Enclosures: Telefónica Móviles Quarterly results.
High levels of commercial activity in main areas of operation:
|
||
Over 2.3MM new customers in the first three months of the year, of which close to 2.1MM came from Latin America.

The consolidated financial statements for Telefónica Móviles Group do not include the mobile operators of Chile and Puerto Rico managed by Telefónica Móviles. As regards changes in the consolidation perimeter in the last 12 months, we would highlight the following: After the acquisition of 61.10% of the ordinary shares with voting rightsequivalent to 20.37% of the total share capitalof Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participaçoes, S.A. (TCO) through Telesp Celular Participaçoes, S.A., TCO has been fully consolidated in Brasilcels financial statements since 1 May 2003. Subsequently in 2003, TCP increased its shareholding in TCO to 86.58% of ordinary shareswhich represents 28.87% of total share capital (not including treasury stock). The sale of 100% of Telefónica Mobile Solutions to TS Telefónica Sistemas SA, a company belonging to Telefónica Group, took place in June, with effect from 31 March 2003. Since that date, it is not integrated within Telefónica Moviles consolidation perimeter. In July 2003 Medi Telecom carried out a capital increase, as a result of which Telefónica Móviles increased its stake to 32.18%. In December, 2003, Telefónica Móviles sold its Austrian subsidiary, 3GMobile Telecommunications GmbH, to the mobile operator Mobilkom Austria. As of that date, this subsidiary no longer forms part of the consolidation perimeter of the Group. In Brazil, in March 2004, the tax credits used by Tele Leste, TCO, CRT and Tele Sudeste as a result of the goodwill provided by Telefónica Móviles through Brasilcel were capitalized. This capitalization has not resulted in any cash outflow for Brasilcel, but has led to an increase in the shareholdings in these companies. |

Telefónica Móviles obtained net income of 423MM in 1Q04, an increase of 17.9% compared to the same period of 2003.
The years first quarter saw strong commercial activity in the main areas of operation despite the typical seasonal fluctuations of the business in the period. The companies managed by Telefónica Móviles achieved net adds of over 2.3MM in 1Q04 vs. 383 thousand in 1Q03, with the consequent impact on commercial costs. Telefónica Móviles ended March 2004 with 54.4MM managed customers, 30% more than in March 2003 and 5% more than in December 2003.
Including the customers from BellSouths Latin American operators1, whose acquisition was agreed in March, Telefónica Móviles would have more than 66MM managed customers.
Key aspects of these results are listed below:
Solid growth in operating revenues of 20.2% year-over-year, to 2,561MM in 1Q04. Assuming constant exchange rates and excluding the impact of changes in the consolidation perimeter, revenues would have grown 19.5% in 1Q04 year-over-year.
By components, service revenues (2,270MM) advanced 15.1% vs. 1Q03, boosted by the operators larger customer base and the increase in traffic. Handset sales (290MM) rose 84% year-over-year, due to the stronger commercial activity in 1Q04.
Telefónica Móviles España (TME) obtained operating revenue of 1,883MM in 1Q04, a year-over-year increase of 17.4%.
Operating revenues from consolidated Latin American operators showed a year-over-year increase of 29.6% in euros and accounted for 26% of Group revenues in 1Q04. Excluding the impact of exchange rates and the incorporation of TCO into the Groups consolidation perimeter, these revenues would have shown growth of 25.8% vs. 1Q03.
Increase of 12.6% in consolidated EBITDA vs. 1Q03 to 1,119MM. Excluding the impact of exchange rates and changes in the Groups consolidation perimeter, consolidated EBITDA would have grown 8.7%.
The EBITDA margin was 43.7% vs. 46.6% in 1Q03 due to the higher commercial costs recorded in 1Q04, in line with the increased commercial activity (+52% growth in consolidated companies vs. 1Q03).
TME obtained EBITDA of 1,003MM in 1Q04, 13.4% higher than in 1Q03, leaving an EBITDA margin of 53.3%. 1 Figures for BellSouths Latin American operation at the end of 1Q04, ended on February 04. |
2004 January-March |

EBITDA for the Groups consolidated Latin American subsidiaries, in euros, was virtually unchanged vs. 1Q03 due to the commercial efforts made during the period. Assuming constant exchange rates and excluding the incorporation of TCO into the Groups consolidation perimeter, these companies EBITDA would have declined 28.3%, mainly due to the higher operating losses recorded in Mexico.
As regards non-operating items, we would highlight:
Improvement in income from associated companies, as net losses from companies consolidated by the equity method were halved (-12MM vs. -24MM in 1Q03). We would highlight the 52% decrease in losses attributable to the Group through its stakes in Médi Telecom (-5MM in 1Q04) and IPSE 2000 (-6MM vs. -11MM in 1Q03).
Decrease of 29% in net financial results, due mostly to lower net financial expenses derived from the decrease in debt.
Consolidated net financial debt at the end of March 2004 stood at 4,240MM, 17% lower than at the end of 2003 and a decrease of 33% in the last 12 months.
Proportionate net financial debt at the end of March 2004 stood at 4,950MM (-15% vs. December 2003).
Stable goodwill amortization, which totalled 21MM in 1Q04.
The absence of significant extraordinary items.
In 1Q04, consolidated capex amounted to 213MM, an 43% year-over-year increase, due to higher capex deriving from the rollout of TMEs UMTS network and the GSM networks in Argentina and Mexico.
Despite the growth in capex, the favourable performance of operating results enabled to increase consolidated free cash flow generation2 to 640MM in 1Q04.
Starting in March 2004, and as a result of the commercial launch of the UMTS service in Spain in February, the Group no longer capitalizes the spectrum fee assigned to TME for the operation of UMTS technology, and related expenses capitalised up to now have started being depreciated. 2 Consolidated Free Cash Flow = EBIT (1-t) + Depreciation - Capex - Capitalized Opex |

The following significant events took place during the last few months:
On March 8th Telefónica Móviles announced it has reached an agreement with BellSouth to acquire all its cellular assets in Latin America, which at the end of 1Q04 totalled 11.6 million customers.
The transaction is still subject to due diligence and the pertinent regulatory and governmental approvals.
On March 29th, the mobile alliance formed by Orange SA, Telefónica Móviles, TIM and T-Mobile announced tangible results of its collaboration, outlined plans for the future and unveiled its new brand, FreeMove.

The Spanish cellular market had an estimated 38.3MM customers at the end of March 2004, 11% more than a year ago, leading to an estimated penetration rate of 89.6%, more than 7 p.p. higher than in March 2003. | |||||||||||
Against this backdrop, TME ended March 2004 with a total of 19.9MM customers (+7% vs. 1Q03), with net adds for the quarter of 278 thousand customers, virtually the same as in 1Q03. | |||||||||||
As regards customer loyalty activities, the high pace of prepaid to contract migrations seen throughout 2003 continued in 1Q04. In 1Q04 there were close to 310 thousand migrations (+25% vs. 2003), the second highest figure in the Companys history after 4Q03. This has helped the weight of the contract segment within TMEs total customer base to continue growing, to 41.7% (36.4% in 1Q03). | |||||||||||
The volume of handset upgrades in 1Q04 was 848 thousand, similar to 1Q03. Customer loyalty efforts have centred on the contract segment, where there were over 570 thousand handset upgrades in 1Q04 (+6.6% vs. 1Q03). | |||||||||||
We would also underscore the increase in the weighting of portability initiatives in commercial activity in 1Q04, after the introduction of more automatic exchange processes at the end of 2003. TME has a positive cumulative portability balance despite aggressive competition in this area. | |||||||||||
The commercial effort was accompanied by solid growth in usage and revenues. In 1Q04, traffic carried on TMEs networks was close to 9,865MM air minutes, a year-over-year increase of 17%. | |||||||||||
As for customer usage ratios, the high MOU growth recorded in the last five quarters continued in 1Q04. MOU for 1Q04 was 116 minutes, 9% higher than in 1Q03 but 2% lower than in 4Q03 due to seasonal factors. By segments, we would highlight the stability of prepaid MOU despite the Companys intensive migration activity. Growth in contract MOU continued to increase (+1% vs. 1Q03). | |||||||||||
As for short messages, the Companys networks carried a total of 2,355MM SMS in 1Q04 (+10% vs. 1Q03). Of this, 32% were related to content access and value added services. |
2004 January-March |

With respect to other kinds of data services, we would underline the steady growth of Multimedia Messaging, i-mode services and the larger number of users of GPRS technology services. | ||
We would also highlight the launch of a new MoviStar brand handset, the MoviStar TSM500, a tri-band mobile-PDA with GPRS data capacity, Bluetooth technology, MMS and an embedded camera. | ||
In the area of corporate services, we would highlight that more than 600 large companies have signed up for the MoviStar Intranet service with TME. | ||
Overall, total data revenues in 1Q04 exceeded 230MM (+17% vs 1Q03), which represents a year-over-year increase of +10% in quarterly data ARPU to 3.9, extending the growth trend in this indicator seen in recent quarters. Of total data revenues generated, 26.8% came from non person-to-person SMS services | ||
Accordingly, average revenue per user and month (ARPU) continued to show solid growth, with a year-over-year increase of 7% in 1Q04 to 29.5 despite including the full impact of the reduction in termination fees approved at the end of 2003. Although traditional seasonal factors usually cause ARPU to decline in the first quarter of the year compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year, this time the decline was only 2%. By segments, prepaid ARPU performed very positively, showing year-over-year growth for the second consecutive quarter (+2.7%). Contract ARPU was virtually stable, only declining 0.6%, despite the larger weighting of residential customers due to the flow of migrations from prepaid. | ||
Alongside the performance of traffic and revenues, continued efforts to streamline expenses and capex resulted in solid financial results: | ||
Operating revenues in 1Q04 were 1,883MM (+17% vs. 1Q03). This performance was underpinned by growth in both service revenues (+13.4%) and handset sales (+75.4%), the latter fuelled by the increased commercial activity and to timing differences in stocks in the distribution network compared to last year. |

Due to this last factor, the pace of growth in revenues recorded in 1Q04 is likely to ease in coming quarters, in line with the target of achieving year-over-year growth of over 9% for the whole of 2004. |
||
Despite an increase of over 17% in commercial activity, the weight of subscriber acquisition and retention costs over operating revenues in 1Q04 stood at 8.3%, 1 p.p. more than a year ago. |
||
EBITDA in 1Q04 reached 1,002.7MM, an increase of 13.4% vs. 1Q03. This represents an EBITDA margin of 53.3%, keeping Telefónica Móviles España as one of the sectors most efficient companies. |
||
The 1.9 p.p. decline in the margin compared to 1Q03 was due mainly to increased commercial activity and the larger weighting of handset sales. Also, since 1 March, in line with the commercial launch of Oficin@ Movistar UMTS, the fee for using the UMTS spectrum has no longer been capitalized nor have the other expenses related to this technology, with the consequent effect on EBITDA (3.8MM), and UMTS-related expenses capitalised up to now have started being depreciated, with an 4.5MM impact on depreciation. |
||
Capex in 1Q04 totalled 137MM, an increase of 23% on the same quarter of last year due to the efforts being made to roll out the new UMTS network. |

Growth in the customer base of 21% year-over-year. Sharp improvement in profitability and cash flow generation
Médi Telecom ended March with 2.042MM customers, a year-over-year increase above 21%. The customer base contracted slightly in 1Q04 after the sharp volume of customer acquisition in 4Q03 and the decline in prepaid recharge promotions in the period.
Nonetheless, both revenues and EBITDA continue to advance, driven by traffic growth and cost control. Revenues grew by 17% year-over-year in 1Q04 and EBITDA by +64%, to 31MM. More noteworthy was the 43% EBITDA margin for the period, far higher than in any quarter of last year.
The positive performance of operating results and the cutback in capex enabled operating cash flow (EBITDAcapex) to exceed 25MM, more than76% of the total generated in 2003.
The Company estimates than in the coming quarters, especially during summer, there will be an increase in commercial activity. |

The Brazilian cellular market continued to grow rapidly in 1Q04 despite the typical seasonal fluctuations of the business in this period. Against this backdrop, Vivo has led the growth of the market in general and in the regions where it operates, with an estimated average share of net adds of 49% in 1Q04. Accordingly, its market share was virtually unchanged from December 2003 at 45% for Brazil as a whole and an average of 56% in its areas of operation.
Vivo ended March 2004 with 21.875MM customers, capturing more than 1.2MM customers in 1Q04. We would highlight the strong commercial activity in TCP and TCOs areas of operations, with VIVO achieving 815 thousand net adds.
Vivo reached the 22MM customers mark in the first week of April.
Despite strong growth in recent months, mobile telephony penetration in Vivos areas of operation at the end of 1Q04 was 30%, well below figures for other markets with similar per capita income indicating the high growth potential that still exists in the regions where Vivo operates.
Total MOU in 1Q04 was 93 minutes (-10% vs. 4Q03), while total ARPU was 35 reais (-10% vs. 4Q03). This performance was shaped by seasonal factors typical of the years first quarter, traffic promotions of gross adds during the Christmas campaign and the impact of the sharp growth in the customer base.
Figures for 1Q04 are not comparable with 1Q03 due to the incorporation of TCO to the consolidation perimeter and the migration to SMP.
The sustained growth in the contribution of data services should also be mentioned, as these represented 4.4% of VIVOs service revenues, more than double the weighting in 1Q03.
As regards VIVOs results, operating revenues in 1Q04 including TCOs results from 1 May 2003 showed growth in local currency of 43% vs. 1Q03, driven by service revenues (+40%) and the increased commercial activity. Excluding TCOs contribution, operating revenues would have grown 16.8%.
Despite the stronger commercial activity, improvements in efficiency and economies of scale enabled the company to obtain an EBITDA margin after management fees of 40%, with absolute growth, in local currency, in EBITDA of 45% vs. 1Q03 (17% ex-TCO). |

1Q04 featured intense commercial activity in the Mexican market, where Telefónica Móviles México (TMM) has consolidated its position as the second-largest cellular operator and made progress towards its goal of achieving critical mass in customers.
We would also highlight the progress in the rollout of the GSM network, extending coverage to 112 cities in March vs. 96 in December 2003.
Thanks to the efforts made in 1Q04including the extension of the Christmas campaign into the first few days of JanuaryTMM achieved net adds of 318 thousand customers, well above 1Q03 net adds (11 thousand) and higher than the combined total for the first nine months of 2003.
The operator ended March with a customer base of close to 3.8MM (+9% vs. 4Q03 and +55% vs. 1Q03). Growth was driven by gross adds of GSM customers, who now represent 38% of the total customer base, 12 p.p. more than in December 2003.
In line with the strong growth of the customer base, MOU in 1Q04 was 61 minutes, while ARPU reached 174 Mexican pesos (-21.2% vs. 1Q03). Comparisons of MOU and ARPU with 1Q03 and 4Q03 are affected by the rapid growth of the customer base and seasonal factors.
Against this backdrop, operating revenues in local currency increased by 43.8% in 1Q04 vs. 1Q03, boosted by higher service revenues (+21% vs. 1Q03) and handset sales. Meanwhile, the costs deriving from the increased commercial activity and the rollout of the GSM network led to an EBITDA loss of 47.3MM in 1Q04.
Capex in 1Q04 totalled 26MM, with capex committed up to 31 March 2004 of 255MM. |

The growth of the Argentine mobile market continues to accelerate, with an estimated penetration of 22% and cellular lines outstripping the number of fixed lines in 1Q04.
In this context, Unifóns customer base ended March 2004 at 1,970MM, with year-over-year growth of 27% (+8% vs. December 2003). We would highlight the growth in net addsmore than 146 thousand customersafter the negative figure in 1Q03. The level even surpassed that of 4Q03 despite the typical seasonality of the business in the first quarter.
Customer usage indicators continued to rise despite the growth of the customer base, with the company registering a sharp increase in MOU (+27% vs. 1Q03). The growth in MOU, coupled with larger customer base, boosted total traffic in minutes by more than 50% vs. 1Q03, while ARPU registered year-over-year growth of 26%, fuelled by the increase in MOU.
Unifón recorded a year-over-year increase in operating revenues of 54% in pesos in 1Q04, boosted by the larger customer base and increased traffic, as well as higher handset sales.
Despite the increase in commercial activity vs. 1Q03, EBITDA in pesos rose 9%, with an EBITDA margin of 22.7%.
As in previous quarters, we would highlight the good performance of revenues in euros (+44%) despite the negative impact of exchange rates in the last 12 months.
Lastly, regarding capex, we would point out that the rollout of the GSM has begun this year. Phases I and II were completed by the end of 1Q04, providing coverage to nearly 9MM POPS. Commercialisation of the service was launched at the end of March in AMBA (the federal capital and greater Buenos Aires), Mendoza and Mar del Plata.
Total capex for Unifón in 1Q04 was 25MM, with capex committed at 31 March 2004 of 72MM.

The Peruvian mobile market ended 1Q04 with an estimated 3.1MM customers, with penetration of 11.4%, 3 p.p. higher than at the end of 1Q03. In the country as a whole, mobile telephony users now outnumber fixed lines.
TM Perú continued with a high commercial activity in 1Q04, achieving net adds of over 128 thousand customers. It continued to lead market growth, with an estimated share of net adds of 60%. TM Perú ended 1Q04 with 1.6MM customers, a year-over-year increase of 32%.
Efforts in customer acquisition led to growth in both the contract and prepaid segments, of 7% and 39%, respectively, vs. 1Q03.
It is also worth noting that at the end of 1Q04, four months after the launch of the CDMA 2000 1xRTT network, more then 15% of the customer base has a handset with this technology.
As regards results, TM Perús 1Q04 operating revenues in local currency showed an increase of 5.1% vs. 1Q03. This was mostly due to the positive performance of revenues from outgoing traffic, which were partially offset by lower interconnection revenues.
In line with the increase in operating expenses deriving from the intense commercial activity, EBITDA in local currency declined by 25.6% vs. 1Q03, leaving an EBITDA margin of 25.5%. |

As regards financial results, we would highlight the 19% year-over-year increase in revenues, in euros assuming constant exchange rates, fuelled by the growth of the customer base. Despite the commercial effort in 1Q04, the EBITDA margin was 5.5 p.p. higher than in 1Q03 thanks to the one-off expenses registered in 1Q03.
