AMÉRICA MÓVIL’S THIRD QUARTER OF 2013
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REPORT
Mexico City, October 24, 2013 - 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 third quarter of 2013.
• We added 3.1 million subs in the third quarter to finish September with 265 million wireless subs, with our postpaid base rising 11.3% from the year-earlier quarter to 41.5 million. Brazil obtained 960 thousand new subscribers—twice as many as in the third quarter of last year—whereas in Colombia we added 559 thousand subs and in both Mexico and Central America slightly less than 500 thousand.
• On the fixed-line platform we gained 1.4 million RGUs in the third quarter—including 698 thousand PayTV units, 470 thousand broadband accesses and 256 thousand fixed lines—to finish September with 68.3 million, 8.6% more than a year before. Nearly three quarters of our net RGU additions, 1.1 million, came from Brazil.
• Revenues totaled 194.2 billion pesos in the quarter. They were up 0.7% year-on-year in peso terms but at constant exchange rates they increased 7.5% from the year-earlier quarter. The South American block’s service revenues rose 8.9%—the best performance in six quarters—and those of Central America and The Caribbean 4.9%. In Mexico, however, the weak state of economic activity led to a 2.1% decline in service revenues.
• Mobile data and PayTV continued to be our more dynamic business lines, with revenues expanding at a rate of 22.4% and 21.7% respectively, whereas fixed-data revenues were up nearly 10%. Voice revenues were down on both the mobile and the fixed-line platforms by the same measure.
• Third quarter EBITDA totaled 63.3 billion pesos and was down 5.8% on an annual basis; at constant exchange rates, it remained roughly flat (-0.5%). The EBITDA margin declined to 32.6% compared from 34.8% the year before. Depreciation and amortization charges remained at 13% of revenues.
• After comprehensive financing costs of 10.8 billion pesos—which included a foreign exchange loss of 2.9 billion pesos, compared to a foreign exchange gain of 9.0 billion pesos a year earlier—we obtained a net profit of 16.4 billion pesos in the quarter. It was equivalent to 0.23 pesos per share or 0.35 dollar cents per ADR.
• Our net debt stood at 440 billion pesos at the end of September, having increased 68.0 billion pesos from December. It was equivalent to 1.66 times EBITDA (LTM). It helped us cover capital outlays and shareholder distributions in the amount of 174 billion pesos, including capital expenditures totaling 78.7 billion pesos, acquisitions of 16.5 billion—including our share of the rights issue by KPN—share buybacks in the amount of 58.3 billion and dividend payments of 7.9 billion. In addition, we contributed 12.5 billion pesos to the funding of pension liabilities.

Relevant Events
On August 9th, we announced our intention to make a voluntary tender offer for all outstanding shares of KPN at an offer price of EUR 2.40 per share subject to the condition that we receive sufficient shares for our ownership interest in the company to reach at least 50% plus one share. The announcement came after initial conversations with KPN representatives and was followed by negotiations with the company with the objective of reaching an integral agreement that considered, among other topics, the strategic direction of the company, employment, national security, social policies, social plans, minority shareholder protection and corporate governance.
On August 29th, the independent KPN Foundation exercised its option to purchase class B preferred shares totaling 50% of all outstanding shares.
On October 16th, we received approval from the Dutch authorities (AFM) to proceed with the offer. However, with the Foundation still holding 50% of the shares it would have been impossible to satisfy the condition that we had set for the Intended Offer. Thus we announced that whereas the necessary authorizations had been received and no further approvals were needed in The Netherlands for us to proceed, we would not be able to complete the transaction because of the continued permanence of the Foundation.

On September 6, 2013, we issued three hybrid Notes for the equivalent of 2.8 billion dollars due 2073 in three tranches. One is for 900 million euros and carries a coupon of 5.125%, and two others—for 550 million euros and 550 million pounds—pay a 6.375% coupon. Given the structure of the hybrid notes and their maturity dates, the rating agencies give them equity credit for 50% of the principal amount.
On September 12, 2013, we issued Floating Rate Notes in the amount of 750 million dollars due 2016. Interest on the notes is 3 month LIBOR plus 1.0%.
Total Accesses
We finished September with 333.4 million accesses, 4.6% more than a year before. This figure comprises 265.1 million wireless subscribers, 31.0 million landlines, 18.8 million broadband accesses and 18.5 million PayTV units. The latter lines increased 17.4% on an annual basis followed by broadband accesses that rose 11.9%.
Wireless Subscribers
We had 265.1 million wireless subscribers at the end of September, 3.6% more than a year before after 3.1 million net additions in the quarter. Brazil gained 960 thousand new clients, twice as many as in the third quarter of last year, whereas in Colombia we added 559 thousand subs. In both Mexico and Central America, net adds were just shy of 500 thousand subs. Argentina obtained 406 thousand additions, Peru 283 thousand and Ecuador 187 thousand.
Our postpaid subscriber base was up 11.3% year on year after adding 780 thousand new subs, a fourth of the period’s net additions. Brazil showed a good improvement: at 164 thousand subs, postpaid net additions increased 135.6% relative to the precedent year. Mexico and Peru added around 190 thousand postpaid clients each while Colombia gained 82 thousand and Ecuador 61 thousand.
At the end of the quarter, we had 72.5 million subscribers in Mexico, 67.4 million in Brazil, 28.4 million in Colombia, 23 million in the US and 20.6 million in Argentina. In Central America, our subscriber base grew at a rate of 14.5%, the fastest among our operations, and ended September with 16.6 million clients.
Year-to-date, we have been net gainers of ported lines in every country with Mobile Number Portability with the exception of Puerto Rico. The number of port-in lines has actually accelerated in several of our operations as we continue to outperform in coverage, quality and technology.

América Móvil Consolidated Results
The purported strength of the U.S. economy in the third quarter—which had led the FED to call for the tapering of its purchases of long term securities—seemed very much at odds with the state of the Mexican economy, that appears to have grown weaker throughout the year on account of a certain shortfall in government expenditures relative to plan; problems in certain sectors, including housing; and an apparent lack of liquidity throughout the economy that is constraining private sector spending. In South America, notwithstanding the recent drops in commodity prices, economic activity appeared to be recovering.
4
Our revenues totaled 194.2 billion pesos in the quarter and 582.0 billion pesos through September; they were nearly flat relative to the prior year (+0.7% and 0.9% respectively). At constant exchange rates, third quarter total revenues were up 7.5% from the year-earlier quarter, with the South American block’s revenues growing 8.9%—the fastest pace in 6 quarters—and those of Central America and The Caribbean holding steady at 4.9% year-on-year. In Mexico, service revenues decreased 2.1% in the quarter, overturning the 1.0% rise seen in the second quarter. For the most part, the decline seen in Mexico is attributed to the weak state of the economy.
Mobile data and PayTV continued to be the more dynamic business lines, with revenues rising 22.4% and 21.7%, respectively, at constant exchange rates, followed by fixed-broadband, whose revenues grew 10.2% year-on-year. Both mobile and fixed-line voice revenues were off by 2.2% and 4.6%, respectively.

Third quarter EBITDA came in at 63.3 billion pesos, bringing to 192.2 billion pesos the year’s total through September. These figures were down 5.8% and 4.9%, respectively from the year before, with the EBITDA margin at 32.6% down from 34.8% in the third quarter of 2012. At constant exchange rates, EBITDA was down 0.5% from the year-earlier quarter. Depreciation and amortization charges remained flat relative to revenues (13.1%), leading to an operating profit in the third quarter of 37.8 billion pesos.
Our comprehensive financing cost stood at 10.8 billion pesos, which includes a foreign exchange loss of 2.9 billion pesos. All in all, we obtained a net profit on 16.4 billion pesos in the quarter and 57.4 billion pesos in the year through September. It was equivalent to 0.23 pesos per share or 0.35 dollar cents per ADR. Our net profit was affected by our share in the losses of KPN, which ended up lowering our net income by 1.2 billion pesos.

Mexico
Our wireless subscriber base ended September at 72.5 million clients, 3.0% higher than at the beginning of the year, having obtained 499 thousand net subscriber additions in the quarter, 186 thousand of which were postpaid. On the fixed-line platform, RGUs totaled 22.4 million, 1.1% less than in December. Year-to-date, we have gained 2.1 million wireless clients and 401 thousand fixed-broadband accesses, but have lost 650 thousand fixed lines.
Third quarter revenues were slightly down (-0.3%) year–on-year, to 68.2 billion pesos, on account of the weakness of the Mexican economy, as service revenues declined 1.4% from the year-earlier quarter. Mobile revenues were up 0.9% and fixed line revenues down 0.7%, with data revenues increasing and voice revenues falling on both platforms.
EBITDA stood at slightly under 30 billion pesos and was down 5.7% from the prior year. In the nine months to September, it totaled 91.2 billion pesos, a 2.0% reduction year-on-year. Our operating profits represented 34.8% of revenues.

Brazil
After adding 1.1 million fixed-lines RGUs in the third quarter, we ended September with 31.9 million RGUs, 11.5% more than at the end of 2012. We also had 67.4 million wireless subscribers, an increase of 3.4% relative to December. Net subscriber additions in the third quarter, 960 thousand, doubled those of the prior year, with postpaid net adds totaling 164 thousand. PayTV and broadband accesses were up 14.4% and 13.1%, respectively, relative to December and the number of fixed-voice lines rose 7.1%. Bundle offers continued to attract customers: 56% of our new RGUs were placed under triple-play packages. In September, we launched the Combo Multi, our first mass market quadruple-play product.
Third quarter revenues of 8.4 billion reais increased 10.3% year-on-year, the fastest rate in six quarters. The acceleration of service revenue growth reflects improvements on both the wireless and the fixed-line platforms. Mobile data revenues continued to outperform rising 25.1%, followed closely by PayTV revenues that were up 22.2%, with fixed-broadband revenues growing 14.0%. Voice revenues declined on both platforms.
EBITDA for the quarter came in at 1.9 billion reais, slightly down (0.7%), from the same period of 2012; it was equivalent to 22.3% of revenues. The pressure in EBITDA is coming from i) an increase of interconnection costs resulting from changes in wireless commercial plans ii) greater costs of leasing wireless sites that are required to expand the reach of our network, and iii) costs associated to the launch of fixed-line services in new cities in which we have had to lease infrastructure.
Year-to-date, we have gained 169 thousand clients from mobile number portability. We have made important inroads, especially in the postpaid segment, offering attractive commercial plans, a constant improvement of our networks to enable better data transmission speeds, lower prices and better quality. In the latest evaluations conducted by Anatel, Claro outperformed all of its mobile peers.

We added 559 thousand new wireless subscribers in the quarter, 82 thousand of which were postpaid, reaching a total of 28.4 million subscribers. Relative to December, our postpaid base has risen 4.7%. As regards the fixed-line operation, RGU net additions totaled 122 thousand in the quarter, bringing to 424 thousand the figure for the first nine months of the year. RGUs ended September at 4.6 million accesses, 10.1% more than at the start of the year. Over the last 12 months, we gained more than three points of market share in fixed voice and almost two points in the broadband segment.
Third quarter revenues of 2.7 trillion Colombian pesos were 8.9% above those of the year-earlier quarter, with wireless service revenues rising 2.3% as wireless voice revenues declined 2.2%, mostly on account of a voluntary free airtime bonus of approximately 66 million minutes given to our clients as compensation for a technical failure in the month of September. On the fixed line platform, revenues increased 16.0% to 537 trillion Colombian pesos, or a fifth of total revenues. Other than in mobile voice, revenue growth was strong across the board: 21.0% in fixed-line voice, 16.8% for data revenues on each of the mobile and fixed-line platforms; and 9.2% in PayTV.
EBITDA for the third quarter was 1.2 trillion Colombian pesos, 4.2% higher than that of same period of 2012. The margin came in at 44.4% of revenues, having declined 2 percentage points from the year before on account of increases in the acquisition costs of postpaid clients that are taking up data plans with pricier smartphones. (The average cost per unit sold has risen around 30% in the last 12 months.)

Chile
In the third quarter, we disconnected 335 thousand wireless subscribers that were not generating enough traffic, ending September with 5.9 million clients. Our postpaid base however, was up 12.8% over the year with net additions of 27 thousand. RGUs were 1.1 million at the end of the quarter, 7.1% more than at the beginning of the year.
Third quarter revenues of 196.9 billion Chilean pesos were 12.7% higher than in the prior year. Wireless service revenues were up 9.7% with data revenues increasing 25.5%—to 25.6% of service revenues—and voice revenues rising 5.2%. Fixed line revenues—which account for 29.4% of the total—were 13.0% higher than a year before driven by PayTV and broadband.
EBITDA for the quarter was 10.8 billion Chilean pesos, equivalent to 5.5% of revenues. The contraction of EBITDA stems from greater acquisition costs of new postpaid subs.

Ecuador
Net wireless additions for the quarter were 187 thousand—a third of them postpaid—allowing us to close September with 11.9 million subscribers. We also had 295 thousand RGUs in September, 18.9% more than at the beginning of the year.
Our third quarter revenues came in at 436 million dollars, 12.3% higher than in the year-earlier quarter. Wireless service revenues were up 11.3% over the year with data revenues rising 36.4%, given the greater adoption of devices with data capabilities. Voice revenue growth showed an improvement after reporting declines in each of the last three quarters. On the fixed-line platform, revenues increased 14.4%.
Third quarter EBITDA was down 3.2% year-on-year to 180 million dollars with a margin of 41.4% as we have been increasingly selling data-capable devices such as smartphones and tablets.
In the third quarter, we launched DTH services in Ecuador, it has proven to be a very popular product so far.

We added 283 thousand new wireless subscribers in the quarter—67% of which were postpaid—to finish September with 11.5 million subscribers. Our subscriber base was down 7.3% as the annual comparison is still affected by recent changes in churn policies; however, our postpaid subscriber base shot-up 22.0% relative to December. Our fixed-RGUs, 981 thousand were 12.5% higher than at the start of the year.
Our third quarter revenues of 1.2 billion soles in the quarter exceeded by 11.2% those of the third quarter of 2012. Wireless service revenues rose 10.8% with increases of 27.3% in data and 5.4% in voice. Fixed-line revenues were up 24.9% over the year on the back of voice revenues that rose 34.5%. Fixed-line revenues have increased their share of total revenues to 12.3%.
The rapid pace of postpaid growth and the increase in the number of data plans with upscale devices weighed on EBITDA, which at 445 million soles declined 3.9% relative to the prior year. The margin for the period stood at 35.9%.

Our operations in Central America and the Caribbean ended September with 22.5 million wireless subscribers—6.7% more than in December—after net additions of 484 thousand in the quarter. We also had 6.4 million fixed-line RGUs, 5.7% more than in December.
Our third quarter revenues were almost flat (+1.5% yoy) at 973 million dollars. Wireless service revenues increased 4.4% year-on-year on the back of data revenues that expanded 25.6%. Fixed line revenues—which account for 41% of the total—were down 2.2% as the growth of PayTV and fixed-broadband was not enough to offset the contraction of voice revenues.
We generated an EBITDA of 329 million dollars; 19.0% above the third quarter of 2012. The margin for the period climbed 5 percentage points to 33.8%.

We ended September with 23 million subscribers, 6.5% more than a year ago. TracFone registered 5 thousand net additions in the quarter after disconnections resulting from the revaluation of the conditions of certain commercial plans.
Third quarter revenues of 1.5 billion dollars were 17.2% higher than in the same quarter of 2012 driving ARPU up 10.7%. The rate of revenue growth has normalized: over the last four quarters it had been driven up by the consolidation of Simple Mobile in late June 2012. This time around, the quarter’s revenue growth is completely organic.
Data revenues kept on expanding rapidly: 50% year-on-year. They have come to represent 42.5% of TracFone’s service revenues. Voice revenues are now growing roughly in line with subscriber growth.
EBITDA rose 8.2% to 205 million dollars, representing an EBITDA margin of 13.7% of revenues.
