On March 14, 2007, the Board of Directors resolved to call for series "L" Special and Annual Shareholders' Meetings, to be held on April 27, 2007, in order to discuss, among other matters, the following proposals: the presentation of the Chief Executive Officer's report, the financial statements for fiscal year 2006 and other reports required by law; the designation or ratification, as the case may be, of the members of the Board of Directors; the ratification of the activities of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer; to declare a cash dividend of $0.45 Mexican pesos per outstanding share in four equal payments of $0.1125 Mexican pesos per share, resulting from the net tax profit account. Dividend payments are proposed to be made in Mexico on June 21, 2007, September 20, 2007, December 20, 2007, and March 27, 2008. Also, shareholders will be asked to approve an increase of 15 billion Mexican pesos in the funds allocated to purchase the company's own shares.
Negotiations to acquire a stake in Olimpia
On April 1, 2007, TELMEX announced that in conjunction with América Móvil S.A.B. de C.V. ("América Móvil"), that it reached an exclusive agreement with Pirelli & C.S.p.A to acquire from Pirelli and Sintonia one third of the share capital of Italian company Olimpia. This company owns 18% of the total stock of Telecom Italia. TELMEX and América Móvil will acquire one third of the stock of Olimpia, in equal parts. The other third of the stock would be purchased by U.S. telecommunications company AT&T.
On April 16, TELMEX announced that after the withdrawal by U.S. telecommunications company AT&T from the negotiations, it will continue, in conjunction with América Móvil, considering different alternatives for a potential investment in Olimpia.
Acquisition of Cablecentro and Satelcaribe in Colombia
On April 4, 2007, TELMEX announced that it reached an agreement with the controlling partners of Unión de Cableoperadores del Centro, Cablecentro S.A. and the controlling partners of Satelcaribe S.A. to acquire 100% of the operations of Cablecentro and Satelcaribe.
Both transactions are subject to corresponding regulatory approvals and other conditions.
Issuance of Domestic Senior Notes ("Certificados Bursátiles") for 9.5 billion pesos
On April 23, 2007, TELMEX placed Domestic Senior Notes ("Certificados Bursátiles") for 9.5 billion pesos in two tranches, the first one for 5 billion pesos due in 30 years at a fixed rate of 8.36% and the second one for 4.5 billion pesos due in 5 years at a rate of TIIE less 10 basis points.
Consolidated Income Statements
Revenues: In the first quarter, consolidated revenues increased 2.5% compared with the same period of the previous year, reaching 45.143 billion pesos, mainly due to the increase of 13% in Internet revenues, 28% in interconnection revenues related to revenues from domestic and international calling party pays service, and 44.6% in other revenues, comprised primarily of Yellow Pages and Tiendas TELMEX (TELMEX stores). On the other hand, local service revenues, domestic long distance and international long distance revenues decreased 3.1%, 3.2% and 10.2%, respectively.
Costs and expenses: From January to March, costs and expenses increased 4.2% compared with the same period of 2006, totaling 31.747 billion pesos. Major factors in those results were the increase in interconnection charges in Mexico from the introduction of domestic and international calling party pays in November 2006 and higher costs related to computer sales and the integration of cable TV companies in Colombia. These effects were partially offset by initiatives that were carried out to optimize resource use.
EBITDA (1) and operating income: Consolidated EBITDA (1) totaled 19.509 billion pesos in the first quarter, a decrease of 2.2% compared with the same period of 2006. The EBITDA margin was 43.2%. Consolidated operating income totaled 13.396 billion pesos, 1.2% lower than the first quarter of 2006, with a margin of 29.7%, 1.1 percentage points lower than the first quarter of 2006.
Comprehensive financing cost: Comprehensive financing cost produced a charge of 1.123 billion pesos in the quarter, 2.5% lower that the same period of 2006. This resulted from: i) net interest expense of 1.441 billion pesos, reflecting an increase in the level of debt from a year earlier and a change in the market value of 14.160 billion pesos of interest rate swaps, ii) a net exchange loss of 406 million pesos from the first-quarter exchange rate devaluation of 0.1752 pesos per dollar, partially offset by 6.040 billion dollars in dollar-peso hedges (weighted average exchange rate: 11.06 pesos per dollar) and 620 million dollars in dollar-reais hedges (weighted average exchange rate: 2.2159 reais per dollar), and iii) a gain in the monetary position of 724 million pesos.
Majority net income: Majority net income in the first quarter totaled 8.780 billion pesos, 9.1% higher than the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share were 44 Mexican cents, an increase of 15.8% compared with the same period of the previous year, and earnings per ADR were 80 US cents, an increase of 23.1% compared with the same period of 2006.
Investments: In the quarter, consolidated capital expenditures (capex) was the equivalent of 267 million dollars, of which 78.6% was used for growth projects in the voice, data and transport infrastructure, 18.9% for operational support projects and operating needs, and 2.5% for social telephony.
Debt: Gross total debt at March 31 was the equivalent of 9.542 billion dollars, an increase of 1.695 billion dollars from a year ago. Consolidated net debt (3) increased in the quarter the equivalent of approximately 127 million dollars, totaling 7.646 billion dollars.
(3) Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Repurchase of shares: In the first quarter the company used 5.528 billion pesos to repurchase 333 million 265 thousand of its own shares.
Mexico Operating Results
Lines in service
In Mexico, there are hundreds of concessionaires and/or licenses to provide telecommunications services. TELMEX is the only company that invests in every socio-economic segment and in segments A and B we have a market share of 66% where we compete with other operators, specifically in segment A we have a market share of 49.7% and in segment B, we have a market share of 72.8%. Our long-standing commitment to provide telecommunications services nationwide has led to being the only fixed line operator in the country with a presence in socio-economic segments C-, D and E.
From January to March, lines increased 33 thousand from year-end 2006, bringing the total at the end of the first quarter to 18.3 million lines in service. During the quarter, we continued to focus on growth with profitability to satisfy the service needs of every segment of the population.
Local traffic
During the first quarter, local traffic decreased 5.6% compared with the same period in 2006, with a total of 6.278 billion local calls. Local traffic volume has been affected by intense competition from local and wireless telephony and by the migration of our switched traffic to corporate networks, a trend that strengthens the data business although it adversely affects local traffic. Also affecting local traffic results is the continuing migration of dial-up Internet services to Infinitum broadband services (ADSL).
Long distance traffic
Domestic long distance (DLD) increased 2.2% compared with the first quarter of 2006, totaling 4.470 billion minutes, mainly due to the introduction of packages that provide incentives for usage but at the same time reduce revenue per unit and for the integration of domestic calling party pays service, which reached 564 million minutes in the quarter.
In the quarter, outgoing international long distance (ILD) traffic increased 2.2% totaling 477 million minutes due to package offerings. ILD incoming long distance traffic including international calling party pays traffic increased 20.5% compared with the same period of the previous year, totaling 1.988 billion minutes. The incoming-outgoing ratio was 4.2.
Interconnection
In the first quarter, interconnection traffic increased 20.2%, totaling 10.833 billion minutes. Calling party pays traffic increased 64.8% since it includes traffic from domestic and international calling party pays. If we eliminate this effect, calling party pays traffic would have increased 6.8%. Traffic from local and international operators, as well as traffic generated by cellular companies that is terminated in TELMEX's network increased 4.5% and 28.8%, respectively, compared with the same period of the previous year.
Internet and Corporate networks
In Mexico during the first quarter, we added 304 thousand broadband Prodigy Infinitum (ADSL) customers, bringing the total to 2.1 million services, an increase of 75.3% compared with the same period of 2006. The growth of Internet services has been supported by the sale of PC's.
To facilitate Internet access, TELMEX has eased acquisition of computer equipment by providing financing for up to 3 years. That program has resulted in the supply of 1 million 134 thousand computers. In addition, more than 31 thousand computers have been donated in key sectors like education where they contribute to the development of the country. There is still a wide margin for growth since only 20.5% of households in Mexico have at least one computer, according to the INEGI (National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Data Processing).
Our world-class technological platform allows us to offer high speed Internet service in 93.7% of TELMEX 's network. In order to increase broadband service penetration as well as continue our commitment to develop digital culture in Mexico, during the first quarter of 2007 we enhanced the Infinitum offering by integrating new multi-service packages with voice services at preferred prices. Additionally, the broadband Internet access price per equivalent unit of 100 Kbps at present is 26 pesos plus 3.9 pesos of Value Added Tax, for a total of 29.9 pesos, and technological advances will allow the price to continue to decline.
Billed line equivalents to corporate customers increased 11.1% compared with the previous year, totaling 2.3 million line equivalents of 64 Kbps.
Mexico Financial Results
Revenues: Revenues in the first quarter totaled 32.6 billion pesos, an increase of 3.3% compared with the same period of the previous year, due the increases of 14.5% in revenues of Internet access, 33.5% in interconnection revenues because of the introduction of domestic and international calling party pays, and 40.9% in other revenues, mainly comprised by Yellow Pages and Tiendas TELMEX (TELMEX Stores), partially offset by the rate reduction in real terms of local and long distance services, as well as the introduction of packages that increased voice services usage but decreased the revenue per unit.
Costs and expenses: In the first quarter, total costs and expenses were 20.6 billion pesos, an increase of 4.6%. This increase was due to higher interconnection costs (domestic and international calling party pays). If this effect were eliminated, costs and expenses would have decreased 2.6% as a result of cost control initiatives, as well as lower depreciation and amortization charges.
EBITDA (1) and operating income: EBITDA (1) totaled 16.4 billion pesos in the first quarter, a decrease of 0.9% compared with the same period of last year. The EBITDA margin was 50.3%. Operating income totaled 11.9 billion pesos, 1.1% higher than the first quarter of 2006, and the operating margin was 36.6%.
Investments: In Mexico, total capital expenditures (capex) were 134 million dollars, of which 83.9% was used for growth and modernization projects for the voice, data and transport infrastructure, 10.9% for operational support projects and operating needs, and 5.2% for social telephony.
Debt: At March 31, total debt was the equivalent of 8.277 billion dollars, an increase of 1.169 billion dollars compared with last year. Net debt (3) in Mexico increased the equivalent of 632 million dollars to a total of 6.794 billion dollars.
(3) Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Latin America Financial Results
The following financial information is presented in the local currency of the country in which each Latin America subsidiary operates, according to that country's generally accepted accounting principles, and is based on continuing operations before eliminating inter-company operations among companies of the TELMEX Group.
At Embratel, efforts have been focused on consolidating its position in the data business for the commercial segment and increasing local service offerings, resulting in an increase of 29.3% in billed line equivalents and an increase in lines in service of 32.2% compared with the first quarter of 2006. Local and domestic long distance traffic showed increases of 24.2% and 3.8% in the quarter, respectively. At March 31, the company provided Net Fone (triple play) services through Net Serviços infrastructure to 257 thousand customers.
In the first quarter, revenues from the operations in Brazil totaled 2.115 billion reais, 3.8% higher than the same quarter of the previous year. Higher revenues were mainly due to the 36.7% increase in local services and the 2.6% increase in data services. These revenues were offset by the 12.4% decrease in international long distance revenues due to the 7.9% reduction in the average revenue per unit.
Total costs and expenses were 1.885 billion reais, an increase of 5%. The increase was due to higher charges for maintenance and costs of equipment (handsets) generated by higher local service sales and to the increase in provisions for uncollectables.
EBITDA (1) totaled 535 million reais in the first quarter, an increase of 1.4% compared with the same period of the previous year, with a margin of 25.3%. Operating income totaled 230 million reais in the quarter, a decrease of 4.6% compared with the same period of 2006. The operating margin was 10.9%
Argentina
In the quarter, revenues from the operations in Argentina totaled 87.3 million Argentinean pesos, an increase of 4.9% compared with the same period of the previous year due to increases in revenues in the corporate and Internet businesses and local services of 19% and 33.3%, respectively, offset by the decrease in interconnection revenues with other operators.
Operating costs and expenses totaled 86.1 million Argentinean pesos in the quarter, a decrease of 2% due to the decline in transport and interconnection costs, offset by higher network maintenance costs due to growth in local services. In the quarter, EBITDA (1) totaled 17 million Argentinean pesos, an increase of 154% compared with the same period of 2006 with a margin of 19.5%. Operating income reached 1.2 million Argentinean pesos in the quarter compared with a loss of 4.7 million Argentinean pesos in the same period of the previous year.
Colombia
In Colombia, revenues totaled 59.828 billion Colombian pesos in the first quarter, 42.2% higher than the same period of 2006. Higher revenues were mainly due to the integration of sites for several corporate customers and the integration of Superview (a cable TV company) since November 2006, which contributed 12.619 billion Colombian pesos to first-quarter results.
Costs and expenses increased 63.7%, totaling 47.264 billion Colombian pesos, mainly due to the incorporation of Superview, which accounted for 12.812 billion Colombian pesos, to higher personnel expenses to develop the small and medium-sized market in this country, and to expenses related to the acquisition of cable TV companies. Operating income totaled 12.563 billion Colombian pesos compared with operating income of 13.192 billion Colombian pesos in the year-ago first quarter, a decrease of 4.8%. The operating margin was 21%. EBITDA (1) totaled 23.039 billion Colombian pesos with a margin of 38.5%, compared with EBITDA (1) of 20.469 billion Colombian pesos in the same period of the previous year.
Chile
In the first quarter, revenues totaled 17.058 billion Chilean pesos, an increase of 1.1% compared with the same period of 2006. Revenues from the corporate networks, Internet access and local service businesses increased 27.8%, 7.6% and 57.2%, respectively, compared with the same quarter of 2006. The Chilean long distance market continues to decrease due to the migration to mobile services and private networks, which caused a decline in long distance revenues of 10.8%, compared with the first quarter of the previous year.
Costs and expenses in the first quarter totaled 18.413 billion Chilean pesos, an increase of 15.3% compared with the same period of 2006. Costs of sales and services increased 23.7% due to the increase in network maintenance costs related to growth in local services. Commercial, administrative and general expenses increased 22.5% due to higher personnel and advertising expenses. In the quarter, there was an operating loss of 1.356 billion Chilean pesos compared with operating income of 904 million Chilean pesos in the same period of the previous year. EBITDA (1) in the quarter totaled 2.100 billion Chilean pesos with a margin of 12.3%.
Peru
From January to March, total revenues were 56.3 million New Soles, an increase of 11% compared with the same period of 2006. The data business, which represents 35.5% of revenues, increased 22%. Voice business revenues increased 1.5% due to the 29.6% increase in lines in service that offset the decrease in interconnection revenues with other operators.
In the quarter, costs and expenses grew 12.6% due to the increase of 10.6% in transport and interconnection costs compared with 2006. Operating income in the quarter totaled 0.9 million New Soles compared with 1.5 million New Soles in the same period of 2006. EBITDA (1) in the first quarter totaled 14.4 million New Soles, at a similar level of the same period of 2006.
