AMÉRICA MÓVIL’S FOURTH QUARTER OF 2013
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REPORT
Mexico City, February 11, 2014 - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX] [NASDAQ: AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL], announced today its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2013.
• In the fourth quarter América Móvil added 4.8 million wireless clients and 1.2 million RGUs to finish December with 339 million accesses, 4.2% more than a year before. This figure includes 270 million wireless subscribers and 69 million RGUs. Year-on-year, accesses of our fixed-line division increased 8.2% whereas our wireless subscriber base rose 3.2%.
• We added 1.3 million new wireless subscribers in Brazil, one million in Mexico, 616 thousand in the U.S. and 614 thousand in Colombia. In relative terms, our fastest-growing operations were those in Central America.
• America Movil fourth quarter revenues were up 3.1% from the year-earlier quarter to 204 billion pesos. At constant exchange rates total revenues increased 7.8%, with service revenues rising 5.4%. Mobile data and PayTV continued to be the main drivers of revenue growth, with 18.8% and 21.8%, respectively, at constant exchange rates.
• EBITDA had its strongest showing in several quarters. At 63.5 billion pesos the quarter’s EBITDA was up 5.7% at constant exchange rates (1.4% in peso terms). It represented a margin of 31.1% of revenues. Operating profits totaled 37.2 billion pesos, after depreciation and amortization charges that remained flat in peso terms from the year before.
• We registered a comprehensive financing charge of 17.8 billion pesos that included a foreign exchange loss of 10.2 billion pesos, mostly on account of the appreciation during the quarter of the euro vis-à-vis the Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar, as well as of certain local-currencies against each other, and in particular, the real vs the peso. Altogether we generated a net profit of 17.2 billion pesos in the fourth quarter, that was 15.7% higher than that of the same period of 2012. Earnings per share were equivalent to 24.2 Mexican peso cents, having risen from 19.5 peso cents a year before.
• Our net debt ended the year at 442 billion pesos—equivalent to 1.7 times EBITDA—having increased from 372 billion where it stood a year before. Our net borrowings helped fund outlays totaling 244 billion pesos, including capital expenditures in the amount of 130 billion pesos; distributions to our shareholders (share buy-backs and dividends) of 86.5 billion pesos; the acquisition of interests in various companies totaling 15.4 billion pesos; and the contribution of 12.9 billion pesos to our pension funds.

América Móvil Consolidated Results
The fourth quarter saw signs of a firming-up of economic activity in the U.S. and of what may be an incipient recovery of the domestic market in Mexico, with the FED’s decision in December to begin to taper its purchases of long-term securities seen by the market as confirmation of the underlying strength of the U.S. economy.
Our fourth quarter revenues rose 3.1% from the year-earlier quarter, to reach 204 billion pesos. At constant exchange rates total revenues were up 7.8% and service revenues 5.4%. Leading the way were PayTV sales that increased 21.8% from the year before, followed by mobile data revenues at 18.9%. Those coming from fixed-voice posted their smallest decline in more than a year, falling 3.0%, while the ones stemming from fixed-data continued to hover close to a 10% growth rate.
At 7.8% year-on-year, at constant exchange rates, service revenue growth in the South American block remained strong—although it moderated somewhat from the prior quarter mostly on account of the deceleration that has taken place in Colombia—and remained stable, at 4.1% in Central America and the Caribbean. In Mexico it picked up from -2.1% in the third quarter to -0.6% in the fourth, possibly reflecting the beginning of an economic recovery in the country.
Fourth quarter EBITDA came in at 63.5 billion pesos. In peso terms it was up 1.4% from the prior year but at constant exchange rates it rose 5.7%. As for operating profits, with depreciation and amortization charges roughly flat year-on-year, they increased 2.3% in peso terms and 5.8% at constant exchange rates.
The strong EBITDA performance came about in spite of a significant increase in the cost of equipment compared to the prior year. At 15.4% it outpaced by almost 4 times the rate of increase of total costs and expenses, reflecting mostly the increased participation of smartphones in the sale of devices.
Our comprehensive financing cost reached 17.8 billion pesos, resulting from a net interest expense on our debt of 6.6 billion pesos; other financial expenses—including commissions on financial services, interest on unfunded pension obligations and the net impact of financial derivatives—in the amount of 1.0 billion pesos; and a foreign exchange loss of 10.2 billion pesos. The latter amount arose from the impact on our net debt and payables position of the depreciation of various local currencies versus the dollar and the euro, but also of certain local-currencies against each other, and in particular, the real vs the peso.

Our net profit for the quarter came in at 17.2 billion pesos. It was 15.7% higher than in the year-earlier quarter and represented earnings per share of 24 Mexican peso cents or 37 U.S. dollar cents per ADR. Earnings per share were up 23.7% from a year before, partly reflecting the impact of our share buybacks.

We ended December with 64.1 million prepaid subscribers, 3.8% more than in 2012. We gained 1.0 million new subscribers in the fourth quarter, of which nearly 20% were postpaid clients. Our market share of the postpaid segment is estimated to be approximately 55%.
Buoyed somewhat by what might be an incipient recovery in Mexico our revenues increased 2.3% in the quarter. Although service revenues declined slightly from the prior year, -0.3%, improvements were seen in some areas. Fixed-voice revenues were down 5.2% year-on-year, their best showing in several quarters, while wireless-voice revenues, although also down, recovered 2.1 percentage points from the pace observed the prior quarter and data revenues, in the aggregate, remained steady. Altogether, wireless revenues rose 4.2% and fixed-line revenues 1.1%.
Our EBITDA declined 3.6% from the year before to 29.7 billion pesos; it represented 41.5% of revenues. The rate of decline was lower than in the prior quarter even though the cost of equipment rose over twice as rapidly as the rest of the costs and expenses, due to the increased importance of smartphones in our sales.
Telcel’s network excels in technology and is widely known for its superior coverage, as there are several rural areas where competitors have not invested and where Telcel is the only telecom services provider.
On December 5th, we announced that we received a notice from the Federal Telecommunications Institute (Ifetel). We have provided Ifetel a thorough response from a technical, economical and legal basis to all aspects it raised and expect a final resolution by March 9, 2014.

Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay
With wireless net additions of 268 thousand in the fourth quarter and 960 thousand in the full year—86.7% more than in 2012—we finished December with 22.2 million subscribers, 4.5% more than a year before. We also had 548 thousand RGUs, 25.3% more than a year before, making it the fastest growth pace among our operations mainly due to the growth of the PayTV business in Paraguay.
The quarter’ revenues increased 26.3% year-on-year to 4.9 billion Argentinean pesos with wireless revenues rising 25.9% and fixed-line revenues 30.1%, albeit from a much smaller base. Wireless service revenues grew 14.4% as wireless data revenues expanded 23.7% contributing to the 13% increase in ARPU relative to the prior year.
EBITDA for the quarter was 1.6 billion Argentinean pesos, up 21.5% compared with the precedent year. The quarter’s EBITDA margin stood at 31.6% of revenues.
We have maintained a positive balance from mobile number portability in both Argentina and Paraguay.
On January 16th the Argentinean Central Bank withdrew from the foreign exchange market to allow the peso to float freely. The value of the peso vis-a-vis the dollar fell from 6.93 pesos to the dollar to 8.25 pesos, which represented a 19% depreciation of the peso. Since then, the peso has recovered somewhat, and as of February 11th the value of the dollar stands at 7.81 pesos.

Brazil
We closed 2013 with 101.4 million accesses in Brazil, 8.1% more than at the end of the prior year. Wireless subscribers account for 68.7 million and the RGUs on our fixed platform for 32.7 million, of which 11.2 million are fixed lines, 6.7 million are fixed-broadband accesses and 14.8 million PayTV clients. On the wireless platform the growth of our postpaid base, 9.6% year-on-year, helped drive a 5.3% increase on our overall wireless subscriber base. On the fixed-line platform PayTV accesses led the way with a 17.9% increase over the year-earlier quarter, with fixed-broadband accesses following closely with a 16.3% increase.
Fourth quarter revenues climbed 10.9% from the prior year—the best figure posted in more than a year—with both wireless and wire-line revenues jumping 12% (before eliminating intercompany transactions). Fixed-voice revenues were practically flat relative to the same period of 2012, which represents their best performance in various quarters. PayTV revenues continued to surge ahead maintaining a 22% pace of growth, followed by mobile data revenues that expanded at a rate slightly below 20%. Altogether, service revenues were up 8.5% year-on-year.
EBITDA soared 29.3% from the year before to 2.2 billion reais even after allowing for a 54.6% increase in equipment costs. The jump in EBITDA partly stems from a reduction in certain costs associated to the integration of the companies and partly arises from the fact that in the fourth quarter of 2012 we had come up with some extraordinary charges associated with advertisements.

Colombia
We finished December with 33.7 million accesses in Colombia of which almost 29 million are wireless subscribers. We added 614 thousand new subs in the fourth quarter, 50% more than last year. Our postpaid subscriber base increased 6.8% year-on-year, with 18.5% of the quarter’s net adds being postpaid.
On the fixed-line platform we ended 2013 with 4.7 million RGUs, 13.2% more than in the year-earlier quarter. We have made important inroads in fixed-voice and broadband and these accesses have increased approximately 22% on an annual basis. Our market share of fixed-line voice is 18.1% and 31.1% in broadband.
The quarter’s revenues were 2.9 trillion Colombian pesos 7.9% more than in the same period of the prior year. Wireless service revenues were flat year-on-year reflecting among other things the 70% decline in the incoming interconnection rate whereas fixed-line revenues increased 12.2%. Altogether service revenues were up 2.4% as the reductions in mobile voice revenues brought about by the marked decrease in interconnection charges was more than offset by strong fixed-data and PayTV revenue growth: 14.4% and 10.1% respectively.
Our EBITDA of 1.2 trillion Colombian pesos in the fourth quarter was slightly down, 0.9%, from the year before, leading to a reduction of the EBITDA margin to 41.3%. The decline in margin mostly results from the jump in the cost of equipment, 43.8%, as there was a substantial increase in the number of smartphones and tablets sold in the period.
Having the greatest coverage and the best 4G-LTE network, we continue to benefit from mobile number portability.

Chile
Our wireless subscriber base ended December with 5.9 million subscribers, down 3.7% compared with year-end 2012 as a result of a clean-up of subscribers that were not generating traffic. Nonetheless, our postpaid subscriber base rose 11.9% over the year, adding 46 thousand new clients in the fourth quarter. RGUs totaled 1.2 million accesses, 9.0% more than a year before, with broadband and PayTV being the main drivers.
Revenues of 210.1 billion Chilean pesos were up 3.3% compared with the year-earlier quarter. Wireless service revenues rose 8.1% year-over-year on the back of wireless data that rose 30.8%, whereas wire-line revenues, at 58.6 billion Chilean pesos were 12.4% higher than last year’s.
In the fourth quarter EBITDA declined 28.3% to 2.7 billion Chilean pesos or 1.3% of revenues. Most of the decline in margin is attributed to greater costs of links that will improve once we begin operations of our submarine cable.
In the fourth quarter we completed the construction of our data center, whose top-of-the-line technology is the best in the country. We have started to provide services to important enterprises in Chile.

Ecuador
Our wireless subscriber base topped 12 million clients in the fourth quarter, which represents a 2.3% increase over the prior year. Our postpaid sub base rose 13.2%. On the fixed-line platform RGUs were up 25.3% year-on-year to 311 thousand accesses. The growth came, for the most part, from PayTV.
Our fourth quarter revenues totaled 441 million dollars and were 8.2% higher than in the prior year. Wireless service revenues grew 9.1% led by data revenues that rose 25.7%; the latter now represent 38.5% of service revenues. Fixed-line revenues increased 16.2% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.
Fourth quarter EBITDA of 188 million dollars was up 2.9% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin was equivalent to 42.6% of revenues, 2.1 percentage points lower than a year before.
We continued to benefit from mobile number portability; the coverage, quality and reliability of our networks have granted us the preference of consumers.
On February 10, we were notified that the Superintendencia de Control del Poder del Mercado (Superintendent of Market Control) had imposed a fine of 138.4 million dollars for alleged anticompetitive practices related to five properties —out of more than a thousand leased by Claro— in which Claro would have exclusive rights to deploy its network according to the contract. Claro called said fine “unjustified and disproportionate” and it would seek to challenge it in court.

Peru
After adding 361 thousand clients in the quarter, we finished December with 11.9 million subscribers. On the postpaid segment, our base was up 29.0% year-over-year to 3.5 million clients having added 187 thousand in the period. We had one million fixed RGUs in December, 18.3% more than a year before, after 51 thousand net RGU additions in the quarter, almost half of which were voice lines.
Our revenues of 1.3 billion soles in the fourth quarter were 9.4% higher than those of a year before. Wireless service revenues were up 7.6%, boosted by data revenues that expanded 27.0% over the year. The surge of data helped bring about an increase in ARPU of 17.2% on an annual basis. Fixed-line revenues of 159 million soles were 27.6% higher than those of the prior year, with voice and broadband being the most important drivers or revenue growth.
Altogether, data revenues remained firm in the mobile and fixed platforms, with increases of 27.0% and 21.8% respectively, and PayTV revenues accelerated to a solid 21.6% growth rate.
Fourth quarter EBITDA of 470 million soles declined 13.5% compared with the last quarter of 2012. The EBITDA margin came in at 36.0% of revenues. The decline in EBITDA was mainly due to subscriber acquisition costs; as we scaled up our sales of smartphones, equipment costs soared 64.7%.
In 2013, the number of ported lines increased by 27% compared with 2012. Claro continues to be the leader in mobile number portability, having gained 52.4% of the ported lines of the market.
