TIW REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Service Revenue of
$264.2 million, up 39.2% from 2003
Operating Income of $50.2 million, up 65.2% from 2003
Net Income of $15.7 million compared to $3.0 million in Q1-2003
Montréal, Canada, May 4, 2004 - Telesystem International Wireless Inc. ("TIW" or the "Company") (TSX, "TIW", Nasdaq, "TIWI") today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Service revenues for the quarter reached $264.2 million compared to $189.8 million for the first quarter of 2003. Consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA)1 increased 32.0% to $107.5 million compared to $81.4 million for the first quarter of 2003. Operating income for the quarter reached $50.2 million compared to $30.4 million for the first quarter of 2003. The strong growth in OIBDA and operating income reflects strong subscriber growth in Romania and margin expansion in the Czech Republic. Net income for the quarter was $15.7 million or $0.13 per share basic and fully diluted compared to a net income of $3.0 million or $0.03 per share for the first quarter 2003.
"We are pleased with our first quarter results. In Romania, we achieved our best first quarter net additions ever, resulting in an accelerating growth rate of service revenues", said Bruno Ducharme, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the Czech Republic we continued to improve our operating margins, achieving a 29% OIDBA margin for the quarter compared to 23% last year" added Mr. Ducharme.
1 We use the term operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA") and average revenue per user ("ARPU") which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that OIBDA, referred to in our previous reporting as EBITDA, provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance for our ongoing business operations, including our ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditure and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our OIBDA calculation is commonly used as one of the bases for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within the wireless telecommunications industry. We believe that ARPU provides useful information concerning the appeal of our rate plans and service offerings and our performance in attracting and retaining high value customers. ARPU excludes revenues from other cellular networks' customers roaming on our network. OIBDA and ARPU should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives measures of performance under GAAP. |
Exhibit 99.1 Results of Operations We recorded net subscriber additions for the first quarter of
282,316 to reach total subscribers of 5,286,109, up 29.7% compared to 4,075,512
at the end of the first quarter of 2003. Consolidated service revenues increased
39.2% to $264.2 million compared to $189.8 million for the first quarter of
2003. The revenue growth and lower depreciation costs as a percentage of revenue
resulted in an operating income of $50.2 million compared to $30.4 million for
the same period last year, an increase of 65.2%. Net income for the first quarter of 2004 amounted to $15.7
million or $0.13 per share basic and fully diluted compared to a net income of
$3.0 million or $0.03 per share for the first quarter 2003. Net income for the
first quarter of 2004 includes a gain of $11.7 million on disposal of our shares
in Hexacom, our Indian affiliate while net income for the corresponding quarter
of 2003 included a gain of $19.6 million on the disposal of part of our
participation in MobiFon S.A. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2004 was
$22.3 million compared to $27.4 million for the same period last year primarily
as a result of the decrease in corporate debt. The 2003 results also include a
loss from our discontinued operations of $8.8 million or $0.09 per share. MobiFon S.A. - Romania MobiFon S.A. ("MobiFon" or its trade mark, "Connex"), the
market leader in Romania with an estimated 48.5% share of the cellular market,
added 215,096 net subscribers for the first quarter for a total of 3,672,138,
compared to net additions of 37,557 in the first quarter of 2003 and total
subscribers of 2,672,765 at the end of the same 2003 period, an increase of 37%.
As of March 31, 2004, postpaid subscribers accounted for 37% of MobiFon's total
subscriber base as compared to 35% at the end of the first quarter of 2003 and
37% at the end of last year. During the past 12 months, we estimate cellular telephony
market penetration in Romania increased to 35% from 24% at the end of the first
quarter of 2003. The first quarter of 2004 confirmed the strength of the mobile
market in Romania. Total market growth was lower than in the previous quarter
due to seasonality but was the best first quarter ever for MobiFon. Service revenues reached $147.6 million compared to $113.1
million for the first quarter of 2003. This record $34.5 million increase in
service revenues translated into a 30.5% year over year growth rate, MobiFon's
highest growth rate since early 2000. This growth was largely attributable to a
35.0% increase in average subscribers. The monthly average revenue per user ("ARPU")1 for
the first quarter was $12.76 compared to $13.29 for the same period of last
year, with the decrease being primarily the result of the one million subscriber
growth experienced during the last 12 months.
Exhibit 99.1 Cost of services as a percent of service revenue increased to
21.7% from 18.7% in the first quarter of 2003. This increase results primarily
from a higher average interconnection rate amongst mobile operators and from
higher roaming costs due to the appreciation of the Euro against the US dollar.
Site costs for the quarter were also greater than for the same period last year
due to the higher level of network deployment activity. Furthermore, MobiFon has
been incurring costs associated with its fiber optic capacity leasing and
reselling agreement since the second quarter of 2003 while revenues derived from
this agreement are recorded as part of equipment revenues. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 22.0% of service revenues compared to 20.9%
for the 2003 corresponding period primarily as a result of greater selling and
marketing expenses associated with subscriber growth. OIBDA increased 17.5% to $77.3 million compared to $65.8
million for the same period last year. OIBDA as a percentage of service revenue
decreased to 52.4% compared to 58.2% in the quarter ending March 31, 2003 and
53.1% for the year 2003 as a whole, primarily as a result of costs incurred in
acquiring significantly more new subscribers and retaining high value
subscribers during the quarter. While new subscribers tend to generate lower
ARPU, the cost to acquire and service these new subscribers are managed
accordingly, which enabled MobiFon to maintain a ratio of OIBDA to service
revenues above 50% over twelve-month periods. During the first quarter of 2004, MobiFon implemented a
loyalty points program. Postpaid customers are awarded points, based on their
total bill, which can be redeemed for handsets or airtime. We recorded an
expense for the ultimate expected incremental cost of the redemption of such
awards with the exception of that portion of such awards which is expected to be
used to purchase handsets subsidized by us in conjunction with the signing of
12-month contracts. The cost associated with points expected to be redeemed for
handsets have been deferred until such time as the handset sale and related
redemption takes place and the cost associated with points which are expected to
be redeemed for airtime have been included in selling, general and
administrative expenses. As a result, operating income for the three month
period ended March 31, 2004, includes an expense of $0.6 million in relation
with the new loyalty program. Operating income rose 34.4% to $48.1 million compared to $35.8 million for
the first quarter of 2003.
Exhibit 99.1 Český Mobil a.s. - Czech Republic Český Mobil a.s. ("Český Mobil" or its trade mark "Oskar")
added 67,220 net subscribers in the first quarter to reach 1,613,971, an
increase of 27.0% compared to 1,270,568 subscribers at the end of the first
quarter of 2003. Český Mobil's focus on postpaid growth continued to be
successful with postpaid subscribers representing 76% of net additions during
the quarter. As a result, Český Mobil's prepaid/postpaid mix as of March 31,
2004 was 56/44 compared to 61/39 at of March 31, 2003 and 58/42 at the end of
December 31, 2003. We estimate we held a 16.3% share of the national cellular
market as of March 31, 2004, compared to a 14.5% share at the same time last
year. During the past 12 months, we estimate cellular penetration in the Czech
Republic increased to 97% from 86% at the end of the first quarter of 2003.
According to our estimate, Český Mobil captured approximately 36% of the total
market new subscriber additions during the quarter. Service revenues increased 52.0% to $116.6 million compared
to $76.7 million for the first quarter of 2003 due to a 29.0% increase in
average subscribers and an 18.1% increase in ARPU. ARPU for the first quarter
reached Czech Koruna 623.5 ($23.72) compared to Czech Koruna 592.5 ($20.09) for
the same period of last year and the average exchange rate between the U.S.
Dollar and the Czech Koruna during the first quarter of 2004 was 12.4% higher
than for the same period in 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to
26.0% of service revenues compared to 28.4% for the same period last year. Český
Mobil recorded OIBDA of $34.4 million compared to OIBDA of $17.3 million for the
same period last year. OIBDA as a percentage of service revenue for the quarter
reached 29% compared to 22% in the first quarter of 2003 and 27% for the year
2003 as a whole. This improvement reflects the revenue impact of solid
subscriber growth, Český Mobil's focus on postpaid growth and the economies of
scale realized as fixed costs are spread over the larger subscriber base. Český
Mobil achieved a record operating income of $6.2 million for the first quarter
of 2004, compared to an operating loss of $3.8 million for the first quarter of
2003
Corporate and Other
Unallocated expenses for corporate and other activities were $4.2 million for the first of 2004 compared to $1.6 million for the same period last year. During 2003, we adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation on a prospective basis and, accordingly, the fair value method has been applied to all grants on or after January 1, 2003. As a result, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2004 include stock based compensation cost of $1.5 million of which $0.9 million is included within corporate and other activities, while the corresponding period of 2003 had no compensation costs as no grants were awarded in that period.
Exhibit 99.1 Liquidity and Capital Resources For the first quarter of 2004, operating activities provided
cash of $41.5 million compared to $46.5 million in the corresponding 2003
period, resulting from the $26 million increase in OIBDA being more than offset
by the $32.2 million increase in working capital requirements. Included in the
change in working capital for 2004 was the first interest payment on the MobiFon
Holdings notes and increases in prepaid spectrum fees. Investing activities used cash of $63.2 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to cash of $10.6 million being provided
during the same period in 2003. Our investing activities consisted of
acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $50.8 million and $29.8 million
for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The 70.7%
increase over the corresponding period last year is primarily the result of
rescheduling planned 2004 capital expenditures in MobiFon to take advantage of
contract terms expiring in the first quarter of the year and to enhance network
capacity to meet traffic increases. Investing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 also include the net proceeds from the sale of our direct
investment in Hexacom which amounted to $21.8 million offset by the use of $5.3
million in connection with the acquisition of a 3.62% non controlling interests
in Český Mobil and the use of $32.1 million in connection with the acquisition
of a 13% non controlling interest in ClearWave. The corresponding 2003 period
also included net proceeds of $39 million related to the sale of a 5.9% interest
in MobiFon. Financing activities provided cash of $59.9 million for the
first quarter of 2004 compared to use of cash of $20.3 million for the first
quarter of 2003. The source of cash provided by financing activities in the
first quarter of 2004 was $67.4 million of proceeds from issuances of our common
shares partially offset by $7.5 million representing the first scheduled
repayment of MobiFon's senior credit facility. First quarter 2003 results
included repayment of short-term corporate loans of $47.4 million partially
offset by proceeds from issuance of long-term debt by our subsidiary of $27.1
million. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted short-term investments
totaled $260.4 million as of March 31, 2004, including $103.9 million at the
corporate level, which included $28.1 million in restricted short term
investments. As of March 31, 2004, total consolidated indebtedness was
$1.1 billion, of which $221.6 million was at the corporate level, $292.5 million
at MobiFon and $565.3 million at Český Mobil. As of March 31, 2004 corporate net
debt defined as debt at the corporate level minus cash at the corporate level
was $117.7 million compared to $154.1 million at March 31, 2003 and $150.9
million at December 31, 2003.
Exhibit 99.1 On March 25, 2004, the shareholders of MobiFon approved
dividends amounting to Lei 4.6 trillion ($138 million). As stipulated in the
shareholders' resolution, the dividends do not become payable to shareholders
until conditions for shareholder distributions are met under the MobiFon's
senior credit agreements. As at March 31, 2004, the maximum payable to
shareholders based on the conditions of such loan agreements, was $79.8 million
and accordingly an amount of $29.1 million is included with amounts payable to
non-controlling interests as at March 31, 2004. On March 17, 2004, we acquired 5.9% of MobiFon and 2.9% of
TIW Czech from EEIF Melville B.V., Emerging Markets Partnership c.v. and EEIF
Czech N.V., in exchange for the issuance of 14,621,714 common shares of TIW. As
a result of this transaction, MobiFon Holdings B.V., our subsidiary, increased
its ownership in MobiFon from 57.7% to 63.5% while our subsidiary ClearWave N.V.
increased its ownership in TIW Czech from 24.2% to 27.1%. These transactions
resulted in the creation of goodwill of $122.1 million and $14.1 million for
MobiFon and Český Mobil respectively. On March 25, 2004, certain of our shareholders and us sold 21
million of our common shares at $ 9.50 per share. The gross proceeds of the
offering was $ 199.5 million. We issued 7 million common shares from treasury
for gross proceeds of $ 66.5 million and 14 million common shares were sold by
the selling shareholders, namely Telesystem Ltd., an affiliate of Hutchison
Whampoa Ltd., affiliates of J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC, and EEIF Melville B.V.
and certain of its affiliates through a secondary offering. The net proceeds of
the treasury offering were $ 62.7 million after deducting underwriting fees and
other expenses. We did not receive any proceeds from the secondary offering. On March 31, 2004, the underwriters of the offering exercised
the over-allotment option they had been awarded to purchase from treasury an
additional 1,050,000 common shares at a price of $9.50 per share. The
over-allotment option closed on April 5, 2004 resulting in net proceeds to us of
$9.5 million. In parallel with the offering of our common shares, we
acquired a 13% equity interest in our subsidiary ClearWave from two
institutional shareholders in consideration for a combination of 10.9 million of
our common shares and $ 35.7 million in cash of which $3.6 million was paid
subsequent to the quarter. As a result of this transaction, our equity interest
in ClearWave increased from 86.8% to 99.8%. The acquisition resulted in the
creation of $115.6 million and $14.6 million of goodwill allocated to MobiFon
and Český Mobil, respectively, based on our estimate of their relative fair
value. We will seek to acquire all other remaining shares of ClearWave.
Exhibit 99.1 With these transactions, we achieved our objective of
increasing our economic ownership in MobiFon and Český Mobil. In the future, we
may seek to further increase our economic interest in our subsidiaries in
exchange of stock, cash or a combination of both. We expect to have future
capital requirements, particularly in relation to the expansion and addition of
capacity of our cellular networks and for servicing of our debt. We intend to
finance such future capital requirements mainly from cash on hand and cash flows
from operating activities. Board Appointments As previously announced, EEIF Melville B.V. was expected to
propose a nominee to our Board of Directors. We have been advised that EEIF
Melville B.V. will nominate Mr. Thierry Baudon who is a Managing Director of
Emerging Markets Partnership ("EMP") and CEO of Emerging Markets Partnership
(Europe) Ltd since 1999. Prior to joining EMP, Mr. Baudon was the Director of

placement du Québec has the intentiton to exercise its rights to exchange a
debenture issued by Telesystem Ltd. into 10,633,002 common shares held by
Telesystem Ltd. As a result of this exchange, Telesystem Ltd. will continue to
own approximately 7.1%, and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec will own
7.6%, of the common shares. The Caisse has also indicated its intention to
nominate Mr. François Laurin to the Board of Directors. Mr. Laurin is

The Company uses the term operating income before
depreciation and amortization (''OIBDA'') and average revenue per user (''ARPU'')
which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. The Company believes that OIBDA, referred to in its previous
reporting as EBITDA, provides useful information to investors because it is an
indicator of the strength and performance for the ongoing business operations,
including the ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital
expenditures and other investments and its ability to incur and service debt.
While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under
generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent
the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived
assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. The Company's OIBDA
calculation is commonly used as one of the bases for investors, analysts and
credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future
operating performance and value of companies within the wireless
telecommunications industry. The Company believes that ARPU provides useful
information concerning the appeal of our rate plans and service offerings and
our performance in attracting and retaining high value customers. ARPU
excludes revenues from other wireless networks' customers roaming on the
Company's network and miscellaneous revenues. OIBDA and ARPU should not be

On June 23, 2003, the Company amended its share capital to implement a one for five (1:5) consolidation of its common shares. Following the consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding common shares was reduced from 467,171,850 to 93,432,101 while the number of issued and outstanding preferred shares remained unchanged at 35,000,000 but their conversion ratio was changed from 1 common share for each preferred share to 1 common share for 5 preferred shares. On March 25, 2004, the 35,000,000 issued and outstanding preferred shares were converted into 7,000,000 common shares. All share and per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the share consolidation.

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and are based upon accounting policies and methods consistent with those used and described in the annual financial statements. These interim financial statements do not comply in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normally recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2003, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The Company's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results. Accordingly, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of what a subsequent quarter's operating results will be. In particular, this seasonality generally results in usage in the first quarter tending to be lower than in the rest of the year. Also in the first quarter, new customer acquisitions tend to be low which can result in reduced costs. Seasonal fluctuations also typically occur in the third quarter of each year because higher usage and roaming, as a result of the summer holidays, result in higher network revenue and operating profit. Furthermore, the fourth quarter typically has the largest number of subscriber additions and associated subscriber acquisition and activation related expenses, including marketing and promotional expenditures, which result in lower operating profits.
The Company expects to have future capital requirements, particularly in relation to the expansion and the addition of capacity to its cellular networks and for the servicing of its debt. The Company intends to finance such future capital requirements mainly from cash and cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments and cash flows from operating activi ties.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for all its stock-based compensation on a prospective basis. Accordingly, the fair value based method is applied to awards granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2003. The Company recorded a stock-based compensation cost, included within selling, general and administrative costs, of $1.5 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2004.
Prior to January 1, 2003, no compensation expense was recognized when options were issued to employees or directors. Had compensation cost been determined using the fair value based method at the date of grant for all awards granted under the employee stock option plan including those granted prior to January 1, 2003, the Company's pro-forma net income, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share would have been as presented in the table below and includes reversal of prior periods compensation expense due to the forfeiture of unvested options by employees.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The movement in the cumulative translation adjustment of $1.2 million, reported as a component of the shareholders' equity, consists of the Company's share of the effect of the depreciation of the Czech Koruna during the first three months of 2004.

INVESTMENTS
Sale of Investment in Hexacom
In December 2003, the Company accepted a binding offer to sell its 27.5% direct equity interest in Hexacom for proceeds of $22.5 million. The Company provided its co-shareholders in Hexacom with the required notices to trigger certain rights of first refusal provided for in the Hexacom Shareholders' Agreement. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company's co-shareholders exercised their right of first refusal and paid the $22.5 million purchase price as stipulated in the December 12, 2003 binding offer. As a result, the Company realized a gain on disposal of its investment in Hexacom of $11.7 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2004.
Acquisition of Shares in MobiFon and TIW Czech
On February 10, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire from a minority shareholder 5.9% of MobiFon in exchange for the issuance of 12,971,119 common shares of the Company's treasury stock. The transaction closed on March 17, 2004, and the Company accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method whereby the excess of the aggregate purchase price of $138.7 million over the net assets acquired resulted in the creation of $122.1 million of goodwill. As part of the transaction, the selling minority shareholder of MobiFon who also has a minority position in TIW Czech N.V., agreed to sell to the Company a 2.9% equity interest in TIW Czech for a cash consideration that the selling shareholder agreed to reinvest into 1,650,595 additional common shares of the Company. The transaction closed on March 17, 2004, and was accounted for using the purchase method whereby the excess of the consideration given of $17.7 million over the net assets acquired resulted in the creation of goodwill of $14.1 million.
Acquisition of Shares in ClearWave
In March 2004, the Company acquired 10,942,625 class A Subordinate Voting Shares of ClearWave from two institutional shareholders, for an aggregate consideration of $139.9 million, consisting of 11,268,538 shares of the Company and $35.7 million in cash of which $3.6 million was paid in April 2004 and is included with accounts payable to non-controlling interests as at March 31, 2004. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the excess of the aggregate consideration over the net assets acquired resulted in the creation of $130.2 million of goodwill of which $115.6 million and $14.6 million was allocated to MobiFon and Český Mobil, respectively. The class A Subordinate Voting Shares acquired represents a 13.0% equity interest and a 4.6% voting interest in ClearWave and as a result the Company's direct and indirect equity and voting interest in ClearWave increased to 99.8% and 99.9%, respectively, resulting in a 63.4% ultimate equity interest in MobiFon and a 27.0% ultimate equity interest in Český Mobil.

MOBIFON LOYALTY PROGRAM
During the first quarter of 2004, MobiFon implemented a loyalty points program. Postpaid customers are awarded points, based on their total bill, which can be redeemed for handsets or airtime. The Company recorded an expense for the ultimate expected incremental cost of the redemption of such awards with the exception of that portion of such awards which is expected to be used to purchase handsets subsidized by the Company in conjunction with the signing of a 12 month contract. The cost of points expected to be redeemed in this manner have been deferred until such time as the handset sale and related redemption takes place. As a result, operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, includes an expense of $0.6 million and other current assets and accrued liabilities include amounts of $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to this program.
The ultimate points to be redeemed and the expected manner of redemption are estimated based on many factors, including the average percentage of customers who remain with the Company for more than one year and redemption patterns to date. The balance sheet liability for unredeemed points will be adjusted over time, based on actual redemption and the cost experience with respect to such redemptions.
NOTE 9
SALE AND LEASE BACK FINANCING - MOBIFON
On January 30, 2004, MobiFon sold its option to buy the properties which were the subject of a sale and leaseback financing and accounted for as capital leases. In addition, MobiFon entered into an operating lease agreement for these properties with total minimum future lease payments amounting to $14.4 million over a six-year period. The agreement becomes effective July 4, 2004 and MobiFon has the option to prolong the lease for another 6 years. The gain from the sale of the option and the gain originating from the difference in the carrying value of the assets and obligations under capital lease, which aggregate to $4.7 million, have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the new lease.
NOTE 10
DIVIDENDS TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
On March 25, 2004, the shareholders of MobiFon approved dividends amounting to Lei 4.6 trillion ($138 million). As stipulated in the shareholders' resolution, the dividends do not become payable to shareholders until conditions for shareholder distributions are met under MobiFon's senior loan agreements. As at March 31, 2004, the maximum payable to shareholders based on the conditions of such loan agreements, was $79.8 million and accordingly an amount of $29.1 million is included with amounts payable to non-controlling interests as at March 31, 2004.
