Mexico City - América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“América Móvil”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX, AMOV], announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2022.
3.1M wireless net additions and 186k new broadband accesses
We ended June with 306 million wireless subscribers after incorporating 12.9 million subscribers from the acquisition of Oi. Organically, we gained 1.8 million mobile postpaid subscribers and 1.3 million prepaid clients. Our postpaid and prepaid base increased 12.5% and 8.9% year-on-year, respectively.
Fixed-broadband is still the main driver on the fixed-line platform; we connected 186 thousand new broadband accesses, including 92 thousand in Argentina, 36 thousand in Eastern Europe and approximately 20 thousand in each Central America and Mexico.
Service revenue +4.9% YoY at constant exchange rates
Revenue of 217 billion pesos was up 3.3% in Mexican peso terms, with net service revenue expanding 4.5%. At constant exchange rates, the latter expanded 4.9%.
Mobile service revenue +8.5% YoY and broadband revenue + 3.3% YoY
Mobile service revenue expanded 8.5% at constant exchange rates, which reflects the impact of the consolidation of some of Oi’s clients and revenue from May 1st. Correcting for this effect, mobile service revenue would have increased 7.4%, compared to the 6.3% growth rate observed in the prior quarter.
Service revenue on the fixed-line platform declined 0.5% year-on-year at constant exchange rates. Broadband revenue was up 3.3% whereas corporate network revenue growth increased to 8.9% from 4.9% the prior quarter. The decline in PayTV revenue moderated somewhat to 5.3%, mostly on account of improvements in Brazil.
EBITDA +4.2% YoY at constant exchange rates
Second quarter EBITDA totaled 82.7 billion pesos, a 4.0% increase in nominal peso terms and 4.2% at constant exchange rates, with the EBITDA margin rising 0.2 percentage points to 38.0%.

CapEx of MxP 66Bn and shareholder distributions of MxP 16Bn
Our operating cash flow allowed us to cover our capital expenditures in the amount of 65.6 billion pesos.
