(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. 62,762 million, a decrease of 4.5% compared to Ps. 65,735 million in 1Q19, mainly driven by lower revenues from Internet, Cable TV and Fixed Telephony and Data Services in constant currency.

Mobile Services Revenues amounted 23,127 as of March 31, 2020, increasing by 5.3% in real terms compared to 1Q19. This was mainly driven by higher revenues from Mobile services in Argentina, as a result of a higher ARPU and an increase in the number of clients. The commercial strategy was focused on achieving higher mobile portability through convergent offers and promoting the consumption of mobile internet.

 

In Argentina, Personal mobile subscribers amounted to 18.8 million at the end of 1Q20, increasing 3,8% compared to 1Q19, and around 41% of them are postpaid. In 1Q20, mobile service revenues in Argentina amounted to Ps 20,150 million (+5.0% vs 1Q19). Mobile internet revenues reached 78% of service revenues of Personal in Argentina (vs. 73% in 1Q19). During 1Q20, mobile ARPU was Ps. 352.0, resulting in an 5.1% higher ARPU restated in constant currency compared to 1Q19.

 

As of March 31, 2020, Núcleo customer base reached almost 2.4 million subscribers, of which 16% are postpaid. Revenues from Núcleo services were Ps 2,977 million in 1Q20, an increase of 7.0% compared to 1Q19. Mobile internet revenues represented 54% of 1Q20 service revenues (vs. 48% in 1Q19).

 

Internet Services Revenues dropped 9.3% to Ps. 13,656 in 1Q20, mainly due to the results of the restatement effect as of March 31, 2020 and a lower ARPU compared to 1Q19. Of the 4.1 million broadband customers reached in 1Q20, around 66% of them subscribed to services with speeds of 20Mb or higher, increasing from the participation registered in 1Q19 (44%). Internet ARPU was Ps. 1107.5 in 1Q20, decreasing 8.7% compared to 1Q19, mainly due to the restatement effect as of March 31, 2020. Monthly churn was 1.6% in 1Q20, compared to 1.4% in 1Q19.

 

Cable TV Services Revenues amounted to Ps. 13,120 million in 1Q20, a decrease of 7.6% compared to 1Q19. ARPU had a reduction in real terms from Ps. 1,353.3 in 1Q19 to Ps. 1250.5 in 1Q20, a decrease of 7.6%. It is important to mention that with the aim of offering the best entertainment experience, during the 1Q20 Telecom continued to promote new content and co-productions for its Flow platform. In addition, and in order to support the families during their isolation in their homes, Telecom allowed all its Cablevision´s customers to download the Flow application free of charge.

 

Fixed Telephony and Data Services Revenues reached Ps. 9,478 million in 1Q20, a decrease of 6.9% compared to 1Q19, mainly driven by the results of the restatement effect as of March 31, 2020.  Additionally, ARBU in fixed telephony increased 4.5%, from Ps. 466.4 in 1Q19 to Ps. 487.3 in 1Q20.

 

It is important to mention that, regarding the corporate segment, and in order to promote the development of the IoT (Internet of Things), Telecom announced the strategic alliance with the global provider NOKIA to incorporate the WING (Worlwide IoT Network Grid), a comprehensive and scalable tool. On the other hand, in the emergency and contingency scenario posed by the pandemic in Argentina, a series of initiatives were carried out by Telecom to allow corporate clients to connect remotely while disposing freely of their data consumption.

 

Revenues from equipment sales amounted to Ps. 3,203 million, decreasing 23.1% compared to 1Q19, mainly due to a decrease in the quantities sold, which was partially offset by an increase in prices of handsets.

 

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses (Excluding D&A and impairment of PP&E and intangible assets) totaled Ps. 40,808 million in 1Q20, a decrease of Ps. 3,541 million, or 8.0% compared to 1Q19. These lower operating costs and expenses were mainly due to lower labor costs, taxes and fees with the regulatory authority, commissions and advertising, cost of handsets sold, interconnection and transmission costs, programming and content costs. More than 99.8% of the costs and expenses are related to Telecom Argentina operations.

 

EBITDA reached Ps. 21,954 million, an increase of 2.7% from Ps. 21,386 million reported for 1Q19, as a result of lower costs, which decreased at a faster pace as compared to revenues drop.

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of PP&E, intangible assets and rights-of-use amounted Ps. 16,249 million in 1Q20, an increase of 9.6% compared to 1Q19. The increase was due to the impact of the amortization of the incorporations after March 31, 2019, as a consequence of the Capex Plan that Telecom Argentina has been developing.

 

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates totaled Ps. 92 million in 1Q20, compared to Ps. 153 million in 1Q19.

 

Financial Results net totaled Ps. (1,330) million compared to Ps. (597) million in 1Q19, as a result of lower inflation adjustment results ( Ps. 1,062 in 1Q20 compared to Ps. 5,565 in 1Q19), which was partially offset by positive FX results (including results of NDF) measured in real terms in 1Q20 for Ps. 1,092 million , compared to negative FX results measured in real terms registered in 1Q19 for  Ps. (3,144) million.

 

Income tax as of March 2020 reached Ps. (1,693) million, from Ps. (5,083) million in March 2019.

 

Net Income for the period totaled Ps. 2,774 million, from Ps. 1,034 million reported for 1Q19. This was mainly a consequence of lower total operative costs and income taxes, which was partially offset by lower revenues, higher Depreciations and Amortizations, as well as higher financial results. The Equity Shareholders Income for the period amounted a loss of Ps. 1,125 million.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (CAPEX - includes PP&E, Intangible Assets and Right of use Assets)

 

During 1Q20, our subsidiary, Telecom Argentina, invested Ps. 9,985 million, a decrease of approximately 25.7% compared to 1Q19. The investments were focused on projects related to the expansion of Cable TV and Internet services to improve the transmission and access speed offered to clients, deployment of 4G coverage and capacity to support the growth of the Mobile Internet Services, and the extension of the transmission networks in order to unify the different access technologies, reconverting the copper fixed networks into fiber or hybrid fiber coaxial networks. Moreover, the capacity of the mobile network in certain smaller cities of the country was expanded, and a continuous preventive maintenance was performed on all the networks to ensure continuity of service throughout the country. It is important to mention that thanks to the CAPEX made during the last years, Telecom was able to manage efficiently the significant increase in traffic generated by the COVID-19. In relative terms, investments represented 15.9% of consolidated revenues in 1Q20.
