América Móvil’s first quarter of 2019 financial and operating report

 

Mexico City, April 29th, 2019 - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX, AMOV], announced today its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2019.

 

·

Beginning January 1st we implemented IFRS 16 accounting standards. The information presented in this report was prepared in a prospective basis; comparable information is provided in the appendix.
 

·

We gained 1.5 million postpaid subscribers in the quarter, including 972 thousand in Brazil, just over 200 thousand in Mexico, and 159 thousand from the acquisition in Guatemala.
 

·

We connected 463 thousand broadband accesses including 193 thousand in Central America and 74 thousand in Brazil.
 

·

Mobile postpaid and fixed-broadband were the main drivers of access growth at 6.4% and 5.6% year-on-year, respectively with mobile prepaid declining 3.4%, mostly in Brazil and both fixed-voice and Pay-TV almost flat from a year before.
 

·

Revenues of 246 billion pesos were 3.1% lower than a year before in Mexican peso terms. At constant exchange rates, service revenues were up 2.5%.
 

·

Fixed-broadband revenue growth accelerated to 9.9% and mobile postpaid revenues increased 6.8%. PayTV revenues came down 3.0%.
 

·

EBITDA of 75 billion pesos was equivalent to 30.6% of revenues. Under comparable accounting standards, EBITDA declined 5.6% annually in Mexican peso terms but at constant exchange rates it actually increased 2.6%.
 

·

Our 35.4 billion pesos operating profit and our 1.2 billion pesos in comprehensive financing costs resulted in a net profit of 19.4 billion pesos in the quarter, which was 3.6% higher than that of the prior year. It was equivalent to 29 pesos per share and 31 dollar cents per ADR.
 

·

Our capital expenditures totaled 28.0 billion pesos and were partly funded by new debt. We paid 6.3 billion pesos for Telefonica’s operation in Guatemala and contributed 5.9 billion pesos to our pension funds.
 

·

Our net debt ended March at 703 billion pesos, which includes 116 billion pesos in former lease payments that were capitalized under IFRS16. Under the previous methodology the EBITDA ratio would have been 1.95x EBITDA LTM.

América Móvil Consolidated Results

 

The first quarter of 2019 ended with a reduction in U.S. long-term interest rates as it became apparent that the Federal Reserve would not be able to continue increasing interest rate throughout the year as it had signaled late in 2018 and in the first months of 2019. The world economy appeared to be slowing down. During this period the value of the U.S. dollar vs. the main Latin American countries was fairly stable, not too different at the end of the quarter than at its beginning.

 

Our revenues totaled 245.7 billion pesos in the quarter and were 3.1% lower than a year before in Mexican peso terms, reflecting the depreciation of most of our operating currencies vs. the Mexican peso, with the U.S. dollar being the main exception. On average the real fell 11.7%, the Chilean peso 7.5%, the Colombian peso 6.6% and the euro 5.3% vs. the Mexican peso in the first quarter of 2019 in relation to the year-earlier quarter.

 

 At constant exchange rates, service revenues were up 2.5% from the year-earlier quarter, buoyed by fixed-broadband revenues that were up 9.9% and postpaid mobile revenues that increased 6.8%. Fixed-broadband revenues have accelerated significantly and are outpacing all other revenue units, including postpaid mobile. Only PayTV revenues declined, -3.0%, continuing the trend seen throughout most of the last two years.

 

In the South American block service revenue growth, 3.8%, remained in line with that of the prior quarter whereas in Central America it rose from 0.5% in the fourth quarter to 4.2% in the first one, basically to do with the incorporation of Telefonica’s former operation in Guatemala from February 2019.  Service revenue growth decelerated in both Mexico and the U.S. to 1.6% and to 0.6% respectively. In our operations in Europe—Austria and Eastern European countries—service revenue growth picked up to 2.9%, from -1.1% the prior quarter.

 

On the mobile front, service revenue growth improved in Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

 

EBITDA came in at 75.0 billion pesos in the quarter under the new IFRS16 standard, by which most lease payments are not deducted any more from the operating cash flow and instead are capitalized as new debt coupled with rights of use of assets. Under this accounting convention, the EBITDA margin for the quarter was 30.6%. Under the prior reporting methodology, EBITDA would have been 68.0 billion pesos, representing a 27.7% EBITDA margin, and would have declined 5.6% year-on-year in Mexican peso terms and increased 2.6% at constant exchange rates (see Appendix 1).

Our operating profit reached 35.4 billion pesos under the same IFRS16 standard while our comprehensive financing costs totaled 1.2 billion pesos. Both line items reflect changes under the new methodology, including the allocation of the former rental payments as greater depreciation costs—coming from the new rights of use that were created as assets in the balance sheet—and greater interest costs—the interest component associated with the former rental payments.

 

We obtained a net profit of 19.4 billion pesos in the quarter; it was 3.6% higher than the one observed the year-earlier quarter, equivalent to 29 pesos per share and 31 dollar cents per ADR.

 

Our net debt ended March at 703 billion pesos, which includes 116 billion pesos in former lease payments that were capitalized under IFRS16. Using our prior methodology the net debt to LTM EBITDA ended March at 1.95x (Appendix 2).

Mexico

 

We ended March with 75.6 million mobile subscribers in Mexico, 2.2% more than a year before, after net postpaid gains of 201 thousand clients in the first quarter; our prepaid subscribers came down by 39 thousand. On the fixed-line platform we ended the quarter with 22.3 million RGUs, a 1.6% increase over the prior year.

 

Our first quarter revenues increased 2.0% from a year before to reach 67.2 billion pesos. Service revenues expanded 5.7% on the mobile platform on the back of postpaid revenue growth of 6.9% with prepaid revenues decelerating. On the fixed-line platform service revenues declined 4.6% dragged down by voice revenues, mainly long distance, in spite of fixed broadband revenues increasing 1.0% and those of corporate networks expanding 6.9%.

 

EBITDA totaled 24.8 billion pesos in the quarter using IFRS16, representing an EBITDA margin of 36.9%. A comparison with the prior year using the previous accounting standard shows a 1.1% year-on-year increase (Appendix 3), in the face of a continued fixed-line revenue decline and certain cost increases, including one-off items: the loss of a dispute with another operator and the payment of a fine to the telecom regulator.

Brazil

 

Throughout the first quarter of 2019 and continuing the trend from the prior year, Claro led the market in postpaid subscriber gains, adding 972 thousand subscribers in the period. At the same time, and following the practice from prior years, we disconnected one million prepaid subscribers; altogether we ended March with 56.4 million subs. On the fixed line platform we ended the quarter with 35.0 million RGUs, a decline of 292 thousand from the previous quarter, all of them voice and PayTV accesses; in fixed broadband we added 74 thousand clients.


 
 

 

Revenues were up 1.3% from the year-earlier quarter to 8.9 billion reais, with service revenues increasing 0.7%. Fixed-broadband and mobile postpaid revenues were the main drivers of revenue growth, as has been the case for several quarters now, with the former rising very much in line with the pace seen in the fourth quarter. Prepaid revenue growth was practically flat year-on-year, after several quarters of annual reductions, whereas PayTV revenues continued their decline.

 

Mobile ARPU was up 11.0% to 18 reais, helped along by Claro’s commercial plans that offer unlimited voice, high quality mobile internet—Claro’s is the fastest mobile network and has the broadest population by coverage with 4G+ and 4.5G—and bundled digital services including Claro Musica and Claro Video. In addition, there are passport features by which customers can rely on their local mobile data and voice plans when traveling abroad.

 

EBITDA came in at 3.3 billion reais (under IFRS16) and was equivalent to 37.0% of revenues. Using the prior accounting standard, it would have increased by 4.3% from the year-earlier quarter and the EBITDA margin would have moved up one percentage point (Appendix 3).

 

On residential services our footprint is growing fast through FTTH deployment in 30 cities. We are the leader in the ultrabroadband segment of the market.

Chile

 

Net additions in the quarter came in at 13 thousand subs after 47 thousand postpaid gains and 34 thousand prepaid disconnections, bringing the wireless base to 6.7 million. Our fixed-line operations ended March with 1.4 million RGUs, 6.2% more than a year before, with growth in every service line. At a pace of 9.4% broadband was the fastest-growing segment.

 

Total revenues for the quarter added up to 206 billion Chilean pesos, up 5.6% year-on-year with equipment revenues, rising 89% and service revenues declining 3.2%. Mobile service revenues were 9.5% below those obtained a year before as mobile termination rates were reduced 80% in January. In the absence of such change, service revenues would have declined 5.4% annually in spite of a very competitive market, with prices falling significantly for entry-level postpaid plans.

 

Fixed service revenues continued to accelerate to a pace of 5.9%, with broadband revenues expanding 14.5% and PayTV revenues increasing 5.4%.

 

Under IRFS16 the EBITDA figure for the quarter topped 43 billion Chilean pesos which represents 20.9% of revenues. Under the prior methodology, EBITDA was 4.9% lower than a year before partly on account of the reduction in termination rates (Appendix 3). Adjusting for that, the decline in EBITDA would have been 3.4%.

Colombia

 

Our wireless subscriber base reached 29.9 million in March, up 1.7% year-on-year, after adding 206 thousand new subs in the first quarter. Postpaid net additions of 60 thousand subs brought the postpaid base to nearly seven million, 4.7% more than a year before. Fixed RGUs rose 7.0% year-on-year to 7.3 million after connecting 149 thousand RGUs including 61 thousand new broadband accesses and 35 thousand PayTV units.

 

Revenues rose 4.3% year-over-year to 2.9 trillion Colombian pesos. Fixed service revenues were up 8.2% driven by the expansion of broadband services and corporate networks that continued to accelerate, both reaching a pace of 11.3%; fixed voice and PayTV revenues increased 7.6% and 5.3%, respectively.

 

Mobile service revenues were 0.8% higher than the year before after several quarters of annual reductions resulting from strong competition, especially in the prepaid segment. Postpaid service revenues picked up to 2.7% from 0.3% in the fourth quarter as a result of changes in the commercial offer that have allowed us to monetize the demand for data. Mobile ARPU rose 2.7% to 17,051 Colombian pesos.

 

The EBITDA figure for the quarter was 1.3 trillion Colombian pesos and the margin was  equivalent to 43.8%. EBITDA grew 6.8% on a comparable basis—a margin improvement of one percentage point— as part of our continued effort to reduce costs, which was particularly important in regards to administrative expenses (Appendix 3).

Peru

 

We disconnected 280 thousand subs in the quarter, most of them prepaid, to finish March with 11.8 million wireless subscribers. Our 1.5 million fixed RGUs were up 6.6% year-on-year on the back of broadband accesses that posted an 11.8% increase.

 

Total revenues of 1.3 billion soles were 5.4% lower than a year before with equipment revenues up 6.6% and service revenues declining 9.4%. On the mobile segment, service revenues fell 12.0%. The reduction is partly linked to a mobile termination rate cut of 70% in January in absence of which service revenues would have fallen 7.4%. It also reflects subscriber losses and aggressive offers that have been launched in response to disruptive commercial practices implemented by some of the players, especially in the prepaid segment.

 

EBITDA of 352 million soles was equivalent to 27.9% of revenues. Under the prior accounting methodology, it would have come down 0.6% relative to 2018 (Appendix 3), although adjusting for the aforementioned change in interconnection rates, it would have increased 4.1%.

 

We have continued with the roll out of 4G services in the country.

Central America

 

In Central America we added 1.5 million subscribers in the first quarter mostly on account of the incorporation of the subscribers of the former Telefónica operation in Guatemala. Altogether we added 1.3 million prepaid clients and 150 thousand postpaid subscribers. On the fixed-line platform we added 402 thousand RGUs which approximately half came from the aforementioned acquisition. All our organic growth stemmed from fixed-broadband accesses.

 

We began consolidating the operations of Telefónica Guatemala on February 1st. On a pro forma basis, first quarter revenues of 609 million dollars were 4.6% lower than a year before with service revenues falling 4.4%. This figure reflects exchange rates variations of most of the Central American currencies that historically had been relatively stable Vis-à-vis the dollar, including the Guatemalan Quetzal that lost 5% against the U.S. dollar. In local currency, revenues were roughly flat.

Wireless service revenues declined 4.8% since there has been an important deterioration in the conditions of Nicaragua and Honduras but also as a result of ARPU pressure in Guatemala. In the fixed segment we have experienced revenue losses across the board from voice revenues which took our fixed service revenues down 3.7%.

 

EBITDA under IFRS16 was 235 million dollars equivalent to 38.5% of revenues. Under comparable methodologies, EBITDA would have declined 5.8% pro forma as a result of revenue losses and an increase in bad debt in several countries. It also reflect one-time costs asociated to the integration of the recent acquisition.

Caribbean

 

Our combined subscriber base was just shy of six million having risen 4.9% over the year. In Dominicana we added 83 thousand new subs in the first quarter bringing the base up 5.7% from the year before, while in Puerto Rico our subscriber base was practically flat in the quarter. In Dominicana fixed RGUs of 1.9 million were up 1.8% year-on-year on the back of broadband and PayTV access growth.

 

Total revenues rose 5.2% in Dominicana with service revenue growth accelerating to 5.4%. Mobile service revenues increased 8.3% supported by strong prepaid revenues that have risen with data services. Fixed-line service revenues grew 2.0% with broadband and PayTV revenues expanding 11.9% and 8.7%, respectively. Wireline voice revenues came down following a contraction of long distance revenues in the order of 28.5%. The EBITDA figure for the quarter went up 5.8% and was equivalent to 44.5% of revenues.

 

In Puerto Rico service revenues increased 0.7% relative to the prior year. Mobile service revenues rose 2.1% while fixed service revenues declined 0.8% reflecting fixed to mobile migration as Mobile WiFi has become more widespread, especially in those areas that were severely affected by the hurricane.

 

Under the same premise, excluding extraordinary effects, EBITDA would have risen 35.1% relative to the year-earlier quarter and the EBITDA margin would have been 9.0 percentage points greater.

 

We have made important improvements in our fiber platforms and have upgraded our networks with the latest technologies consolidating our leadership position in the island.

First quarter revenues of nearly two billion dollars declined 0.6% as equipment revenues came down 6.9% over the year, which has partly to do with lower tax refunds in 2019. Service revenues were up 0.6% with ARPU rising 6.8% over the year to 26 dollars per subscriber.

 

EBITDA of 123 million dollars was down 18.9% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin stood at 6.2%

Telekom Austria Group

 

With a total of 20.9 million subscribers at the end of March, our wireless base was up 1.3% year on year, with our postpaid base up 3.6% and our prepaid base down 5.9%.On the postpaid segment we added 47 thousand contract subs in the quarter, this figure reflects net additions in Croatia and Serbia showing strong demand for mobile WiFi routers, but also a clean-up of our postpaid base in Bulgaria of 110 thousand subscribers. In prepaid we had net disconnections of 139 thousand in the quarter, including 61 thousand in Austria as a result of regulations that require registering SIM cards as of January 1st.

 

Fixed RGUs increased 3.5% year-on-year. In Austria, fixed voice RGUs came down 20 thousand lines, while Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia registered solid growth mostly due to broadband and PayTV units.

 

Group revenues increased 1.5% with service revenues rising 2.9% and equipment revenues falling 6.6%. Fixed service revenues expanded 4.6%, increasing in all markets, with particularly strong growth in ICT solutions and connectivity revenues in Austria. Altogether, our operations in Eastern Europe posted fixed service revenue growth of 12.3% over the year led by Bulgaria and Belarus.

 

On the mobile segment, group service revenues of 495 million euros were up 1.5% year over year. In Austria, this revenue line remained flat year-on-year in spite of the reduction of roaming and interconnection revenues, whereas in the other countries we posted an increase of 3.1%.

 

EBITDA was up 1.9%—excluding restructuring charges—to 395 million euros, 36.3% of revenues. In Eastern Europe EBITDA increased 11%, with all segments showing annual growth which was noteworthy in Bulgaria and Macedonia. In Austria, EBITDA declined 3.3% due to lower equipment margin and higher personnel costs.

 

We acquired spectrum rights in Austria on 100 to 140MHz in the 3.5GHz frequency depending on the region. In Croatia and Belarus we obtained spectrum rights in the 2.1 GHz frequency.

 

Telekom Austria implemented IFRS16 accounting standards on a retrospective basis. As such, the EBITDA figures have been prepared under the same methodology.
