Note
On November 23rd, 2021 and on July 1st, 2022 we completed the sale of TracFone Wireless and Claro Panama, respectively. The financial statements presented in this report account for TracFone and Panama as discontinued operations and include the net profit generated by those subsidiaries up to the date of the divestment and the net gain generated by its sale, under "net income from discontinued operations".
The reported figures for Argentina corresponding to the third quarter of 2022 are presented in accordance with a) IAS29 reflecting the effects of the adoption of inflationary accounting that became mandatory after the Argentinean economy was deemed to be hyperinflationary in the third quarter of 2018 and b) IAS21 translated to Mexican pesos using the end-of-period exchange rate.
All comparisons at constant exchange rates for America Movil's consolidated figures will exclude Argentina to ensure consistency.
