NOTICE OF SIGNIFICANT EVENT

 

In compliance with article 82 of Spanish Securities Market Law 24/1988, and related provisions, and in order to make it public as the notification of a Significant Event, Telefonica, S.A. hereby informs that its subsidiary Telefonica Moviles, S.A., has presented in the Fourth Investors Conference, held in Barcelona on April the 25th and 26th, its business strategy and perspectives. The information provided contains estimates for the principal financial magnitudes for the period 2004-2008.

These estimates are the following:

TELEFONICA MOVILES GROUP

 

 

 

Reported 2004 under IFRS

(€ in Millions)

 

CAGR(*) 2004-2008

(%)

Revenues

11,743.7

 

12% - 16%

Operating Income before D&A

 

4,577.7

14% - 17%

 

Operating Income

3,054.7

15% - 19%

 

(*) CAGR stands for Compounded Annual Growth Rate.

 

The managed customer Base is estimated to reach over 125 million in 2008, compared to the 74.4 million reported in 2004. Also the Operating Cash Flow for the year 2008 is expected to double the Operating Cash Flow obtained in year 2004 (2,960 MM €).

The cumulative Operating Income before D&A for the period 2004-2008 is estimated to be over 32,500 MM €, with a cumulative CAPEX for the same period below 9,500 MM €, leading to a cumulative Operating Cash Flow for the same period over 23,000 MM €.

All projections refer to local currency, that is assuming constant exchange rates as of 2004, and exclude changes in consolidation, except the acquisition of BellSouth Chile and BellSouth Argentina in 2005.

In terms of guidance calculation, Operating Income before D&A and Operating Income exclude other exceptional revenues/expenses not foreseeable in 2005-2008. These exceptionals amounted to 102.2 MM € in 2004 and are therefore also excluded, meaning a calculation base for guidance of 4,677.9 MM € for Operating Income before D&A and 3,154.9 MM € for Operating Income, respectively. Personnel Restructuring and Real Estate Programs are included as operating revenues/expenses.
