REPORT ON REVIEW OF
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders of
Telefónica, S.A., at the request of Management
1. We have carried out a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter the interim financial statements) of Telefónica, S.A. (hereinafter the Parent Company) and subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group), which comprise the interim statement of financial position at June 30, 2010, the interim income statement, the interim statement of comprehensive income, the interim statement of changes in equity, the interim statement of cash flows, and selected explanatory notes, all of which are consolidated, for the six-month period then ended. It is the Parent Company’s directors’ responsibility to prepare said interim financial statements in accordance with the requirements established by International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting,” as adopted by the European Union for the preparation of condensed interim financial reporting as per article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
2. Our review was performed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Reporting Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of the interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying certain analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we have become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the accompanying interim financial statements.
3. As explained in the Note 2 of the accompanying interim financial statements, these statements do not include all the information that would be required for complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and therefore the accompanying interim financial statements should be read together with the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

4. During the course of our review, which under no circumstances can be considered an audit of financial statements, nothing has come to our attention which would lead us to conclude that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements established by International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the European Union in conformity with article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007 for the preparation condensed interim financial statements.
5. The accompanying consolidated interim management report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 contains such explanations as the Parent Company’s directors consider necessary regarding the events which occurred during said period and their effect on the interim financial statements, of which it is not an integral part, as well as on the information required in conformity with article 15 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. We have checked that the accounting information included in the abovementioned report agrees with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. Our work is limited to verifying the management report in accordance with the scope mentioned in this paragraph, and does not include the review of information other than that obtained from the consolidated companies’ accounting records.
6. This report has been prepared at the request of Management of the Parent Company with regard to the publication of the semi-annual financial report required by article 35 of Securities Market Law 24/1988, of July 28, by Royal Decree 1362/2007, of October 19.

The parent company of the Group is Telefónica, S.A. (“Telefónica” or “the Company”), a public limited company incorporated for an indefinite period on April 19, 1924. Its registered office is at calle Gran Vía 28, Madrid (Spain).
Corporate structure of the Group
Telefónica’s basic corporate purpose, pursuant to Article 4 of its by-laws, is the provision of all manner of public or private telecommunications services, including ancillary or complementary telecommunications services or related services. All the business activities that constitute this stated corporate purpose may be performed either in Spain or abroad and wholly or partially by the Company, either through shareholdings or equity interests in other companies or legal entities with an identical or a similar corporate purpose.
The Telefónica Group follows a regional, integrated management model based on three business areas by geographical market and integrated wireline and wireless businesses:
   
Telefónica Spain
 
   
Telefónica Latin America
 
   
Telefónica Europe
The business activities carried out by most of the Telefónica Group companies are regulated by broad-ranging legislation, pursuant to which permits, concessions or licenses must be obtained in certain circumstances to provide the various services.
In addition, certain wireline and wireless telephony services are provided under regulated rate and price systems.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “interim financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and Article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. Therefore, they do not contain all the information and disclosures required in complete annual consolidated financial statements and, for adequate interpretation, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The accompanying interim financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors at its meeting on July 28, 2010.
Unless indicated otherwise, the figures in these interim financial statements are expressed in millions of euros and rounded.

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION
Comparative information in the accompanying interim financial statements refers to the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, except for the consolidated statement of financial position, which compares information at June 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009.
The main events affecting comparability of the consolidated information for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are described below.
The principal changes in the consolidation perimeter that occured in the first half of 2010 are described in Note 6 and Appendix I.
With respect to seasonality, the historical performance of consolidated results does not indicate that Group’s operations, taken as a whole, are subject to significant variations between the first and second halves of the year.
Devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar
Regarding the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on January 8, 2010, the two main factors to consider with respect to the Telefónica Group’s 2010 financial statements are:
   
The decrease in the Telefónica Group’s net assets in Venezuela as a result of the new exchange rate, with a balancing entry in translation differences under equity of the Group, generated an effect of approximately 1,810 million euros at the date of devaluation.
   
The translation of results and cash flows from Venezuela at the new devalued closing exchange rate.
Classification of Venezuela as a hyperinflationary economy in 2009
Once the Group concluded that Venezuela should be classified as a hyperinflationary economy, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were adjusted to include the impact of hyperinflation and therefore differ from the statements originally issued for that period. The most significant adjustments are decreases in “Revenues from operations”, “OIBDA” and “Profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent” of 23 million euros, 58 million euros and 167 million euros, respectively, and an increase in “Equity” of 747 million euros.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, except for the adoption of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and adopted by the European Union, effective as of January 1, 2010, and noted below:
   
IFRS 3, Business Combinations (Revised)
 
     
The revised version of IFRS 3 includes significant changes in the recognition of business combinations, mainly with respect to directly attributable acquisition costs, the recognition and measurement of contingent consideration related to the combination, the measurement of non-controlling interests and the accounting treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisitions). The changes introduced by the revised IFRS 3 affect acquisitions and transactions carried out on or after January 1, 2010, as well as the subsequent recognition of tax assets acquired in business combinations prior to that date, as provided for in the transitional provisions.
 
   
Amendment to IAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements
 
     
Pursuant to the amendments to IAS 27 arising from the revision of IFRS 3 Business combinations, changes in a subsidiary equity interests that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, in accordance with the amendments to IAS 27, loss of control triggers remeasurement of the residual holding to fair value at the date when control is lost. These amendments affect redundant transactions with non-controlling interests taking place on or after January 1, 2010.
 
   
Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009)
 
     
These improvements establish a series of amendments to current IFRSs with the aim of removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. These amendments did not have any impact on the results or financial position of the Group.
 
   
Amendment to IFRS 2, Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions
 
     
This amendment limits the scope of IFRS 2 and incorporates guidance previously included in IFRIC 8. As a result, IFRIC has been withdrawn. It also clarifies the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions between Group companies in the separate financial statements of the entity receiving the goods or services when another entity in the group or shareholder must pay for them (thereby incorporating the guidance previously included in IFRIC 11, which has also been withdrawn). The adoption of this amendment has not had any impact on the financial position or results of the Group.
 
   
Amendments to IAS 39, Eligible hedged items
 
     
The amendments were made to clarify two hedge accounting issues: the identification of inflation as a hedged item in a hedging relationship, and the designation of options purchased that hedge financial or non-financial items as hedging instruments. The adoption of these amendments has not had any impact on the financial position or results of the Group.

(TELEFONICA LOGO)
   
IFRIC 17, Distributions of non-cash assets to owners
 
     
This interpretation establishes the accounting treatment for non-cash assets, clarifying when to recognize the dividend payable, the measurement criteria for the non-cash assets and the accounting treatment for differences in the carrying amounts of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the payment obligation that could rise upon settlement of the non-cash asset. The adoption of this amendment has not had any impact on the financial position or results of the Group.
New Standards amendments and IFRIC interpretations issued but not effective as of June 30, 2010
At the date of preparation of the interim financial statements, the following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations had been published, but their application was not mandatory:
         
        Mandatory application: annual
Standards and amendments   periods beginning on or after
 
IFRS 9
  Financial instruments   January 1, 2013
 
       
IAS 24 (Revised)
  Related Party Disclosures   January 1, 2011
 
       
IAS 32 Amendment
  Financial Instruments: Presentation — Classification of Rights Issues   February 1, 2010
 
       
Improvements to IFRSs (May 2010)   January 1, 2011 (*)
     
(*)  
The amendments to IFRS 3 (2008) relating to the measurement of non-controlling interests and share-based payments, as well as the amendments to IAS 27 (2008) and IFRS 3 (2008) regarding consideration arising in business combinations acquired after the effective date of the revised standards, shall enter into effect for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010.
         
        Mandatory application: annual
Interpretations   periods beginning on or after
 
       
IFRIC 19
  Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments   July 1, 2010
 
       
IFRIC 14 Amendment
  Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement   January 1, 2011
The Group is currently assessing the impact of the application of these standards, amendments and interpretations. Based on the analyses made to date, the Group estimates that their adoption will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements in the initial period of application. However, the changes introduced by IFRS 9 will affect financial assets and transactions with financial assets carried out on or after January 1, 2013.

On January 11, 2010, Telco, S.p.A. (“Telco”) arranged a 1,300 million euro loan with Intesa Sanpaolo, S.p.A., Mediobanca, S.p.A., Société Générale, S.p.A. and Unicredito, S.p.A., maturing on May 31, 2012, part of which is secured with Telecom Italia, S.p.A. shares. The lending banks have granted Telco shareholders a call option on the Telecom Italia, S.p.A. shares that they may be entitled to receive as a result of the potential execution of the pledge.
In line with the commitments assumed by Telco shareholders, on December 22, 2009, the rest of Telco’s financing needs with respect to debt maturities were met with a bridge loan granted by shareholders Telefónica, Intesa Sanpaolo, S.p.A. and Mediobanca, S.p.A., for approximately 902 million euros, and a bank bridge loan granted by Intesa Sanpaolo, S.p.A. and Mediobanca, S.p.A., for the remaining 398 million euros.
The financing from the bridge loans was substituted with a bond subscribed by Telco’s shareholder groups, on a pro-rate basis in accordance with their interests in the company, on February 19, 2010 for 1,300 million euros, of which 600 million euros corresponded to Telefónica.

INCOME TAX
There were no significant changes in the tax charges in the accompanying comparative income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. However, the deviation in both periods with respect to the income tax expense that would result from applying the statutory tax rates prevailing in each country where the Telefónica Group operates is due to the existence of tax incentives and non-deductible expenses in accordance with the rulings of the various tax authorities.

OTHER INFORMATION
With regard to ongoing litigation and commitments at June 30, 2010, and the litigation reported in Note 21.a) to the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, the main developments in the first six months of 2010 are as follows:
   
Appeal for judicial review of the Spanish Competition Court (TDC) ruling
Regarding the TDC ruling levying a 57 million euros fine on Telefónica de España, S.A.U. for alleged unfair trade practices consisting of the abuse of a dominant market position, on April 20, 2010 the Supreme Court issued a ruling upholding the decision of the National Appellate Court overturning the TDC ruling, depriving of effect the 57 million euros fine imposed on Telefónica de España, S.A.U.
   
Cancellation of the UMTS license granted to Quam GMBH in Germany
The appeal lodged by Quam GmbH against the Cologne Administrative Court’s decision rejecting its claim seeking the suspension of the revocation order and reimbursement for the total or partial payment of the original amount paid for the license was rejected by the Supreme Administrative Court of North Rhine-Westphalia. Quam GmbH filed a new claim in third instance, which was admitted for processing, and currently awaiting a court decision.
The contingencies arising from the litigation and commitments described above were evaluated when the interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were prepared as described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the provisions recorded in respect of the commitments taken as a whole are not material.

On June 30, 2010 the Telefónica Chile group embarked on a corporate restructuring. The restructuring was executed through the acquisition by Inversiones Telefónica Móviles Holding Limitada of all the fixed-line assets in Chile through its acquisition of Telefónica Internacional Chile, Ltda. (the holding company of the assets). To fund the acquisition, the acquiring company applied for a 869 million euros loan from Telfin Ireland Limited (Irish company of the Group that carries out intragroup financing transactions).
   
Other companies
In April 2010, Chilean company Telefónica Factoring Chile, S.A., which is 50% owned by the Telefónica Group, was incorporated. This company is included in the consolidation perimeter through equity method accounting.
In June 2010, the Telefónica Group reduced its ownership interest in Portugal Telecom by 7.98% resulting in cash inflow of 631 million euros from the sale of the ownership interests. In addition, Telefónica has entered into three equity swap contracts for Portugal Telecom shares with a number of financial institutions, subject to net settlement, which grant Telefónica the equivalent total return of the investment. The investment is no longer reflected in the consolidation perimeter through the equity method of accounting.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT
TELEFÓNICA GROUP
Consolidated Results
The structure of the Telefónica Group by business unit Telefónica España, Telefónica Latin América and Telefónica Europe, in line with the current integrated, regional management model, means that the legal structure of the companies is not relevant for the presentation of Group financial information.
Therefore, the operating results of each of these business units are presented independently, regardless of their legal structure. For the purpose of presenting information on a regional basis, revenue and expense resulting from intra-group invoicing for use of the brand and management contracts have been excluded from the operating results for each Group region. At the same time, the impacts derived from projects managed at a centralized level are included at a regional level. In any case, these effects do not have an impact on consolidated results.
In line with this reorganization, Telefónica has included in Telefónica España, Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefonica Europe all the information related to the fixed, mobile, cable, Internet and pay TV businesses, in accordance with its geographic allocation. The “Other companies” heading includes the Atento business and other holding companies and eliminations in the consolidation process.
Also, in the context of the organization and integrated management of the fixed and wireless businesses in Spain, and with the objective of facilitating understanding and monitoring of the financial performance of the Company’s operations in this market and avoiding distortions which, without affecting the consolidated results of Telefónica España, may result in an erroneous interpretation of the individual performance of each of the businesses — especially at the level of operating expenses and investment, from the first quarter of 2010 the Company has decided to publish the selected consolidated financial data corresponding to Telefónica España, providing breakdown by business only at a revenue level. The Company will continue to report all the operating metrics previously reported.
With regard to financial results, it is worth mentioning that during 2009 and the beginning of 2010 several factors have surfaced with respect to the Venezuelan economy that according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) led to consider as hyperinflationary from January 1st, 2009. As a result, the financial results of Telefónica Group published related to the fiscal year 2009 were restated taking into consideration the above mentioned effects.
During the first half of 2010, Telefónica made progress with the priorities it had set for the full year. Thus, total accesses reached 277.8 million by the end of June 2010, with year-on-year growth at 5.2%. By region, of particular note are the expansion of the customer base at Telefónica Latinoamérica (+9.5% year-on-year) and Telefónica Europe (+14.6%). As a result, the Company has added more than 13.2 million new customers since the beginning of the year.
This performance reflects not only the increased commercial efforts of the different Group companies, which increased the total number of gross adds by 16.2% year-on-year in the first six months of 2010, but also the continued improvement in total churn, which has dropped to 2.2% up to June 2010 (-0.1 percentage points versus the first half of 2009). The lower churn across all services was driven by quality improvements and successful customer loyalty and retention programmes.

By access type:
 
Mobile accesses of the Telefónica Group rose 5.0% year-on-year to 211.0 million by the end of June 2010.
As a result of the Company focus on higher-value customers, there was a significant rise in contract net adds. This has left a total of 64.3 million contract customers (+14.3% year-on-year), which represents 31% of Group mobile accesses (vs. 28% last year).
At the same time, mobile broadband accesses continue to grow strongly, reaching 17 million (+84.6% year-on-year) as of June 30th.
By region, it is worth highlighting that 2010 first-half net adds increased year-on-year across all regions.
Net adds in Latin America exceeded 7.2 million accesses, almost tripling the first-half figure in 2009.
 
Retail fixed broadband accesses totalled 16.4 million, with a year-on-year growth of 25.2%. There were 2.9 million net adds in the first half, 4.9 times higher than during the same period in 2009. Especially noteworthy were the first-half net adds at Telefónica Latinoamérica, which rose 71.5% year-on-year to almost half a million accesses thanks to the consolidation of the improving trend in Brazil and Colombia and continued growth in Peru, Argentina, and Chile. Meanwhile, Telefónica Spain net adds for the first six months of 2010 reached 143 thousand, 1.7 times the figure for the same period last year.
Bundles of voice, broadband, and TV services remain key to Group strategy and churn control. In Spain, nearly 90% of retail fixed broadband accesses are bundled as part of either a dual or triple service package, while in Latin America 57% of broadband accesses are bundled as part of a dual or triple package.
 
Pay TV accesses stood at 2.7 million at the end of June 2010, up 10.4% year-on-year.
 
Fixed telephony accesses exceeded 41.7 million, and remained virtually flat year-on year (-0.5%).
Increased commercial activity over the last few months boosted accesses and usage growth, enabling the consolidation of the acceleration in Group revenue growth in the first half of the year. Revenues rose to 29,053 million euros in the first six months of 2010, (+5.4% year-on-year). This performance reflects the positive contribution from foreign exchange rates and the consolidation of HanseNet and Jajah from the first quarter of 2010. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, revenues would have increased 3.2% year-on-year.
It is important to highlight the fact that Telefónica Latinoamérica and Telefónica Europe account for 67% of Group revenue, and that Telefónica España now only accounts for 32%.
By service, broadband connectivity revenues (both fixed and mobile) and revenues from applications and new services continue to increase their contribution to the Group figure.
Telefónica Group’s operating expenses amounted to 18,763 million euros over the first six months of the year, 10.0% more than in the same period in 2009. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, operating expenses would have increased 7.0% year-on-year. By component:
   
Supplies in the first half of 2010 rose 3.9% year-on-year to 8,334 million euros. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, supplies would have increased 1.7% year-on-year. This performance is mainly explained by the higher interconnection costs at Telefónica Latinoamérica and by the handset costs in all three regions on the back of the high commercial activity. These partially offset the drop in interconnection expenses at Telefónica Europe and the flat figure at Telefónica España.

Personnel expenses amounted to 3,793 million euros for the first half, a growth of 16.4% year-on-year. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, personnel expenses would have increased 13.0% year-on-year. The average number of employees for the first six months of the year was 261,649 (+6 thousand versus June 2009), mainly due to the larger workforce at the Atento Group. Excluding Atento, Telefónica Group’s average workforce rose 0.7% year-on-year to 125,792.
It is worth noting that in the first half of 2009 the Company revised its estimates made in previous years relating to workforce restructuring programmes in various countries, being recognised as lower costs (97 million euros). In the first half of 2010 there were recorded restructuring charges, mainly at Telefónica Europe (23 million euros).
   
External service expenses amounted to 5,611 million euros over the first six months of the year, a 17.5% year-on-year growth. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, external service expenses would have increased 13.0% year-on-year. This increase is largely due to the higher commercial costs in the three regions and increased network and systems management expenses at Telefónica Latinoamérica and, to a lesser extent, at Telefónica Europe.
Elsewhere, within Telefónica Group’s strategy framework of launching global initiatives, it is worth highlighting that in the first half of 2010 the Group recorded a positive contribution from the centralization of processes within the Group, reaching 90 million euros at the revenue level and 85 million euros in terms of OIBDA.
Gains on sale of fixed assets amounted to 99 million euros in the first half of 2010, and were mainly the result of the disposal of Manx Telecom at the end of June, which generated a capital gain of 61 million euros.
As a result, operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 10,905 million euros in the first six months of the year (+0.04% year-on-year). Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, OIBDA would have decreased 1.3% year-on-year.
OIBDA margin reached 37.5% over the six-month period (-2.0 percentage points year-on-year).
By region, the highlights are the OIBDA growth at Telefónica Latinoamérica, which rose 6.1% versus the first half of 2009 and more than offsets the lower contribution from Telefónica España (-9.5%), which has been hit by the adverse economic conditions and the increased commercial activity. As a result, 60% of Group OIBDA was generated outside Spain in the first half of 2010.
Depreciation and amortization in the first half of 2010 reached 4,449 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%.
This left operating income (OI) for the first six months at 6,456 million euros (-0.6% year-on-year). Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, OI would have increased 1.1% year-on-year.
First-half share of profit from associates rose to 72 million euros, compared to 30 million euros over the same period last year. This improvement is largely due to the better results from the Company’s stake in Telco S.p.A., and the inclusion of China Unicom’s results (in the first half of 2009 the latter was not consolidated under the equity method).

Net Financial Expenses at the end of June 2010 amounted to 1,254 million euros (-13.7% year-on-year). Year-on year performance is explained mainly by:
   
Changes in the foreign exchange gains and losses through June 2010 yielded a lower expense of 37 million euros in comparison with June 2009.
   
A 24 million euros decrease in expenses due to interest rate drops captured throughout last year mainly in European currencies.
   
Changes of the actual value of commitments derived mainly from the pre-retirement plans and other positions equally accounted at market value have generated a lower expense of 68 million euros in comparison with the same period of the previous year.
   
Changes in Venezuela’s hyperinflation effect yielded a lower expense of 137 million euros.
   
An increase of 6.0% in the average debt has generated expenses of 67 million euros.
Interest related financial expenses during first half of 2010 amounted to 1,172 million euros, a cost of 4.9% over total average financial debt of 47,840 million euros. Total average financial expenses over total average financial debt totalled 5.3%.
Free cash flow generated by the Telefónica Group through the end of June 2010 amounted to 2,467 million euros, of which 2,938 million euros were assigned to Telefónica, S.A. dividend payment, 730 million euros were devoted to the acquisition of Telefónica treasury shares and 427 million euros to commitment cancellations derived mainly from the pre-retirements plans. In addition, there was a net payment of 1,025 million euros due to financial investments and divestments. As a result, net financial debt increased by 2,653 million euros. On the other hand, net debt increased by an additional 2,208 million euros because of the foreign exchange impact, changes in the consolidation perimeter and other effects on financial accounts. All this has led to an increase of 4,861 million euros with respect to the net financial debt at the end of 2009 (43,551 million euros), leaving the final figure at June 2010 at 48,412 million euros.
The leverage ratio, net debt over OIBDA, is maintained at 2.2x at June 2010.
During the first half of 2010, the financing activity of the Telefónica Group, excluding short term Commercial Paper Programmes activity, rose to over 5,400 million equivalent euros considering euro dollar forex rate at the end of June, with the main objective of financing in advance 2011 debt at the holding level. To highlight the 5 year Euro-denominated bond issue for an amount of 1,400 million raised in March 2010 and the US dollar-denominated bond issue for an amount of 3,500 million dollars raised in April 2010, distributed in three tranches: a 3 year tranche of 1,200 million dollars, a 5 year tranche of 900 million dollars and a 10 year tranche of 1,400 million dollars. It is also worth mentioning the loan facility for telecom equipment purchases for an amount of nearly 500 million dollars with the guaranty of the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) signed in February.
During the first half of the year, we have proceed to pay back banking debt (syndicate facility) maturing in 2011 for an amount of 2,200 million euros.
Telefónica, S.A. and its holding companies have continued active during the first half of the year under its various Commercial Paper Programmes (Domestic and European), for an outstanding balance of approximately 1,400 million euros at June.

Regarding Latin America, Telefónica subsidiaries have tapped the capital markets up to June for an amount of nearly 800 million equivalent euros, mainly for refinancing 2010 maturities.
At the end of June 30, 2010, bonds and debentures represented 67% on the consolidated financial debt breakdown, while debt with financial institutions reached a 33% weight.
In the first half of 2010 corporate income tax reached 1,428 million euros, implying a 27.1% accrued tax rate.
Losses attributable to non-controlling interests reduced net profit in the first half of 2010 by 71 million euros (-64 million euros in the first half of 2009), mainly due to non-controlling interests in the profits of Telesp, Telefónica O2 Czech Republic and in the losses of Telefónica Telecom. The year-on-year growth of 10.8% is explained by the increased profits attributable to non-controlling interests at Telesp and Brasilcel.
As a result, consolidated net income in the first half of 2010 reached 3,775 million euros, an increase of 9.4% versus the same period last year. Basic earnings per share stood at 0.83 euros, 10.1% higher than in the first six months of 2009.
In the first-half of 2010, CapEx in growth and transformation projects remaining a priority, particularly those aimed at meeting demand for fixed and mobile broadband services.
It should be highlighted that in the second quarter of 2010 Telefónica 02 Germany acquired additional spectrum for 1,379 million euros (2 blocks of 800MHz, 1 of 2.0GHz, and 4 of 2.6GHz), which left first-half CapEx (including the investment relating to this spectrum acquisition) at 4,295 million euros.
As a result, operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) for the first six months of the year reached 6,610 million euros. The growth at Telefónica Latinoamérica (to 3,239 million euros) did not offset the decline at Telefónica España, whose operating cash flow dropped to 3,547 million euros and Telefónica Europe to -100 million euros, affected by the spectrum acquisition in Germany.

Risks and uncertainties
The main risks and uncertainties facing the Group in the second half of this year, which could affect its businesses, financial position and results, are as follows:
Country risk (investments in Latin America). The Group’s investments and operations in Latin America (including the revenues generated by these operations, their market value, and the dividends and management fees expected to be received from them) are subject to various risks linked to the economic, political and social conditions of these countries. In addition, the Telefónica Group’s operations are dependent, in many cases, on concessions and other agreements with existing governments in the countries in which it operates. These concessions and agreements, including their renewal, could be directly affected by economic and political instability, altering the terms and conditions under which it operates.
Management of foreign currency and interest rate risk. The Telefónica Group’s business is exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of its business, including the impact of changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, as well as the impact of changes of credit risk in its treasury operations or in some structured financed transactions it enters.
Current global economic situation. The Telefónica Group’s business is impacted by general economic conditions and other similar factors (e,g, access to credit, unemployment rates, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors) in each of the countries in which it operates. The global economic and financial situation, uncertainty regarding potential economic recovery and any other factor could undermine customer demand. A loss of customers or a decline in sales could have an adverse effect on the Telefónica Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flow and may ultimately affect its ability to meet its growth targets.
Dependence on external sources of financing. The performance, expansion and improvement of networks, as well as the development and distribution of the Telefónica Group’s services and products require a substantial amount of financing. In addition, the Telefónica Group’s liquidity and capital resource requirements may increase if the Company participates in other fixed line or wireless license award processes or makes acquisitions. If its ability to generate cash flow were to decrease for any reason, the Telefónica Group may need to incur additional debt or raise other forms of capital to support its liquidity and recourses requirements for the sustained development and expansion of its business. Meanwhile, worsening conditions in international financial markets may make it more difficult and expensive for the Telefónica Group to refinance its debt or take on additional debt if necessary.
Risks associated with relationships with joint venturers. Telefónica’s mobile business in Brazil is conducted through a 50/50 joint venture company, Brasilcel, N.V., which is jointly controlled by Telefónica and Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. Since it has less than a controlling interest in this joint venture, the Company does not have absolute control over the venture’s operations. There is also an inherent risk for management or operational disruptions whenever a disagreement between the Company and its partners arises, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s results. As indicated on Note 14, on July 28, 2010 the Telefónica Group reached an agreement for the acquisition of the 50% of Brasilcel shares owned by Portugal Telecom. If the acquisition is completed, the risk identified should not be considered to have any impact.

Regulatory risk. Regulatory policies of certain countries where the Group has operations could lead to increased competition in prices and the provisions of services. Meanwhile, reforms to spectrum usage, including the potential distribution of frequencies or limitation on the Company’s ability to obtain higher spectrum capacity, could have an adverse impact on the Group’s wireless business in some countries.
Risks associated with unforeseen network interruptions. Unanticipated network interruptions as a result of system failures, including those due to network, hardware or software failures, which affect the quality of or cause an interruption in the Telefónica Group’s services could lead to customer dissatisfaction, reduced revenues and traffic, fines or other types of measures by regulators and adversely affect the Telefónica Group’s results of operations, cash flows or its reputation.
Risk of asset impairment. The Telefónica Group reviews on an annual basis, or more frequently where the circumstances require, the value of each of its assets and subsidiaries, to asses whether the their carrying amounts can be supported by the future cash flows expected. The current economic environment and its development in the short and medium term, as well as changes in the regulatory, business or political environment may result in the need to recognise impairment charges in its goodwill, intangible assets or fixed assets.
This information should be read in conjunction with the description of general risks and uncertainties affecting the Telefónica Group’s business included in the 2009 Management Report, as well as the disclosures in Note 16 “Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management Policies” of the 2009 consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS BY REGIONAL BUSINESS UNITS
Telefónica España
Over the first half of 2010, Telefónica España has recorded a far higher level of commercial activity compared to the same period last year, focusing on growth services and contract customers, linked to the launch of the Movistar brand across the company’s product and service range (both wireline and wireless).
The slow but gradual recovery in revenue performance was underpinned by higher net adds over the first half of the year (340 thousand accesses), driven by higher gross adds and churn contention, as well as by better traffic behaviour. As a result, at the end of June 2010 the company had 47.1 million accesses, with a noteworthy growth in retail broadband Internet accesses (fixed and mobile), in the pay TV business, and also in the contract segment of the wireless business.
Retail fixed Internet broadband customers posted a year-on-year growth of 5.4% to over 5.6 million accesses, recording 143 thousand net adds in the first half of 2010, 1.7 times the figure in the first half of 2009. Meanwhile, Pay TV customers rose 22.7% on June 2009 to reach 748 thousand. Retail fixed telephony accesses at the end of June 2010 declined 7.0% year-on-year.
In the wireless business, the number of contract customers grew by 7.4% year-on-year to reach 23.9 million wireless customers, having registered 340 thousand net adds over the first six months). Mobile broadband accesses surpassed the 3.8 million mark, 2.2 times the June 2009 figure, driven by the positive evolution of monthly wireless flat-rate data plans.
As a result, revenues amounted to 9,321 million euros in the first half of 2010, a 4.5% year-on-year decline.
It is worth highlighting the performance year-to-date in revenues from IT services (+10.7% year-on-year) and data services (+8.0% year-on-year) in the wireline business, as well as from wireless connectivity revenues (+64.4% year-on-year) and handset sales (+19.8% year-on-year) in the wireless business.
Operating expenses totalled 5,091 million euros in the first six months of 2010 (+1.4%). By component:
 
External service expenses were similar to those in the first half of 2009 (-0.5% year-on-year) despite increased commercial activity.
 
Personnel expenses over the first six months increased year-on-year with the Telefónica España Group headcount standing at 35,286 at the end of June. These expenses rose 10.6% year-on-year to June 2010, negatively affected by the revision of the estimates for the adjustment to workforce provision provided for in prior periods to 2009 (90 million euros).
 
Supplies decreased in the first half (-1.5% year-on-year), as the higher mobile equipment costs were offset by lower interconnection expenses.
 
Taxes increased 6.4% year-on-year in the first half, affected by the recognition in the first quarter of 2009 of 54 million euros relating to the Universal Service Obligation, compared with the recognition in the first half of 2010 of 73 million euros related to the TV tax.
 
The initiatives undertaken by the company to improve bad debt levels paid off with a 22.4% year-on-year drop in bad debt provisions over the first six months.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) amounted to 4,377 million euros in the first half, posting a 9.5% year-on-year decline, and leaving a margin of 47.0%, affected by the loss of higher-margin revenues associated with wireline and wireless voice traffic and traditional access, and by the increased commercial activity over the period.
CapEx totalled 831 million euros in the first half, up 12.3% year-on-year, reflecting the increased investment, specially focused on the development of the mobile broadband service.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) was 3,547 million euros to June 2010, a year-on-year decline of 13.5%.
WIRELINE BUSINESS
The wireline access market remained virtually stable year-on-year over the first six months. Against this backdrop, Telefónica’s total wireline accesses (retail wireline telephony access, wholesale line rental-AMLT-, fully unbundled loops, and naked wholesale ADSL) continued to slow down its pace of year-on-year decline to 0.9% at the end of June.
Retail wireline telephony accesses, affected by ongoing loop unbundling, stood at 13.7 million at the end of June 2010 (14.7 million in June 2009), which represents an estimated market share of around 71%. As a result, net line losses in the first six months of 2010 (536 thousand) were 15.5% smaller than a year earlier. It should be also noted that this loss of retail wireline accesses is partially offset by net growth in wholesale accesses, which continue to generate revenue for the company.
The number of pre-selected lines continued to decline (by 240 thousand over the first six months) to around 817 thousand lines by the end of June.
Telefónica remains market leader in wireline broadband Internet accesses with more than 5.6 million accesses at the end of June 2010 (+5.4% year-on-year) and an estimated market share over 54%. Net adds in the first half reached 143 thousand, 1.7 times the amount recorded in the same period last year. This performance was underpinned by higher gross adds and by the reduction in churn, which reflects the company’s continued focus on a quality proposition, being worth highlighting the increase in upload speed in the 6 and 10 Mb services. At the end of June, the total estimated market topped 10.3 million accesses, with an estimated 8.6% year-on-year growth.
Driven by naked wholesale ADSL accesses, the company’s wholesale indirect broadband accesses registered first-half net adds of 105 thousand, leaving a total of 464 thousand accesses at the end of June (+25.9% year-on-year).
Total unbundled loops rose 19.5% year-on-year to 2.3 million at the end of June, of which less that 14% were shared loops, and the remainder full unbundled loops (including 530 thousand naked shared access loops). Shared access loops decreased by 123 thousand in the first six months. Full unbundled loops net adds in totalled 301 thousand in the first six months, flat year-on-year.
Pay-TV accesses, meanwhile, posted close to 45 thousand net adds in the first half (compared to a net loss in the first half of 2009), leaving the total customer base around 748 thousand (+22.7% year-on-year) and its market share at an estimated 18%.
The total number of Dúo and Trío accesses accounted for nearly 90% of the company’s retail broadband Internet accesses at the end of June 2010.

Revenues stood at 5,687 million euros in the first six months of the year, down 6.0% year-on-year. Breakdown by item:
 
Traditional access revenues to June 2010 decreased 14.1% year-on-year, with a significant impact from the booking of 75 million euros revenues associated with the recognition of Universal Service Obligation in the first quarter of 2009.
 
Voice service revenues in the first half declined 10.1% year-on-year, as a result of lower fixed-to-mobile and international traffic, and the growing weight of traffic under flat-rate plans.
 
Internet and broadband revenues were stable year-on-year compared to June 2009:
   
Retail broadband revenues narrowed 2.3% year-on-year in the first half, mainly driven by the drop in ARPU (-7.4% year-on-year to June).
   
Year-on-year growth in wholesale broadband revenues ramped up (+24.2% year-on-year over the first six months of 2010), reflecting the higher number of unbundled loops and wholesale ADSL accesses.
 
Revenue from data services posted a year-on-year growth of 8.0% in the first half, primarily driven by increased revenue from circuits leased to mobile operators, mainly Telefónica Móviles España, as a result of the rapid growth in mobile broadband.
 
Revenue from IT services posted a year-on-year growth of 10.7% for the first six months.
WIRELESS BUSINESS
At the end of June 2010, penetration in the Spanish wireless telephony market was estimated at 122%, a year-on-year increase of 3 percentage points.
Telefónica maintained its high level of commercial activity, with a 13.2% year-on-year increase in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year. This positive commercial performance is mainly the result of an increase in the number of gross adds (+27.0% in the first six months), which has been specially focused on contract customers, as reflected by the 36.7% year-on-year increase in contract gross adds in the first half of 2010.
The churn rate stood at 2.3% in the first half, slightly above last year’s levels (+0.4 percentage points to June 2009). Churn rate in the contract segment remains well below the blended ratio, at 1.4% in the first half, broadly flat year-on-year.
As a result of the effort on the commercial front and churn contention, net adds in the first half amounted to 340 thousand, an increase on the 111 thousand registered in the first half of 2009. Growth was driven by the good performance in the contract segment, where net adds reached 449 thousand in the first half (127 thousand in the first six months of 2009).
In all, the company’s mobile customer base at the end of June 2010 stood at 23.9 million accesses, (+0.7% year-on-year), affected by the disconnection of 715 thousand inactive prepay accesses in December followed by a further 113 thousand in May, due to the identification process on prepay customers, with no material impact on the company’s financial performance.
The growth in the contract customer base over the last twelve months (+7.4% year-on-year), drove the contract segment to account for over 66% of the company’s total mobile accesses, 4 percentage points more than in June 2009.
The year-on-year improvement in traffic is also worth to highlight, leaving traffic up 0.4% year-on-year in the first half of 2010.

Total ARPU stood at 25.6 euros in the first half (-7.2% year-on-year), affected by lower mobile termination rates
Voice ARPU (-9.2% year-on-year in the first half) continues to be eroded by lower mobile termination rates and changes in customer usage patterns, reaching 20.3 euros in the first half. Outgoing ARPU performed relatively better than total ARPU, narrowing in the first half of 2010 by 6.9% year-on-year.
Data ARPU was 5.3 euros in the first six months of the year (+1.3% year-on-year), thanks to a better performance from interpersonal communications revenues despite the drop in Premium SMS following the regulatory changes introduced in the fourth quarter of 2009, and the lack of “Superconcursos” compared to the second quarter of 2009.
It is worth highlighting the performance of wireless connectivity revenues, which continued to rise (+64.4% year-on-year in the first half). This growth is being driven by demand for mobile broadband services, where accesses had passed the 3.8 million mark by June 2010, 2.2 times the June 2009 figure. As a result, data ARPU accounted for 20.7% of total ARPU in the first half of 2010 (+1.7 percentage points year-on-year).
In all, revenues amounted to 4,213 million euros in the first six months of 2010, (-3.4% year-on-year in the first half). By item:
 
Service revenues totalled 3,613 million euros over the first six months, a drop of 6.4% versus the first half of 2009.
   
Customer revenues were 3.8% lower year-on-year in the first half at 3,120 million euros.
   
Interconnection revenues declined 21.7% year-on-year to 407 million euros in the first half, due to cuts in mobile termination rates.
   
Roaming-in revenues dropped 15.0% year-on-year to 59 million euros in the first six months of the year affected by the continued decrease in wholesale prices.
 
Revenue from handset sales totalled 600 million euros in the first half, which represented a 19.8% year-on-year growth.

RESULTS BY REGIONAL BUSINESS UNITS
Telefónica Latinoamérica
Telefónica Latinoamérica posted 7.5 million net adds in the first half of 2010, and managed 176.1 million accesses at the end of June 2010, up 9.5% year-on-year, driven by the maintained rebound of the mobile business, improving trends in broadband and stability of traditional accesses.
Key trends to highlight in the mobile business in the first half of 2010 include:
   
The estimated penetration rate in Latin America stood at 93% at the end of June 2010, a year-on-year increase of 8 percentage points.
   
Telefónica managed 141.9 million mobile accesses in the region, a year-on-year increase of 12.6%.
   
Net adds through June 2010 totalled 7.2 million, compared to 2.6 million in the first half of 2009, demonstrating the company’s improved commercial momentum region-wide.
   
The consolidation of commercial momentum is underpinned by a substantial improvement in customer quality. This is reflected in the fact that 50% of net adds year-to-date were contract subscribers, almost double the weight vs. the first half of 2009 (25%). Thus, contract net adds were 5.4 times higher than in the first half of 2009. The increase in the weight of the contract segment is driven by growth in gross adds and increased migrations, leading to a 23.3% year-on-year growth in the contract customer base up to June 2010.
   
At the same time, the increased quality of the customer base, combined with the success of customer retention policies, is the key driver of churn improvement. First-half churn decreased 0.2 percentage points year-on-year to 2.4%.
   
Traffic rose 29.5% year-on-year in the first half of the year to 91,371 million minutes, underpinned by a 37.7% rise in outgoing traffic in the first half of 2010 due to the initiatives aimed at encouraging usage and boosting the community effect.
   
The data business remains one of the main growth drivers, with year-on-year growth in data revenues in the first half of 2010 to reach 21.2% of first-half service revenues.
   
ARPU remains stable, despite the strong growth in the customer base, driven by the growth of outgoing ARPU.
Regarding the wireline business, quality indicators improved region-wide while the trends in customer satisfaction levels were reaffirmed. In addition, the focus on service bundling, the improvements introduced to the broadband service and the commercial reshaping of the television business drove the improvement in commercial activity at the regional level:
   
Telefónica’s wireline accesses in Latin America stood at 34.2 million at the end of June, above the year-end balance after recording 332 thousand net adds in the first half of 2010, compared to the net losses registered in each of the four quarters of 2009.
   
Bundling and the widespread of broadband services are behind the improved momentum in the wireline segment. Thus, 65% of wireline accesses had signed up for some form of bundled offer as of the end of June 2010. Furthermore, 57% of broadband accesses are under a 2P/3P offer, up 6 percentage points from June 2009.
   
In broadband, growth in net adds accelerated to 71.5% year-on-year in the first half of 2010 reaching 489 thousand accesses. Net adds are at record highs due to the reaffirmed improving trends in Brazil and Colombia and maintained trends in the Chilean, Peruvian and Argentine markets. Telefónica managed 6.9 million broadband accesses in Latin America at the end of June of 2010, a year-on-year growth of 8.9%.

In Pay TV, Telefónica Latinoamérica continues targeting its product to specific value segments in order to build a distinctive service offer in the market. As a result, the customer base climbed 3.3% year-on-year to 1.7 million, driven by net adds of 87 thousand in the first half of 2010.
   
In the traditional access business, the company managed 24.5 million traditional fixed accesses at the end of June 2010 (-3.5% year-on-year).
As for the company’s financial results, it is important to note that the year-on-year comparison in euros with the first half of 2009 is sharply distorted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar at the beginning of this year.
First-half revenue grew 10.2% year-on-year in reported terms to 12,063 million euros. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, revenues would have increased 6.1% year-on-year.
Operating expenses rose 14.7% year-on-year to 7,793 million euros in the first half of 2010. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, operating expenses would have increased 9.1% year-on-year. Breaking down by component:
   
Supplies reached 3,249 million euros in the first half, up 11.7% year-on-year. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, supplies would have increased 7.8% year-on-year. This performance reflects the higher interconnection costs due to the increase in traffic and the higher handset sales due to the growth in commercial activity.
   
External services expenses amounted to 2,930 million euros in the first half of the year, a 19.8% increase year-on-year. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, external services would have increased 10.7% year-on-year. This increase is mainly explained by the more intense commercial activity reflected in higher subsidies and commissions and to the growth in network costs and systems.
   
Personnel expenses stood at 1,038 million euros, posting a 22.6% growth driven by inflation in some countries and by the impacts associated to personnel restructuration both in the first half of 2009 and 2010. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, personnel expenses would have increased 17.9% year-on-year.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) reached 4,490 in the first half, posting a 6.1% year-on-year growth. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, OIBDA would have increased 4.0% year-on-year. The company maintained a high level of operating efficiency, with an OIBDA margin of 37.2%.
The OIBDA margin for the first half of 2010 was slightly lower year-on-year (-1.4 percentage points) explained by the growth in commercial activity, the wireline operators’ need for resources (primarily in Brazil and Colombia) and the margin erosion in Venezuela shaped by a high inflationary environment.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) stood at 3,239 million euros in the first half of 2010, a year-on-year increase of 7.3%, a remarkable growth in euro terms considering the Venezuelan devaluation.

Telefónica Latinoamérica’s strategy continues to focus on delivering customer satisfaction as a key growth lever. The company’s ability to deliver such a strong financial performance reflects its capacity to capture the full value of its assets taking a coordinated, regional approach to all its operations.
It is worth highlighting that the initiative “Open Telefónica”, focused in finding new opportunities, continued to boost results derived from third party access to the company’s services platform and know-how and from assignments of rights of use. The new projects associated with this initiative contributed 50 million euro to both revenue and OIBDA in the first half of 2010.
Meanwhile, the company is constantly exploring new types of supplier relationships and innovative improvements to critical processes, taking a medium- to long-term approach. These take the form of specific initiatives that have a positive impact on synergy generation, and by extension, on the results of Telefónica Latinoamérica (43 million euro contribution to both revenue and OIBDA in the first half of 2010).
Finally, it is worth noting the high degree of geographic diversification of Telefónica Latinoamérica’s financial performance, both in terms of composition and sources of growth. Brazil was once again the biggest contributor in the first half of 2010, accounting for 40.4% of revenue, followed by Argentina (11.9%), Venezuela (9.8%), Chile (8.5%), Peru (7.9%) and Mexico (7.7%).
BRAZIL
Telefónica, via Vivo, maintained its leading position in the wireless market nationwide while consolidated improving commercial trends of its wireline business, being leader in its area of operations.
In the first half of 2010 Telefónica’s net additions stood at 4.4 million accesses, 2.6 times higher year-on-year. Total accesses stood at 71.4 million at the end of June, up 14.3% year-on-year.
Net additions in the wireline business to June totalled 195 thousand accesses, contrasting with 160 thousand net access losses in the same period of 2009. The ongoing operating improvement is driven by service quality, the commercial repositioning undertaken and the overall improvement of company’s processes.
Vivo continues to lead the growth of the wireless market with 4.2 million net additions in the first six months, 2.3 times higher than in the same period of 2009.
In the first-half of 2010 revenue reached 4,877 million euros, up 1.5% year-on-year in local currency, improving growth trends on the back of wireless sales and stabilisation of the wireline business.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 1,681 million euros (-7.7% year-on-year in local currency). The OIBDA margin reached 34.5% in the half year (-3.5 percentage points year-on-year).
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) reached 1,165 million euros at the end of June 2010 (down 3.5% year-on-year in local currency), while CapEx totalled 516 million euros (-16.1% year-on-year in local currency).

VIVO
Wireless accesses in Brazil totalled 185.1 million at the end of June 2010, up 16.0% year-on-year, with net additions of 11.2 million in the first six months. The estimated penetration rate reached 96% in June 2010, almost 13 percentage points increase year-on-year.
According to Anatel’s figures, Vivo ´s market share reached 30.2% at the end of June 2010, up 0.9 percentage points year-on-year.
Vivo’s leadership is underpinned by its differentiated offering with a clear focus on leveraging the community effect and developing its data business. The company also maintains high levels of quality and customer satisfaction indexes that are a benchmark in the industry.
Vivo reported 56.0 million accesses at the end of June 2010, increasing its customer base by 19.6% year-on-year. Net additions in the first half totalled 4.2 million accesses, 2.3 times higher than in the same period of 2009.
It should be highlighted the performance of contract net additions, which were 3.2 times higher in the first half of 2010 than in the first half of 2009, accounting for 37% of the total. As a result, the contract customer base already accounts for 20% of total accesses, up 1 percentage points vs. June 2009, following a 25.5% year-on-year growth in the contract customer base. Also noteworthy is the fact that GSM and 3G customers now account for 89% of Vivo’s total customer base.
The company’s positive commercial performance is underpinned by both growth in gross adds and churn. Thus, in a market with a strong focus on SIM-only, Vivo’s churn is a market benchmark, standing at 2.6% in the first half, flat vs. the first half of 2009. Also, with a segmented acquisition policy according to the value of the customer, gross adds grew by 39.8% year-on-year in the first half.
Regarding traffic, Vivo’s networks managed a total of 36,984 million minutes in the first half, up 73.9% year-on-year. On-net traffic drives this trend, as it boosts by the community effect.
At the data business, Vivo continues to successfully manage the development of wireless internet as a growth driver. First-half wireless data revenue advanced by a solid 70.2% year-on-year in local currency. Data revenues now account for 17.4% of service revenues (+6.3 percentage points year-on-year). Non-P2P SMS data revenue performed especially well, accounting for 64% of data revenue (+8 percentage points vs. January-June 2009 in local currency).
ARPU fell 7.5% in local currency from the first half of 2009.
Revenues amounted 1,825 million euros in the first half, a year-on-year increase of 7.2% in local currency. This improvement was underpinned by the strength of service revenues, which rose 9.0% in the first six months in local currency after. Handset sales declined 12.9% in local currency in the first six months.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) growth in the half-year also accelerated to 7.3% year- on-year in local currency. As a result, first-half OIBDA reached 549 million euros, leaving OIBDA margin at 30.1%, unchanged from the same period in 2009, against a backdrop of fierce competition and increased commercial activity.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) in the first half of 2010 stood at 377 million euros, a substantial year-on-year increase of 36.3% in local currency. CapEx in the first half totalled 172 million euros (-26.8% year-on-year in local currency).

TELESP
In the first half of 2010 Telesp further consolidated the operating improvements initiated in the second half of 2009, with an improvement in the main quality metrics. The company repositioned its offering in the market and consolidated the improvement of customer satisfaction index. All this is being reflected in significant commercial improvements both in gross adds volumes and churn.
Telesp reached a total of 15.4 million accesses after reporting 195 thousand net adds in the first half of 2010. The customer base was 1.3% higher than at the end of 2009.
At the traditional wireline business Telesp reported both an increase in net additions and a sustained improvement in churn. First-half net adds totalled 3 thousand lines.
At the end of June 2010, Telesp managed 3.0 million broadband accesses (+9.0% year-on-year) after reporting net adds of 336 thousand accesses in the first half, almost double the figure for the first six months of 2009. Churn contention and the maintenance of strong net add levels reflect the improvement in Telesp’s position in the market.
In pay TV Telesp has strengthened its commitment to provide a quality product limiting commercial activity while it repositions the product in the market. Thus, at the end of the first half the company had 469 thousand pay TV accesses (-8.9% year-on-year).
First-half revenues totalled 3,312 million euros in the first half of 2010 (-1.0% in local currency), consolidating the stabilisation of revenue trends.
The slight fall in revenue is mainly due to the pressure on traditional telephony revenues from the decline in traffic, the performance of the public telephony business and narrowband revenue trends.
Traditional telephony revenues fell 1.7% year-on-year in local currency the first half.
Revenue from Internet, pay TV and content (-2.3% year-on-year in local currency in the first half) reflects the decline in narrowband, which has offset rising revenue from broadband and TV. These revenues accounted for 14.4% of the total in the first half. Especially noteworthy is the 6.7% year-on-year growth in local currency of Data and IT revenues, which continue to post a good performance.
Operating expenses grew 5.7% year-on-year in local currency. The main factors behind this growth are the increased weighting of new businesses, the rise in wireless traffic (SMP) and the drive to improve the customer relationship model. Bad debt provisions in the first half amounted to 2.5% of revenues, almost 1 percentage points lower than a year earlier.
As a result, operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) amounted 1,138 million euros in the first half of the year, down 13.2% year-on-year in local currency. The OIBDA margin stood at 34.4% (-4.8 percentage points year-on-year).
In the first half of 2010, CapEx stood at 344 million euros (-9.4% year-on-year in local currency), while operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) totalled 794 million euros (-14.7% year-on-year in local currency).

ARGENTINA
The Argentine telecommunications market grew in the first half of 2010. The company’s strategy is focused on boosting customer value and developing fixed and mobile broadband.
The good wireline results were underpinned by a quality offering and an increased focus on bundled services. At the wireless business the drivers for increasing customer value are the community effect, migration to contract and broadband.
As a result Telefónica has strengthened its leadership and reported 22.4 million accesses at the end of June 2010 (+6.8% year-on-year), driven by the growth in wireless accesses (+8.3% year-on-year), the rise in fixed broadband customers (+17.5% year-on-year) and stable wireline telephony accesses (+0.6% year-on-year).
First-half revenues totalled 1,442 million euros (+14.7% year-on-year in local currency), thanks to higher mobile and wireline internet and content revenues.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) rose to 513 million euros in the first half (+9.9% in local currency).
CapEx exceeded 136 million euros in the first half (+17.4% in local currency), with operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) in local currency advancing 7.5% year-on-year in local currency to 377 million euros.
T. MÓVILES ARGENTINA
The estimated penetration rate of the Argentine wireless business stood at 126% at the end of June 2010, up 12 percentage points year-on-year.
At the end of June the company had 16.4 million accesses, up 8.3% year-on-year. Net additions climbed 50.6% year-on-year through June to over 432 thousand accesses.
The performance of net additions was underpinned by churn, which declined 0.3 percentage points in the first half to 1.8% with reductions across all segments. First-half gross adds were slightly up on the first six months of 2009 (+2.4% year-on-year).
Contract accesses posted a strong growth of 7.8% year-on-year through June 2010, with net additions in the half year representing 59% of the total, underpinned by the policies to encourage migration from prepay to contract and churn reduction (-0.6 percentage points year-on-year).
Traffic growth rates remained high in the first half (+15.1% year-on-year). Traffic carried totalled 8,323 million minutes, with growth comfortably outstripping the increase in accesses thanks to the rise in on-net traffic.
At the data business, Telefónica is positioning itself in the market with an innovative offering and wireless internet remains a growth driver. Data revenue advanced 47.9% year-on-year in local currency in the first half. As a result, data revenues accounted for 34.7% of service revenues in the period (+7.1 percentage points year-on-year). This performance was based on the performance of non-P2P SMS revenue, which was up 46.3% in local currency in the six months and now accounts for 24% of data revenue, reflecting the widespread acceptance of the mobile broadband package as a complement to fixed broadband.
As a result, ARPU advanced 4.8% year-on-year in local currency, driven by increased consumption of voice services and growing data usage.

CHILE
The Chilean telecommunications market is among the most mature in the region. Nonetheless, growth rates remain, underpinned by the wireless, and broadband businesses both wireline and mobile.
Against this backdrop, Telefónica bolstered its leading position by leveraging the value of the Movistar brand, which since 2009 has encompassed all services marketed by the company in Chile. At the same time progress continues to be made on the process of joint operational management, yielding further competitive advantages for the company.
Telefónica managed a total of 11.1 million accesses at the end of June 2010, up 8.5% year-on-year. The wireless business remains healthy, reporting 12.5% year-on-year growth in accesses with the mobile broadband business being especially noteworthy. At the wireline business traditional accesses continued to fall at the same pace (-4.9% year-on-year), while broadband (+7.4% year-on-year) and pay TV (+14.7%) accesses remained strong.
First-half revenues totalled 1,022 million euros, up 1.3% year-on-year in local currency.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) rose 15.6% year-on-year in local currency to 452 million euros, leaving a first-half OIBDA margin of 44.2%, up 5.5 percentage points compared with the same period in 2009. OIBDA evolution reflects the effort to achieve efficiency gains with its coordinated vision for its wireline and wireless operations.
CapEx in the first half totalled 141 million euros, down 11.6% year-on-year in local currency, generating operating cash flow (OIBDA – CapEx) of 311 million euros in the first half, up 34.5% year-on-year in local currency.
T. MÓVILES CHILE
The estimated penetration of the Chilean wireless market stood at 112% at the end of June 2010, up 13 percentage points year-on-year.
The company maintains its focus on customer value, improving customer mix via migrations, developing mobile broadband and providing a segmented offering tailored to the various customer profiles.
The company had 8.0 million wireless accesses at the end of June 2010, up 12.5% year-on-year and underpinned by the rise in contract customers (+16.1% year-on-year). First-half net adds were double the figure for the same period in 2009, topping 468 thousand accesses. It is worth highlighting that contract net adds were 2.5 times higher than in the first half of 2009 and these customers now account for 29% of the total base.
The rise in customers and the increase in their quality was underpinned by the growth in gross adds (+25.1% in the first six months) and the positive churn performance. Movistar is the sector benchmark with a churn rate of 1.4% in the first half, down 0.2 percentage points year-on-year.
Traffic in the first half reached 5,680 million minutes, up 11.6% year-on-year.
ARPU maintains a positive performance, reducing the pace of decline in the year to date to 1.8% in local currency.
Data revenues were once again a key growth driver for the wireless business, rising 40.5% year-on-year in the first half in local currency, and increasing their weighting as a percentage of service revenues by 3.3 percentage points to 14.7% at the end of June.
First-half revenues totalled 586 million euros, up 6.5% year-on-year in local currency. This consolidates the shift in trend from 2009, underpinned by 8.5% year-on-year service revenue growth in local currency.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) in the first half amounted to 263 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 19.3% in local currency. This left an OIBDA margin of 44.8% in the half-year, up 4.8 percentage points year-on-year.
The strength of OIBDA and control of CapEx, which totalled 85 million euros (-10.2% year-on-year in local currency) underpinned a 41.5% year-on-year jump in local currency in operating cash flow (OIBDA – CapEx), to 178 million euros.
TELEFÓNICA CHILE
Telefónica Chile managed 3.1 million accesses at the end of June 2010. Broadband and pay TV remained the main growth drivers, posting respective year-on-year increases of 7.4% and 14.7%.
As a result, the broadband customer base stood at 795 thousand accesses, with net adds of 12 thousand accesses through June. The number of pay TV net adds in the half-year stood at 22 thousand accesses, 4.7 times higher than the figure for the same period in 2009.
Bundling is key on company’s strategy, with a 2P/3P offering which is well positioned in the market: 69% of fixed line accesses are bundled, and nearly all broadband accesses are part of a 2P/3P package. As part of its bundling strategy, the company is beginning to develop products based on optimising value from fixed and mobile broadband packages.
Revenues in the first six months of 2010 amounted to 487 million euros, down 2.5% year-on-year in local currency.
The company continues to make progress on the transformation of its revenue mix, with internet, TV and content revenues advancing 7.0% year-on-year in local currency through June to account for 27.9% of the total (+2.5 percentage points year-on-year). This minimises the impact of the performance of traditional revenues, which were affected by the decline in traffic and line losses. Nonetheless, the decline in these revenues has eased (-9.6% year-on-year in local currency in the first half).
Apart from that, cost cutting measures remain on progress. As a result, operating expenses fell by 5.0% in local currency in the first half, mainly thanks to a reduction in external service expenses and a decrease in bad debt provisions to 4.3% of revenues
(-0.4 percentage points year-on-year).
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 190 million euros in the first half, up 11.0% year-on-year in local currency. The OIBDA margin stood at 39.0% at the end of June 2010, up 4.7 percentage points year-on-year. OIBDA, as well as reflecting the company’s sound management of operating expenses and its ongoing drive to improve efficiency, reflects positive results due to the disposal of non strategic assets.
CapEx in the first half totalled 56 million euros, down 13.6% year-on-year in local currency. This drove operating cash flow (OIBDA – CapEx) in the first half 26.2% higher year-on-year in local currency to 133 million euros.

T. MÓVILES PERÚ
The Peruvian mobile market continued offering significant growth potential, with an estimated penetration rate of 64% as of June 2010 (+2 percentage points year-on-year).
During the first six months of the year, mobile accesses maintained a year-on-year growth of 8.7%, underpinned by the increase of the contract segment (+70.0% versus June 2009). As a result, mobile customer base reached 11.8 million subscribers, of which 16% were contract customers (+5.9 percentage points year-on-year).
Net additions over the first half amounted to 347 thousand, an increase of 38.6% over the same period of the prior year, on the back of sustained growth in the number of gross adds (+9.2% year-on-year) and the consolidation of the churn levels. The positive performance of the contract segment was due to the company’s focus on customer quality, driven by growth in gross adds (+81.0% year-on-year) and migrations. As a result, net adds in the contract segment totalled 688 thousand accesses in the first half, almost 7 times the number registered in the same period in 2009.
Churn over the first six months stood at 3.2% (-0.1 percentage points year-on-year), helped by the improved quality of the customer base.
As of June 2010 traffic totalled 6,280 million minutes, 12.1% higher compared to the same period prior year, driven by positive performance of outgoing traffic (+11.7% over the first six months).
ARPU dropped 1.3% year-on-year in local currency.
Revenues amounted to 475 million euros over the first half, with a year-on-year growth accelerating to 3.2% in local currency. Mobile service revenues in the first six months grew by 6.3% year-on-year in local currency.
It is worth highlighting the performance of data revenues, which posted in the first half of the year a 6.6% year-on-year growth in local currency, to account for 10.9% of mobile service revenues over the first six months of the year.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 182 million euros in the first half, accelerating year-on-year growth rate to 7.6% in local currency. OIBDA margin in the first half of 2010 stood at 38.3%, 1.6 percentage points higher on the same period prior year.
CapEx amounted to 31 million euros in the first half of 2010, 17.5% higher in local currency compared with the same period prior year, driven mainly by improved network coverage.

TELEFONICA DEL PERÚ1
At the end of June 2010, Telefónica del Perú managed a total customer base of 4.5 million accesses (-1.1% year-on-year), with the bundled-services strategy remaining a cornerstone for future growth.
Broadband accesses registered net add for the first half of the year at 57 thousand (+22.9% year-on-year).
Pay TV accesses registered net adds of 38 thousand in the first half, leading the overall TV customer base to 724 thousand (+3% year-on-year on June 2009).
Fixed telephony accesses reached 2.9 million at the end of June, affected by fixed-mobile substitution and the slow down in fixed-wireless telephony growth, posting a 5.0% year-on-year drop compared to June 2009.
The company’s continued advance on the service bundling strategy is reflected in the growing number of wireline accesses with voice packages, which reached 53% of the total as of June 2010 (stable over the first half of 2009). The same trend can be seen in the percentage of wireline broadband accesses with a Dúo or Trío package (67% in June 2010, +8 percentage points on June 2009).
Revenues totalled 547 million euros in the first six months (-1.8% versus the same period prior year in local currency), and were affected mainly by lower revenues from the traditional telephony service, on the back of lower interconnection revenues (impacted by lower wireline termination rates) and traffic.
Internet, TV, and content revenues continued showing a solid year-on-year growth of 11.0% in local currency in the first half of 2010, to account for 35.4% of total revenues (+4.1 percentage points year-on-year).
Operating expenses in the first half rose 5.4% in local currency compared with June 2009.

COLOMBIA
Telefónica has reached 11.8 million accesses in Colombia, with growth across its broadband, pay TV, and mobile businesses (year-on-year growth of 15.7%, 18.9%, and 5.6% respectively), and an improving trend in the wireline business.
Financial results are gradually reflecting the improvements at the operating level. Revenues amounted to 725 million euros in the first half, down 3.7% year-on-year in local currency.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) amounted to 240 million euros during the first six months of 2010, with a year-on-year growth in local currency of 17.9%. For the purpose of comparisons, it is important to remember that OIBDA in the second quarter of 2009 was hit by an increase in bad debt provisions. OIBDA margin stood at 33.1% for the first half (+6.1 percentage points year-on-year).
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) reached 139 million euros in the first half of 2010, for a year-on-year growth of 41.5% in local currency terms, with CapEx of 101 million euros (-4.0% year-on-year in local currency).
T. MÓVILES COLOMBIA
The improvement in the commercial activity has consolidated in the period, with mobile penetration reaching 94% by the end of June 2010 (+3 percentage points year-on-year).
Thanks to the results of the company’s repositioning during 2009, the gross adds in the first half of 2010 grew 48.5% year-on-year. It is also important highlight the quality of these gross adds: there is an increased contribution from contract adds and an improvement in the churn.
As a result, first-half net adds rose to 573 thousand, compared with a net loss of customers in 2009, reaching 9.5 million accesses (year-on-year growth of 5.6%), with a increase in contract customers (+26.1% year-on-year). Of the net adds in the first half, 49% were new contract customers.
Churn stood at 3.2% in the first half (-1.2 percentage points year-on-year). Improving churn remains a management priority within the wider company strategy.
Traffic growth continued to accelerate, reaching 7,774 million minutes for the first six months (+20.1% year-on-year), driven by the increase in outgoing traffic (+25.0% year-on-year).
ARPU evolution is particularly noteworthy, having registered a year-on-year growth rate for the first six months of 3.4% in local currency. The improvement in the customer mix, the increased traffic levels, and the data business were the main drivers behind this stronger trend.
Revenues from the data business were once again one of the main catalysts, showing year-on-year growth of 83.4% in local currency. Mobile Internet is still the main growth driver, and it is worth pointing out that non-P2P SMS now account for 78% of data revenues. The end result is that in the first half of 2010 data revenues accounted for 14.3% of the company’s mobile service revenues, with year-on-year growth of 6.4 percentage points.

Revenues amounted to 407 million euros in the first half, registering a year-on-year growth of 2.1%. Service revenues followed the same trend as operating revenues, with a year-on-year growth rate in the first half of 0.7% in local currency.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) came to 126 million euros for the first six months of 2010, which represented a year-on-year growth rate of 75.5% in local currency. OIBDA margin stood at 30.9% in the first half of 2010 (+12.9 percentage points year-on-year).
CapEx for the first six months reached 48 million euros, up 38.1% year-on-year in local currency terms. Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) amounted to 78 million euros, with a 152% year-on-year increase in local currency.
TELEFÓNICA TELECOM
Telefónica Telecom built on the commercial and operating advances made in previous quarters, consolidating positive net additions in its broadband and television businesses and with stable accesses in its traditional business.
These improvements are the result of the company’s commercial repositioning, which has involved the development of the brand name, the launch of tariffs that are more segmented and better adapted to the market, and increased levels of customer satisfaction. Highlights of these initiatives include improved broadband service speeds and the success of new flat-rate plans for local and long-distance domestic voice calls.
Broadband accesses continued to grow and had reached 495 thousand by the end of June 2010 (+15.7% year-on-year), with net adds during the first six months of 75 thousand. Pay TV accesses reached 171 thousand, with first-half net adds at 44 thousand (compared with negative net adds for full-year 2009).
The company has 1.6 million accesses in its traditional business. These registered a net loss of 13 thousand over the first half.
As a result Telefónica Telecom was managing 2.3 million accesses as of the end of June 2010, with net adds for the six month period of 102 thousand accesses. The year-on-year comparison continues to be shaped by the disconnection of inactive lines in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The bundling strategy has been one of the main levers in the company’s commercial focus. In fact, 80% of wireline accesses are already bundled, and all the broadband accesses are now offered as part of either a Dúo or Trío package.
Revenues amounted to 337 million euros in the first half, with a slow down of their year-on-year decline (-9.4% in local currency).
The company’s transformation process has accelerated over the last few quarters, with revenues from Internet, TV, and content growing by 4.2% year-on-year in local currency over the six-month period. These revenues already account for 21.7% of total revenues.
Meanwhile, operating expenses were virtually unchanged in the first half (+1.3% year-on-year in local currency), on the back of cost control efforts that were focused mainly on external services (-0.6% year-on-year in local currency), which offset the higher expenses related with the increase in commercial activity.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) came to 114 million euros for the first six months. This represented a decrease of 13.4% year-on-year in the first six-months in local currency. This left OIBDA margin at 34.0% for the first half of 2010 (-1.6 percentage points year-on-year).
CapEx dropped 24.8% year-on-year in local currency in the first half to 53 million euros, with operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) at 61 million euros, virtually unchanged on the same period last year in local currency.
MEXICO
Estimated penetration in the mobile market reached 79% by the end of June 2010, with a year-on-year growth rate of 6 percentage points.
Telefónica Móviles México continued improving its positioning, focusing on customer value and exceeding the estimated market share of 21%. These improvements are reflected in the company’s financial results, which reaffirms Mexico as one of the main contributors to Group cash flow growth.
As of the end of June 2010, the company’s total accesses stood at 18.7 million (+15.7% year-on-year).
Mobile accesses reached 18.3 million (+14.5% year-on-year), driven by the advance in the contract segment, where the number of accesses climbed 47.7% year-on-year.
Net additions totalled 856 thousand in the first half (+39.9% year-on-year). The improvement in net additions was due mainly to the better churn, which remains a reference for the rest of the market at 2.2% for the first six months (-0.3 percentage points year-on-year), and, to a lesser extent, it was also helped by the higher number of gross adds (+9.3% in the first half year-on-year).
The company strategy focuses on the contract segment as the key lever to drive customer value. Particularly noteworthy were the growth in the number of gross adds (+40.3% vs. the first half of 2009) and the increase in net migrations, which totalled 193 thousand over the first six months of the year. As a result of all this, net additions in the contract segment accounted for 33% of total net additions in the first half of 2010, compared with 3% in the same period of 2009. Contract customers at the end of the first half accounted for 7% of the total customer base (up 2 percentage points year-on-year).
Traffic over the first six months increased by 8.5% year-on-year, even tough the fact that as of 1 January 2010 a special tax of 3% on production and services (IEPS) and a 1 percentage point increase in VAT were introduced, which were transferred to the customers.
First-half ARPU dropped 6.9% year on year in local currency, on the back of traffic performance.
Data revenues rose 21.4% year-on-year in local currency over the first half of 2010, and accounted for 22.4% of service revenues in the six-month period (+2.2 percentage points year-on-year).
First-half revenues totalled 924 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 11.9% in local currency. Service revenues keep growing (+9.7% in the January-June period in local currency), mainly explained by the performance of the contract segment. It is also worth highlighting the growth in handset revenues (+35.8% year-on-year in local currency over the first half of 2009), which was driven mainly by an increased contribution from top-of-the-range handsets, which help to attract high-value customers.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) grew 20.4% in local currency over the first six months to 313 million euros. This left OIBDA margin at 33.9% for the first half (+2.4 percentage points year-on-year).
CapEx in the first half of 2010 stood at 90 million euros, leaving operating cash flow (OIBDA–CapEx) at 223 million euros (+35.3% year-on-year and in local currency). Second quarter CapEx includes 18 million euros in relation to the consortium managing the dark fibre recently awarded.
VENEZUELA
For a better understanding of the evolution of Telefónica Móviles Venezuela’s financial results in euros, it should be noted that in early January 2010 the Venezuelan government devalued the bolivar fuerte. Therefore in 2010, the conversion of Telefónica Móviles Venezuela’s financial results is delivered at an exchange rate of 4.3 bolivar fuerte per dollar, which implies a year-on-year devaluation of 50%. It must be borne in mind that the company’s financial results reflect a hyperinflation adjustment for both 2009 and 2010.
Market wireless penetration in Venezuela reached an estimated 102% at the end of June 2010, up 3 percentage points from June 2009.
Telefónica Móviles Venezuela managed 11.5 million accesses at the end of June 2010 (-4.9% year-on-year), of which 10.3 million were mobile accesses (10.8 million in June 2009), a service in which the year-on-year performance was driven by a slower pace of gross adds.
In the current environment, the company’s customer acquisition and retention strategies are focused on customer value. Thus, the company provides a comprehensive range of services underpinned by market-leading broadband, television, and mobile telephony products.
The churn rate in the first half of the year was 2.4%, in line with the same period a year earlier, with a positive performance of the churn rate in the contract segment.
Traffic carried by the company in the first six months of the year totalled 7,078 million minutes (-5.1% year-on-year), shaped by the lower accesses relative to June 2009.
ARPU extended the positive trend of recent quarters, underpinned by the good performance in the data business, particularly focused on mobile broadband. Data revenues advanced year-on-year in the first half, accounting for 32.7% of service revenues.
Revenues reached 1,180 million euros in the first half of 2010. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, revenues would have increased 15.0% year-on-year. This performance was fuelled by an increase in service revenue, which also gathered momentum, offsetting lower revenue from handset sales.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) reached 532 million euros in the first half of 2010. Excluding foreign exchange rate effects and excluding the effects of Venezuela being considered a hyperinflationary economy, OIBDA would have increased 3.8% year-on-year. Thus, first half OIBDA margin stood at 45.1% (49.4% in the same period a year earlier), demonstrating the company’s ability to adapt to the prevailing high-inflation environment and higher handset costs.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) stood at 411 million euros in the first half of 2010, shaped by an investment effort to get a CapEx of 121 million euros in the six month period.

CENTRAL AMERICA
Mobile penetration in Telefónica’s Central American markets is estimated at 93% at the end of June 2010 (+7 percentage point year-on-year). It is worth highlighting that penetration rates in El Salvador and Panama, highly competitive markets, topped 110%.
At the end of June, Telefónica managed 6.5 million total accesses in these markets (+7.1% year-on-year) of which 6.0 million were mobile accesses (+7.8% year-on-year vs. June 2009).
Net additions in the first half exceeded 237 thousand wireless accesses vs. a net loss of 96 thousand accesses reported in the first half of 2009. Gross adds increased by a noteworthy 37.3% year-on-year, on the back of increased commercial activity, while churn posted a good performance, reaching 2.6% (-0.2 percentage points year-on-year in the six month period).
Second quarter net additions were affected both by the CDMA network switch off in El Salvador next July, which prompted a rise in low-value customers disconnections in May and June and also by Guatemala’s CDMA network switch off last May with an impact of 40 thousand disconnections.
In the first-half of the year, revenues totalled 281 million euros (-1.8% year-on-year in constant terms).
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 92 million euros in the first half of 2010 (-22.4% year-on-year in constant euros), affected by higher commercial expenses on increased activity. OIBDA margin stood at 32.8% in the first six months (-8.8 percentage point year-on-year).
CapEx amounted to 30 million euros in the first half of 2010, up compared to 2009. This was mainly due to investments to increase network coverage in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) through June stood at 62 million euros (-42.7% year-on-year in constant euros).
ECUADOR
Estimated penetration of the Ecuadorean wireless market stood at 100% at the end of June 2010, an advance of 17 percentage points year-on-year.
Telefónica managed a total of 4.1 million accesses in Ecuador at the end of the half-year period, up 22.2% year-on-year. Wireless accesses reached 4.0 million, a 22.4% increase year-on-year, after posting net additions of 259 thousand accesses in the first half of 2010, almost doubling the figure for the first six months of 2009.
The good performance in the commercial activity was underpinned by the performance in both gross adds and churn rate. Gross adds increased 22.9% year-on-year in the first six months of 2010 while the churn rate stood at 2.6% for the half-year period, a year-on-year improvement of 0.4 percentage points.
Traffic posted a positive performance and stood at 2,102 million minutes at the end of June, up 23.4% year-on-year, underpinned by an increase in on-net traffic (+42.6% year-on-year).

ARPU in the first half of 2010 fell by 6.8% in local currency, mainly affected by the increased weight of on-net traffic, coupled with lower unitary prices. It is noteworthy the good performance of the data business, which reported a 34.4% increase in revenues in the first six months of the year in local currency. Thus, data revenues accounted for 24.5% of service revenues in the period January-June 2010 (up 4.4 percentage points year-on-year) supported by robust growth in non-P2P SMS data revenue (+90.7% in local currency in the half-year period), representing 51% of data revenues at the end of June 2010 (+15 percentage points).
Revenues totalled 191 million euros in the first half, a year-on-year increase of 14.1% in local currency. This performance was buoyed by a slight uptick in service revenues, which increased 10.5% year-on-year in local currency in the first half and the strong performance from handset revenue, which grew 46.1% in local currency in the first six months of the year.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 56 million euros in the first half of 2010, up 9.9% year-on-year in local currency. OIBDA margin stood at 29.2% at the end of June. The lower margin vs. the first half of the previous year (-1.1 percentage points) is mainly due to the higher commercial activity in the first six months of 2010.
CapEx in the first half totalled 18 million euros, down 12.4% year-on-year in local currency. As a result of the advance in OIBDA and the lower CapEx, operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) in the first half of the year amounted to 37 million euros (up 25.8% year-on-year in local currency).

RESULTS BY REGIONAL BUSINESS UNITS
Telefónica Europe
In the first half of 2010, Telefónica Europe maintained a good financial and operating performance, with momentum kept in UK and Germany, whilst the Czech Republic and Ireland saw improving trends despite their respective challenging economic environments.
As part of the company’s focus on actively managing its business portfolio, at the end of June Manx Telecom was sold. From July this unit will no longer contribute to Telefónica Europe’s results.
Telefónica Europe’s total customer base reached 54.5 million at the end of June 2010 (+14.6% year-on-year), mainly leveraged on the continued expansion of mobile contract customers and smartphones’ adoption.
Mobile customer mix was improved throughout the January-June period towards contract, through the acquisition and retention of high value customers despite an increasingly competitive market context. The contract customer base increased 10.4% year-on-year, driving up the total mobile customer base to 45.2 million (+6.0% year-on-year). Contract customers represented 48% of the total customer base at the end of the first half, 2 percentage points higher than in June, 2009.
First half mobile net additions were 1.1 million (-9.9% year-on-year) and mobile broadband accesses growth (+53.9% year-on-year to exceed 8 million).
Telefónica Europe’s wireline retail broadband accesses reached 3.8 million lines at the end of June 2010, adding 2.2 million lines in the first half of 2010.
Telefónica Europe revenues reached 7,728 million euros in the first half of 2010, up 10.8% year-on-year. The contribution from HanseNet and Jajah to revenues in the first half of 2010 was 346 million euros.
The continued adoption of mobile broadband across markets leveraged growth in non-P2P SMS data revenue growth in the first half of 2010. Telefónica Europe again sought to shape the market with its bold move on tiered data pricing in the UK, with access to O2’s high speed data network supported by unlimited and free access to WiFi hotspots across the country.
Operating expenses stood at 5,397 million euros in the first half of 2010 (+12.1%). The targeted customer acquisition and retention policy across markets resulted in higher external services costs, partly compensated by lower supply costs (mainly due to lower mobile termination rate cuts).
In the first half of 2010, operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) amounted to 2,035 million euros. OIBDA grew 8.3% year-on-year in the first half of 2010, with HanseNet and Jajah contributing 57 million euros in the first half of 2010.
In terms of profitability, reported OIBDA margin was 28.0% in the first half of 2010 (-0.6 percentage points year-on-year).
CapEx amounted to 2,135 million euros in the first half of 2010, close to 3 fold increase over the same period of 2009, mainly due to the 1,379 million euro investment in additional spectrum made in the second quarter of the year in Germany.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) for the first half was negative in 100 million euros.

TELEFÓNICA O2 UK
Telefónica O2 UK continued to deliver steady growth supported by a disciplined approach to retaining and acquiring high quality customers, leveraging market contract churn, increased smartphone adoption and innovative mobile internet propositions. This led to an increase in the quality of customer base and profitability.
Total mobile customer base (excluding Tesco Mobile) increased 4.5% year-on-year to reach 21.6 million customers at the end of June, 2010, driven by the expansion in the contract segment (+11.7% year-on-year). This was achieved thanks to the continued leadership in terms of customer satisfaction reflected in the lowest churn rate in the mobile contract segment, as well as increased adoption of smartphones, following the introduction of “iPad” and “iPhone 4”.
At the end of June 2010, 47% of the mobile customer base was in contract (+3 percentage points year-on-year), after recording 502 thousand contract net additions in the first half. Total mobile net additions in the January-June 2010 period were 306 thousand.
Telefónica O2 UK continued leading the market in terms of churn in the mobile contract segment, reaching 1.1% in the first half of 2010, a year-on-year improvement of 0.1 percentage points. It is also worth highlighting that total churn decreased 0.1 percentage points over the previous year in the first half to 2.6%.
In the first half of 2010, traffic increased 9.2% year-on-year to 28,502 million minutes, reflecting an uptake from contract customers and improved trends in roaming traffic.
Total ARPU in the first half of 2010 recorded a 3.0% decline in local currency, to 24.6 euros.
In the first half of 2010, voice ARPU stood at 14.8 euros (-8.7% year-on-year in local currency).
Data ARPU showed a 6.9% year-on-year increase in local currency in the first half of 2010 to reach 9.9 euros, on the back of non-P2P SMS data ARPU growth (+36.5% year-on-year in local currency in the first half).
The company’s wireline retail broadband Internet accesses reached 0.7 million lines at the end of June 2010 (+42.3% year-on-year).
First half of 2010 saw continued improvement in financials, with revenue growth of 4.0% year-on-year in local currency to reach 3,416 million euros.
Mobile service revenues increased by 4.1% year-on-year in local currency in the first half of 2010 to 3,132 million euros.
Non-P2P SMS data revenues continued to show growth with increased penetration of smartphone-related data tariffs, showing a 42.6% year-on-year growth in local currency in the first half of 2010 to amount 32% of total data revenues. Total data revenues in the first half of 2010 reached 1,263 million euros to amount 40.3% of mobile service revenues.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 883 million euros in the first half of 2010, recording a 7.7% year-on-year growth in local currency.
OIBDA margin increased year-on-year by 0.9 percentage points to 25.9% in the first half, leveraging improved commercial costs and further efficiencies.

CapEx increased 30.7% year-on-year in local currency in the first half of 2010 to 347 million euros, reflecting the continued investment in the mobile network to give customers the best user experience. This year-on-year evolution should not be extrapolated for the whole year due to the different shaping of investment execution.
As a result, operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) for the first half of 2010 totalled 536 million euros, a 3.3% year-on-year decrease in local currency.
TELEFÓNICA O2 GERMANY
Telefónica O2 Germany sustained its momentum in the mobile German market in the first six months of the year, whilst smoothly progressing with the integration of HanseNet into the business and also enabling leadership in the future new technology landscape after the acquisition of additional spectrum in May.
Telefónica O2 Germany’s mobile customer base reached 16.3 million at June end, 2010, a 9.0% year-on-year increase, led by the continued expansion of the contract segment (+9.8% year-on-year), as well as the prepay (+8.1% year-on-year). This performance was a result of the success of “O2o” tariffs (launched a year ago).
Mobile net additions in the first half of 2010 were 765 thousand. Mobile contract net additions were 236 thousand in the first half of 2010. Contract customers represented 49% of the base at the end of June 2010, stable over the previous year. On the other hand, due to the campaigns by our larger partner channels, there has been increased prepay activity in the first half, with net additions up 11.0% year-on-year.
The churn rate in the first half of 2010 reached 2.1%, virtually flat year-on-year (+0.1 percentage points).
The continued growth in the customer base led to a year-on-year increase in traffic of 10.1% to reach 12,522 million minutes in the first half of 2010.
Total ARPU reached 14.8 euros in the first half, showing improving trends from the beginning of the year (-6.2 % year-on-year in the first half), as data ARPU partially offset voice ARPU decline.
Data ARPU grew 4.8% in the first half of the year to 4.9 euros. Non-P2P SMS data ARPU grew 23.4% year-on-year in the first half, driven by mobile broadband revenues.
Voice ARPU posted a year-on-year decline of 10.8% in the first half, totalling 9.9 euros.
In the wireline business, the reported retail broadband internet access base reached 2.4 million in June, 2010 after adding 2.1 million customers in the first half of 2010, mainly due to the integration of HanseNet in the business. Wholesale broadband accesses declined 15.8% year-on-year to 1.1 million lines at the end of June, 2010, as wholesale lines previously contracted by HanseNet to Telefónica O2 Germany were internalized after the integration of the businesses.
Revenue performance in reported terms increased 27.4% year-on-year in the first half of 2010 to 2,270 million euros.
Mobile service revenue growth was 1.9% year-on-year for the first half of 2010, amounting to 1,428 million euros. This year-on-year performance is mainly explained by the new commercial model launched a year ago which resulted in a higher percentage of customers buying handsets through “My Handy” (increasing hardware revenues).

Revenue growth drivers in the first half of the year continued to be the increase of mobile customer base, mainly through “O2o” tariffs, and the increase in non-P2P SMS data revenues (+34.9%, year-on-year to account for 41% of total mobile data revenues), fuelled by increased penetration of mobile broadband customers in the base. Total mobile data revenues reached 459 million euros in the first half of 2010, amounting to 32.1% of mobile service revenues. Total revenue growth was also fuelled by the increased contribution from fixed services (629 million euros in the first half) and handset sales, particularly from the “My Handy” distribution model.
Telefónica O2 Germany continued to improve its profitability through increased scale and higher efficiencies in most cost areas. Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) amounted to 532 million euros in the first half of 2010 (+23.2% year-on-year).
As a result of the continued profitable growth achieved by the company, OIBDA margin in the first half of 2010 was 23.5%, a 0.8 percentage point decrease over the same period of 2009, with HanseNet integration diluting margins in the period.
CapEx amounted to 1,661 million euros in the first half of 2010, after the inclusion of 1,379 million euros of additional investment in new spectrum secured by the company in May. The company continued targeting investments to improve mobile network coverage and capacity, in line with customer demand.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) was -1,129 million euros in the first half of 2010 as a result of the above-mentioned evolution of CapEx.
TELEFÓNICA O2 IRELAND
In the first half of 2010, Telefónica O2 Ireland has focused its commercial activity around mobile contract customers’ acquisition and retention, backed on the demand for smartphones and the active policy to migrate prepay customers to contract. As a result, the company has been improving its contract churn rate to reach its lowest level in more than two years.
Contract net additions grew, reaching 21 thousand in the first half, 9.6% higher than in the same period of 2009.
Growth in the contract base (+7.6% year-on-year) led to a stable total customer base of 1.7 million (-0.3% year-on-year). As a result, the company recorded an improvement of 3 percentage points in the contract mix to reach a 42% of the total mobile customer base at the end of June.
Churn dropped 0.4 percentage points year-on-year to 2.3% in the first half of 2010, reflecting the company’s successful effort to retain high value customers.
Traffic carried in the first half of 2010 increased year-on-year by 0.8% to 2,347 million minutes, reversing the declining trend seen throughout 2009 on the back of the performance of the contract segment.
Total ARPU was 37.1 euros in the first half of the year, showing a year-on-year decline of 6.1%.
Voice ARPU (25.1 euros) dropped 9.7% year-on-year in the first half. Data ARPU continued to post a year-on-year increase of 2.3% in the first half of 2010 to amount 12.0 euros, driven by an increasing number of mobile broadband customers in the base.
Revenues for the first half were 419 million euros, a year-on-year decline of 6.9% with mobile service revenues down 7.5% year-on-year in the first half, impacted by mobile termination rate cut from 1st April 2010.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) in the first half was 127 million euros (-11.9% year-on-year) impacted by restructuring costs of 7 million euros already registered in the first quarter. OIBDA margin reached 30.4% (32.1% up to June 2009).
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx) in the first six months of the year totalled 104 million euros (-15.1% year-on-year), with CapEx at 23 million euros (+6.1% year-on-year).
TELEFÓNICA O2 CZECH REPUBLIC
At the end of June, the total number of accesses for Telefónica O2 Czech Republic, including Slovakia, stood at 8.4 million, an increase of 3.3% year-on-year.
Mobile customers in the Czech Republic (4.8 million at the end of June) remained stable over the previous year (+0.1% year-on-year), mainly driven by the growth in the contract base (+4.5% year-on-year) due to the continued uptake of “Neon” tariffs and by customers migrating from the prepay to the contract segment. The mix of the contract base rose 2 percentage points year-on-year to 57%. The company kept showing a continuous improvement in prepay customer base with 70 thousand net losses in the first half of 2010, an improvement of 36.7% with fewer net losses compared to the same period in 2009.
Fixed telephony accesses declined by 5.3% year-on-year to reach 1.7 million at the end of June 2010, with 62 thousand net losses in the first half (30.3% less compared to first half of 2009) helped by uptake of naked accesses following the introduction of new broadband centric proposition in 2009.
Retail internet broadband accesses reached 719 thousand, up 12.5% year-on-year. Pay TV customers increased by 0.4% year-on-year to reach 133 thousand at the end of June.

Total mobile ARPU in the Czech Republic (18.2 euros) declined 9.5% in the first half of the year in local currency.
Voice ARPU dropped 10.0% year-on-year in local currency in the first half, impacted by usage optimisation and mobile termination rate cuts. Data ARPU smoothed its rate of year-on-year decline to -8.0% in the first half in local currency to 4.6 euros, mainly driven by continuous adoption of mobile broadband.
Revenues for the Telefónica O2 Czech Republic Group totalled 1,079 million euros in the first half of 2010, a 6.5% year-on-year decrease in constant currency. This evolution was impacted by mobile termination rate cuts (2009 and January 2010) and also by Universal Service Obligation recognition (2009: 6 million euros in the first quarter and 0.1 million euros in the second quarter; 2010: 1 million euros in the first quarter and 0.5 million euros in the second quarter).

The Czech mobile business improved its declining trend, with mobile service revenue showing a year-on-year decrease of 8.1% in local currency to 534 million euros in the first half, owing to the lower traffic revenues due to the higher number of customers opting for semi-flat rate tariffs and also mobile termination rate cuts. Fixed revenues also showed better trends and fell by 6.9% year-on-year in local currency in the first half of 2010. In Slovakia, revenues grew 51.0% year-on-year in the first half.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) totalled 452 million euros and dropped 17.3% year-on-year in constant currency in the first half, impacted by revenue decline as well as by a number of non recurring items: i) Universal Service Obligation (2009: 3 million euros in the first quarter and 0.1 million euros in the second quarter; 2010: 0.3 million euros in the first quarter and 0.3 million euros in the second quarter), ii) restructuring charges in 2010 (15 million euros in the first quarter and 2 million euros in the second quarter), iii) real estate gains in 2009 (12 million euros in the first quarter and 0.2 million euros in the second quarter), and iv) the proceeds from the settlement agreement with T-Mobile in the second quarter of 2009 (38 million euros).

Notes:
 
-  
OIBDA before management and brand fee.
 
-  
HanseNet has been included in Telefónica O2 Germany’s consolidation perimeter since mid February 2010.

Excluding HanseNet, Telefónica O2 Germany’s revenues would increase 8.5% and OIBDA would grow 9,5%.
 
(2)  
CapEx includes 1,379 million euros from the acquisition of sprectrum in Germany in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding spectrum and in organic terms, CapEx would fall 30.6% y-o-y and OpCF would grow by three times 2009 first half figure.
 
(3)
