Operating Costs
(millions of euros) 1Q14 Δ % Drivers
Other Operating Costs 67.0 (9.0%)
Other Operating Costs fell by 9% yoy to 67 million euros due to a combination of effects with the most relevant impacts due to a
decline in Supplies and External Services and a reduction in the level of provisions. License related costs, included in this
aggregate, increased by 22.5% in 1Q14 to 5.7 million euros which is mostly explained by a 0.75 million euros increase in spectrum
fee and a 0.6 million euros quarterly charge related with the cinema tax imposed on television operators
Commercial Costs 22.7 17.6%
Commercial Costs increased by 17.6% in 1Q14 to 22.7 million euros although they were 31.6% lower than in 4Q13 which is always
a period of strong commercial activity in the build-up to Christmas. The yoy increase was mainly driven by a higher level of
handset sales and commissions due to the increased commercial push
W&S 21.0 (9.5%)
Wages and Salaries fell by 9.5% to 21.0 million euros in 1Q14 as a result mainly of a lower average level of headcount at the telco
division in comparison with 1Q13, down by 11%. The majority of the projected headcount optimization resulting from the merger
process has already occurred and this will continue to be reflected in yoy savings in this cost line
Direct Costs 96.7 (1.0%)
Direct Costs recorded a 1% decline to 96.7 million euros, which reflects a combination of significantly lower yoy programming and
capacity related costs of 8% and 18% respectively due to savings already achieved with the merger, namely the integration of
previous OPTIMUS Pay TV and fixed customers onto the ZON OPTIMUS fixed network and an increase in traffic costs of 16% due
to the greater level of mass calling services and increased payments related with advertising revenue sharing models in place

• The Group EBITDA margin declined by 0.7pp yoy to 38.5% in 1Q14, posting a 5.3 p.p. increase in comparison with 4Q13, with the decrease in revenues and service margins not being offset by OPEX reduction
• Including the contribution from the 30% stake in ZAP, Consolidated EBITDA would have fallen 3.9% yoy in 1Q14 to 135.3 million euros
• EBITDA from the Audiovisuals and Cinema divisions grew by 36.3% yoy to 9.5 million euros in 1Q14

Equity in Earnings of Affiliate Companies, Net 4.9 277.5%
Equity in affiliate companies posted another very positive increase in contribution growing to 4.9 million euros in 1Q14 compared with
1.3 million in 1Q13, on the back of the very strong financial contribution of the international JV, ZAP, and also of the contribution of
SportTV which revereded from a negative Net Income in 1Q13
Other Expenses (2.8) n.a.Other Expenses of 2.8 million euros were significantly lower in 1Q14 than in 4Q13 and a significant part relates to non-recurrent
