MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The company complied, for the eighth year running, with the financial targets and commitments made with the market, and obtained higher than expected earnings per share, of 2.25 €
At its General Shareholders’ Meeting, Telefónica (NYSE:TEF) (LSE:TDE) will propose a 14.3% dividend increase for 2011, to €1.60/share, in line with the policy of increasing shareholder remuneration.
The Group has set targets for 2011 with the aim of capturing growth in a profitable manner, and expects revenue growth up to 2%, an OIBDA margin in the upper 30s, with a limited erosion year-on-year, and CapEx of approximately 9 Billion euros
- Solid growth: Consolidated revenues grew 7.1% in 2010 to 60,737 million euros (+9.9% in 4Q), driven by a solid performance in this item in Latin America (+13.3%) and Europe (+12.7%) and the growing contribution of the mobile data business (close to 9,300 million euros, +19.3% year-on-year organic growth).
- High degree of diversification: Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe represent 68% of the Group’s consolidated revenue and generate over 60% of consolidated OIBDA.
- Boosting commercial strategy: Telefónica has 287.6 million accesses worldwide, and posted growth in this item of 7.2% year-on-year organic. In 2010, the Company registered organic net adds of 19.2 million accesses. In Spain, despite the fierce competitive environment, net adds in the last year were six times the gains registered in 2009 in comparable terms.
- Strategy focused on value-added customers: In 2010, 53% of organic growth in net adds of mobile clients were in the contract segment, which represents 31% of the Group’s over 220 million accesses. Telefónica already has 22.2 million mobile broadband clients (+63.9%), and 17.1 million retail fixed broadband internet accesses (+27%). In addition, as a result of the Group’s bundling strategy, 89% of the retail fixed broadband accesses in Spain, and 86% of broadband accesses in Latin America form part of a duo or trio package.
- A leader in operating efficiency: At the close of 2010, OIBDA stood at 25,777 million euros, with year-on-year growth of 14% and an OIBDA margin of 42.4%. Operating cash flow stood at 14,933 million euros for the year
- Telefónica invested over 10,800 million euros in 2010, including the spectrum and license acquisitions carried out in Germany and Mexico. In Spain, despite the difficult economic climate, the company increased its investment by 8.4% to 2,021 million euros, consolidating its solid leadership position in the market and its commitment to the country.
Telefónica obtained solid results in 2010, complying, for the eighth consecutive year, with the financial targets and commitments made with the market. Telefónica’s year-end net profit increased 30.8%, hitting a new all-time record at 10,167 million euros, which puts earnings per share at 2.25 euros, outpacing the target of 2.10 euros set by the company.
Similarly, in line with its performance over the last eight years, Telefónica complied with the rest of the targets set and commitments made to the financial community. Therefore, in accordance with the criteria applied for setting these targets, revenues grew 3.8%, in the upper part of the announced range (+1%-+4%), OIBDA increased 1.4% (within the +1%-+3% range established) and CapEx - excluding spectrum - totalled 7,646 million euros.
Upon presenting these results at the close of 2010, Telefónica also announced its proposal to the Shareholders Meeting of a dividend of €1.60/share for 2011, which represents growth of +14.3% with respect to the 2010 dividend. Underpinned by the solid cash generation forecasts for 2011, this proposal confirms Telefónica’s commitment to making shareholder remuneration a priority use of cash and to gradually increase dividends per share, with the aim of paying out a minimum dividend of €1.75/share in 2012.
Before providing a breakdown of the income statement, we would underscore the Telefónica Group’s operations’ high degree of diversification, both in terms of geography and business, which - as is evident in our analysis of 2010 figures - played a key role in its earnings performance last year.
The strong growth posted by Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe drove Telefónica’s solid performance, offsetting the lower contribution of the business in Spain. It is noteworthy the growing contribution of the Latin America business to the Group’s results, supported by the positive performance in operations and the greater exposure to Brazil, following the acquisition of Portugal Telecom’s stake in Vivo last September. It should be noticed that Vivo is fully consolidated in the Group since October 2010 (prior to that date, the results of Vivo were proportionally consolidated), affecting therefore to year-on-year comparisons in reported terms as from the fourth quarter of the year.
More value-added customers to fuel further growth
The Company’s focus on growing its customer base and increasing the value of customers led to a solid advance in the number of accesses, especially in the broadband businesses (both wireline and mobile). In addition, it is noteworthy the higher proportion of the contract segment in the mobile business, thanks to active migration policies and to the rapid adoption of smartphones. Bundled offers in the wireline business showed also steady growth, reflecting the commercial priorities set for the year.
The intense commercial activity recorded throughout the year by the Group’s businesses across markets pushed total accesses up by 7.2% year-on-year in organic terms (+8.7% in reported terms), to 287.6 million. By region, of particular note are the expansion of the customer base at Telefónica Latinoamérica (+9.0% year-on-year) and Telefónica Europe (+6.2% year-on-year organic; +14.3% reported).
The increased commercial drive resulted in a year-on-year growth in gross additions of 13.3%. At the same time, customer loyalty programmes and the commitment to improving quality kept the churn rate stable year-on-year at 2.3% in 2010. As a result, the Company registered 19.2 million organic net additions during the year (1.5 times the net additions recorded in 2009), adding 5.7 million new accesses in the fourth quarter (+36.0% compared to the third quarter; +13.1% year-on-year).
Mobile accesses at the Telefónica Group stood at 220.2 million at the end of 2010, a year-on-year growth of 8.9% (both in organic and reported terms). Organic net additions reached 18.2 million in 2010 (1.3 times those recorded in 2009). The focus on high-value customers has been reflected in a significant increase in contract net additions compared to 2009: 53% of organic net additions corresponded to this segment, compared to 38% in 2009. This has left a total of 69.0 million contract customers (+15.9% year-on-year in organic terms), which represents over 31% of the Group’s total mobile accesses (+3 percentage points year-on-year organic).
The strong adoption of mobile broadband services, together with the launch of new and more segmented price schemes has allowed the Group to increase its number of mobile broadband accesses to more than 22.2 million by the end of 2010 (+63.9% year-on-year). This represents a penetration over the total mobile access base of 10.1%, 3.4 percentage points higher than at December 2009.
Retail fixed broadband accesses reached a total of 17.1 million (+27.0% year-on-year in reported terms, +10.9% organic). Net additions picked up in the fourth quarter to reach 422 thousand accesses. In 2010, net additions stood at 3.6 million accesses (1.5 million in organic terms). Brazil was once again the driver of the Group’s growth in this type of access, with Telesp registering 681 thousand net additions, a record-high figure in the Company’s history.
Bundled voice, broadband, and television services remain key to Group strategy and especially to churn control. In Spain, 89% of retail fixed broadband accesses are bundled as part of either a dual or triple play offer, while in Latin America the figure stands at 86%.
The number of pay-TV accesses stood at 2.8 million in 2010, an 8.9% increase in organic terms on December 2009 (+12.0% reported). Fixed telephony accesses totalled 41.4 million, down 2.7% year-on-year in organic terms, although the rate of decrease was slower in the fourth quarter than in previous periods. In reported terms, the number of accesses rose 1.8%.
Solid growth in revenues, driven by diversification
The increased customer base and the growing contribution from the mobile data business drove growth in revenues, which totalled 60,737 million euros in 2010, up 7.1% year-on-year (+9.9% in the fourth quarter). Foreign exchange rates added 2.2 percentage points despite the sharp devaluation in the Venezuelan bolivar, while changes in the consolidated perimeter accounted for 2.5 percentage points of the growth for the year.
The Group’s high-class diversification is a key factor behind the strong revenue trends. In 2010, Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe accounted for 68% of consolidated revenues, whereas Telefónica España’s contribution stood below 31%. This diversification is also behind the positive performance of revenues in organic terms, which grew 2.4% year-on-year in 2010. This figure is roughly in line with the growth rate recorded in the first nine months of the year. It is worth to mention that cuts in mobile termination rates dragged 1.0 percentage point to organic revenue growth. By region, it is noteworthy the sustained momentum in the year-on-year revenue growth at Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe. These regions account for 2.7 percentage points and 1 percentage points of the organic growth in consolidated revenues respectively, and offset the lower contribution from Telefónica España (-1.6 percentage points).
Consolidated operating expenses amounted to 40,375 million euros in 2010, a 13.8% year-on-year growth in reported terms. These expenses were negatively affected by non-recurrent restructuring expenses recorded in the second half of 2010 (1,262 million euros). These costs were mainly related to personnel reorganization (658 million euros) and firm commitments relating to the Telefónica Foundation’s social activities (400 million euros; of this total, 280 million euros are recorded in Telefónica S.A. and the rest is registered in Telefónica Latinoamérica).
Supply costs amounted to 17,606 million euros in 2010. Personnel expenses amounted to 8,409 million euros in 2010, up 9.3% year-on-year in organic terms. This figure was affected by personnel reorganisation costs recorded in the second half of the year. Subcontract expenses amounted to 12,228 million euros in 2010, up 7.9% on 2009 in organic terms.
The average number of employees in 2010 was 269,047 (13,896 employees more than at December 2009), mainly due to the larger workforce at Atento. Excluding Atento, Telefónica Group’s average workforce rose 2% year-on-year to 128,012.
Operating efficiency levels: a benchmark in the sector
In addition, it is important to highlight the value of the scale of the Group, reflected in the positive contribution to results from global projects launched in 2010. Indeed, the centralisation of certain Group processes had a positive effect on 2010 results, impacting revenues by 242 million euros and OIBDA by 200 million euros.
Gain on sales of fixed assets totalled 4,150 million in 2010, primarily explained by the positive impact of 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).
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) for 2010 stood at 25,777 million euros, a year-on-year growth of 14.0%, strongly affected by the gain on sales of fixed assets abovementioned recorded in the third quarter of the year, and despite the negative impact of non-recurrent restructuring expenses (1,262 million euros) also mentioned previously. Foreign exchange rates contributed with 1.2 percentage points to this growth, while changes in the consolidated perimeter represented 1.6 percentage points. The OIBDA margin stood at 42.4% for 2010 (+2.6 percentage points year-on-year). Stripping out the above mentioned impacts, the OIBDA margin would reach 38.3% in 2010.
In organic terms, which exclude the aforementioned non-recurrent restructuring expenses, OIBDA rose 0.8% year-on-year, an improved performance compared to the first nine months of 2010.
By region and excluding the positive impact of the revaluation of the previously held stake in Vivo already mentioned, Telefónica Latinoamérica increased its contribution to the Group’s OIBDA up by 5 percentage points year-on-year, to exceed 45% of the Group figure. Consequently, together with the higher contribution from Telefónica Europe, in 2010 over 60% of consolidated OIBDA was generated outside Telefónica España.
Operating income (OI) totalled 16,474 million euros in 2010, up 20.7% year-on-year in reported terms. In organic terms and excluding the non-recurrent expenses mentioned above, OI rose 4.5% year-on-year.
Profits from associates amounted to 76 million euros in 2010, up 59.8% year-on-year. This increase is mainly due to the improved results contributed by the associate Telco, S.p.A.
Net Financial Results (expenses) up to December 2010 amounted to 2,649 million euros (-19.9% year-on-year).
Financial strength
At the end of 2010, Net financial debt increased by 12,042 million euros with respect to the net financial debt at the end of 2009 (43,551 million euros), leaving the final figure in December 2010 at 55,593 million euros. The leverage ratio, net debt over OIBDA (including accumulated 100% of Vivo’s OIBDA to December 2010, excluding results on the sale of fixed assets and adjusted by firm commitments relating to the Telefónica Foundation’s social activities), stands at 2.4 times at December 2010.
During 2010, the financing activity of Telefonica Group, excluding short term Commercial Paper Programmes activity, rose to 15,800 million equivalent euros, with the main objective of partly financing in advance 2011 debt at Telefónica, S.A. level and finance the acquisition of 50% of Brasilcel. At the end of December, bonds and debentures represented 63%, on the consolidated financial debt breakdown, while debt with financial institutions reached a 37% weight.
Corporate income taxes for 2010 stood at 3,829 million euros, impacted by the reassessment of the tax assets in Colombia, amounting to 864 million euros and recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. It is worth to mention that in the third quarter of 2010, this caption also included 321 million euros of fiscal effects relating to the revaluation of the Company’s previously-held stake in Vivo at the date of acquisition of the 50% in Brasilcel owned by Portugal Telecom. On the positive side, income tax expense for 2010 has decreased in the amount of 138 million euros due to tax credits generated in México and Terra Brazil, which are based on the expected taxable income to be generated by the companies.
Profit attributable to minority interests increased the net income figure by 95 million euros in 2010, reversing the trend observed both until September 2010 (-153 million euros) and compared to 2009 (-161 million euros).
The result of all the above was consolidated net income of 10,167 million euros for 2010, 30.8% higher year-on-year. The main drivers behind this performance were: the positive net impact from the revaluation of the previously held stake in Vivo at the date of acquisition of the 50% in Brasilcel owned by Portugal Telecom (3,476 million euros); non-recurrent restructuring expenses registered in the second half of 2010 (862 million euros, net of taxes and minority interests); the write-down of tax credits in Colombia (450 million euros, net of minority interests). As a result, basic earnings per share stood at 2.25 euros (+31.6% year-on-year).
CapEx, excluding spectrum acquisitions, reached 8,228 million euros, up 13.6% on 2009 figure (+5.9% in organic terms). The Company continues to focus its investments on growth and transformation projects (77% of total investment, excluding spectrum acquisitions), fostering the development of broadband services (both fixed and mobile). Taking into account the spectrum acquisitions in Germany in May and the acquisition of additional spectrum and licenses in Mexico, CapEx for 2010 amounted to 10,844 million euros.
As a result, operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) totalled 14,933 million euros in 2010 (-2.7% year-on-year). In organic growth terms and stripping out spectrum acquisitions, operating cash flow dropped 1.7% year-on-year.
RESULTS BY REGIONAL BUSINESS UNITS
TELEFÓNICA ESPAÑA
Against the backdrop of an adverse economic environment, austerity measures and strong price oriented competition, Telefónica España recorded a high level of commercial activity in 2010. Thus, aligned with the management priorities set for the year, the Company sustains its solid market leadership, especially in terms of revenue and profitability.
It is worth highlighting the 926 thousand net additions registered for the full year (not considering the disconnections in May following the process of identifying inactive prepay customers), that more than six fold the comparable figure recorded in 2009. It is also noteworthy the higher level of commercial activity recorded in both the wireline and wireless businesses, with an overall 10.5% year-on-year growth in gross additions in 2010, which coupled with continued churn management, drove total accesses to 47.6 million by year end. Net additions in the fourth quarter totalled 227 thousand (+4.9% year-on-year).
In the wireline business it should be noted the growth posted by retail fixed broadband Internet accesses in 2010 (+4.5% year-on-year) and the significant increase of Pay TV customers (12.1% year-on-year). On the other hand, it is remarkable the lower retail fixed line losses (-920 thousand in 2010), which decreased 18.3% year-on-year. Additionally, in the mobile business, growth in the contract segment remained solid (+6.9% year-on-year). It should be highlighted the increase in the mobile broadband customer base, which reached 4.8 million by year end, 1.7 times higher than at the end of 2009.
As for reported economic-financial results, against the backdrop of lower consumption and increased price pressure, the loss of higher-margin revenue and increased commercial efforts relative to 2009 had a direct impact on OIBDA. In addition, operating expenses in 2010, and OIBDA by extension, reflect the TV tax introduced in the year (107 million euros) as well as non-recurrent restructuring expenses, mainly related to personnel reorganization plans, booked in the fourth quarter of the year (202 million euros). Another factor worth recalling is the 220 million euros capital gain on the disposal of Medi Telecom booked in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Revenue totalled 18,711 million euros in 2010, down 5% year-on-year in reported terms, impacted primarily by the trading environment, lower revenue related to Universal Service (95 million in 2010 vs. 223 million in 2009), the exit of Telyco Marruecos from the consolidation perimeter (57 million in 2009) and revenue from the sale of applications rights (101 million in 2010 vs. 48 million in 2009). In comparable terms, revenue declined 4.4% year-on-year in 2010. This evolution is primarily explained by lower consumption across businesses and strong competition. Against this backdrop, it is worth highlighting the healthy performance of IT revenue in 2010 in the wireline business (+9% year-on-year in comparable terms). On the other hand, in the wireless business it is especially noteworthy the performance of connectivity revenue (+54.3% year-on-year), which is cementing its status as a key revenue driver.
Operating expenses amounted to 10,489 million euros in 2010, a slight increase of 0.8% year-on-year in reported terms. In comparable terms, operating expenses decreased 1.5% in 2010 (-2.1% in the quarter), thanks to the efficiency measures implemented.
As a result, operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) amounted to 8,520 million euros in 2010 (-12.7% year-on-year in reported terms), standing the OIBDA margin at 45.5%. In comparable terms, OIBDA decreased 6.9% year-on-year. The Company maintained a high operational efficiency as reflected by the comparable OIBDA margin, which stood at 46.9% for the full year.
CapEx totalled 2,021 million euros in 2010, up 8.4% year-on-year, driven by the Company’s strategic focus on the development of growing services, particularly fixed and mobile broadband. Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) amounted to 6,499 million euros in 2010, a year-on-year decline of 10.7% in comparable terms.
Commercial Activity and Revenue performance by Business Unit
Wireline Business
Total wireline accesses reached 16.0 million at year end, and remained virtually stable year-on-year in 2010 (-0.4% on 2009), posting a much better performance than in 2009 (-2.4% year-on-year). It is also worth highlighting the significant year-on-year reduction in net losses of retail wireline telephony accesses in both the quarter (-27.3%) and the full year (-18.3% year-on-year). As a result, retail wireline accesses, impacted by loops unbundling, declined 6.5% on 2009 to 13.3 million, implying an estimated market share of around 69%.
Telefónica España held on to its solid leadership position in the wireline broadband Internet access market, with more than 5.7 million accesses at year end (+4.5% year-on-year), implying an estimated market share of over 53%. Pay TV accesses recorded a positive performance in 2010, with 85 thousand net additions (15 thousand in the quarter), driving the customer base to over 788 thousand accesses (+12.1% year-on-year), and leaving an estimated market share of almost 19%. On the other hand, the total number of Dúo and Trío packages accounted for 89% of the Company's retail broadband Internet accesses by year end.
Revenue declined 6.3% year-on-year in reported terms to 11,397 million euros in 2010. In comparable terms, revenue fell 5.3% year-on-year in 2010, primarily driven by the performance in access and voice revenue in an adverse economic environment.
Wireless Business
Telefónica maintained a strong commercial activity throughout 2010. Net additions posted healthy growth in 2010 (1.4 times the 2009 figure in comparable terms) amounting to 884 thousand accesses (not considering the disconnections in May following the identification of inactive prepay customers). The Company’s focus on the contract segment drove net additions in this segment over one million accesses in the full year (roughly 1.4 times the 2009 figure), with 288 net additions in the quarter. As a result, the contract segment continued to post solid growth in 2010 (+6.9% year-on-year), accounting for over 67% of the Company’s total mobile accesses. It is worth noting the fact that this strategy, focused on the customer value, enabled Telefónica to sustain its leadership in the Spanish mobile telephony market, being the operator presenting the widest gap between revenue and access share. As a result, the Company’s mobile telephony customer base ended 2010 at 24.3 million accesses, up 3.3% on December 2009 figure.
Revenue totalled 8,550 million euros in 2010, a year-on-year decline of 4.6% in reported terms (-6.1% in the quarter).
RESULTS BY REGIONAL BUSINESS UNITS
TELEFÓNICA LATINOAMÉRICA
In 2010 Latin America registered strong economic growth, further strengthening the bases of a young social structure with a growing middle class in an increasingly stable institutional framework. At the same time, Brazil has strengthened its position not only as a regional leader but also as a major player on the global stage. Telefónica reinforced its benckmark position in this key market in 2010, after increasing its stake in Vivo in the third quarter.
In 2010 Telefónica Latinoamérica delivered a strong operating performance, while maintaining high levels of efficiency. Thanks to its differential asset portfolio in the region, the Company reported net additions of 15.2 million accesses in 2010 (4.6 million in the fourth quarter), to reach a total of 183.7 million accesses at the end of December (+9% year-on-year). This performance was underpinned by the growth of its mobile and broadband businesses and the stability of traditional wireline accesses.
Telefónica managed 149.3 million mobile accesses in the region, up 10.8% year-on-year. Particularly noteworthy was the quality of the growth, the result of an acquisition policy focused on customer value and a clear commitment to migration from prepay to contract as a value driver. Thus, contract net additions accounted for 46% of the total in 2010. As a result, the contract customer base advanced by 28.9% year-on-year, representing 20% of the total customer base at year end.
In the wireline business, in 2010 the Company continued to focus on improving quality indicators and customer satisfaction levels while maintaining its focus on bundles, reporting positive operating results. The focus on bundling and broadband is reflected in the fact that 66% of wireline accesses had signed up for some form of bundled offer as of the end of December 2010. Furthermore, 86% of broadband accesses are also under a double or triple play offers.
Broadband accesses rose again with net additions at record levels thanks to Telesp, the acceleration of growth in Colombia and the consolidation of growth in Argentina and Peru. As a result, broadband accesses stood at 7.4 million at the end of December, up 15.8% year-on-year. In pay TV the customer base stood at 1.8 million at the end of December 2010 (+8.7% year-on-year). In the traditional business the Company continued to gear its efforts towards maintaining a stable customer base. Thus, fixed accesses totalled 24.4 million at the end of 2010, virtually unchanged from a year earlier.
As for Telefónica Latinoamérica’s financial results, it should be noted that year-on-year comparisons from the fourth quarter of 2010 reflect the full consolidation of Vivo since October 2010 (previously this company's results were proportionately consolidated) following the acquisition of 50% of Brasilcel from Portugal Telecom on 27 September 2010. In addition, 2010 OIBDA is affected by the positive contribution from the revaluation of our previously held stake in Vivo at the date of the acquisition of the 50% in Brasilcel owned by Portugal Telecom (3,797 million euros booked in the third quarter). On the other hand, the OIBDA is affected by non-recurrent restructuring expenses booked in the fourth quarter of 2010 (410 million euros), mainly related to personnel reorganization (159 million euros) and firm commitments linked to Telefónica Foundation’s social activities (120 million euros). It is also important to note that the year-on-year comparison in euros with 2009 is sharply distorted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar at the beginning of 2010.
Revenue in 2010 totalled 26,041 million euros, with solid year-on-year growth in organic terms of 6.7%, in line with the first nine months. In terms of contributions by country, Brazil remained the biggest contributor in the region in 2010, generating 42.7% of revenue. The next largest contributors were Argentina (11.8% of revenue), Venezuela (8.9%), Chile (8.4%), Peru (7.5%) and Mexico (7%).
Operating expenses reached 16,965 million euros in 2010, up 7.6% year-on-year in organic terms that exclude non-recurrent restructuring expenses already mentioned.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) reached 13,782 million euros in 2010 (+50.7% year-on-year in reported terms). In organic terms that exclude the impact from non-recurrent restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter, OIBDA was up 9.1% year-on-year.
CapEx in 2010 totalled 5,535 million euros (+12.7% year-on-year in organic terms), mainly related to mobile broadband expansion, as well as the enhancement of fixed broadband service. Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) amounted to 8,247 million euros (+6.9% year-on-year in organic terms that exclude the impact from non-recurrent restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter).
BRAZIL
Telefónica managed 76 million accesses in Brazil at the end of 2010 (+13.4% year-on-year increase), after posting net additions of 9.0 million accesses (+44.6% year-on-year growth). As a result, the Company consolidated its position as market leader in accesses, underlining Vivo's leadership in the mobile market while posting a marked improvement in the operating results of Telesp.
In the mobile business, Vivo ended 2010 with 60.3 million accesses, up 16.5% year-on-year, maintaining its market leadership after posting net additions of 8.5 million accesses. In the wireline business, Telesp consolidated its competitive and operating improvement in 2010, with quality levels that are a benchmark in the market. As a result, net additions in 2010 totalled 446 thousand accesses, underscoring the trends seen in previous quarters.
It should be noted that financial results from the fourth quarter of 2010 reflect the full consolidation of Vivo since October 2010 (previously this company's results were proportionately consolidated) after the acquisition of 50% of Brasilcel from Portugal Telecom on 27 September 2010. Telefónica's revenues in Brazil totalled 11,119 million euros in 2010, a year-on-year increase of 12.1% in local currency and of 3.6% in organic terms, with organic growth rate accelerating to 5.6% in the fourth quarter, thanks to the strong performance of the mobile business. Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) in 2010 amounted to 4,074 million euros (+9.6% year-on-year in reported terms). The OIBDA margin stood at 36.6% in 2010 in reported terms.
In 2010 CapEx totalled 1,797 million euros (+12.5% year-on-year organic), leaving an Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) of 2,277 million euros.
VIVO: Vivo continues to lead the market in terms of accesses, revenue and profitability. According to data from Anatel, Vivo’s market share at year end 2010 stood at 29.7%, leading the way in higher value segments where it attained a market share in the contract segment of 35.2%.
The Company managed 60.3 million accesses at the end of 2010, up 16.5% year-on-year, after adding 8.5 million accesses in the year and 2.6 million in the fourth quarter. Contract net additions in 2010 represented 33% of the total and were 2.3 times higher than in 2009. As a result, the contract segment now accounts for 21% of total accesses, up 2 percentage points year-on-year.
