(1) EBITDA is defined as Total Revenues minus operating cost and expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of our performance. It is commonly used to analyze and compare media companies based on operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Nonetheless, EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, an indication of our financial performance, an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may compute EBITDA in a different manner; therefore, EBITDA as reported by other companies may not be comparable to EBITDA as we report it.
(2) EBITDA Margin is defined as EBITDA over Total Revenues.
OPERATING RESULTS
Total Revenues reached Ps. 44,328 million, a decrease of 9% compared to Ps. 48,725 million in 1Q18, mainly driven by lower revenues from services in constant currency.

Mobile Services Revenues decreased by 15% in real terms. This was mainly the results of lower sales in Argentina, which was partially offset by higher revenues in Paraguay operation ("Núcleo").
In Argentina, mobile subscriber amounted to 18.2 million and around 40% of them are postpaid. During the last twelve months, mobile plans increased 39%, lower than 54.8% inflation, resulting in a 11.5% lower ARPU restarted in constant currency (Ps. 225.5 in 1Q19 vs Ps. 254.8 in 1Q18). Revenues amounted to Ps 12,936 million, a decrease of 18.6%.
As of March 31, 2019, Núcleo customer base reached around 2.4 million subscribers, of which 16% are postpaid. Revenues were Ps 1,877 million in 1Q19, an increase of 21.3% compared with 1Q18.
Internet Services Revenues dropped 6% to Ps. 10,152 in 1Q19. Customer base and price increases, as well as the higher speed sold to the internet customers base, were not enough to compensate the 54.8% inflation rate in the year. Of the 4.1 million broadband customers reached in 1Q19, around 44% of them subscribed to services with speeds of 20Mb or higher. Monthly churn stood at 2% in 1Q19.
In March of 2019, Telecom Argentina started broadband brand integration under Fibertel, customers can choose "Fibertel Lite" for speeds up to 20Mb and Fibertel for speeds up to 100Mb.
Cable TV Services Revenues amounted to Ps. 9,575 million in 1Q19, a decrease of 9.1% compared to 1Q18. In spite of the 39% average price increases in Cable TV plans, ARPU reduced in real terms (as of March 31, 2019) from Ps. 993.1 in 1Q18 to Ps. 871.5 in 1Q19, a decrease of 12.2%.
Fixed Telephony and Data Services Revenues reached Ps. 6,865 million in 1Q19, an increase of 10.6% compared with 1Q18. The increase was the result of higher Data services revenues, those contracts are mainly set in us dollars and they have been impacted by the FX rate variations. Additionally, prices in fixed telephony services for both, corporates and residential had increased and ARBU in fixed telephony stood flat in real terms comparing to 1Q18.
Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses (Excluding D&A and impairment of PP&E and intangible assets) totaled Ps. 29,913 million in 1Q19, a decrease of Ps. 400 million, or 1.3% compared with 1Q18. These lower operating costs and expenses were mainly due to lower taxes and fees, commissions and advertising and cost of handsets sold. More than 99.5% of the costs and expenses are related to Telecom Argentina operations.
EBITDA reached Ps. 14,415 million, a decrease of 21.7% from Ps. 18,412 million reported for 1Q18, driven by lower revenues mainly in Mobile Services and Cable TV.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of PP&E, intangible assets and rights-of-use amounted Ps. 9,993 million in 1Q19, an increase of 17.8% compared with 1Q18. The increase was due to the impact of the amortization of the incorporations after March 31, 2018, as a consequence of the Capex Plan that Telecom Argentina is developing and the effect of the application of IFRS 16 since January 1, 2019.
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates totaled Ps. 103 million in 1Q19, compared to Ps. 78 million in 1Q18
Financial Results net totaled Ps. (402) million compared to Ps. 2.650 million in 1Q18. This result was mainly the impact of the peso depreciation on dollar denominated debt during 1Q19, which went from Ps 37.70 per dollar at the end of December 2018, to Ps 43.35 per dollar as of March 31th, 2019; compared with the 1Q18 which went from Ps 18.65 per dollar at the end of December 2017 to Ps. 20.15 per dollar as of March 31th, 2018; and due to the higher interest payments.
Income tax as of March 2019 reached Ps. (3,426) million, from Ps. (2,441) million in March 2018.
Net Income for the period totaled Ps. 697 million, a decrease of 93% from Ps. 10.213 million reported for 1Q18. This was mainly a consequence of lower EBITDA, related with a Total Revenues decreased in constant currency, and higher peso depreciation in 1Q19. The Equity Shareholders Income for the period amounted to Ps. (174) million.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (CAPEX)
During 1Q19, our subsidiary, Telecom Argentina, invested Ps 9,067 million, and amount 2.8% lower comparing figures with the 1Q18. The investments were focused on projects that maximize the network capacity and on the development of products and services that contribute to address the customer's needs that today demand for connectivity and data availability. Moreover, transmission and transport networks has been extended to unify the different access technologies, reconverting the copper fixed networks into fiber or coaxial-fiber hybrid networks, in order to face the increasing services demand from mobile and fixed clients. Likewise, significant investments have been made in the charging, billing and relationship systems with customers. Telecom Argentina aims to improve the capacity and coverage of its networks, which is key factor for the transformation towards convergent services with international quality standards, but also to leverage the content business, with Flow as an integral content platform and entertainment center, whose competitive advantages and differential features place it above other platforms. In relative terms, CAPEX reached 20.5% of consolidated revenues in 1Q19 compared with the 19.1% in 1Q18.
During the first quarter of 2019 Telecom Argentina has continued signing agreements with cities to increase the infrastructure of its mobile network (Almirante Brown, Malvinas Argentinas and San Antonio de Areco). The construction of new mobile sites expected in these plans is essential to enlarge the coverage and capacity of Personal´s 4G network, as well as the structures and last mile modernization in the whole network. In this way, not only connections´ speed and capacity improve, but also the customers´ browsing experience is renewed.
Personal´s 4G network, the fastest in Argentina, continues growing all around the country: there are more than 12.2 million clients who are able to use the service in more than 1,600 localities and in all the provinces´ capitals cities.
