América Móvil Consolidated Results
The strong economic expansion in the United States that had gained momentum in the second half of 2020 continued unabated in the first quarter of the year propelled by news of a second fiscal stimulus plan, talk of a new infrastructure program and solid progress on vaccination. U.S. economic growth forecasts for 2021 were upgraded and initially led to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar vs. most other currencies on the back of rapid increases in medium and long-term dollar interest rates. Various Latin American countries, including Mexico and Brazil, experienced new COVID waves that led to renewed confinements, constrained mobility and a slowdown in economic activity.
Our first quarter revenues totaled 248 billion pesos, nearly flat in nominal peso terms, with service revenues declining 1.1% year-on-year. At constant exchange rates, service revenues actually increased 1.2%, slightly slower than in the preceding quarter when they had risen 2.2%. As in the prior quarter, the main reason for our consolidated nominal peso revenues to decline even though they had risen in local currency terms have mostly to do with the sharp depreciation of the Brazilian real vis-à-vis the Mexican peso, -20.4%.

The expansion of service revenues was driven by that of mobile service revenues, which decelerated to 1.7% from 4.1% the prior quarter, and was supported by the continued recovery of fixed-line services. The latter´s revenue growth turned posi- tive, 0.1%, after several quarters of negative growth, on the back of continued strong performance of fixed-broadband services which became our most important revenue line in the quarter maintaining its nearly 8% annual pace. We registered an important improvement in corporate networks, with revenues expanding 2.4% in the quarter compared to a 2.9% decline in the fourth quarter, which tipped into positive territory the overall expansion of fixed-line revenues.
