Residential
Residential revenues represented 41% of the total during the third quarter, compared with 37% in the same quarter of 2007. Revenues in the residential business segment reached Ps. 292 million, an increase of 28% in comparison to Ps. 228 million in the third quarter of 2007.

The 28% increase in revenues is directly related to the 44% increase in RGUs and was mainly driven by:

1.
An increase in the number of mobile RGUs to reach 54,969, and an increase in the number of pay TV RGUs to reach 16,161. The Company continues to successfully up sell to its existing and new client base the products that were launched late September and December 2007 respectively;
2.
An increase in the number of data RGUs which increased by 109% to reach 25,783. Customers that had previously declined broadband are revisiting their decision once they have decided on a double play with pay TV; and,
3.
A 9% increase in voice RGUs (formerly voice lines in service) in the residential business segment to reach 237,486.

In addition, the increase in revenues is due to an agreement with Megacable to sell Maxcom’s share in approximately 10,000 subscribers of our Toluca and Queretaro operations, for voice termination under the original triple play agreements. The Company entered into commercial agreements with Telemedia in Queretaro and Cablenet in Toluca during 2005 in order to provide voice termination for triple-play customers now been transferred to Megacable. However, Megacable acquired these 2 companies during 2005 and 2008, respectively.  Megacable and Maxcom mutually agreed to terminate the strategic alliance, and as part of the transaction, approximately 10,000 subscribers were sold to Megacable. It is important to highlight that this transaction does not include any transfer of infrastructure since it belongs in its entirety to Megacable. As part of the agreement, Maxcom will continue to provide different services in all of the cities in which it operates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the residential business totaled Ps. 821 million, and increased by 24% from Ps. 661 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

The take up of products and up selling has improved the RGU per customer in the residential business from 1.1 in the third quarter of 2007 to 1.5 RGUs per customer in the third quarter of 2008.

Commercial
Commercial revenues represented 30% of the total during the third quarter of 2008, and represented 29% in the in the third quarter of 2007. Revenues in Commercial Business reached Ps. 213 million, an increase of 17% in comparison to Ps. 182 million in the same period of 2007.

The 17% or Ps. 31 million increase in revenues during the third quarter of 2008 is mainly explained by an increase in the average revenue per customer that the company recorded and a 25% increase in the number of RGUs. The increase in RGUs was mainly driven by:

 
1.
A higher number of data RGUs in the quarter to reach 3,006;
 
2.
A higher number of voice RGUs (formerly voice lines in service) which have increased by 25% to 79,674; and,
 
3.
The higher number of RGUs from other value added-services that the Company provides, including: firewall protection, IT outsourcing, hosting and other services.

It is important to highlight that the number of customers decreased by 7% in comparison to the third quarter of 2007. As in the previous quarter the Company continues to filter clients that had only one or two commercial voice lines. However, although the number of customers is declining the Company has been successful in increasing its voice lines per customer numbers from 10.8 lines per customer in the third quarter of 2007 to 14.8 lines per customer in the third quarter of 2008.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the commercial business totaled Ps. 605 million, or a 33% increase when compared to Ps. 455 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

In addition, RGU per commercial customer increased from 11.1 in the third quarter of 2007 to 14.9 in the third quarter of 2008.

Third Quarter 2008 Results
 
  
 
Public Telephony
Public Telephony represented 16% of total revenues during the third quarter of 2008. Revenues in this business unit totaled Ps. 113 million, an increase of 5% when compared to Ps. 108 million in 2007. The increase in revenues is attributed to the 29% growth in the base of public telephones installed. However and partially offsetting this revenue growth, as the number of public telephones continues to grow, the average revenue per public telephone tends to decline. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the public telephony business totaled Ps. 309 million, an increase of 7% when compared to Ps. 290 million recorded in the same period of 2007.
 
Wholesale
In the third quarter of 2008, Wholesale revenues increased by 3% to reach Ps. 95 million, in comparison to the Ps. 92 million registered during the same quarter in the previous year. The increase in the Wholesale Business revenues was mainly driven by an increase in long distance termination and CPPN traffic due to better call completion through Maxcom’s network. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the wholesale business decreased from Ps. 293 million recorded in the nine months of 2007 to Ps. 249 million.

Other Revenue
Other revenue represented less than 1% of total revenues and reached Ps. 4 million, in comparison to Ps. 7 million or also less than 1% of total revenues in the previous quarter. Other revenues are primarily comprised of lease of microwave frequencies and CPE sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from other businesses totaled Ps. 27 million, or 2% of total revenues from Ps. 28 million recorded in the same period of 2007, or 2% of total revenues.
 

 
Network Operation Cost

Network Operation Costs in the third quarter of 2008 increased 12% or Ps. 30 million to reach Ps. 284 million in comparison to Ps. 254 million in the previous year, and was mainly due to a 14% increase in network operating services and an increase in technical expenses of 4%. However and partially offsetting this increase, installation expenses decreased by 34% due to a reduction in the cost per single line installed and several promotional offers with the Company’s bundled products.

The increases in network operating services were mainly in:

 
1.
The amounts paid for pay TV content and the cost of the Company’s mobile services;
 
2.
The amounts paid for connection to internet services;
 
3.
Higher costs in long distance interconnection;
 
4.
The lease of circuits and ports; and,
 
5.
The amounts paid to carriers for calling party pays.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 network operation costs totaled Ps. 795 million from Ps. 725 million, a 10% increase in comparison to the same period last year.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2008 was 60%, the same as the gross margin recorded in the same period of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 gross margin was 60%, 244 basis points higher than the 58% gross margin recorded in the same period of 2007.
 

 
SG&A

SG&A expenses were Ps. 212 million in the third quarter of 2008, 15% above Ps. 184 million in the same period of 2007. The Ps. 28 million increase was mainly driven by higher bad debt expenses as a result of the deteriorating economic environment in Mexico, higher external advisory expenses, salaries and staff related costs, wages and benefits as a result of an increasing headcount specifically in the residential and commercial sales forces which have increased as a result of the increased coverage areas. In addition, to an increase in sales commissions and marketing expenses, among others. These increases were partially offset by lower insurance costs and stock option compensation.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 SG&A expenses totaled Ps. 599 million, 16% above Ps. 514 million reported in the same period last year.
 

 
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 was Ps. 222 million, a 23% increase from Ps. 180 million in the same period of last year. EBITDA Margin was 31% during the period, 181 basis points higher than 29% in the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, EBITDA amounted to Ps. 618 million, 27% higher than the Ps. 488 million registered in the same period of 2007.

The higher Comprehensive Financial Result was due to a net exchange rate loss of Ps. 44 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to a net exchange rate gain of Ps. 13 million recognized in the same period of last year, mainly due to the US dollar cash position of the company. At September 30, 2008 the exchange rate between the Mexican Peso and the United States Dollar was Ps. 10.7919, compared to Ps. 10.9203 at the end of September 30, 2007.

The Company recorded a decrease of Ps. 28 million on the amount of net interest expense when compared to the same quarter of 2007. While the amount of interest expense increased due to the overall amount of debt in a year over year basis (The Company reopened its Senior Notes on September 5, 2007 for an additional US$25 million), the capitalization of interest cost on telecommunications network infrastructure build out partially offset this increase.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, comprehensive cost of financing for the Company reached Ps. 175 million when compared to Ps. 101 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

As a result of the change in the accounting standards in Mexico (see “Adoption of New Accounting Standards”), inflationary accounting (NIF B-10) is not required in a low-inflation environment. As of the third quarter of 2008 the Company prepared its financial statements in terms of historical Mexican pesos. Therefore, the comprehensive financial result will no longer be affected by the results in monetary position. In this case the company recorded a monetary position loss of Ps. 33 million in the third quarter of 2007 which does not compare to the third quarter of 2008.
 

 
Taxes

During the first quarter of 2008 and according to the latest tax reform in Mexico, asset tax was replaced with the flat corporate tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Única). The IETU is calculated on a cash-flow basis, with the base determined by reducing taxable revenue (mainly income derived from the sale of goods, the rendering of independent services and the leasing of tangible goods) with specific deductions. Since Capex is deductible, the Company is able to minimize tax payments given the aggressive Capex plan for 2008.

The Company recorded Ps. 8 million in taxes during the third quarter 2008, compared to Ps. 43 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded Ps. 15 million in taxes, which compare to Ps. 101 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

While Asset Tax, IETU and Income Tax represent cash outflows, Deferred Income Tax is a non-cash item.

Capital Expenditures

Capital Expenditures during the period totaled Ps. 400 million, higher than the Ps. 275 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007. Capital Expenditures were primarily used for telephone network systems, the build out of new clusters, and equipment for Maxcom’s network expansion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Company recorded Ps. 1,114 million which is greater than the Ps. 939 million recorded in the same period of last year.
 

 
Indebtedness

At September 30, 2008 the Company reported its indebtedness level at Ps. 2,237 million. The Company’s leverage ratio measured by Total Debt/EBITDA, presented a decrease, from 3.6 times in 2007 to 2.7 times in 2008. In addition, Net Debt/EBITDA ratio presented an even more important profile reduction from 3.3 times in 2007 to 0.9 times in 2008, as a result of the cash proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering.

As a reminder in May 2007, the Company entered into a currency swap transaction to minimize the exchange rate risks related to the coupon payments with respect to US$150 million aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes due 2014, for payments during the period from June 2008 to December 2010. In addition, the Company’s cash position is almost entirely in US dollars which further reduce the risk with currency fluctuations.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

B-10: As of January 1, 2008, the company has adopted the changes to “Inflationary Effects”, B-10 in accordance with the Mexican Financial Standards (“NIF”) which establishes the rules for the recognition of inflationary effects in the country; furthermore, it incorporates changes such as, reclassifying accumulated results for non-monetary assets and has the possibility of choosing between the INPC (national consumer price index) and the value of UDIs. It has been determined that the country does not face an inflationary environment, and therefore the company as of January 1, 2008 will suspend the recognition of these inflationary effects in its financial information. Consequently, the financial information corresponding to the period ended September 30, 2007 is expressed in Millions of Mexican Pesos of purchasing power at December 31, 2007 (date on which bulletin B-10 was still in effect) and the financial information for September 30, 2008 is in current Mexican Pesos.
