Corporate Information
CORPORATE OVERVIEW. America Movil is the largest wireless service provider in Latin America, and one
of the 10 largest in the world. The company consolidated the operations of Telmex and Telmex Internacional as of July 1, 2010.
Office
Lago Alberto 366, Colonia Anahuac, Mexico City,
Mexico 11529.
AMX's operating revenues consist primarily of mobile voice revenues, fixed voice revenues, mobile data
revenues, fixed data revenues, Pay TV revenues and other services. Other services include revenues from
selling handsets and other equipment, as well as other miscellaneous revenue.
Telephone
52 55 2581 4449.
Voice revenues include monthly subscription charges, airtime charges, charges for local and long-distance calls, and interconnection charges billed to other service providers for calls completed on AMX's
network. Revenues from monthly subscription charges are driven mainly by the number of subscribers and
the pricing of subscription packages. The primary driver of usage charges (airtime and interconnection
charges) is traffic, which, in turn, is driven by the number of customers and by their average usage. Postpaid wireless customers generally have an allotment of airtime each month for which they are not required
to pay usage charges.
Fax

Officers
Revenues from wireless and fixed data services primarily include revenues from value-added services,
corporate networks, data services and internet access service. Revenues from corporate networks mainly
consist of revenues from installing and leasing dedicated private lines, revenues from VPN services and
revenues from the sale of value-added services to these customers. Pay TV revenue consists primarily of
subscription charges, charges for additional programming and advertising revenue.

CORPORATE STRATEGY. With the consolidation of Telmex and Telmex Internacional, AMX plans to become an integrated telecommunications provider throughout South America. We believe the company will
continue to invest in next-generation broadband networks for fixed and mobile operations in order to continue expanding coverage.
Vice Chrmn
P. Slim Domit
PRIMARY BUSINESS DYNAMICS. Telcel, AMX's wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, serves the second
largest wireless market in Latin America. Telcel offers wireless voice and data services under a variety of
service plans to meet the needs of different user segments. The plans are either "postpaid," where the customer is billed monthly for the previous month and may terminate the plan at any time, or "prepaid," where
the customer pays in advance for a specified volume of use over a specified period. Although prepaid customers typically generate lower levels of usage and are often unwilling to make a fixed financial commitment or do not have the credit profile to purchase postpaid plans, we believe the prepaid market represents a large and growing market in Mexico because, compared to the average postpaid plan, prepaid
plans involve higher average per minute airtime charges, lower customer acquisition costs and billing expenses, and low credit or payment risk.
Rates for postpaid plans have not increased since April 1999 and rates for prepaid plans have not increased since 2002. Rates for both types of plans are expected to remain stable as long as the Mexican
economic environment remains stable. In addition, in recent periods Telcel has offered certain discounts
and promotions that reduce the effective rates that its postpaid and prepaid customers pay.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE. We believe the company faces intense competition in all of its markets, but in
Brazil, the largest wireless market in Latin America, we expect to see even greater competition. In Brazil,
the company's major competitors are Vivo, a joint venture of Telefonica and Portugal Telecom, Oi, and TIM
Brasil, a subsidiary of Telecom Italia. Oi recently purchased a small wireless provider as well as Brazil
Telecom, and we believe it will continue to build out its wireless operations in Brazil. In addition, we think
Telefonica has been getting aggressive in pricing and attracting new subscribers in Mexico.
FINANCIAL TRENDS. We believe AMX has sufficient operating cash flow and access to capital to meet its
working capital, capital expenditure and debt requirements. AMX's business is subject to a degree of seasonality, characterized by a higher number of new customers during the fourth quarter of each year. We
think this seasonality is mainly driven by the Christmas shopping season. Revenue also tends to decrease
during the months of August and September.
Each ADS represents 20 ordinary common shares.
