(TASE: BEZQ), Israel?s leading telecommunications provider, today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Details regarding the investor conference call and webcast to be held today are included later in this press release.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bezeq Group (consolidated) Q2 2012 Q2 2011 Change ----------------------------- (NIS millions) Revenues 2,595 2,893 -10.3% Operating profit 746 935 -20.2% EBITDA 1,104 1,283 -14.0% EBITDA margin 42.5% 44.3% Net profit attributable to Company shareholders 415 585 -29.1% Diluted EPS (NIS) 0.15 0.21 -28.6% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash flow from operating activities 990 670 47.8% Payments for investments, net 360 406 -11.3% Free cash flow (1) 630 264 138.6% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net debt/EBITDA (end of period) (2) 1.69 1.33 Net debt/shareholders' equity (end of period) 3.06 2.66 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities less net payments for investments. (2) EBITDA in this calculation refers to the trailing twelve months.
Shaul Elovitch, Bezeq?s Chairman, said: ?In the second quarter we experienced comprehensive regulatory changes and intensifying competition in the various areas of our operations, all of which are reflected in our financial results. Our strategy of long-term investment in advanced infrastructure, innovative services and first class customer service, have made us the leading communications group in Israel, well capable of dealing with the competition. The current changes in the communications market also have a positive potential for Bezeq, in that they can be leveraged for greater operational efficiency while creating business opportunities for the Group as a whole.?
Alan Gelman, Chief Financial Officer and Deputy CEO of Bezeq, commented, ?The second quarter results reflect the advantages of our diverse mix of operations. We delivered solid performances in the Fixed Line and International segments which moderated the weakness in the performance of our Pelephone cellular segment.
As a result of the increased level of competition in the cellular market we are updating our full year Group financial guidance accordingly. For the full year 2012, we now anticipate that we will achieve revenues of between NIS 10.2 billion and NIS 10.5 billion, Net profit to shareholders of between NIS 1.75 billion and NIS 1.85 billion and our EBITDA will be between NIS 4.4 billion and NIS 4.5 billion.
We now expect free cash flow in 2012 to improve materially compared to 2011 and to amount to above NIS 2.5 billion. This is primarily due to the improvement in working capital and the progress made in large infrastructure projects.
We are prepared to compete with the challenges in the industry and are implementing streamlining measures which are expected to reduce the impact of the cellular segment on the Bezeq Group. These measures are expected to influence our operations in the short to medium term.
Our robust cash flows allow us to extend our track record for deploying and supporting Israel?s leading communications infrastructures, all while continuing to return value to our shareholders through cash dividends. In accordance with the Company?s dividend policy, the Board of Directors recommended the distribution of 100% of net profits attributable to shareholders for the first half of 2012 as a cash dividend to shareholders of NIS 997 million. Together with the regular dividend, the Company will make the fourth payment of the special dividend of NIS 500 million. The total dividend to be distributed will be NIS 1.497 billion (approximately NIS 0.55 per share). The regular dividend, which is subject to shareholder approval, would be payable together with the special dividend on October 10, 2012 to shareholders of record as of September 23, 2012,? concluded Mr. Gelman.
Bezeq Group Results (Consolidated)
Revenues of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 2.60 billion compared with NIS 2.89 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 10.3%. Most of the decrease in the Group?s revenues is due to lower revenues from the sale of cellular handsets and the erosion of revenues from cellular services.
Operating profit of the Group in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 746 million, compared with NIS 935 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 20.2%. EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 1.10 billion (EBITDA margin of 42.5%), compared with NIS 1.28 billion (EBITDA margin of 44.3%) in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 14.0%. Net profit attributable to Bezeq shareholders in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 415 million compared with NIS 585 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 29.1%. The decrease in operating profit, EBITDA and net profit is primarily attributable to a decrease in profitability in the cellular segment.
Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 990 million compared with NIS 670 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, an increase of 47.8% due to improved working capital in the cellular segment. As a result of the increased cash flow from operating activities as well as the completion of large infrastructure projects initiated in prior years, free cash flow in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 630 million compared with NIS 264 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, an increase of 138.6%.
Gross capital expenditures (CAPEX), in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 382 million compared with NIS 495 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 22.8%. The Group?s capex to consolidated revenues ratio in the second quarter of 2012 was 14.7%, compared with 17.1% in the corresponding quarter of 2011.
As of June 30, 2012, gross financial debt of the Group was NIS 9.13 billion, compared with NIS 6.98 billion as of June 30, 2011. The net financial debt of the Group was NIS 7.90 billion compared with NIS 6.50 billion as of June 30, 2011. At the end of June 2012, the Group?s net financial debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.69, compared with 1.33 at the end of June 2011.
Bezeq Fixed-Line Results
- Bezeq?s NGN contributed to 6% growth in revenue from Internet and data services in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the corresponding quarter last year
- Increase of 57% year-over-year in average broadband speed per customer to 8.3 Mbps
Avi Gabbay, Bezeq CEO, stated: ?Our innovation, products and customer service have led to an increase of 15,000 new Internet subscribers and continuation of the rapid rise in average surfing speeds. Nevertheless, the competitive impact of regulatory restrictions and limitations on Bezeq in everything relating to service packages, such as bundling and triple play, resulted in Bezeq losing telephone lines in the second quarter.?
Revenues in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 1.16 billion compared with NIS 1.17 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 0.8%. The decline was mainly attributable to a decrease of 5.8% in telephony revenues offset by an increase of 6.0% in Internet and transmission revenues which amounted to NIS 532 million. This increase stemmed primarily from the continued upgrading of surfing speeds, which increased by 57% compared with the corresponding quarter of 2011, bringing the average customer broadband Internet speed up to 8.3 Mbps.
Operating profit in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 437 million compared with NIS 517 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 15.5%. EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 615 million (EBITDA margin of 53.0%) compared with NIS 688 million (EBITDA margin of 58.8%) in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 10.6%. Net profit in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 263 million compared with NIS 330 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 20.3%. The decrease in profitability metrics was mainly due to a write-off of NIS 54 million due to the cancellation of the Company?s previous CRM project.
Bezeq?s fixed-line operations strengthened its status as the leader in Internet services in Israel, with the number of subscribers rising by 4.4% compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011 to reach 1.136 million at the end of the second quarter. During the quarter, the Company recruited 15,000 new Internet subscribers. Average revenue per user (ARPU) from broadband Internet services amounted to NIS 80 per month in the second quarter of 2012, similar to the corresponding quarter in 2011.
The number of access lines at the end of the second quarter of 2012 was 2.335 million, a decrease of 0.9% compared with the corresponding quarter of 2011. Average monthly revenue per line (ARPL) was NIS 73, compared with NIS 77 in the corresponding quarter of 2011.

Pelephone Results
- Revenues in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 1.15 billion compared with NIS 1.44 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2011 due to a decrease in the number of handsets sold and erosion of tariffs
- Pelephone maintained a high EBITDA margin of 35% due to streamlining measures taken by the Company
Gil Sharon, CEO of Pelephone, stated: ?The decrease in our profitability in the quarter is the result of the ongoing erosion of tariffs during the past year. Efficiency measures that we have been implementing since the beginning of the year have moderated the impact. The new competitors who entered the market in the middle of the second quarter created an opportunity for Pelephone in the form of new sources of revenue through wholesale service agreements. Two of those competitors ? Hot Mobile and Rami Levy ? are hosted on our high-speed network. Since the onset of increased competition, we have lost fewer subscribers to the new and incumbent operators and recruited more subscribers from the incumbent carriers, thanks to a combination of the advantages of our high-speed network and excellent customer service.?
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 1.15 billion compared with NIS 1.44 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 20.2%.
Revenues from services in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 857 million compared with NIS 925 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 7.4%. The decrease stemmed primarily from tariff erosion as a result of increased competition in the market.
Revenues from data, content services and value added services (VAS) in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 312 million representing 39.0% of Pelephone?s revenues from cellular services, compared with NIS 297 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, an increase of 5.1%.
Revenues from equipment in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 291 million compared with NIS 513 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 43.3%. The decrease stemmed from a reduction in the number of handsets sold compared with the corresponding quarter of 2011.
Operating profit in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 259 million compared with NIS 357 million, a decrease of 27.5%. EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 396 million (EBITDA margin of 34.5%), compared with NIS 500 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011 (EBITDA margin of 34.8%), a decrease of 20.8%. Net profit in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 194 million compared with NIS 279 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 30.5%. The decrease in Pelephone?s profitability metrics stemmed primarily from the continued erosion of tariffs during the year and the entrance of new operators during the second quarter as well as from a decrease in handset sales.
Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 556 million compared with NIS 101 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to an improvement in working capital due to a decrease in the sale of handsets as well as from the factoring of certain payments for handsets paid for in installments.
Total Pelephone subscribers decreased sequentially by 17,000 during the second quarter of 2012 and numbered 2.859 million, compared with 2.827 million on June 30, 2011.
Average monthly revenue per user (ARPU) in the second quarter of 2012 was NIS 99, compared with NIS 97 sequentially and NIS 109 in the corresponding quarter of 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pelephone Q2 2012 Q2 2011 Change ----------------------------- (NIS millions) Total revenues 1,148 1,438 -20.2% Service revenues 857 925 -7.4% Equipment revenues 291 513 -43.3% Operating profit 259 357 -27.5% EBITDA 396 500 -20.8% EBITDA margin 34.5% 34.8% Net profit 194 279 -30.5% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash flows from operating activities 556 101 450.5% Payments for investments, net 109 86 26.7% Free cash flow (1) 447 15 2880.0% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total subscribers (end of period, in thousands) (2, 6) 2,859 2,827 1.1% Average revenue per user (ARPU, NIS) (3, 6) 99 109 -9.2% Average monthly minutes of use per subscriber (MOU) (4, 6) 409 370 10.5% VAS revenues as % of total cellular service revenues 39.0% 34.5% Churn rate (5, 6) 6.0% 6.6% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities less net payments for investments. (2) Subscriber data includes Pelephone subscribers (excluding subscribers of operators that Pelephone hosts on its network) and do not include inactive subscribers who are connected to Pelephone's services for six months or more. An inactive subscriber is one who in the past six months has not received or made at least one call or who has not paid for Pelephone's services. (3) Average monthly revenue per subscriber is calculated by dividing average monthly revenue from cellular services, both from Pelephone subscribers and from other communications operators, including revenues from cellular operators who use Pelephone's network (from whom revenues commenced in 2012), and repair and warranty services in the period by average active subscribers in the same period. (4) Average monthly use per subscriber (in minutes) is calculated according to a monthly average of total outgoing and incoming minutes in the period, divided by the average total number of active subscribers in the same period. (5) Churn rate is calculated according to the proportion of subscribers who have disconnected from the Company's services and subscribers who have become inactive during the period, divided by the total number of average active subscribers during the period. (6) In the 2011 report, due to the increased transition of subscribers to prepaid plans in the first months of the year, after reduction of the exit fees, Pelephone decided not to count as "active" subscribers those who made no calls during the fourth quarter. As a result, Pelephone deleted approximately 91,000 subscribers. They were deleted retroactively from each quarter in 2011 in which they were transferred to prepaid plans. Consequently, the subscriber data, ARPU, MOU and churn rate were retroactively adjusted in each quarter of 2011.
Bezeq International Results
- Net recruitment of Internet subscribers increased 27% in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011, driven by the deployment of the new submarine communications cable infrastructure and the Power NGN high speed network
- EBITDA increased 1% year-over-year to NIS 87 million in the first quarter of 2012
Itzik Benbenisti, CEO of Bezeq International, stated: ?Our second quarter success is impressive against a backdrop of an evolving regulatory landscape and intensifying competition in all the areas of our operations. Despite these challenges, we have been able to leverage the strength of our comparative advantages to record a 27% increase in net recruitment of Internet customers for the company?s services on our new submarine communications cable, and to show continued growth in the world of integration as well as cloud computing for business customers. These achievements contributed to our maintaining a high level of revenue and growth in EBITDA, a reflection of our strength and efficiency.?
Revenues in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 330 million compared with NIS 332 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 0.8%. Revenue was driven by sales of the Company?s Internet services on the submarine cable infrastructure and the new Internet network, which was launched at the beginning of the year, coupled with further growth in sales of business communications solutions. This growth was offset by the ongoing erosion of revenues from international calls and from hubbing activities.
Operating profit in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 53 million compared with NIS 60 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 12.2%. Net profit in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 39 million compared with NIS 46 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 16.1%. The decrease in operating profit and net profit stemmed primarily from an increase in the company?s depreciation expenses as a result of investments in the submarine cable and additional investments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 87 million (EBITDA margin of 26.5%) compared with NIS 87 million (EBITDA margin of 26.1%) in the corresponding quarter of 2011, an increase of 0.8% which is a direct reflection of the operating efficiency of the Company.
Capital expenditures (CAPEX), in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 29 million compared with NIS 71 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 59.2%. The decrease in CAPEX stemmed mainly from the completion of the investment in the submarine cable from Israel to Europe.
Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 64 million compared with NIS 68 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 5.7%. The decrease stemmed mainly from changes in working capital.
