ROSH HA’AYIN, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Partner Communications Company Ltd. (“Partner” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ and TASE: PTNR), a leading Israeli communications provider, announced today its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Commenting on the second quarter 2018 results, Mr. Isaac Benbenisti, CEO of Partner noted:
"This is the twelfth consecutive quarter in which we report growth in our cellular Post-Paid subscriber base. In the second quarter we continued to grow in Post-Paid subscribers with a net add of 9 thousand subscribers, totaling 25 thousand net adds of Post-Paid subscribers since the beginning of the year. In the second quarter of 2018, we expanded the VoLTE (Voice over LTE) implementation in Partner's core cellular network and we continue to lead the market with added value offerings, unique services, wide network deployment and excellent customer service for the group's customers.
A year ago, we started the commercial phase of two strategic activities – TV services and internet based on independent optic fiber infrastructure. Within only one year, Partner TV caused a disruption in the multi-channel TV market and today over 100,000 households are already connected to the service. Partner TV is the fastest growing TV service in Israel thanks to, among other reasons, the innovative viewing experience that it provides to viewers. In July, we launched the wholesale market service based on HOT's infrastructure, with bundle and triple offerings, and with this the company was the first to offer internet services over all the main platforms including optic fiber, LTE and the infrastructures of Bezeq and HOT. The launch of the wholesale market service based on HOT's infrastructure eases the transition from cable service to Partner's advanced TV service.
At the same time, Partner continues to deploy fiber optic infrastructure independently throughout Israel at a faster deployment rate compared to other companies, as part of the deployment of Partner Fiber, which we announced a year ago. We have already reached more than 170,000 households in dozens of cities, with fiber infrastructure enabling speeds of up to 1,000 mbps and with attractive offers which also incorporate Partner TV.
In addition, as part of the company's strategy, we continue to examine new potential growth engines, among others, in the fintech and finance industries, including through a company acquisition or independent, organic activity.”
Mr. Tamir Amar, Partner's Chief Financial Officer, commented on the second quarter 2018 results:
“The second quarter of 2018 was characterized by increased competition in the cellular market with the entry of a sixth operator to the market, as reflected in the increase in the level of subscriber porting between operators and overall price pressures in the cellular market - although these trends have slowed since the peak in May. Partner experienced an increase in the quarterly cellular churn rate which increased to 10%. Nevertheless, even under current competitive market conditions, Partner reported an increase in the Post-Paid cellular subscriber base of 9 thousand in the second quarter. In addition, our cellular ARPU, excluding a one-time provision, totaled NIS 59, an increase of NIS 1 compared with the first quarter of the year.
In the fixed-line segment, Partner continued to report growth with recruitment of TV subscribers, and this growth engine, together with growth in internet services (including the impact of revenues from optic fiber subscribers) resulted in a quarterly net growth in revenues of NIS 8 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. This is the fourth consecutive quarter in which we report revenue growth from fixed line services, and compared to the second quarter of 2017, fixed line services revenues increased by 9%.
Free Cash Flow for the quarter totaled NIS 55 million, following investments in our fiber optic infrastructure and TV service - investments which we believe will constitute growth engines for the Company in the coming years. The rapid growth rate in Partner TV households is already reflected in revenue growth. In addition, the accelerated fiber deployment, reflected by a growth of over 25 thousand households from the end of the second quarter, with a reach of 145 thousand households, and until today, with a reach of over 170 thousand households, supports our TV offering and improves the economic returns compared with the wholesale market service which is implemented today, in addition to the technological advantages of this infrastructure compared to the alternatives.
On the debt side, we ended the quarter with a net debt of less than NIS 0.9 billion, and the effect of the decline in our debt during the past year, as well as the decrease in our average interest rate, is reflected in a decrease in our finance expenses. Our strong balance sheet structure continues to offer us the ability to examine additional growth opportunities and opportunities that differentiate us from our competitors.
In addition, last week we completed the first tranche under our share buyback plan with the repurchase of approximately 3.6 million of the Company's shares, in an amount of NIS 50 million (including commissions), at an average price of NIS 13.75 per share which reflects a yield of approximately 2.2% to our shareholders.”

Financial Review
In Q2 2018, total revenues were NIS 797 million (US$ 218 million), a decrease of 1% from NIS 805 million in Q2 2017.
Service revenues in Q2 2018 totaled NIS 620 million (US$ 170 million), a decrease of 4% from NIS 646 million in Q2 2017.
Service revenues for the cellular segment in Q2 2018 totaled NIS 454 million (US$ 124 million), a decrease of 9% from NIS 497 million in Q2 2017. The decrease was mainly the result of the continued price erosion of cellular services (both Post-Paid and Pre-Paid) due to the continued competitive market conditions, and a one-time provision in an amount of NIS 15 million in respect to a class action. Excluding the one-time provision, service revenues would have decreased by 6%.
Service revenues for the fixed-line segment in Q2 2018 totaled NIS 210 million (US$ 58 million), an increase of 9% from NIS 192 million in Q2 2017. The increase reflected the revenues from TV services (which started in Q3 2017) and internet services, which were partially offset principally by the decline in revenues from international calling services.
Equipment revenues in Q2 2018 totaled NIS 177 million (US$ 48 million), an increase of 11% from NIS 159 million in Q2 2017, largely reflecting higher volumes of equipment sales as well as a change in the product mix.
Gross profit from equipment sales in Q2 2018 was NIS 37 million (US$ 10 million), compared with NIS 33 million in Q2 2017, an increase of 12%, mainly reflecting the higher sales volumes and higher profit margins from sales due to a change in the product mix.
Total operating expenses (‘OPEX’) totaled NIS 492 million (US$ 135 million) in Q2 2018, an increase of 4% or NIS 20 million from Q2 2017. The increase mainly reflected the additional expenses relating to the Company's TV service and the growth in internet services. In addition, Q2 2018 OPEX included a one-time cancellation of a provision for a class action in an amount of NIS 8 million. Including depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share based compensation), OPEX in Q2 2018 increased by 3% compared with Q2 2017.
Operating profit for Q2 2018 was NIS 22 million (US$ 6 million), a decrease of 81% compared with NIS 118 million in Q2 2017. See Adjusted EBITDA analysis for each segment below.
Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2018 totaled NIS 172 million (US$ 47 million), a decrease of 36% from NIS 269 million in Q2 2017. As a percentage of total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2018 was 22% compared with 33% in Q2 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment was NIS 126 million (US$ 35 million) in Q2 2018, a decrease of 40% from NIS 210 million in Q2 2017, mainly reflecting the decrease in cellular service revenues and the fact that since Q3 2017 the Company does not record any income with respect to the settlement agreement with Orange. As a percentage of total cellular segment revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment in Q2 2018 was 21% compared with 33% in Q2 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment was NIS 46 million (US$ 13 million) in Q2 2018, a decrease of 22% from NIS 59 million in Q2 2017, mainly reflecting the increase in OPEX, partially offset by the increase in service revenues. As a percentage of total fixed-line segment revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment in Q2 2018 was 20%, compared with 29% in Q2 2017.
Finance costs, net in Q2 2018 were NIS 13 million (US$ 4 million), a decrease of 76% compared with NIS 54 million in Q2 2017. The decrease largely reflected one-time early repayment expenses recorded in Q2 2017 as well as lower interest expenses in view of the lower debt level and lower average debt interest rate.
Income tax expenses for Q2 2018 were NIS 7 million (US$ 2 million), compared with NIS 18 million in Q2 2017.
Profit in Q2 2018 was NIS 2 million (US$ 1 million), compared with NIS 46 million in Q2 2017, a decrease of NIS 44 million.
Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during Q2 2018, basic earnings per share or ADS, was NIS 0.01 (US$ 0.003), compared to basic earnings per share of NIS 0.29 in Q2 2017.
Cellular Segment Operational Review
At the end of Q2 2018, the Company's cellular subscriber base (including mobile data and 012 Mobile subscribers) was approximately 2.65 million, including approximately 2.35 million Post-Paid subscribers or 89% of the base, and approximately 300 thousand Pre-Paid subscribers, or 11% of the subscriber base.
During the second quarter of 2018, the cellular subscriber base decreased by approximately 22 thousand subscribers. The Post-Paid subscriber base increased by approximately 9 thousand subscribers, while the Pre-Paid subscriber base decreased by approximately 31 thousand subscribers.
The quarterly churn rate for cellular subscribers in Q2 2018 was 10.0%, compared with 9.0% in Q2 2017.
The cellular market share (based on the number of subscribers) at the end of Q2 2018 was estimated to be approximately 25%, compared to 26% in Q2 2017.
The monthly Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) for cellular subscribers in Q2 2018 was NIS 57 (US$ 16), a decrease of 8% from NIS 62 in Q2 2017. The decrease mainly reflected the continued price erosion in key cellular services due to the competition in the cellular market and a one time provision for a class action in an amount of NIS 15 million. Excluding the effect of the provision recorded in Q2 2018, ARPU would have been NIS 59.
Funding and Investing Review
In Q2 2018, Adjusted Free Cash Flow totaled NIS 55 million (US$ 15 million), a decrease of 74% from NIS 208 million in Q2 2017.
Cash generated from operations decreased by 44% to NIS 159 million (US$ 44 million) in Q2 2018 from NIS 284 million in Q2 2017. The decrease mainly reflected the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and the smaller decrease in operating assets and liabilities, and in particular in trade receivables.
Cash capital expenditures (‘CAPEX payments’), as represented by cash flows used for the acquisition of property and equipment and intangible assets, were NIS 104 million (US$ 28 million) in Q2 2018, an increase of 37% from NIS 76 million in Q2 2017. The increase mainly reflected the increase in investments related to the fiber optic infrastructure deployment and TV services.
The level of Net Debt at the end of Q2 2018 amounted to NIS 893 million (US$ 245 million), compared with NIS 1,081 million at the end of Q2 2017, a decrease of NIS 188 million.
Other Developments
Further to the Company's announcement on August 6, 2018 of the completion of the first tranche of the Company's Buy-back Plan ("the Plan"), the Company's Board of Directors approved on August 14, 2018, the repurchase of a second tranche, in accordance with the Plan, of up to an aggregate amount of NIS 50 million of the Company's ordinary shares.
IFRS 16
IFRS 16, Leases (“the Standard”), was issued in January 2016 and will supersede IAS 17 Leases. The Standard is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after January 1, 2019, and early application is permitted. The Company will adopt the standard from its mandatory adoption date of January 1, 2019 (transition date).
The Standard removes the distinction between operating and finance leases for lessees. Under the new Standard, with certain exceptions, the assets (the right to use the leased item) and the financial liabilities to pay rentals will be recognized in our Statement of Financial Position, and are expected to be material. The accounting for lessors will not change significantly. In our Statement of Income, finance costs on the financial liabilities and depreciation expenses related to the rights-of-use assets will be recognized in place of rental expenses. In our Statement of Cash Flows, rental payments will be recognized as repayment of the financial liabilities and will be presented as cash used in financing activities in place of cash provided by operating activities. The implementation of the new Standard is expected to have a material positive impact on our operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA. Our profit is not expected to be materially affected.
The Company is in the process of implementing the required adjustments into the Company's information systems. The Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of the implementation of the Standard.
The Company plans to apply the Standard using the modified retrospective approach and will not restate comparative amounts for the years prior to the transition date. Any transitional adjustments will be recognized in retained earnings with the cumulative effect as of the transition date.
