América Móvils second quarter of 2022 financial and operating report
July 12 th , 2022 / 2Q22
Mexico City - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (América Móvil) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX, AMOV], announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2022.
3.1M wireless net additions and 186k new broadband accesses
We ended June with 306 million wireless subscribers after incorporating 12.9 million subscribers from the acquisition of Oi. Organically, we gained 1.8 million mobile postpaid subscribers and 1.3 million prepaid clients. Our postpaid and prepaid base increased 12.5% and 8.9% year-on-year, respectively.
Fixed-broadband is still the main driver on the fixed-line platform; we connected 186 thousand new broadband accesses, including 92 thousand in Argentina, 36 thousand in Eastern Europe and approximately 20 thousand in each Central America and Mexico.
Service revenue +4.9% YoY at constant exchange rates
Revenue of 217 billion pesos was up 3.3% in Mexican peso terms, with net service revenue expanding 4.5%. At constant exchange rates, the latter expanded 4.9%.
Mobile service revenue +8.5% YoY and broadband revenue + 3.3% YoY
Mobile service revenue expanded 8.5% at constant exchange rates, which reflects the impact of the consolidation of some of Ois clients and revenue from May 1st. Correcting for this effect, mobile service revenue would have increased 7.4%, compared to the 6.3% growth rate observed in the prior quarter.
Service revenue on the fixed-line platform declined 0.5% year-on-year at constant exchange rates. Broadband revenue was up 3.3% whereas corporate network revenue growth increased to 8.9% from 4.9% the prior quarter. The decline in PayTV revenue moderated somewhat to 5.3%, mostly on account of improvements in Brazil.
EBITDA +4.2% YoY at constant exchange rates
Second quarter EBITDA totaled 82.7 billion pesos, a 4.0% increase in nominal peso terms and 4.2% at constant exchange rates, with the EBITDA margin rising 0.2 percentage points to 38.0%.
Net income of MxP 14Bn
Our operating profit of 41.0 billion pesos in the quarter, resulted in a net income of 13.7 billion pesos, after comprehensive financing costs of 18.1 billion pesos of which approximately half were net interest payments.
CapEx of MxP 66Bn and shareholder distributions of MxP 16Bn
Our operating cash flow allowed us to cover our capital expenditures in the amount of 65.6 billion pesos. We raised 43.8 billion pesos year-to-date which helped us fund 19.6 billion pesos for the purchase of Oi and a price adjustment related to the sale of Tracfone; as well as 11.6 billion pesos in labor obligations. Shareholder distributions totaled 16.3 billion pesos, all in the form of share buybacks.
Net debt to EBITDAaL at 1.36x
Our net debt ended June at 414.7 billion pesos. Under IAS17 our net debt to LTM EBITDA ratio stood at 1.36x.
We will host our conference call to discuss 2Q22 financial and operating results on July 13th at 9:00 am Mexico City time. To access the call please log on to www.americamovil.com/investors

América Móvil Consolidated Results
The trend towards higher interest rates in the U.S. dollar market that began in March continued unabated in the second quarter as inflation fears dominated sentiment, with both short and long-term interest rates rising. By the second week of June long term rates peaked and began a downward trend as markets shifted their focus towards the negative impact on economic activity that would be derived from substantially higher short term interest rates. By the end of the quarter the dollar had appreciated vis-à-vis all major currencies in our region of operations, including the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real, the Colombian peso and the euro.
Our revenue reached 217.4 billion pesos in the quarter, 3.3% more than in the year-earlier quarter in Mexican peso terms, with net service revenue expanding 4.5%. At constant exchange rates the latter increased 4.9% (excluding Argentina given its high inflation rates). The difference between the two has to do with the nominal revenue reflecting the increased value in Mexican peso terms of the sales revenue in dollar-based operations and in those countries whose exchange rates are roughly pegged to the dollar.
Mobile service revenue expanded 8.5% at constant exchange rates, which reflects the impact of the consolidation of some of Ois clients and revenue from May 1st. Correcting for this effect, mobile service revenue would have expanded 7.4%, compared to the 6.3% growth rate observed the prior quarter. With 20.1% mobile service revenue growth13.7% without OiBrazil was our top performer, as our Eastern European operations posted 9.6% growth, Mexico 8.8%, Peru 7.5%, Dominican Republic 6.9% and Austria 6.2%. Prepaid and postpaid revenue growth accelerated in the second quarter to 8.7% and 8.4%, respectively.
Service revenue on the fixed-line platform was almost flat, declining 0.5% year-on-year; the prior quarter it had come down by 1.1%. Our Eastern European operations continued to be the leaders in revenue growth in this segment, at 11.8%, followed by the Dominican Republic at 5.8%. Mexico and Brazil both experienced -2.5% revenue reductions, smaller than the ones registered in the first quarter. Broadband revenue was up 3.3%a similar pace to that of the first quarterwhereas corporate network revenue growth increased to 8.9% from 4.9% in the prior quarter. The decline in PayTV revenue moderated somewhat, to -5.3%, mostly on account of improvements in Brazil.
Second quarter EBITDA totaled 82.7 billion pesos, a 4.0% increase in nominal terms and 4.2% at constant exchange rates, with the EBITDA margin rising 0.2 percentage points to 38.0%. EBITDA expanded 10.3% in our Eastern European operations, 8.8% in Brazil, 8.6% in the Dominican Republic and 5.2% in Mexico.
Our operating profit of 41.0 billion pesos in the quarter resulted in a net income of 13.7 billion pesos after comprehensive financing costs of 18.1 billion pesos of which approximately half were net interest payments.
Throughout the first half of the year, our operating cash flow, which already reflects our working capital requirements, fully covered our capital expenditures in the amount of 65.6 billion pesos. We raised 43.8 billion pesos in net financing in the period that helped us fund 19.6 billion pesos for the purchase of Oi and a price adjustment related to the sale of TracFone; and 11.6 billion pesos in labor obligations. Shareholder distributions of 16.3 billion pesos in share buybacks were partly funded by 3.2 billion pesos in dividend income from our KPN and Verizon stakes. Given the high seasonality of our working capital requirements we foresee a reduction in the second half of the year.
Our net debt excluding leases stood at 414.7 billion pesos at the end of June, a 7.1 billion increase relative to December. It was equivalent to 1.36 times net debt to LTM EBITDA. Approximately 55 billion pesos in debt obligations will be transferred to Sitios Latinoamérica upon its spin-off from América Móvil to take place in the third quarter.

374k mobile net adds
We added 374 thousand subscribers in the second quarter, including 22 thousand postpaids to end June with 81.4 million wireless clients, 3.3% more than a year before. On the fixed-line platform RGUs were off 1.3% year-on-year after disconnecting 105 thousand land-lines. Fixed-broadband accesses rose by 20 thousand units.
Mobile service revenue +8.8%
Our Mexican revenue totaled 76.8 billion pesos, 2.1% more than a year before, with service revenue expanding 4.9%, roughly in line with the pace registered the prior quarter. Mobile service revenue rose 8.8% helped along by a 10.4% increase in prepaid revenue, with postpaid revenue accelerating to a 6.6% pace. Postpaid ARPUs increased 7.2% and prepaid ARPUs 5.9% from the year-earlier quarter.
Broadband revenue +3.5% YoY
Fixed-line service revenue was down 2.5%, slightly less than in the prior quarter. This decline was fully driven by a reduction in voice revenue, which has become more rapid, -9.5% in the second quarter compared to -7.6% the prior one. Broadband revenue has accelerated somewhat, to 3.5%, from 3.1% in the first quarter. Corporate networks revenue was flat year-on-year, 0.1%, whereas they had declined 5.3% the precedent quarter.
EBITDA margin at 40.3% of revenue
EBITDA of 31.0 billion pesos was up 5.2% year-on-year, in line with the pace of the first quarter. It represented 40.3% of revenue, 1.2 percentage points more than a year before.
5G coverage in 40 cities
We have continued with the roll-out of our 5G network, reaching 40 cities with 56 million pops at the end of June. The deployment of 5G networks enables us to expand capacity more efficiently and enhances customer experience with greater speed and quality.

222k wireless net adds
After adding 222 thousand new clients in the second quarter, almost all postpaid, our wireless subscriber base finished June with 8.3 million wireless subscribers. On the fixed-line platform we had nearly three million RGUs, including 1.3 million broadband accesses and 302 thousand PayTV units.
Mobile service revenue +6.2% YoY
Revenue increased 1.5% over the year to 676 million euros in the second quarter. Service revenue was up 2.1%from 1.3% in the first quarterwith mobile revenue rising 6.2%. We saw a strong performance in both the postpaid and the prepaid segments, at 6.3% and 5.4%, respectively. We have experienced strong demand for mobile WiFi and have benefited from a resurgence of roaming revenue and certain inflation-linked price adjustments. Fixed-line service revenue fell 0.8% on account of a contraction in retail fixed-line revenue stemming from disconnections of voice and low-bandwidth RGUs as well as from lower interconnection revenues.
EBITDA 3.7% YoY
EBITDA after restructuring charges was up 3.7% as service revenue growth exceeded the cost increases derived from energy and other commercial expenses. The margin for the quarter stood at 38.2% of revenue, 0.8 percentage points above last years.
