Highlights

2nd Quarter 2007

 

 

 

 

Consolidated Income Statements

Revenues: In the second quarter, consolidated revenues increased 1.9% compared with the same period of the previous year, reaching 45.693 billion pesos, mainly due to the increase of 12.2% in Internet revenues, 30.9% in interconnection revenues related to revenues from domestic and international calling party pays service, and 52.9% in other revenues, comprised primarily of Tiendas TELMEX (TELMEX stores) and Yellow Pages. On the other hand, local service revenues, domestic long distance and international long distance revenues decreased 2.7%, 8.1% and 8.6%, respectively.

Costs and expenses: In the second quarter, costs and expenses increased 1.5% compared with the same period of 2006, totaling 32.989 billion pesos. Major factors in those results were the increase in interconnection expenses in Mexico from domestic and international calling party pays and higher costs related to computer sales and the integration of cable TV companies in Colombia. These effects were partially offset by initiatives that were carried out to optimize resource use.

EBITDA (1) and operating income: Consolidated EBITDA (1) totaled 18.848 billion pesos in the second quarter, a decrease of 1.7% compared with the same period of 2006. The EBITDA margin was 41.2%. Consolidated operating income totaled 12.704 billion pesos, 2.9% higher than the second quarter of 2006 producing a margin of 27.8%.

Other revenues and expenses: In the second quarter, revenues for 1.938 billion pesos were recognized mainly comprised of the non-recurring recognition of revenues for 1.475 billion pesos as a result of the favorable resolution obtained by the company in Mexico, regarding the deduction of Employee Profit Sharing paid in 2004 and 2005.

Comprehensive financing result: Comprehensive financing cost produced a charge of 2.055 billion pesos in the quarter. This resulted from: i) net interest expense of 1.400 billion pesos, reflecting an increase in the level of debt from a year earlier and a change in the market value of 14.160 billion pesos of interest rate swaps, ii) a net exchange loss of 431 million pesos from the second-quarter exchange rate appreciation of 0.26 pesos per dollar, as well as for the effect related to 6.709 billion dollars in dollar-peso hedges (weighted average exchange rate: 11.0162 pesos per dollar) and 1.003 billion dollars in dollar-reais hedges (weighted average exchange rate: 2.0793 reais per dollar), and iii) a loss in the monetary position of 224 million pesos.

Majority net income: Majority net income in the second quarter totaled 8.044 billion pesos, 16.4% higher than the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share were 41 Mexican cents, an increase of 24.2% compared with the same period of the previous year, and earnings per ADR were 75 US cents, an increase of 27.1% compared with the same period of 2006.

Investments: In the quarter, consolidated capital expenditures (capex) was the equivalent of 376 million dollars, of which 78.8% was used for growth projects in the voice, data and transport infrastructure, 19.7% for operational support projects and operating needs, and 1.5% for social telephony.

Debt: Gross total debt at June 30 was the equivalent of 10.497 billion dollars, an increase of 2.599 billion dollars from a year ago. Consolidated net debt (3) decreased in the quarter the equivalent of approximately 99 million dollars, totaling 7.547 billion dollars.

Repurchase of shares: In the first half, the company used 7.703 billion pesos to repurchase its own shares. Of that total, 2.196 billion pesos were applied during the second quarter to repurchase 108,957,500 shares

(3) Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

 

Mexico Operating Results

Lines in service

At the end of the second quarter, there was a loss of 82 thousand lines mainly due to more competition in the most attractive segments of the market, as well as to the non-recurring deactivation of 40 thousand trunks related to Internet dial-up services that migrated to broadband services. At June 30, there were 18.2 million lines in service.

Local traffic

During the second quarter, local traffic decreased 6.0% compared with the same period in 2006, with a total of 6.295 billion local calls. Local traffic volume is still affected by competition from local and wireless telephony and by the migration of our switched traffic to corporate networks, a trend that strengthens the data business although it adversely affects local traffic. Also affecting local traffic results is the migration of dial-up Internet services to Infinitum broadband services (ADSL).

Long distance traffic

Domestic long distance (DLD) traffic increased 2.2% compared with the second quarter of 2006, totaling 4.599 billion minutes, mainly due to the introduction of packages that provide incentives for usage but at the same time reduce revenue per unit and for the integration of domestic calling party pays service in November 2006, which reached 616 million minutes in the quarter.

In the quarter, outgoing international long distance (ILD) traffic was at a level similar to last year's second quarter, totaling 474 million minutes. ILD incoming long distance traffic including international calling party pays traffic, increased 10.7% compared with the same period of the previous year, totaling 1.971 billion minutes. The incoming-outgoing ratio was 4.2.

Interconnection

In the second quarter, interconnection traffic increased 19.1% compared with the second quarter of the previous year, totaling 11.373 billion minutes. Calling party pays traffic increased 67.8% as a result of incorporating traffic from domestic and international calling party pays. If this effect were eliminated, local calling party pays traffic shows an increase of 8.6%, as a result of mobile telephony growth. In the second quarter, traffic from local and international operators, as well as traffic generated by cellular companies that is terminated in TELMEX's network increased 4.0% and 22.3%, respectively, compared with the same period of the previous year.

Internet and Corporate networks

In Mexico during the second quarter, we added 139 thousand Internet services, including the migration of 46 thousand dial-up Internet services. As a result, 81% of Internet access accounts are broadband Infinitum.

TELMEX introduced a computer sales program to the market with desktops that can be acquired in monthly installments starting at 173 pesos (plus VAT) over a period of 36 months without the obligation of acquiring Internet access. This initiative seeks to provide more homes with computer equipment. To date, TELMEX has made it possible for customers to buy more than 1.3 million PC's.

Billed line equivalents for data transmission increased 16.1% compared with last year's second quarter, bringing the total to 2.5 million line equivalents of 64 Kbps.

Mexico Financial Results

Revenues: In the second quarter, revenues from the operations in Mexico totaled 32.325 billion pesos, an increase of 1.6% compared with the same period of the previous year. Revenues from Internet access services and Interconnection increased 6.6% and 35.3%, respectively. Interconnection revenues increased due to domestic and international calling party pays services. Other revenues increased 31.4% mainly due to higher sales in Tiendas TELMEX (TELMEX Stores) and to the Yellow Pages business. The increase in revenues partially offset the reduction in real terms of local and long distance prices.

Costs and expenses: In the second quarter, total costs and expenses were 21.261 billion pesos, an increase of 1.6% compared with the second quarter of 2006. This increase was mainly due to higher interconnection costs (domestic and international calling party pays) and higher costs of telephone handsets and equipment for customers. If costs from domestic and international calling party pays were eliminated, costs and expenses would have decreased 4.9% as a result of cost control initiatives, as well as lower depreciation and amortization charges.

 

EBITDA (1) and operating income: EBITDA (1) totaled 15.510 billion pesos in the second quarter, a decrease of 2.0% compared with the same period of last year. The EBITDA margin was 48.0%. Operating income totaled 11.064 billion pesos, 1.6% higher than the second quarter of 2006, and the operating margin was 34.2%.

Investments: In Mexico, total capital expenditures (capex) were 226 million dollars, of which 80% was used for growth and modernization projects for the voice, data and transport infrastructure, 17.4% for operational support projects and operating needs, and 2.6% for social telephony.

Debt: At June 30, total debt was the equivalent of 9.060 billion dollars, an increase of 2.062 billion dollars compared with last year's second quarter. Net debt (3) in Mexico increased the equivalent of 611 million dollars to a total of 6.670 billion dollars compared with the second quarter of 2006.

(3) Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

 

International Operations Results

The following financial information is presented in the local currency of each country, according to that country's generally accepted accounting principles, before eliminating inter-company operations among companies of the TELMEX Group.

Brazil

Our operations in Brazil show the evolution of a company focused on long distance to an integrated telecommunications company. This evolution has resulted in long distance revenues decreasing from 65% of total revenues in 2004 to 54% in 2007. As a result of this strategy, local access voice services and line equivalents for data in the quarter had increases of 30.1% and 31.2%, respectively compared with the same period of 2006.

At June 30, the company provided Net Fone (triple play services) through Net Serviços to 354 thousand customers. This service represents an important growth opportunity since currently Net Serviços network covers approximately 8.9 million households. In addition more than 62% of its network is bi-directional and serves 2.3 million cable TV users, as well as 1.1 million broadband customers.

Revenues: In the second quarter, revenues totaled 2.1 billion reais, 3.0% higher than the same quarter of the previous year. Higher revenues were mainly due to the 34.8% increase in local service revenues that offset the 5.4% decrease in domestic long distance revenues.

  • Local: In the second quarter, local revenues reached 303 million reais, 34.8% higher than the same period of 2006 due to the 30.1% increase in local lines in service.

  • Domestic long distance: Domestic long distance revenues totaled 993 million reais, 5.4% lower than the second quarter of 2006. The average revenue per domestic long distance minute decreased 3.6% and for traffic 1.9%.

  • International long distance: In the quarter, international long distance revenues totaled 122 million reais, 4.5% higher than the same period of 2006, since the average revenue per long distance minute increased 5.6% compared with the same period of the previous year.

Corporate networks and Internet: Revenues generated by data service and Internet access totaled 576 million reais, at a level similar to the second quarter of 2006. The increase in services helped offset the reduction of unit prices resulting from the price decrease trend in this market.

Costs and expenses: Costs and expenses were 1.839 billion reais in the quarter, an increase of 1.0%, mainly due to higher personnel expenses and higher costs of telephone handsets related to growth in local services.

EBITDA (1) and operating income: EBITDA (1) totaled 539 million reais in the second quarter an increase of 5.2% compared with the same period of the previous year, with a margin of 25.7%. Operating income totaled 377 million reais in the quarter, an increase of 67.1% compared with the same period of 2006. The operating margin was 18.0%

Investments: In Brazil, total capital expenditures (capex) were the equivalent of 210 million dollars, of which 29.9% was used for growth projects for the local service infrastructure, 36% for growth of the data platform and 30.2% for transport projects.

 

Colombia

In Colombia, efforts in the voice and data businesses have been focused on consolidating the corporate and SME segments. Those initiatives are reflected in the increase of 72.3% in line equivalents compared with last year's second quarter. This growth has been offset by more competition in this segment, which has decreased the revenue per line equivalent 12.4%.

In the cable TV business, we are in the process of integrating the operations of the recently acquired companies. Through these companies' integrated network, we currently cover more than 2 million homes. During 2007 and 2008, investments will be focused on updating the infrastructure to modernize the network and offer double and triple play services and to expand our coverage.

In Colombia, revenues totaled 119.933 billion Colombian pesos in the second quarter, 178.6% higher than the same period of 2006. Higher revenues were mainly due to the integration of sites for several corporate customers and the integration of the cable TV companies, which contributed 74 billion Colombian pesos to second-quarter results.

Costs and expenses increased 231.8%, totaling 104.862 billion Colombian pesos, mainly due to the incorporation of the cable companies, which accounted for 67 billion Colombian pesos, and to higher personnel expenses to serve the small and medium-sized market. Operating income totaled 15.071 billion Colombian pesos compared with operating income of 11.448 billion Colombian pesos in the year-ago second quarter, an increase of 31.6%, mainly due to the integration of the cable companies. The operating margin was 12.6%. EBITDA (1) totaled 35.972 billion Colombian pesos with a margin of 30%, compared with EBITDA (1) of 19.412 billion Colombian pesos in the same period of the previous year.

Argentina

In Argentina, we launched products and services over the PreWimax platform in the 3.3 GHz frequency in 26 cities that represent more than 65 percent of the economic activity of this country. Currently, we have 8,148 multi-service packages (voice services and broadband Internet access).

In the quarter, revenues from the operations in Argentina totaled 92.2 million Argentinean pesos, an increase of 7.8% compared with the same period of the previous year, due to increases in revenues in the corporate and Internet businesses and local services of 20.7% and 56.4%, respectively, offset by the decrease in interconnection revenues with other operators.

Operating costs and expenses totaled 91.2 million Argentinean pesos in the quarter, an increase of 1.8% due to the decline in transport and interconnection costs, offset by higher network maintenance costs due to growth in local services. In the quarter, EBITDA (1) totaled 17.6 million Argentinean pesos, an increase of 128.6% compared with the same period of 2006 with a margin of 19.1%. Operating income reached 1.0 million Argentinean pesos in the quarter compared with a loss of 4.1 million Argentinean pesos in the same period of the previous year.

Chile

In March, we launched products and services over the WiMax platform in the 3.5 GHz frequency. To date, we have coverage in 20 cities and we expect to have the possibility to serve more than 90% of the population at year-end 2007. Currently, we are adding approximately 136 customers per day with multi-service packages (voice services and broadband Internet access) reaching 5,043 customers at the end of the quarter.

Revenues from the operations in Chile reached 17.364 billion Chilean pesos, 1.2% more than the second quarter of 2006. Revenues from corporate networks, Internet access and local services increased 16.0%, 6.3%, and 51.9%, respectively, compared with the second quarter of 2006. The Chilean long distance market continues to decrease due to the migration to mobile services and private networks, which caused a decline in long distance revenues of 8.1% compared with the second quarter of the previous year.

Costs and expenses totaled 19.015 billion Chilean pesos, an increase of 13.5% compared with the same period of the previous year. Costs of sales and services increased 29.7% due to higher network maintenance costs related to growth in local services. Commercial, administrative and general expenses increased 14.9% due to higher personnel and advertising expenses for the launch of the new multi-service packages over the WiMax platform. In the quarter, there was an operating loss of 1.651 billion Chilean pesos compared with operating income of 410 million Chilean pesos in the same period of the previous year. EBITDA (1) totaled 2.088 billion Chilean pesos, producing a margin 12.0%.

Peru

In the cable TV business, through the acquired network, we cover 262 thousand households, representing a growth opportunity in the double and triple play market. Additionally, we will continue to promote our X-plor@ product that is focused on the SME segment with multi-service packages (voice services and broadband Internet access).

In the second quarter, revenues totaled 62.1 million New Soles, 16.9% higher than the same period of the previous year. The data business, which represents 35% of total revenues, increased 30.4%. Voice business revenues were at the same level as the same period of 2006 due to the 9.1% increase in local revenues, offset by the decrease in long distance revenues due to more competition.

In the second quarter, costs and expenses increased 27.7% due to the increase of 13.7% in transport and interconnection costs and to the increase of 52.3% in commercial, administrative and general expenses due to higher personnel expenses and to the integration of the cable TV companies. The operating loss in the quarter was 2.9 million New Soles compared with operating income of 2.2 million New Soles in the second quarter of 2006. EBITDA (1) totaled 12.0 million New Soles, 18.9% lower than the same period of 2006, with a margin of 19.3%.
