(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. 237,024 million, a decrease of 8.3% compared to Ps. 258,518 million in 2018, mainly driven by lower revenues from Mobile, Internet and Cable TV services in constant currency.

Mobile Services Revenues amounted 82,195 as of December 31, 2019, decreasing by 7.5% in real terms compared to 2018. This was mainly the results of the restatement effect as of December 31,2019, which was partially offset by the increase in the prices of mobile plans.

 

In Argentina, Personal mobile subscriber amounted to 19.1 million at the end of 2019, increasing in more than 768 thousand clients compared to 2018, and around 40% of them are postpaid. Mobile internet revenues reached 76% of service revenues of Personal in Argentina (vs. 59% in 2018). During 2019, mobile ARPU was Ps. 317.1, resulting in an 3.6% lower ARPU restated in constant currency compared to 2018.

 

As of December 31, 2019, Núcleo customer base reached more than 2.3 million subscribers, of which 17% are postpaid. Revenues from Núcleo services were Ps 11,132 million in 2019, an increase of 8.2% compared to 2018. Mobile internet revenues represented 50% of 2019 service revenues (vs. 45% in 2018).

 

Internet Services Revenues dropped 9.3% to Ps. 52,649 in 2019, mainly due to the results of the restatement effect as of December 31, 2019. Of the 4.1 million broadband customers reached in 2019, around 62% of them subscribed to services with speeds of 20Mb or higher, increasing from the participation registered in 2018 (38%). Internet ARPU was Ps. 1,058.8 in 2019, decreasing 9.7% compared to 2018, mainly due to the restatement effect as of December 31, 2019. Monthly churn stood at 1.5% in 2019.

 

Cable TV Services Revenues amounted to Ps. 49,406 million in 2019, a decrease of 11.0% compared to 2018. ARPU had a reduction in real terms, from Ps. 1,314.2 in 2018 to Ps. 1,165.4 in 2019, a decrease of 11.3%. It is important to mention that with the aim of offering the best entertainment experience, an integrated content search solution of Netflix was included by Telecom in Flow´s decoder browser. In addition, Flow continued to promote national fictions through premiered new coproductions during the last part of 2019.

 

Fixed Telephony and Data Services Revenues reached Ps. 37,562 million in 2019, an increase of 5.5% compared to 2018. The increase was the result of higher Data services revenues, mainly driven by the growing position of Telecom Argentina as an integrated ICT provider (Datacenter, VPN, among other services) in the segment of Corporate and Government customers. Additionally, prices in fixed telephony services for both, corporates and residential, have increased and, consequently, ARBU in fixed telephony also increased 6.1%, from Ps. 416.6 in 2018 to Ps. 442.2 in 2019.

 

Lastly, Revenues from equipment sales amounted to Ps. 14,438 million (vs. Ps. 19,744 in 2018). This variation was mainly due to a decrease in the quantities sold in a general context of lower consumption of durable goods and difficulties in the access to consumer financing, partially offset by the increase in prices of handset sales.

 

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses (Excluding D&A and impairment of PP&E and intangible assets) totaled Ps. 160,236 million in 2019, a decrease of Ps. 12,031 million, or 7.0% compared to 2018. These lower operating costs and expenses were mainly due to lower cost of taxes and fees with the regulatory authority (in line with a decrease in activity), commissions and advertising, cost of handsets sold, interconnection and transmission costs, programming costs, partially offset by higher Fees for Services, Maintenance, Materials and Supplies, bad debt expenses and labor costs. . More than 99.8% of the costs and expenses are related to Telecom Argentina operations.

 

EBITDA reached Ps. 76,788 million, a decrease of 11.0% from Ps. 86,251 million reported for 2018, driven by lower revenues, mainly in Mobile, Internet and Cable TV Services.

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of PP&E, intangible assets and rights-of-use amounted Ps. 61,277 million in 2019, an increase of 13.5% compared to 2018. The increase was due to the impact of the amortization of the assets incorporated after December 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, which was partially offset by assets that have stopped amortizing in 2019.

 

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates totaled Ps. (187) million in 2019, compared to Ps. 363 million in 2018.

 

(6,293)

 

Income tax as of December 2019 reached Ps. (14,216) million, from Ps. 4,340 million in December 2018.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (CAPEX)

 

During 2019, our subsidiary, Telecom Argentina, invested Ps. 70,865 million, an increase of approximately 8.3% compared to 2018.

Telecom Argentina aims to improve the capacity and coverage of its networks, which is a key factor, not only for the transformation towards convergent services, but also to leverage the content business, with Flow as an integral content platform and entertainment center. In relative terms, investments reached 29.9% of consolidated revenues in 2019, compared to 25.3% in 2018.
