On a quarterly basis, Globe recorded a new all-time high in quarterly revenues with P24.5 billion, up 5% from the first quarter of 2014 and 6% from the same quarter last year. The robust revenue expansion was again fueled by solid growth across all business segments, due to the robust increase in the mobile telephony and broadband subscriber bases and the popularity of the Company s innovative offerings and value-for-money promotions. Globe s mobile telephony segment posted revenues of P37.8 billion, a 5% improvement from the P35.8 billion during the same period last year, on the back of strong contributions from the Globe Postpaid and TM segments. Globe Postpaid continued to lead the pace in growth, with revenues reaching P14.6 billion in the first half of the year, up 11% from the same period last year, backed by strong subscriber year-on-year growth of 10%. TM, Globe s mass-market brand, likewise contributed to the mobile revenue growth, increasing in revenue terms by 9% year-on-year to bring total revenues to P9.1 billion, from P8.4 billion in the same period last year. At the end of June 2014, Globe s mobile subscriber base reached 42.7 million, up a solid 18% from 36.1 million a year ago and 5% higher from the end of the first quarter of On a quarterly basis, mobile revenues peaked at P19.3 billion, a new quarterly high, up by a solid 5% from the P18.5 billion registered in the first quarter of the year. The growth in mobile revenues for the second quarter was driven by growth in mobile data services, which grew 23% quarter-on-quarter to P3.4 billion from P2.8 billion in the first quarter of the year. The growth in mobile data services coincided with the conclusion of the successful Free Facebook promotion Globe offered starting November last year. The promotion, which aimed to seed the habit of mobile browsing on Globe s expanded 3G and 4G networks, resulted in a step increase in mobile data users, boosting registered mobile data users to million monthly average post-facebook promo from 5.4 million pre- Facebook promotion, and a substantial uplift in revenues after the promotion. Also, the Free Facebook promotion provided additional strategic benefits in terms of improved brand equity, new customer insights, particularly for prepaid subscribers, and the ability to integrate below-the-line activities and promotions. Notwithstanding the unprecedented rise of mobile data services, Globe s mobile voice and SMS services remained strong in the quarter, with voice revenues at first quarter levels and SMS revenues up 3% quarter-on-quarter. 1 Figures are based on consumer-related accounts, which exclude corporate and small business customers.

4 With the sustained demand for internet connectivity and the pervasiveness of data in new technologies and applications, Globe s broadband business maintained its solid contributions to revenue growth, posting 14% and 24% year-on-year growth in revenues and subscribers, respectively. Broadband revenues reached P5.9 billion in the first half of 2014, with total subscriber base now reaching 2.2 million. The solid growth in revenues and subscribers was driven by subscriber expansion in the wireless broadband (+30%), fixed broadband (+12%) and LTE solutions. Globe s fixed line data segment improved by 17% to P2.6 billion for the first six months of 2014 from P2.3 billion during the same period last year. The continuous growth in fixed line data revenues was driven largely by domestic and internet services, resulting to an expansion in circuit usage. Cloud services and other business applications services have likewise contributed to the growth in revenues. To complement the growth in fixed line data and broadband, traditional fixed line voice services bucked the global trend in the first half of 2014, posting a 10% year-on-year and 12% quarter-on-quarter improvement. Globe recorded consolidated EBITDA of P19.1 billion in the first semester of 2014, 1% higher than the EBITDA reported in the same period last year. As Globe continued to re-invest its gains in acquiring and retaining high quality subscribers and the expansion of its data network, subsidy and operating expenses grew 12% year-on-year to P28.6 billion from P25.6 billion last year. EBITDA margin stood at 40% for the first six months of 2014, down against 43% the same period in However, on a quarterly basis, EBITDA margin in the second quarter of 42% improved from last quarter s 38%. Globe s net income stood at P6.8 billion, higher by 385% from the net income reported in the same period last year. The growth in net income was driven by the improvement in EBITDA, lower depreciation charges, gains from foreign exchange movements and lower interest expenses recognized during the period. Globe s core net income, which excludes the impact of the nonrecurring items, such as the accelerated depreciation charges related to the change-out of equipment under the modernization initiatives and mark-to-market charges, improved to P7.6 billion from P6.4 billion in the first semester of 2013, an 18% increase year-on-year. Our transformation initiatives are starting to bear fruit, given the solid revenue momentum we sustained this quarter. We approach the second semester of 2014 with confidence that, with our modernized network and our commitment to innovation and customer service excellence, we can maintain the growth momentum for the balance of the year, Ernest L. Cu, President and CEO of Globe Telecom, Inc., said. With the growth in data services we have seen in the past couple of months and the pervasiveness of data in new technologies and applications, we envision keeping in step both in terms of the infrastructure necessary to support data services and the product and service innovations to provide the most seamless experience to our mobile and broadband customers. As of the first six months of the year, Globe spent approximately P11.0 billion in capital expenditures to support the growing subscriber base and its demand for data. Approximately 54% were spent on data-related access and transport infrastructure, including transmission capacities and international cable facilities. Data-related access investments included deployments in Globe s wireless 3G broadband, HSPA+ and LTE access and roll-outs for fixed broadband and solutions.

The sustained topline growth was driven by the strong performances across all key business segments. Mobile revenues posted 5% increase from the same period last year with Globe Postpaid and TM growing by 11% and 9%, respectively. The strong mobile revenue growth was driven in part by solid subscriber base expansion, up 18% year-on-year, to end the first half of the year with total mobile subscribers of 42.7 million. Globe s broadband and fixed line data segments likewise posted solid growth of 14% and 17% respectively, due to expanded customer bases and the sustained demand for data connectivity.

On a sequential basis, consolidated service revenues grew to P24.5 billion, up by P1.2 billion or 5% from last quarter s record-level of P23.2 billion. In step with the year-to-date trend, revenue growth was broad-based, with mobile, broadband and fixed line voice improving 5%, 10% and 12%, respectively, and partially mitigating the slight decline in fixed line data services. Operating expenses and subsidy increased by 12% year-on-year from P25.6 billion to P28.6 billion, as Globe continued to re-invest gains in revenues in acquiring and retaining high-quality subscribers and improving the quality of service through the expansion of its network. To further support the growing subscriber base, subsidy costs, advertising and promotions, services, provisions and staffrelated costs were all up year-on-year. Maintenance costs and lease charges were likewise higher, given the larger Globe network. The increase in operating expenses was partially offset by lower recontracting costs and interconnect charges. On a sequential basis, subsidy and operating expenses was down 2% from P14.4 billion last quarter to P14.2 billion this period. Press Release 2Q

7 The increase in operating expenses was likewise offset by lower depreciation charges in the first half of As the bulk of such accelerated depreciation charges related to the modernization initiatives were incurred in 2013, accelerated depreciation expenses were significantly lower at P1.2 billion against the P7.1 billion in the same period last year. Normal depreciation of assets was likewise lower at P7.3 billion from P9.0 billion last year, as some assets were considered end of life by the end of Overall, total cost and expenses for the first half of 2014, including depreciation charges, declined by 11% year-on-year from P41.7 billion to only P37.1 billion this period. On a sequential basis, cost and expenses including depreciation, slightly increased by 1%. Consolidated EBITDA for the first six months of the year stood at P19.1 billion, slightly up by 1% against the same period last year, as the top line growth fully covered the increases in operating expenses and subsidy. EBITDA margin declined to 40% in the first half of the year from 43% in the same period last year. However, compared to the previous quarter, consolidated EBITDA increased by 17%, driven by the combined effect of strong revenue performance as well as lower costs this quarter, resulting to EBITDA improvement by 4 percentage points, from 38% last quarter to 42% in the second quarter. Non-operating charges declined year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter by 40% and 47%, respectively, driven by the net foreign exchange gains coupled with lower interest expenses recognized during the period. Globe ended the first semester of 2014 with consolidated net income of P6.8 billion, almost five times the P1.4 billion net income recorded in the same period last year. This improvement in net income was driven by higher EBITDA, lower depreciation charges, foreign exchange gain and lower interest expenses recognized during the period. Excluding the non-recurring accelerated depreciation expenses and foreign exchange and mark-to-market gains and losses, core net income after tax reached P7.6 billion as of end June of 2014, an 18% increase from the P 6.4 billion in the same period last year. On a sequential basis, consolidated net income improved by 32% to P3.9 billion from P2.9 billion last quarter, given the EBITDA growth and lower non-operating charges.

On a quarterly perspective, Globe s mobile revenues are up 5% from P18.5 billion in the first quarter of the year to P19.3 billion, registering a new quarterly high. Mobile voice revenues, which accounted for 46% of total mobile service revenues, grew by 9% compared to the same period last year due to the continued popularity of unlimited and bulk domestic voice subscriptions, offsetting the decline in pay-per-use domestic voice and international voice services. Against last quarter, mobile voice revenues were up slightly by P26 million at P8.7 billion. Mobile SMS revenues, which contributed 38% of mobile service revenues, closed the first half at P14.2 billion, slightly lower from the P14.3 billion SMS revenues recorded in the same period last year. The decrease in SMS revenues on a year-on-year basis reflects the continued shift from regular, pay-per-use SMS services to bucket and unlimited promotions. However, SMS traffic in aggregate continues to remain strong, growing 2% year-on-year and 5% quarter-on-quarter. On a sequential basis, mobile SMS revenues improved by 3% to P7.2 billion from P7.0 billion the previous quarter. Mobile browsing & other data revenues, which now accounted for 16% of total mobile service revenues, stood at P6.2 billion for the first half of 2014, up 11% from P5.6 billion a year ago. The positive growth was mainly driven by the continuous demand for data services and the popularity of data-driven products and applications, the improved and increasing 3G, HSPA+ and LTE networks and the proliferation of data-enabled devices. On a sequential basis, mobile browsing & other data revenues improved by 23%, which coincided with the conclusion last April 2014 of the successful Free Facebook promotion which began in November Aimed to seed the habit of mobile browsing on Globe s expanded 3G and 4G networks, initial results after the Free Facebook campaign resulted in a step increase in mobile data users, boosting registered mobile data users to 8.9 million monthly average post-facebook promotion, and revenue uplift. In addition, the promotion provided additional strategic benefits in terms of improved brand equity, providing new customer insights, particularly for prepaid subscribers, and the ability to integrate below-the-line activities and promotions moving forward.

The decrease in net additions was due to the elevated level of churn in the second quarter of 2014, given the churn of the residual 71 thousand subscribers affected by Typhoon Yolanda and the accumulated billings after the migration to the new business support system. Globe Prepaid gross acquisitions slightly improved in the second quarter versus the preceding quarter s record highs, bringing gross additions to 7.9 million or 27% higher than same period last year s level of 6.2 million.

TM on the other hand, generated the highest gross acquisitions during the quarter, 5,385,300 new SIMs or 6% better than previous quarter level of 5,087,842.

First half 2014 blended ARPU declined by 10% to P156 from P173 of 2013, due to the combined effects of higher multi-sim usage and continued pressures on yields caused by the shift to valuebased bucket and unlimited offers. Globe Postpaid ARPU of P1,184 was lower than last year s P1,206. Globe Prepaid ARPU declined by 11% year-on-year resulting from the revenue dilution from unlimited and bucket service offerings. TM ARPU was down by 13% year-on-year with the continued shift from regular pay-as-you-use service to unlimited and value offers. Globe Postpaid subscriber acquisition cost (SAC) significantly increased year-on-year and quarteron-quarter by 28% and 2%, respectively.
