Organic growth: In financial terms, it assumes constant average exchange rates as of January-June 2011, and excludes hyperinflation accounting in Venezuela. Therefore, in OIBDA and OI terms, the first half-year of 2011 excludes the positive impact of the partial sale of our stake in Portugal Telecom (+183 million euros). Telefónica’s CapEx excludes spectrum investment and, in 2011, Real Estate commitments in relation to the new Telefónica headquarters in Barcelona. Underlying growth: Reported figures, excluding exceptional impacts and spectrum acquisition. First half of 2012 also excludes the reduction in the value of Telecom Italia investment and operating synergies achieved (-512 million euros; -358 million euros net of taxes), and also PPAs (-492 million euros; -363 million euros net of tax and minority interests) and difference in market value of BBVA stake (-30 million euros; -21 million euros net of tax and minority interests). Figures for the first half of 2011 exclude value adjustments in relation to the stake in Telecom Italia (-505 million euros; -353 million euros net of tax), the positive impact arising from a partial reduction of Telefónica’s economic exposure to Portugal Telecom (+183 million euros) and also PPAs (-564 million euros; -381 million euros net of taxes and minority interests).
