Relevant Events
América Móvil remains financially strong. We have kept our leverage down at 0.65 times net debt to EBITDA and the average life of our debt is 9.5 years. We have maintained adequate liquidity and a prudent foreign exchange exposure.
The industry has been experiencing a deceleration of subscriber growth; consequently our subscriber acquisition costs have fallen in most countries.
We seek to offer more and better services to our clients. For this purpose we have continued to make heavy investments that will keep us at the forefront of technological change and will allow us to offer our subscribers world-class services and innovative data communication solutions with state-of-the-art technologies.
Our market share in most of our operationssuch as Mexico and Colombiais higher in prepaid than in postpaid since we have greater coverage and cater to all clients, including those in rural areas. As of March 31st, our share of the postpaid market in Mexico was only 47% and we are working to improve it.
We have continued lowering prices and today our average price per minute of voice in Latin America is the lowest in the OECD block with the exception of that of the United States (Merrill Lynch Wireless Matrix 2Q09), which is primarily a postpaid market.
On April 20th at our annual Shareholders Meeting a dividend payment of 30 Mexican cents per share was approved. Such payment is to be made in one installment on July 24th. This represents a 15.4% increase in the dividend per share relative to the one made in 2008. Our shareholders also authorized to increase in $20,000,000,000 (twenty billion Mexican pesos) the outstanding amount of our repurchase program.

América Móvil Consolidated Results
Our second quarter revenues were up 11.2% year-on-year to 94.0 billion pesos. They were driven by service revenues that increased 15.9% annually on the back of strong data- revenue growth in most of our operations. Equipment revenues were down 17.3% from a year before as a result of slower subscriber growth and lower handset prices.
EBITDA totaled 39.3 billion pesos, having risen 13.4% on an annual basis. Our EBITDA margin was up nearly one point from a year before, to 41.8%, helped by our robust top line, our control of costs and the deceleration of subscriber growth and its corresponding impact on subscriber acquisition costs.
With 13.8% growth, operating profits increased slightly more rapidly than EBITDA to reach 28.0 billion pesos. Depreciation and amortization charges were flat relative to revenues, at 12%.
We generated a net financial income of 2.4 billion pesos in the quarter as foreign exchange gains of 4.8 billion pesos stemming mostly from the appreciation of the Mexican peso in the quarter vs. the U.S. dollar more than doubled our overall financial expenses.

We added 548 thousand subscribers in Mexico during the second quarter and at the end of June had 58.1 million subscribers in the country, almost 10% more than in the year-earlier quarter. Nearly half of our net additions were post-paid subscribers. We have been working in improving our postpaid market share, which as of the end of March was only 47%.
Led by data revenueswhich jumped 45% year-on-year buoyed by 3G data servicesour second quarter revenues totaled 34.9 billion pesos, with service revenues expanding 7.4% to reach nearly 30 billion pesos. Our average price per minute of voice kept on falling, coming down 16.4% to 5 U.S. dollar cents equivalent, the lowest among the OECD countries along with that of the US (Merrill Lynch Wireless Matrix 2Q09). The strong surge in data revenues and the 8.2% annual increase in MOUs explained the firmness of our Mexican ARPUs, which stood at 172 pesos in the quarter.
Our second quarter EBITDA rose 9.3% year-on-year to 19.8 billion pesos, with the margin climbing to 56.9% of revenues from 53.6% a year before propped by the deceleration of subscriber growth and its impact on subscriber acquisition costs, strict cost control policies and the expansion of data revenues.
Through June Telcels revenues totaled 68.4 billion pesos and its EBITDA 38.5 billion. They were up 3.6% and 10.1% respectively from the same period of 2008. The margin for the first half of the year came in at 56.2%, up from 52.9% a year earlier.

We finished June with 3.2 million clients in Chile, 16.4% more than the previous year, after adding 106 thousand subscribers in the second quarter.
Our revenues totaled 63.4 billion Chilean pesos in the period, 1.9% more than a year before, with service revenues falling slightly even as data revenues swelled 64.9% . The average revenue per minute of voice was down 36.1% over the year and 17.9% sequentially. For the most part, this reduction resulted from a 44% decline in mobile termination rates that took place towards the end of January. Interconnection revenues plummeted pressuring service revenues.
At 1.3 billion Chilean pesos the quarters EBITDA was down from the year-earlier quarter mainly as a result of higher subscriber additionsthree times as many as last yearand the impact of the reduction of mobile termination rates.
In the six months to June we had 130.3 billion Chilean pesos in revenues and 2.8 billion in EBITDA.

Colombia and Panama
We ended June with 27.1 million subscribers after adding 180 thousand clients in the quarter. Our subscriber base is up 12.1% annually. Just over 86% of our subscriber base in Colombia is prepaid, our market share has always been higher in this segment than in postpaid since we have superior coverage to reach to more clients and aggressive commercial promotions made possible by our heavy capital deployments.
With equipment revenues falling over 40% year-on-year total revenues for the quarter remained flat at 1.4 trillion Colombian pesos even though service revenues rose 5.1% annually. Revenues from data were up 33.4% in the period, providing good support to ARPUs. In Colombia, our average price per minute of voice was down 18% year-on-year to 4 dollar cents equivalent, one of the lowest in the world.
Our EBITDA came in at 704 billion Colombian pesos. The consolidation of Panama has created some distortions as the costs associated with the launch of our operations in that country has pushed down somewhat our EBITDA figures, which remained almost unchanged from a year before, with the margin flat at 49.8% of revenues. Absent the incorporation of Panama, a greenfield operation, it would have been 2.3 percentage points higher that that of the same period of 2008.
In the six months to June, revenues amounted to 2.9 trillion Colombian pesos and were 6.8% higher relative to the previous year. They were propped by service revenues that expanded 10.2% . EBITDA totaled almost 1.5 trillion Colombian pesos, the margin stood at 49.2% .

Altogether, our operations in the islands added 825 thousand wireless subscribers in the semester337 thousand in the second quarteralmost twice as many as the net gains of the same period of 2008. Our combined subscriber base ended June with 5.6 million, which represents an annual increase of 43.5% and of 6.4% over the quarter.
Revenues were somewhat higher than those obtained a year before at 535 million for the quarter, as wireless revenues rose 12.7% but fixed-line revenues continued to drift lower. The average price per minute of voice has fallen by nearly 15% over the year while traffic per subscriber has risen 11.1% . ARPU figures show a more pronounced decline, result of the dilution effect of subscriber growth in the prepaid segment.
EBITDA for the quarter was 189 million dollars or 35.3% of revenues. In absolute terms it was down 5.7% year-on-year with the EBITDA margin declining 2.5 percentage points on the costs of subscriber growth.

Tracfones net additions730 thousandmore than tripled those obtained in the second quarter of 2008, bringing the total net subscriber gains through June to 1.3 million. At the end of that month our subscriber base topped 12.5 million and was 23.6% bigger than a year before.
The quarters revenues came in at 400 million dollars surpassing by 7.6% those obtained in the same period of last year, with service revenues growing somewhat faster: 8.8% . We introduced a new brandStraight Talkthat combines the benefits of having large buckets of minutes with the convenience of not getting tied to a contract. Partly because of this, our average revenue per minute of voice declined 36.2% year-on-year and 27.5% sequentially. We saw improvements in MOUs of similar dimensions. Though ARPUs were down annually, so were the costs of airtime.
EBITDA for the period was 79 million dollars 9.4% lower that in 2008 on account of the much greater number of net subscriber additions. The quarters EBITDA margin was 3.7 percentage points lower at 19.8% .
In the six months to June, revenues amounted to 780 million dollars and EBITDA to 154 million dollars. Whereas the former were up 7.2% year-on-year the latter was down 5.9% on the faster pace of subscriber growth.
