3rd Quarter & 9 Mths Results

INTRODUCTION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In accordance with Spanish accounting principles, the Brazilian companies
acquired in August 1998, Telesp Participacoes, S.A. and TeleSudeste Cellular
Participacoes, S.A., are fully consolidated in 1999. To give a clear picture of
the impact of this full consolidation, the consolidated financial statements
include a detailed corresponding breakdown.
During the first nine months of 1999, Telefonica Internacional increased its
interest in some of the Brazilian companies acquired in August 1998. It bought
directly on the market and raised its stake in the consortium involved in the
privatisation of Telesp Participacoes, S.A. to 17.48% (compared with 16.8% in
June). At the end of September it had interests of 17.6% of TeleSudeste Cellular
Participacoes, S.A (no change from June) and 8.8% of TeleLeste Cellular
Participacoes, S.A. (compared with 8.1% in June).
In the course of the first half, CRT was split Into CRT Fixa and Celular CRT.
The Group maintains a 16.7% stake in CRT Fixa and, a 35.2% of Celular CRT
Participacoes after this company's capital increase in August. Both companies
continue to be reported by the equity method.
The accounting principles relating to consolidation goodwill changed last year,
with the maximum amortisation period being extended from 10 years to 20 years.
Amortisation reporting procedures in 1999 observe this new period except when
goodwill is expected to be recovered over a shorter period, whereas the criteria
applied in the first nine months of 1998 observed a maximum period of 10 years.
There has also been a change in reporting procedures for the depreciation of the
Peruvian and Brazilian concessions, which as from 1999 are included under the
heading 'Amortisation of goodwill', due to the conceptual similarity between
consolidation goodwill and these concessions. In past years, depreciation of
these concessions was reported under depreciation of fixed assets. But in this
quarter's accounts the figures for 1998 have been harmonised by applying the
same criteria in both years.
It should be noted that 'work in progress' has been reclassified. In 1998 it was
booked as a reduction in the cost of supplies but is now reported as an increase
in 'own work capitalised'. The figures corresponding to the first nine months
of 1998 have been recalculated to facilitate like-for-like comparisons with the
current year.
In January 1999, Telefonica sold shares representing 12.2% of Amper. It still
owns 12.2% of this company, which continues to be reported by the equity method.
Also in January, 100%-owned subsidiary Telefonica Intercontinental acquired
Austrian group European Telecom international GmbH. This company is fully
consolidated.
In January CTC acquired a 60% shareholding in the Sonda Group, which is fully
consolidated.
In the first quarter of 1999, Telefonica Internacional acquired another 1.44% of
Telefonica del Peru. This increased the Group's total shareholding to 36.44% at
end-September (31.5% in September 1998). This shareholding continues to be fully
consolidated.
In March Telefonica sold all its shares in Sofres Audiencia de Medios (25% of
the company) which Telefonica had until then reported by the equity method.
On 19 May Telefonica sold 100% of its subsidiary Temasa to Tyco Submarine
Systems Ltd. This company was previously fully consolidated.
Telefonica Media has gradually increased its stake in Via Digital over the
course of the first half, in several different operations (purchase from RTVE
and capital increase). At end-June 1999 it directly owned 68.6% of Via Digital's
capital. This company continues to be reported by the equity method due to an
19.6% stake that is pending to be sold.
In June 1999 Telefonica Internacional exercised an option to buy 19% of TLD's
capital, rising its stake to 98%. TLD continues to be fully consolidated.
Telefonica, S.A. acquired 5% of publishing group Pearson in June, and reports
this shareholding by the equity method.
In June, 35% of TPI's capital was floated on the Spanish stock market. TPI
continues to be fully consolidated.
In July Portugal Telecom, S.A. held a one for ten rights issue and Telefonica
subscribed for its full share. Later in July Telefonica bought 50% of Alianza
Atlantic Holding BV, which owns 950,000 Portugal Telecom shares. This raised
Telefonica's total stake in Portugal Telecom to 3.75%. This company continues
to be reported by the equity method.
In August, Telefonica Media, S.A.. bought 100% of radio group Uniprex, SA,
which is fully consolidated as from September.
In the year to September, the Telefonica Internacional Group reduced its
stake in Telefonica de Argentina to 27.21%.
Over the same period Telefonica Media raised its stake in Antena 3 de Television
to 46.92% in two stages, buying 17.09% in February and 6.43%
in July. Antena 3 is still consolidated by the equity company.

TELEFONICA, S.A. RESULTS
All management comments given in this report refer to the financial performance
of Telefonica S.A., with all subsidiaries in which Telefonica Internacional has
shareholdings reported by the equity method.
Telefonica S.A. posted consolidated net income in the first nine months 1999
of EUR1.41 billion (Ptas. 235.23 billion), up 44% on the previous year. This
growth rate was heavily influenced by one-off factors in the second quarter;
capital gains, from the TPI placement and sale of TEMASA, net of tax and
generic provisioning. Stripping these out, underlying growth was 19.1%
(compared to 31.8% in the first six months).
The 19.1% underlying growth came partly from EBITDA, (4 percentage points), and
the other 15.1 percentage points derived from the combined effect of higher
depreciation, lower results from Latin American subsidiaries and other
non-operating items (financial and extraordinary results and taxes).
- EBITIDA's contribution to growth was much smaller than in the first
half-year of 1999; 4 out of 19.1 percentage points compared to 21 out of
31.8 in the year to June. The reasons were;
- Changes in tariffs and interconnection rates from July cut EUR145
million off Telefonica de Espana's revenue. Otherwise Telefonica de
Espana's EBITDA would have shown a 1.2% rise rather than its actual
-2.1% fall. The effect would have pushed growth at Group's EBITDA to
3.4% rather than 0.8%.
- Telefonica de Espana's operating expenses rose significantly due to higher
supplies (interconnection expenses) and subcontracts aimed at stimulating
usage and increase customer loyalty (basically, commissions and
advertising). This, despite the continuing fall in personnel expenses
(-12.5%) thanks to downsizing in the parent company-Telefonica has
reduced its workforce by 7,978 employees since September 1998. It
now has a productivity ratio of 368.9 lines per employee (+22%).
- On the plus side, consolidated revenues rose by 9.6%, two percentage
points above first-half growth, which went some way towards offsetting
the slowdown in EBITDA growth. This seems to have been due to the success
of the sales drives over the period, as Telefonica de Espana sales grew
2.8% (compared to +3.6% to June) while sales at T. Moviles, T. Data and
the other subsidiaries grew at a healthy 31.6%, 29.3% and 19.7%,
respectively.
- Note too, that EBITDA margin at Telefonica Moviles grew faster than in
the first half of 1999 (+11.3% vs +7% to June) and now stands at 37.6% of
total revenue (vs 36.1% in June) this despite the rising subscribers
acquisition costs.
- The other 15.1 percentage points were explained by;
- Operating profits fell 12.5% y-o-y, mainly due to higher depreciation
charges at Telefonica de Espana as a results of the shorter depreciation
period applied for some of Telefonica de Espana's assets since the
beginning of the year. Stripping out this effect, operating profits
would have remained flat.
- Income before tax was up 36.2. This growth is attributable to lower net
extraordinary expenses - excluding the net effect of capital gains and
generic provisioning in the second quarter-coupled with improved net
financial results (25.3%), partially offset with the drop in equity
income from Latin American subsidiaries, affected by the macroeconomic
environment in the area. Extraordinary expenses went down mainly due
to the accounting criteria applied to Telefonica de Espana's 1999-2000
workforce rationalisation plant and the lower dismantled plan pending
depreciation.
- The effective tax rate has been lowered from 23.3% in September, 1998
to 18.7% in 1999 as a result of the application of provisions for
depreciation for investments in Brazil. These are deductible upon
calculating the expense for corporate tax and are eliminated in the
consolidation process.
Note that if we strip out the effect of cuts in Telefonica de Espana's
tariffs, in force since July 1, and the capital gains and generic
provisions in the second quarter, net income growth would have been 29%
y-o-y - in line with the comparable figure to June 99 (31.8%).
SIGNIFICANTS EVENTS:
- The IPO of Terra, by which up to 30% of the company's capital was placed
with retail and institutional investors, closed on November 16. Shares in
the company will be traded on both the Spanish exchanges and NASDAQ from
November 17 on. The flotation makes Terra the first Spanish internet company
to be launched on the stock market.
- On November 5 Telefonica share launched its third bonus share issue,
offering one new share for every fifty currently outstanding, in accordance
with the resolutions agreed at the March 1999 AGM. The capital Increase
extends to a total of 63,976,998 shares. The period during which eligible
shareholders may claim their free allocation opened on November 5 and closes
on November 19. Rights to the free allocation may be traded on the stock
market throughout this period. The new shares will carry identical voting
and financial rights as those currently outstanding.
- On November 3 the companies of the Telesp Group submitted a request to the
Brazilian market regulator, Anatel to approve a broad corporate and
operational restructuring, involving the companies within the Group. The
corporate restructuring will be effected through successive mergers beginning
with the merger of CTBC into Telesp, followed by the merger of Telesp's
successor into Telesp Par and, finally, the merger of SPT into Telesp Par.
The surviving Telesp Par will be the operating company that provides
telecommunication services in the concession areas under the corporate name
of Telecomunicacoes de Sao Paulo S.A. Telesp. The corporate restructuring
will not cause a change of control of TelesPar.
- At the end of October, Telefonica launched its MoviStar mobile telephony
services in Guatemala. The network used for the MoviStar PCS service is based
on CDMA technology.
- On October 15 the Spanish cabinet approved a series of tariff adjustments,
imposing a reduction in the nominal price for local calls during normal and
peak hours, from 4.52 pesetas to 4 pesetas per minute, effective from
November 1 1999 maintaining the current conditions of the initial franchise,
and a widening of the reduced-rate period for local calls. Provincial and DLD
tariffs were also cut, by 4.36% and 17.56% respectively.
IDL call tariffs are also due to fall, by 6.68%, before December 1 1999,
while the price of leased digital lines will be reduced by at least 14% for
national leased lines and by 26% for international leased lines from
December 15 on. As from January 1 2000, the price of fixed-to-mobile calls
will be out by 11.8%.
Additionally, a monthly flat-rate fee of Ptas. 4,000 for internet access
using ADSL technology was approved, along with amendments to the price of
internet packages providing 50 hours day-time access and 50 hours night-time
access (10% off the initial price in the case of the former and 20% off in
the case of the latter).
On the other hand, the resolutions adopted by the cabinet on October 15
give Telefonica the freedom to set prices for the different services it
offers, after August 1st 2000, according to a price-cap to be established,
adapted to the expected performance of the CPI.
Lastly, the cabinet approved a Ptas. 300 increase to monthly fees (Ptas.
100 from August 1 2000, Ptas. 100 from March 1 2001 and Ptas. 100 from
August 1 2001).

RESULTS ANALYSIS BY COMPANY
TELEFONICA DE ESPANA GROUP
Operating revenues amounted to EUR7.46 billion in the nine-month period.
The growth rate at this line slowed from 3.6% in the year's first half to
a cumulative 2.8% up to the end of September. The most significant impact
came from Telefonica de Espana, where 1H revenue growth of 2.6% cooled to
+1.7% in cumulative year-on-year figures. The impact of August 1998
tariff changes, we should note, is now smoothing out in y-on-y comparisons.
Set out below are the principal factors driving revenue growth:
- Positive performance of revenue from new services, strong expansion
in Intelligent Network, leased lines and ISDN, where the 293,007 basic
access and 7,998 primary access went up 99.1% and 73.5% respectively.
- Telefonica is fighting back against market share erosion. A moderate
advance in the period reflects both the commercial efforts deployed and the
company's good market positioning.
- Traffic growth is explained by a 6.1% increase in lines in service and a
9.8% growth in usage per line/day, that stood at 12.95 minutes per line
per day. Total traffic volumes moved up 13.9%, beating 1H growth by 0.7 p.p
- Higher interconnection revenues. This item now makes up 3.1% of Telefonica
de Espana revenues despite the price reductions of the past 12 months.
Specifically, the application from July onwards of new Interconnection
Reference Prices with mobile operators has eroded 3Q revenues by an
estimated EUR58 million.
- July tariff cuts have reduced third-quarter 1999 revenues by around EUR87
million.
If call tariffs and interconnections rates had stayed unchanged, Telefonica
de Espana Group revenues would have shown a 4.9% growth and those of Telefonica
de Espana a 3.8% increase, topping the first-half figures in both cases.
The revenues mix improved in the period, with long-distance services losing
weight and a higher contribution from monthly fees and local calls, including
internet traffic. Provincial and DLD reduced its revenue weight by 5.3 p.p.,
while local calls and monthly fees gained 4.4 p.p. ILD revenue's weight held
constant, since greater call traffic and the positive market share performance
were enough to outweigh lower tariffs and settlement rates.
Operating expenses growth quickened from 3.4% in the first six months to 6.3%
up to September. However, if we strip out the increase in interconnection
expenses incurred on higher market activity, third-quarter figures would
actually show a 2.0% reduction, mainly due workforce reduction efforts and
efficiency gains of recent quarters.
Another 3Q stand-out was sharply higher spending on advertising, promotions and
commercial efforts (enlargement of the sales force serving the 'Business'
segment: the PIVOT project) aimed at building customer loyalty and boosting
usage.
EBITDA, as anticipated, dropped back from 3.1% growth to June to a cumulative
1.3% decline in the nine-month period. The main reason explaining this
performance was the impact of the tariff cuts in Telefonica de Espana
results-from a positive 2.3% EBITDA growth rate in the 1H period to a negative
2.1% in nine-month figures.
Depreciation rose at a slightly slower pace, in line with the new depreciation
policy announced at the beginning of the year. Depreciation increased 15.8% to
end-September compared to the +18.4% recorded to June 1999.
Net extraordinaries results declined 45.1% in nine-month figures against
-32.4% in the 1H, due to the high charges related to the workforce
rationalisation plan at the end of 1998. The net reduction in Telefonica de
Espana headcount increased from 6,847 in the first half to 7,388 at the
September close, leaving workforce numbers at 51,366 and productivity at
368.9 lines/employee.
The tax rate held at around 23.2%. This was 9 p.p. higher than in 1998, because
of the lower provisions for workforce reduction in 1999.
TELEFONICA MOVILES GROUP
The Spanish cellular market surpassed 30% penetration in the month of
September after advancing 5.5 points in the 3Q period-an all-time record in
quarterly growth. Telefonica Moviles' net addition of 2,805,468 customers in
the first nine months makes it the fastest-expanding of all European
operators. The total customer base stood at 7,699,732, calculated according to
the usual conservative criteria.
The MoviLine analogue service now has 768,874 customers, thanks to the positive
performance of its MoviLine Optima pre-paid card, that already has more than
150,000 users, showing a temporary slowdown in its downward trend.
GSM service MoviStar reached 6,930,858 customers, more than doubling the
customer base as of September 1998. The main growth driver was again the
MoviStar Activa range of pre-paid cards, which went up 232% with more than
4,150,000 users.
According to the customer figures given by competitors, Telefonica Moviles
has a 3.7 million lead over its nearest market rival, 52% higher than in
September 98, or 90% higher if we take only the digital market. The gap between
estimated traffic share and customer market share is also much wider, perhaps
due to different methods of calculating customer bases. Both factors reinforce
the competitive advantages derived from maximising economics of scale.
Also in the third quarter, the number of roamers using the MoviStar network
was practically twice that of summer 1998, while short messages actually
tripled last year's figure.
Aware of mobile telephony's potential as a tool for real-time information
access, Telefonica Moviles has added the CNN news service to its existing
Reuters feature. MoviStar users can thus access top international news
agencies in addition to local providers like Antena 3, EFE and RNE.
Though the expansion of the customer base has inevitably entailed higher
commercial costs, the economies of scale allowed for a improved profitability
in the third-quarter of 1999. EBITDA margin rose to 40% of revenues. EBITIDA
margin before subscriber acquisition costs is logically some way up on last
year's.
Operating revenues of EUR2.67 billion (Ptas.444.77 billion) were 31.6% higher
than in 1998, while operating profit moved up 10% to EUR673.1 million
(Ptas.111.98 billion). These figures, moreover, reflect the company's
conservative criteria on income and expense accounting, which exerts a
magnified effect at times of heavy promotions of usage. Net income for the
nine-month period amounted to EUR419.7 million (Ptas.69.83 billion), an
increase of 14.4% vs. September 1998.
Capital expenditure to September was EUR516.9 million (Ptas. 86.0 billion), in
line with the increase In CAPEX budgeted for the year. This has enabled the
company to cope effectively with 67.8% greater traffic (9,621 million air
minutes to September 99), and further improve its already excellent quality
levels.
Significant events following the September 30 close include the launch at
Madrid IT fair 'SIMO' of 15 new products and services, with special emphasis in
new features improving access to internet through cellular phones. One such
initiative is the OLEADA portal-designed in collaboration with Terra Networks
for use from WAP handsets-and the first data communication system based on GSM
with billing by data volume.
TELEFONICA INTERNACIONAL GROUP
At end September, Telefonica Internacional had 20.1 million lines in service
(17.5 million lines under management), an increase of 10.1% year on year. This
growth is largely attributable to the increase in Telesp's and CRT's lines
(+26.8% and +19.9% respectively) though Telefonica del Peru also saw significant
expansion on the back of its 'Telefono Popular' launch in the second half of
1998.
In cellular business, the Telefonica Internacional Group had over 9.2 million
customers at September 30 (5.9 million clients under management), doubling the
figure of September 1998 and representing net additions vs. June 1999 of over
1.3 million. Companies managed reported y-on-y growth upwards of 40%, on
average, with best performances from Brazilian subsidiaries, building on the
launch of pre-paid cards in the first half of the year, and Startel (CTC),
after the February 1999 launch of the 'Calling Party Pays'.
The strategy to establish the second telecom operator in Central America is
showing a positive performance. For example, Telefonica El Salvador captured
a 31% market share in cellular telephony and a 40% share in ILD service in the
first year of operations. And Telefonica Centroamerica Guatemala, which
started to offer ILD services last July, had 21% market share at the end of
September.
Results from Latin American associated companies totalled EUR83.4 million in
nominal terms, a drop of 67.8% year on year. This was partially due to local
currency devaluation against the peseta, but the following factors also
explain this performance:
The EUR27.1 million losses of Telefonica Chile, compared to a EUR179.6
million profit in the same period last year. The reasons for the slide were
essentially:
- Ratification in August of the new tariff decree, taking effect
retroactively from last May. The impact of this measure amounts to
approximately EUR65 million less revenues in the May-September period.
- Increase in bad debt levels provoked by the country's economic recession,
which forced to make a provision for uncollectables of around EUR52.8
million (EUR38 million in the first nine months of 1998).
- Headcount reduction affecting 684 employees and entailing extraordinary
expenses of EUR22.3 million, as a result of severance indemnities.
- A negative 'correccion monetaria' (EUR96.1 million) as a result of the
Chilean peso depreciation vs. the dollar (11.2% since the beginning of
the year).
However, capital gains from the sale to Terra Networks of Telefonica Net
will be included in fourth-quarter figures.
- Telefonica de Argentina showed flat earnings vs. 1998 (EUR344.3 million, an
annual 1.2% drop in local currency and 0.6% increase in euros). Higher
depreciation charges (+6%) and non operating expenses (financial expenses
on the 1998 share buy-back) were the main factors explaining this
performance and offsetting the stable evolution of EBITDA. Note that in
1999, Telefonica Internacional reduced its stake in the company to 27.21%.
- Telefonica del Peru net income dropped 48.2% in euros and 42.2% in local
currency, mainly due to the slight reduction of EBITDA (-1% in local
currency), increased depreciation charges (higher depreciable asset base),
higher financial expenses arising from the 1998 share buyback and a negative
'correccion monetaria* (EUR51.8 million, due to the 8.7% Nuevo Sol
depreciation against the Dollar since the beginning of 1999).
- Small contribution of the Brazilian subsidiaries (EUR4.6 million). These
companies' net income were severely affected by the new depreciation policy
applied (which shortened the useful lives of certain assets) and the Reais
devaluation against the US Dollar, which led to significant negative
'correccion monetaria' figures, particularly at CRT, CRT Celular and
Teleleste Celular. Also, the more aggressive commercial policies deployed
by the cellular companies to face local competition have affected EBITDA
margins, showing annual decreases. Nevertheless all the Brazilian
subsidiaries reported higher EBITDA figures vs. previous quarters.
At TISA holding company level, the lower results from associated companies and
the higher financial expenses due to greater stock of debt were offset by
higher management fees (EUR117.8 million; +37.2%) and lower taxes. The
decrease in the corporate tax provision is explained by the application of
provisions for depreciation of the Brazilian Investments, deductible upon
calculating the expense for corporate tax and eliminated in the
consolidation process. Additionally, TISA has applied for export tax credit.
Both factors resulted in a 9.4% annual growth in net income that reaches
EUR131.8 million.
TELEFONICA DATA GROUP
In the third quarter of 1999, Telefonica Data Espana was awarded the type A
individual licence for supplying fixed-line telephony, enabling it to offer to
its corporate customers bundled voice and data services packages via one single
connection. The licence also allows interconnection with other operators and
their users.
In a step towards co-operating with other data units of the group, Telefonica
Data began collaborating with Telefonica de El Salvador and TIUSA to develop
their IP network.
Telefonica Data was Spain's first operator to launch a broadband ADSL service.
This service, called Megavia ADSL, is aimed at both ISPs wishing to offer their
users ADSL access and companies with teleworkers and small offices that are
seeking corporate network or internet access.
The Infonegocio service, providing information services through Internet (web
hosting, e-mail, e-commerce, etc), is experiencing steady growth. From June
1999 to September 1999 it sold 14,142 packages, a 130% increase on the 6,154
sold in the year to June, this figure rising to 21,084 by October (+243%).
Telefonica Data also signed an agreement with SAP (the world's leader in
integrated management systems) to enhance its range of services to SMEs. As a
result, SAP Espana is to introduce its ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
system onto the IP network. This is a business management system allowing any
company to manage all its business activities on the internet in real time.
In the year to September 30, Telefonica Data operating revenues totalled
EUR432.3 million, ie, 29.3% growth on the same period in 1998. Operating
expenses grew on the back of the expansion in business, but with just a 14.1%
increase was far behind revenues.
As a result, EBITDA went up 83.4% year-on-year, with net income reaching EUR28.7
million.
At the operating level, dedicated ports increased by 5.7% while the number of
IP network switched ports rose by 116.7% to 36,270.
TELEFONICA MEDIA GROUP
Its results depend on the financial performance of its subsidiaries, notably
Antena 3 and Via Digital.
Antena 3
Operating revenues in the year to September were EUR353 million (Ptas.58.74
billion), with a 21.3% annual growth and a 26% increase in the third quarter
of the year over Q3-98.
The EUR97.9 million operating profit (Ptas. 16.29 billion) represented a 34.6%
growth on the previous year. This was explained by healthy performance in both
sales and operating expenses (increasing 4 percentage points slower than
sales) and despite a higher depreciation charges (+26.3%). The ongoing margin
improvement begun in 1998 continued, and at the end of September, operating
profit margin stood at 27.7% of revenues against 25.0% in September 1998.
Net income came out at EUR59.3 million (Ptas. 9.87 billion), with a 55.5%
growth, outstripping the increase in operating profit, due to the lower
financial expenses derived from the 1998 capital increase, which cut the
company's borrowing requirements, and the interest rate cuts.
Out of the company's EUR18.2 million total investments in September,
the acquisition of Movirecord, a distributor of cinema advertising, accounted
for EUR17.2 million.
Antena 3 maintained its leadership as the top private commercial TV channel in
September, and was the nation's favourite choice of evening viewing,
registering more stable viewing figures than any other channel in the month.
Via Digital
At end-September (1) Via Digital had 356,572 clients, 43,838 up on June 1999
and 36% year-on-year. On figures up to October 31, Via Digital billed 400,331
clients, confirming the acceleration trend in the expansion of the customers
base. This is the result of the improvement in the sport contents,
particularly the broadcast of football matches in both European competitions
and the Spanish league. In September, gross additions tripled and
cancellations went down by 40%.
Note that Via Digital's revenues went up by 67.4% in the year to September,
far ahead of the 36% expansion in the client base. In the same period,
however, it reported EUR126.1 million losses, compared with the EUR101 million
loss registered in the same period of 1998.
TERRA GROUP
The Telefonica Interactiva Group has renamed itself Terra Group. It has also
changed the brand and domain names of the Telefonica Group's portal and access
businesses in all target market countries to 'Terra', while sticking to local
brands in all established markets (Brazil and Mexico). The company is
currently immersed in its IPO, due to end on November 17, when the stock
starts trading on the secondary markets.
Continuing with the rapid expansion it has experienced since Q2-99, the Terra
Group provided access to 860,930 clients and acted as portal for 290 million
web page visits in September.
Among the most significant developments, note its acquisition of Informacion
Selectiva SA de CV, (Infosel) through the agreement reached with the Reforma
group in July 1999. Infosel is Mexico's second-ranking ISP in the SOHO and
residential markets. With its 49,000 client base it is the country's leading
portal, directing visits to 27 million pages in September. Terra group has
also agreed with Amadeus to set up a joint 50-50 company called 'Joint
Initiative Amadeus Telefonica', providing travel services over the web in both
Europe and Latin America.
The expansion strategy into the Spanish and Portuguese speaking markets
continued with the purchase of the Argentine portals Gauchonet and
Donde.com and the establishment of subsidiaries in Peru and Chile. It also
signed a strategic alliance with Infovia S.A., Guatemala's main ISP, to
become integrated within the Terra Group.
In Spain, ISP Teleline began marketing ADSL technology with three types of
offers depending on the speed the client requires (familiar, class and
Premium).
(1) The company's sales booking criteria mean the customer base calculated for
each month corresponds to the base of the 15 of said month.
TPI-RAGINAS AMARILLAS GROUP
Operating revenues for the first nine months moved up by 34.1%, mainly due to
the following factors:
- Increase in revenues from the 42 Paginas Amarillas directories (yellow
pages) published by the Group.
- Publication of two additional Paginas Amarillas directories.
- Higher revenues generated on the Paginas Blancas directories published to
September 30, 1999 than on the same directories in 1998, boosted by
revenues from the 11 new directories published for the first time in 1999.
- New contract signed with Telefonica in May 1999, regarding revenues from
the publication and distribution of Paginas Blancas directories.
- Contribution of Paginas Amarillas On-line and Paginas Habladas (talking
pages). Though still marginal in quantitative terms, revenues from these
businesses achieved significant growth rates.
EBITDA surged 42.2% y-o-y in the first nine months of 1999, mainly due to
revenue growth outstripping expenses increases. Operating expenses rose as a
result of higher production costs (materials, printing and distribution) due
to the production of two extra Paginas Amarillas directories and eleven more
Paginas Blancas. On the other hand, the stronger sales of both paper
directories and on-line products (Paginas Amarillas On-Line and paginas
Amarillas On-Line and Paginas Amarillas Habladas) led to higher commissions
paid to sales agents and a increase in marketing expenses. Lastly, following
implementation of the new Paginas Blancas contract with Telefonica, EBITDA now
includes fees to Telefonica for the transfer of Paginas Blancas commercial
operations to TPI.
Net income totalled EUR 54.5 million (Ptas. 9.08 billion), up 131.5% This
figures includes extraordinary income of EUR22.5 million (Ptas. 3.75 billion)
mainly from the sale of subsidiaries (Venturini, Estratel and Doubleclick) in
the first half of 1999. Extraordinary expenses included EUR8.76 million (Ptas.
1.46 billion) related to the early cancellation of the previous Paginas
Blancas contract.
Two major new products were launched by TPI in the course of Q3. Firstly, the
new Paginas Amarillas On-Line home page, allowing more user-friendly
navigation by presenting the most often consulted products and services on the
net in a 10-category directory. And secondly, TPI's Plataforma de Comercio
Electronico, or e-commerce platform, hosts over 500 shops in 21 different
categories. This platform's launch was accompanied by a special promotion,
offering all interested companies free design, web hosting and maintenance for
their virtual stores. The e-commerce platform for Paginas Amarillas has
payment gateways to several banks and is backed up by the electronic payment
system SET.
TELEFONICA INTERCONTINENTAL GROUP
Telefonica Interncontinental, a 100%-owned Telefonica S.A. subsidiary, made
considerable progress during the third quarter of the year.
European Telecom, an Austrian company specialised in marketing and distributing
telecommunication services, has consolidated its place as Austria's number-two
alternative telecoms operator by increasing its customer
base to 10,249. The company has also furthered its expansion with the launch
of new projects for the extension of its network.
These projects include the roll-out of an IP data network embracing the six
largest Austrian cities, in collaboration with Lucent Technologies. Through
this network the Group plans to offer internet access, web-hosting and web-page
design services.
This company's radio access project is due to be implemented in two stages
pilot phase, in Vienna only, followed by roll-out to Austria's five largest
cities. The company is currently negotiating the necessary authoritations with
the Austrian government.
On 20 October Telefonica Acea was created, with an estimated capex of EUR200
million. The new subsidiary should begin operations in the first quarter of
the year 2000. This new company will develop a network infrastructure for Rome
and the entire Lazio region, with the aim of providing internet and e-commerce
services, incorporating direct access for corporate clients and value added
services for residential customers. Other projects include the roll-out of an
IP network and provision of complementary radio access services for certain
SMEs.
At the first board meeting of Medi Telecom, the consortium awarded with a
second mobile telephony in Morocoo, a business plan envisaging a capex of EUR226
million and the creation of 1,100 jobs over the 1999-2002 period was

be up and running by April 2000.
