America Movil's Q3 Earnings Increase Y/Y
America Movil reported net income per ADR of 11 cents for third-quarter 2024, up from 4 cents in the prior-year quarter. However, the earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 73.17%.

The company’s comprehensive financing cost was Mex$28,323 million, down 4.8% from the year-ago quarter’s Mex$29,740 million.
Revenues
Total quarterly revenues soared 9.6% to Mex$223,458 million, driven by healthy growth across the Service and Equipment segments businesses. Service revenues were Mex$188,170 million, up 11.3% year over year. Equipment revenues totaled Mex$32,247 million, up 3.7%.
America Movil gained 1.8 million wireless subscribers in the third quarter. This figure includes 1.4 million postpaid subscribers. Brazil, Mexico and Colombia were the primary contributors to postpaid subscriber growth. The company had 315.8 million wireless subscribers at the third-quarter end.
On the fixed-line, Broadband and Television platforms, the company ended the quarter with 74.6 million revenue-generating units.
The telco operates in multiple regions, namely Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Central America, the Caribbean, Austria and Other European countries.
Of these countries, Ecuador witnessed a year-over-year revenue decline of 2.3% to $253 million. The downside resulted from a slowdown across all revenue segments owing to various macroeconomic headwinds.
Argentina’s revenues came in at ARS 493,726 million, up 10% from the year-ago quarter. The expansion resulted from increasing service revenues amid a downward trend in equipment revenues. The reported data for Argentina are presented in line with IAS29, reflecting the implications of inflationary accounting, as the Argentinean economy is “deemed” to be hyperinflationary for the third quarter of 2024. The company also stated that Argentina would be left out of all comparisons for consolidated data at constant exchange rates to maintain consistency.
Colombia’s revenues increased 4.5% to COP 3,905 billion, owing to strength in equipment revenues.
