Consolidated Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2022
Our financial statements are presented in Mexican pesos, but our operations outside of Mexico account for a significant portion of our revenues
and expenses. Currency variations between the Mexican peso and the currencies of our non-Mexican subsidiaries, especially the euro, U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, Colombian and Argentine peso, affect our results
of operations as reported in Mexican pesos.
In the following discussion regarding our results, we include a discussion of the change in
the different components of our revenues and cost and expenses between periods at constant exchange rates, i.e., using the same exchange rate to translate the local-currency results of our non-Mexican
operations for both periods. We believe that this additional information helps investors better understand the performance of our non-Mexican operations and their contribution to our consolidated results.
On November 23, 2021, we completed the sale of our U.S. operations (TracFone Wireless, Inc., TracFone) to Verizon as previously
disclosed in our press release filed on a report on Form 6-K on November 23, 2021. As a result, in accordance with IFRS 5, TracFones operations are classified as discontinued operations for all periods
presented in the consolidated financial information included in this report. Accordingly, results are presented in a single amount as profit after tax from discontinued operations in the consolidated financial information included in this report.
Operating and financial information presented herein therefore excludes Tracfone, including for periods prior to the sale.
Operating Revenues
Total operating revenues for the first six months of 2022 increased by 2.9%, or Ps.11.9 billion, over the first six months of
2021. At constant exchange rates, total operating revenues for the first six months of 2022 increased by 5.1% over the first six months of 2021. This increase principally reflects an increase in prepaid, postpaid, corporate networks and broadband,
partially offset by a decrease in Pay TV service s, fixed voice and equipment revenues.
Service Revenues Service revenues
for the first six months of 2022 increased by 4.0%, or Ps.13.8 billion, over the first six months of 2021. At constant exchange rates, service revenues for the first six months of 2022 increased by 5.9% over the first six months of 2021. This
increase principally reflects increases in revenues from our prepaid and postpaid mobile services, fixed broadband and corporate networks, which were partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our Pay TV services and fixed voice revenues.
Sales of Equipment Sales of equipment revenues for the first six months of 2022 decreased by 2.7%, or Ps.1.9 billion, over
the first six months of 2021. At constant exchange rates, sales of equipment revenues for the first six months of 2022 increased by 0.9% over the first six months of 2021. This decrease principally reflects lower sales of smartphones, data-enabled
devices and accessories.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Total operating costs and expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased by 2.4%, or Ps.8.1 billion, over the first six months of
2021. At constant exchange rates, total operating costs and expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased by 4.4% over the first six months of 2021. This increase in operating costs and expenses principally reflects increases in electric
energy costs, payments to content producers, payments to other networks and IT costs.
Cost of Sales and Services Cost of
sales and services increased by 1.1%, or Ps.1.9 billion, over the first six months of 2021. At constant exchange rates, cost of sales and services for the first six months of 2022 increased by 3.5% over the first six months of 2021. This
increase principally reflects an increase in electric energy costs, network maintenance, infrastructure and lease space. This increase, which was also due to inflationary pressures, was partially offset by the success of our continued cost savings
program.
Commercial, Administrative and General Expenses Commercial, administrative and general expenses for the first six
months of 2022 increased by 5.1%, or Ps.4.5 billion, over the first six months of 2021. As a percentage of operating revenues, commercial, administrative and general expenses were 21.9% for the first six months of 2022, as compared to 21.4% for
the first six months of 2021. At constant exchange rates, commercial, administrative and general expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased by 7.4% over the first six months of 2021. This increase principally reflects one-off items, including a write-off of certain uncollectible accounts, which decreased our balance of expenditures.
Other Expenses Other expenses for the first six months of 2022 decreased by Ps.0.9 billion over the first six months of
2021.
