Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, August 17, 2016 – Partner Communications Company Ltd. (“Partner” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ and TASE: PTNR), a leading Israeli communications provider, announced today its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Commenting on the second quarter 2016 results, Mr. Isaac Benbenisti, CEO of Partner, noted:
“During the second quarter we continued with the implementation of the Company's vision to transform into a comprehensive communications company. We are currently unifying the systems of 012 Smile and Partner, a process that includes the gradual transfer of all our fixed-line customers to the Partner brand.
1 The quarterly financial results are unaudited.
2 For the definition of this and other Non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
2
We announced our intention to promote the deployment of an independent fixed-line infrastructure using fiber optics, and we began a field test around a month ago in which we connected the first residential internet customers to Partner's fiber network at a speed of up to one Gigabit per second (Gbps). Over the last few weeks we have been promoting this issue with the Ministry of Communications and we expect to receive the support of the regulator to establish an advanced fixed-line infrastructure that will both open the market to competition and narrow the gap in internet speeds and available technologies for the Israeli communications consumer, compared to the rest of the world.
In parallel, we are working towards entry into the television broadcast market while taking into account the changing needs of the consumer in the digital era. We await the implementation of the Filber Committee recommendations with respect to the ‘must sell’ requirement for sports content and linear broadcast channels over the internet. The implementation of these steps, along with other steps, will enable the opening of the television market to competition and lead to lower prices for consumers.
In the second quarter we continued to successfully expand our cellular Post-Paid customer base, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of growth in the cellular post-paid subscriber base. This positive trend can be attributed, among others, to the significant steps we are taking in our customer service, including the expansion of available platforms for digital support and customer service, with an emphasis on the social networking platforms.”
Mr. Ziv Leitman, Partner's Chief Financial Officer, commented on the second quarter results of 2016 as compared to the first quarter results of 2016:
“During the second quarter of 2016, the competition in the cellular market continued to erode service revenues, however, to a lesser extent than in previous quarters.
The churn rate for cellular subscribers stood at 9.8% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 11.2% in the previous quarter and 10.9% in the second quarter of 2015. We continue to see a decrease in Post-Paid subscriber churn which reached the lowest level since mid-2013.
Cellular ARPU in the second quarter of 2016 totaled NIS 65, a decline of NIS 2 from the first quarter of 2016, mainly reflecting the decline in revenues related to the network Right of Use Agreement with Hot Mobile, which was partially offset by an increase in seasonal roaming revenues as well as one-time service revenue items.
Revenues and gross profit from equipment sales in the second quarter of 2016 decreased by NIS 62 million and NIS 14 million respectively, compared to the previous quarter. The decreases were primarily due to a decline in the amount of sales, largely resulting from tightening of the Company's customer credit policy.
3
Operating expenses (OPEX)3 decreased by NIS 40 million compared with the previous quarter, primarily reflecting the decline in sales and marketing expenses and the impact of the network sharing agreement, which began in the second quarter of 2016, initiating the implementation of the cost sharing mechanism between the Company and Hot Mobile.
Adjusted EBITDA3 in the second quarter of 2016 increased by NIS 6 million (3%), compared with the previous quarter. The increase mainly reflected the decline in operating expenses, which was partially offset by the decline in service revenues and the decline in gross profit from equipment sales.
Finance costs, net, totaled NIS 28 million in the reported quarter, an increase of NIS 4 million compared to the previous quarter, reflecting higher linkage costs resulting from the increase in CPI, partially offset by lower early debt repayment costs and higher gains from foreign exchange movements.
Profit for the second quarter of 2016 totaled NIS 26 million compared with NIS 14 million in the previous quarter. The increase largely reflected the increase in operating profit.
Cash capital expenditures (CAPEX payments)3 in the second quarter of 2016 totaled NIS 57 million compared to NIS 48 million in the previous quarter, an increase of 19%.
Free cash flow (before interest payments)3 in the reported quarter totaled NIS 160 million, compared with NIS 114 million in the previous quarter. The increase in free cash flow primarily reflected the first installment, in an amount of NIS 35 million, of the lump sum of NIS 250 million under the Network Sharing Agreement with Hot Mobile, which is expected to be paid fully during 2016, as well as a decrease in other operating working capital items.
As of June 30, 2016, net debt3 amounted to approximately NIS 1.96 billion (total short and long term debt and current maturities of NIS 2.88 billion less cash and cash equivalents of NIS 0.92 billion).
In April 2016 the Company repurchased part of its Series C Notes in the amount of approximately NIS 62 million, this being the final purchase under the October 2015 buy-back plan.”

Financial Review
In Q2 2016, total revenues were NIS 897 million (US$ 233 million), a decrease of 14% from NIS 1,044 million in Q2 2015.
Service revenues in Q2 2016 totaled NIS 692 million (US$ 180 million), a decrease of 9% from NIS 757 million in Q2 2015.
5
Service revenues for the cellular segment in Q2 2016 were NIS 527 million (US$ 137 million), a decrease of 9% from NIS 581 million in Q2 2015. The decrease was mainly the result of the decline in revenues related to the ending of the network Right of Use Agreement with Hot Mobile as well as the continued price erosion of Post-Paid and Pre-Paid cellular services due to the competitive market conditions, partially offset by one-time service revenue items.
Service revenues for the fixed-line segment in Q2 2016 totaled NIS 219 million (US$ 57 million), a decrease of 3% from NIS 226 million in Q2 2015. The decrease mainly reflected lower revenues from international calls services.
Equipment revenues in Q2 2016 totaled NIS 205 million (US$ 53 million), a decrease of 29% from NIS 287 million in Q2 2015. The decrease largely reflected a decline in the amounts of cellular and other devices and accessories sold.
Gross profit from equipment sales in Q2 2016 was NIS 42 million (US$ 11 million), compared with NIS 67 million in Q2 2015, a decrease of 37%, again largely reflecting the reduction in the amount of sales.
Operating expenses (OPEX) totaled NIS 572 million (US$ 149 million) in Q2 2016, a decrease of 5% or NIS 29 million from Q2 2015. The decrease largely reflected the decline in payroll and related expenses, as well as a decline in cellular network-related operating expenses following the implementation of the cost sharing mechanism under the Network Sharing Agreement with Hot Mobile, and lower expenses related to payments to other communications providers, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses and expenses related to bad debts and doubtful accounts. Operating expenses including depreciation and amortization expenses in Q2 2016 increased by 5% compared with Q2 2015.
In Q2 2016 the Company continued to record income with respect to the settlement agreement with Orange in an amount of NIS 54 million (US$ 14 million). The income resulted from advance payments received from Orange during 2015 in a total amount of €90 million. As set forth in the settlement agreement, the advance payments are to be recognized and reconciled evenly on a quarterly basis over a period until the second quarter of 2017, against contingent marketing, sales, customer services and other expenses to be incurred over this period.
Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2016 totaled NIS 228 million (US$ 59 million), a decrease of 3% from NIS 236 million in Q2 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment was NIS 155 million (US$ 40 million) in Q2 2016, a decrease of 3% from NIS 160 million in Q2 2015. The decrease principally reflected the decreases in service revenues and in gross profit from equipment sales, which were partially offset by the income with respect to the settlement agreement with Orange and by the decrease in operating expenses. As a percentage of total cellular revenues, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the cellular segment in Q2 2016 was 22%, compared with 19% in Q2 2015.
6
Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment was NIS 73 million (US$ 19 million) in Q2 2016, a decrease of 4% from NIS 76 million in Q2 2015. The decrease also mainly reflected the decreases in service revenues and in gross profit from equipment sales, which were partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses. As a percentage of total fixed-line revenues, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fixed line segment in Q2 2016 was 31%, no change from Q2 2015.
Operating profit for Q2 2016 was NIS 67 million (US$ 17 million), no change from Q2 2015.
Finance costs, net in Q2 2016 were NIS 28 million (US$ 7 million), a decrease of 39%, compared with NIS 46 million in Q2 2015. The decrease was mainly due to lower CPI (Consumer Price Index) linkage expenses as a result of the smaller increase in the CPI level, as well as higher gains from foreign exchange movements in Q2 2016.
Income tax expenses for Q2 2016 were NIS 13 million (US$ 3 million), an increase of 8% compared with NIS 12 million in Q2 2015, reflecting the increase in profit before tax.
Profit in Q2 2016 totaled NIS 26 million (US$ 7 million), an increase of 189% compared with NIS 9 million in Q2 2015.
Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during Q2 2016, basic earnings per share or ADS, was NIS 0.17 (US$ 0.04), compared to NIS 0.06 in Q2 2015.
Cellular Segment Operational Review
At the end of the second quarter of 2016, the Company's cellular subscriber base (including mobile data and 012 Mobile subscribers) was approximately 2.7 million, including approximately 2.19 million Post-Paid subscribers or 81% of the base, and approximately 509 thousand Pre-Paid subscribers, or 19% of the subscriber base.
During the second quarter of 2016, the cellular subscriber base increased by approximately 8 thousand subscribers. The Post-Paid subscriber base increased by approximately 17 thousand subscribers, while the Pre-Paid subscriber base declined by approximately 9 thousand subscribers.
The quarterly churn rate for cellular subscribers in Q2 2016 was 9.8%, compared with 10.9% in Q2 2015, reflecting a decrease in the churn of Post-Paid subscribers, which was partially offset by an increase in the churn of Pre-Paid subscribers.
Total cellular market share (based on the number of subscribers) at the end of Q2 2016 was estimated to be approximately 27%, unchanged from Q2 2015.
The monthly Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) for cellular subscribers in Q2 2016 was NIS 65 (US$ 17), a decrease of 7% from NIS 70 in Q2 2015. The decrease in ARPU mainly reflected the decline in revenues related to the network Right of Use Agreement with Hot Mobile as well as the continued price erosion of Post-Paid and Pre-Paid cellular services due to the competitive market conditions, partially offset by one-time service revenue items.

Funding and Investing Review
In Q2 2016, cash flow generated from operating activities before interest payments (NIS 217 million), net of cash flow used for investing activities (NIS 57 million) (‘Free Cash Flow (before interest)’), totaled NIS 160 million (US$ 42 million), an increase of 567% from NIS 24 million in Q2 2015, reflecting both an increase in cash generated from operations and a decrease in CAPEX payments.
Cash generated from operations increased by 61% to NIS 217 million (US$ 57 million) in Q2 2016 from NIS 135 million in Q2 2015. The increase in cash generated from operations reflected both the first installment, in an amount of NIS 35 million, of the lump sum of NIS 250 million under the Network Sharing Agreement with Hot Mobile (which is expected to be paid fully during 2016), and the decrease in operating assets, which was mainly explained by the decrease in equipment sales under installment payment plans.
Cash capital expenditures (CAPEX payments) totaled NIS 57 million (US$ 15 million) in Q2 2016, a decrease of 49% from NIS 111 million in Q2 2015.
Net debt at the end of Q2 2016 amounted to NIS 1,964 million (US$ 511 million), compared with NIS 2,626 million at the end of Q2 2015, a decrease of NIS 662 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
‘Adjusted EBITDA’ represents earnings before interest (finance costs, net), taxes, depreciation, amortization (including amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses-right of use, and amortization of share based compensation) and impairment charges, as a measure of operating profit. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures provided by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the Company’s historic operating results nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely to enhance the understanding of our operating results. We use the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to highlight the fact that amortization includes amortization of deferred expenses – right of use and employee share-based compensation expenses, but Adjusted EBITDA is fully comparable to EBITDA information which has been previously provided by Partner for prior periods.

(2) | Adjusted EBITDA as reviewed by the CODM represents Earnings Before Interest (finance costs, net), Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (including amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses-right of use, amortization of share based compensation and impairment charges), as a measure of operating profit. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the Group's historic operating results nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The usage of the term "Adjusted EBITDA" is to highlight the fact that the Amortization includes amortization of deferred expenses – right of use and amortization of employee share based compensation and impairment charges. |
