Cellcom Israel Ltd. (NYSE: CEL TASE: CEL) ("Cellcom Israel" or the "Company" or the "Group"), announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2014. Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 1,142 million ($309 million); EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 346 million1 ($94 million), or 30.3%1 of total revenues for the quarter; and net income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 106 million1 ($29 million). Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 1.06 ($0.29).

Commenting on the results, Nir Sztern, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are in the middle of several important processes for the Group's development as a communications group. The preparations for launching the television over the internet services are in the final stages and we will soon bring new tidings to the TV market. We continue with a rapid deployment of our 4.5G network supporting LTE Advanced technology, which will be able to provide Cellcom Israel's customers a very high speed internet surfing, subject to receiving additional frequencies and regulatory approvals.  These days, our LTE network already operates in wide areas with hundreds of active cell-sites in the framework of the current operating approval, which was given by the Ministry of Communications, allowing our customers a taste of the next generation surfing experience. Completion of the regulation of the wholesale market will be a complementary layer and will allow us to offer a whole and attractive communication package. We are pleased with the results of our focus on equipment sales, which led to an increase of these revenues in the third quarter, compared with both the previous quarter and the third quarter of last year, as well as the results of the efficiency measures we implemented. On the other hand, the aggressive price competition, mainly in the cellular arena, continues, the effects of which are reflected in the decrease in EBITDA excluding a one-time effect, and the continued erosion in service revenues, which is expected to continue in the coming quarters as well."

Shlomi Fruhling, Chief Financial Officer, commented: "In this quarter, EBITDA totaled NIS 346 million, similar to the third quarter of last year, and excluding a one-time positive effect of NIS 44 million, EBITDA for the third quarter this year totaled NIS 302 million, a 13% decrease compared with the third quarter of last year. Most of the decrease resulted from the decrease in the Group's service revenues due to the continued price erosion in the communications market, which is expected to continue in the coming quarters and to adversely affect its results. Furthermore and as previously reported, in the third quarter this year there was a substantial decrease in revenues from hosting operators on the Company's communications networks (which are expected to gradually increase in the coming quarters). On the other hand, an increase in equipment sales and a decrease in operating expenses, resulting from the efficiency measures, somewhat mitigated these effects.

"In the third quarter this year, we generated a free cash flow of NIS 303 million and we continue to significantly strengthen the Company's balance sheet, as we decreased the Company's net debt by approximately NIS 720 million from the beginning of the year, to a level of NIS 3.1 billion.

"The Company's Board of Directors decided not to distribute a dividend for the third quarter of 2014, given the continued intensified competition in the market and its adverse effect on the Company's revenues and in order to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet. The Board of Directors will re-evaluate its decision as market conditions develop, and taking into consideration the Company's needs."

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 6.7% totaling NIS 1,142 million ($309 million), compared to NIS 1,224 million ($331 million) in the third quarter last year. The decrease in revenues is attributed to a 13.1% decrease in service revenues, which totaled NIS 880 million ($238 million) in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to NIS 1,013 million ($274 million) in the third quarter last year. This decrease was partially offset by a 24.2% increase in equipment revenues, which totaled NIS 262 million ($71 million) in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to NIS 211 million ($57 million) in the third quarter of 2013. Netvision's contribution to revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 212 million ($57 million) (excluding inter-company revenues) compared to NIS 230 million ($62 million) in the third quarter of 2013.

The decrease in third quarter 2014 service revenues resulted mainly from a decrease in cellular services revenues, due to the ongoing erosion in the price of these services as a result of the intensified competition in the cellular market. The decrease in service revenues also resulted from a decrease in revenues from internet services and long distance calls services due to intensified competition, a decrease in revenues from roaming services, as well as a decrease in revenues from hosting operators on the Company's communications networks. Netvision's contribution to service revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 200 million ($54 million) (excluding inter-company revenues) compared to NIS 224 million ($61 million) in the third quarter of 2013.

The increase in third quarter 2014 equipment revenues resulted mainly from an approximately 24% increase in the number of smartphones sold during the third quarter of 2014 as compared with the third quarter of 2013, as well as an approximately 8% increase in the average sale price of cellular handsets in the third quarter of 2014 as compared with the third quarter last year. Netvision's contribution to equipment revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 12 million ($3 million), compared to NIS 6 million ($2 million) in the third quarter of 2013.

Cost of revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 660 million ($178 million), compared to NIS 745 million ($202 million) in the third quarter of 2013, an 11.4% decrease. This decrease resulted mainly from a decrease in interconnect expenses, mainly due to a reduction in the interconnect tariffs, a decrease in payroll expenses and other expenses due to the efficiency measures implemented by the Company, as well as a one-time reduction of a provision for cell-sites rent expenses in the amount of NIS 44 million ($12 million) in the third quarter of 2014. These effects were partially offset by an increase in the cost of equipment sold, as a result of the increase in the number of smartphones sold during the third quarter of 2014 as compared with the third quarter of 2013.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 482 million ($131 million), compared to NIS 479 million ($130 million) in the third quarter of 2013, a 0.6% increase. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2014 amounted to 42.2%, up from 39.1% in the third quarter of 2013. The gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 includes the one-time positive effect of NIS 44 million ($12 million) described above. Excluding this one-time effect, gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 438 million ($119 million), an 8.6% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2013.

Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A Expenses") for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 4.9% to NIS 289 million ($78 million), compared to NIS 304 million ($82 million) in the third quarter of 2013. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses and doubtful accounts expenses, as well as the efficiency measures implemented by the Company, which led to a decrease in payroll expenses, rent and other expenses. The decrease in SG&A expenses was partially offset by an increase in sales commissions, as a result of an increase in the number of sales transactions, and an increase in advertising expenses.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2014 increased by 9.8% to NIS 190 million ($52 million) from NIS 173 million ($47 million) in the third quarter of 2013. Operating income for the third quarter of 2014 includes the one-time positive effect of NIS 44 million ($12 million) described above. Excluding this one-time effect, operating income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 146 million ($40 million), a 15.6% decrease compared with the third quarter of 2013.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 0.3% totaling NIS 346 million ($94 million), compared to NIS 347 million ($94 million) in the third quarter of 2013. EBITDA for the third quarter 2014, as a percent of third quarter revenues, totaled 30.3%, up from 28.3% in the third quarter of 2013. Excluding the one-time effect described above, EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 302 million ($82 million), a 13.0% decrease compared with the third quarter of 2013. EBITDA for the third quarter 2014, as a percent of third quarter revenues, excluding the one-time effect totaled 26.4%, down from 28.3% in the third quarter of 2013. Netvision's contribution to the EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 78 million ($21 million), compared to NIS 61 million ($17 million) in the third quarter of 2013, a 27.9% increase.

Financing expenses, net for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 44.6% and totaled NIS 51 million ($14 million), compared to NIS 92 million ($25 million) in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease resulted mainly from a decrease in interest expenses, associated with the Company's debentures, due to a decrease of approximately NIS 800 million ($217 million) in the Company's debt level compared with the third quarter of 2013, and a decrease in Israeli Consumer Price Index (CPI) linkage expenses, associated with the Company's debentures, due to a lower inflation rate in the third quarter of 2014 compared with the third quarter of 2013, and due to a reduction in the level of the Company's CPI-linked debt.

Taxes on income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 33 million ($9 million), compared to NIS 29 million ($8 million) in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in taxes on income is mainly attributed to the increase in profit before taxes on income, which was partially offset by a one-time deferred tax expense, net, in the amount of NIS 7 million ($2 million), which was recorded in the third quarter of last year.

Net Income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 106 million ($29 million), compared to NIS 52 million ($14 million) in the third quarter of 2013, a 103.8% increase. This increase was the result of a reduction in operating expenses, mainly due to the efficiency measures implemented by the Company, the one-time reduction of the provision for cell-site rent expenses and a decrease in financing expenses, net. The increase in net income was offset in part by the erosion in service revenues resulting from the continued intensified competition in the cellular and landline communications market. Excluding the one-time effect, net income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 74 million ($20 million), a 42.3% increase compared with the third quarter of 2013.

Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 1.06 ($0.29), compared to NIS 0.53 ($0.14) in the third quarter of last year.

OPERATING REVIEW (data refers to cellular subscribers only)

Cellular subscriber base – at the end of September 2014 the Company had approximately 3.010 million cellular subscribers. During the third quarter of 2014 the Company's cellular subscriber base decreased by approximately 19,000 net cellular subscribers, all of them pre-paid subscribers. Following a technical billing modification to some of our M2M subscribers, charged to a single account, we now look at data usage in addition to revenue generation for M2M subscribers count, which remained unchanged.

Cellular Churn Rate for the third quarter of 2014 totaled 11.0%, compared to 8.9% in the third quarter of 2013. The cellular churn rate was primarily affected by the intensified competition in the cellular market.

The monthly cellular Average Revenue per User ("ARPU") for the third quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 70.6 ($19.1), compared to NIS 79.6 ($21.5) in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in ARPU resulted, among others, from the ongoing erosion in the price of cellular services, due to the intensified competition in the cellular market, as well as from the decrease in revenues from hosting operators on the Company's communications networks.

FINANCING AND INVESTMENT REVIEW

Cash Flow

Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2014, decreased 22.1% to NIS 303 million ($82 million), compared to NIS 389 million ($105 million) in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly due to a decrease in proceeds from customers following the decrease in revenues in the third quarter of 2014 compared with the third quarter of 2013, resulting from the intensified competition in the cellular market, and an increase in payments for capital expenditure. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in payroll and other operating expenses mainly due to the efficiency measures implemented by the Company.

Total Equity

Total Equity as of September 30, 2014 amounted to NIS 1,035 million ($280 million), primarily consisting of accumulated undistributed retained earnings of the Company.

Investment in Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company invested NIS 123 million ($33 million) in fixed assets and intangible assets (including, among others, rights of use of communication lines and investments in information systems and software), compared to NIS 68 million ($18 million) in the third quarter of 2013. This increase is mainly attributed to investment in the 4G network (LTE) during the third quarter of 2014.

Dividend

On November 11, 2014, the Company's board of directors decided not to declare a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2014. In making its decision, the board of directors considered the Company's dividend policy and business status and decided not to distribute a dividend at this time, given the intensified competition and its adverse effect on the Company's revenues, and in order to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. The board of directors will re-evaluate its decision in future quarters. No future dividend declaration is guaranteed and is subject to the Company's board of directors' sole discretion, as detailed in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013 on Form 20-F, under "Item 8 - Financial Information – A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information - Dividend Policy".

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2014 AND SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

Network Sharing

In September 2014, following the previously reported network sharing agreements and the Israeli Ministry of Communications, or the MOC, requirements regarding network sharing, the Company entered the following agreements:

Updated agreements with Golan Telecom Ltd., or Golan

The parties' existing 2G and 3G IRU agreement and 4G network sharing agreement were updated, generally for a period of at least 10 years; and include stipulations as to ownership and mutual IRU in the 4G radio equipment as well as the establishment of a Joint Venture for the joint operation of the 4G radio network. The agreements, as updated, are subject to regulatory approvals.  

As previously reported, the Company expects - if these agreements will be approved - its revenues from Golan to be at annual levels similar to those in 2013 and 2014, for the duration of the agreements term.

Passive infrastructure cooperation agreement with Pelephone Communications Ltd., or Pelephone

The Company and Pelephone entered a co-operation agreement regarding maintenance services for passive elements of cell sites, including unifying passive elements and streamlining costs, through a common contractor. The contractor to be selected by RFP process will enter a separate agreement with each of the company and Pelephone, generally for a period of at least 5 years. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals. The Company expects, if this agreement is approved and if the Company and Pelephone enter agreements with such contractor, that the co-operation will gradually produce substantial savings in the Company's expenses for rental and maintenance of cell sites, for the duration of the agreements' term.

For additional details see the Company's most recent annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013 on Form 20-F, filed on March 6, 2014, or the Company's 2013 annual report, under "Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business – We face intense competition in all aspects of our business" and "Item 4. Information on The Company – B. Business Overview – Network and Technology - Network and Cell Sites Sharing Agreements", the Company's immediate report regarding the Company's results for the first quarter of 2014 on Form 6-K dated May 14, 2014 under "Other developments during the first quarter of 2014 and subsequent to the end of the reporting period - Network Sharing Agreements", and the Company's immediate report regarding the Company's results of operation in the second quarter of 2014 on form 6-K dated August 11, 2014, under "Other developments during the second quarter of 2014 and subsequent to the end of the reporting period— 4 Generation Network and Network Sharing".

4 Generation Network and frequencies 

In November 2014, the Company submitted its basic offer to the 4G frequencies tender. The basic offer includes the information and documents required by the MOC as a prerequisite to participating in the tender process. Prior to that, the MOC has mostly retracted the previously proposed more severe coverage and quality requirements for the 4G network (such requirements are still under review in relation to the 2G and 3G networks and the Company has submitted its objection to such proposed changes).

For additional details see the Company's 2013 annual report under "Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business – We face intense competition in all aspects of our business", "- We may be adversely affected by significant technological and other changes in the cellular communications industry; network sharing agreements, if approved, may have material adverse effects on our business" and "Item 4. Information on The Company – B. Business Overview – Network and Technology - Network and Technology", and the company's immediate report regarding the Company's results for the second quarter of 2014 on Form 6-K dated August 11, 2014 under "Other developments during the second quarter of 2014 and subsequent to the end of the reporting period - 4 Generation Network and Network Sharing".

Network Malfunction

In November 6, 2014, the Company suffered a network malfunction that impaired part of the Company's (as well as other operators receiving hosting services from the Company) subscribers' ability to fully utilize cellular services. The Company has since resumed full service.

Regulation 

In August 2014, the MOC published a hearing regarding roaming services provided to subscribers. The hearing proposes, in order to increase competition and reduce roaming payments by subscribers, among others, to allow other Israeli telecommunication operators, including other cellular operators, mobile virtual network operators, international calls operators and landline operators to offer roaming services to a cellular subscriber of another cellular operator, while abroad, using the subscriber's usual cellular number as well as change the way payments for roaming services are calculated, such as by requiring a 1 second unit or 1 KB unit (as applicable) for billing of roaming services while abroad and not charging for certain intervals of the call. The Company estimates that some of the proposed changes, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, but at this time cannot estimate which of the proposed changes will be adopted, if any. The company submitted its objection to some of the proposed changes.

Also, in August 2014, the MOC published a hearing regarding call centers services provided to subscribers of Israeli telecommunications operators. The hearing proposes, in order to improve the quality of call centers services, to, among others, set new or more severe criteria to such service, including with regards to response time and manner. In addition, the MOC proposes to amend the Israeli Communications Law and set fixed compensation in case of failure to meet the response time proposed, as well as a fixed compensation in case a subscriber was wrongfully overcharged (more severe than the existing provision to that effect in the Israeli Consumer Protection Law). The Company estimates that the proposed changes, if adopted as proposed, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. The Company submitted its objection to the proposed changes.

For additional details see the Company's 2013 annual report under "Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business – We operate in a heavily regulated industry, which can harm our results of operations. In recent years, regulation in Israel has materially adversely affected our results" and "– We face intense competition in all aspects of our business" and under "Item 4. Information on The Company – B. Business Overview – Government Regulations – Our principal license".

Outstanding Share Capital

In August 2014, employees and members of senior management of the Company sold an aggregate of 933,348 shares of the Company, constituting approximately 0.93% of the Company's issued share capital, to financial institutions. The shares had been issued by the Company to such employees and senior management upon their exercise of vested options granted by the Company under its 2006 Share Incentive Plan. The Company understood that the purchasers intend to place such shares for sale outside the United States to non-US investors.

The shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.  Accordingly, the shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933).

Operating Results – Overview – 2006 Share Incentive Plan" and under "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - E. Share Ownership – 2006 Share Incentive Plan".

Changes in Board of Directors

In September 2014, following the previously reported board composition requirements set by the Israeli law for the promotion of competition and the mitigation of concentration, in regards to reporting corporations that are third layer and up in a pyramid structure, such as the Company, (in effect during a transition period ending no later than December 2019) and in order to meet such requirements, Messrs. Rafi Bisker, Haim Gavrieli, Raanan Cohen and Edith Lusky resigned from their office as members of the Company's board of directors, effective September 21, 2014.

Discount Investment Corporation Ltd., or DIC, the Company's controlling shareholder, designated Mr. Ami Erel, the Company's chairman of the board of directors, as its appointee, effective September 21, 2014, replacing Mr. Raanan Cohen. Mr. Erel's appointment is in accordance with the requirement of the Company's telecommunications license and articles of association that at least 20% of the Company directors shall be appointed by Israeli citizens and residents from among the Company's founding shareholders, as defined in the Company's license and articles of association, namely DIC.

Following such changes the Company's board of directors meets the said composition requirements.

Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform its prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Unless noted specifically otherwise, the dollar denominated figures were converted to US$ using a convenience translation based on the New Israeli Shekel (NIS)/US$ exchange rate of NIS 3.695 = US$ 1 as published by the Bank of Israel for September 30, 2014.

Use of non-IFRS financial measures

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as income before financing income (expenses), net; other income (expenses), net; income tax; depreciation and amortization and share based payments. This is an accepted measure in the communications industry. The Company presents this measure as an additional performance measure as the Company believes that it enables us to compare operating performance between periods and companies, net of any potential differences which may result from differences in capital structure, taxes, age of fixed assets and related depreciation expenses. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements, or other commitments, including capital expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company's use. In addition, EBITDA as presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, due to differences in the way these measures are calculated. See the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA under "Reconciliation for Non-IFRS Measures" below.

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as the net cash provided by operating activities minus the net cash used in investing activities excluding short-term investment in tradable debentures and deposits and proceeds from sales of such debentures (including interest received in relation to such debentures) and deposits. See "Reconciliation for Non-IFRS Measures" below.
