Zacks
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Amer Movil (AMX). Shares have lost about 9.8% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500. But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Amer Movil due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts. America Movil reported net income per ADR of 47 cents for the second quarter of 2026, up from 38 cents in the prior-year quarter. The earnings figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents. Net income in the quarter was Mex$24,332 million, or Mex$ 0.40 per share, compared with Mex$22,282 million, or Mex$0.37 per share, in the year-ago quarter. The company's comprehensive financing cost was Mex$10,423 million, up 34.8% from the year-ago quarter’s Mex$7,729 million. Total quarterly revenues rose 3.1% to Mex$241,071 million, driven by rapid momentum across the Service and Equipment segments. Service revenues were Mex$205,919 million, up 3.4% year over year. Equipment revenues totaled Mex$33,433 million, rising 1.6%. America Movil gained 3.5 million postpaid subscribers in the second quarter. Brazil drove most of the postpaid growth with 1.5 million additions, followed by Colombia with 250 thousand, Peru with 191 thousand, Argentina with 154 thousand and Mexico with 101 thousand. However, the prepaid business saw 3.7 million net subscriber losses as it streamlined its customer base in Colombia and Argentina. On the fixed-line, Broadband and Television platforms, the company ended the quarter with 80.2 million revenue-generating units. The telco operates in multiple regions, namely Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Central America & the Caribbean, Austria & Eastern Europe and the Southern Cone. Argentina’s revenue increased 8.6% year over year to ARS 999,073 million, backed by a 9.3% rise in service revenue. Wireless service revenue growth accelerated to 12% on stronger postpaid and prepaid trends, while fixed-line service revenue slipped 1.5% amid competitive pressures and promotional campaigns.

Dolby's Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates on Lower Operating Expenses

Zacks
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. DLB reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings of 69 cents per share, down 11.5% year over year but above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 67 cents by 2.99%. Lower-than-expected operating expenses helped offset softer revenues and higher taxes. Revenues of $305 million fell 3.3% year over year and missed the consensus mark of $314 million by 2.79%. Licensing remained the core business at 93% of sales, while better-than-expected Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and imaging patent revenues were offset by deal timing and weaker foundational audio. In the past year, shares have lost 24.5% compared with the Zacks Audio Video Production industry’s decline of 5.1%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Licensing revenues declined 2.6% year over year to $282.35 million. Broadcast fell 4.2% to $106.58 million, mobile declined 9.4% to $51.01 million and PC decreased 15.6% to $28.34 million. Timing of minimum volume commitments and lower recoveries weighed on these areas. Consumer electronics increased 12.2% to $31.51 million, primarily on recoveries, while other licensing revenue rose 7.0% to $64.91 million. Dolby Cinema and Atmos adoption in automobiles supported licensing revenue, partly offset by lower gaming-console unit shipments and imaging-patent revenue. Products and services revenue fell 11.7% to $22.64 million because cinema-product sales declined. Meta joined the video distribution program covering Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, while Alibaba signed for video operations spanning e-commerce, entertainment and digital media. The patent pool had 45 licensors after roughly a year, and management said the growing roster is helping advance discussions with other large streamers. Dolby OptiView secured a multiyear agreement with Roberts Communications Network for ultra-low-latency horse-racing streams. Google certified OptiView Ads for its Ad Manager partner program. Dolby also announced partnerships with more than 40 carmakers, up from over 20 at fiscal 2025-end. Android Auto added Atmos support with partners including BMW, Genesis, Mahindra, Mercedes, Renault and Skoda. GAAP gross profit declined 2.5% to $264.68 million, but gross margin rose to 86.8% from 86.0% as cost of revenue fell faster than sales. Products and services gross margin improved to 22% from 13%.

GAAP gross profit declined 2.5% to $264.68 million, but gross margin rose to 86.8% from 86.0% as cost of revenue fell faster than sales. Products and services gross margin improved to 22% from 13%. Within services, lower Dolby Cinema warranty and maintenance costs supported margin performance. GAAP operating expenses increased 2.9% to $230.36 million. General and administrative expenses rose 4.5% to $75.59 million, mainly on litigation and patent-pool program costs, while a $3.96 million restructuring charge compared with a $0.55 million credit a year ago.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, Dolby expects revenues of $362-$392 million, licensing revenues of $335-$365 million and non-GAAP earnings of $1.13-$1.28 per share. Non-GAAP gross margin is forecast at about 90%, with operating expenses of $195-$205 million. The revenue-guidance midpoint implies 23% year-over-year growth. Management expects support from the video distribution program, including the Meta deal signed early in the fiscal fourth quarter, higher Dolby Atmos units in automobiles, new device categories such as wearables and the timing of minimum volume commitments. Dolby Laboratories price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Dolby Laboratories Quote For fiscal 2026, DLB projects revenues of $1.41-$1.44 billion, licensing revenues of $1.31-$1.34 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $4.25-$4.40 per share. Non-GAAP operating margin is expected near 34%, representing roughly 100 basis points of year-over-year improvement. Management expects other licensing revenue to rise in the high teens, driven by automobiles and the video distribution program. Broadcast and mobile are forecast to grow in the mid-single digits, consumer electronics should be roughly flat and PC is expected to decline in the low single digits. Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and imaging-patent revenues are projected to grow about 15%. The company generated approximately $167 million in quarterly operating cash flow and ended the period with $756 million in cash and investments. Dolby said its liquidity sources should be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Dolby repurchased 1.2 million shares for about $65 million and increased its buyback authorization by $350 million, leaving approximately $427 million available.

FTV Q2 Earnings Beat on Core Growth, Guidance Raised

Zacks
Fortive Corporation FTV reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 74 cents per share, which jumped 28.5% year over year and topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 71 cents by 4.2%. Revenues rose 7.9% year over year to $1.10 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $1.06 billion by 3.5%. Core revenues increased 6.7%, reflecting price and volume growth in both operating segments. However, Fortive’s shares are slightly down around 1.5% in the pre-market trading session today. The stock has gained 21.6% in the past six months compared with the Zacks Electronics - Testing Equipment industry's growth of 16%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Currency translation and portfolio changes added 1.2 percentage points to reported revenue growth. The remaining increase came from core operations, showing that the quarter's expansion was primarily organic. Management linked the performance to strong execution under the Fortive Accelerated strategy. The company cited early progress in innovation, commercial execution and recurring customer value, supported by the Fortive Business System. These initiatives are intended to increase new-product velocity and deepen recurring customer relationships. Intelligent Operating Solutions generated revenues of $758.2 million, up 8.8% year over year. Core revenues increased 7.4%, driven by professional instrumentation, Facilities and Asset Lifecycle solutions, and gas detection. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment rose 12.2% to $264.4 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 110 basis points (bps) to 34.9%, as gross profit growth, operating leverage and structural cost savings more than offset growth investments. Advanced Healthcare Solutions posted revenues of $338.6 million, up 6% from the prior-year quarter. Core growth was 5.3%, supported by demand for healthcare consumables, services and software, along with modest growth in capital equipment. Segment adjusted EBITDA increased 2.7% to $88.4 million. However, the adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 80 bps to 26.1%, as product mix and strategic growth investments weighed on profitability despite operating leverage and cost savings.

Fortive ended the quarter with $374.2 million in cash and equivalents, while net debt was $3.15 billion and net leverage was 2.4 times adjusted EBITDA. The cash profile supports continued deployment across the company's stated priorities. Fortive raised its full-year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to $2.95-$3.05 per share. The revision reflects solid first-half execution and management's confidence in the business trajectory. The company maintained that its medium-term financial framework remains intact. It continues to focus on faster profitable organic growth, disciplined capital allocation and building investor trust through clearer expectations and consistent delivery. The company deployed roughly $200 million toward share repurchases in the second quarter, buying about 3 million shares at an average price of $59.54. Repurchases over the past four quarters totaled approximately $2 billion, covering about 38 million shares, or roughly 11% of shares outstanding as of the second quarter of 2025. Fortive also completed the acquisition of UV Smart, a small bolt-on transaction aligned with its strategic growth priorities.

SAP Q2 Earnings Up Y/Y on Cloud Demand, Buyouts Impact Profit Outlook

Zacks
SAP SE SAP reported second-quarter 2026 non-IFRS earnings per share (EPS) of €1.59 ($1.85), which increased 6% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $2. Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, SAP reported total revenues on a non-IFRS basis of €9.9 billion ($11.5 billion), which increased 9% year over year (up 11% at constant currency or cc). The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $11.4 billion. AI strategy is becoming a major competitive advantage for SAP. Management emphasized its Autonomous Enterprise strategy, which combines Business AI with enterprise applications. SAP is embedding AI directly into finance, procurement, supply chain, HR and customer operations. The company's strategy revolves around two major pillars –Autonomous Suite and Business AI Platform. SAP believes customers increasingly value AI solutions that operate using trusted enterprise data while maintaining governance and compliance. This positioning gives SAP a competitive edge because its AI capabilities are built on decades of customer business processes and transactional data rather than disconnected AI models. As AI adoption expands across enterprises, SAP is well-positioned to monetize AI through higher cloud subscriptions rather than relying solely on standalone AI products. Current cloud backlog reached €22.9 billion in the quarter, representing 27% year-over-year growth (26% at cc). This metric is important because it reflects contracted future cloud revenue, giving investors visibility into future growth. On a non-IFRS basis, the Cloud and software segment (89.6% of total revenues) registered revenues of €8.9 billion, rising 11% year over year (up 13% at cc). Cloud revenue increased 22% year over year (24% at cc) to €6.3 billion, on a non-IFRS basis, demonstrating that enterprise customers continue to migrate mission-critical workloads to SAP's cloud ecosystem. SAP's Cloud ERP Suite, where revenue increased 25% (27% at cc) to €5.5 billion, is equally encouraging.

Major global brands across various industries, including AMADEUS, BBC, Booking.com, GOL, Oki Electric Industry, PwC, University Hospital Zurich and Vale, chose SAP's AI and data solutions. SAP SE price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | SAP SE Quote SAP secured significant customer wins across its solution portfolio, with new or expanded engagements from leading organizations such as Birlasoft, Capgemini, Haier Group and KaDeWe. Döhler, FANUC Europe, Fonterra, Natura Cosméticos, SABESP and TEAG went live on SAP solutions during the quarter. SAP’s cloud revenue growth was especially strong in the APJ and EMEA regions and robust in the Americas, with standout performances from Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, India, South Korea and Spain. It remained strong in the United States, Australia and Singapore. Non-IFRS gross profit of €7.3 billion increased 9% from the year-ago quarter (up 11% at cc). Non-IFRS cloud gross profit increased 22% year over year to €4.7 billion (up 23% at cc). Non-IFRS cloud gross margin fell 0.6 percentage points to 74.6%. SAP's non-IFRS operating profit rose 7% (up 9% at cc) to €2.7 billion, while margin decreased to 27.8%. As of June 30, 2026, SAP had cash and cash equivalents of €11.6 billion compared with €10.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. In the second quarter, the company generated operating cash of €3.2 billion, up 22% year over year. Free cash flow, a key metric of operational strength, rose 27% to €3 billion during the quarter. SAP also continues returning capital to shareholders. Its newly authorized €10 billion share repurchase program remains active. As of June 30, the company had repurchased more than 16.28 million shares and spent approximately €2.6 billion. The company lowered its non-IFRS operating profit outlook from €11.9–€12.3 billion to €11.8–€12.2 billion. The revision stems almost entirely from the acquisitions of Dremio and Prior Labs, which closed in July. Management expects these acquisitions to create a dilutive impact exceeding €100 million during 2026. Despite lowering operating profit guidance slightly, SAP maintained nearly all of its major financial targets. Management still expects cloud revenue between €25.8 billion and €26.2 billion, cloud and software revenue between €36.3 billion and €36.8 billion and approximately €10 billion in free cash flow. Additionally, SAP expects cloud backlog growth to remain strong, though slightly slower, total revenue growth to match 2025 levels, revenue acceleration in 2027 and operating expense growth to remain below revenue growth. Nonetheless, the company acknowledged that its outlook assumes a near-term de-escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Any prolonged conflict could negatively impact enterprise spending or business operations. SAP currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

Iridium Q2 Earnings Lag, Sales Up Y/Y, Rocket Lab Acquisition in Focus

Zacks
Iridium Communications IRDM reported earnings per share (EPS) of 9 cents for the second quarter of 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents. The bottom line also compared unfavorably with the prior-year quarter's figure of 20 cents. Management attributed most of the decline to transaction costs related to the pending Rocket Lab Corporation RKLB acquisition and higher cash-based employee incentive compensation. Iridium reported second-quarter revenue of $225.2 million, representing 4% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark was pinned at $221.2 million. The biggest headline remains Rocket Lab's planned acquisition of Iridium. Rather than operating independently, Iridium will become part of a vertically integrated space company spanning satellite manufacturing, launch services, space systems, global communicationsand government space infrastructure. For Iridium, Rocket Lab provides direct access to satellite manufacturing expertise, launch capacity and potentially lower deployment costs for future constellation upgrades. Management believes this integration will accelerate innovation while improving operational efficiency over time. Iridium Communications Inc price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Iridium Communications Inc Quote The most compelling aspect of the quarter is Iridium's progress across four major growth initiatives, which is likely to open new market avenues. Iridium introduced the Iridium 9604 tri-mode communication module, combining satellite connectivity, LTE-M cellular and GNSS positioning. This integrated approach simplifies hardware development while lowering deployment costs for enterprise customers. Later this year, IRDM also plans to launch Iridium NTN Direct, enabling standards-based direct-to-device satellite connectivity. The recent commercial launch of Iridium's PNT ASIC significantly expands opportunities beyond communications. If adoption accelerates, Assured PNT could evolve into an entirely new recurring revenue platform. Iridium continues to strengthen its role within the U.S. defense infrastructure. Its work supporting the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture demonstrates that Iridium is becoming an increasingly strategic technology partner rather than simply a communications provider.

Iridium Communications Inc price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Iridium Communications Inc Quote The most compelling aspect of the quarter is Iridium's progress across four major growth initiatives, which is likely to open new market avenues. Iridium introduced the Iridium 9604 tri-mode communication module, combining satellite connectivity, LTE-M cellular and GNSS positioning. This integrated approach simplifies hardware development while lowering deployment costs for enterprise customers. Later this year, IRDM also plans to launch Iridium NTN Direct, enabling standards-based direct-to-device satellite connectivity. The recent commercial launch of Iridium's PNT ASIC significantly expands opportunities beyond communications. If adoption accelerates, Assured PNT could evolve into an entirely new recurring revenue platform. Iridium continues to strengthen its role within the U.S. defense infrastructure. Its work supporting the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture demonstrates that Iridium is becoming an increasingly strategic technology partner rather than simply a communications provider. As defense spending shifts toward space-based infrastructure, this business could generate substantial long-term opportunities. The major strategic move was completing the acquisition of Aireon LLC, operator of the world's only space-based ADS-B aircraft surveillance network. Management expects the acquisition to contribute approximately $100 million in annual service revenue and $30 million in annual OEBITDA. Total Service revenues rose 4% year over year to $161.3 million. Service revenues contributed 72% to total revenues in the second quarter. Our estimate for the metric was $159.9 million. Commercial services generated $133.7 million, representing 59% of total company revenue. Several business verticals contributed. Commercial IoT revenue increased 5%, hosted payload and data services rose 14% and voice and traditional data services grew 3%. Government services continue providing stability. Revenue from U.S. government customers increased 3% to $27.6 million, primarily due to contractual pricing increases under the Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) contract. The U.S. government remains Iridium's largest customer and represents nearly all engineering and support services revenue. Importantly, management expects renewal of the EMSS contract by March 2027. Given the increasing geopolitical tensions and growing military reliance on resilient satellite communications, this business should remain a dependable source of recurring revenue. Subscriber Equipment sales increased 7% to $20.8 million. We projected the figure to be $18.2 million. Engineering and support revenues jumped 3% to $43.1 million, led by Iridium’s expanding work with the Space Development Agency, reinforcing its emphasis on growth driven by national security programs. Our estimate was $42 million. Total operating expenses were $191.2 million compared with $166.6 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. OEBITDA remained relatively stable at $119.1 million, only slightly below last-year quarter’s $121.3 million. The decline was largely due to a change in compensation structure, shifting to fully cash-based incentives. This added about $3.9 million in expenses for the quarter. Operating income came in at $34 million compared with $50.3 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The company ended the quarter with 2,627,000 billable subscribers, a 6% increase from the previous-year quarter. Commercial IoT remained the primary growth engine as enterprises continue deploying connected sensors and remote monitoring systems across industries such as logistics, agriculture, energy and environmental monitoring. The continued growth of commercial IoT subscribers, which increased 9%, is encouraging. Iridium continues investing aggressively. Capital expenditures totaled $21.8 million during the quarter. Following the Aireon acquisition, debt increased as expected, with gross debt reaching approximately $1.8 billion and cash balance of $184.2 million. As part of its capital return program, Iridium paid a second-quarter dividend of 15 cents per share on June 30, 2026, distributing $16.2 million to shareholders. Iridium currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. AMX reported net income per ADR of 47 cents for the second quarter of 2026, up from 38 cents in the prior-year quarter. The earnings figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents. Total quarterly revenues rose 3.1% to Mex$241,071 million, driven by rapid momentum across the Service and Equipment segments. BlackBerry Limited BB reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of 4 cents. The figure beat the company’s estimate of 2-3 cents. In the year-ago quarter, it reported a non-GAAP EPS of 2 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at 3 cents per share. BlackBerry generated $152.9 million in fiscal first-quarter revenue, representing 26% year-over-year growth. Ericsson ERIC reported second-quarter 2026 results, wherein earnings met the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues missed the same. Adjusted earnings were SEK 1.22 (13 cents) per share, in line with the consensus estimate. Revenues were SEK 52.7 billion ($5.62 billion), down 6% year over year and 2.56% below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.77 billion. Organic sales declined 1% year over year primarily due to lower IPR licensing revenues following a non-recurring benefit in the prior-year quarter.

A: The Brazilian market has become more promotional, especially in prepaid and postpaid segments. While Claro Flex trends remain stable, promotions have intensified. We anticipate a recovery in the third and fourth quarters, but if competitors remain aggressive, we may need to adjust our strategies accordingly. On the fixed side, revenue growth is strong, supported by our robust network and customer care investments. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO Q: What factors are driving the strong prepaid performance in Mexico despite mixed economic signals? A: The Mexican economy is recovering, and our prepaid customers are recharging more frequently and with higher amounts. Our extensive 5G network and increased coverage are attracting more subscribers. Additionally, our prepaid base is consistently active, contributing to revenue growth. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO and Carlos Jose Garcia Moreno Elizondo, CFO Q: How is the World Cup impacting Mexico's mobile revenue growth, and what is the status of mobile registration? A: The World Cup had a minor impact, with increased roaming and data usage during the event. Regarding mobile registration, it primarily affects prepaid subscribers, with a phased registration process starting in August. Postpaid customers are already registered. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO Q: Can you explain the increase in other financial expenses and the impact of Nucell on your financials? A: The rise in financial expenses is partly due to a fine related to past regulatory issues and currency hedging activities. Regarding Nucell, its subscribers are included in our base, and revenue is shared between Claro and Nucell. - Carlos Jose Garcia Moreno Elizondo, CFO and Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO Q: With the current US dollar weakness, do you foresee any changes to your CapEx guidance or capital allocation strategy? A: The weak dollar increases our CapEx in dollar terms, but we remain committed to our MXN7 billion target. We prioritize maintaining our leverage ratio and are open to acquisitions that complement our existing operations, like the recent WOW acquisition in Peru. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO and Carlos Jose Garcia Moreno Elizondo, CFO Q: What is your M&A strategy in Europe, and are you considering any divestments, such as your stake in Verizon? A: We focus on acquiring companies that enhance our fiber network and customer base, like Desktop and WOW. We are not actively pursuing divestments, including our Verizon stake, unless favorable conditions arise. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO Q: How do you view the regulatory fine on Telmex, and what are the implications for future regulatory actions? A: The fine, related to alleged violations from 2017, is considered disproportionate. We hope there won't be similar fines in the future, as we believe this one was unjustified. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO Q: Can you provide insights into the strong performance in Colombia and your outlook for Argentina? A: In Colombia, we are experiencing robust growth in mobile and corporate segments, driven by our 5G network and customer service. In Argentina, despite competitive challenges, we continue to expand our fiber and broadband offerings. - Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, CEO and Carlos Jose Garcia Moreno Elizondo, CFO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Pay TV added 110,000 units, mainly from Argentina, Eastern Europe and Central America. Management said mobile postpaid and fixed broadband remained the main sources of customer growth, rising 9.1% and 6.1%, respectively, from the year-earlier quarter. → AI Data Centers Need Power, and These 2 Industrials Are Cashing In Mobile service revenue grew 6.5%, continuing its recent pace. Postpaid revenue expanded 7.2%, while prepaid revenue growth accelerated to 5.3% from 3.1% a year earlier. Fixed-line service revenue growth improved to 2.7% from 1.7% in the prior quarter, with García Moreno saying the downward trend in fixed-line growth had ended. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Hajj said Brazil’s mobile market had become more promotional, particularly in prepaid and postpaid. He said competitors TIM and Vivo had been more aggressive since May, requiring América Móvil’s Claro business to respond. “If promotions and our competitors are more aggressive, we need to be a little bit more aggressive,” Hajj said. He added that the company remained a net gainer in postpaid mobile portability and expected some recovery in mobile growth in the third quarter and more so in the fourth quarter, though he said the path would depend on competitors’ actions. Hajj said Brazil’s fixed-line business was performing better, with revenue growth improving from 1.5% a year ago to 4.1% in the latest quarter. He cited the company’s network, 5G investments, customer care, net promoter score and convergence strategy as strengths. He also said management was watching signs of a possible economic slowdown in Brazil. In Mexico, management said prepaid revenue growth had continued to accelerate as customers recharged more frequently and at higher amounts. Hajj said customers who previously bought MXN 50 prepaid cards were increasingly buying MXN 80 or MXN 100 recharges, while data usage continued to rise. Hajj also highlighted the company’s 5G network in Mexico, saying it was helping both prepaid and postpaid performance. He said about half of renewing postpaid customers were upgrading their plans, which was supporting postpaid revenue growth. Asked about the World Cup’s impact on Mexican mobile revenue, Hajj said the event helped “a little bit” through roaming and increased usage, but he did not describe it as a major driver because Mexico hosted only a limited number of games and the impact was concentrated in part of June. On Mexico’s mobile registration process, Hajj said postpaid customers were already registered and that the remaining process applies to prepaid subscribers. He said the new registration schedule begins Aug. 15 and runs to late November or early December, with registration dates depending on the final digit of a customer’s phone number. Since January, all new customers have been required to register. Hajj said Colombia continued to perform strongly, with mobile revenue growth moving from 7% to 7.6% and then to 10%. He said América Móvil was the first to launch 5G in Colombia and was benefiting from network quality, portability gains and customers moving to higher plans. He added that the company was also expanding fiber and seeing growth in the corporate segment. In Argentina, Hajj said the company expects to compete against a larger rival but will continue investing in fiber, broadband, TV and 5G while maintaining competitive pricing. Management also highlighted Peru, where Hajj said fixed-side growth was about 12%, calling it “incredible.” He said Peru offered opportunities in broadband, corporate services and small businesses. For the first half of 2026, América Móvil reported MXN 48 billion in capital expenditures, MXN 4.6 billion in share buybacks and MXN 8.4 billion related to labor obligations, all covered by cash flow. García Moreno said net debt, excluding capitalized lease obligations, totaled MXN 402 billion at the end of June, representing 1.31 times last-12-month EBITDA after leases. Hajj said the company remains on track for about $7 billion in full-year capital expenditures. García Moreno reiterated that management seeks to keep leverage between 1.2 times and 1.5 times net debt to EBITDA, while accounting for expected transactions such as the Desktop acquisition, which the company expects could close this year. Hajj also discussed the recently announced WOW acquisition in Peru, describing it as a strategic fit that adds fiber, more than 3 million homes passed and about 500,000 customers. He said the network is outside Lima and complements América Móvil’s footprint, with potential synergies in broadband, mobile, TV, corporate and small-business services. More broadly, Hajj said the company is looking for acquisitions within existing countries that add fiber customers and help consolidate markets, rather than expansion into new countries. He said capital allocation will continue to balance acquisitions, shareholder returns and debt reduction. Management also addressed a MXN 1.3 billion regulatory fine related to Telnor, an affiliate of Telmex. García Moreno said the matter dates back to 2017 and involved an alleged violation of asymmetric measures, with the fine imposed in 2020 and becoming final in June. He called the fine “disproportional” and said the company does not expect more such fines, though he added, “Let’s see.” América Móvil is a Mexican telecommunications company headquartered in Mexico City that provides a broad range of communications services. Established in the early 2000s out of the expansion of the Slim family's telecommunications holdings, the company is a major provider of mobile and fixed-line telephony, broadband internet and pay-television services in the region. Its operations span retail consumer services as well as wholesale and enterprise solutions, positioning it as an integrated communications provider across multiple customer segments.

Operator

Good morning. My name is Caleb, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the América Móvil Second Quarter 2026 Conference Call and Webcast. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, press the star one again. Thank you. I will now turn the call over to Ms. Daniela Lecuona, Head of Investor Relations.

Daniela Lecuona

Hi. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to discuss our second quarter 2026 financial and operating results. We have on the line Mr. Daniel Hajj, CEO, Mr. Carlos García Moreno, CFO, also Mr. Oscar Von Hauske, COO.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you, Daniela. Welcome everyone to América Móvil second quarter of 2026 financial and operating report. Carlos is going to give us a summary of the results.

Carlos García Moreno

Thank you, Daniel. Good morning, everyone. Well, we can see that throughout the second quarter, with the Iran war raging, oil prices remained elevated, peaking mid-May at a price roughly 70% higher than prior to the war. This brought about greater concerns regarding inflation worldwide and the expectation, and in some cases, the reality of higher interest rates, including those at the long end of the yield curve. The 30-year U.S. Treasury notes reached their highest yield in nearly 20 years. However, in spite of a supporting dollar rate, the U.S. dollar did not grow stronger against most currencies in our region of operations this second quarter. In fact, actually depreciated 6% versus the Colombian peso. In the second quarter, we added 3.5 million postpaid subscribers, with Brazil leading the way with 1.5 million subscribers.

Carlos García Moreno

Colombia followed with 250,000, Peru with 173,000, Argentina with 154,000, and Mexico with 101,000 postpaid subscribers. In the prepaid segment, we raised 3 million net losses as Colombia and Argentina cleaned up the base. In the fixed-line segment, we connected 531,000 new broadband accesses. Mexico was the main contributor with 170,000 accesses, followed by Brazil with 83,000 and Colombia with 74,000. As regards Pay TV, we added 110,000 units, with most of them coming from Argentina, Eastern Europe, and Central America. Mobile postpaid and fixed broadband accesses remain the main drivers of growth of our customer base, increasing at an even faster pace, 9.1% and 6.1% respectively, compared with the year earlier quarter. Second quarter revenue was up 3.1% year-on-year in MXN terms to MXN 241 billion. Our service revenue increased 3.4% and EBITDA 3.8%.

Carlos García Moreno

Compared to a year-earlier quarter, the Mexican peso appreciated significantly versus the USD and the EUR at 12% and 9% respectively. While remaining flat versus the BRL and depreciating 3% versus the COP. At constant exchange rates, service revenue was up 5.1%, while EBITDA increased 5.3%. It would have increased 6.7% absent a one-off charge in Mexico. Mobile service revenue maintained the pace it has observed over several quarters, 6.5%, while fixed-line service revenue accelerated to 2.7% from 1.7% the prior quarter, with the downward trend in fixed-line growth coming to an end. On the mobile platform, postpaid revenue expanded 7.2% as in the preceding quarter, with prepaid revenue growth continuing to accelerate to 5.3%, up from 3.1% a year ago.

Carlos García Moreno

Mexico, Colombia, Central America, and Eastern European blocks were the best performers in terms of improved mobile service revenue growth. Regarding fixed-line service revenue in the residential segment, both broadband and Pay TV revenue growth somewhat more rapidly than in the preceding quarter, 4.2%-5.4%, up from 3.1%-4.6% respectively. B2B revenue growth remained stable at 4.0%. Mobile, Peru, and Central America all contributed to the improvement in broadband revenue growth. As for the recovery in the Pay TV segment, Brazil was the top performer, moving up from a 4.7% pace to 7.5% pace. Operating profit totaled MXN 51.8 billion and was up 9.5% in MXN terms. Our comprehensive financing cost rose to MXN 10.4 billion, reflecting lower foreign exchange gains that more than offset lower net interest costs.

Carlos García Moreno

Our net income totaled MXN 24 billion, a 9.2% increase from the year-earlier quarter. It was equivalent to MXN 0.40 per share and $0.47 per ADR. Throughout the first half of the year, our capital expenditures amounted to MXN 48 billion, our share buybacks to MXN 4.6 billion, and the service of our labor obligations to MXN 8.4 billion. These were all covered by our cash flow, which together with net dividend income of MXN 1.1 billion, allow us to reduce our net debt in cash flow terms by MXN 3.9 billion. You can see in this slide. Excluding capitalized lease obligations, net debt totaled MXN 402 billion at the end of June, which represented 1.31 times last 12 months EBITDA after leases. With that, I will conclude this presentation and will pass the floor back to Daniel.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you, Carlos, and we can start with the Q&A.

Operator

At this time, I would like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Leonardo Olmos, UBS. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Leonardo Olmos

Hi, everyone. Good morning. Thank you for taking the question and congrats on the numbers. We love the leveraging we saw. My question would be regarding competition in Brazil. You mentioned a more competitive and promotional environment in Brazil. Which segments are most concerned? How does these entry-level hybrid plans, such as Claro Flex, fit in these scenarios? I'm asking specifically about the new around BRL 30 per month, low-end hybrid plans that all the three mobile carriers launched. Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you, Leonardo. We're talking a little bit about Brazil. I think in Brazil, we have a lot of things. The first is, well, if you see one year ago, second quarter, the growth was very high. The comparative between second quarter last year and second quarter this year is a little bit difficult because second quarter of last year, the growth was higher than it used to be in the other quarters. It's a difficult comparison between quarters. Okay? That's one of the things. The second, no doubt that the market has been more promotional. Where we are seeing more promotions are in prepaid and in postpaid. What you told about the Claro Flex, I don't think there's any change on the trends on Claro Flex, postpaid, prepaid. I think everybody's more or less seeing the same trends.

Daniel Hajj

We are not selling more cheap postpaid or more cheap prepaid. We are seeing the same trends. The only thing is that promotions are becoming a little bit more strong. I still think that we're going to have a recovery in second, but in third, but more in the fourth quarter. We're going to see again a little bit more growth in mobile. If promotions and our competitors are more aggressive, we need to be a little bit more aggressive. I'm not sure what is going to happen in the next months. Maybe the promotions are not so aggressive. We don't know. It depends a lot. We're following them. Since May TIM and Vivo has becoming more aggressive, we have to follow, and we're going to follow that. That is what is happening.

Daniel Hajj

In the other side, in the fixed side, we are being and growing revenues. We are growing revenues from, let's say we have in Brazil, I can tell you, we start with one year ago, 1.5% growth, then 1.8, then 2.6, and today 4.1. In fixed, things are going better and things are looking stronger. At the end of the day, we have a very strong network. We are doing very good in 5G. We are investing in customer care. We have a very good NPS. We are doing convergence. If the market is aggressive for this moment, we're going to be a little bit more aggressive. In the future, if things are going the other way and less promotions, we're going to see better revenue. We are still gaining in mobile portability.

Daniel Hajj

We are the gainers in postpaid in mobile portability. All overall, we are looking Brazil good. The other thing important that you can see is that we think, and we're feeling a little bit a slowdown in the economy. That's also one of the things that we're looking how, why revenues are decreasing a little bit because the economy, we see a little bit of a slowdown. It's too early to see. Let's see what's happening in the next months, we can find if the economy, the trend is going slow or it's going to stay the way it is. That's more or less what we have in Brazil, Leonardo.

Leonardo Olmos

Makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much, Daniel.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.

Operator

Your next call comes from the line of Marcelo Santos, JPMorgan. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Marcelo Santos

Hi, good morning. Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. I wanted to ask about Mexican prepaid performance. The revenue growth we are seeing there has been accelerating every quarter for many quarters already. Usually, you discuss this in the light of improving Mexican economy, but what we hear from consumer companies, it's kind of not such a great story on the consumption side, yet your performance is good. What kind of initiatives have you been putting forward? What is happening in the competitive environment from inside or outside of América Móvil that's helping you to deliver these results? Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Well, as you said, we think that the economy at the beginning, when we were almost flat in prepaid and were growing maybe 1% in prepaid, was maybe two years ago, when we think that the economy was in a slowdown period. Right now, I think the economy is going back and our prepaid customers are consuming, are recharging more, and are charging higher prepaid cards, okay? Instead of charging MXN 50, they are charging MXN 80 or MXN 100. People are starting to use more and more. 5G in Mexico, really we're the only ones that have a very good 5G network, and that's also helping us a lot. The other side, we have a little bit more coverage, so we're gaining some good subscribers that we didn't have.

Daniel Hajj

We're starting to do a little bit more coverage in some places. Overall, we have a very good base on prepaid. Difficult to say, we have a lot of our prepaid customers are consuming. We don't have a base that some of them are consuming, or they are maybe one month consuming and two months not. All these customers every month are charging and using more data. Those are the things that are helping a lot on the prepaid side. Our base of people who is recharging is growing, and that's very good for us.

Marcelo Santos

Perfect. Thank you very much.

Carlos García Moreno

Just a small detail on the economy. As Daniel points out, I think that the economy is on a recovery path. It is coming back. I think at this stage, it's very uneven, it's not affecting all the sectors the same way. I'll give you the two reference points. As of June, we have registered the highest ever volume of sales of automobiles. Highest ever. The growth of the automobile sales are almost identical to our prepaid revenues. The growth of the prepaid revenues. Just to put it in perspective. Another reference point is if you look at other services like restaurants, they are booming. All sorts of restaurants, high-end, low-end, all of them are booming. It's a little bit uneven. You have some sectors that are doing particularly well, some other sectors that are still not recovering.

Marcelo Santos

Okay. Pretty interesting. Thank you.

Carlos García Moreno

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Phani Kanumuri, HSBC. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Phani Kanumuri

Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions. My first question is on Mexico mobile revenue growth. It has registered a very strong growth. I'm wondering if it had any positive impact from the World Cup that is happening in Mexico. Are you seeing higher roaming revenues? Have you seen higher growth in June compared to other months? The second question is also on Mexico. How is the progress happening on the mobile registration, what % of customers have already been registered on this front? Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

The first one, I think the World Cup impacts a little bit. I don't think it's too much. The World Cup was not only in Mexico, we have only seven games, something like that. There's people coming. We see more roaming here in Mexico, more people using. It's not only the roaming, since people are using more, it's looking. We have a very good 5G network, they are looking the games in the iPad, in the phone. That will have a little bit more consume. That will be only two weeks in June, it's not too much. What we are seeing is that a lot of our customers who are coming back to our store and want to renovate, they are renovating. I can tell you that maybe half of our subscribers are upgrading their plan. That's very important.

Daniel Hajj

They want to have a better plan. They want to use more. They're using more the concept. That is what is giving us on postpaid a very good growth. A lot of our customers are moving to a higher plan. That's what you could see. The market is very competitive. We have a lot of competition in the market. As I said, we are the only really 5G network, very good network all around Latin America. We're working a lot on quality, we're working a lot on speed, customer care. We're trying to give our customers the best service, and that is making us to grow that. In the registration, well, from now on, what we said is that there's going to be new dates for the registration.

Daniel Hajj

The dates are going to depend on the end of your number is where you need to be registered. It's going to be only the prepaid subscribers. The postpaid are already in. They don't need to register the postpaid subscribers. I don't know exactly the number on the industry, but there's still a lot to do on that. Every 15 days, every month, there's going to be a new number, and then you have to register your prepaid number. That's what it is. It starts in 15th of August and ends on, I think, end of November or beginning of December. That's what the authorities are saying, and that's what the people need to do in prepaid. They need to register. Since January, all the people, all the new customers that all of the companies have to be registered.

Daniel Hajj

Since that, all of them have to be registered, and this is only for the actual customers that need to register their numbers. That's where we are, and we hope that all of them will register.

Phani Kanumuri

Yeah. Thanks for the responses, everyone.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Rogerio Araujo, Bank of America. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Rogerio Araujo

Hi, everyone. Thanks for the opportunity. I have a couple of questions. The first one on the line, other financial expenses, it rose to roughly MXN 6.9 billion in the quarter. This was a 40% increase year-over-year. Could you please break down what drove that increase? Specifically, how much of this relates to cash outflows tied to your labor obligations and pension funds? We saw this was nearly MXN 6.9 billion in the quarter as well. Also looking forward, what level of annual pension-related cash outflow should we model given the maturity of the Telmex plan? This is the first one. The second on NuCel. Could you gently walk us through how it's reflected in your accounting and KPIs? Specifically, are NuCel's users counted within your reported subscriber base and net adds?

Rogerio Araujo

We think so, but if you could confirm. Also, how is the economics recognized? In full revenue or only Claro's revenue share? We can have an idea on how this impacts ARPU. Finally, how should we think about the associated network commercial costs and margin profile of NuCel in our results? Thank you so much.

Carlos García Moreno

Sure. Thank you, Rogerio. On the first question, on all the financial expenses, basically, what we are reflecting is partly a little bit of the elements of the fine that was mentioned a while ago. Because as the first ruling was some years ago, part of the fine ended up being a financial expense. It was a financial penalty that were accrued since the initial ruling. Okay? The other part that is important, another expense generally, and this you will see it all the time, is that that's why we have the currency hedging transactions, among other things. Typically, when you are gaining on FX, to the extent that those gains had already been hedged, you are giving back part on your expenses. It works on opposite directions both cases. Okay?

Carlos García Moreno

That's part of it. It's part the fine and part your expense. It's nothing to do with the pensions. The pensions are accrued, an accounting visit. What we are showing here is an accrual basis. It's not on a cash flow basis. Okay? The actual business, there's no change.

Daniel Hajj

On NuCel, there's two types of MVNOs in Brazil. One, we call them acreditados, and the other one's authorized MVNOs. NuCel is the ones that are acreditados, that they work like a commercial agent. Those customers count as our base. We count them as in our base in Claro. That's the way we count. All the NuCel subscribers are inside Claro customers.

Rogerio Araujo

Okay, perfect. The revenue is the full revenue charged by NuCel? That enters as your revenue.

Daniel Hajj

No, the revenue is the part that is including in us. That's our revenue, and the rest is NuCel revenue. We divide that. That's where we have. NuCel has been working maybe for one year or more.

Rogerio Araujo

More. Okay. Fair enough. Very clear. Thank you so much.

Carlos García Moreno

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Emilio Fuentes, GBM. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Emilio Fuentes

Hi, thank you for taking my question. My question is regarding capital allocation. I was wondering, given the current weakness we've seen in the US dollar and how this could benefit your investment needs, do you see any downside risk to your full-year CapEx guidance? If so, and given you're currently standing the lower end of your leverage ratio, do you see incremental free cash flow as being destined for share buybacks? Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

The weak dollar, it's difficult for us in CapEx because for the same things that you do, it's going to be more dollars. We need, say, on dollars, it's more dollars for the same budget that we have. In terms of the CapEx, it's not helping. In terms of revenues, it's helping. That's where we are, and we're deciding what to do. In CapEx, it's a little bit more so. We are in the target that we have, $7 billion, and it's what, $7 billion, a little bit more, a little bit less, but we are in that target and we're not gonna move on that.

Carlos García Moreno

On the second question, can you repeat it, please?

Daniel Hajj

Leverage.

Carlos García Moreno

On the leverage, you say.

Emilio Fuentes

Do you see any?

Carlos García Moreno

No, I think what.

Emilio Fuentes

Do you see any incremental free cash flow? Yeah. If you see any incremental cash flow going for buybacks.

Carlos García Moreno

No, I think what we have said consistently is, we first determine what our leverage ratio is meant to be. Okay? We need to look at our leverage ratio, considering the expenses that we are already committed to make, which will include the purchase of Desktop, which likely is going to close this year. Okay? That's our expectation in any case. Okay, we basically manage to stay within the range that we have said. It's not more than 1.5 times net debt to EBITDA, not less than 1.2 times net debt to EBITDA. That you can see that we have some limits in terms of how much we can reduce our leverage at this point.

Daniel Hajj

Also adding another thing that we just announced yesterday, the WOW acquisition that we have, I think makes a lot of sense for us in Peru. It's some more fiber, more than 3 million houses passes with fiber, 0.5 million customers, and make a lot of synergy with us. We're open to see more of those acquisitions. They are good for us. They are broadband customers that we can sell prepaid, postpaid, or TV also. This network is outside of Lima, and it's a good complement for us. Help us also, the fiber to do corporate customers that we're growing and doing very good there.

Oscar Von Hauske

Small businesses.

Daniel Hajj

Small businesses, as Oscar is saying. We are also looking for other good acquisitions that we can have. Next question.

Operator

Just a reminder to everyone, if you would like to ask a question, press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. Our next question comes from the line of Ernesto Gonzalez, Morgan Stanley. Oh, excuse me. Our next question comes from the line of Carlos Sequeira, BTG Pactual. Go ahead.

Carlos Sequeira

Hi. Hey, how are you? Hope all is well. I have one question, please, and it's related to M&A strategy in Europe. If you can let us know what you are looking at, what makes sense for AMX at this point when we look to Europe, please. Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

We are open to see everything, but what we're really looking is this type of companies like Desktop, like WOW, that add fiber customers, that add the fiber complement to our fiber network, that we can sell more things to those customers, like prepaid, postpaid. As I said also, the fiber will be in the small and medium companies, have a lot of synergies. I think we can have a lot of synergies with this company. Those are the companies that we're looking. We are not looking to go outside right now to other countries, but we are looking things inside our country that will make us grow a little bit faster and consolidate the market. Consolidation of the market will be important.

Carlos Sequeira

Perfect. Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Ernesto González, Morgan Stanley. Your line is open. You may go ahead.

Ernesto González

Hi, thank you for taking our question and congratulations on the results. It's two questions. The first one is on Colombia. You delivered really strong results consistent with past quarters. Could you talk about how you see this market evolving, especially now that some time has passed since the acquisition of Telefónica closed? The second question is on Argentina. Given the recent competition authorities resolution on potential consolidation in the market, does it change how you view the long-term outlook for Argentina? Any comments you can give are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Well, good that you're talking about other countries. Colombia, I think we're doing very good in Colombia, growing very fast in mobile. Let me tell you, we're growing from seven to 7.6, then to 10, the growth in mobile revenue. We were the first ones that do 5G there. We have a very good network, and portability is going well with us. That's the reason why we're growing. Also, a lot of customers are moving to higher plans. We work a lot on also service quality, speed. All of that is making that our customers will use more the service and that new customers are coming to our network. In the other side, in the fixed side, we're moving also to do more fiber. It's more challenging.

Oscar Von Hauske

Broadband.

Daniel Hajj

Mobile is more challenging, but I think we can grow. We are doing fiber. We have a good network, good sales, and distribution. I think we're going to do much better in the fixed.

Oscar Von Hauske

In corporate. In Colombia, as I was saying, I think on the corporate segment, we are growing pretty nicely in Colombia as well.

Daniel Hajj

Good in mobile, good in corporate, and moving to be better in broadband and fixed, in TV, mobile, and fixed TV. That's where we are. In Argentina, well, in Argentina, we're going to compete against a big competitor there. Nothing else to do, so we have fiber, we have good broadband, we have 5G, and we're growing. That's what we want to do, and that's the same strategy that we have. Do fiber to be more customers in broadband, in TV, and we are competitive in price. We have good prices there. That's where we are. Well, we're growing also very good. We don't say about Peru, but in Peru we're growing very good in broadband, very good in corporate segment.

Daniel Hajj

The growth in Peru, I think, on the fixed side was around 12%, it was incredible the growth in Peru, and that's what we are doing and are looking to still grow more there. There's a lot of opportunities in the corporate segment also in Peru.

Ernesto González

Really clear. Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Rogerio Araujo, Bank of America. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Rogerio Araujo

Hi. Thanks for the follow-up question. If you could provide more details on the regulatory fine of MXN 1.3 billion on Telmex, what are the reasons behind it, and also the potential recurrences of regulatory fines going forward? Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Well, this is something that dates back to 2017, and in 2020, this fine was imposed on an alleged violation of asymmetric measures. We contested the fine, and now in June it became final. We believe it's disproportional. It doesn't make any sense, this fine. It's 6% of the revenue, which is the minimum accordance to the law, and we think it's completely absurd what they do. Unfortunately, at this stage, we cannot do anything. That's what we have. It's not on Telmex, it's on Telnor, an affiliate of Telmex, and that's what give us this 6%. We think those fines are absurd. We hope, and we don't think there's going to be any more of those. Let's see.

Rogerio Araujo

Okay. Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Marcelo Santos, JPMorgan. Your line is open. Go ahead.

Marcelo Santos

Hi. Thank you very much for the follow-up. I just wanted to go back to the first question regarding Brazilian mobile. Based on what you said, you expect the growth to improve in the third and fourth quarter. Do you see room to increase the control prices, the mobile control price, hybrid prices this year or not? Could you make some comments on that, please? Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

I think we can do increase of prices. There's a lot of competition in Brazil, so we're not going to do anything on that until we see. At the end of the day, if we're going to be competitive, we have the network, we have the coverage to be competitive, and if there's one, two, or three months or quarters that the promotions are more aggressive, then we're going to be there. If that happens in May with Vivo, in May with Vivo, we need to put more promotions, and we think we need to put more promotions and to be more aggressive. That's what we do in May and June. We don't know what is going to happen. As I said, we don't control the competition. We control what is internal in the company, not the competition.

Daniel Hajj

I don't know exactly what they are going to do. In Brazil and in all the countries, we are prepared to compete, and if they do more promotions, then we're going to do more promotions. If their promotions are a little not relaxed, then we can relax the promotions. We are a long-term player, and if it's for some quarters or one year that they're too aggressive, well, that happened in Colombia three or four years ago with the entrance of the new competition there, very aggressive. Today, we're growing, and we do what we need to do in the market, in our network, in training our people. Other thing that we are doing is we're using and starting to use a lot more AI agents, a lot more AI, and it's going to help us to reduce costs.

Daniel Hajj

It's going to help us to understand more our customers and to see what opportunities we have. It's not a short-term. I think that's something that we're going to do on long-term, and it's going to help us. We're seeing that we are growing more our EBITDA than our revenues, and that's because we are controlling our costs and expenses. That's where we are. That's really the strategy of the company all around Latin America and in Europe. Well, in some countries, maybe we have some competition, one quarter or for six months, another one, another one, and, well, we are prepared to do that. That's where we are, and that's our strategy.

Marcelo Santos

All right. Thanks a lot.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Walter Piecyk from LightShed Partners. Your line is open. You may now go ahead.

Walter Piecyk

Thanks. In Mexico, you've had very good margins for quite some time. I think they stepped up a couple of years ago. You do show revenue growth there. Just curious if there's a way to further leverage that to take margins higher, specifically in Mexico.

Daniel Hajj

Well, what I said, we are really working as hard to control costs, to control expenses, to find ways that will be good for our customers to increase their plan, because we don't want that we sell a better plan and the people and our customers don't use that plan. We want that what we sell, they use, they will be happy. We want customers for a long-term, we don't want customers for short-term. Of course, if we can find a way to increase more revenue and Yes, and to control cost in all the companies, of course, the margin will increase. I think all over all this quarter against last quarter of last year, the second quarter of last year, the margins of all the companies increased a little bit.

Daniel Hajj

Almost, not all, but in almost all the companies, our margin of EBITDA increased this quarter.

Walter Piecyk

Okay. Sorry if this was touched on before, but the fiber acquisition and maybe potential other acquisitions, I assume is not going to negatively impact what has been a good trajectory in terms of capital return with dividends as well as share repurchase. Related to that, you still have a stake in Verizon. Is there any thought of monetizing that stake in order to provide additional cash for acquisitions or capital return? Obviously, the leverage ratio of the company is within your target range. Just curious how all those things fit together in terms of maybe selling Verizon, how much fiber more to build and, whether we're going to see a big step up more in capital return in 2027.

Daniel Hajj

Well, the cash flow this first six months was really good. I think we increased a lot our cash flow. Still we need to give the dividends. The dividends for the second half are there. And with the dollar appreciated, it's a lot of dollars what we need to give. It's good. No, I think what Carlos is saying, we have a target, and then at the end of the day, we can use that. It doesn't have to be immediately in the short term. I can tell you that in the long term, there's going to be acquisitions, if we have acquisitions, and return to capital to the shareholders and reduce the debt. Those are the three things that we have.

Daniel Hajj

We want to be as financially sound as possible because, well, maybe we can have other opportunities in the future. That's what we are. Still what Carlos is saying, we need to pay the acquisition of Desktop at the end of the year. All overall, we are going to be looking for those three things, acquisitions, returning capital to shareholders, and reducing debt. That's where we are.

Walter Piecyk

Thank you. Is there any reason?

Daniel Hajj

We are not seeing the things in a short term, okay? Today, what is today and tomorrow, we need to see a little bit more on a medium and long term to do all these things, okay? That's where we are. I still personally think that there will be more opportunities like Desktop, like WOW in the future. Let's see, that's why we want to be healthy and to be prepared to do those things, no?

Carlos García Moreno

Those acquisitions.

Walter Piecyk

Why continue to own Verizon?

Daniel Hajj

Well, Verizon, when the share was at some price, we sold some of that. We take the decision to sell half of that. We haven't take the decision of the other half of that. We are looking, we are sure that in the future we are going to divest, maybe. We don't know exactly when we're going to divest.

Carlos García Moreno

Not in a hurry.

Daniel Hajj

We're not going to hurry. There has to be a good price. We're not going to hurry to divest.

Walter Piecyk

It's a pretty good price. It's a pretty good price right now.

Daniel Hajj

Yeah. We sold it at a higher price than this one.

Walter Piecyk

I know.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.

Walter Piecyk

Thanks.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Jesús Romo, GlobalData. Your line is open. You may go ahead.

Jesús Romo

Hello, good morning, and thank you for taking my call. Just a quick follow-up on the Mexico numbers, specifically the prepaid subscriber numbers. I noticed that you had positive net adds in Q2 2026 versus Q1 2026. Since we're in the middle of, or we're still on the ongoing registration process, I wonder if you could share a little bit of color or the factors that guided to have positive net add numbers in this quarter. Was it promotions, the World Cup, mobile portability, or a combination of factors? Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Look, it's very difficult to explain what is happening since the registration in January is with the new customers. It's very difficult because some customers decide not to renew because if they renew, they have to register. People are not registered. We have less disconnections. A little bit less sales, but less disconnection. It's very difficult. The way we're seeing and trying to understand what people is thinking, but change a little bit because people used to buy very cheap and then use and then buy another handset and then use. The behavior of the prepaid subscribers are changing a little bit and we need to see. At the end of the day, the most important thing in prepaid is the amount of revenue that you are getting per month.

Daniel Hajj

I think that's what is doing good, and we are doing fine on that.

Carlos García Moreno

Yeah, just to give you a reference point, net adds Prepaid net adds at second quarter were 146,000 in Mexico. A year ago, second quarter of last year, they were 83,000, and two years ago they were 106,000. If you look at the last three years, the second quarter has given us the better net adds in prepaid.

Daniel Hajj

Another thing that is happening in all the countries is that there's a lot of people moving from prepaid to postpaid. In some countries, they are moving more from prepaid to postpaid, in other ones a little bit less. As people is understanding that, well, the concept is part of the life of the person. They are moving when they can, they move to a postpaid, and in postpaid they hire more data and more applications and do more things. That's going to be the trend for the next five years. There's going to be more people moving from prepaid to postpaid.

Jesús Romo

Just a quick follow-up, if I may. Do you perceive there is an effect of customers coming in from Movistar now that there's an announcement of a deal? Not an approval yet, but there's an announcement of Movistar changing hands. Do you think that this is customers going to stick to América Móvil?

Daniel Hajj

No. I think it's difficult that all the customers will know that the company's going to be for sale or not for sale. Some of them know, other ones no. I think what we have is in number portability, we have been gainers in number portability, and we still are gainers in number portability. I don't know exactly if it's because the company was for sale and it's still not for sale, or they are not selling because they don't have the authority. I don't know exactly what those regulator's happen. Well, we're gaining customer from all the companies.

Jesús Romo

Thank you.

Daniel Hajj

Thank you.
