Telefónica Deutschland prepares for IPO

Listing on Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange planned in 2012

Strong track record of attractive growth and cash flow generation by capitalizing on demand for mobile data services

First half 2012 operating results and cash flow generation highlight continued growth

Cash dividend payable in 2013 targeted to be around 500 million

MUNICH. Telefónica Deutschland Holding AG is preparing its initial public offering. The company aims to list its shares on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 2012. Telefónica S.A. will remain the majority shareholder of Telefónica Deutschland.

The rise of Telefónica Deutschland is based on the successful implementation of our data services strategy, our strong brand portfolio and a very high customer satisfaction. Moreover, we operate in Germany, which is one of the strongest economies in Europe and one of the largest telecommunications markets in Europe, says René Schuster, CEO of Telefónica Deutschland. We are convinced that an IPO will enable us to raise our profile further, and to continue the successful growth story of Telefónica Deutschland in Germany in the long term.

Business Highlights

Telefónica Deutschland is the fastest-growing integrated telecoms network operator and the third largest telecommunications services provider in Germany based on 2011 revenue, serving approximately 25 million customer accesses as of June 30, 2012.

Telefónica Deutschland operates in Germany, one of the strongest economies in Europe. It offers an attractive customer proposition through its powerful brand portfolio, innovative data solutions, converged offers and strong distribution channels. The company aims to drive growth through leveraging its existing assets to outperform the market and increase revenue market share in the mobile market.

Note: The financial information of Telefónica Deutschland appearing in this press release is based on the combined financial statements of Telefónica Deutschland prepared for the purposes of the IPO.

Telefónica Deutschland Holding AG Georg-Brauchle-Ring 23-25 80992 München Deutschland Sitz in München. Amtsgericht München HRB 201055. Vorstand: René Schuster, Vorsitzender. Rachel Empey. Markus Haas. Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Jose María Álvarez-Pallete Lopez

Press release

Its strong revenue growth over recent years, as well as its internal efficiency enhancement initiatives, have enabled Telefónica Deutschland to significantly increase cash flow. The company aims to keep improving OIBDA margins on the back of scale effects and efficiency improvements.

Therefore, the company intends to propose to the General Shareholders Meeting to be held in 2013 a cash dividend for the year ending December 31, 2012, of approximately 500 million, payable in 2013 and intends to increase the amount of dividends to be distributed in future years.

Strong position to enhance further growth

With its strong multi-brand portfolio, especially the core premium O2 brand, and high levels of customer satisfaction, Telefónica Deutschland operates as an innovative challenger in Germany. The company aims to increase its mobile market share by further leveraging its portfolio.

It also intends to monetize further the opportunity of increasing consumption of data services. Telefónica Deutschlands early focus on data through innovative tariff solutions, smartphone shipments, and the development of converged offerings has translated into proven monetization of growth in data traffic. In the first half year of 2012, more than 90 percent of devices sold by Telefónica Deutschland have been smartphones. Moreover, the recent investment in LTE or 4G (the next generation mobile technology standard) spectrum, as well as in innovative product offerings and further digital services, are intended to further leverage this opportunity. In terms of investments, the company sees 2013 and 2014 as key years for its LTE rollout; however, it does not expect capital expenditures to exceed the levels reached in 2010 when 3G capacity was rolled out. Thereafter the company expects capital expenditures to decline to lower levels again.

Press release

A trend emerging in the German telecommunications market is a strengthening demand for converged offerings for fixed and mobile services. Therefore, the company intends to expand its convergence strategy to increase its share of the customer wallet and to build stronger customer relations and, as a result, reduce churn. Other elements of the companys growth strategy are new business fields such as mobile security solutions, financial services and machine-to-machine communication.

Strong Financial Profile

In 2011, Telefónica Deutschland recorded revenues of 5 billion and an operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) of 1.1 billion, corresponding to year-on-year increases in revenue of 4 percent and 5 percent in OIBDA, excluding restructuring costs in 2010.

This steady growth has continued during the first half of 2012. In this period, revenues reached 2.6 billion and OIBDA 597 million, corresponding to year-on-year increases in revenue and OIBDA of 5 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

As of September 30, 2012, Telefónica Deutschlands net financial debt was approximately 1.1 billion. Over the medium term, Telefónica Deutschland targets a leverage ratio (Net debt/OIBDA) of below 1.0.

Our results in the first half of 2012 prove our healthy growth, says Rachel Empey, CFO of Telefónica Deutschland. We intend to drive profitable growth and efficiency resulting in enhanced cash flow generation.
