Mexico City, October 16 th , 2018 - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX, AMOV], announced today its financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2018.

Relevant Events

On September 17th, América Móvil delivered 224,695,844 KPN shares, equivalent to 5% of the total shares outstanding, following the maturity of a mandatory exchangeable Bond with a nominal amount outstanding of 750 million euros. This represented the sale of those shares at an effective price per share of 3.3374 euros.

On September 6th, we called a hybrid bond due 2073 with an aggregate principal amount of 900 million euros at a redemption price equal to 100% of its face value. Notwithstanding this redemption America Movil believes that hybrid bonds constitute an integral part of its capital base.

América Móvil Consolidated Results

The continued expansion of the U.S. economy through the summer, with strong job creation even in the face of historically high levels of employment, ended up pushing 10 year U.S. Treasury yields decisively above 3%, bringing about a new bout of dollar strength that affected emerging markets in general, including several of the currencies in the region where we operate, more importantly in Argentina and Brazil. This effect was partially offset by the reduced political uncertainty in some countries with their currencies appreciating vs. the U.S. dollar as their presidential elections were left behind (Mexico and Colombia).

Our revenues were just shy of 250 billion Mexican pesos in the third quarter, representing a 2.1% increase from the year-earlier quarter. At constant exchange rates service revenues were up 3.4% year-on-year, their best performance in five quarters, with mobile postpaid revenues leading the way at 8.6%, followed by fixed-broadband revenues at 6.2%.

Service revenues increased practically across the board, with Mexico posting a 4.7% increase and Paraguay and Costa Rica growing 13.0% and 7.9%, respectively. Given the country’s high inflation rate, our Argentina revenues are expanding at a pace in the mid-20s per-cent.

Mobile service revenue growth was strong in Mexico and Brazil at 9.5% and 10.5%, respectively. Mobile ARPUs rose 13% in Brazil, 11% in the U.S. and 8% in Mexico. Overall our data traffic per user rose 78.2% year-on-year doubling in Brazil, Peru and the U.S. and expanding more than 60% in Mexico, Chile, Ecuador and Guatemala. Voice traffic per user increased 8.8%, rising 35% in Ecuador, nearly 20% in Brazil and somewhere in the mid-teens in both Chile and Peru.

On the fixed platform service revenues rose 9.0% in Colombia and 4.8% in both Chile and Ecuador, while they declined in Mexico, Brazil and Guatemala by 4.0%, 3.2% and 5.4%, respectively.

EBITDA came in at 71.8 billion pesos in the quarter and was 7.7% higher than a year before. It represented 28.8% of revenues. The release of certain provisions in Brazil pertaining to Claro having won a legal case disputing the legality of a regime that set taxes on taxes (in this case ICMS on top of PIS-COFINS) explains approximately 1 percentage point of the margin. At constant exchange rates EBITDA was up 13.0% in the quarter; it would have increased 8.6% in the absence of the reserve release mentioned above.

EBITDA margins were up most everywhere, including by 2.0 percentage points in Mexico, 3.7 points in Chile and 1.1 points in Colombia. In Brazil it soared by 6.3 points, most of the expansion—but not all—coming from the release of provisions explained before.

Our operating profits increased 23.4% from the year-earlier quarter to 35.3 billion pesos. After net comprehensive financing income of 3.3 billion pesos—mostly driven by foreign exchange gains but also the release of provisions in Brazil—they resulted in a net profit of 18.6 billion pesos in the third quarter. The net profit was equivalent to 28 peso cents per share or 30 dollar cents per ADR.

Mexico

We added 184 thousand postpaid subscribers and 108 thousand prepaids in the third quarter to finish September with a total of 74.7 million subs, almost 2% more than a year before. Our postpaid base posted a 6.0% year-on-year increase. On the fixed-line platform we had 21.8 million accesses, roughly flat vs. the year-earlier quarter; we had a slight increase in broadband accesses but disconnected 95 thousand fixed-voice lines in the quarter.

Third quarter revenues totaled 71.8 billion pesos and service revenues 53.6 billion pesos. The latter were up 4.7% from the year-earlier quarter, with wireless service revenues—which account for 62% of the total—increasing 9.5%year-on-year.

Mobile prepaid revenues led the way posting a 10.7% increase on the back of data services, with postpaid revenues rising almost 7%. Altogether data consumption per user was up 64% from the year-earlier quarter, while voice traffic per user grew 10%.

On the fixed-line platform service revenues were down 4.0%. Notwithstanding this, fixed broadband revenues held up and were slightly higher than the year before.

Third quarter EBITDA jumped 15.2% to 24.1 billion pesos. It represented a 33.5% EBITDA margin, two percentage points higher than in the year-earlier quarter, aided by greater operating leverage and continued success of various cost-reduction initiatives.

Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay

The Argentinean peso plunged against the US dollar, falling 50% since April, as investor’s concerns about the country’s current account and fiscal deficits were exacerbated by new fears of rising interest rates in the U.S. and their impact on emerging economies. The rapid drop in the currency has given new impetus to inflation. Policy actions taken over the last few months to contain inflation and stop the run on the currency are having a major impact on the real economy, which is expected to observe an important contraction this year.

After net additions of 71 thousand subs in the third quarter, our operations in the region ended September with 24.1 million wireless subscribers, 0.5% more than a year before. Fixed RGUs increased 12.1% to 743 thousand, boosted by broadband accesses that were up 19.5% and PayTV subscriptions that rose 11.3%, although from a small base.

In Argentina, revenues increased 27.8% to 14.9 billion Argentinean pesos with service revenues rising 24.6% on the back of mobile data revenues, up 37.5%. On the fixed-line platform we posted a 62.5% increase in service revenues— they account for 8% of the total—on the back of broadband services and our entry into the PayTV business. In spite of the economic conditions we were able to increase third-quarter EBITDA by 31.6% with a margin equivalent to 37.5% of revenues, 1.1 percentage points higher than that of a year before.

In Paraguay we registered a service increase of 13% in local currency terms with mobile service revenues that were up 13.6% supported by postpaid growth and higher data consumption. We run a solid PayTV business that saw revenues improve by 11.7% over the year. Greater operating leverage and our ability to contain costs enabled an EBITDA jump of 40.6%.

Total revenues in Uruguay came in 5.1% above last year’s in Uruguayan pesos following an increase of 4.2% in mobile service revenues. EBITDA declined 25.9% as a result of higher subscriber acquisition costs linked to the doubling of net additions vis-à-vis the prior year.

Brazil

We added 472 thousand mobile postpaid subscribers in the third quarter, ending September with 22.3 million postpaid subs, 15.2% more than a year before. In the prepaid segment we disconnected 522 thousand subs.

On the fixed-line platform, broadband was the main growth driver with 105 thousand new accesses in the quarter, with our broadband base reaching 9.4 million. Of that figure 3.5 million accesses are in the ultrabroadband segment, and account for more than 50% of the total market. In the PayTV sphere, Net has been expanding its UHD content library following the commercial deployment of 4k.

Total revenues for the quarter came in at 8.9 billion reais, 0.9% higher than a year before, with service revenues growing at the same pace. In the wireless segment, service revenues rose 10.5% with mobile ARPU rising 13.0% driven by our unlimited voice plans, top quality mobile internet and digital services, all of which are perceived as great value by our clients.

In spite of fixed broadband revenues increasing 12.9% over the year, fixed service revenues declined 3.2% overall following a 19.8% contraction in long distance revenues and of 5.8% in PayTV revenues.

Third quarter EBITDA of 3.1 billion reais reflects the result of Claro having won legal proceedings related to a regime that set taxes on taxes (ICMS on top of PIS and Cofins taxes), which was partly offset by negative effects of some contingencies and the write-off of certain operating assets. Adjusting for these non-recurring events the EBITDA margin would have been 29.3%.

Claro is leading number portability in all segments helped by its 4G and 4.5G networks, the fastest in the country. We are moving forward with our convergent solutions, multiplatform content delivery and cloud-based applications, and enhancing our corporate portfolio with new solutions based on our best-in-class technology.

Chile

Fixed RGUs of 1.4 million were up 3.4% from the prior year with broadband and voice lines rising 6.7% and 5.6%, respectively. On the mobile platform our subscriber base of 6.8 million wireless subscribers was down 0.8% year-on-year after disconnections of 168 thousand in the quarter, all prepaid.

Revenues were up 0.4% year over year to 213.5 billion Chilean pesos with service revenues rising 1.8%. On the fixed-line segment service revenues—that represent 39% of the total—increased 4.8% driven by data and managed services, up 12.3%. Growth is mostly stemming from the corporate segment from sales of enterprise services and solutions. The residential division has made important inroads as we have increased the number of homes passed year to date. Broadband revenues rose 3.8% over the year.

On the wireless platform, service revenues declined 0.6% following a contraction of 32% in prepaid revenues in the face of strong competition in what is a highly penetrated market. MOUs were up 14% while data per user jumped 71%.

Third quarter EBITDA, 39.5 billion Chilean pesos, jumped 25.1% year-on-year, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 18.5% from 14.8% last year.

Ecuador

We added 93 thousand wireless subscribers in the quarter to finish September with 8.2 million, 5.2% less than a year before; our postpaid subscriber base rose 3.3% in the period. On the fixed platform we had 378 thousand fixed RGUs, 4.3% more than a year before.

Total revenues of 331 million dollars were up 1.8% year-on-year with equipment revenues rising 26.2% and service revenues declining 1.8%. The drop in service revenues stems mostly from an 11.9% decline in prepaid revenues. ARPU stood at 11 dollars per sub, 4.6% higher than last year with data consumption per client rising 62.4% on average. Our fixed line revenues were up 3.9% over the year to 22 million dollars.

Third quarter EBITDA of 128 million dollars was 2.2% higher than a year before; the EBITDA margin remained practically unchanged at 38.7%.

Peru

We finished September with 12.7 million wireless subscribers, 3.9% more than in 2017 after net additions of 53 thousand in the period. In addition, we had 1.5 million fixed RGUs, representing a 3.7% increase over the prior year.

Total revenues fell 4.4% to 1.3 billion soles with service revenues that were down 6.3%. The decline in mobile service revenues was, to a certain extent, related to an interconnection rate cut that became effective in the first quarter of 2018; in fact the decline in revenues net of interconnection charges was smaller, 2.9%.

The revenue decline reflects very strong competition and changes in our commercial plans that have led to a doubling in the consumption of data services per client. On the fixed platform, service revenues were 1.0% lower than a year before as long distance revenues fell 17.1% and data revenues declined 7.5%.

EBITDA declined 6.5% to 330 million soles reflecting the impact of strong competition. We continued to enforce strict cost control and have made improvements in several line items. The EBITDA margin stood at 25.4%, slightly below, 0.6 percentage points, that of the year-earlier quarter.

Our networks have improved materially and are now the fastest in the country. We have been very focused on enhancing the overall customer experience and this is having a positive impact on mobile number portability.

Total revenues were up 0.5% to 585 million dollars with equipment revenues rising 24% and service revenues falling 1.2%. Wireless service revenues remained practically unchanged vis-à-vis last year at 343 million dollars, but fixed line service revenues dropped 5.0% on the back of a 17.9% decline in fixed voice revenues.

Third quarter EBITDA declined 6.6% over the year to 194 million dollars. The EBITDA margin was equivalent to 33.1% of revenues. Nicaragua weighs on the EBITDA figures since the economic and political conditions in the country have had a negative impact in sales of handsets and service revenues. In Guatemala and Honduras we have faced increases in certain commercial costs that have also pressured EBITDA while in El Salvador and our newer operations in Costa Rica and Panamá are posting solid improvements.

Caribbean

As of September 30th, we had 5.8 million wireless subscribers in the islands, 4.1% more than a year before. In Dominicana, our subscriber base rose 4.3% after adding 63 thousand new clients, almost twice as many as last year while in Puerto Rico the total number of subscribers rose by 2.8%. On fixed, we had 2.6 million RGUs, reflecting the disconnection of 37 thousand fixed units in Puerto Rico.

Total revenues for the Dominican Republic were nearly 12 billion Dominican pesos, up 3.0% year-on-year with service revenues rising at the same pace and equipment revenues expanding 26.4%. On the wireless platform service revenue growth was 4.3% showing improved trends in the prepaid segment were service revenues increased 7.2%, and maintaining growth on postpaid at 3.9% year on year. ARPU was up 0.4% on the back of data usage that increased 350%, making Dominicana one of the top markets in terms of MBOUs per subscriber and the one that experienced the fastest growth over the last year. Prepaid MBOUs increased by almost 9 times.

In Puerto Rico we generated revenues in the amount of 221 million dollars, 12.1% more than a year before, with service revenues that jumped 20.9%; the third quarter of 2017 had been impacted by hurricane Maria. Reported figures show mobile service revenues improving by 40.2% with data revenues that shot up 53.1%. The latter figures captures the growth of fixed-mobile internet services that have made up for the lack of fixed services in certain areas of the island. As regards fixed, service revenues declined 19.9%.

Third quarter EBITDA was 14.4% higher than a year before at 140 million dollars and the EBITDA margin came in at 30.3% of revenues, gaining 2.6 percentage points vis-à-vis the prior year.

Telekom Austria Group

Our operations in Europe had 21.1 million wireless subscribers at the end of September, 1.3% more than a year before, with our postpaid base increasing 4.9% after 247 thousand net additions in the quarter, including 131 thousand new contract clients in Austria, 56 thousand in Belarus, 37 thousand in Serbia and 29 thousand in Croatia. Fixed RGUs rose 2.8% to 6.2 million, with PayTV expanding 12.8% and fixed broadband 2.2%.

Total revenues for the group were 1.1 billion euros, up 1.4% year-on-year with service revenues growing 1.6%. Consolidated figures are affected by a one-time benefit booked in Bulgaria in the third quarter of last year and by the devaluation of the Belarusian ruble; adjusting for these factors revenue growth would have been 2.1%.

In Austria, service revenues increased 1.1%, with more high-value clients, greater adoption of fixed-mobile Wi-Fi routers, and the continued growth of ICT services. Fixed-line service revenues have been an important growth catalyst in Eastern Europe, especially in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Belarus; Serbia also showed solid service revenue growth yet from a growing share of mobile subscribers and Wi-Fi routers.

At 397.8 million euros, consolidated EBITDA (excluding restructuring charges in Austria) was practically flat from the year-earlier quarter. Higher advertising and content costs as well as the investments in A1 digital were offset by lower roaming and network maintenance expenses. In Austria, organic EBITDA growth was 3.9%.
