TELEFÓNICA GROUP

Financial Highlights

 

·; In 2010, Telefónica Group delivered solid results, reflected in the strong top line growth (+7.1% year-on-year) and the high cash flow generation.

·; The increased commercial activity during the year drove the total number of accesses to over 287 million at the year end (+7.2% year-on-year in organic terms):

o Total gross additions increased by 13.3% year-on-year, while the churn rate remained stable.

o The focus on expanding the customer base and increasing the value of customers led to a solid advance in mobile broadband accesses (+63.9% year-on-year), which now account for 10.1% of the Group's mobile accesses, and retail fixed broadband accesses (+10.9% in organic terms).

o The positive trend in the contract segment (+15.9% year-on-year in organic terms) boosted growth in mobile accesses (+8.9% year-on-year in organic terms). 53% of net additions in 2010 were in the contract segment, which already accounts for 31% of total mobile accesses.

·; Consolidated revenue for 2010 stood at 60,737 million euros (+7.1% year-on-year), leveraging the high diversification of the Group:

o Fourth quarter revenues were up 9.9% year-on-year, driven by the growing contribution from Latin America as a result of the strong performance of operations and the higher exposure to Brazil.

o Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe reported solid revenue growth, accounting together for 68% of consolidated revenue for 2010.

o Mobile data revenue rose sharply, to close to 9,300 million euros, posting a 19.3% year-on-year increase in organic terms.

o Revenues were up 2.4% in organic terms, pushed by Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe, which contributed with 2.7 percentage points and 1.0 percentage points, respectively, to revenue growth, offsetting the lower contribution from Telefónica España (-1.6 percentage points).

·; Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) stood at 25,777 million euros in 2010, posting a 14.0% year-on-year growth. Operating efficiency levels remain a sector benchmark:

o OIBDA was affected by the positive contribution from the revaluation of the previously-held stake in Vivo at the date of acquisition of the 50% in Brasilcel owned by Portugal Telecom (3,797 million euros in the third quarter). On the other hand, the Group recognised non-recurrent restructuring expenses of 1,262 million euros in 2010 (1,060 million euros in the fourth quarter), mainly related to personnel reorganization and firm commitments relating to the Telefónica Foundation's social activities. Excluding both impacts, consolidated OIBDA margin would reach 38.3% in 2010.

o In organic terms, which exclude the non-recurrent items mentioned above, OIBDA was up 0.8% year-on-year in 2010. The OIBDA margin remained virtually stable compared to 2009, despite the higher commercial activity registered during the year.

·; Net income amounted to 10,167 million euros, up 30.8% on 2009, positively affected by the net impact of non-recurrent items totalling 2,164 million euros (revaluation of the stake in Vivo, restructuring expenses and reassessment of the tax assets in Colombia).

·; Telefónica Group's operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) amounted to 14,933 million euros in 2010 (-2.7% year-on-year in reported terms):

o In organic terms which exclude spectrum acquisitions, operating cash flow dropped 1.7%, despite growth in Telefónica Latinoamérica (+6.9% year-on-year organic) and Telefónica Europe (+16.6% year-on-year in comparable terms).

·; Telefónica has met its guidance for eight years in a row. Under the criteria applied for 2010 guidance:

o Revenues were up 3.8%, in the high end of the range announced (1.0% - 4.0%).

o OIBDA increased by 1.4%, within the forecast range of 1.0% - 3.0%.

o CapEx, excluding spectrum, totalled 7,646 million euros, in line with the target of 7,450-7,650 million euros.

o EPS stood at 2.25 euros, above the target of 2.10 euros.

·; The Group maintains its financial strenght, with a ratio of net debt + commitments to OIBDA of 2.5 times at year end.

·; The Company announces its guidance for 2011, which reflect a strategy focused on capturing the growth in its markets while maintaining a high level of profitability. Telefónica forecasts:

o Revenue growth up to 2%

o An OIBDA margin in the upper 30s, with a limited erosion year-on-year

o CapEx of approximately 9 billion euros

2010 Bases for Telefónica's 2011 financial targets:

o Consolidated revenues: 63,144 million euros

o OIBDA margin 38.0%

o Consolidated CapEx: 8,541 million euros

·; The solid cash flow generation perspectives for 2011 allow the Company to propose the distribution of a dividend of 1.6 euros per share. This represents a 14.3% increase compared to the 2010 dividend. The proposal confirms Telefónica's commitment to prioritize shareholder remuneration in the use of cash and to gradually increase dividends per share. The Company reiterates its target of distributing a minimum dividend of 1.75 per share in 2012.
