  • In the prepaid segment we added one million subscribers. Mexico contributed with 402 thousand net adds, Colombia 307 thousand and the Central America and Eastern Europe block with almost 135 thousand each.
  • On the fixed-line platform we obtained 156 thousand broadband accesses, including 95 thousand in Argentina and 31 thousand in Central America, bringing the total to 31.1 million accesses, 2.1% more than a year before.
  • Third quarter revenue of 214.5 billion pesos was up 1.8% year-on-year in nominal peso terms, with service revenue increasing 3.0% in nominal peso term and 5.9% year-on-year at constant exchange rates.
  • Mobile service revenue rose more than 9% year-on-year at constant exchange rates both in the prepaid and the postpaid segments. It was the fastest rate of growth observed in at least five quarters.
  • Fixed-lineservice revenue remained flat with broadband revenue up 3.4% at constant exchange rates and that of corporate networks 12.6%- the fastest pace in five quarters.

    34.2% below that of the prior year mostly on account of foreign exchange losses incurred then.
  • Our capital expenditures, 105.3 billion pesos in the nine months to September, were fully funded by our operating cash flow. Our surplus operating cash flow, together with 71.7 billion pesos in net financing raised in the period allowed us to cover 45.7 billion pesos in shareholder distributions, 20.0 billion pesos in labor obligations; and 13.3 billion pesos in the net acquisition of ownership interests, coming from the acquisition of a portion of Oi's mobile clients and the sale of our interest in Claro Panama.

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.
