Our operating expenses increased by 4.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2012, to €293 million, as<br />

compared with €280 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in our operating expenses mainly<br />

reflects the increase in the cost of sales associated with our wholesale activities as well as our growing mobile business. In<br />

addition, the increased price pressures resulting from the higher CPI level have also impacted our operating expenses.<br />

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales principally consists of interconnection and backbone network costs for<br />

telecommunications services, internet connectivity costs, the cost of the cable modems we sell, fiber, circuit and duct renting<br />

expenses and programming fees for television programming services. Interconnection costs for telephony services are<br />

generated by calls made by our customers that terminate outside our network. Internet connectivity costs mainly consist of<br />

fees for the bandwidth used for our internet transit outside of Spain. Television programming fees consist primarily of fees<br />

paid to television content owners to distribute their television content and fees paid to distribute movies and soccer on a<br />

pay-per-view basis. Cost of sales increased by €13 million, or 16.9%, to €90 million in the first three months of 2012 from<br />

€77 million in the first three months of 2011. This increase was driven mainly by increased interconnection costs related to<br />

our increased wholesale activity as well as costs related with our growing mobile business (host, interconnection and<br />

equipment). As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales increased 2.3% to 23.5% in the three months ended March 31,<br />

2012 from 21.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2011.<br />

Staff Costs: Staff costs consist principally of expenses related to wages and salaries for our employees, employer’s<br />

social security contributions, other employee expenses and severance payments. Staff costs remained flat in €39 million in the<br />

first three months of 2012 compared to the first three months of 2011. In the first three months of 2012, the average number of<br />

our employees was 2,893 compared with 3,067 in the first three months of 2011.<br />

Other Operating Expenses: Other operating expenses consist principally of leases, local taxes, professional<br />

services, marketing and selling expenses, network operation and maintenance, information systems, administrative overheads,<br />

billing costs and impairments of trade receivables. Other operating expenses decreased by €3 million, or 3.5%, to €83 million<br />

in the first three months of 2012 from €86 million in the first three months of 2011. Cost control initiatives implemented in<br />

the organization have led to savings in other operating expenses.<br />

Work Carried Out By the Company for Its Assets: We capitalize direct labor costs associated with the<br />

development and construction of our network and installations carried out at our customer premises. Capitalized costs<br />

decreased by €2 million, or 11.8%, to €15 million in the first three months of 2012 from €17 million in the first three months<br />

of 2011.<br />

Depreciation & Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense is principally related to the depreciation of<br />

our network, customer premise equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with the addition of new subscribers,<br />

and to the amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization decreased by €1 million, or 1.1%, to €94 million in<br />

the first three months of 2012 from €95 million in the first three months of 2011.<br />

Operating Result<br />

We calculate operating result as revenues minus operating expenses. Operating result in the three months ended<br />

March 31, 2012 increased by €6 million, or 7.1%, to €90 million from €84 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.<br />

The increase in our revenues during the first three months of 2012 has led to the improvement in operating result. Our<br />

operating profit margin increased to 23.5% in the first three months of 2012 as compared to 23.1% in the first three months of<br />

2011, as result of the changes in revenues and operating expenses discussed above.<br />

Our net financial result is mainly comprised of interest expense from our financing, offset in part by interest income<br />

from cash balances and exchange gains in the current situation favorable to the Euro. Net financial result decreased by<br />

€7 million, or 10.8%, to €58 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 from €65 million incurred in the three months<br />

ended March 31, 2011 as a result of exchange rate gains.<br />
