In the first quarter of 2013, the Group focused its efforts on the TD terminal sale and enhanced its marketing. With the continued consolidation of its customer base, the Group has maintained steady development momentum. The average monthly net additional customers for the first quarter exceeded 5.30 million and the Group’s total customers reached 726 million as at 31 March 2013. With the rapid growth of 3G customers, the number of 3G customers reached 114 million. As the number of low usage customers increased, the scenario of “one customer with multiple SIM cards” became more and more popular and the Group had continued to steadily promote tariff adjustment, ARPU continued to decline during the relevant reporting period. Despite the intensive challenges faced by the traditional business, in order to minimize the adverse impact on the operating revenue caused by the decline in the traditional businesses, the Group actively promoted its voice business and made efforts to develop potential growth in voice business. Total voice usage for the first quarter of 2013 increased by 3.9% compared to the same period of last year. In addition, the Group actively promoted the healthy development of its data business. The favourable growth of data business, particularly the wireless data traffic business, played an important role in maintaining steady growth of the Group’s operating revenue and the Group’s sustainable development. The wireless data traffic in the first quarter of 2013 increased by 1.6 times compared to the same period of last year. Key businesses, such as Mobile Mailbox, Mobile Reading and Mobile Video, have maintained a favourable growth momentum. The Group will continue to uphold its principles of forward-looking planning, effective resource allocation, rational investment and refined management in cost-resource allocation in order to achieve a low-cost, highly efficient operation, consolidate and improve its core competitiveness, achieve a balanced relationship between its short-term operating results and its long-term development, and maintain a sound capability in creating value.

Facing both challenges and opportunities, the Group will leverage its existing advantages and core competitiveness in order to promote strategic transformation, innovation development, and strengthen relationships with existing customers, data traffic operation and development of corporate informationalization. The Group will make efforts in maintaining its stable business development and leading position in the industry in terms of operating results and thereby, continuously create value for its shareholders.

The Board wishes to remind investors that the above key performance indicators are based on the Group’s unaudited management accounts. Investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such data.
