América Móvil's Consolidated Results for the Third Quarter of 2004
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented in this document is stated in constant pesos with purchasing power as of September 30, 2004. As a result of Mexican inflation during the first nine months of 2004, the purchasing power of one peso as of December 31, 2003 is equivalent to the purchasing power of 1.0333 pesos as of September 30, 2004. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented in this document is not directly comparable to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 (the "2003 20-F"), because they are stated in constant pesos as of different dates. The audited consolidated financial information presented in the 2003 20-F is presented in constant pesos as of December 31, 2003.
On October 25, 2004, we announced our results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. The following table sets forth summary condensed consolidated financial data of América Móvil for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

We recorded operating revenues of Ps. 93,265 million for the first nine months of 2004, a 51.6% increase from the same period in 2003. This increase in revenues reflects principally subscriber growth, as well as acquisitions. We had approximately 54.1 million wireless subscribers as of September 30, 2004, as compared to 50.3 million as of June 30, 2004. As of September 30, 2004, we had approximately 26.8 million wireless subscribers in Mexico and 12.0 million wireless subscribers in Brazil, as compared to 25.6 million and 11.1 million as of June 30, 2004, respectively. In relative terms, Argentina has accounted for the highest rate of growth in subscribers in our markets during the first nine months of 2004, with an increase of approximately 86% to 2.6 million since December 31, 2003. Our operations in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States have experienced subscriber growth rates ranging from 26% to 30%. Although Mexico has been the largest contributor to subscriber growth in absolute terms during the first nine months of 2004, Mexico has been our slowest growing market in relative terms, with 14.4% growth from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004. We also had 1.9 million fixed lines in Central America at September 30, 2004.
For the first nine months of 2004, our operating income totaled Ps. 18,082 million, a 36.0% increase compared to the same period in 2003. As a percentage of our operating revenues, operating income during the first nine months of 2004 decreased to 19.4% as compared to 21.6% during the first nine months of 2003. The decrease in operating margin was due principally to increased subscriber acquisition costs in Argentina, Colombia and particularly Brazil, and larger than anticipated costs in connection with the start-up of operations in the regions of Bahia-Sergipe and Paraná-Santa Catarina in Brazil. During the first nine months of 2004, we reported positive operating income in all of our geographic markets, other than Brazil and Argentina. Our depreciation and amortization expenses in Brazil and Argentina have increased significantly as a result of the rollout of new GSM networks in these markets.
For the first nine months of 2004, we had net income of Ps. 14,613 million, a 45.7% increase compared to the Ps. 10,032 million reported during the first nine months of 2003. The increase in net income principally was attributable to the higher operating income discussed above. Basic net income per share was Ps. 1.18 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.
At September 30, 2004, we had indebtedness of Ps. 53,969 million, of which Ps.6,793 million (or 12.6%) was classified as short-term. At September 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents amounted to Ps. 12,063 million. During the first nine months of 2004, we used approximately Ps. 10.5 billion to pay dividends and repurchase our shares, of which Ps. 3.1 billion was used for these purposes during the third quarter of 2004. We have accrued approximately Ps. 14.9 billion in capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2004, of which a portion has already been paid and a portion was included as accounts payable at September 30, 2004. Our accounts payable at September 30, 2004 amounted to Ps. 28,045 million. At September 30, 2004, we had total assets of Ps. 175,655 million, total liabilities of Ps. 96,185 million and total stockholders' equity of Ps. 79,470 million.
