CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR 2Q04ONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR 2Q04

(Comparisons refer to 2Q03)

REVENUES

 

Telefónica CTC Chile's revenues increased by 0.5% in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03, amounting to Ch$201,665 million (US$316.9 million). Regarding the evolution in the different business areas, fixed telephony and long distance revenues negatively impacted the consolidated revenues during 2Q04, with decreases of 5.7% and 9.4%, respectively, compared to 2Q03. These declines were partially offset by increases of 11.1% in mobile services, 1.3% in corporate communications and 9.3% in other businesses, which includes revenues from public telephones, interior installations and from the subsidiary Telemergencia (home security services).

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating costs and expenses increased by 4.4% in 2Q04, to Ch$180,758 million (US$284.1 million), as compared to Ch$173,145 million (US$272.1 million) in 2Q03.

Salary expenses increased 1.5% in 2Q04 when compared to 2Q03, to Ch$14,282 million (US$22.4 million), mainly due to higher salaries in the mobile business.

Other operating costs and expenses increased by 13.9% in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03, to Ch$57,263 million (US$90.0 million). This increase is attributable to growth in the mobile business and the associated increase in costs for equipment sales.

Administrative and selling expenses increased by 7.9% in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03, to Ch$46,031 million (US$72.3 million), due to higher marketing costs associated with the growth which in turn have generated an increase in sales costs and advertising.

EBITDA

As a result of the above, EBITDA in 2Q04 fell by 8.5% to Ch$85,814 million (US$134.9 million), compared to Ch$93,773 million (US$147.4 million) recorded in 2Q03.

EBITDA margin in 2Q04 was 42.6%, compared to 46.8% recorded in 2Q03.

 

DEPRECIATION

As of 4Q03, depreciation of assets related to the sales and administration will be accounted for under "Administrative and selling expenses". Exhibits were adjusted accordingly in the four quarters of 2003.

Total depreciation in 2Q04 decreased by 2.2% to Ch$64,907 million (US$102.0 million), as compared to 2Q03.

OPERATING INCOME

OPERATING INCOME decreased by 23.8% to Ch$20,907 million (US$32.8 million) in 2Q04 when compared to Ch$27,421 million (US$43.1 million) recorded in 2Q03. The operating margin amounted to 10.4% in 2Q04 as compared to 13.7% in 2Q03.

 

NON-OPERATING INCOME

NON-OPERATING INCOME (LOSS): Telefónica CTC Chile recorded a lower non-operating loss, meaning a 68.6% decrease to Ch$5,959 million (US$9.4 million) in 2Q04, as compared to a non-operating loss of Ch$18,991 million (US$29.8 million) in 2Q03. This improvement is basically the result of:

  1. A decrease of 34.4% in financial interest expenses in 2Q04 with respect to 2Q03 as a result of a 2.4% reduction in average interest-bearing debt (US$1,421 million in 2T04) and a lower exchange rate for the Chilean peso vs. US dollar;
  2. A monetary correction gain of Ch$4,154 million (US$6.5 million) in 2Q04, compared to a monetary correction loss of Ch$2,435 million (US$3.8 million) registered in 2Q03, mainly explained by the positive CPI in 2Q04 and the gain for exchange rate gain resulting from the hedging of financial expenses;
  3.  

  4. A 42.2% increase in other non-operating income due to the profit of Ch$6,397 million (US$10.1 million) obtained from the sale of Publiguías, and
  5. A 24.9% decrease in the amortization of goodwill as a result of the accounting of the amortization of Sonda's goodwill up to July 2003.

The above was partially offset by: (i) a 24.6% decrease in interest income due to lower local interest rates and a lower cash position resulting from the Company's reduction in interest-bearing debt, and (ii) a 74.4% increase in other non-operating expenses due to costs from the business restructuring incurred in 2Q04.

 

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES: In 2Q04, Telefónica CTC Chile recorded a total income tax charge in the amount of Ch$8,658 million (US$13.6 million) as compared to the Ch$7,516 million (US$11.8 million) tax charge registered in 2Q03. This total income tax is composed of Ch$5,333 million (US$8.4 million) in current income tax and a Ch$3,324 million (US$5.2 million) charge for deferred taxes for the period as well as amortization of deferred taxes for previous periods.

NET RESULT

The Company recorded a net income of Ch$6,320 million (US$9.9 million) in 2Q04 as compared to a net income of Ch$917 million (US$1.4 million) recorded in 2Q03.

Net income per ADR in 2Q04 amounted to US$0.042, compared to a net income per ADR of US$0.005 recorded in 2Q03. Furthermore, net income per share in 2Q04 equaled Ch$6.6 as compared to the net income of Ch$1.0 in 2Q03.

 

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for Telefónica CTC Chile and its consolidated subsidiaries amounted to US$45 million in 2Q04 compared to US$61 million in 2Q03, given the higher capital expenditures devoted to deployment of the GSM network in 2003.

CASH FLOW

The consolidated free cash flow from operations in 2Q04 reached Ch$42,051 million (US$66.1 million) as compared to Ch$37,810 million (US$59.4 million) in 2Q03.

FIXED TELEPHONY

Higher contribution to consolidated revenues coming from access charges and interconnections due to the impact of the new Tariff Decree

 

Revenues from fixed telephony services include Primary Service, Access Charges and Interconnections and Directory Advertising. Fixed telephony revenues, which represented 43.6% of total operating revenues in 2Q04, decreased by 5.7% to Ch$88,010 million (US$138.3 million) as compared to 2Q03. Since May 2004, the Company has made the appropriate provisions regarding new tariffs imposed under the Tariff Decree No. 169. These tariffs, once they receive approval from the Chilean Controller, will become effective retroactively to May 6, 2004.

Primary service revenues, which include the fixed monthly charge, variable charge, connections and other installations, value-added services and equipment marketing, plus others (ADSL, IP flat fee, rural telephony, among others), decreased by 8.4% to Ch$80,263 million (US$126.1 million) in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03. This decrease is mainly attributable to a 4.2% decrease in the fixed monthly charge and a 19.9% decrease in the variable charge due to: (i) a 7.2% decrease in average lines in service in 2Q04 vs. 2Q03, as result of higher disconnections in 2003 from tighter control of non-payment; (ii) the provisioning for the effects from applying the new Tariff Decree, and (iii) a 10.2% decrease in total local traffic for 2Q04 compared to 2Q03. However, the above was partially offset by a 75.0% increase in other fixed telephony revenues primarily due to the growth in new services over fixed line, such as ADSL (a 95.4% growth in lines in service in 2Q04 vs. 2Q03) and flat fee plans.

Access charges and interconnections include revenues from access charges generated by LD carriers, as well as those paid by other telecommunications operators that use Telefónica CTC Chile's network. They also include other interconnection services apart from access charges, such as interconnection of networks and information services to carriers, among others. These revenues increased by 38.7% in 2Q04 to Ch$7,428 million (US$11.7 million) as compared to 2Q03. This increase was mainly due to 80.7% increase in other interconnection services due to the effect of the new Tariff Decree No. 169 since May 2004 and the regularization of revenues from other fixed telephony operators.

Revenues from directory advertising, generated by the Company's contract with Publiguías, decreased by 11.1% in 2Q04 to Ch$319 million (US$0.5 million) as compared to 2Q03.

LONG DISTANCE

DLD and ILD market shares increase to 44.2% and 32.0%, respectively

Long distance revenues include revenues from domestic and international long distance traffic carried by 188 Telefónica Mundo and Globus 120, as well as revenues from the rental of the long distance network to other telecom operators. Total long distance revenues, which accounted for 7.3% of consolidated operating revenues in 2Q04, decreased by 9.4% as compared to 2Q03, to Ch$14,760 million (US$23.2 million). This decrease in revenues was mainly due to: (i) lower revenues from domestic long distance services ("DLD") due to the 13.4% decrease in the average price for this service, although DLD traffic carried by 188 Telefónica Mundo and Globus 120 grew 7.4% in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03, and (ii) lower revenues from international long distance services ("ILD") due to a reduction of 11.0% in the outgoing ILD average price in 2Q04 vs. 2Q03, although outgoing ILD average traffic increased 7.0% in 2Q04 compared to 2Q03, and (iii) lower revenues from the rental of the long distance network to other telecom operators due to lower prices and lower industry traffic in general.

 

 

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

A 32.1% increase in the average subscriber base, where higher traffic offset the tariff decrease

Mobile communications revenues include revenues from outgoing cellular traffic and interconnection revenues from Calling Party Pays (incoming traffic to the mobile network), as well as revenues from mobile equipment sales. Total revenues from mobile communications, which accounted for 31.5% of total operating revenues in 2Q04, amounted to Ch$63,577 million (US$99.9 million), representing an increase of 11.1% when compared to 2Q03. This increase is mainly the result of a 32.1% increase in average cellular subscribers which fuelled an increase in sales of prepaid equipments in relation to contract equipments. This was partially offset by a decrease in the average monthly revenue per user ("ARPU"), due to the application of new CPP tariffs as of February 12, 2004 and an increase in the proportion of prepaid customers in Telefónica Móvil's subscriber base. Prepaid customers represented 83.8% of total cellular subscribers as of June 30, 2 004, as compared to 77.2% on the same date of the previous year. As of June 30, 2004, Telefónica Móvil had 2,738,580 customers, of which, 923,071 are GSM customers.

CORPORATE CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS

Continued increase in revenues from connectivity services through the IP network

 

Corporate customer communications include revenues from (i) telecommunications equipment sales, which refers to voice equipment (fax, PABX, etc.); (ii) complementary telephone services, such as 600, 700, 800 numbers and digital communications; (iii) data services, including ATM, Frame Relay, data equipment and services related to the IP network, and (iv) dedicated links and others, including videoconference, Datared, E1 Links and VSAT, "ISP Empresas" revenues, services such as housing and hosting and consulting services to corporate customers.

Revenues from corporate customer communications increased by 1.3% to Ch$20,013 million (US$31.5 million) in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03. The 9.9% contribution to consolidated operating revenues, remained stable vs. 2Q03. The increase in revenues was mainly due to: (i) a 15.0% increase in data services revenues in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03 from increased connectivity services through the IP network, and (ii) a 13.6% increase in complementary services to corporate customers. This was partially offset by: (i) an 18.9% reduction in revenues from telecommunications equipment sales due to higher competition and lower sales of PABX equipment, and (ii) a 8.2% decrease in dedicated links and others, due to a 2.6% decrease in revenues from Datared services in favor of more advanced technologies, such as Frame Relay and ATM. In fact, ATM links increased by 2.2% while data links through the IP network grew by 57.5%. Moreov er, the average number of customers for switched IP network decreased by 21.9% in 2Q04 as compared to 2Q03.

 

 

 

OTHER BUSINESSES

These revenues include public telephones, as well as revenues from interior installations and equipment marketing by the subsidiary CTC Equipos, among others. These revenues which represented 7.6% of total operating revenues in 2Q04, grew 9.3% to Ch$15,305 million (US$24.1 million) in 2Q04 vs. 2Q03.

Public telephone revenues increased by 7.7% in 2Q04 to Ch$2,730 million (US$4.3 million) as compared to 2Q03.

Interior installations and equipment marketing revenues increased by 4.2% in 2Q04 to Ch$7,779 million (US$12.2 million) compared to 2Q03.

Other businesses revenues, that include revenues from other subsidiaries such as Telemergencia and t-gestiona, among others, reached Ch$4,796 million (US$7.5 million) in 2Q04, with a 20.1% increase compared to 2Q03, mainly due to security services, connection services to Internet and from Telepeajes.

SUBTEL ISSUES NEW TARIFF DECREE No. 169 WHICH REGULATES FIXED TELEPHONY TARIFFS FOR TELEFONICA CTC CHILE FOR THE PERIOD 2004-2009

On May 4, 2004, the Company was informed of the Subtel's issuance of Tariff Decree No. 169 in relation to the maximum tariffs for regulated fixed telephony services applicable to the Company's clients.

Since appeals were filed by Telefónica CTC Chile, among other, the Tariff Decree is not yet in effect. Once it is published in the Official Gazette, tariffs will be applied to clients retroactively to May 6, 2004.

The comparison of the new tariffs with respect to the tariffs existing prior to May 2004 (Tariff Decree No. 187), is the following:

In addition to the new tariffs, to which a prepaid tariff was incorporated, 7 tariff areas were defined along with 3 time slots.

The Company estimates that if the new local telephone tariffs defined by Tariff Decree No. 169 were applied and considering the resulting redistribution of traffic toward lower tariff levels, regulated local telephony revenues would decrease approximately 3% over a twelve month period.
