1   We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, total integral cost of financing, other (income) expenses, special items, tax and stock option plan expense. Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and income taxes, depreciation or capital expenditures and associated charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under Mexican GAAP or U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of liquidity. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can be useful to facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other companies because it excludes the effect of stock option plan expense, which is a non-cash compensation item. You should review EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, along with consolidated financial statements, when trying to understand our operating performance. However, companies define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in different ways and caution must be used in comparing these measurements to other companies.

COST OF NETWORK OPERATION:
Cost of Network Operation in 4Q06 was Ps$196.4 million, 84% above the cost of Ps$106.6 million in 4Q05. During the same period, outbound traffic decreased 17%, showing an increase on a cost per minute basis as a result of higher operating costs in our public phones and higher long distance termination charges, driven by volume, as well as calls to cellular phones. Local traffic represented 83% of total traffic in 4Q06, down from 90% in 4Q05. The Ps$89.8 million increase in the Cost of Network Operation was generated by: (i) Ps$83.7 million, or 105% increase in network operating services, as a result of Ps$29.6 million higher long distance interconnection fees, Ps$24.4 million higher cost of operation of public telephones, Ps$3.2 million higher calling party pays interconnection fees, Ps$15.9 million higher leases of circuits and ports, Ps$3.4 higher internet services cost and Ps$7.1 million increase in other services cost, such as CATV and Cellular operations; (ii) Ps$5.3 million, or 23% increase in technical expenses; (iii) Ps$0.6 million, or 15% increase in installation expenses and cost of disconnected lines; and, (iv) Ps$0.2 million increase in cost of sales of customer premises equipment (CPE).
Cost of Network Operation increased 2% quarter-over-quarter when compared to Ps$191.9 million in 3Q06. The Ps$4.5 million increase in Cost of Network Operation was generated by: (i) Ps$5.3 million, or 3% increase in Network operating services, as a result of Ps$5.0 million higher leases of circuits and ports, Ps$4.5 million higher cost of operation of public telephones, Ps$3.2 higher internet services cost, and Ps$3.2 million higher other services cost, such as CATV and Cellular operations; these increases were partially offset by Ps$6.8 million lower long distance interconnection fees and Ps$3.9 million lower calling party pays interconnection fees; (ii) Ps$1.3 million decrease in technical expenses, (iii) Ps$1.2 million increase in installation expenses and cost of disconnected lines; and, (iv) Ps$0.6 million decrease in cost of sales of CPE.
On a full year basis, the Cost of Network Operation increased Ps$253.1 million to Ps$ 652.4 million, from Ps$399.3 million in 2005. Cost of network operating services increased Ps$240.7 million, or 84%, driven by our larger scale of operations combined with a shift towards products that carry higher volumes but lower margins; installation expenses and cost of disconnected lines increased Ps$0.3 million, or 2%, and technical expenses grew by Ps$12.1 million, or 13%.
SG&A:
SG&A expenses were Ps$151.6 million in 4Q06, 26% above Ps$120.8 million in 4Q05. The Ps$30.8 million increase was mainly driven by: (i) higher salaries, wages and benefits of Ps$22.8 million as a result of larger headcount; (ii) Ps$3.1 million compensation charge related to stock options plans; (iii) Ps$2.8 million higher advertising and promotion expenses; (iv) Ps$1.6 million higher sales commissions; (v) higher bad debt reserve of Ps$1.2 million; (vi) higher external advisors of Ps$0.5 million, and (vii) higher maintenance expenses of Ps$0.4 million. These increases were partially offset by: (i) Ps$1.2 million lower general and corporate expenses; and, (ii) Ps$0.4 million lower insurance expenses.
SG&A expenses in 4Q06 decreased 8% from Ps$164.7 million in 3Q06. The Ps$13.1 million decrease was generated by: (i) lower compensation charge related to stock options plan of Ps$8.9 million; (ii) lower general and corporate expenses of Ps$2.5 million; (iii) Ps$1.5 million lower external advisors; (iv) lower salaries, wages and benefits of Ps$0.9 million; (v) lower bad debt reserve of Ps$0.6 million; and, (vi) lower lease expenses of Ps$0.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) Ps$1.3 million higher sales commissions; and, (ii) Ps$0.3 million higher advertising and promotion expenses.
On a full year basis, SG&A expenses increased 20% to Ps$585.5 million from Ps$487.3 million in 2005.
SG&A expenses in 4Q06, before the effect of the non-cash stock option compensation charge were Ps$148.5 million, a 23% increase from Ps$120.8 million in 4Q05 and a 3% decrease from Ps$152.7 in 3Q06.
On a full year basis, SG&A expenses, before the effect of the non-cash stock option compensation charge, increased 17% to Ps$570.3 million in 2006, from Ps$487.3 million in 2005.
Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA for 4Q06 was Ps$132.4 million, 41% higher from Ps$94.1 million in 4Q05, and 9% higher from Ps$121.6 million in 3Q06.
On a full year basis, adjusted EBITDA grew 47% to Ps$455.8 million from Ps$310.5 million in 2005.
