América Móvil’s first quarter of

2021 financial and operating report

 

 

Mexico City, April 27th, 2021 - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX, AMOV], announced today its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2021.

 

 

We added 6.0 million wireless subscribers, one third more than a year before, of which 3.3 million were postpaid and 2.8 million were prepaid. Brazil, Mexico and Colombia were the main contributors.

 

 

On the fixed-line platform we added 246 thousand broadband accesses, most of them coming from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

 

 

First quarter revenues of 248 billion pesos were nearly flat in Mexican peso terms from the year-earlier quarter with service revenues declining 1.1% year-on-year and equipment revenues 0.7%.

 

 

At constant exchange rates service revenues expanded 1.2% year-on-year. Mobile service revenues were up 1.7%, whereas fixed-line service revenue growth turned slightly positive for the first time in eight quarters.

 

 

EBITDA rose 5.2% in Mexican peso terms to 81.7 billion pesos; at constant exchange rates it grew 8.1%. Our EBITDA margin increased almost two percentage points from a year before to 32.9% on the back of strict cost controls across all markets.

 

 

Our operating profit, 41.1 billion pesos, was up 5.7% whereas our comprehensive financing cost was down 55%, resulting in a swing in net profits to 1.8 billion pesos from a 28.9 billion loss a year before.

 

 

Our cash flow enabled us to cover capital expenditures of 24.9 billion pesos, buy back shares in the amount of 4.4 billion pesos and reduce our net debt by 9.9 billion pesos.

 

 

At the end of March, our net debt stood at 627 billion pesos; it was equivalent to 1.77 times EBITDA under IAS 17.

 

We will host our conference call to discuss 1Q21 financial and operating results on April 28th at 9:00 am Mexico City time. To access the call please log on to www.americamovil.com/investors

The reported figures for Argentina corresponding to the first quarter of 2021 are presented in accordance with a) IAS29 reflecting the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting that became mandatory after the Argentinean economy was deemed to be hyperinflationary in the third quarter of 2018 and b) IAS21 translated to Mexican pesos using the end-of-period exchange rate.

All comparisons at constant exchange rates for América Móvil’s consolidated figures will exclude Argentina to ensure consistency.

Relevant Events

 

 

On March 2nd we launched a three-year exchangeable bond in the amount of 2.1 billion euros. The bond carries no coupon and was sold at a price of 104.75%, which results in a negative yield of -1.53% per annum. The bond may be exchanged at maturity for 672.4 million KPN shares—which represent a 16% interest in the company— at a price of 3.1185 euros per share.

On April 26th we held our Ordinary Shareholders’ meeting where we received approval to pay a dividend of MXP$0.40 (forty peso cents) in two installments to each of the series of our capital stock and to allocate an additional amount of MXP$25 billion pesos to our buyback fund. We also received approval to cancel all shares held in treasury acquired as part of AMX’s share-buyback program.

Access Lines

 

 

In the first quarter we added 3.3 million postpaid subscribers and 2.8 million prepaid subs for a total of 6.0 million wireless additions. Brazil led the way in terms of postpaid growth adding 2.4 million subs followed by Peru with 210 thousand and Colombia with 154 thousand. As regards prepaid, we ended the quarter with 192 million subscribers, after adding 812 thousand in Brazil, 500 thousand in Mexico, 298 thousand in Colombia and 213 thousand in Argentina.

On the fixed-line platform we added 246 thousand broadband clients, with almost every operation showing an increase in access lines, except for Austria where we had disconnections of low-bandwidth clients. We registered net disconnections in of voice and PayTV accesses.

We ended March with 374 million access lines, 2.8% more than a year before with our postpaid base and our fixed-broadband accesses increasing 7.8% and 4.7%, respectively.

América Móvil Consolidated Results

 

 

The strong economic expansion in the United States that had gained momentum in the second half of 2020 continued unabated in the first quarter of the year propelled by news of a second fiscal stimulus plan, talk of a new infrastructure program and solid progress on vaccination. U.S. economic growth forecasts for 2021 were upgraded and initially led to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar vs. most other currencies on the back of rapid increases in medium and long-term dollar interest rates. Various Latin American countries, including Mexico and Brazil, experienced new COVID waves that led to renewed confinements, constrained mobility and a slowdown in economic activity.

Our first quarter revenues totaled 248 billion pesos, nearly flat in nominal peso terms, with service revenues declining 1.1% year-on-year. At constant exchange rates, service revenues actually increased 1.2%, slightly slower than in the preceding quarter when they had risen 2.2%. As in the prior quarter, the main reason for our consolidated nominal peso revenues to decline even though they had risen in local currency terms have mostly to do with the sharp depreciation of the Brazilian real vis-à-vis the Mexican peso, -20.4%.

The expansion of service revenues was driven by that of mobile service revenues, which decelerated to 1.7% from 4.1% the prior quarter, and was supported by the continued recovery of fixed-line services. The latter’s revenue growth turned positive, 0.1%, after several quarters of negative growth, on the back of continued strong performance of fixed-broadband services which became our most important revenue line in the quarter maintaining its nearly 8% annual pace. We registered an important improvement in corporate networks, with revenues expanding 2.4% in the quarter compared to a 2.9% decline in the fourth quarter, which tipped into positive territory the overall expansion of fixed-line revenues.

The deceleration of mobile service revenues mirrored that of mobile postpaid revenues, which slowed down in Brazil, Colombia and Austria. Prepaid revenues, for their part, maintained their pace of growth at 2.4%.

EBITDA rose 5.2% to 81.7 billion pesos. At constant exchange rates it was up 8.1% with the EBITDA margin expanding almost two percentage points to 32.9% supported by strict cost controls across all markets. Most countries registered strong EBITDA growth: 59% in the U.S., 47% in Puerto Rico, 36% in Peru and 15% in Dominicana.

With our operating profit increasing 5.7% to 41.1 billion pesos and our comprehensive financing cost coming down by 55% year-on-year to 35.9 billion pesos, bringing our net income to 1.8 billion pesos from -28.9 billion a year before. Net profit was equivalent to 3 peso cents per share or 3 dollar cents per ADR.

We gained 522 thousand subscribers in the first quarter, most of them prepaid subscribers, to finish March with 78.3 million subscribers. On the fixed-line platform we disconnected 185 thousand accesses, of which 167 thousand were land-lines.

Revenues totaled 71.5 billion pesos, with service revenues flat year-on-year, -0.1% as those coming from mobile decreased 0.2% and those on the fixed-line platform remained practically unchanged. The recovery in fixed-line revenues was driven by fixed-broadband and corporate networks that expanded 2.5% and 1.6%, respectively, compensating the decline in voice revenues. Equipment revenues were down 11.7% on lower handset sales, partly stemming from the global shortage of chips.

EBITDA was up 3.6% from the year-earlier quarter to 28.8 billion pesos and the EBITDA margin reached 40.2%, a 2.3 percentage points expansion in the period on operational efficiencies, as we become increasingly digital.

Argentina

 

For comparison purposes all comments in this section related to annual variations of the presented period for Argentina refer to figures in constant peso terms, that is, adjusted for inflation in accordance to NIC 29. Information for Uruguay and Paraguay is not presented in the table.

We added 332 thousand new wireless subscribers in Argentina in the first quarter of which 119 thousand were postpaid. On the fixed-line segment we carried on with our fiber rollout and gained 37 thousand new broadband clients.

First quarter revenues of 32.5 billion Argentinean pesos were 8.8% lower than a year before in after-inflation (real) terms. Service revenues of 26.2 billion Argentinean pesos showed a sequential improvement of 1.1%; but they were still down 10.9% annually.

Revenues on the mobile segment improved as a result of price increases that were conducted on a monthly basis during the quarter, with service revenues rising 1.1% on the prepaid segment and declined 16.5% in postpaid. Fixed-line service revenues were up 6.1% over the year on the back of broadband revenues that expanded 26.2% and of PayTV revenues that, although from a smaller base, climbed 51.3% annually following the launch of our IPTV services.

EBITDA came in at 12.9 billion Argentinean pesos and was 3.8% lower than a year before, compared to -15.0% in the fourth quarter and -9.1% in the third. The EBITDA margin increased by two percentage points relative to the prior year, to 39.6% of revenues.

Brazil

 

Claro remained on a strong growth path adding 3.2 million subscribers in the first quarter, 2.4 million of them postpaid, to finish March with 66.3 million subscribers. After the new additions, our postpaid base increased 19.4% year-on-year. Claro was the only operator in the first quarter to keep a positive balance from Mobile Number Portability and obtained a record number of subscribers ported-in. On the fixed-line platform we disconnected 375 thousand accesses in the quarter, including 191 thousand PayTV clients and 159 thousand land-lines.

First quarter revenues were nearly flat year-on-year, declining slightly, -0.2%, to 9.8 billion reais as service revenues dropped 0.4% with those coming from mobile services increasing 5.1% and those originating in the fixed-line platform falling 4.6%. Service revenue growth slowed down in the quarter, particularly in mobile, as a consequence of a new wave of COVID-19 contagion that resulted in reduced mobility as well as to a much reduced level of support from the federal government.

Postpaid drove revenue growth on the mobile platform, expanding 6.8%, whereas prepaid revenues were off 1.1%. On the fixed-line platform service revenues came down 4.6% brought down by PayTV services (-13.3%) and voice revenues (-15.9%); fixed-broadband service revenues continued to expand at a solid pace, 7.2%, as we held on to our leadership position in the ultrabroadband segment.

EBITDA increased 5.3% from the year-earlier quarter to 3.9 billion reais with the EBITDA margin expanding 2.1 percentage points from a year before to 40.0% buoyed by significant reductions in administrative expenses.

Since March we have made “Claro Pay” available to all our clients. It is a digital wallet that allows for payments and transfers through the mobile.


In January we launched our “Claro Box TV” service, available through streaming and with voice commands, which may be self-installed, reducing the operational costs associated with the service. Generally we reinforced the positioning of our sports products at a time when the search for this type of content is surging.

Colombia

 

 

Mobile net additions trebled relative to the year-earlier quarter reaching 452 thousand subscribers, a third of which were postpaid clients. On the fixed-line segment we connected 89 thousand new broadband accesses and 54 thousand PayTV units.

Revenues rose 9.8% year-on-year to 3.5 trillion Colombian pesos with service revenues expanding 7.9%. On the mobile segment, service revenues increased 4.4% with prepaid revenues growing somewhat faster. Fixed-line service revenues for their part continued to accelerate to 13.7% on the back of broadband revenue growth that reached 21.7% (from 20.9% in the fourth quarter and 16.1% in the third) and PayTV revenues that increased 12.1%.

First quarter EBITDA came in at 1.5 trillion Colombian pesos exceeding by 10.3% that obtained a year before—its best performance in at least that period—with administrative expenses coming down in line with provisions for bad debt. The EBITDA margin for the period was equivalent to 43.2% of revenues.

We finished the first quarter with a positive balance from Mobile Number Portability as subscribers greatly value the quality and speed of our network, our efforts to provide the best customer care and the unmatched coverage of our platforms. Claro provides 4G services in 99% of the municipalities of Colombia.

Chile

 

 

In the first quarter we gained 146 thousand wireless subscribers—108 thousand postpaid—with no major change in fixed-line RGUs, ending March with 6.6 million subscribers.

Total revenues topped 200 billion Chilean pesos, slightly higher than a year before, with service revenues coming down 1.7% year-on-year. The rate of decline has slowed, from -5.7% in the precedent quarter and -7.2% in the third quarter.

Mobile service revenues were down 3.7% —compared to -10.5% in the prior quarter—partly as a result of our subscriber growth. We registered 146 thousand net subscriber gains in the first quarter, 56% more than a year before. Postpaid revenues were down 2.7% after high single digit declines in the past two quarters, while prepaid revenues fell 11.9%; the latter represent only 10% of our mobile revenues. On the fixed-line platform revenues increased 0.9% annually with broadband and PayTV rising 7.4% and 4.8%, respectively.

EBITDA of 44.5 billion Chilean pesos was up 3.6% from the year-earlier quarter, as the margin reached 22.3% of revenues, 70 basis percentage points higher than a year before.

As part of an auction that concluded in the first quarter, Claro was granted the use of 400MHz of spectrum in the 26GHz band to be used to provide 5G services in Chile.

Ecuador

 

 

First quarter revenues totaled 253 million dollars and were down 17.4% year-on-year with service revenues declining 13.4%, consequence of the rough economic situation the country has been undergoing for some time, which was exacerbated by the sanitary crisis.

Mobile service revenues fell 14.8% over the year with postpaid revenues still heavily impacted by deteriorated credit-scoring from our clients, many of which have migrated to prepaid. The recovery of prepaid service revenues can be seen in their having declined only 1.8% in the first quarter compared to -4.2% in the fourth quarter and -12.3% in the third.

We continued to make inroads in the broadband segment as we expanded our fiber footprint. Broadband service revenues increased 15.3% compensating for the decline in PayTV and Corporate network revenues that resulted from disconnections of clients that could not afford to maintain their service.

EBITDA was off 15.2% to 110 million dollars. However, the EBITDA margin improved 1.1 percentage points to 43.2% as we have been making extraordinary efforts to reduce costs, particularly our cost of service and our selling and marketing expenses, both of which dropped approximately 17%.

Peru

 

 

We added 233 thousand mobile subscribers in the first quarter, most of them postpaid, ending March with 11.2 million subscribers, whereas in the fixed-line segment we gained 66 thousand clients, three quarters of which were broadband clients.

First quarter revenues of 1.4 billion soles were up 11.5% year-on-year with service revenues expanding 7.7%, with those coming from mobile clients rising 4.2% and those on the fixed-line segment jumping 19.1% as broadband revenues soared. The latter, up 41.5%, has become our fastest growing revenue line.

We have been expanding our fixed-line infrastructure and the number of homes passed, and launched at the end of the period our IPTV platform that offers convergence between OTT content and traditional TV channels.

Our greater operating leverage allowed for a 36.4% EBITDA expansion, to 546 million soles. The EBITDA increase also reflects a reduction of bad debt charges and an improvement in the margins of our equipment sales. The EBITDA margin for the period climbed 6.9 percentage points from the prior year to 37.8% of revenues.

Claro remained a net gainer from Mobile Number Portability in the first quarter.

Central America

 

 

Altogether we added 524 thousand wireless subscribers in Central America in the first quarter, almost all of them prepaid. Many clients had to disconnect their lines during the sanitary crisis and have migrated to prepaid plans, which have generally been buoyed by the high level of remittances flowing into the region from the U.S. We are facing strong demand for broadband services as remote work and education persist and mobile has been the primary means of access to Internet in the region. On the fixed-line platform we gained 44 thousand clients, most of them broadband accesses.

Total revenues were slightly lower than a year before with service revenues that were flat after several quarters of declines. Mobile service revenues contracted 0.5% yet, with a marked improvement in prepaid in all major markets with revenue growth accelerating to 6.4% from 2.8% the prior quarter whereas postpaid revenues contracted 7.9%. Fixed-line service revenues expanded 0.5%, with those from broadband increasing 7.0% and those from voice dropping 12.3%.

EBITDA growth accelerated from 7.5% in the fourth quarter to 9.6% in the current period to reach 240 million dollars. At 41.3% of revenues, the EBITDA margin came in 3.7 percentage points above the prior year.

Caribbean

 

 

Our operation in Dominicana added 26 thousand fixed-line accesses and 122 thousand wireless subscribers, 75% more than a year before, of which 102 thousand were prepaid subscribers. Puerto Rico gained 18 thousand wireless subscribers in the quarter compared to disconnections of two thousand in the year-earlier quarter, and saw practically no changes on fixed-line RGUs.

Revenues were up 4.3% in Dominicana as service revenues rose 4.7% year-on-year. On the mobile platform, service revenues increased 4.8% on the back of prepaid revenues that were up 11.0%. Fixed-line service revenues increased 4.5%—improving from 1.7% in the precedent quarter—on the back of an 18.1% increase in broadband revenues. Revenue growth and reductions in selling, marketing and administrative expenses—including bad debt provisions—resulted in a 15% increase in EBITDA to 6.8 billion Dominican Pesos, with the EBITDA margin expanding 4.7 percentage points from the year-earlier quarter.


In Puerto Rico, revenue growth accelerated to 12.1%, as revenues reached 223 million dollars in the quarter, with service revenues increasing 7.3%. On the mobile platform we registered service revenue expansion of 16.8% with postpaid revenues growing twice as fast as prepaid. Nonetheless, prepaid revenue growth exhibited a marked acceleration, from 1.0% in the prior quarter to a pace of 9.9% in the present one. On the fixed-line segment, service revenues declined 3.6%. EBITDA rose 47% annually on the back of solid revenue growth and falling selling, marketing and administrative expenses, including bad debt provisions. The EBITDA margin climbed 4.9 percentage points from the year-earlier quarter to 20.8%.

United States

 

 

In the first quarter we added 201 thousand subscribers. The figure compares to disconnections of 172 thousand subs in the same quarter of 2020.

Revenues rose 3.8% year-on-year and topped two billion dollars with service revenues rising 3.3% and equipment revenues 7.0% as the COVID-related plans fueled demand for the service. ARPU was up 3.3% to 28 dollars.

EBITDA jumped 59.3% to 185 million dollars, as the EBITDA margin expanded 3.1 percentage points from a year before, to 9.0%.

A1 Telekom Austria Group

 

 

We added a total of 67 thousand mobile subscribers. In the postpaid segment we gained 191 thousand clients, mostly mobile WiFi routers across all countries, and in prepaid we disconnected 124 thousand subscribers, part of which have migrated to postpaid. On the fixed-line platform we gained 29 thousand RGUs. In Austria we had disconnections of low-bandwidth broadband and PayTV accesses, but our operations in Eastern Europe more than compensated with new broadband clients.

Total revenues increased 0.8% to 1.1 billion euros growing in all segments other than in Belarus where they declined because of the depreciation of the ruble vs. the euro. Service revenues were up 0.6% driven by those coming from fixed-line services which expanded 1.8%; those from mobile services were down 0.4%.

EBITDA rose 4.7% year-on-year to 398 million euros. Before restructuring charges it was up 5.7% with rising EBITDA margins in almost all segments. Growth was driven by operational efficiencies that more than offset the negative impact of roaming revenues, particularly in Austria as travel restrictions restrained winter tourism. In Austria, EBITDA excluding restructuring costs rose 4.4% year-on-year.
