T. ESPAÑA

Continued pressure in fixed line, more rational FBB market

Organic growth: In financial terms, it assumes constant average exchange rates as of January-June 2010, and excludes changes in the perimeter of consolidation and hyperinflation accounting in Venezuela. Therefore, in January-June 2010 the consolidation of Vivo, HanseNet and Tuenti are included whereas the results of Manx Telecom are excluded. In OIBDA terms, in January-June 2011 the positive impact from the partial reduction of our economic exposure to Portugal Telecom is excluded, along with the impact of the capital gain from the sale of Manx Telecom booked in the second quarter of 2010. Results from the Costa Rica operation are excluded from the organic growth calculation. Telefónica's Capex excludes the Real Estate Efficiency Programme at T. España, the real estate commitments associated with Telefónica's new headquarters in Barcelona and investments in spectrum. In terms of accesses, changes in the consolidation perimeter are excluded and in terms of organic net adds customer disconnections made in the second quarter of 2010 are excluded. 2011 Financial results and accesses include from the second quarter of the year and retroactively from January 1st, 2011,the full consolidation of TVA, company that was already part of Telefónica's perimeter since the fourth quarter of 2007.
