RNS Number : 8032S  Cablevision Holding S.A.  13 March 2023

Cablevisión Holding announces its Full Year and Last Quarter 2022 Results

 

 

Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 10(th), 2023 - Cablevisión Holding S.A.,
("Cablevision Holding", "CVH" or "the Company" - BCBA: CVH; LSE: CVH; Level 1:
CVHSY), controlling shareholder of Telecom Argentina S.A. (NYSE: TEO, BCBA:
TECO2), announced today its Full Year and Last Quarter 2022 Results. Figures
have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") and are stated in constant Argentine Pesos ("Ps." or "P$")
as of December 31, 2022, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The Company's Management has applied IAS 29 (inflation adjustment) in the
preparation of these financial statements, following the provisions of
Resolution 777/18, issued by the Comisión Nacional de Valores ("CNV").

 

CVH Highlights (2022 vs. 2021):

§      Total Revenues reached Ps. 729,182 million, a decrease of 12.0% in
real terms as of 2022, compared to the same period of 2021, in a context in
which price increases for our services in 2021 weren´t sufficient to
compensate for the lag vis a vis inflation (94.8% interannually as of December
2022).

§    Total Costs (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization) reached Ps.
529,386 million, a decrease of 7.2% in constant currency, mainly driven by
lower costs on all items, except for employee benefits expenses and severance
payments, and bad debt expenses.

§      EBITDA reached Ps. 199,796 million as of 2022, a decrease of 22.6%
in real terms compared to 2021, mainly driven by lower revenues, partially
offset by lower operating costs, which resulted in a lower EBITDA Margin of
27.4% in 2022, compared to 31.1% in 2021.

§     Consolidated Net Loss amounted to Ps. 168,757 million. Consolidated
net loss attributable to the Controlling Company amounted to Ps. 100,704
million. Given the economic and market conditions, Telecom and the Company
assessed the recoverable value of the goodwill assets generated by the merger
of Telecom and Cablevisión as of September 30, 2022. Consequently, the net
income for the period contains an impairment loss, which amounts to Ps.
204,744 million in constant currency as of December 31, 2022. This impairment
does not affect assets other than mentioned goodwill and has no impact over
Telecom's operations or its cash generation capacity.

((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. 729,182 million in 2022, a decrease of 12.0% in
real terms compared to Ps. 828,831 million in 2021, mainly driven by the
difficulty of increasing prices for services along with an increasingly higher
inflation rate.

 

Following is a breakdown of Total Revenues:

 

 (millions of Ps. in constant Currency as of December 31, 2022)
 Mobile Services                                                  293,112    313,872   (6.6%)   40.2%   37.9%

 Fixed Telephony and Data Services                                89,023     114,792   (22.4%)  12.2%   13.8%
 Other revenues from services                                     5,782      4,515     28.1%    0.8%    0.5%

 Revenues from Equipment Sales                                    48,621     58,041    (16.2%)  6.7%    7.0%
 Total Revenues                                                   729,182    828,831   (12.0%)  100.0%  100.0%

 

Mobile Services Revenues decreased by 6.6% in real terms to Ps. 293,112 as of
2022, mainly due to the restatement effect as of December 31, 2022.

 

In Argentina, Personal mobile subscribers reached approximately 20.2 million
(+114 thousand compared to 2021) and around 43% of them are postpaid. Mobile
internet revenues reached 86% of Personal Argentina service revenues. Mobile
ARPU decreased 8.3% in real terms during the 2022 compared to 2021 (Ps.
1,102.6 in 2022 vs Ps. 1,201.9 in 2021). Mobile churn was 2.3% as of 2022,
compared to 1.5% in 2021.

 

On the infrastructure side, our subsidiary Telecom continued to enhance the
mobile internet experience of its clients through the deployment of the 4G and
4G+ networks throughout the country, reaching more than 14.8 million clients
with 4G devices. During 2022, the 4G technology traffic represented 95% of the
total traffic.

 

In addition, it has been preparing its network for the arrival of 5G
technology by expanding coverage, availability, and capacity of the network
through technologic reconversion and continuing the deployment of 4G. During
2022, 143 sites with mobile DSS 5G antennas were enabled in some of the
county's main cities, with the goal of preparing the technical and regulatory
conditions that allow the full development of the 5G network.

 

As of December 31, 2022, Núcleo customer base increased 0.1% to 2.2 million
subscribers, of which 21% are postpaid. Revenues from Núcleo services were Ps
25,077 million in 2022, a decrease of 22.9% compared to 2021, mainly due to a
decrease in ARPU measured in constant pesos, partially offset by the
appreciation of the Guaraní vis a vis the Argentine Peso.

 

Internet Services Revenues dropped 8.5% in real terms to Ps. 161,740 in 2022
mainly due to a 9.3% lower Broadband ARPU. Of the 4.1 million broadband
customers reached in 2022, around 84% subscribed to services with speeds of
50Mb or higher. Monthly churn increased to 1.6% in 2022, from 1.5% in 2021.

 

Telecom Argentina continues deploying FTTH technology (Fiber To The Home),
improving clients' connectivity experience with symmetric speeds of up to 300
Mb, with low latency and multiple devices connected, among other advantages.
As part of the initiatives to continue evolving the customer experience of
fixed internet services, during the end of this year, Telecom doubled the
internet speed to all its home customers (with HFC, FTTH technology).

 

Cable TV Services Revenues amounted to Ps. 130,904 million in 2022, a decrease
of 18.6% compared to 2021, mainly due to the restatement effect as of December
31, 2022.  Cable TV ARPU reached Ps. 3,006.9 in 2022, a decrease of 18.0%
compared to 2021. Additionally, Cable TV churn increased to 1.3% in 2022 from
1.1% in 2021.

 

During 2022 our subsidiary Telecom continued boosting its entertainment
proposal with innovative content and new national and international
productions, offering a top tier cross- platform experience to its clients.

 

Moreover, our subsidiary Telecom continued to focus on innovation, through
partnerships with renown national and international content producers such as
Disney+, Paramount+, Star+, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, in line with its
strategy of transforming it in a comprehensive platform its clients value and
continue to choose for its wide variety of content and differential
functionalities. Currently, Flow includes not only lineal TV, series, on
demand movies, documentaries, and co-productions, but also music and gaming
and it will continue to grow as the clients' needs evolve.

 

In addition, as a step forward into the technological evolution of its
platform Flow, it began activating the ISDBT digitalization service solution
to its analogical customers. This new solution allows clients connect to a
digital service from the traditional cable connection without needing a
decoder. This initiative started in the cities of Neuquén, La Plata, Córdoba
and Mar del Plata, as well as surrounding areas to each city, and continued to
expand in 2H22 to the City of Buenos Aires and some peripheral areas.

 

As part of the continuous renewal of customer premises equipment, it presented
a new self-installing decoder with differential properties of surround sound,
Google Assistant, integrated Chromecast, 4K resolution, HDR, Dolby Vision,
among others.

 

Furthermore, during 2022, Telecom launched Flow Flex, a new flexible pay TV
service that enables clients to hire the service for a few days period.

 

Fixed Telephony and Data Services Revenues reached Ps. 89,023 million in 2022,
a decrease of  22.4% compared to 2021, mainly due the restatement effect as
of December 31, 2022 and a decrease in the fixed telephony customer base.
Additionally, ARPU in fixed telephony reached Ps. 1,445.0 in 2022, decreasing
4.6% when compared to 2021.

 

On the corporate segment side, our subsidiary Telecom continued to develop a
series of initiatives aimed at businesses, accompanying them in their digital
transformation process, helping them evolve and grow their e-commerce
platforms, logistics and inventory, among others.

 

In addition, it continues adding proposals to its cybersecurity services
portfolio.

 

Revenues from equipment sales totaled Ps. 48,621 million in 2022, a drop of
16.2% in real terms compared to 2021, mainly due to a decrease in the
quantities sold, partly compensated by an increase in the average prices of
equipment.

 

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses (Excluding D&A and impairment of
PP&E and intangible assets) totaled Ps. 529,386 million in 2022, a
decrease of Ps. 41,379 million in real terms, or 7.2% compared to 2021.

 

This costs and expenses reduction was mainly the result of lower costs related
to revenues: programming and content costs, taxes and fees with the regulatory
authority and cost of equipment and handsets; as well as savings in other
costs: fees for services, maintenance, materials and supplies, interconnection
and transmission costs, other operating income and expense, and commissions
and advertising costs, partially offset by higher severance payments and
higher bad debt expenses. More than 99.8% of the costs and expenses are
related to Telecom Argentina operations.

EBITDA reached Ps. 199,796 million in 2022, a decrease of 22.6% in real terms
from Ps. 258,066 million reported for 2021, mainly driven by lower revenues,
partially offset by lower operating costs.

 

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of PP&E, intangible assets and
rights-of-use amounted to Ps. 456,124 million in 2022, an increase of 72.8% in
real terms compared to 2021. Given Argentina's complex macroeconomic
situation, our subsidiary Telecom - and therefore the Company- identified the
need to revise the recoverable value estimation made of the goodwill assets
assigned to the Cash-Generating Units (CGU) of Argentina. The analysis brought
to conclusion that the accounting value of the CGU was higher than its
recuperable value as of September 30, 2022. Consequently, the Company
registered an impairment of the goodwill asset of which amounts to Ps. 204,744
million in constant currency as of December 31, 2022.

 

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates totaled Ps. 819 million in
2022, compared to Ps. 769 million in 2021.

 

Financial Results net totaled Ps. 60,261 million as of 2022, compared to Ps.
90,076 million in 2021, mainly as a result of lower positive FX differences
and negative results of operations with securities and bonds, partially offset
by higher positive inflation adjustments results and lower debt interest
costs.

 

Income tax as of December 31, 2022 reached Ps. 26,491 million, from Ps.
(64,909) million in December 2021.

 

Net Loss for the period totaled Ps. 168,757 million in 2022, compared to a net
income of Ps. 19,970 million reported for the same period of 2021. The Equity
Shareholders net loss for the period amounted to Ps. 100,704 million.
