For the 6months to 30 June 2007, total revenues were 3,587 million euros, an increase of32.0% in local currency compared to the 5 month period to 30 June 2006. On alike for like basis total revenue growth was 10.4%. Net service revenue for the3 months to 30 June 2007 was 1,689 million euros, an increase of 11.4% in localcurrency compared to the same period last year, driven by continued strongcustomer and ARPU growth. Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) for the 3 monthsto 30 June 2007 was 468 million euros, an increase of 5.1% in local currencycompared to the same period of last year. OIBDA in the first half totalled 890million euros, an increase of 18.6% in local currency compared to the 5 monthperiod to 30 June 2006. On a like for like basis, OIBDA was flat. OIBDA in thesecond quarter included a restructuring charge of 14.8 million euros relatingmainly to the reorganisation of the sales and marketing teams. Excluding thischarge, growth in local currency would have been 8.4% in the second quarter. Asexpected, this reverses the trend seen in the first quarter, when on a like forlike basis OIBDA declined by 4.6%. OIBDA margin in the second quarter was 25.6%, compared to 26.9% in the samequarter in 2006 and 24.0% in the previous quarter. Excluding the restructuringcharge, margin would have been 26.4%. OIBDA margin for the first half was 24.8%,while excluding restructuring charges it was 25.2% The quarter again saw tough competition in the market, but the businesscontinued to perform well. Gross additions in the quarter were around 10% lowerthan the same period in 2006, reflecting the increasingly mature nature of theUK market but also the focus on customer retention. A total of 34,000 net newcustomers were added in the quarter, taking the base to 17.8 million, 5.8%higher than at the same time last year (excluding the Tesco Mobile customerbase, which reported 1.4 million customers at the beginning of the year).

However, those customers that left had, on average, a lower monthlyspend. Quarterly monthly pre-pay ARPU of 18.2 euros was 4.0% higher in localcurrency than the second quarter last year and 8.4% higher than the firstquarter, reflecting the retention of higher value customers. As a result, O2 UK's blended monthly ARPU of 34.5 euros was 4.9% higher thanthe first quarter in local currency, and 2.8% higher than the second quarter oflast year, reflecting the increased weight of contract customers in the base,and the continued growth in data ARPU offsetting declines in voice ARPU. Quarterly monthly minutes of use were up 11.7% year-on-year at 189 minutes amonth, driven by propositions such as "Long Weekends" and "Favourite Place". Data ARPU of 11.0 euros was 8.6% higher in local currency than the same periodlast year driven primarily by growth in text message volumes, up 18.7%, as wellas increasing usage of a range of non-SMS services, and 1.0% higher than theprevious quarter.

Mobile service revenue for the 3 months to 30 June 2007 was 727 million euros,down 3.8% compared to the same period last year, an improvement in the trendseen in the first quarter (which saw a decline of 4.6%), reflecting thecontinued ARPU weakness in the German market and the impact of the 20%termination rate cut in November 2006, partly offset by growth of the customerbase. The termination rate cut reduced second quarter service revenue by over4%. Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) for the 3 monthsto 30 June 2007 was 98 million euros, a decrease of 49.8% compared to the sameperiod in 2006. OIBDA in the second quarter included an exceptional charge of96.5 million euros in respect of a structural reorganisation, which willstrengthen customer facing units while the number of employees in central andsupporting functions will be reduced by around 700. In total O2 Germany mobilewill reduce its headcount from around 4,700 to around 4,000 employees. At thesame time, units and departments will be merged to accelerate decision makingprocesses as well as time to market for product innovations. Thisre-organisation will better position the business for the future growthopportunities that the German market presents in both mobile and DSL. Excludingthis charge, OIBDA would have been 194 million euros, broadly flat compared tothe same period last year. For the six months period, cumulative OIBDA is 259million euros, a decline of 20.4% compared to the 5 month period to 30 June2006. On a like for like basis, the decline was 29.1%.

A total of 183,000 net new pre-pay customers were added in the quarter.Quarterly monthly ARPU of 6.7 euros was 1.3% lower than the previous quarter and24.9% lower than the second quarter last year, reflecting in addition to theabove mentioned factors, higher market penetration and the growth in multipleSIM ownership. Additional pre-pay customer acquisition campaigns featuring bothnew O2 propositions and new offers from partners, will be launched during therest of the year. Blended quarterly monthly ARPU in the second quarter was 20.9 euros, an increaseof 2.0% from the previous quarter, but 13.5% lower than the same quarter lastyear. This trend reflects the ongoing impact of the termination rate cuts, therapid growth in the pre-pay customer base over the past 12 months, which nowmakes up 50% of the total base, and the increasingly competitive marketenvironment. Termination rate cuts reduced monthly ARPU in the quarter byapproximately 3 euros.

RESULTS BY REGIONAL BUSINESS UNITS Others Companies Atento Group Revenues for the Atento Group reached 565 million euros in the January-June 2007period, equivalent to a year-on-year growth of 11.1% when compared to the sameperiod the previous year, as a result of the organic growth experienced in LatinAmerica. Revenues generated by external clients to the Telefonica Group advanced 18.6% onan annual basis versus the first semester of 2006 and represented 49.2% ofAtento's total revenues to June 2007, up 46.1% when compared to the same periodthe previous year. The main drivers of this growth were: • Brazil: increased revenue from Itau, Redecard, Losango and Banco doBrasil. • Mexico: increased activity with BBVA-Bancomer, mainly in Finanziaservices and collection services. • Venezuela: growth in revenue from the CANTV Group, the addition of newcustomers from the financial sector, such as Econoinvest, and increased revenuesfrom telemarketing management with Banco de Venezuela. • Colombia: increased activity in the multisector market with Citibank,BSCH and Whirlpool and new client acquisitions (Sony, IFX, Banca Andina andBancoldex). In terms of geographical distribution of revenue, Brazil accounted for 40.3% ofthe total and Spain 24.6%. Combined, their contribution was 4.9 p.p. lower thanthe same period the previous year. Atento Mexico continued to post stronggrowth, contributing 11.8% of the group's total revenues, compared to 9.4% inthe first semester of 2006. Venezuela accounted for 4.2%, up from 3.4% in thesame period last year, and Peru for 3.7%, up from 2.7%. Operating costs rose 10.6% year-on-year to 492 million euros. This was largelythe result of the increase in personnel costs underpinned by the growth in theGroup's activity and higher facility leasing and maintenance costs. Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) for the AtentoGroup amounted to 73 million euros in the first semester of 2007, a 13.8%year-on-year increase due to increased business activity. In terms ofprofitability, OIBDA margin stood at 12.9%, 0.1 p.p. higher than the firstsemester of 2006. Atento Brazil contributed 32 million euros or 42.9% of totalOIBDA. Of the remaining operations, the largest contributions were by Mexico(17.0% or 13 million euros), Chile (9.5% or 7 million euros), Venezuela (7.8% or6 million euros) and Peru (7.7% or 6 million euros). Operating income for the six-month period of 2007 amounted to 59 million euros,representing annual growth of 16.2%. CapEx in the first semester of 2007 amounted to 10 million euros, compared to 12million euros in the same period the previous year (-15.4% year-on-year), mainlydeployed in Brazil, Mexico and Spain. Operating cash flow (OIBDA-Capex) presented a growth of 20.8% when compared tothe first semester of 2006, reaching 63.0 million euros, as a result ofcontinued growth in operating income coupled with a lower investment effort. At an operational level, the Atento Group ended June 2007 with 51,191 positionsin place, marking a 20.6% year-on-year increase. The average number of occupiedpositions for 2007 stood at 41,083.
