Internet Gold’s Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
Internet Gold's revenues for the third quarter of 2012 were NIS 2,494
million ($ 638 million), a 15% decrease compared with NIS 2,917 million
($ 746 million) reported in the third quarter of 2011. For both the
current and the prior-year periods, Internet Gold's revenues consisted
entirely of its share of Bezeq’s revenues.
Internet Gold's net loss attributable to shareholders for the third
quarter totaled NIS 62 million ($ 16 million), compared to a net loss
attributable to shareholders of NIS 52 million ($ 13 million) reported
in the third quarter of 2011. This net loss reflects the impact of two
significant expenses:
Amortization of tangible and identifiable intangible assets
resulting from the Bezeq acquisition: According to the rules of
business combination accounting, the total purchase price of the Bezeq
acquisition was allocated to Bezeq’s tangible and identifiable
intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as determined
by an analysis performed by an independent valuation firm. The
company's subsidiary, B Communications is amortizing certain of the
acquired identifiable intangible assets in accordance with the
economic benefit expected from such assets using an accelerated method
of amortization.
During the third quarter of 2012, Internet
Gold's subsidiary, B Communications recorded amortization expenses
related to the Bezeq purchase price allocation (“Bezeq PPA”) of NIS
307 million ($ 78 million), net.From the Bezeq acquisition
date (April 14, 2010) until the end of the reporting quarter, B
Communications has amortized approximately 53% of the total Bezeq PPA.
It expects to amortize an additional 5% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
B
Communications' Bezeq PPA amortization expense is a non-cash expense
that is subject to adjustment. If, for any reason, the Company finds
it necessary or appropriate to make adjustments to amounts already
expensed, it may result in significant changes to future financial
statements.
Financial expenses: Internet Gold’s unconsolidated financial
expenses for the third quarter totaled NIS 17 million ($ 4 million).
These expenses consisted primarily of expenses related to the
Company’s debentures, which totaled NIS 25 million ($ 6 million) that
were offset by financial income of NIS 8 million ($ 2 million)
generated by our short term investments. The significant financial
expenses recorded in the third quarter were due primarily to high CPI
linkage expenses attributable to the 0.85% increase in the Israeli
CPI, to which the Company’s debt is linked.

Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Doron Turgeman, CEO of Internet Gold, said,
“The third quarter of 2012 was another stable period for Bezeq,
demonstrating the cash flow-generating power of its formidable position
in Israel’s telecommunications market. Despite current conditions in the
Israeli capital market, as a long-term communications player with loans
not burdened by share price-related covenants, our subsidiary B
Communications is able to manage its cash position entirely according to
plan, relying upon steady and visible cash flow to fulfill all loan
commitments while continuing to accelerate its repayments.”

EBITDA in this calculation refers to the trailing twelve months.
Revenues of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2012 amounted
to NIS 2.49 billion compared with NIS 2.92 billion in the corresponding
quarter of 2011, a decrease of 14.5%. Most of the decrease in the Bezeq
Group's revenues was due to lower revenues from the sale of cellular
handsets and the erosion of revenues from cellular services.
Operating profit of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2012
amounted to NIS 667 million, compared with NIS 944 million in the
corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 29.3%. Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the third
quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 1.03 billion (EBITDA margin of 41.1%),
compared with NIS 1.30 billion (EBITDA margin of 44.6%) in the
corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 21.1%. Net profit
attributable to Bezeq shareholders in the third quarter of 2012 amounted
to NIS 342 million compared with NIS 550 million in the corresponding
quarter of 2011, a decrease of 37.8%. The decrease in profitability
metrics was primarily due to a decrease in profitability in the cellular
segment as well as lower capital gains from real estate and copper sales
in the Fixed-line segment compared to the corresponding quarter of 2011.
Cash flow from operating activities in the third quarter of 2012
amounted to NIS 1.02 billion compared with NIS 882 million in the
corresponding quarter of 2011, an increase of 16.1% mainly due to
improved working capital in the cellular segment. Free cash flow
in the third quarter of 2012 amounted to NIS 754 million compared with
NIS 508 million in the corresponding quarter of 2011, an increase of
48.4%. The increase in free cash flow was due to an increase in cash
flow from operating activities as well as the completion of large
infrastructure projects initiated in prior years.
Gross capital expenditures (CAPEX), in the third quarter of 2012
amounted to NIS 346 million compared with NIS 437 million in the
corresponding quarter of 2011, a decrease of 20.8%. The Bezeq Group's
CAPEX to consolidated sales ratio in the third quarter of 2012 was
13.9%, compared with 15.0% in the corresponding quarter of 2011.
As of September 30, 2012, gross financial debt of the Bezeq Group
was NIS 8.94 billion, compared with NIS 9.61 billion as of September 30,
2011. The net financial debt of the Bezeq Group was NIS 7.19
billion compared with NIS 5.99 billion as of September 30, 2011. At the
end of September 2012, the Bezeq Group's net financial debt to EBITDA
ratio was 1.64, compared with 1.24 at the end of September 2011.
Notes:
A.
Convenience Translation to Dollars: For the convenience of
the reader, certain of the reported NIS figures of September 30,
2012 have been presented in millions of U.S. dollars, translated
at the representative rate of exchange as of September 30, 2012
(NIS 3.912 = U.S. Dollar 1.00). The U.S. dollar ($) amounts
presented should not be construed as representing amounts
receivable or payable in U.S. dollars or convertible into U.S.
dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
B.
Use of non-IFRS Measurements: We and the Bezeq Group’s
management regularly use supplemental non-IFRS financial measures
internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and
make operating decisions. We believe these non-IFRS financial
measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help
investors understand the Bezeq Group’s current and future
operating cash flow performance.
These non-IFRS financial measures may differ materially from the
non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies.
EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure generally defined as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Bezeq
Group defines EBITDA as net income before financial income
(expenses), net, impairment and other charges, expenses recorded for
stock compensation in accordance with IFRS 2, income tax expenses
and depreciation and amortization. We present the Bezeq Group’s
EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that
it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to
period and company to company by backing out potential differences
caused by variations in capital structure, tax positions (such as
the impact of changes in effective tax rates or net operating
losses) and the age of, and depreciation expenses associated with,
fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense).
EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
net income or other statement of operations or cash flow data
prepared in accordance with IFRS as a measure of profitability or
liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account our debt service
requirements and other commitments, including capital expenditures,
and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may
be available for discretionary uses. In addition, EBITDA, as
presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in
the way that these measures are calculated.
Reconciliation between the Bezeq Group’s results on an IFRS and
non-IFRS basis is provided in a table immediately following the
Bezeq Group's consolidated results. Non-IFRS financial measures
consist of IFRS financial measures adjusted to exclude amortization
of acquired intangible assets, as well as certain business
combination accounting entries. The purpose of such adjustments is
to give an indication of the Bezeq Group’s performance exclusive of
non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management
to be outside of its core operating results. The Bezeq Group’s
non-IFRS financial measures are not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures, and
should be read only in conjunction with its consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
