América Móvil’s first quarter of
2017 financial and operating report

 

Mexico City, April 25, 2017 - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX, AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL], announced today its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2017. 

  • First quarter revenues were up 18.5% year-on-year in Mexican peso terms to 264 billion pesos, with EBITDA rising 15.8% to 72 billion pesos. At 27.1%, the EBITDA margin was slightly lower, 0.6 percentage points, than a year before.
     
  • At constant exchange rates service revenues were up 3.1% continuing their trend of steady sequential improvements seen since the second quarter of 2016. Although Mexico and Colombia made important contributions in this recovery, it was broad based.
     
  • EBITDA posted a 1.5% year-on-year increase at constant exchange rates—the first in eight quarters—representing a significant swing from the 8.1% decrease observed in the prior quarter. Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Peru were all important contributors to this sequential improvement. The acceleration in service revenue growth and the implementation of cost control policies over the last quarters underpinned the expansion of EBITDA.
     
  • Our wireless postpaid base was up 5.1% year-on-year at the end of March, having added 632 thousand subs in the first quarter, while the prepaid base was down 3.3% after net disconnections of 1.4 million subs, mostly as a result of disconnections in the US under the SafeLink brand. Fixed-RGUs were up 1.8% year-on-year, with broadband accesses rising 6.4%. We finished the quarter with 363 million access lines.
     
  • We registered a comprehensive financing income of 30.4 billion pesos in the quarter on the back of foreign exchange gains, mostly as a result of the Mexican peso appreciating vs. the dollar and the euro. 
     
  • With our operating profits rising 8.3% to 30.4 billion pesos, this comprehensive financing income helped us attain a net profit of 35.9 billion pesos in the period, up from 4.8 billion pesos a year before. 
     
  • Our capital expenditures in the quarter totaled 28.6 billion pesos and we invested an additional 3.7 billion pesos in the acquisition of Olo in Perú and Metronet in Croatia. Substantially all of these outlays were covered by our cash flow; the remainder financed by 2.0 billion pesos in net borrowings from the market.
     
  • In peso terms, our net debt came down to 584 billion pesos from 630 billion in December mainly as a consequence of the appreciation of the Mexican peso vs. the dollar and the euro. Our leverage ratio remained practically unchanged from the prior quarter.

 

Relevant Events

 

On March 8th, 2017, we received a resolution issued by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) related to its “biennial” evaluation of the asymmetrical regulations imposed on March 2014 to Telcel and Telmex. Certain asymmetrical regulations were modified and new regulations were added as follows: 

 

A) For mobile services, the main modifications have to do with wireless wholesale services and seek to ensure that any interested party can replicate Telcel’s commercial offers.

 

B) For fixed services, the main modifications have to do with the legal separation of Telmex access network and passive infrastructure into a legal entity that, although owned by AMX (directly or indirectly), will have certain degree of operational independence from AMX, including an independent Board and Management. This entity will provide wholesale services associated with local loop unbundling and shared accesses to passive infrastructure. The legal separation is subject to a proposal prepared by us and to be approved by IFT. Other new measures imposed on Telmex seek to ensure (a) economic replicability of Telmex’s plans and commercial offers and (b) changes to the cost model associated with the pricing of links (enlaces).

Access Lines

 

We ended March with 362.7 million access lines, practically flat from a year before, -0.7%, as our wireless base declined 1.4%. Wireless subscribers account for 77% of the total.   

 

In the postpaid wireless segment, we added 632 thousand new clients in the quarter. Brazil led the way with 205 thousand followed by Mexico with 177 thousand and Colombia with 87 thousand. Our postpaid subscriber base rose 5.1% over the year. In the prepaid segment, we registered net disconnections of 1.4 million subscribers, mainly as a result of clients in the U.S. failing to qualify for federal support under the SafeLink brand. 

 

In the fixed-line platform we had 82.8 million fixed RGUs, 1.8% more than in the prior year. Broadband accesses were up 6.4% after connecting 258 thousand new accesses in the quarter, most of them in Central America, Colombia and Brazil. In voice lines and in DTH units—but not in other PayTV services—we registered net disconnections in the period. 

 

Colombia was our fastest growing operation rising 9.1% over the year followed by Central America, which was up 8.0%.

América Móvil Consolidated Results

 

In the first quarter of 2017 economic activity remained sluggish in Brazil but appeared to be strengthening across the region. This included Mexico, that resumed its expansion after a rocky start of the year in the wake of the U.S. election as increased uncertainty about NAFTA´s prospects impacted consumer sentiment and pummeled the peso. By the end of the quarter retail sales were surging and the peso vs. the dollar had risen to its best level since the U.S. election: it was the top performing currency in the period.

 

First quarter revenues of 264 billion pesos were 18.5% higher than those of the year-earlier quarter, with EBITDA of 72 billion pesos rising 15.8% year-on-year.  The EBITDA margin, 27.1%, was nearly flat in the period, having declined 0.6 percentage points. 

 

Consolidated service revenues continued their comeback led by Mexico and Colombia. At constant exchange rates they were up 3.1% year-on-year compared to 0.7% the prior quarter and -0.2% in the third quarter. Most regions experienced sequential improvements in service revenue growth.

 

Every single business line presented sequential improvements in the first quarter at constant exchange rates, most notably mobile data revenues, whose rate of growth shot up from 11.7% in the fourth quarter to 16.5%. Voice revenues recovered sequentially on both platforms, particularly on the fixed-one, although are still posting negative rates of growth.

 

As service-revenue growth accelerated, EBITDA continued to improve, with a significant swing from an 8.1% year-on-year decrease in the fourth quarter to an increase of 1.5% in the first quarter, the first increase in eight quarters. Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Peru were all important contributors to this sequential improvement, with the latter experiencing an important turnaround and Mexico recovering rapidly. 

 

Our operating profit rose 8.3% from the year-earlier quarter to 30.4 billion and, together with financial income in the amount of 30.4 billion pesos, helped us attain a net quarterly profit of 35.9 billion pesos. Financial income stemmed from foreign exchange gains of 37.1 billion pesos that resulted for the most part from the appreciation of the Mexican peso vs. both the dollar and the euro in the period. Our net profit was equivalent to 55 peso cents per share and 53 dollar cents per ADR.

 

Capital expenditures totaled 28.6 billion pesos in the quarter. We invested an additional 3.7 billion pesos in the acquisition of ownership interests in Olo, in Peru, and Metronet in Croacia, and effected share buybacks in the amount of 444 million pesos. Substantially all of these outlays were covered by our cash flow; the remainder financed by 2.0 billion pesos in net borrowings from the market.

 


 
 

 

Notwithstanding our net borrowings, in peso terms our net debt came down to 584 billion pesos from 630 billion in December as a consequence of the appreciation of the currency. As of March, our net debt to EBITDA (LTM) ratio was mostly unchanged relative to the previous quarter.

Mexico

 

In Mexico we gained 177 thousand postpaid subscribers in the first quarter and disconnected 188 thousand prepaid ones to end the quarter with 72.9 million, with our overall subscriber base almost unchanged relative to last December. On the fixed-line platform we ended the quarter with 22.1 million RGUs, 1.7% more than a year before, as new broadband subscribers, 398 thousand since the first quarter of 2016, more than compensated for a 31 thousand reduction in fixed-voice clients.

 

Revenues totaled 63.4 billion pesos in the quarter and were 2.1% lower than in the year-earlier quarter. Service revenues continued their recovery posting a 3.6% year-on-year decline in the quarter that compares to a 7.5% reduction in the fourth quarter and a 10.2% one in the third quarter. The recovery was driven by faster data-services revenue growth, particularly in mobile, with revenues that accelerated from a 5.2% year-on-year increase in the fourth quarter to a 15.9% pace in the first one. Fixed-data services revenues also rose, as they went from a 0.2% decrease to a 3.6% increase in the same period.

 

Importantly, mobile ARPUs have come back from 127 in the second quarter of 2016 to 129 pesos. In terms of their annual rate of change, they went from -17.7% in the second quarter of 2016 to -2.3% in the first quarter of the year. Part of the ARPU improvement lies in the shift towards more postpaid subscribers, with our postpaid base increasing 6.7% while our prepaid base fell 2.1%. But the ARPU improvement owes a lot to changes in the commercial offerings that have reduced the life span of prepaid cards of different denominations and also enabled us to extract more revenues from data services.

 

EBITDA came in at 20.2 billion pesos. In relative terms it showed an even more marked recovery than did service revenues: Whereas in the first quarter EBITDA was still down 12.6% year-on-year, it had been down 23.6% in the prior quarter and 24.6% in the third quarter. Revenue growth helped the recovery but so did a number of cost reduction measures that have been implemented over the last several months.

Altogether, our operations in the Argentinean block finished March with 23.8 million wireless subscribers, 4.2% more than a year before, after net additions of 99 thousand subscribers in the first quarter. On the fixed-line platform RGUs increased 7.9% to 632 thousand.

 

Revenues totaled nearly 11 billion Argentinean pesos; they were up 20.9% year-on-year with service revenues expanding 28.7%. Mobile data revenues increased 57.9% as mobile voice revenues fell 5.4%. On the fixed-line platform, service revenues increased 26.0%; with fixed-data revenues decelerating from the prior quarter. Fixed service revenues only represent 7% of the total.

 

EBITDA was up 20.1% year-on-year to 3.9 billion Argentinean pesos, recovering from a relative dip the prior quarter; it was equivalent to 35.7% of revenues.

Brazil

 

Our postpaid base continued to grow in Brazil as we added 205 thousand subs in the quarter, while we continued to disconnect prepaid clients. Hence, our postpaid base was up 9.8% year-on-year while our prepaid base was down 13.8% at the end of March.  Fixed-RGUs totaled 36.4 million after net disconnections of 278 thousand units in the quarter from voice and entry-level (DTH) PayTV services. 

 

First quarter revenues of 8.9 billion reais were slightly lower than in the year-earlier quarter because of a decline in equipment revenues, but service revenues were up 0.8%, which compared to the 2.2% decline posted the previous quarter. There were important sequential improvements in mobile revenues, with mobile data revenues switching from -1.7% in the fourth quarter to +9.7% in the first, and mobile voice revenues slowing their rate of decline from 14.1% to 8.7%. On the fixed-platform there was a sequential improvement in voice but slight deceleration in data revenues. PayTV revenue growth continued at an even pace, of 2.4%.

 

Buoyed by the sequential improvement in service revenues, EBITDA rose 5.0% over the prior year—having declined 2.4% in the fourth quarter—to reach 2.5 billion reais helped along by cost reductions associated to technical areas of the business. The EBITDA margin expanded 1.5 percentage points to 27.8%.

Chile

 

We added 82 thousand wireless subscribers in the first quarter bringing the total base to 6.7 million by the end of March, 3.8% above last year; our postpaid subscriber base was up 15.4%. In addition, we had 1.3 million fixed-RGUs, 7.4% more than a year before as broadband accesses shot up 18.3%.

 

Revenues of 201 billion Chilean pesos were 11.1% higher than a year before, with service revenues increasing 7.9%, their best performance in six quarters, on the back of data-services revenues that expanded 17.7% on the fixed platform and 16.5% on the mobile one. 

 

EBITDA growth continued to accelerate following the trend it has shown over the last several quarters, doubling in the first quarter relative to the year before to 26.9 billion Chilean pesos. It was equivalent to 13.4% of revenues, 6.0 percentage points more than the prior year.

Colombia

 

We finished March with 29.2 million wireless subscriber after adding 199 thousand in the quarter, 87 thousand of them contract clients. The postpaid base rose 8.8% year-on-year to 6.5 million. On the fixed-line platform we had 6.5 million RGUs, 9.1% more than a year before, with landlines and broadband accesses growing 12.7% and 11.1%, respectively, and PayTV units increasing 4.7%. 

 

The quarter’s revenues of 2.8 trillion Colombian pesos were up 1.9% over the prior year. After five quarters of steady sequential improvements —albeit still with negative rates of growth— Claro posted its first year-on-year increase in service revenues in several quarters, 2.1%. The latter was mostly driven by data-revenue growth: 19.7% on the mobile platform and 11.8% on the fixed one.  

 

EBITDA reached 1.1 trillion Colombian pesos. As with service revenues, Claro’s EBITDA had shown a clear improving trend over various quarters and posted a 12.0% increase relative to the year-earlier quarter, which compares to a 12.7% decline posted then. The improvement in EBITDA results partly from overall cost control policies, but owes more to the recovery in service revenue growth. The EBITDA margin stood at 39.7% of revenues; it was up 3.6 percentage points in a year.

Ecuador

 

After net gains of 44 thousand wireless subs in the quarter our wireless subscriber base reached 8.8 million, 1.2% more than a year before. We also had 358 thousand fixed-RGUs. 

 

Revenues were down 8.7% to 334 million dollars. Service revenues fell 10.9% year-on-year, a sequential improvement from the 14.1% decline posted the prior quarter, as mobile data revenues recovered from a rate of decline of 13.5% in the fourth quarter to one of 7.2% in the first one. There are several factors behind the annual contraction of service revenues including the introduction of new consumption taxes from the second quarter of 2016 and a 75% reduction in the mobile termination rate in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we continue to operate in a very competitive environment, with prices down by 36% on average. 

 

First quarter EBITDA totaled 126 million dollars or 37.9% of revenues. The period’s figures reflect a provision for certain payments related to the concession that have been under dispute. In absence of this provision, the EBITDA margin would have been 39.5%.

Peru

 

Our wireless subscriber base ended March with nearly 12 million subs following the disconnection of 85 thousand clients in the quarter. On the fixed-line platform we had 1.4 million fixed RGUs, roughly flat from a year before.

 

Revenues of 1.3 billion soles were up 5.7% year-on-year, as service revenues increased 3.4%, the best showing in six quarters. Mobile data revenues increased 34.1% while voice revenues were down 16.1%, as the average price per minute of voice declined 37%. MOUs were up to 200 per month from 150 a year before. Fixed line revenues—16% of the total— were 1.9% higher than last year on the back of data that was up 5.1%. 

 

The strong expansion of mobile data revenues was made possible by Claro having done away with the spectrum limitation that had restricted its offerings over several quarters. The acquisition of new spectrum in an auction last year and the acquisition of OLO, an entity in Peru that owned additional spectrum, have allowed us a fuller utilization of our mobile network.

Helped along by the expansion of revenues, EBITDA reached an inflection point: at 278 million soles, it was up 8.8% over the prior year, the first annual increase in several quarters. The margin was equivalent to 20.7% of revenues. 

 

At the end of March Peru suffered the worst floods in decades. Unusually heavy rains brought about by El Niño conditions drenched the northern territories of Peru. We were able to reinstate telecommunication services in the damaged areas in a timely manner; yet, our quarterly results partly reflect the impact of these unfortunate events.

All in, on the fixed-line platform RGUs expanded 8.0% in annual terms to reach 5.5 million; growth was driven by broadband accesses, up 16.6% year-on-year. On the mobile front we ended March with 15.3 million subs after adding 207 thousand new clients in the first quarter. 

 

Revenues rose 3.0% year-over-year to 568 million dollars, with service revenues increasing 1.2%. The trend of deceleration of service revenues continued on the back of the deceleration of mobile data revenues, particularly in Guatemala on account of pricing.  

 

EBITDA was up 1.9% annually to 195 million dollars with an EBITDA margin that stood at 34.3% of revenues.

Caribbean

 

Our operations in the Caribbean had a total of 5.5 million wireless subscribers, 3.3% more than a year before, with the postpaid base increasing 5.8%. Fixed-RGUs increased 5.5% to 2.7 million. 

 

The quarter’s revenues, 478 million dollars, declined 1.1% relative to the prior year as a result of a contraction in voice revenues in the Dominican Republic. Service revenues in Puerto Rico showed signs of improvement, but failed to compensate for the said effect. 

 

EBITDA of 156 million dollars expanded 5.5% relative to the year-earlier quarter and the EBITDA margin was 32.5% up from 30.5% the year before. Growth comes from Puerto Rico where we have seen consistent improvements over the last five quarters.

United States

 

We ended the quarter with 24.7 million subscribers after net disconnections of 1.3 million, most of them clients from our SafeLink brand that failed to certify they were still eligible for the program under U.S. federal rules.

 

First quarter revenues, just shy of two billion dollars, exceeded by 13.1% those obtained a year before, with equipment revenues rising 22.0% and service revenues growing 12.0%. EBITDA came in at 211 million dollars and was up 30.4% from the year-earlier quarter, with an EBITDA margin of 10.6% of revenues, 1.4 percentage points more than a year before. 

 

The annual comparison of our financials is affected by the acquisition of T-Mobile’s Walmart Family Plan in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusting for this, revenue growth would have been 3.8% year-on-year and EBITDA would have risen 24.6%.

Telekom Austria Group

 

Our European operations ended March with 20.6 million wireless subscribers, 0.4% more than a year before, as the increase in postpaid subscribers more than offset the losses of the prepaid segment. Fixed-RGUs were up 5.8% year-on-year following acquisitions in Belarus and Croatia; organically, RGUs would have (risen) 4.5%.

 

Group revenues were up 4.9% year-over-year to 1.1 billion euros. The annual comparison is affected by a) the acquisition of Metronet in Croatia that has been consolidated as of Febrary 1st and the acquisition of Atlant Telecom in Belarus consolidated as of December 1st; b) extraordinary items booked in Austria. Correcting for these, revenue growth would have increased 2.7%.  

 

Strong service revenue performance in Belarus, Croatia and Slovenia more than compensated for the elimination of international roaming tariffs within the E.U. Such move had a substantial impact in Austria given the strong inflow of tourists to visiting from other countries in the E.U.; yet, service revenues rose 0.7% over the year (excluding one-offs). On a group level, service revenues grew 2.2%, organically, buoyed by data services up 10% on both platforms. 

 

First quarter EBITDA declined 1.5% relative to the prior year—proforma and stripping out extraordinary items—due to an increase in high-value subscriber retention costs and equipment costs; reported EBITDA was up 1.5%. The EBITDA margin stood at 32.1% of revenues.
