AMÉRICA MÓVIL’S FIRST QUARTER OF 2005
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REPORT

Mexico City, April 25, 2005 - América Móvil, S.A. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX] [NASDAQ: AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL], announced today its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2005.

  • Subscriber growth continued strong into 2005, with América Móvil adding 5.2 million subscribers in the first quarter, compared to 2.9 million in the same period of 2004. At the end of March América Móvil had 66.3 million wireless subscribers and 1.9 million fixed lines, for a total of 68.3 million lines. América Móvil’s equity subscribers rose to 65.9 million.
     
  • In Mexico we gained 1.8 million subscribers, nearly 60% more than a year ago, to finish with an established subscriber base of 30.6 million, whereas in Colombia our operation exhibited the fastest rate of subscriber growth in the quarter (20.8%) among our subsidiaries, and its quarterly net subscriber additions (1.2 million) exceeded those seen in the last quarter of 2004.
     
  • First quarter consolidated revenues reached 38.8 billion pesos. They were up 33.2% year-on-year, driven by relatively good economic conditions in the countries where we operate and by continued subscriber growth.
     
  • EBITDA totaled 12.6 billion pesos, an amount equivalent to 32.5% of revenues. On an annual basis EBITDA increased 23.1%. Operating profits came in at 7.9 billion pesos in the quarter, and were 44.1% higher than the ones obtained a year earlier.
     
  • A net profit of 4.5 billion pesos was obtained in the first quarter, representing 37 pesos cents per share and 65 dollar cents per ADR.
     
  • América Móvil’s net debt remained flat in constant Mexican peso terms, at 43 billion pesos. Relative to EBITDA (last twelve months), it has come down to 0.96 times. Share buybacks and dividends in the amount of 1.4 billion pesos were paid in the quarter.

    Relevant Events

    On February 17th, América Móvil placed bonds in the amount of US$1 billion in the U.S. capital markets. The bonds have a 30 year tenor and carry a 6 3/8% coupon.

    On March 31st, América Móvil was awarded by the Peruvian government a license to provide wireless services in the 1900 MHz band. América Móvil had bid US$21.1 million in the auction conducted by the government for 30 MHz of spectrum in the 1900 MHz band.

    Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 11th, the Mexican government completed the auction of spectrum in the 1900 Mhz band in the nine regions in which the country is divided. Telcel obtained 10 Mhz in each of the regions. A payment of 55 million pesos has been made, to be followed by annual payments of approximately 25 million dollars per year over the next 20 years. Telcel bid for an additional 10 Mhz in the three more important regions. Whether it will be able to acquire this additional spectrum (for which no payments have been made) depends on rulings to be made by Mexican federal courts regarding the validity of limitations imposed by the Mexican Antitrust Commission (Cofeco) on the overall spectrum that operators could acquire. These restrictions were announced after the terms of the auction had been published by the Mexican telecom regulator (Cofetel).

    Subscribers

    In the first three months of 2005, América Móvil obtained an additional 5.2 million wireless subscribers, finishing the quarter with 66.3 million subscribers. Year-over-year, our wireless subscriber base expanded by 41.6%, and on a quarterly basis by almost 9.0% . Coupled with nearly 2.0 million fixed lines in Central America, América Móvil has a total of 68.3 million lines.

    Telcel, our Mexican subsidiary, gained 1.8 million subscribers in the quarter—almost 60% more than a year before—which brough its subscriber base to 30.6 million. Colombia registered the second largest expansion in absolute terms among our subsidiaries—and the most important one in relative terms—as our operations there added over 1.2 million subscribers in the quarter, bringing our total wireless subscribers in that country to 7.0 million. Colombia was our only operation in which first quarter net subscriber additions exceeded those of the fourth quarter.

    Whereas the growth momentum continues to be strong in Brazil and Argentina, the number of net additions was not as important as in the fourth quarter, as seasonal factors appear to be particularly noteworthy in these countries. In Brazil net subscriber additions amounted to 635 thousand and in Argentina to 503 thousand. By the end of March, we had 14.3 million subscribers in Brazil and 4.1 million in Argentina.

    Ecuador’s subscriber base increased by 13.3% in the quarter and almost 60.0% on an annual basis, to finish the quarter with 2.6 million subscribers, 310 thousand more than at the end of 2004. Our operator in the United States, Tracfone, continued with the steady subscriber expansion in the 45% to 50% range seen for over two years now, bringing its total number of subscribers to 4.9 million in March.

    In Central America, our wireless operations added 308 thousand new clients in the quarter, to reach a combined total of 2.8 million subscribers. Total fixed lines in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua stood at 1.9 million.

    América Móvil’s Consolidated Results

    Driven by strong subscriber growth and continued economic expansion throughout the region where it operates, América Móvil’s first quarter revenues rose by 33.2% relative to the previous year to reach 38.8 billion pesos.

    EBITDA came in at 12.6 billion pesos, which represented a 32.5% EBITDA margin, and helped bring about an operating profit of 7.9 billion pesos for the period. This profit exceeds that seen in the same period of 2004 by 44.1% on account of EBITDA having increased by 23.1% and depreciation and amortization charges having decreased by 1.3% over the comparable period.

    A comprehensive financing cost of 426 million pesos was obtained in the quarter. Greater interest expenses resulting from higher interest rates; less exposure to dollars and floating interest rates (more to pesos and fixed rates); and a marked change in the debt maturity profile of the company—it has been significantly lengthened—ended up resulting in this net financing cost.

    Altogether, América Móvil generated a net profit of 4.5 billion pesos in the quarter, somewhat higher than the one registered a year earlier.

    The company’s net debt remained essentially flat at 43 billion pesos, as its cash flow was directed mostly towards the payment of capital expenditures and of accounts payable resulting from the seasonally strong purchases of inventories effected in the last quarter or 2004. Together, share buy-backs and dividend payments added up to 1.4 billion pesos.

    Mexico

    Supported by the country’s economic growth, our Mexican operations added 1.8 million subscribers in the first quarter of the year, almost as many as were obtained in the last quarter of 2004.

    Telcel’s first quarter revenues, nearly 20 billion pesos, were up 22.6% relative to the same period of 2004, with service revenues rising 20% and equipment revenues 39%. It is of interest to note that service revenues were up 5.3% quarter-over-quarter. MOUs remained flat, although ARPUs declined slightly in the quarter, due essentially to seasonal factors. Year-over-year, Telcel’s MOUs were up 7.5% .

    EBITDA amounted to 8.4 billion pesos, 20.5% more than a year before. Relative to total revenues, EBITDA represented 42.1%, a rate similar to the one seen then. Subscriber acquisition costs have not come down much as subscriber growth continues to exhibit a strong momentum.

    Telcel obtained an operating profit of 7.0 billlion pesos in the quarter, equivalent to 35.2% of revenues. It has risen over the last year at the same pace as revenues.

    Argentina

    In the first quarter, our Argentinean subsidiary, operating under the CTI Móvil brand, gained 503 thousand net subscribers, bringing its subscriber base to 4.1 million.

    Its revenues in the quarter, 573 million Argentine pesos, rose 10% sequentially and were 2.5 times higher than those of the first quarter of 2004. Quarter-over-quarter, service revenues were up 16.5%, reflecting the strength of past and current subscriber growth.

    The number of net additions for the quarter was roughly 2.5 times the one registered in the first quarter of 2004. In spite of the impact that this subscriber growth had on subscriber acquisition costs, EBITDA still increased by 77%, to reach 70 million pesos; it was equivalent to 12.2% of revenues.

    CTI registered an operating profit of 48 million pesos, which was more than twice as large the one seen the year before.

    Brazil

    Operating under the brand name Claro, our operations in Brazil added 635 thousand subscribers in the first quarter of the year, to reach a total of 14.3 million. The net additions were lower than the ones obtained in the last quarter of 2004, which were particularly strong due (mostly) to seasonal factors, particularly marked in Brazil.

    Revenues for the quarter reached 1.4 billion reais, nearly 30% more than a year before, with equipment revenues declining sequentially reflecting the seasonal slowdown in subscriber growth.

    Altogether, EBITDA amounted to 91 million reais and overturned the loss registered the previous quarter on

    account of the heady pace of subscriber growth experienced then. With the level of both gross and net subscriber additions declining in the first quarter relative to the previous one, subscriber acquisition costs were correspondingly reduced, helping drive an increase in EBITDA margins to 6.5% of total revenues.

    Central America

    Our operations in Central America, which provide wireless and wireline services in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, as well as wireless services in Honduras, added 308 thousand subscribers in the first quarter of the year, which brought their combined wireless subscriber base to 2.8 million.

    Revenues stood at 314 million dollars and surpassed those registered in the same period of 2004 by 35.6% . This increase reflects the consolidation of the Honduran and Nicaraguan operations as of July and August of 2004, respectively.

    EBITDA for the period came in at 159 million dollars, up almost 27.8% on an annual basis. It resulted in an EBITDA margin of 50.8% . An operating profit of 101 million dollars was recorded in the quarter, 36.1% greater than the one seen the previous year.

    Colombia

    With subscriber growth accelerating in 2005 from what was already a relatively rapid pace, our Colombian operations added 1.2 million subscribers in the first quarter to finish March with slightly more than 7 million subscribers.

    Revenues followed through with a 10.5% quarter-over-quarter increase, which translates into a 48.3% annual rate. Sequentially, service revenues rose 14.3%, leading to a total of 644 billion Colombian pesos in first quarter revenues. In spite of the fast pace of subscriber growth, MOUs have actually risen almost 40% year-on-year.
