America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. Unsponsored ADR Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Total quarterly revenues increased 1.7% to Mex$208,926 million owing to solid momentum in the equipment business segment.
Service revenues were Mex$169,053 million, down 2.2% year over year. Equipment revenues totaled Mex$31,233 million, up 2.1%.
America Movil gained 1.1 million wireless subscribers in the first quarter. This figure includes 1.9 million postpaid subscribers. Brazil, Austria and Colombia were the primary contributors to postpaid subscriber growth. However, the company witnessed net disconnections of 0.8 million in prepaid subscribers. The company had 301 million wireless subscribers at the end of the first quarter.
On the fixed-line, Broadband and Television platforms, the company ended the quarter with 73.4 million revenue-generating units.
The telco operates in multiple regions, namely Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Central America, the Caribbean, Austria and Other European countries.
Of these countries, Peru witnessed year-over-year revenue growth of 51.2% to 2,414 million Soles. The robust performance was driven by higher fixed-line and service revenues.
Argentina’s revenues came in at ARS 90,721 million, down 8.3% from the year-ago quarter’s levels. The downside was caused by declining service, fixed lines, and wireless revenues. The reported data for Argentina are presented in line with IAS29, reflecting the implications of inflationary accounting as the Argentinean economy is projected to be hyperinflationary for the first quarter of 2023. The company also stated that Argentina will be left out of all comparisons for consolidated data at constant exchange rates to maintain consistency.
Colombia’s revenues remained constant at COP 3,738 billion, owing to an increase in service revenues and partly offset by lower fixed-line revenues.
