During the year 2004, TPI Group's operating revenues increased by 6.6% to 605.9
million euros, despite the negative performance of Latin American currencies
against the euro. The Group's EBITDA amounted to 210.1 million euros, 17.0%
higher than the figure of 2003 and net profit grew by 24.2% up to 111.9 million
euros. These results are explained by:
• The good performance of advertising revenues within Spain, which improved
by 4.4% compared to 2003 up to 411.7 million euros.
• The revenues of Publiguias, the Chilean subsidiary, increased by 1.9% in
local currency, despite the non publication of Adenda, the addendum of the
Santiago de Chile residential White Pages directory, a biannual book.
However, advertising revenues showed a sound evolution, growing at 6.8% in
local currency. EBITDA improved 5.0% also in local currency, with an
increase of 1.1 percentage points in the EBITDA margin up to 37.6%.
• TPI Brazil experienced a decrease in revenues of 9.6% in local currency
due to more strict receivables and sales policies. However, during the
fourth quarter, publishing revenues climbed by 15.5% like for like. TPI
Brasil reduced its negative EBITDA by 3.7% in local currency to -4.9 million
euros, being newly affected by higher bad debt provisions coming from 2003.
• The increase in total revenues at TPI Peru of 8.4% in local currency. It
must be highlighted the contribution of the Internet business, which
experienced a revenues increase of 61.4% and accounts for 6.8% of total
advertising revenues. EBITDA rose by 30.5% up to 7.8 million euros, also in
local currency, due to efficiencies in costs.
With these results, TPI easily exceeds the initial 2004 year-end forecasts
announced during May 2004 of growth at constant exchange rates in revenues (+3/
+5%) and EBITDA (+9/+11%). At constant rates, revenues increased by 7.4% and
EBITDA by 17.6%.
Espana, which includes the revenues of TPI Edita (former Goodman Business
Press), increased its contribution to Group's revenues by 2 percentage points up
to 80.0%. EBITDA contribution of TPI Spain amounted 85.6% of total Group's
EBITDA. Excluding the revenues of TPI Edita, TPI Espana revenues rose by 8.9% to
484.7 million euros, mainly due to the following three factors:
• The Editorial business, which grew by 3.0% up to 371.9 million euros. This
division registered an organic growth, like for like, of 2.1% and 5.6%
experienced by the 110 Yellow Pages directories (105 directories in 2003)
and the 60 White Pages directories (62 directories in 2003), respectively
published.
• The advertising revenues related with the Internet Business, which rose by
16.4% up to 31.0 million euros and the advertising revenues related to
telephony information services, which reached 4.5 million euros, registering
an increase of 14.7%.
• And the strong performance achieved by the telephony traffic business line
(11888), whose revenues soared by 95.2% up to 46.6 million euros, and
represents 9.6% of total TPI Spain revenues.
In turn, EBITDA of Spain jumped by 18.3% up to 180.2 million euros, thanks to
the good evolution of operating revenues and cost control.
Latin America contributed with the remaining 20.0% of revenues and 14.4% of
EBITDA (positive EBITDA of 30.3 million euros). TPI Chile was the biggest Latin
American contributor to both revenues (73.7 million euros) and EBITDA (27.7
million euros).
In turn, the directories business of the Telefonica Group, which includes the
Argentinean company Telinver, recorded during 2004 an increase in total revenues
of 6.6% up to 628.1 million euros compared with 2003. EBITDA amounted 215.2
million euros, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.9%.

TERRA NETWORKS GROUP
In 2004, the operating revenues obtained by Terra Networks amounted 539.2
million euros, representing a decrease of 1.1% over 2003. It is important to
highlight that the year on year variation is affected by the changes produced in
the consolidation perimeter with the sale of Lycos, Inc. shares in October 2004.
Therefore, excluding this variation and the negative impact in exchange rates
fluctuations, total revenues would have increased 8%.
The Strategic Alliance with Telefonica Group has reached a revenue figure for
Terra Networks Group of 133.8 million euros at the end of December 2004 compared
with 101.1 million euros obtained in the same period of 2003.
The revenues breakdown by business line was as follows: 43.8% Access revenues
(+7.0% y-o-y), 22.1% Advertising and Online revenues (-16.3% y-o-y), 22.6% Value
added & Contents services revenues (+2.8% y-o-y) and the remaining 11.5%
Corporate Services and others revenues (-2.4% y-o-y).
Regarding the geographical revenues breakdown, Spain continues to be the biggest
contributor, weighting 44.4% of total revenues (37.2% in 2003), followed by
Brazil with 27.5% of total revenues (26.1% in 2003) and USA with 16.2% of total
revenues (23.1% in 2003). The remaining 11.9% mainly comes from Mexico (5.5%)
and Chile (5.3%).
During 2004, Terra Espana experienced a year over year revenues growth of 18.3%
to 220.3 million euros, mainly due to the growth registered in both ADSL access
subscribers (+14.0%) and VAS&Contents subscribers (+55.9%). As of December 31st,
2004, Terra Espana accounts for 336,259 paying subscribers, of which 147,223 are
narrowband clients and 189,036 are broadband clients. Moreover, Terra Espana has
2.1 million paying customers that have signed up for VAS & Contents products.
During this fourth quarter, it should be mentioned, among the new products and
services launched, the migration of ADSL Home clients to ADSL Plus platform in
order to increase portfolio quality and migrate all clients to higher
value-added products. It is also important to highlight the launch of Football
and Music, two news products that were followed by an important advertising
investment.
Brazil revenues stood at 148.8 million euros, registering an increase of 4.4%
over 2003 (+9.8% in local currency). Terra Brasil has exceeded the 1.25 million
paying access subscribers figure, of which 724,728 are broadband clients. Terra
consolidates its leadership in Brazil in access paying subscribers in internet,
and holds more than 50% market share in the broadband market. During this fourth
quarter, it should be mentioned, among the new products and services launched,
the incorporation of new European tournaments in the Sports channel and the
packages (UEFA and European Championships) for mobile and Internet.
EBITDA for 2004 stood at 20.9 million euros, representing a positive EBITDA
margin of 3.9% (-7.2% in 2003), compared with the negative 39.5 million euros
reached in 2003. This margin improvement has been possible through higher
revenues coming from our main markets and savings obtained in all operating
expenses. It should be mentioned the sharp decrease in personal costs (-20.0% in
2004) due to the headcount reduction carried out during 2004 (-28.8% to 1,606
employees).
The Alliance with Telefonica registered coverage of the value committed for the
whole year (79.6 million euros) of 101.3%.
Terra Networks registered a positive net income of 164.0 million euros compared
to a net loss of 172.7 million euros in 2003. Due to the incorporation of Terra
Networks within the fiscal perimeter of Telefonica Group during the year, Terra
Networks materialized in 2004 a tax credit of 306.5 million euros coming mainly
from the sale of Lycos Inc.. Also in 2004, Terra Networks recognized an
extraordinary loss of 25.8 million euros mainly resulted from the headcount
reduction carried out.
At the end of December 2004, Terra Networks's client base reached 6.3 million
paying subscribers (+24.8% over 2003). Access clients accounted for 1.8 million
(+8.6% vs. 2003), of which more than 1.1 million are broadband clients, the
majority of them being ADSL (+66.0% y-o-y).
It should be mentioned that 71.1% of the company's total paying customers had
signed up for VAS & Contents products. These clients have increased 32.8% in the
last twelve months up to 4.5 million, of which 3.2 come from the Strategic
Alliance with Telefonica.
At the end of December 2004, Terra Networks had a cash position of 529 million
euros.

ATENTO GROUP
The last quarter of 2004 reflected the results of the commercial effort made
throughout the year, consolidating the revenue growth registered since the
beginning of the year. By geographical countries, the commercial agreements that
have contributed the most to this evolution are as follows:
• In Brazil, the operations with VIVO, Unibanco and Telesp, which continued
with a sound growth rate, and the new clients Bradesco, Microsoft, Telemig
and Sul America.
• In Spain, the agreement with BBVA and the services with Gas Natural,
Repsol and Serviberia.
• In Mexico, the increased activity with BBVA and the consolidation of the
agreements with Amex, Infonatel, GE Seguros and British American Tobacco.
• In Puerto Rico, the agreement with AT&T.
• In Chile, the sales coming from Correos de Chile, Autopista Central and
Banco Paris.
• In Venezuela, the services with Electricidad de Caracas and Citibank.
• In Argentina, the increased activity with TASA and Unifon.
Atento Group operating revenues during 2004 amounted to 611.7 million euros,
24.1% more than in the same period of 2003. This increase was primarily due to
Atento Spain (revenues +29.4%), Atento Brazil (revenues +18.3%), Atento Mexico
(revenues +68.2%), Atento Argentina (revenues +77.4%) and Atento Puerto Rico
(revenues +71.6%). Excluding the negative exchange rate effect, revenues would
have increased by 28.4%. During the fourth quarter, the revenue growth trend
experienced since the second quarter of 2004 was consolidated, reaching the
highest level of revenues in the history of the Atento Group (178.9 million
euros).
The contribution of the external clients of the Telefonica Group continued its
upwards trend, reaching 44.1% of total revenues at the end of 2004, compared
with 37.0% in December 2003, as a result of the aforementioned commercial
progress.
By geographical regions, both Spain and Brazil contributed with 71.4% of total
revenues, the same percentage as in 2003, although Spain individually increased
its contribution to 39.0% (37.5% in 2003) and Brazil, in turn, reduced it to
32.4% (33.9% twelve months ago). Regarding the remaining countries, Mexico
increased its contribution (7.1% vs. 5.2% a year ago), as well as Argentina
(2.7% vs. 1.9% in December 2003) and Puerto Rico (2.8% vs. 2.0% twelve months
ago).
Operating expenses registered in 2004 a growth of 22.2% up to 524.0 million
euros (+26.3% in constant euros), primarily due to an increase in personnel
expenses (+25.4%) as a result of greater activity.
Cumulative EBITDA for the year stood at 90.8 million euros, a figure 36.6%
higher than in 2003 (+44.3% excluding the exchange rate effect). EBITDA margin
rose to 14.9%, a 1.4 percentage points improvement on the figure twelve months
ago. This margin places the Atento Group among the most profitable companies in
the 'Contact Center' sector.
The operating profit for 2004 amounted to 54.4 million euros compared with the
14.3 million euros registered during January-December 2003, due to a higher
EBITDA and a decrease in depreciations (-30.3% year-on-year) as a result of the
degree of maturity achieved in operations.
Net income in 2004 reached 18.2 million euros (-16.2 million euros compared to
2003). During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Atento Group recorded a positive
net income of 6.9 million euros for the fifth consecutive quarter.
At operating level, the Atento Group had 30,566 positions in place at December
31st 2004, 4,866 more than one year ago. The average number of occupied
positions for 2004 was 22,116, representing a level of occupation of 75% (74% in
2003).
Cumulative CapEx at the end of the fourth quarter totaled 22.8 million euros,
showing a year-on-year increase of 76.5%. This increase was mainly due to the
investments made by Atento Brazil to attend new services and clients at the new
Contact Center in Sao Bento and at the extended call center in Barrafunda, as
well as the opening of new platforms in Spain to attend new services and the
implementation of the new call center in Chile (Vicuna) and Mexico (Puebla).
Finally, operating free cash flow (EBITDA-CapEx) reached 68.0 million euros
compared with the 53.6 million euros generated in 2003.

CONTENT AND MEDIA BUSINESS
The Content and Media Business obtained operating revenues of 1,219.1 million
euros at 2004 year end, compared with the 1,378.5 million euros registered
during the same period of last year, mainly due to the consolidation by the
global integration method of the results of Antena 3 and its subsidiary Onda
Cero until the end of June 2003, along with Euroleague Marketing during the
first nine months of the year. These companies were subsequently removed from
the consolidation perimeter of the Telefonica Group. Without taking into account
these changes in the consolidation perimeter, consolidated revenues would grow
10.9% in relation to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the
positive performance of Endemol and ATCO in Argentina.
The consolidated EBITDA amounted to 182.6 million euros, compared with 210.3
million euros in 2003. Without taking into account the aforementioned changes in
the consolidation perimeter, the EBITDA growth would have been 9.2%.
The process of divestiture of non-strategic assets continued during the fourth
quarter of 2004, being totally removed from the consolidation perimeter the
Group's stake on Rodven, the Venezuelan music producer, and having agreed the
sale of Torneos y Competencias, the owner of the Argentinean football league
content rights. Furthermore, Telefonica has reached to a selling agreement with
Prisa Group in relation to the ownership of the Argentinean radio stations LS4
Radio Continental and Radio Estereo (100% owned by ATCO Group), subject to final
approval by the Argentinean competition defence authorities.
ENDEMOL
The Endemol Group generated revenues of 1,033.7 million euros during the year
2004, which was 13.1% more than in the previous year. Endemol obtained EBITDA of
180.9 million euros, up by 9.9% year-on-year, and it is noteworthy to highlight
the achievement of an EBITDA margin of 17.5%, in line with the previous year's
figure.
These results are due primarily to the good behavior of operations in
competitive markets where Endemol has operations, like United Kingdom and the
USA. The US subsidiary reached a year-on-year increase of 128.1% in revenues,
measured in local currency, due to the successful adaptation of Endemol format
library to the US market and the rebroadcast of past produced TV programs
through a local TV channels group, leaded by NBC. Even though Western Europe
continues to be the main contributor to Endemol Group revenues (76.7%), Endemol
USA represents the 13.2% in 2004 vs. 7.2% in 2003.
ATCO
Throughout the year 2004, the advertising market in Argentina has consolidated
the good trend initiated in 2003, having registered year-on-year growth of
approximately 39% in Capital and Gran Buenos Aires areas. At the end of 2004,
Telefe reaffirmed its position as the audience leader both on total population
and commercial audience, reaching 37.8% and 40.9% shares in these two metrics,
respectively, and followed by Canal 13, its main competitor, with 27.4% and
30.3% shares.
As a result of the aforementioned audience figures, cumulative advertising
market share achieved at the end of 2004 is 44.9% in Capital and Gran Buenos
Aires areas, 12.3 percentage points. higher than its main competitor's, and 4.5
percentage points higher than the one achieved in the same period of last year.
The company obtained revenues at the end of the year of 330.4 million pesos,
38.0% more than in 2003 and EBITDA climbed to 53.9 million pesos, 37.6 million
pesos higher than registered at the end of 2003.

TELEFONICA DEUTSCHLAND GROUP
Telefonica Deutschland Group obtained operating revenues of 319.5 million euros
in 2004, a decrease of 16.5% year on year, due primarily to the reduction in
revenues from narrowband services which has not yet been offset by the increase
in broadband business, which nearly accounted for 14.2% of the revenues.
With respect to the broadband business, an due to its wholesale nature, a new
method of equivalent ADSL lines accounting has been adopted, regarding the total
broadband capacity contracted per client. Thus, the total number of equivalent
ADSL lines in service for both German and UK markets reaches the figure of
497,180, which compares with the equivalent figure of 302,761 in 2003, providing
