  2014 capex of P31-P32 billion, to remain below 20% of service revenues

MANILA, Philippines, 6th May 2014 –– Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”) (PSE: TEL) (NYSE: PHI) today announced its unaudited financial and operating results for the first three months of 2014 with Consolidated Core Net Income, before exceptional items, amounting to P9.8 billion, 2% or P0.2 billion higher than the P9.6 billion registered in the same period last year. The increase was due mainly to higher service revenues and equity share in earnings of subsidiaries, and lower financing costs.

Reported Net Income, after reflecting exceptional transactions for the period, grew by 2% to P9.4 billion, from P9.2 billion last year, as a result of the rise in core income and the increase in manpower rightsizing program (MRP) expenses in the first quarter of 2013 following the application of Revised Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 19, which offset higher foreign exchange and derivative losses.

Consolidated service revenues for the first quarter of the year improved by 3% to P41.2 billion, as revenues increases from the data and internet business exceeded declines from international and national long distance streams.

EBITDA margin for the period stood at 48%. Consolidated EBITDA dipped by 2% year-on-year to P19.7 billion as increases in service revenues were offset by higher cash operating expenses and a rise in subsidies.

The PLDT Group’s subscriber base reached 76.2 million.

“The structural shift in our revenue mix continues, wherein growing revenues from our data businesses replace those from our legacy businesses such as NLD, and fixed and wireless international voice. While this transition takes place, revenue growth and EBITDA margins will be tempered. In the first quarter of 2014, consolidated revenues grew 3% year-on-year on the back of a 22% rise in broadband and data revenues, muted by a 2% decline in legacy revenues and a similar decline in combined LEC, cellular domestic voice and SMS revenues,” explained Manuel V. Pangilinan, PLDT Chairman.

Consolidated free cash flow for the first three months of 2014 remained robust at P10.8 billion, higher by P2.9 billion year-on-year. Consolidated capital expenditures for the period amounted to P2.2 billion compared with P3.1 billion in the same period last year. On-going network initiatives, include expanding 3G and 4G/LTE coverage; increasing the group’s fiber footprint which now stands at nearly 85,000 kilometers; continued integration of the Smart and Sun networks, as well as projects to enhance the group’s multi-media capabilities. Following the completion of the two-year network modernization program in 2012, PLDT expects capex to normalize at less than 20% of service revenues. For 2014, capital expenditures are projected to be in the range of P31 — P32 billion or about 18-20% of service revenues.

“Even as PLDT’s network remains unrivalled, we continue to invest in our network in order to provide quality of experience to our customers. As part of our vision of “broadbanding the nation”, we are deploying the latest digital, all-IP technologies that will enable us to deliver products and services that respond to various speed and volume requirements to our subscribers. Moreover, we are building up scale in order to achieve efficiencies that will lower the cost of providing our services and help strengthen the international competitiveness of the country,” stated Napoleon L. Nazareno, President and CEO of PLDT and Smart.

The Group’s consolidated net debt stood at US$1.4 billion at the end of March 2014, with net debt to EBITDA at 0.8x. Gross debt amounted to US$2.8 billion. The Company’s debt maturities continue to be well spread out, with over 70% due in and after 2017, including P15 billion of fixed rate retail bonds issued in January 2014. The percentage of US dollar-denominated debt to the Group’s total debt portfolio is at 47%. Taking into account our peso borrowings, our hedges and our US dollar cash holdings, only 34% of total debt remains unhedged. The Group’s cash and short-term securities are invested primarily in bank placements and government securities. PLDT was the first Philippine company to be rated “investment grade” by the three major international ratings agencies, namely Fitch, Moody’s, and Standard and Poor’s.

Cellular

Wireless subsidiaries Smart Communications, Inc. (“Smart”) and Digitel Mobile (“DMPI”) together continue to lead the industry in terms of both revenues and subscribers. Wireless service revenues grew by 2% year-on-year to P28.9 billion in the first quarter of 2014, buoyed by the continued rise in both non-SMS data and cellular voice revenues.

Postpaid revenues, now accounting for 20% of total cellular revenues, registered a 17% increase to P5.1 billion in the first three months of 2014.

The PLDT Group’s total cellular subscriber base at the end of March 2014 was 70.5 million subscribers, broken down as follows: Smart had 25.9 million subscribers under its mainstream Smart brands; value brand Talk ‘N Text ended with 29.5 million subscribers; and there were 15.1 million Sun Cellular subscribers.

The Group’s combined postpaid cellular subscriber base grew by 19% or about 394,000 from the first quarter of 2013 to 2.5 million at the end of March 2014, while the combined prepaid cellular subscriber base reached 68.0 million.

Broadband

Total broadband, data and internet revenues for the first three months of 2014 rose by P1.5 billion or 24% year-on-year to P7.6 billion, and now account for 18% of total group service revenues. Wireless broadband revenues, exclusive of mobile internet revenues, increased by 7% to P2.4 billion from P2.3 billion last year. On the other hand, mobile internet revenues grew by 81% to P1.8 billion as the upward momentum in usage continued.

PLDT Group fixed broadband businesses registered revenues of P3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2014, higher by 18% from the same period in 2013.

The Group’s combined broadband subscriber base was 3.6 million at the end of March 2014. Smart’s wireless broadband subscriber base reached 2.0 million at the end of the period, over 1.4 million of whom were prepaid customers. In addition, Sun Cellular had a wireless broadband subscriber base of more than 548,000. Meanwhile, PLDT’s fixed broadband subscribers crossed the 1-million mark having increased by 10% in the first quarter of 2014, and now represent 48% of the fixed line subscriber base.

“We are excited about the numerous opportunities that data and broadband present as these remain largely untapped; and we believe we have established an early foothold in the market. Smartphone ownership within our subscriber base continues to grow strongly, now at 18% from 10% at the end of the first quarter of 2013. During the period, data usage rose by over 150%.

“Even as we have seen significant growth in our postpaid business in terms of revenues and subscribers, we have directed our efforts towards how we could monetize nascent prepaid data. This includes providing an “always-on” experience via low-denomination sachet apps, and getting our customers comfortable with using data without fear of bill shock or background charging.

“With our unparalleled network advantage, we believe that we are well positioned to command leadership in this space” said Orlando B. Vea, Smart Chief Wireless Adviser.

Fixed Line

Fixed line service revenues at the end of March 2014, net of interconnection costs, increased by 6% or P0.8 billion year-on-year to P14.0 billion. Data and fixed broadband revenues, now contributing 53% to total fixed line revenues, continued to grow following an 18% improvement in fixed broadband revenues, a 6% rise in corporate data and other network services, and a 14% increase in data center revenues. Combined ILD and NLD businesses of PLDT, accounting for 14% of fixed line revenues or P2.0 billion, were lower by 6%. LEC revenues representing a third of total fixed line revenues were higher by 2% at P4.1 billion.

The fixed line subscriber base remained at 2.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2014.

“PLDT’s fixed line business is one of the few in the world registering year-on-year growth. Demand for data and broadband services from both retail and corporate clients remains robust and is expected to remain so given the improvement in overall economic conditions in the Philippines, as well as the unabated growth of the BPO sector and remittances from overseas Filpino workers. In response, our HOME and ENTERPRISE teams continue to leverage on the strength of our integrated network to make available various products and services relevant to the market,” declared Nazareno.

Conclusion

“Our revenue mix remains dynamic. Our task is to manage the interplay among our businesses by pushing those sectors which are growing and stable, while maximizing the long-tail of our legacy segments. Given the Company’s performance in the first quarter of 2014 and the outlook for the rest of the year, I can say that PLDT is firmly back on the growth path, and on track to meet our Core Net Income guidance of P39.5 billion for the full year 2014,” concluded Pangilinan.
