Consolidated Results
Beginning as of January 1, 2012, Telefónicas consolidated results are reported in line with the new corporate structure approved in September 2011 that contemplates two regional business units, Telefónica Europe and Telefónica Latin America, and two global business units, Telefónica Digital and Telefónica Global Resources.
Telefónicas management model, regional and integrated, means that the legal structure of the companies is not relevant for the presentation of Group financial information, and 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 expenses arising from invoicing among companies within Telefónicas perimeter of consolidation for the use of the brand and management contracts have been excluded from the operating results for each Group region, while centrally-managed projects are included at the regional level. This breakdown of the results does not affect Telefónicas consolidated revenue and expenses.
In line with this reorganisation, Telefónica has included in the Telefónica Latin America and Telefónica Europe regional business units all information pertaining to fixed, mobile, cable, data, Internet and television businesses based on their respective locations. The "Other Companies and Eliminations" heading includes the global business units Telefónica Digital and Telefónica Global Resources, which are not taken into account for segmental reporting, the Atento business, as well as other Group subsidiaries and eliminations from the consolidation process.
As of January 1, 2012, Telefónica Europes consolidation perimeter encompasses Telefónica España, with the exception of Tuenti and Terra España. Conversely, Telefónica International Wholesale Services (TIWS), Telefónica North America (TNA) and Jajah are excluded. These five companies are now listed under the Other Companies and Eliminations heading, as part of a group of businesses managed by Telefónica Digital and Telefónica Global Resources. Similarly, the operations of Terra, Medianetworks Peru, Wayra and the joint venture Wanda, which in 2011 fell under Telefónica Latin America's scope, are now listed under the "Other Companies and Eliminations" heading, as part of a group of businesses run by Telefónica Digital.
With the aim of facilitating a homogeneous understanding of the information, the financial results of Telefónica Europe and Telefónica Latin America have been restated for the fiscal year 2011 to reflect the new corporate structure as of January 1, 2011. Telefónicas consolidated results are unaffected by the restatement.
Also, with the objective to provide greater detail in a consistent manner across regions, from January 2012 the revenue breakdown by country is reported under a new structure. Thus, the fixed business is subdivided into "Broadband (FBB) and new services revenues, Voice and Access Revenues and Other, while reporting of mobile revenues is subdivided into Service Revenues which includes Data Revenue, and Handset Revenues.

Telefónicas first quarter 2012 results illustrate the benefits of the Companys geographic diversity and its reinvigorated commercial momentum, started in the second half of 2011 and geared towards enhancing the Companys growth opportunities.
| Total accesses increased by 7% year-on-year to 309 million by the end of March 2012. The strong quarterly mobile commercial activity (+11% year-on-year in gross additions and handset upgrades) was the main factor driving mobile net additions of 4.3 million accesses (excluding 2 million mobile accesses disconnections in Spain), more than 1.5 times the first quarter of 2011 figure. Mobile contract accesses rose 9% year-on-year to account for 32% of the total mobile accesses base. |
| Mobile broadband accesses posted a strong growth of 55% year-on-year, to 41 million at the end of the quarter, accounting for 17% of total mobile accesses (+5 percentage points versus March 2011). In Latin America, mobile broadband accesses doubled vs. March 2011. In Europe, it is important to mention the significant increase in smartphone penetration to 30% (+9 percentage points year-on-year). This growth, along with the adoption of integrated data tariffs, bolstered the monetization of our customers growing demand for mobile data connectivity. |
| By region, it is worth highlighting Telefónica Latin America, whose accesses went up by 11% year-on-year, with net mobile additions of 4.5 million in the quarter, almost doubling the first quarter 2011 figure. |

Notes:
- | For the basic earnings per share calculation purposes, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period have been obtained applying IAS rule 33 Earnings per share. Thereby, the weighted average number of shares held as treasury stock during the period have not been taken into account as outstanding shares. |
- | 2011 and 2012 reported figures include the hyperinflationary adjustments in Venezuela in both years. |
Revenues totaled 15,511 million euros in the first quarter of 2012, a 0.5% year-on-year increase (-1.8% in the previous quarter), due to higher sales at Telefónica Latin America (+8.3% year-on-year), which more than offset lower revenues at the European businesses (-6.6% year-on-year). Excluding the negative impact of mobile termination rates cuts, revenues rose by 1.6% from the first quarter of 2011. Exchange rate effects added 0.4 percentage points to growth.
The Companys push into the mobile data business was reflected in a steady increase of these revenues, with a year-on-year growth of 15.4%. This business accounted for more than 33% of mobile service revenues in the quarter (+4 percentage points year-on-year). Also noteworthy was the sharp increase in non-SMS data revenues of 27.3% year-on-year, which accounted for more than 55% of total data revenues (+5 percentage points year-on-year).
7
As a result, revenues from services with the most growth potential (fixed and mobile broadband, and new services beyond connectivity) continued to increase their weight to total Telefónica revenue (27%; +3 percentage points year-on-year) offsetting a receding contribution from traditional voice and access revenue.
The Companys high and increasing diversification was the driver of its positive revenue performance. Telefónica Latin America accounted for 48% of consolidated revenues (+3.5 percentage points year-on-year) and remained the Companys main growth engine and largest contributor to growth (+3.7 percentage points). Telefónica Europe accounted for 49% of consolidated revenues (-3.7 percentage points year-on-year).
Consolidated main operating expenses (which consist of supplies, subcontract expenses, personnel expenses, bad debt provisions and taxes) for the first quarter totaled 10,775 million euros (+5.9% year-on-year) against a backdrop of higher commercial-related spending versus the first quarter of 2011. By concepts:
| Supplies amounted to 4,596 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 2.7% due to increased handset purchases made in the quarter, particularly in Latin America, which was partially offset by the impact of lower mobile termination rates. |
| Subcontract expenses (3,400 million euros) rose by 8.7% year-on-year, mainly due to higher commercial activity including commissions paid to distributors, and rising operating expenses stemming from expansion of the Latin American network. |
| Personnel expenses stood at 2,217 million euros, up 6.7%, year-on-year, amid rising costs in higher-inflation countries in Latin America and expenses associated with redundancy programs in Brazil and in the Czech Republic, which were partly offset by savings in Spain deriving from the Redundancy Program approved in 2011. |
The average headcount in the first quarter was 289,037 employees (4,685 more than the average for the first quarter of 2011), mainly due to the larger workforce at Atento. Excluding Atento, Telefónicas average workforce stood at 133,322 employees, 512 fewer than in the same period a year earlier, following the aforementioned Redundancy Program in Spain.
Gains on sale of fixed assets stood at 136 million euros in the first quarter, mainly due to the sale of non-strategic towers in Spain and Brazil, which totaled 123 million euros. This heading totaled 104 million euros in the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to the impact of the partial reduction of our economic exposure to Portugal Telecom.
As a result, operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) in the first quarter totaled 5,081 million euros (-8.8% year-on-year). OIBDA margin stood at 32.8% in the quarter (-3.4 percentage points year-on-year).
By regions, Telefónica Latin America continued to increase its contribution to the Groups consolidated OIBDA, accounting for over 50% of OIBDA (up from a 45% in the first quarter of 2011), while Telefónica Europe reduced its contribution to 49% (from a 53% in the first quarter of 2011). Within Europe, Telefónica España represented 33% of OIBDA.
8
Depreciation and amortization in the first quarter (2,570 million euros) increased by 2.1% year-on-year. The depreciation and amortization charges derived from purchase price allocation processes amounted to 262 million euros in the quarter (-19.5% year-on-year).
Operating income (OI) totaled 2,511 million euros in the first three months of the year (-17.8% year-on-year).
Profit from associates stood at -481 million euros in the first quarter of 2012 (-16 million euros in the same period of 2011). This year-on-year change was mainly the result of the impact of Telco, S.p.A.s adjustment of the value of its investment in Telecom Italia, as well as of the operating synergies achieved, with both effects totaling 482 million euros (337 million euros after the related tax effect). It is worth to highlight that this effect is a non-cash impact.
Net financial expenses in the first quarter of 2012 reached 818 million euros, of which 23 million euros were negative foreign exchange differences. This yielded an effective cost of debt of 5.57% in the last 12 months (5.22% in the 12 months ended December 31, 2011). If foreign exchange differences were excluded, the effective cost of debt would be 5.23% compared to 4.91% at December 31, 2011. Regarding this increase in the cost of debt (excluding foreign exchange effects) more than a third is due to higher financing costs, a higher proportion of fixed rate liabilities and the Telefónica España Redundancy Program; approximately another third is due to higher costs and a higher leverage in Latin American currencies and the remaining third is due to various effects.
Corporate income tax in the first quarter of 2012 totaled 401 million euros which, over an income before tax figure of 1,212 million euros, implied an effective tax rate of 33%.
Profit attributable to minority interests reduced net income by 63 million euros in the first three months of the year and fell by 42.9% year-on-year, mainly due to Telefónicas increased stake in Vivo and to minority interests at Colombia Telecom.
As a result of the abovementioned items, consolidated net profit amounted to 748 million euros in the first quarter of 2012 (-53.9% year-on-year). Basic earnings per share amounted to 0.17 euros.
Telefónica reached in the first quarter of 2012 an Operating Cash Flow of almost four thousand million euros (3,956 million euros; -12.4 % year-on-year). Out of this decrease, 211 million euros are explained by working capital consumption resulting from the regular activity reduction in the first quarter of the year compared to the closing of last year. Payment for CapEx (2,594 million euros) increased 161 million euros from the first quarter of 2011 and exceeded the CapEx accrued during the current quarter by 882 million euros. This will be translated into lower payments in the future which, along with the disappearance of the activity reduction effect, should improve working capital evolution throughout the year.
Interest payments totaled 1,169 million euros, 291 million euros more than in the first quarter of 2011. Out of this amount, 170 million euros are non-recurrent impacts derived from payment of interests related to the restructuring of Colombian companies, payments to the SUNAT in Peru and front-end fees related to financing operations signed in the first quarter. The remaining is mainly due to the seasonality in the payment of interests. It is worth mentioning that interest payments were 373 million euros higher than the interest accrued in the quarter, which will be corrected throughout the year.
9
Payment for taxes totaled 319 million euros during the first quarter of 2012, 157 million euros lower than in the first quarter of 2011, mainly due to refund of taxes paid in advance in 2011 and the tax amortization in Brazil of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of VIVO.
As a result, the amount available to remunerate Telefónica, S.A. shareholders, to protect solvency levels (financial debt and commitments), and to accommodate strategic flexibility for the first quarter of 2012 amounted to 82 million euros. This should not be extrapolated over the rest of the year due to the differences created by seasonality in various payments.
At the end of March 2012, net financial debt amounted to 57,131 million euros. The increase in this figure with respect to December 2011 (+828 million euros) can be explained, on the one hand, by greater payments due to commitments, financial investments and share buybacks, these three concepts totaling 625 million euros. On the other hand, the appreciation of Latin American currencies with respect to the euro and other impacts explain a debt increase of 285 million euros. These factors have affected the amount available to remunerate Telefónica, S.A. shareholders, to protect solvency levels (financial debt and commitments), and to accommodate strategic flexibility in the first quarter.
The leverage ratio for the past 12 months (net debt over OIBDA, adjusted by the provision related to the redundancy program in Spain) stood at 2.55 times as of the end of March 2012. If net commitments related to workforce reduction are considered, the ratio of total net debt plus commitments over OIBDA (excluding results on the sale of fixed assets and adjusted by the provision related to the redundancy program in Spain) stood at 2.74 times.
During the first quarter of 2012, Telefónicas financing activity, excluding short-term Commercial Paper Programmes activity, stood at around 7,500 million equivalent euros, and the main focus was on financing in advance debt maturing in 2012, and smoothing the debt maturity profile for 2013 at the holding level. Net debt maturities for 2013 amount to 7,100 million euros and for 2014 to 7,700 million euros. Main financing operations included:
| In January, a loan facility with a Chinese financial entity was signed to finance telecom equipment purchases with a local supplier for an amount of 375 million US Dollars. |
| In February, Telefónica increased the 6 year euro bond issued last February 2011 through a private placement, for an amount of 120 million euros. |
| In February, Telefónica issued a 6 year bond in the euro market for an amount of 1,500 million euros that experienced an excess of demand of over 6.5 times. |
| In February, Telefónica signed a 3 year loan with a financial entity for an amount of 200 million euros. |
| In March, Telefónica issued a bond in sterling pounds for an amount of 700 million and 8 year maturity, which was 3.8 times oversubscribed. |
| Also in March, Telefónica issued a 5 year bond in Czech crowns through a private placement, for an amount of 1,250 million Czech crowns. |
10
| It is worth highlighting, in the loan market, the refinancing signed in March with nearly 40 lenders for two tranches of the O2 syndicated loan maturing in December 2012 and December 2013 for approximately 3,400 million equivalent sterling pounds. On the one hand, Telefónica extended to December 2015 a total of approximately 1,300 million pounds of the 2,100 million sterling pounds maturing in December 2012. On the other hand, Telefónica extended to February 2017 the 2,100 million sterling pounds maturing in December 2013. |
Telefónica, S.A. and its holding companies have remained active during the first quarter of 2012 under its various Commercial Paper Programmes (Domestic and European), with an outstanding balance of nearly 2,100 million euros at the end of March (up from 1,685 million euros at the end of December 2011).
Regarding Latin America, as of March 2012 Telefónicas subsidiaries have tapped the capital markets for an amount of nearly 350 million equivalent euros.
Telefónica maintains total undrawn committed credit lines for an amount of approximately 11,400 million euros, with around 8,500 million maturing in more than 12 months.
At the end of March 2012, bonds and debentures represented 64% of consolidated financial debt breakdown, while debt with financial institutions weighted 36%.
CapEx totaled 1,712 million euros in the quarter, up 10.3% year-on-year, with a CapEx over revenues ratio of 11.0%, excluding investments in spectrum. The Company continued to devote the bulk of its investments to growth and transformation projects (81% of total CapEx), fostering the expansion of broadband services, both fixed and mobile. It should be noted that the year-on-year change of the quarter cannot be extrapolated over the rest of the year given the different levels of investment execution in both years.
Operating cash flow (OIBDA-CapEx), excluding investments in spectrum, stood at 3,374 million euros in the first quarter of 2012.

In the first quarter of 2012 Telefónica continued focused on capturing the growth of its markets, strongly fuelling commercial activity as a lever for future revenues growth. This strategy translated into a historic mark for new customer acquisition in a first quarter, despite higher penetration levels in the region, and enabled Telefónica to accelerate the pace of growth in its customer base to 205
12
million accesses. Accesses rose by 11% year-on-year in the quarter, accelerating the pace of growth in the customer base for the fourth consecutive quarter.
Highlights of key trends in the mobile business in the first quarter of 2012 include:
| Penetration in Latin America is estimated at 122% (+21 percentage points year-on-year). |
| Telefónicas mobile accesses growth accelerated to 13% year-on-year in the first quarter (+11% to December 2011), boosting the accesses base to 170.8 million users. |
| Telefónica maintained its lead in the regions contract segment, with a total of 36.0 million accesses (+17% year-on-year in the quarter), which accounted for more than 21% of the Companys total mobile accesses. |
| Mobile broadband accesses doubled from the first quarter of 2011 to 18.6 million, reaching a penetration rate of 11% of the Companys mobile access base. It is worth mentioning the sharp increase in demand for smartphones, whose customer base has more than tripled from March 2011. |
| Net additions amounted to 4.5 million accesses, nearly double those of the same period in 2011, thanks to the higher gross additions (+24% year-on-year) and churn containment. |
| Traffic in the mobile network rose by 19% year-on-year, with outgoing traffic rising by 22% and voice traffic growth outpacing the growth of accesses. |
| ARPU in the region rose by 0.4% year-on-year in organic terms despite the negative impact of mobile termination rates cuts. Outgoing ARPU rose 4.2% year-on-year in organic terms, reflecting the Companys focus on maximizing customer value. |
Highlights from the fixed business in the first quarter of 2012 include the following:
| Telefónicas fixed accesses in the region rose by 2% year-on-year to 34.6 million accesses. |
| Accesses at the traditional business delivered an improved performance from previous quarters, slipping by 1% year-on-year to 23.9 million. |
| The Companys retail broadband accesses climbed by 12% year-on-year to reach 8.0 million, following net additions of 169 thousand accesses in the quarter. |
| Net additions of pay TV customers totaled 37 thousand in the quarter, bringing the customer base to 2.3 million, up 23% year-on-year. |
| The ongoing focus on bundling and broadband is reflected in the fact that 75% of fixed accesses now include some bundled offer package (+7 percentage points year-on-year), while 89% of broadband accesses are subscribed to a double or triple-play offer. |

Notes: |
- | OIBDA and OI before management and brand fees. |
- | 2011 and 2012 reported figures include the hyperinflationary adjustments in Venezuela. |
- | From January 1, 2012, and due to the implementation of the new organization announced in September 2011, companies related to the digital world that were previously included in the consolidation perimeter of T. Latin America (Terra, Medianetworks Perú, Wayra and the joint venture Wanda) have been excluded from the consolidation perimeter and are included within Other companies and eliminations. As a result, the results of T. Latin America and Other companies and eliminations have been restated for the fiscal year 2011, to reflect the above mentioned new organization. As this is an intragroup change, Telefónica consolidated results for 2011 are not affected. |
Telefónica Latin Americas revenues reached 7,519 million in the quarter and rose by 8.3% year-on-year in reported terms, showing acceleration in the first quarter (+2.5% reported in the fourth quarter of 2011). The acceleration of revenues growth mainly reflects improved performance in mobile service revenues and is due to the success of the mid-2011 shift in the Companys commercial strategy.
The increase in mobile broadband revenues remained a key growth driver, leading for another quarter to a significant increase in mobile data revenues, which rose by 28.8% year-on-year and accounted for 28% of mobile service revenues (+3 percentage points year-on-year). Rising connectivity revenues bolstered the growing weight of non-SMS data revenues, which accounted for 55% of data revenues (+3 percentage points year-on-year).
14
Main operating expenses (which consist of supplies, subcontract expenses, personnel expenses, bad debt provisions and taxes) reached 5,136 million euros in the quarter, increasing 14.3% year-on-year in reported terms, in a context of higher level of commercial activity than in the same period of 2011 in an effort to increase the future revenues growth of the Company.
| Supply costs posted a year-on-year increase of 7.6% to reach 1,916 million euros, as a consequence of market dynamics characterized by the growth of new businesses. This can be observed in the growth of costs of circuits, sites and tower rentals, higher handset costs, influenced similarly by the higher weight of high end handsets as the smartphones, and higher content provider costs. |
| Subcontract expenses reached 2,074 million euros after rising 14.8% year-on-year in reported terms. This evolution is a consequence of the higher commercial activity and the Companys focus on keeping high quality levels amid increased inflation in some countries, which led to increased commissions, systems and network costs, and higher expenses in customer care. |
| Personnel expenses totaled 741 million euros, with a year-on-year increase of 21.2% in reported terms which is partially explained by non-recurrent restructuring expenses associated with headcount reduction programs in Brazil (56 million euros in the quarter). |
OIBDA stood at 2,549 million euros in the first quarter of 2012, growing by 0.8% year-on-year in reported terms, despite the sizeable increase in commercial activity. First-quarter OIBDA reflected the impact of the sale of non-strategic towers (95 million euros versus 11 million euros in the first quarter of 2011) and the workforce restructuring costs in Brazil above mentioned. Moreover, OIBDA was affected by the start-up operation in Costa Rica from the fourth quarter of 2011 (-15 million euros). The OIBDA margin was 33.9% in the quarter.
CapEx reached 906 million euros in the quarter (703 million euros in the first quarter of 2011), a 28.8% year-on-year increase, mainly related to network rollout to provide voice and fixed and mobile broadband and CapEx related to the deployment of pay TV services, corporate services and systems.
Thus, Operating Cash Flow totaled 1,643 million euros, showing a year-on-year decrease of 10.0%, although year-on-year evolution cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the year given the different levels of investment execution in both years.

(1) | PSTN (including Public Use Telephony) x1; ISDN Basic access x1; ISDN Primary access; 2/6 Access x30. Companys accesses for internal use included. Includes VoIP and Naked ADSL. Since the first quarter of 2012, fixed telephony accesses include 384 thousand VoIP customers in Germany and 65 thousand fixed lines in UK to homogenize these accesses to the criteria of Telefónica. |
(2) | Retail circuits other than broadband. |

Telefónicas operations in Europe continued to face economic headwinds, with negative impacts from regulation and stiff competition along the first quarter of the year 2012. Against this backdrop, Telefónica Europe continued delivering its strategy to increase mobile data adoption obtaining positive results of the new commercial propositions launched across markets in the second half of 2011 to enhance our competitive position.
At the end of March 2012, Telefónica Europes total customer base stood at 103.2 million accesses (-1% year-on-year), impacted by the disconnection of 2.0 million mobile accesses on the reported customer base in Spain, after the Company applied more selective activity criteria from January 1, 2012, given the current market environment and the changed commercial model.
24
Some of the key trends in the mobile business in the first quarter of the year 2012 were as follows:
| Total mobile customer base reached 70.2 million (-2% year-on-year), impacted by the disconnections in Spain already mentioned, and reflecting the strong momentum in the contract segment which grew by 3% year-on-year to account for 58% of the base (+3 percentage points year-on-year). Handset upgrades rose in the quarter 16% year-on-year. |
| Mobile broadband accesses rose steadily by 27% year-on-year to 22.6 million in March 2012, to reach 32% penetration of the total mobile base (+7 percentage points year-on-year). Increased smartphone adoption was crucial to this performance, with an estimated share of total handset sales in the quarter of 81%, that drove smartphone penetration to 30% of total mobile accesses at the end of quarter (+9 percentage points year-on-year). |
Highlights from the fixed-telephony business were:
| Retail fixed telephony accesses totaled 16.4 million in March 2012 (-2% year-on-year). |
| Retail fixed broadband accesses stood at 9.7 million accesses at the end of March 2012 (-1% year-on-year), mainly reflecting slower market growth and intense competition. |
| Pay TV accesses continued growing 4% year-on-year to 1.0 million customers at the end of March 2012. |

| From January 1, 2012, and due to the implementation of the new organization announced in September 2011, companies related to the digital world and global resources that were previously part of the scope of consolidation of T. Spain and T. Europe (TIWS, TNA, Jajah, Tuenti and Terra Spain) have been excluded from them and included in Other companies and eliminations. Additionally, since the beginning of the year, the scope of consolidation of T. Europe includes T. España. Consequently, the results of T. Europe and Other companies and eliminations have been restated for the fiscal year 2011, to reflect this new organization. As this is an intragroup change, Telefónica consolidated results for 2011 are not affected. |
Revenues declined 6.6% year-on-year to reach 7,554 million euros in the first quarter of 2012. This performance is mainly explained by lower ARPUs among services amid challenging economies, the accesses evolution and the mobile termination rate cuts.
Total mobile data revenues continued posting solid growth of 6.1% year-on-year in the quarter, to account for 40% of mobile service revenues (+5 percentage points above first quarter of 2011), leveraging strong year-on-year growth of non-SMS data revenues at 21.1% year-on-year to account for 56% of total data revenues (+7 percentage points year-on-year).
Continued focus on cost contention despite increased commercial activity brought main operating expenses (which consist of supplies, subcontract expenses, personnel expenses, bad debt provisions and taxes) to decrease 1.6% year-on-year to reach 5,190 million euros in the first quarter of 2012. By major components:
26
| Supplies decreased 1.8% year-on-year to 2,563 million euros in the first quarter, mainly driven by lower interconnection costs in the year. |
| Personnel expenses decreased by 4.9% year-on-year to 927 million euros in the quarter, mainly reflecting the benefits of headcount redundancy programs in Spain and Germany in 2011. |
| Subcontract expenses reached 1,564 million euros in first quarter 2012, an increase of 3.6% year-on-year due to higher commercial costs associated to strong commercial momentum in contract segment. |
As a result, OIBDA totaled 2,513 million euros the first quarter of 2012 (-14.7% year-on-year). OIBDA margin stood at 33.3% in the first quarter of 2012 (36.4% in the first quarter of 2011), mainly impacted by revenues performance and the boost in commercial activity.
CapEx stood at 742 million euros in the first quarter 2012, up 2.9% year-on-year as a result of continued improvement in mobile networks to deliver high-quality services. This year-on-year performance should not be extrapolated for the whole year due to different shaping of investment execution.
Operating cash flow reached 1,771 million euros to March 2012 (-20.4% year-on-year).

| From January 1, 2012, and due to the implementation of the new organization announced in September 2011, companies related to the digital world and global resources that were previously part of the scope of consolidation of T. Spain and T. Europe (TIWS, TNA, Jajah, Tuenti and Terra Spain) have been excluded from them and included in Other companies and eliminations. Additionally, since the beginning of the year, the scope of consolidation of T. Europe includes T. España. Consequently, the results of T. Europe and "Other companies and eliminations" have been restated for the fiscal year 2011, to reflect this new organization. As this is an intragroup change, Telefónica consolidated results for 2011 are not affected. |

Key performance indicators
The Group uses a series of indicators in its decision-making which it considers provide a better indication of its performance. These indicators, different from accounting measures, are as follows:
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA)
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) is calculated by excluding depreciation and amortization expenses from operating income in order to eliminate the impact of generally long-term capital investments that cannot be significantly influenced by management in the short term. OIBDA is considered to be more meaningful for investors as it provides an analysis of segment operating performance and profitability using the same measures utilized by management. This metric also allows for comparisons with other companies in the telecommunications sector without consideration of their asset structure.
OIBDA is used to track the performance of the business and to establish operating and strategic targets. OIBDA is a commonly reported measure and is widely used among analysts, investors and other interested parties in the telecommunications industry, although not a measure explicitly defined in IFRS-IASB, and therefore, may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other companies. OIBDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as a measurement of our operating results or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measurement of our liquidity.
The following table presents the reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income for the Telefónica Group for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Debt indicators
The Group calculates net financial debt by deducting the positive mark-to-market value of derivatives with a maturity beyond one year from the relevant balance sheet date and other interest-bearing assets (each of which are components of non-current financial assets in our consolidated statement of financial position), current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents from the sum of (i) current and non-current interest-bearing debt (which includes the negative mark-to-market value of derivatives with a maturity beyond one year) and (ii) other payables (a component of non-current trade and other payables in our consolidated statement of financial position). The Group calculates net debt by adding to net financial debt those commitments related to financial guarantees, not considered as net financial debt, and those related to workforce reduction. The Company believes that net financial debt and net debt are meaningful for investors because they provide an analysis of our solvency using the same measures used by our management. The Company uses net financial debt and net debt to calculate internally certain solvency and leverage ratios used by management. Neither net debt nor net financial debt as calculated by us should be considered an alternative to gross financial debt (the sum of current and non-current interest-bearing debt) as a measure of our liquidity.

Merger of Telefónica Móviles Colombia, S.A. and Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP
On March 30, 2012, Telefónica Móviles Colombia, S.A. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor), the Colombian government (the Government) and Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP (in which the Guarantor has a 52% interest and the Government has a 48% interest) entered into certain agreements to restructure the fixed and mobile businesses of such entities in Colombia.
Pursuant to these agreements, the Government will assume responsibility for the payment of 48% of the amounts due by Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP to the public entity PARAPAT (Patrimonio Autónomo Receptor de Activos de la Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones) which become due following the effectiveness of such agreements. In addition, the agreements provide for the temporal extension of Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESPs payment obligations to PARAPAT for six additional years (until 2028). As of March 31, 2012, the amounts due by Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP to PARAPAT amounted to 664,171,264,796 Colombian pesos, plus interest.
Finally, Telefónica Móviles Colombia, S.A. and Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP are expected to merge. The Guarantor will initially hold 70% of the share capital of the resulting company. The Government will initially hold the remaining 30% but may increase its stake up to 33% by 2015, based on the operating performance of the resulting company. The resulting company is expected to be the second largest integrated telecommunications operator in Colombia, and will be responsible for the remaining 52% of the payment obligations to PARAPAT.
The agreements referred to above are subject to the obtention of the required regulatory approvals, some of which are currently pending, and the merger of Telefónica Móviles Colombia, S.A. and Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP.
