FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

    Solid value growth: LTE (2.1x year-on-year), smartphones (+18%), fibre + VDSL (+31%) and TV (+5%).

 

    Quarterly revenues reached 12,723 million euros (-0.2% organic year-on-year; -7.7% reported).

 

    Service revenues posted solid growth of +1.5% organic year-on-year; handset revenues -18.0% year-on-year.

 

    Broadband connectivity revenues increased by 15.3% organic year-on-year in April-June.

 

    Growth of OIBDA in the quarter to 3,918 million euros (+0.8% organic; -7.1% reported).

 

    Solid margin (30.8%; +0.3 percentage points organic year-on-year); capture of synergies and efficiencies.

 

    CapEx for the semester (+2.9% organic year-on-year) was focused on the transformation of networks and systems. Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) increased by 3.3% organic year-on-year.

 

    32.9 million homes passed with fibre (+14% year-on-year); 55% LTE coverage (84% in Europe).

 

    During the first six months, free cash flow increased to 815 million euros and net income to 1,241 million euros (0.23 euros per share).

 

    Net financial debt stood at 52,568 million euros after the dividend payment in the quarter.

 

    Telefónica reiterated its 2016 guidance and dividend and the leverage ratio for the mid-term.

 

    T. España maintained a positive trend in line with the new growth cycle and the commercial activity improved, with a widespread reduction of churn. The initial savings from the employment suspension plan contributed to the OIBDA year-on-year growth (+2.6% year-on-year excluding non-recurrents). Operating cash flow returned to growth for the first time since the third quarter of 2013.

 

    T. Brasil maintained solid financial results with year-on-year growth of revenue, OIBDA, operating cash flow (+35.3% organic year-on-year in the quarter) and margins expansion thanks to its data-centric and quality strategy along with the capture of synergies and efficiencies.

 

    T. Deutschland continued to present an increase in its profitability and growth of operating cash flow (+17.3% year-on-year in the quarter) in a context of higher competitive intensity in particular segments. In parallel, further progress was made in the integration of E-Plus and generation of synergies.

 

    T. UK posted its best commercial performance in the last 6 quarters (net mobile additions of 240 thousand), leveraging the O2 brand recognition, the success of its commercial offering and the high customer base loyalty.

 

    T. Hispanoamérica, one growth driver of the Group, continued to make progress in implementing its value-focussed strategy, thus enabling the expansion of year-on-year revenues, underpinned by the fixed business (+16.1% organic in the quarter). Profitability was affected by the higher level of competition and commercial effort in some markets.

Comments from José María Álvarez-Pallete, Executive Chairman:

“Our second quarter results reflect the benefits of Telefónica’s structural transformation, which allowed us to build the future, driving our innovative capabilities and Big Data. The network improvements through excellent connectivity, together with the differentiation and quality of our products and services, have been key to the success of our commercial activity, focused on value, and improved customer loyalty.

All this is reflected in the continued profitable growth another quarter, which along with the capture of synergies and efficiencies, was the main growth lever for service revenue, OIBDA, operating cash flow and margin expansion.

These results and the expected improvement of free cash flow generation in the second half of the year, allow us to confirm 2016 guidance, including the dividend (0.75 euros per share) and the leverage ratio in the mid-term.”

The financial information related to January-June 2016 contained in this document has been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, which do not differ for the purposes of the Telefónica Group, from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Telefónica’s management model, regional and integrated, means that the legal structure of the companies is not relevant for the release of Group financial information, and therefore, the operating results of each of these business units are presented independently, regardless of their legal structure. For the purpose of presenting information on a business unit basis, revenue and expenses arising from invoicing among companies within Telefónica’s perimeter of consolidation for the use of the brand and management contracts have been excluded from the operating results for each business unit. This breakdown of the results does not affect Telefónica’s consolidated earnings.

The English language translation of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish has been prepared solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. Despite all the efforts devoted to this translation, certain omissions or approximations may subsist. Telefónica, its representatives and employees decline all responsibility in this regard. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

From the second quarter of 2016 Telefónica’s operations in the United Kingdom are no longer reported as discontinued operations within Telefónica Group and all its assets and liabilities have ceased to be reported as “held for sale”, and have been reclassified back into full consolidation within Telefónica Group financial statements, in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For comparative purposes, the 2015 results of Telefónica Group and the first quarter of 2016 are reported following the same criteria.

The continued commitment to attracting and retaining higher quality customers translated into a positive performance of: i) LTE customers, with net additions of 6.2 million, a customer base 2.1 times greater than that of the previous year and penetration of 19% (+10 percentage points year-on-year); ii) mobile contract accesses (+6% year-on-year and with growth across all segments) increased their weight by 3 percentage points to 39% over the total and recorded net additions of 1.2 million in the quarter; iii) smartphones (+18% year-on-year) presented net additions of 1.7 million and a penetration of 51% (+9 percentage points year-on-year); iv) pay TV customers grew 5% year-on-year and now represent 49% of total fixed broadband accesses (+1 percentage points vs. the previous year); and v) fibre and VDSL accesses (+31% year-on-year) increased their weight by 10 percentage points to 40% over total fixed broadband and recorded net additions of 447 thousand.

Thus, the quality of the customer base is reflected in the 3.2% growth in average revenue per access vs. the first semester 2015 and the levels of loyalty (churn) continued to improve sequentially across all segments. Total accesses increased to 347.5 million, 2% less than at the close of June 2015, affected mainly by fewer lower mobile prepay customers in Brazil.

The performance of the main financial variables in the second quarter was affected by the depreciation of the currencies against the euro, fundamentally the Brazilian real, Argentine peso and the sterling pound. Thus, the variation in exchange rates deducted 9.1 percentage points from the year-on-year change in revenues and 7.9 percentage points from OIBDA in the quarter (-11.7 percentage points and -10.7 percentage points in the semester, respectively) and therefore reduced vs. the first quarter due to the improved performance of the Brazilian real and the Venezuelan bolivar. At the same time, currency depreciations reduced euro payments of investments, taxes and financial expenses, posting a positive impact on cash flow generation in the first half of the year.

Meanwhile, changes in the perimeter of consolidation in the April-June period contributed 1.5 percentage points to reported year-on-year revenue growth and 0.8 percentage points to OIBDA (+3.3 percentage points and +2.3 percentage points respectively, in the first six months), reducing vs. the previous quarter, as GVT and DTS were incorporated in the perimeter of consolidation in May 2015.

In the quarter, revenues increased to 12,723 million euros and remained practically stable vs. the previous year in organic terms (-0.2%; -7.7% reported), thanks to the positive contribution of T Hispanoamérica (+0.9 percentage points) and T. Brasil (+0.2 percentage points), partially offsetting the decreases in T. Deutschland (-0.8 percentage points) and T. UK (-0.6 percentage points).

In the first six months, revenues grew by 1.3% year-on-year in organic terms (25,235 million; -7.1% reported). Excluding regulatory impacts, revenues in the April-June period presented slight year-on-year growth of 0.6% in the quarter (+2.2% in the first half).

Thus, the slowdown in revenues year-on-year in organic terms vs. the first quarter (-2.9 percentage points) is principally explained by the lower weight of T. Venezuela, having adjusted the exchange rate in the second quarter of 2015, and to a lesser extent due to the greater decrease in handset revenues.

While quarterly revenues remained stable year-on-year, higher-quality revenues maintained a solid pace of growth. As such, service revenues grew 1.5% year-on-year in organic terms in the second quarter (+2.7% in the semester). Across all the business units, the year-on-year growth of service revenues was higher than that of total growth. Handset revenues decreased by 18.0% year-on-year in April-June, 9.0 percentage points more than in the first quarter (-13.6% in the semester), reflecting larger handsets recycling periods in general.

The high Group diversification across the regions was underlined. Thus, T. España represented (25.1%) of first half consolidated revenues followed by T. Hispanoamérica (23.8%), T. Brasil (20.2%), T. Deutschland (14.6%) and T. UK (13.7%).

In terms of services, broadband connectivity and services over connectivity revenues continued to increase their weight over the total, up to 35.0% and 11.5% respectively in the quarter, +4.3 percentage points and 1.9 percentage points more than in the same period of the previous year. Meanwhile, voice and access revenues decreased to 43.2% over the total (48.1% in the second quarter of 2015). Mobile data revenues continued to be a key driver for the Group, and grew 9.4% year-on-year in organic terms in April-June and now represent 52% of mobile service revenues (+5 percentage points year-on-year; +1 percentage points vs. the first quarter) due to greater demand for smartphones and LTE. Non-SMS data revenues (+16.0% year-on-year in the quarter) represented 81% of total data revenues (+3.9 percentage points vs. January-March).

Similarly, continued growth of mobile data traffic is a key highlight, increasing to 50% year-on-year underpinned by the growth of LTE customers (19% of total mobile customers), with higher average usage (+68%) and ARPU around 10% higher.

Operating expenses in April-June stood at 9,067 million euros and decreased by 0.8% organic year-on-year (-8.1% reported) due to widespread containment across all segments except in T. Hispanoamérica. Thus, the organic improvement vs. the first quarter (+2.8% year-on-year) is explained by T. Hispanoamérica (mainly Venezuela and Mexico) and in capturing integration synergies and the continuous progress in efficiencies. In the quarter, a provision was also recorded for restructuring costs of 42 million euros (61 million euros in the semester), mainly in T. Brasil and T. Deutschland. Thus, expenses totalled 18,010 million euros in the first six months and increased by 0.5% organic year-on-year (-7.4% reported).

Supplies (3,748 million euros in the second quarter of 2016) decreased by 3.6% organic year-on-year mainly due to lower handsets sales and lower mobile interconnection costs.

Personnel expenses increased to 1,687 million euros in April-June and decreased by 0.4% year-on-year organic, supported by T. España (savings from the voluntary employment suspension plan included since April) and T. Deutschland (savings generated by last year’s restructuring plan). Thus, the pace of year-on-year growth decreased by 7.4 percentage points compared to the previous quarter.

The average workforce in the first half of the year grew by 5.5% year-on-year, totalling 134,922 employees and encompassed the incorporation of the GVT and DTS workforces in May 2015 (-8.7% year-on-year including the equivalent average workforce in the same period of 2015).

Other operating expenses stood at 3,632 million euros and increased by 1.9% organic vs. April-June 2015, mainly due to network expenses associated with a sharp increase in traffic and the negative effect of inflation in some Latin American countries. Nevertheless, there was a slowdown in the year-on-year growth of these expenses vs. January-March (+3.7%) mainly due to the lesser weight of Venezuela.

Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA) grew 0.8% organic year-on-year in the quarter and totalled 3,918 million euros (-7.1% reported year-on-year), underpinned by continuous growth of T. Brasil (contribution of 1.3 percentage points), T. España (+0.3 percentage points) and T. Deutschland (+0.2 percentage points) which more than offset the performance of T. Hispanoamérica (-0.8 percentage points) and T. UK (-0.5 percentage points). The OIBDA growth decelerated vs. the first quarter mainly due to T. UK (-1.1 percentage points), T. Mexico (-1.0 percentage points). T. Venezuela (-1.0 percentage points) and T. Brasil (-0.7 percentage points).

In the first half, OIBDA increased 3.1% organic year-on-year to 7,756 million euros (-6.4% reported year-on-year). Excluding regulatory impact, the organic OIBDA for the quarter increased 1.4% year-on-year (+4.0% in the semester).

OIBDA margin in the second quarter stood at 30.8% and posted an organic expansion of 0.3 percentage points vs. the same period of the previous year (+0.2 percentage points reported). In the first half of the year, OIBDA margin increased 0.5 percentage points year-on-year organic to 30.7%.

Depreciation and amortisation in April-June reached 2,351 million euros and increased by 2.4% year-on-year organic (-3.6% reported) mainly due to the higher level of investment in T. Brasil and T. Hispanoamérica. In the first semester, this line increased to 4,673 million euros (+2.1% organic year-on-year; -3.3% reported). Total depreciation and amortisation charges arising from asset purchase price assignment processes amounted to 229 million in the quarter (439 million in the January-June period of 2016).

Operating income (OI) totalled 1,567 million euros, 1.5% less than in the second quarter of 2015 in organic terms (-12.0% reported). In the first half of 2016, it reached 3,083 million euros (+4.6% year-on-year organic; -10.9% reported).

Net financial expenses totalled 1,320 million euros in the first semester (660 million euros in the second quarter) and increased by 15.2% year-on-year. This year-on-year increase is affected by the impairment of 46 million euros of the Mediaset Premium participation in the second quarter of 2016 and the divestment in Telecom Italia, S.p.A in the first half of 2015 for the sum of 380 million euros. Excluding these impacts, financial expenses decreased by 16.5% year-on-year in the semester, despite the increase in net debt balance. Said improvement is explained mainly by the hedging management in pounds linked to the T. UK, with part of the saving recognised as financial profit (+162 million euros) and the lower cost of debt in European currencies (+97 million euros).

The effective cost of the debt in the last twelve months stood at 4.35%, 96 basis points lower year-on-year, excluding exchange rate differences and the impairment of the Mediaset Premium participation.

Corporate income tax for first six months of the year amounted to 549 million euros which, over an income before taxes of 1,760 million euros, makes the effective rate stand at 31.2%. The difference with the reported rate in the same period of 2015 (6.5%) is mainly explained by the tax credits recognition in 2015.

Profit attributable to minority interests increased net profit by 37 million euros in April-June (decreasing it by 31 million euros in the same period of the previous year) mainly due to the higher profit attributed to minority interests in Brazil and due to the negative profits attributed to T. Deutschland minority shareholders. In January-June, it contributed 30 million to the net profit (-12 millions in 2015).

Thus, and as a result of all items, consolidated net income for the quarter reached 693 million euros (-54.5% year-on-year) and 1,241 million euros in the first half of the year (-42.1% year-on-year).

Basic earnings per share totalled 0.13 euros in the last three months and 0.23 euros in the first six months (-55.6% and -45.2%, respectively).

CapEx increased by 2.9% year-on-year in organic terms to 3,654 million euros in January-June (-33.7% in reported terms), with the investment focused on the deployment of ultra-fast networks (76.5% in growth and transformation).

Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) stood at 4,102 million euros cumulative to June and increased by 3.3% year-on-year in organic terms (+47.6% reported), after also presenting year-on-year organic growth in the second quarter (+1.4%).

In the first six months of 2016, interest payments totalled 1,377 million euros (490 million euros in the second quarter) and decreased by 3.2% year-on-year due to the lower debt in euros at fixed rates, net of other effects.

Payment for taxes increased to 228 million euros as of June 2016, 45% higher than those of the same period in 2015, mainly due to lower return on definitive previous year tax returns, balanced by lower payments in advance.

Working capital in January-June consumed 1,412 million euros, affected by seasonal factors related to CapEx, payment of taxes and rents of sites, offset in part by the execution of factoring measures on accounts receivable and the extension of payment terms. This sum is 510 million euros higher than the first six months of 2015, mainly due to the regularisation of payments in foreign currency in Argentina and the positive impact of the partial financing of spectrum licences in Germany and Ecuador. In April-June, working capital consumed 220 million euros vs. the contribution of 27 million euros in the same period of last year, also explained by the aforementioned financing of licences.

Operations with minority shareholders totalled 264 million in the April-June of 2016, 110 million less year-on-year, essentially due to T. Brasil not making any dividend payments in the period.

Free cash flow increased to 746 million euros in the second quarter (69 million euros in the first quarter and -557 million euros in the same period 2015). The improvement vs. the first quarter is due mainly to the lower consumption of working capital and due to lower financial payments, while the growth vs. 2015 was derived mainly from spectrum payments made in 2015 (1,213 million euros). In the first semester, free cash flow totalled 815 million euros (-194 million euros in the same period of 2015).

Net financial debt stood at 52,568 million euros as of June 2016 and increased by 1,980 million euros vs. March 2016 due to: i) shareholder remuneration (dividends, treasury stock and hybrid coupons) of 1,950 million euros; ii) payment of labour-related pre-retirements commitments (191 million euros) iii) net financial investments (86 million euros) and iv) other factors affecting the valuation of liabilities by 499 million euros (mainly due to the higher value in euros of net debt in foreign currency and the refinancing of commercial liabilities). On the contrary, free cash flow generation reduced debt by 746 million euros in the quarter.

Compared with December 2015, net financial debt grew 2,728 million euros mainly due to: i) shareholder remuneration (dividends, treasury stock and hybrid coupons) of 2,707 million euros; ii) payment of labour-related commitments (332 million euros) iii) net financial investments (148 million euros) and iv) other factors affecting the valuation of liabilities by 583 million euros (mainly due to the refinancing of commercial liabilities). Conversely, noteworthy factors reducing the debt included: i) generation of free cash flow of 815 million euros, and ii) lower value in euros of net debt in foreign currencies (227 million euros).

The leverage ratio (net debt over OIBDA) stood at 3.20 times1 at the close of June 2016.

In the first semester of 2016, Telefónica’s financing activity increased close to 5,560 million equivalent euros, without considering the re-financing of commercial paper and short-term bank loans. The activity focussed mainly on strengthening the liquidity position and refinancing the debt maturities in an environment of very low interest rates.

In April 2016, it is worth mentioning an issuance in the bond market in euros, divided in two tranches, 1,400 million at 6 years and 1,350 million at 10 years with record-low coupons paid by Telefónica for a euro issuance in those maturity terms.

 

 

1  12 month rolling, excluding goodwill impairment adjustments, the non-recurring impact from restructuring costs in the last 12 months and firm commitments related to the Telefónica Foundation’s social activities.

In the first semester, T. Deutschland obtained financing for a total of 1,200 million euros by means of a credit line signed with a group of financial institutions for a sum of 750 million euros maturing in March 2021 and a loan with the EIB for an amount of 450 million euros.

In the first half of the year, Telefónica Group obtained funding by means of extending payment terms with suppliers, or with the factoring firm where those had been discounted, for a total 788 million equivalent euros.

Meanwhile, Telefónica, S.A. and its holding companies continued with their issuance activity under the Commercial Paper and Promissory Note Programmes (Domestic and European), increasing the outstanding amount in the second quarter in 1,749 million euros to approximately 4,504 million euros at the end of June, benefiting from a context of low interest rates.

At the end of June, Telefónica maintained undrawn committed credit lines with different credit institutions for an approximate amount of 11,812 million euros (10,662 million euros maturing in more than twelve months) which combined with the equivalent cash position and current financial assets excluding Venezuela, placed liquidity at 17,254 million euros.

Definition:

Organic Growth: Assumes constant exchange rates from 2015, excludes the impact of hyperinflationary adjustments in Venezuela in both years and considers a constant perimeter of consolidation. In OIBDA and OI terms, excludes write-downs, capital gains/losses from the sale of companies, sale of towers, restructuring costs and material non-recurring impacts. CapEx also excludes investment in spectrum and the Real Estate efficiency plan.

Digital Services

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Digital services revenues stood at 1,212 million euros in the quarter (+15.7%) and 2,349 million euros in the semester (+17.4% year-on-year).

In the quarter, Video revenues (687 million euros) grew 13.1% vs. April-June 2015, supported by a video offering which is complemented by cutting-edge features (Movistar+5S for people with disabilities and VoD offline capabilities in Spain), and with differential content for different audiences, including own production such as “Movistar#0” (the second-most watched channel on “Movistar+” only five months after its launch).

These revenues decelerated vs. the previous quarter (+17.3% year-on-year) mainly due to T. Brasil and T. Hispanoamérica.

Pay TV accesses reached 8.4 million at June (4.5 million of these are satellite TV accesses), 5% more than in June 2015 due to the growth of 10% in T. Hispanoamérica and 4% in T. España.

In Security, April-June revenues (82 million euros) maintained a solid year-on-year growth of 24.4% (+25.6% in January-March). In the quarter, two new Security Operations Centres were launched in Mexico and Spain, and new strategic partnerships have been signed: i) Checkpoint to integrate the “Tacyt” service (Cyber Intelligence tool against mobile threats); ii) Fortinet, to provide solutions integrated with several of the key security services managed by Telefónica, and iii) Spamina, to be integrated with the product “Latch” and reinforce digital identity management. In the residential segment, accesses with security products reached 13.6 million (+73% year-on-year) driven by the launch of a new bundle in Brazil, including antivirus, “Cloud” and “Peace of Mind” products.

M2M revenues reached 56 million euros in the quarter (+27.7% year-on-year), supported by the global platform “Smart M2M” to continue capturing key customers from different industries. This quarter the platform has started to be licensed to other telecoms companies.

In April-June, Cloud revenues (143 million euros) improved their year-on-year growth to 29.8% driven by a complete offering of managed services for key accounts and the introduction of cloud services in bundles for SMEs. This quarter, it is worth noting the launch of the first public cloud service in Chile and Brazil (“Open Telefónica Cloud”), supported by OpenStack, and the sale of more than 650,000 Microsoft Office packages globally (+30% vs. June 2015) and the growth of “Fusión Pro” in Spain which has more than 200 thousand customers (vs. 97 thousand in the previous quarter).

The investees of “Telefónica Open Future_” continue to contribute to the business of the Group on the one hand, via their integration in services to customers (MyFixpert, Trocafone, Imbox.me) or through internal efficiencies (CartoDB, Reglare), and on the other hand, via financial returns, such as through the sale of Ticketbis to eBay, or the funding rounds of Job&Talent and Tado.

Telefónica Global Resources

TGR intensified its focus on building an excellent connectivity proposition in terms of speed, reliability and security, investing in the continued modernization of the network core and in the development of mobile and fixed broad band (expanding coverage and 3G and 4G capacity, and deploying FTTH and FTTN), which allows to manage the strong growth in traffic volume, especially video.

Thus, the Network and Operations Global area progressed in the efficient deployment of the ultra-broadband (UBB) network, the All-IP transformation and the continuous network improvement in terms of quality and efficiency. All of this supports the higher volume of data traffic (+50% year-on-year), generated by mobile broadband (+50% year-on-year, video traffic: +42%) and fixed broadband (+50% year-on-year).

As of June 2016, total premises passed with fibre reached 32.9 million, of which 20.7 correspond to fibre to the home (15.7 in Spain and 4.7 in Brasil). On the other hand, the 46,840 LTE sites positioned LTE population coverage at 55% (86% in Spain, 77% in Germany, 91% in the United Kingdom, 47% in Brazil and 45% in T. Hispam). Furthermore, 95% of the 3G and LTE base stations are connected via IP and fibre links to the transport network, which enables service to be provided to 50.1 million LTE customers (2.1 times year-on-year).

Regarding All-IP transformation, highlights include the construction of a new metropolitan transport network in Spain which has begun and which will have Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities providing speeds from 100 Gbps to 200 Gbps. In parallel, Spain continues to progress with the switch-off of copper central offices (11 additional in the quarter) and is accelerating the deployment of All-IP fixed and mobile convergence systems, such as the IMS platform in Peru or the network availability in Germany for native VoWiFi based on IMS.

On the other hand, in a context of continuous quality improvement, the deployment of solutions auto-optimized (SON-Self Optimizing Networks) already allows to improve the user experience of more than 70 million customers.

Highlights from the Global Centres include the continued progress in the transformation of the Network “Operating Support Systems” (OSS), with the renewal of legacy systems, and the beginning of the deployment of “Home Gateway Unit” (HGU) in Brazil (already in Spain and soon in Chile) and the widespread installation across Latin American countries of equipment designed for the “Global Device Centre”.

Finally, highlights for the quarter include: i) the deployment of a mobile radio access solution in the cloud (Cloud RAN) to cover the need for greater mobile traffic capacity in Buenos Aires; ii) and the deployment of a GSM Rural solution in Peru, with base stations of low cost and consumption which provide mobile coverage using satellite transport and iii) the NFV-SDN solution (Network Functions Virtualisation/Software Defined Networks) awarded with the “LTE & 5G World Award 2016”.

The Global IT area continued to make progress in the structural transformation of operating businesses, through the execution of “Full Stacks” programmes and progress in various projects: i) per-country consolidation of different online tariff calculators, ii) construction of new Big Data platforms (deployment in Peru and Central America) and scaling of the already existing platforms tripling their capacity year to date and, iii) the roll-out of global applications expanding their implementation to the main operating businesses of the Group (as GlobalSAP Purchasing in Spain). This has all translated into improved service levels.

Finally, the transformation continued via the simplification projects of traditional systems, reducing servers (-2.1% vs. June 2015), data centres (-5 DC in the semester) and applications (-114 in the first half of the year) and increasing the virtualisation (+0.5 percentage points year-on-year).

Notes:

 

  Since the second quarter of 2016 Telefónica’s operations in the United Kingdom are no longer reported as discontinued operations within Telefónica Group and all its assets and liabilities have ceased to be reported as “held for sale”, and have been reclassified back into full consolidation within Telefónica Group financial statements, in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For comparative purposes, the results of Grupo Telefónica of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 are reported following the same criteria.

 

  The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period has been obtained applying the IAS rule 33 “Earnings per share”. Thereby, the weighted average of shares held as treasury stock have not been taken into account as outstanding shares. On the other hand, the denominator is retrospectively adjusted for transactions that have changed the number of shares outstanding without a corresponding change in equity (as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented). For instance, the bonus share issue carried out to meet the scrip dividends paid in 2015, has been taken into account. Also, the ordinary shares that would be issued upon the conversion of the mandatorily convertible notes issued on 24 September 2014 are included in the calculation of earnings per share from that date.

 

  Basic earnings per share ratio is calculated dividing Net Income, adjusted for the net coupon corresponding to “Other equity instruments”, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

 

  2015 and 2016 reported figures include hyperinflationary adjustments in Venezuela in both years.

 

  Group consolidated results consolidate GVT and DTS’ results since 1 May 2015.

Notes:

 

  Since the second quarter of 2016 Telefónica’s operations in the United Kingdom are no longer reported as discontinued operations within Telefónica Group and all its assets and liabilities have ceased to be reported as “held for sale”, and have been reclassified back into full consolidation within Telefónica Group financial statements, in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For comparative purposes, the results of Grupo Telefónica of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 are reported following the same criteria.

 

  The concept “Free Cash Flow” reflects the amount of cash flow available to remunerate Telefónica S.A. Shareholders, to protect solvency levels (financial debt and commitments), and to accomodate strategic flexibility.

 

  The differences with the caption “Net Free Cash Flow after CapEx” included in the table presented above, are related to “Free Cash Flow” being calculated before payments related to commitments (payment of labour commitments) and after operations with minority shareholders, due to cash recirculation within the Group.

 

  2015 and 2016 reported figures include the hyperinflationary adjustments in Venezuela in both years.

 

(1) Includes cash received from dividends paid by subsidiaries that are not fully consolidated.
(2) Figures in million euros. 2016 includes: 6 in Perú, 3 in Spain, 2 in Colombia and 2 in Germany. In 2015: 976 in Germany, 204 in Argentina, 67 in Ecuador, 49 in Spain, 6 in Chile, 4 in Colombia and 1 in Nicaragua.
(3) Dividends paid by Telefónica S.A., operations with treasury stock, issuance of shares, issuance and coupons of undated deeply subordinated securities, issuance of mandatorily convertible bonds into Telefónica S.A. shares and operations with minority shareholders from subsidiaries that are consolidated through the equity method.

TELEFÓNICA ESPAÑA

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica España results for the second quarter of 2016 maintained a positive trend in line with the new growth cycle, while commercial activity improved with a reduction in churn across the board.

On the other hand, the initial savings captured from the employment suspension plan contributed to the OIBDA and margin year-on-year growth in the quarter (+2.6% before non-recurrent and +1.1 percentage points respectively).

Subsequent to the close of the quarter, on 3 July, a new “Movistar Fusión+” portfolio was launched, increasing the value offered to customers tailored to their preferences. Thus, basic bundles now include content from the Spanish “La Liga”, to which “UEFA Champions and Europe League” are added in ultrafast packages; and the new “Movistar Fusión+” bundles include additional mobile lines and Premium TV content. All this enhances the positioning of “Fusión+” in the second half of the year.

Total accesses stood at 41.5 million, of which consumer accesses increased to 28.0 million.

Consumer “Movistar Fusión” reached 4.3 million customers (+10% year-on-year) and 2.1 million additional mobile lines (+9% year-on-year), with quarterly net additions of 60 thousand, and now represents 82% of broadband customers (+5 percentage points year-on-year), 77% of TV customers (+20 percentage points year-on-year) and 70% of mobile contract customers (+6 percentage points year-on-year).

Furthermore, the capture of high-value customers in gross additions was maintained in the quarter, with 51% completely new customers and 93% incorporating at least one new service. Thus, the higher penetration of value services continued to increase in the “Fusión” customer base; 32% are already enjoying ultrafast fibre (+7 percentage points year-on-year) and 67% pay TV (+15 percentage points year-on-year).

The quarterly ARPU for “Fusión” stood at 79.8 euros (+11.8% year-on-year, +2.0% quarter-on-quarter) driven by the tariff updates of February 2016 and May 2015 and the demand for higher value bundles. This difference in calendar in the update of tariffs was the cause of lower growth in ARPU vs. the previous quarter. Churn improved to 1.1% (-0.3 percentage points year-on-year; -0.2 percentage points quarter-on-quarter) and continued to reflect the higher customer loyalty in the convergent offering.

Retail fixed telephony accesses (-3% year-on-year) recorded a quarterly net loss of 56 thousand accesses, with a clear improvement vs. the previous quarter (-95 thousand) and the same period of the previous year (-195 thousand) thanks to the positive churn performance (-0.2 percentage points year-on-year; -0.1 percentage points quarter-on-quarter).

Retail broadband accesses accelerated their rate of year-on-year growth to 3%, with net additions in April-June of 52 thousand accesses, driven by the reduction in churn (1.3%; -0.3 percentage points year-on-year; -0.2 percentage quarter-on-quarter) and the online promotion for gross additions of non-convergent broadband.

Fibre accesses stood at 2.7 million (1.6x vs. June 2015) and now represent 44% of broadband accesses (+15 percentage points year-on-year; +3 percentage points quarter-on-quarter), with net additions of 217 thousand in the quarter. Ultrafast fibre accesses (with a minimum additional ARPU of 10 euros) accounted for 65% of the fibre base, after adding 114 thousand accesses (52% of fibre net additions vs. 47% the previous quarter). It is worth highlighting that the average monthly data consumption of fiber customers is twice that of ADSL customers, and increased 30% in the quarter year-on-year. The coverage of fibre-to-the-home increased by 600 thousand new premises in the quarter reaching 15.7 million, and continues to be the largest in Europe.

Pay TV accesses totalled 3.8 million (+4% organic year-on-year) including 750 thousand DTS satellite accesses. Net additions in the quarter, affected by the typical seasonality of the second quarter (“La Liga” end of season), amounted to 27 thousand accesses, as a result of the net additions of IPTV customers (+100 thousand) and the net loss of satellite TV customers (-73 thousand), at the same time both were impacted by the migration of 34 thousand from DTS customers to “Fusión+”. Quarterly churn stood at 1.6% with a noteworthy level of containment (-0.2 percentage points year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter).

Mobile accesses (-1% year-on-year) once again slowed down its year-on-year decrease, supported by net additions in contract that turned positive in the quarter (50 thousand; -17 thousand in the previous quarter) fostered by M2M and the positive uptake of the second mobile line included in “Fusión+ Contigo” from 1 June. Excluding M2M, the performance of contract accesses improved equally (-13 thousand; vs. -65 thousand the previous year). Contract churn ex-M2M stood at 1.3% in the quarter (-0.1 percentage points year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter).

Smartphone penetration (68%; +4 percentage points year-on-year) continued to drive mobile data traffic (+49% year-on-year). LTE coverage reached 86% (+3 percentage points compared with March) and LTE penetration 33% (+17 percentage points year-on-year).

Wholesale accesses increased to 4.7 million (-11% year-on-year) with net losses of 174 thousand accesses in line with the previous quarter (-171 mil). Meanwhile, wholesale fibre accesses grew to 210 thousand (doubling year-on-year).

Operating revenues for the quarter (3,202 million euros) remained stable year-on-year (-0.1%) and in line with the previous quarter (+0.2% year-on-year) despite the greater decline in handset revenues (-22.3%; vs. -18.2% the previous quarter).

In contrast, service revenues improved their year-on-year performance sequentially (+1.1%; vs. +1.0% in January-March) mainly due to greater commercial activity and improved performance in business segment. It is important to highlight that the first “Fusión” tariff update was in May 2015, so it has less of an impact in the year-on-year comparison in the second quarter than in the first one.

In the semester, revenues increased to 6,328 million euros, stable year-on-year (0.0%; +5.4% reported).

Consumer revenues (1,636 million euros in the quarter) increased 0.9% year-on-year (+1.8% in the previous quarter) driven by the strong 22.7% year-on-year growth of “Fusión” (1,015 million euros) which offset the decline in “non-Fusión” revenues (-21.8% year-on-year) thanks to the growth in ARPU and customers and despite the lower impact of the tariff update vs. the previous quarter.

Business revenues (876 million euros in the quarter) changed trend and grew by 0.6% year-on-year (-2.8% in the previous quarter) driven by the greater growth of IT (+11.8% year-on-year) and the lesser sequential decrease of revenues from communications (-2.0% year-on-year) driven by an improved loyalty level in SMEs.

Other revenues (568 million euros) increased by 2.0% year-on-year (+5.1% in January-March) mainly due to the improved performance of wholesale revenues in TV and NEBA, and despite the reduction in revenues in MVNOs.

Operating expenses (1,966 million euros in April-June) decreased by 1.9% year on year, and improved their sequential evolution by 0.6 percentage points due to the reduction of personnel expenses. In the semester, expenses amounted to 3,921 million euros (-1.6% year-on-year; +7.2% reported).

Supplies (869 million euros in the quarter) increased 5.0% year-on-year (+0.2% in the first quarter of the year) mainly due to greater content costs associated with the higher cost of the exclusivity of motor sports content and the purchase of equipment (IT). Net content expenses (from wholesale TV revenues) increased by 9% year-on-year (+6% in the previous quarter).

Personnel expenses (524 million euros in April-June) posted a change in their trend vs. the previous quarter and decreased by 8.3% year-on-year (+3.0% in January-March), due to the savings generated by the employment suspension plan (60 million euros). At the close of June, the workforce of T. España stood at 28,836 employees (-10.4% vs. December 2015).

Other operating expenses (574 million euros in the quarter) decreased by 5.4% year-on-year, (-7.2% in the quarter) mainly due to lower commercial expenses (handset subsidies, advertising and channels).

OIBDA reached 1,317 million euros in April-June and grew by 1.1% year-on-year, which translated into an OIBDA margin of 41.1% (+0.5 percentage points year-on-year), although it must be noted that OIBDA in the second quarter of 2015 was impacted by capital gains on the sale of real estate (19 million euros). Stripping out this impact, the performance of OIBDA (+2.6% year-on-year) and margin (+1.1 percentage points vs. April-June 2015) improved vs. the previous quarter (OIBDA +2.0% year-on-year; margin +0.7 percentage points year-on-year).

In the semester, OIBDA increased to 2,583 million euros, 1.5% higher vs. the same period of 2015 and OIBDA margin stood at 40.8% (+0.6% percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx in the first six months of the year stood at 889 million euros, including in the quarter 7 millions of spectrum (+4.1% year-on-year; +1.2% in the quarter).

As a result, the operating cash flow grew year-on-year in the quarter (+1.0% year-on-year) for the first time since the third quarter of 2013 and reached 1,694 million euros in the semester (+0.2% year-on-year).

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica Deutschland continued to increase profitability and operating cash flow whilst driving momentum in an environment of intense mobile competition (aggressive pricing in non-premium). At the same time, the Company progressed further with the integration of E-Plus, with important integration milestones reached by June (the second wave of the employee restructuring programme and good progress regarding network integration and future multi brand portfolio). Since 1 July 2016 onwards the network focus has shifted towards the integration of the 4G networks.

Commercially, the Company focused on the O2 brand as its key proposition for the premium segment and is about to successfully complete the migration of the contract customer base of the BASE and E-Plus brands to the O2 brand.

Telefónica Deutschland reiterates its 2016 full-year outlook mobile service revenue (MSR) evolution and OIBDA based on successful synergy capture while annual Capex outlook is changed to ‘mid to high single-digit % growth’ (previously “low tens”), due to a more efficient Capex spend and LTE rollout phasing. At the same time, Telefónica Deutschland announces its intention to grow dividend annually over the next three years, starting with a proposal of €0.25/share for the financial year 2016 (€0.24/share last year).

The contract mobile customer base (45% of total) grew 3% year-on-year and registered 339 thousand net additions in the quarter (1.9x quarter-on-quarter), with an increasing contribution from partners (53% of gross additions in the quarter vs. 45% the previous one). The prepay access base (+1% year-on-year; 55% of total) posted 71 thousand net additions for April to June, changing the trend vs. the first quarter (236 thousand net disconnections due to seasonal factors).

Smartphone penetration grew 5 percentage points year-on-year to 56% on the continued expansion of LTE (9.4 million accesses; +8% quarter-on-quarter). LTE penetration improved by 8 percentage points year-on-year to 22% and mobile data traffic grew 35.2% year-on-year vs. the first half of 2015.

Data ARPU accelerated to 3.9% year-on-year in the second quarter (+3.1% in the first quarter) on the back of non-SMS data ARPU (+11.5%). As a result, contract ARPU performance improved (-3.3% year-on-year; -3.8% in the previous one). As a result, mobile ARPU was 3.8% lower year-on-year in the quarter.

The benefits of the strong uptake of VDSL (76 thousand net additions in April-June) resulted in a second consecutive quarter of positive retail broadband net additions (2 thousand in the quarter and 6 thousand in the first half).

Revenues in the second quarter of 2016 declined by 5.9% year-on-year to 1,834 million euros (3,691 million euros in the first six months of the year, -4.1% year-on-year), slowing down 3.6 percentage points vs. the first quarter, out of which 3.1 p.p. is explained by lower handset sales.

Mobile service revenues amounted to 1,358 million euros in April-June, 1.7% less than in the same period of 2015(-1.5% year-on-year in January-June) reflecting the higher share of wholesale revenue as well as the continued headwinds from legacy base and regulatory effects (interconnection rate cuts explain -0.2 percentage points of the year-on-year change).

Mobile data revenues in the second quarter (749 million euros) accelerated 0.5 percentage points to 5.8% year-on-year on the back of non-SMS data revenues (+13.6% year-on-year; 574 million euros in April-June;), leveraging the higher LTE customer base and a 16% quarter-on-quarter increase of average data usage (1.4 GB per month in the quarter) of O2 consumer contract customers. As a result, mobile data over mobile service revenues increased 4 percentage points year-on-year to 55% in the quarter and non-SMS data grew 6 percentage points to 77% of mobile data.

Handset sales totalled 226 million euros and declined 25.5% vs. the second quarter of 2015, 20.0 percentage points more than in the first one, reflecting longer handset replacement cycles and lower demand in line with broader market dynamics.

Fixed revenues (245 million euros) were down 5.9% year-on-year in April-June period (-4.5% year-on-year in the first half) explained by the pressure on wholesale fixed broadband that could not be offset by the continued good performance of VDSL.

Operating expenses reached 1,435 million euros in the quarter (-4.6% year-on-year) and 2,918 million euros in the first six months (-4.2% year-on-year) and includes restructuring expenses of 14 million euros and 23 million euros in the second and in the first quarters respectively (2015: 3 million euros in the second quarter) related to integration synergies.

Supplies declined 10.6% year-on-year to 578 million euros in April-June (-7.6% year-on-year in January-June) due to lower interconnection and hardware costs.

Personnel expenses amounted to 160 million euros and declined 10.1% with respect to the second quarter of 2015 (-11.7% year-on-year in the semester) mainly on the back of the first wave of the restructuring programme executed last year.

Other operating expenses (697 million euros in April-June), increased 0.8% year-on-year compared with -3.4% in January-March as savings from integration initiatives offset investments in brands and upfront costs related to the large integration initiatives started in 2016.

OIBDA totalled 458 million euros and grew by 1.8% year-on-year in the second quarter excluding non-recurrent effects (850 million euros in January to June 2016; +3.8% year-on-year). Quarterly OIBDA performance reflected seasonally higher transformation OpEx effects in the first half of the year (customer retention, brand positioning and IT stacks consolidation) partially offset by the continued benefit from synergy capture (40 million euros in the second quarter) mainly from the rollover of 2015 initiatives. Non-recurrent effects include restructuring costs previously mentioned as well as the disposal of “yourfone” of 15 million euros in the first quarter of 2015.

The OIBDA margin stood at 25.0% in the second quarter, up 1.9 percentage points year-on-year excluding non-recurrent impacts and 23.0% for the six months period (+1.8 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx amounted to 433 million euros in the first half of the year (-7.1% year-on-year) as investments are back-end loaded in 2016 due to the expected intensification of the network integration effort in the second half of the year.

Operating Cash Flow (OIBDA-CapEx) totalled 417 million euros in the first half, up 16.7% year-on-year excluding non-recurrent effects.

TELEFÓNICA UK

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica UK showed strong trading performance, building on momentum from 2015, which has been underpinned by the strength of the O2 brand, successful commercial propositions and customer loyalty. These factors allowed the Company to deliver continued strong customer growth in a challenging market.

Fast LTE deployment continued, reaching 91% outdoor population coverage as of June (+18 percentage points year-on-year), leading to an LTE penetration of 43% of the mobile base.

Total mobile accesses reached 25.2 million (+1% vs. June 2015) after recording the strongest total quarterly net additions in 6 quarters (240 thousand). The mobile contract customer base (61% of the total; +5 percentage points year-on-year) grew 10% year-on-year, with 134 thousand net additions in the second quarter leveraged on new record levels of contract churn (0.8%; -0.1 percentage points year-on-year). The prepay mobile base posted 106 thousand net additions in the three months to June compared to net disconnections of 201 thousand in the first quarter.

The smartphone base stood at 13.3 million at the end of June, with a penetration of 62% (+13 percentage points year-on-year), reflecting the strong increase in LTE accesses (9.5 million; +64% year-on-year). As a result, mobile data traffic grew 57.1% year-on-year in the second quarter.

ARPU excluding “O2 Refresh” declined 0.8% year-on-year in the second quarter (+1.8% year-on-year in the first quarter) with higher subscription revenues year-on-year offset mainly by lower roaming and interconnection. Contract ARPU was down 5.2% year-on-year in April-June (-4.5% year-on-year in January-March) while prepay ARPU continued to grow (+10.2% year-on-year in the quarter; +9.7% the previous one).

Revenue in second quarter declined 1.6% year-on-year excluding the impact of “O2 Refresh” and reached 1,712 million euros mostly a result of ARPU dynamics together with a market wide slowdown in handset sales. In the first six months, revenue totalled 3,464 million euros, remaining stable year-on-year (-0.1% ex “O2 Refresh”).

Mobile service revenue (1,308 million euros) was broadly flat year-on-year in the quarter excluding the impact of “O2 Refresh”, (-0.2%) and benefitted from customer base growth which was offset mostly by lower roaming and interconnect. Performance compared to the first quarter (+2.6% year-on-year) is primarily driven by slowdown in roaming revenue. Mobile service revenue totalled 2,633 million euros in the first six months of the year (+1.1% year-on-year ex “O2 Refresh”).

Data revenue improved 1.9% year-on-year in the April to June period (+1.7% in January-June), driven by the sustained growth of non-SMS data revenue (+4.9% year-on-year in the second quarter; +4.2% in the first half). This resulted in non-SMS data revenue accounting for 61% of data revenue in the second quarter (+2 percentage points year-on-year), while data revenue represented 60% of mobile service revenue (+2 percentage points year-on-year).

Handset revenue & other declined 11.6% year-on-year in the second quarter to 404 million euros (-9.0% in the first half), accelerating its declined vs the first quarter, again in line with a market wide decline in the level of handset sales and increased handset lifecycles.

Operating expenses reached 1,285 million euros in the quarter, 5.3% lower year-on-year (2,601 million euros in the first half; -4.8% year-on-year).

Supplies (787 million euros) declined 7.6% year-on-year in April-June (-8.1% in January-March) due to lower interconnection costs as well as declining hardware expense on the reduced level of handset sales.

Personnel expenses totalled 135 million euros and increased 8.6% year-on-year in April-June (+5.3% in January-March) affected by headcount growth.

Other expenses reverted its growth trend and decreased 4.6% year-on-year in the second quarter (+1.3% in the first quarter) to reach 362 million euros on continuing cost management.

OIBDA in the quarter totalled 456 million euros (-4.0% year-on-year) and grew 0.6% year-on-year in the first half of 2016 to 918 million euros. This resulted in an OIBDA margin of 26.6% in the second quarter (+0.1 percentage points year-on-year) and of 26.5% in the six months to June 2016 (+1.0 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx amounted to 415 million euros the period January to June, an increase of 6.3% year-on-year, mainly focused on LTE expansion.

Operating Cash Flow (OIBDA-CapEx) totalled 502 million euros in the first half of the year, 3.7% lower than a year ago.

TELEFÓNICA BRASIL

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica Brasil’s data centric and quality strategy (with higher penetration of high-value services), which combined with the capture of synergies and efficiencies has enabled the improvement of its market position and has translated into solid financial results (simultaneous growth in revenues, OIBDA, OpCF and margin expansions). It is important to highlight that this performance has been achieved despite a difficult macro environment and regulatory situation (reduction in rates: mobile termination -33.8%, fixed-mobile retail -20.6%, local fixed -65.9% and fixed interurban -21.3%; all since 24 February 2016).

The Company managed 97.1 million accesses, 9% lower than in June 2015 due to the more restrictive calculation of prepay accesses, which caused a decrease in mobile accesses of 11.3% year-on-year (73.3 million).

In mobile contract, quarterly net additions amounted to 381 thousand accesses, more than doubling that of the previous quarter although it is lower than that of the same period of the previous year (679 thousand accesses), in a context of lower economic growth. Thus, market share stood at 42.3% as of May (+0.7 percentage points year-on-year), after capturing 55% new accesses in the last twelve months.

The Company maintained market leadership in LTE, with a market share of 36.9% as of May. Accesses reached 15.1 million, tripling vs. June 2015 and coverage extended to 198 cities (47% of population coverage). Likewise, smartphones maintained a strong rate of increase and already reached a penetration of 60% (+17 percentage points year-on-year).

Mobile ARPU maintained a solid year-on-year growth in the second quarter and accelerated to 18.6% driven by data ARPU (+40.9% in April-June; +37.0% in January-March) and greater weight of contract accesses. The strong increase in outgoing ARPU (+16.2% year-on-year in the quarter; +14.2% in the semester) offset the negative impact of incoming ARPU due to lower termination rates.

Year-on-year changes in the fixed business were affected by the homogenisation of accesses criteria with GVT in the fourth quarter of 2015 (with no impact on revenues). For this reason, and due to fixed-mobile substitution, traditional accesses decreased by 1% year-on-year.

Retail broadband accesses (7.3 million) increased by 2% year-on-year; highlighting the strong performance of fibre accesses (4.0 million; 676 thousand FTTH), which accounted for 55% of broadband accesses (+4 percentage points year-on-year). Premises passed with FTTx increased to 16.1 million at June (4.9 million with FTTH in Sao Paolo). The deployment of fibre and the improved quality of the copper base (accesses with speeds higher than 30 Mbps account for 13% of total broadband accesses, +4 percentage points year-on-year) explained the ARPU growth (+7.3% year-on-year in the quarter and +7.5% in the semester).

Pay TV accesses (1.8 million accesses) decreased by 1% vs. June 2015 due to the macro situation and commercial activity based on value. Thus, net losses in the last three months stood at 25 thousand accesses (26 thousand accesses in January-June). The greater weight of IPTV accesses (11% of the total vs. 7% one year ago) and the high-value plans in DTH enable a solid year-on-year growth trend in ARPU (+12.2% in April-June versus 12.9% in January-March).

Revenues for the second quarter amounted to 2,656 million euros (5,087 million euros in the first semester) and increased by 0.9% year-on-year (+0.8% in the semester) thanks to the progressive monetisation of data and despite the macro and regulatory impact (+2.8% ex-regulation), and lower handset sales (impact of -0.7 percentage points in year-on-year revenue growth in the quarter).

Mobile service revenues (1,505 million euros in April-June) accelerated their growth to 2.3% year-on-year (+0.4% year-on-year in the first quarter) mainly due to improved outgoing ARPU mentioned above, which more than offset the impact of the regulatory changes (+3.9% excluding this effect in the quarter and +3.6% in the first half of the year).

Data revenues, driven by greater 4G accesses and smartphones, posted a solid year-on-year increase of 24.8% in April-June (+24.4% in January-June) and accounted for 52% of service revenues (+9 percentage points year-on-year). Meanwhile, non-SMS data revenues, the main revenue growth driver, grew by 31.8% vs. the second quarter of 2015 (+30.5% in the first quarter).

Handset revenues decreased by 19.2% year-on-year in April-June, 8 percentage points more than in the first quarter due to lower commercial activity, which was focused on more profitable customers.

Fixed business revenues in the second quarter (1,072 million euros) increased by 0.8% with a slight slowdown of its growth rate (+2.0% in the first quarter) due to the higher impact of regulation in the last three months (+3.2% excluding regulatory impact, +4.5% in the first quarter).

Broadband and new services revenues stood at 402 million euros and increased by 4.8% vs. the second quarter of 2015 (+3.8% year-on-year in the semester), highlighting the strong growth in fibre revenues (+22.2%; +23.1% in January-June) and pay TV revenues (+13.9%; +17.3% in January-June).

Operating expenses totalled 1,817 million euros in the quarter (3,473 million in the semester) and continued to improve their trend (-2.9% in the quarter; -1.0% in the previous one) thanks to efficiency measures, synergies generated, more selective commercial spend, and despite the impact of inflation (+8.8% year-on-year). In the quarter, a provision was booked of 25 million euros , associated with the restructuring programme.

Supplies (535 million euros) decreased by 10.1% vs. April-June 2015 (-5.5% in the first quarter) mainly due to the reduction in termination rates (higher impact this quarter) and lower commercial activity with equipment (commercial activity focussed on profitable customers).

Personnel expenses amounted to 290 million euros and decreased by 0.3% year-on-year in the quarter (+4.6% in the first quarter) despite subcontract insourcing and wages update.

Other operating expenses (992 million euros) increased by 0.9% vs. April-June 2015 (+0.4% in January-March) as a result of greater network expenses partially offset by the energy cost reduction following a more homogeneous comparison from this quarter (-12.3% year-on-year).

OIBDA stood at 842 million euros in the second quarter of the year and at 1,647 million euros in the first half, 5.8% and 7.0% more than in the same period of the previous year, respectively. This performance reflects the improvement in mobile service revenues, the excellent execution of cost containment measures and the capture of synergies (37 million euros in the quarter; 85 million euros in the semester).

It is worth highlighting the progress made in the realisation of synergies after the GVT integration, with a large part of their NPV secured through projects such as brand unification, the nationwide launch of the 3P portfolio, the renegotiation of contracts with third parties and workforce restructuring. Thus, the execution of synergies, which was better than initial estimations, along with the additional opportunities identified, has built the case for a new scenario with trending NPV of about R$25bn.

OIBDA margin stood at 31.7% in the quarter (+1.5 percentage points year-on-year) and at 32.4% in the semester (+1.9 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx reached 792 million euros in the January-June period and recorded a decrease of 12.4% year-on-year (-12.2% in the quarter), benefiting from efficiency and optimisation projects supported by Big Data. Investment was allocated towards the expansion of LTE coverage, 3G capacity and greater FTTx penetration in order to guarantee higher quality in connectivity. Similarly, the Company, within the synergies plan, has generated synergies in CapEx of 47 million euros due to the GVT assets and infrastructure.

Thus, operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) totalled 855 million euros in the first semester, and accelerated to 33.6% compared to the previous year (35.3% in the quarter).

TELEFÓNICA HISPANOAMÉRICA

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica Hispanoamérica continued to make progress in executing its value accesses growth strategy, enabling it to increase contract, smartphones, LTE, pay TV and broadband penetration, which translated directly into a revenue increase.

This quarter, the year-on-year variation in revenues and OIBDA were affected by the lower weight of Venezuela in the organic growth of the Group after posting June 2015 results at the exchange rate of 197 VED/USD (SIMADI) vs. 50 VEF/USD in the first quarter of 2015.

Total accesses reached 134.4 million at June (+2% year-on-year) with a noteworthy progressive increase in quality. Thus, smartphone and LTE penetration increased by 6 percentage points to 39% and 10%, respectively and the broadband accesses with speeds above 4 Mb increased to 56% (+5 percentage points year-on-year).

In the mobile business, the contract base increased to 23% (+1 percentage points compared with June 2015) and quarterly contract net additions reached 249 thousand accesses, 2.5 times higher than that of the second quarter of 2015 underpinned mainly by the strong improvement in Argentina and Colombia. In the first half of the year, net additions increased to 564 thousand accesses (4 times higher than the same period of the previous year).

Competitive intensity in the region was reflected mainly in the prepay segment, which recorded negative net additions of 124 thousand accesses mainly by Chile, Peru and Argentina, although in all of those countries the loss was lower vs. the first quarter (-522 thousand accesses in the first half of the year).

The fixed business remained focused on services bundling and already 41% of accesses were in 3P or 2P offers (+5 percentage points year-on-year), with pay TV as the differentiating feature in all markets due to the higher number of high definition channels and exclusive content, mainly in Peru.

Broadband accesses (5.6 million) increased by 2% year-on-year following net additions of 17 thousand accesses in the second quarter which is lower than that of the same quarter of the previous year (61 thousand) as a result of lower commercial activity in Chile and Argentina. The level of churn decreased by 2.0% (-0.2 percentage points year-on-year), improving across all countries, a reflection of the increased focus on loyalty.

In pay TV (2.9 million accesses), a strong rate of year-on-year growth remained (+10%) after recording net additions of 55 thousand in the quarter, highlighting the strong increase in Colombia (+17% accesses year-on-year) and Peru (+15% accesses year-on-year).

Revenues for the April-June period stood at 2,961 million euros and grew by 3.6% year-on-year (+7.5% in January-June) underpinned by the higher quality base, which offset the regulatory impact (-1.2 percentage points in year-on-year change; -1.3 percentage points in the quarter). The slowdown in the year-on-year performance occurred mainly due to the aforementioned effect of the lower weight of Venezuela, the more competitive scenario in Mexico and a worse performance in handset sales (-9.1% year-on-year in the second quarter, -4.5% in the first).

Mobile services revenues remained practically stable in the quarter (-0.4% year-on-year), although the year-on-year trend worsened vs. first quarter (+13.4% year-on-year) due to Venezuela and Mexico, as mentioned previously. The main growth driver of revenues continued to be mobile data. Thus, non-SMS data increased by 26.6% and 37.5% year-on-year in April-June and January-June respectively.

Fixed business revenues continued to perform very well, accelerating their growth to 16.1% year-on-year in the quarter (+13.1% en in January-March) mainly as a result of the improvement in broadband revenues (+25.8% year-on-year in the second quarter). Thus, the five countries with fixed operations in the region posted positive growth and accelerated vs. the previous quarter.

Operating expenses increased to 2,171 million euros, 6.8% more than in April-June 2015 (4,408 million in January-June; +11.5% year-on-year) mainly due to the depreciation of the Latin American currencies, in particular the Colombian and Argentinian peso (mainly in the second half of the previous year), higher termination expenses and the higher commercial effort in some markets (especially Colombia and Peru). The slowdown in the year-on-year growth of operational expenses vs. the previous quarter (+16.3% year-on-year) was explained mainly by the lower weight of Venezuela mentioned above.

Supplies (894 million euros in the quarter) increased to 4.6% year-on-year mainly due to higher interconnection expenses associated with the launch of unlimited voice tariffs in some countries of the region, although they grew less than in the first quarter (+11.5% year-on-year) due to higher termination expenses in Mexico in the first quarter of this year.

Personnel expenses (364 million euros in April-June) increased by 19.0% vs. the same period in the previous year given inflationary pressure, mainly in Argentina and Venezuela. The slowdown vs. the previous quarter (+31.5%) is explained by the lesser weight of Venezuela.

Other operating expenses (913 million euros) grew by 4.3% year-on-year in the second quarter as a result of inflation and depreciation of Latin American currencies against the US dollar and the higher network expenses. The lower rate of year-on-year variation vs. the previous quarter (+14.9% year-on-year) is explained by the lesser weight of Venezuela.

Thus, the OIBDA increased to 836 million euros and decreased by 3.4% year-on-year (-1.2% in the first half; 1,701 million euros). OIBDA margin stood at 28.2% in the quarter (-2.0 percentage points year-on-year) and at 28.3% in the first half (-2.5 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx totalled 1,015 million euros growing 20.3% year-on-year (excluding 345 million euros in 2015; mainly spectrum acquisition in Argentina, Chile and Ecuador) and was devoted mainly to the deployment of 3G and 4G, and improvement and development of copper and fibre.

Telefónica Argentina

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica Argentina posted solid financial-economic results in the second quarter of the year, improving the year-on-year OIBDA performance. It is also important to highlight that the increase in the regulated monthly fee tariff to 38 pesos (previously 13 pesos) applies since 15 May 2016.

Additionally, the Company maintained the LTE accelerated deployment with a coverage of 73% (+18 percentage points year-on-year) and increased the quality of the base (LTE traffic represents 36% over total; penetration only 13%).

Telefónica manages 26.3 million accesses in June (stable year-on-year), 19.8 million of which are mobile (stable year-on-year). The latter, recorded net losses of 138 thousand accesses in the quarter (prepay accesses entirely) associated with higher churn of low-value customers (with no impact on revenues). In contract, the portability balance continued with the improvement trend showed since the fourth quarter of 2015 (+48 thousand accesses in the last three months; +18 thousand in the first quarter).

Churn in the second quarter stood at 3.1% (+0.3 percentage points year-on-year; -0.2 percentage points vs. the previous quarter) although at the end of the quarter there was a change in retention strategy with customers moving to plans adapted to their usage model.

Smartphones, with quarterly net additions of 232 thousand accesses (+701 thousand in the semester), totalled 7.9 million, increased by 13% year-on-year and reached a penetration of 41% (+5 percentage points year-on-year) driven by the swift adoption of LTE (2.5 million accesses vs. 430 thousand in the second quarter of 2015). Thus, mobile data traffic multiplied by more than 2 times vs. April-June 2015.

Retail broadband accesses stood at 1.9 million, stable year-on-year. The migration strategy towards higher speed services has improved its quality and now 35% of the base is in speeds of above 4 Mb (+3 percentage points year-on-year).

Revenues from the April-June period reached 709 million euros and grew by 17.3% year-on-year (1,398 million euros in the semester; +18.5% year-on-year). This performance is driven mainly by fixed revenues, positively impacted by the tariffs change.

Mobile service revenues totalled 373 million euros in April-June (+8.6% year-on-year; +11.2% in January-June) affected by the consumption slowdown in the economy and by the different timings in the tariffs update vs. the previous year. Meanwhile, data revenues (+2.4% year-on-year in the quarter) decelerated their growth vs. the previous quarter as they were positively impacted in the second quarter of 2015 from a change in the allocation of usage between voice and data. Thus, data revenues represented 48% of service revenues in the quarter, and 90% of data revenues are non-SMS (+12 percentage points year-on-year).

Handset revenues grew 1.2% year-on-year in the April-June period (+7.5% in January-June) as a result of higher commercial activity, the increased weight of smartphones and LTE and the transfer to the sale price of the Argentinian peso depreciation in the cost of handsets.

Fixed business revenues reached 287 million euros in the second quarter and improved their year-on-year change to 35.2% (+29.6% in the first quarter) on the back of the increase in the aforementioned monthly subscription fee, although that only impacted half of the quarter. Fixed broadband and new service revenues grew by 47.4% year-on-year in April-June (+45.9% in January-June) due to the higher quality of the access base, which increased its weight over total fixed revenues by 5 percentage points to 62%.

Operational expenses for the quarter amounted to 546 million euros, 23.0% more than in the same period of 2015 and 27.6% more than in the first six months, after improving the trend in the last three months due to different efficiencies implemented by the Company. Nevertheless, the increase in costs vs. the second quarter of 2015 were due to the higher level of inflation (impacting mainly personnel expenses) and higher commercial expenses (lower availability of handsets in the same period of 2015).

OIBDA amounted to 165 million euros in the quarter and grew by 0.6% year-on-year (314 million euros in January-June; -5.5% year-on-year) improving the year-on-year change vs. the previous quarter due to a more homogeneous comparison of commercial expenses. Thus, the OIBDA margin for the quarter stood at 23.0% and 22.2% in the first semester (-3.8 percentage points and -5.6 percentage points year-on-year respectively).

CapEx in the first half of the year totalled 311 million euros and increased by 65.2% year-on-year (excluding 204 million euros for the acquisition of spectrum in the second quarter of 2015) due mainly to the expansion of the 4G network and improvements in the fixed network. It should be noted that the year-on-year change cannot be extrapolated to the full year, due to the different execution levels of the investment in both years.

Telefónica Chile

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica Chile maintained the focus on the acquisition and retention of high value customers, despite competitive pressure, especially in prepay. The quality of the base continues to increase through the accelerated deployment of LTE, with population coverage of 80% at June (+10 percentage points year-on-year) and the increased migration of accesses to higher speed plans (51% of the broadband base are on speeds between 10Mb and 50Mb; +26 percentage points year-on-year).

Furthermore, the results are affected by the reduction in mobile termination rates (-19% from last 25 January) and the fixed network termination rates (-9% from 7 May 2016).

The total number of accesses stood at 12.5 million and decreased by 8% year-on-year due to the 18% decrease in prepay mobile accesses. On the other hand, mobile contract accesses accelerated their growth to 9% year-on-year, following quarterly net additions of 82 thousand (multiplying by more than 2 times that of the same period of the previous year) and a greater volume of gross additions (+34% year-on-year). Additionally, the positive contract portability balance accelerated in the second quarter to 30 thousand accesses (the highest level in 7 quarters).

Smartphones increased to 2.9 million and reached a penetration of 33% (+3 percentage points year-on-year). This resulted in a significant increase in mobile data traffic (+43% year-on-year in the quarter).

Retail broadband accesses grew by 1% year-on-year to 1.1 million, although quarterly net losses of 5 thousand accesses was registered in April-June (-8 thousand accesses in the semester) due to lower commercial activity. However, quarterly churn was reduced by 0.1 percentage point year-on-year thanks to loyalty focus.

Pay TV accesses amounted to 657 thousand and increased by 4% compared with June of the previous year due to a differential offering supported by service bundling, platform quality and the broadcast of high-definition channels. Net additions in the quarter improved to 11 thousand accesses (+1 thousand accesses in the quarter).

Revenues reached 524 million euros in the April-June period and decreased by 0.5% year-on-year (1,035 million euros in January-June; -0.6%). The year-on-year change is explained by the deceleration in mobile revenues (-4.9%) which was not completely offset by the higher growth of fixed revenues (+5.7%). Lower handset sales and regulation (-0.9 percentage points in the year-on-year change both in the quarter and the semester) negatively impacted the performance of revenues.

Mobile service revenues totalled 265 million euros in the second quarter (-5.0% year-on-year; -4.4% in the semester) and were impacted by lower prepay revenues and by the decrease in termination rates (-1.5 percentage points in the year-on-year change in the quarter; -1.4 percentage points in the first half of the year). It is worth noting that in yet another quarter there was a solid increase in data revenues (+28.7% year-on-year in the quarter; +32.9% in the semester) which accounted for 47% of mobile service revenues (+12 percentage points year-on-year).

Handset revenues decreased by 3.8% year-on-year (-4.7% in the semester) due to direct sale of prepay handsets through third party distribution channels and due to lower gross additions with handset sale.

Fixed business revenues increased to 229 million euros in the quarter and accelerated their growth to 5.7% year-on-year (+4.2% in January-March), driven both by fixed broadband and new services revenues (+13.7% year-on-year in the quarter) and pay TV revenues (+1.5%).

Operating expenses reached 364 million euros in April-June and increased 3.3% year-on-year (-0.9% in January-June) due to higher commercial and network expenses and the impact of the depreciation of the Chilean peso.

OIBDA totalled 168 million euros and decreased by 6.9% year-on-year in the quarter (344 million euros in the first six months; +1.2% year-on-year), mainly due to higher commercial expenses as a result of greater competitive intensity. Thus, the OIBDA margin stood at 32.1% in April-June (-2.2 percentage points year-on-year) and at 33.2% in January-June (+0.6 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx reached 215 million in the first six months of the year (+2.9% year-on-year, excluding 6 million euros for the acquisition of spectrum in the first quarter of 2015) and is mainly devoted to improve the 3G and 4G networks, both in coverage and capacity, as well as the expansion of the fixed network.

Telefónica Perú

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

During the second quarter of the year, Telefónica Perú recorded strong operational results in the high value segments, with a growing penetration in mobile contract, smartphones and pay TV. However, competitive intensity continued to be strong, mainly in prepay. It is worth highlighting the significant improvement in the year-on-year OIBDA in the quarter thanks to the costs reduction and efficiency measures, although results continued to be affected by the reduction in mobile termination rates (-19% since 1 April).

On the other hand, spectrum was awarded in the 26 May 2016 auction of one of the three blocks of 2x15 MHz on the 700 MHz band for LTE for an amount of approximately 282 million euros on the award date.

Total accesses reached 21.6 million, 2% less than in June 2015 and mobile accesses stood at 16.2 million, 4% lower due to the 11% decrease in the prepay base, which was affected by aggressive competition (quarterly net loss of 301 thousand accesses). On the other hand, the contract base recorded a strong growth of 11% year-on-year after recording net additions in the quarter of 68 thousand accesses (+210 thousand in the semester) driven by higher migrations from prepay.

Smartphones stood at 4.9 million and reached a penetration of 30% after recording quarterly net additions of 214 thousand accesses. LTE accesses invreased two fold year-on-year to 1.9 million and penetration increased by 6.1 percentage points to 11%. Thus, mobile data traffic grew by 88% compared with April-June 2015 (more than 2 times vs. January-June) driven by unlimited data tariffs.

The fixed business is leveraged on own-productions and exclusive pay TV content and bundling campaigns (65% of the traditional access base; +13 percentage points year-on-year).

Retail broadband accesses stood at 1.7 million (+6% year-on-year) and recorded quarterly net additions of 21 thousand accesses (+39 thousand accesses in the first six months).

Pay TV accesses (1.3 million) maintained a solid growth of 15% year-on-year, recording net additions of 21 thousand accesses in the quarter (+50 thousand accesses in January-June) driven by a differential offering and the broadcast of high-definition channels.

Revenues in the second quarter amounted to 620 million euros and decreased by 2.1% year-on-year (1,245 million euros in the first half of the year; -1.3% year-on-year), affected by the impact of regulation (-2.0 percentage points on the year-on-year change for April-June; -1.9 percentage points in January-June) and by the reduction of prepay revenues.

Mobile service revenues decreased by 7.5% year-on-year in the last three months (-5.8% in the first semester). Meanwhile, data revenues grew by 6.3% year-on-year in the quarter (+7.5% in the first half of the year) and accounted for 52% of total mobile service revenues (+7 percentage points year-on-year).

Handset revenues decreased by 2.7% year-on-year in April-June and changed the trend vs. the previous quarter (+4.0% year-on-year) due to the lower gross additions with handset sale.

Fixed business revenues stood at 288 million euros in the second quarter and accelerated their growth to 4.2% year-on-year (+3.3% in the first quarter of the year), underpinned by the sustained growth of pay TV revenues (+20.1% year-on-year; +24.8% in the previous quarter) and fixed broadband and new services revenues (+4.6% year-on-year; +1.2% in the previous quarter).

Operating expenses reached 425 million euros in April-June and decreased by 2.6% year-on-year (+1.6% in January-June) positively impacted by the reversion of a provision (canon expense) and by the efficiency measures generated, which more than offset the higher termination expenses due to the greater traffic generated, higher commercial expense and the impact of the depreciation of the Peruvian sol in expenses denominated in foreign currency.

Thus, OIBDA stood at 204 million euros in the quarter (391 million euros in the first half) and returned to grow (+0.3% year-on-year in April-June) vs. the decrease in the first quarter (-13.2%) due to the aforementioned cost containment efforts. OIBDA margin stood at 32.9% in the quarter (+0.8 percentage points year-on-year) and at 31.4% in the semester (-1.8 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx totalled 149 million euros (-10.5% vs. January-June 2015) and was mainly devoted to the improvement of the 3G and 4G networks and increasing speed in the fixed business. It should be noted that the year-on-year change cannot be extrapolated to the year as a whole, due to the different investment execution levels in both years.

Telefónica Colombia

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

In the second quarter of the year, Telefónica Colombia accelerated its revenue growth to 6.4% year-on-year underpinned by mobile data, pay TV and IT projects which offset the decrease in mobile termination rates (-42% from last 1 January) and an aggressive competitive scenario.

Mobile accesses stood at 13.2 million (+7% year-on-year) after recording positive net additions for the fourth consecutive quarter (+169 thousand accesses vs. -472 thousand accesses in the second quarter of 2015). The weight of contract increased to 26% due to gross additions (+12.7% year-on-year in the quarter, +18.0% in the semester) and due to churn containment (+1.7% in the quarter; -0.5 percentage points year-on-year) driven by the commercial offer simplification of the, direct channels strengthening and prepay to postpay migrations.

The strong growth in LTE accesses (almost 3x compared with June 2015) reflects the quality of the base, which has already reached 1.7 million (+13% penetration, +8 percentage points year-on-year) and increased population coverage to 46%. Smartphones also posted solid year-on-year growth (+21.7% year-on-year and penetration of 36% vs. 32% one year ago).

In the fixed business the bundling strategy continues to execute successfully and already represents 72% of fixed telephony accesses (+3 percentage points year-on-year). In the last three months, the commercial activity and churn improved across all products.

Retail broadband accesses (1.0 million; +1% year-on-year) posted quarterly net additions of 3 thousand accesses. As such, 40% of the base had plans with speeds equal to or above 4Mb (+8 percentage points year-on-year).

Pay TV accesses continued with its commercial traction and increased their growth to 17% year-on-year, benefiting from the higher number of channels broadcasted in high definition (82 channels and many of them already offered in the low-end bundle) and the content improvement. This enabled to post a new quarterly record of gross additions (61 thousand) and an increase in ARPU of 12.2% year-on-year. Net additions for April-June totalled 23 thousand accesses (+54.8% year-on-year and more than doubled that of the previous quarter).

Revenues amounted to 347 million euros in the second quarter (670 million euros in the first semester) and improved their year-on-year growth rate to 6.4% (+5.3% year-on-year in January-June). Stripping out the impact of regulation, revenue growth would have been 8.7% year-on-year (+7.4% in the first six months of the year).

Mobile business revenues (209 million euros) increased by 2.8% compared with April-June of 2015 (+2.0% in January-June) as a result of the better performance of service revenue and handset sales.

Mobile service revenues fell by 0.5% year-on-year in the quarter, improving vs. the first quarter (-1.1% year-on-year) due to the better performance of the data business that almost offset the decrease in voice revenues. Thus, non-SMS data revenue increased by 29.0% year-on-year (+21.4% in the previous quarter) supported by the well received “Todo en uno” (integrated prepay offer of voice, SMS and data offering).

Handset revenues in the second quarter grew 29.5% year-on-year (+19.5% in the previous quarter) as a result of a higher commercial activity, the greater weight of smartphones and LTE and the transfer to the sale price of the Colombian peso depreciation in the cost of handsets.

Fixed business revenues increased to 138 million euros in April-June accelerating their growth to 12.3% year-on-year (+9.3% year-on-year in the first quarter) boosted by IT sales (+112.9% year-on-year in the quarter, +83.1% the previous quarter) and pay TV (+30.7% and +35.4%, respectively).

Operating expenses stood at 247 million euros (+15.5% and 13.5% year-on-year in the quarter and in the first half of the year respectively), affected by the increase in interconnection expenses (associated with the success of the all destination plans), higher commercial expenses and the impact of inflation and depreciation of the peso against the US dollar.

Thus, the OIBDA amounted to 108 million euros in the second quarter (-9.7% year-on-year) and to 215 million euros in January-June (-8.9% year-on-year). The OIBDA margin stood at 31.0% (-5.5 percentage points year-on-year; 32.1% in the first half of the year, -5.0 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx (117 million euros the January-June; -8.2% year-on-year) reflected the deployment of and increase in mobile capacity and higher speed in the fixed network. It should be noted that the year-on-year variation cannot be extrapolated to the full year given the different execution levels of investment in both years.

Telefónica México

(year-on-year changes in organic terms)

Telefónica México second quarter results continued to be affected by the negative evolution of the competitive environment, with unlimited prepay tariffs offered by all operators and unlimited access to social networks, which has resulted in an increase in traffic and a sharp reductions in average unit prices of voice and data. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that in the last month of the quarter a slight stabilisation in the commercial aggressiveness has been observed with a downward revision of validities and limitation of data usage to 1 GB.

Likewise, the asymmetry in termination rates continued vs. the dominant operator, although the reduction of termination rates on non-dominant mobile operator networks (-25% voice termination from last 1 January) is reflected in the revenue evolution.

The total number of accesses stood at 27.2 million and grew by 10% year-on-year. Mobile accesses (25.9 million) increased by 12% year-on-year, highlighting the 24% growth of the contract base. Thus, net additions in the quarter increased to 273 thousand accesses (+1 million in the semester), with contract net additions of 8 thousand (+67 thousand in the first half of the year).

Smartphones continued to grow significantly (+42% year-on-year) reaching 11.5 million, with net additions of 573 thousand accesses in April-June (+1.2 million accesses in January-June) and a penetration of 45% (+9 percentage points year-on-year). LTE accesses (2.5 million) more than doubled vs. June 2015 and increased its coverage by 19 percentage points to 39%. In this context of unlimited plans, data traffic increased by more than 2 times year-on-year both in the quarter and in the semester.

Revenues amounted to 337 million euros in the second quarter, with a year-on-year reduction of 11.0% (746 million euros in the semester; -1.4% year-on-year) due to the lower service revenues, handset sales and the regulatory impact (-3.6 percentage points in the year-on-year change in the quarter; -3.3 percentage points in the first half of the year).

Mobile service revenues fell by 6.0% year-on-year in April-June (+3.2% in January-June) affected mainly by the performance of prepay revenues given the strong competitive intensity and the regulatory impact (-4.3 percentage points in the year-on-year change in the quarter; -3.9% in the semester). Data revenues decreased by 8.6% in the quarter (+1.6% in the semester) also affected by the competitive environment.

Handset revenues for the quarter decreased by 39.9% year-on-year (-14.3% in the first quarter) due to lower gross additions with handset sale and due to the direct sale of handsets through third party distribution channels.

Operating expenses stood at 287 million euros in the last three months and decreased by 5.5% year-on-year (+1.8% in the first half of the year; 606 million euros) due to the lower commercial and interconnection expenses associated with the tariffs reduction, that were partially offset by the higher network expenses (affected by the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the dollar).

OIBDA reached 62 million euros in April-June, and decreased year-on-year by 23.6% (168 million euros in January-June; -4.2% year-on-year) given the pricing pressure. Thus, the OIBDA margin stood at 18.4% in the quarter (-3.2 percentage points year-on-year) and at 22.5% in the semester (-0.7 percentage points year-on-year).

CapEx totalled 96 million euros in the first six months of the year (+4.6% year-on-year), and was mainly devoted for improving the network and the distribution channel.
