Exhibit 1

MANILA, Philippines, 4^th August 2015–– Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”) (PSE: TEL) (NYSE: PHI) today announced its unaudited financial and operating results for the first six months of 2015 with Consolidated Core Net Income, before exceptional items, amounting to P18.9 billion, 5% or P0.9 billion lower than the P19.8 billion recorded in the same period last year. The decrease was due mainly to lower EBITDA reflecting the impact of expenses relating to the manpower reduction program, and higher financing costs, offset by gain from the sale of Meralco shares by Beacon.

Reported Net Income, after reflecting exceptional transactions for the period, declined 6% to P18.7 billion, from P20.0 billion in the first half of 2014, as a result of the dip in core net income and net foreign exchange and derivative losses.

EBITDA margin for the period was at 44%. Consolidated EBITDA for the first six months of 2015 was 7% lower at P35.5 billion compared with the same period last year due to lower service revenues from the wireless business, higher cash operating expenses, which include the costs arising from the manpower reduction program, and higher provisions.

Consolidated service revenues for the period dropped by 2% to P81.2 billion, as revenues from the international and national long distance (ILD/NLD) segments continued their decline. Excluding ILD/NLD revenues of P10.2 billion, consolidated service revenues grew by 1% year-on-year, from P69.9 billion to P70.9 billion.

Consolidated free cash flow for the first half of 2015 stood at P16.9 billion. Consolidated capital expenditures for the period amounted to P13.9 billion, nearly P6 billion higher than the capex level in the same period last year as investments were made in support of:

•

Improved 3G and 4G access networks

•

Increased fiber reach and capacity

•

Enhanced indoor and outdoor coverage

•

Continued network optimization

•

Augmented network resiliency and redundancy

•

Increased data center capacity

•

Unified Smart-Sun network project to build operational efficiency

The Group’s consolidated net debt remained stable at US$2.3 billion as at 30^th June 2015, with net debt to EBITDA higher at 1.43x. Gross debt amounted to US$3.2 billion. The Group’s debt maturities continue to be well spread out, with over 60% due after 2017. The percentage of U. S, dollar-denominated debt to the Group’s total debt portfolio is at 48%. Taking into account our peso borrowings, our hedges and our U. S. dollar cash holdings, only 32% of total debt remains unhedged. The Group’s cash and short-term securities are invested primarily in bank placements and Government securities. PLDT was the first Philippine company to be rated “investment grade” by three major international ratings agencies, namely Fitch Ratings, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s.

Earlier today, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an interim regular dividend of P65 per share, representing 75% of First Half 2015 Core Earnings.

Exhibit 1

Consumer

The digital age has blurred the lines of the traditional separation between wireless and fixed line subscribers. More and more, digital consumers require seamless access and connectivity between “home and away”. Accordingly, PLDT has realigned its business segments to reflect this evolution and now looks at its wireless and fixed subscribers through the same digital lens.

All our offerings are premised on providing our consumers “Entertainment Everywhere, Convenience Everywhere, Peace of Mind Everywhere”. Our recent content partnerships, launched in the second quarter of 2015, serve both homes and individuals, both on a stand-alone and bundled basis. PLDT invested US$15 million in iFlix, a Subscription Video on Demand service that has more than 11,000 hours of top TV shows and movies in its portfolio. iFlix also recently signed a landmark agreement with The Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia) to carry the latter’s content as well. iFlix is currently available in the Philippines and Malaysia and will soon penetrate Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. This was followed by an agreement with Fox International which will enable the PLDT Group’s subscribers to enjoy Fox content via live and catch-up TV as well as Video on Demand. PLDT believes that content is the key to increased data/broadband usage, thereby fuelling revenue growth.

The Group’s combined broadband subscriber base reached 4.9 million at the end of June 2015, 3.7 million of whom use wireless broadband mainly fromSmart Broadband, Smart’s wireless broadband service offered through its wholly-owned subsidiary Smart Broadband, Inc. Another 1.2 million users subscribe to PLDT’s fixed broadband service.

The fixed line subscriber base reached about 2.3 million at the end of the first half of 2015, about 53% of whom have fixed broadband subscriptions.

Exhibit 1

Postpaid revenues now account for 23% of total cellular revenues, having improved by 12% to P11.6 billion for the first six months of 2015.

The PLDT Group’s total cellular subscriber base at the end of the period stood at 68.9 million, broken down as follows: Smart had 25.3 million subscribers under its mainstreamSmartbrands; value brandTalk ‘N Textended with 27.9 million subscribers; and there were 15.6 millionSun Cellular subscribers.

The Group’s combined postpaid cellular subscriber base grew by over 461,000 from the first half of 2014 or over 253,000 from the end of 2014, rising to just over 3.0 million at the end of the period, while the combined prepaid base stood at 65.8 million.

“PLDT will capitalize on its unique ability to offer a seamless, connected consumer experience to our subscribers who are rapidly evolving to the digital space. Our value proposition will provide connectivity + entertainment + peace-of-mind + convenience,” statedNapoleon L. Nazareno, PLDT President and CEO.

Enterprise

The PLDT Group is also uniquely positioned to serve the Enterprise sectors offering a suite of business solutions for corporates and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) powered by the PLDT network, including six data centers that offer co-location, server hosting/outsourcing, disaster recovery, connectivity and data scrubbing. These centers are telco-grade, carrier-neutral and vendor-agnostic with an aggregate rack capacity that is the largest in the country.

Consolidated corporate data and other network services were higher 14% at P5.3 billion, riding on the 12% growth in corporate data and a 26% jump in data center revenues,

“The upward momentum in the Enterprise segment continues, underpinned by revenues from data-rich business solutions, data center, as well as from emerging cloud and big data services,” addedNazareno.

Multimedia/Content

Cignal TV has established itself as the country’s premier and largest pay TV provider. It continues to lead the industry with over 938,000 subscribers at the end of the first half of 2015, a 24% growth versus the same period last year and maintaining its lead over the 20-year incumbent. Revenues grew 55% compared with the first half of 2014. In April
Exhibit 1

2015, Cignal signed up with Bloomberg TV to launch Bloomberg Television Philippines, which will become the first 24-hour business channel in late 2015. It is also adding more original channels and creating its own content via a partnership with Viva Productions.

Digital

The innovation teams at Voyager Innovations, Inc. (Voyager) and Smart e-Money, continue to churn out pioneering products in the digital space. Voyager generated consolidated revenues of over P500 million in the first six months of 2015 mainly from fintech/Smart Money, up by 21% from the same period last year.

Smart e-Money, for its part, continues to extend its reach. With a throughput of P83.7 billion in the first six months of 2015, it is the biggest domestic remittance platform in the Philippines. In addition, its payment gateway is being used by companies such as Zalora and Easy Taxi, with further launches in four Asian countries in the pipeline. It also recently entered into a partnership with Xoom, a leading digital money/remittance provided in the United States, for bills presentment.

On the e-commerce side, TackThis has a community of about 23,000 merchants who have registered for online store front services, while Takatak, an online centralized marketplace, already features over 295,000 products.

On the mobile financial solutions side,LockByMobile, an app which allows a mobile user to protect his credit card accounts from widespread fraud using one’s mobile phone, is under evaluation by a number of global financial service providers.

“Voyager will continue to generate a pipeline of possible “future winners”, including platforms, that could enhance PLDT’s value proposition,” statedOrlando B. Vea, Voyager President and CEO.

Conclusion

“The rapid decline in our toll revenues continues to bear down heavily on our medium-term revenue growth, with the onslaught of the Internet causing adverse substitution. The annualized impact of this decrease is P4 — P5.0 billion for the full year 2015 and toll traffic could reduce even faster in the coming months as smart phone penetration accelerates.

Notwithstanding this drag from our legacy businesses, we need to focus on enhancing our customers’ digital experience. This will involve build out of our 3G and 4G/LTE networks, enhancing network resiliency to ensure operational reliability, stability and quality of service, revamp of our service development platforms to handle more data-centric offers, and re-organization of our branding across the board with a view to positioning each brand better and optimizing the value of each brand.

Consequently, capex levels will remain elevated in 2015, and in 2016, at the least.

Exhibit 1

Our goal is to be nothing less than the consumer’s preferred digital services provider. And we will achieve this by offering the consumer a superior value proposition by continuously broadening the array of our products and service offers, including leveraging on fixed and wireless assets, underpinned by a network that will enable a quality customer experience. We are investing heavily in the “digital spine” for our networks and platforms that will serve as the foundation for this transformative process and we expect to see the benefits of these initiatives to fully manifest themselves by 2016 at the earliest,” concludedManuel V. Pangilinan, PLDT Chairman.
