 68.2 billion pesos as our consolidated EBITDA margin came down to 31%. At constant exchange rates service revenues rose 1.0% and EBITDA fell 2.1%. The deceleration observed by service revenues reflects among other things the impact of the various regulatory measures implemented in Mexico including the elimination of termination charges for calls that terminate on our networks, and of national roaming and long distance charges (the latter ones from January 1st) on both the mobile and fixed-line platforms.

In Latin America data revenues increased 14.9% on the mobile platform and 10.8% on the fixed one at constant exchange rates, with PayTV revenues climbing 9.9% and voice revenues down 10.5% in both the mobile and fixed-line platforms.

The South American block continued to be the main driver of service revenue growth—4.6% year on year at constant exchange rates—followed by Central America and the Caribbean with 3.8%. whereas in Mexico they were down 6.0% on account of the measures mentioned above. In the U.S. service revenues rose 7.3% and in Europe they were flat (at constant exchange rates).

Our operating profit was down 6.6% from the prior year to 37.7 billion pesos, after taking into account depreciation and amortization charges that rose 1.6%. Our comprehensive financing cost stood at 24.2 billion pesos as we incurred foreign exchange losses of 17.8 billion pesos, mostly on account of the sharp depreciation of the Brazilian real vs. the U.S. dollar, the value of which shot up 21% in the quarter in reai terms. Foreign exchange losses arose from intercompany loans; the currency position vis-à-vis third parties presented a net gain of 7.2 billion pesos.

We obtained a net profit of 8.2 billion pesos in the quarter. It was equivalent to 12 peso cents per share or 16 dollar cents per ADR.

Mexico

We gained 611 thousand clients in the first quarter—273 thousand of which were postpaid subscribers, our best performance in at least two years—to end March with 72.1 million wireless subs. Our postpaid base increased 7.2% from the year-earlier quarter. On the fixed line platform we lost 757 thousand accesses, most of them broadband accesses, to finish the period with 21.6 million accesses. The reduction in broadband accesses was due to a change in the policy for recognition of active clients.

Revenues totaled 66.6 billion pesos and were down 1.9%, with service revenues falling 6.0% on account of the various regulatory measures implemented since last year, including the elimination of national long distance charges that took effect at the beginning of the year. Whereas voice revenues plummeted given the above, data revenues expanded at a solid pace: 9.7% on mobile and 8.8% on the fixed-line platform. Mobile data revenues now account for 53.3% of mobile service revenues.

EBITDA came in at 27.8 billion pesos and was equivalent to 41.7% of revenues. Relative to the prior year it was down 7.7%.

We continued with the rollout of our 4G LTE network that reaches now over 70 million people. As for mobile number portability, we kept a positive balance in the quarter.

We are proceeding with the spin-off of approximately 10,800 towers and other passive infrastructure used by Telcel. The new company, Telesites, will have MXP $21 billion of net debt.

Brazil

In the first quarter we added 611 thousand mobile subscribers, 240 thousand of which were postpaid clients, and finished the quarter with 71.9 million subs, 4.6% more than a year before, with the postpaid base advancing 8.8%. On the fixed-line platform we reached 36.3 million RGUs, 8.2% more than a year before, having gained 250 thousand in the period.

Total revenues were up 4.9% to 9.0 billion reais, with service revenues expanding slightly faster, 5.0%. Mobile data revenues are leading the way with a 30.0% year-on-year increase, followed by fixed broadband revenues, up 12.5%, and by PayTV with 9.5%. Fixed and mobile voice revenues were both down, with the latter reflecting the impact of the reduction of interconnection rates. Revenues on the fixed-line platform—they account for two thirds of our total revenues in the country—expanded 7.4% from the year-earlier quarter.

EBITDA was up 4.1% from the prior year to 2.3 billion reais,. The EBITDA margin remained practically unchanged in the period.

Following the merger of Claro, Embratel and Net Serviços that took place at the end of 2014, we have been working on integrating the operating and commercial structures of all companies to become more cost efficient.

Chile

After net gains of 100 thousand subs in the quarter we ended March with 5.9 million wireless clients, practically flat compared to the previous year. Fixed RGUs increased 2.0% over the year and we finished the quarter with 1.2 million.

First quarter revenues of 177.4 billion Chilean pesos declined 2.7% in annual terms as a result of a 15.4% drop in wireless voice revenues linked to mobile termination rate cuts. Data revenues were up 16.9% in the fixed platform and 8.9% in the wireless one. Altogether fixed line revenues expanded 17.7% to 69.9 billion Chilean pesos; they represent 37.4% of revenues.

EBITDA of 10.9 billion Chilean pesos was down 2.4% and the EBITDA margin stood at 6.1% of revenues.

We are expanding the reach of our 4G-LTE network which is today available in the most important cities in the country.

Colombia

We had 35.3 million access lines in Colombia at the end of March of which 29.8 million were wireless subscribers, up 2.1% relative to the prior year, and 5.5 million were fixed RGUs, 10.9% greater than those of the year-earlier quarter.

Our revenues rose 3.0% year-on-year to 2.9 trillion Colombian pesos, with fixed-line revenues expanding 13.9% —they now account for 22.3% of the total—and wireless revenues nearly flat at 0.9%. Mobile data and PayTV were the main drivers of revenue growth, with 17.8% and 16.1% respectively, followed by fixed broadband at 12.2% and fixed voice revenues at 7.7%. Mobile voice revenues continued their downward trend.

EBITDA of 1.1 trillion Colombian pesos was nearly flat year-on-year, while the EBITDA margin was slightly down, to 39.3% of revenues from 40.1% the prior year.

We continue to increase the coverage of our 4G-LTE network which already processes an important portion of our data traffic.

Ecuador

Our wireless subscriber base was down 13.5% year-on-year to 10.5 million at the end of March after disconnecting 1.3 million subscribers in the quarter that were not generating traffic. Our postpaid subscriber base was up 1.7% on the year. On the fixed line platform we had 357 thousand RGUs, 10.6% more than a year before.

At 410 million dollars first quarter revenues were down 3.5% from a year before, mostly as a result of a 6.4% fall in wireless voice revenues brought about by a sharp decline in the average price per minute of voice, which plummeted 19.3%. The reduction in the average price per minute of voice helped bring about a 29% increase in MOUs, which reached its peak level ever: 195 minutes per user per month. Fixed line revenues increased 5.6% from a year before.

EBITDA of 175 million dollars was 11.4% lower than that of the year-earlier quarter. This reduction is partly linked to an increase in overall subscriber acquisition costs in a market that has become more competitive.

Peru

At the end of the quarter, we had 12.4 million wireless subscribers, 3.0% more than in the same period of the prior year, with our postpaid base rising 8.5%. We disconnected 108 thousand clients in the period that were not generating traffic. On the fixed-line platform, our RGUs increased 15.2% to 1.3 million.

Our revenues rose 7.3% annually to 1.4 billion soles. On the wireless platform, voice revenues increased 4.0% and data revenues expanded 12.1%. Albeit from a small base, fixed voice revenues expanded 11.8% year-on-year and now account for 14.0% of our revenues.

EBITDA came down 17.1% from a year before to 399 million soles as the result of higher subscriber acquisition and retention costs, in a more competitive environment.

Central America and the Caribbean

Our operations in the Central America-Caribbean block finished March with 26.5 million access lines including 19.5 million wireless subscribers and 7.1 million fixed RGUs. We added in the quarter 400 thousand wireless subscribers and 132 thousand new RGUs.

First quarter revenues of 997 million dollars were 2.7% higher than in the year-earlier quarter. At constant exchange rates service revenues were up 3.8% mostly buoyed by data revenues that increased 11.1% on the wireless platform and 6.1% on the fixed, and PayTV revenues that expanded 15.1%. Wireless voice revenues came in 1.2% above those of the prior year and fixed voice revenues continued their declining trend.

The period’s EBITDA was 316 million dollars, slightly below that of the precedent year, with an EBITDA margin that stood at 31.7% of revenues. The annual comparison is affected by an adjustment in Puerto Rico’s EBITDA in 1Q14 linked to our pension obligations, in absence of which our EBITDA would have risen around 13%.

United States

We finished March with 25.7 million clients following a clean-up of our subscriber base that led us to disconnect 318 thousand subscribers mostly from our Lifeline program.

Revenues climbed 9.5% to 1.8 billion dollars in the period, with service revenues rising 7.3%. ARPU of 20 dollars was up 4.0% in annual terms.

Our EBITDA was slightly down, 1.9%, to 214 million dollars. The reduction in EBITDA is linked to the launch of our new brand TotalWireless. The EBITDA margin was equivalent to 11.8% of revenues.
