B Communications' Cash Management: B Communications manages its cash balances according to an investment policy that was established by its Board of Directors.

On August 6, 2014, the Board of Directors of Bezeq resolved to recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders the distribution of 100% of its profits for the first half of 2014 as a cash dividend to shareholders in the amount of NIS 1,267 million ($369 million). The record date for the distribution of the dividend, which is subject to shareholder approval, will be September 15, 2014 and the payment date will be October 2, 2014. B Communications’ share of the dividend distribution, if approved, is expected to be approximately NIS 391 million ($114 million).
B Communications’ Second Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
B
Communications’ consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2014
totaled NIS 2,250 million ($654 million), a 4.3% decrease compared with
NIS 2,351 million reported in the second quarter of 2013. For both the
current and the prior-year periods, B Communications’ consolidated
revenues consisted entirely of Bezeq’s revenues.
B Communications’ consolidated operating income for the second quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 1,040 million ($303 million), an 89.1% increase compared with NIS 550 million reported in the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily attributed to Bezeq's Yad2 transaction that resulted in NIS 582 million ($169 million) of other operating income in the second quarter of 2014.
B Communications’ consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 572 million ($166 million), a 111.1% increase compared with NIS 271 million reported in the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily attributed to the sale of Yad2 by Bezeq during the second quarter of 2014.
B Communications’ Second Quarter Unconsolidated Financial Results
As
of June 30, 2014 B Communications’ held approximately 31% of Bezeq's
outstanding shares. Accordingly, B Communications’ interest in Bezeq's
net income for the second quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 250 million ($73
million), a 71.2% increase compared with NIS 146 million reported in the
second quarter of 2013.
During the second quarter of 2014, B Communications recorded net amortization expenses of NIS 42 million ($12 million) related to its Bezeq purchase price allocation (“Bezeq PPA”) in its unconsolidated financial statements. From April 14, 2010, the date of the acquisition of its interest in Bezeq, until June 30, 2014, B Communications has amortized approximately 63% of the total Bezeq PPA. The Bezeq PPA amortization expense is a non-cash expense that is subject to adjustment. If, for any reason, B Communications finds it necessary or appropriate to make adjustments to amounts already expensed, it may result in significant changes to its audited financial reports, as well as to future financial statements.
B Communications’ unconsolidated net financial expenses for the second quarter of 2014 totaled NIS 100 million ($29 million) compared to NIS 62 million in the second quarter of 2013. Financial expenses during the second quarter of 2014 include, NIS 69 million ($20 million) related to the publicly traded Series B Debentures and the Senior Secured Notes and NIS 28 million ($8 million) of non-cash net expenses related to the revaluation of the cross-currency swap (“CCS”) hedge transactions related to the Senior Secured Notes. The CCS transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. In accordance with IAS 39, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized on the statement of financial position at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized as a component of “financial expenses, net” in the statement of income. B Communications expects that these non-cash revaluation expenses will fully offset against the USD denominated Senior Secured Notes over the term of the hedge transactions. Until then, such revaluation expenses could have a material adverse effect on B Communications’ statement of income due to the volatility of the fair value valuation method. In addition, B Communication recorded NIS 3 million ($1 million) of financial expenses generated by short term investments.
B Communications’ net income attributable to shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 was NIS 107 million ($31 million) compared to net income attributable to shareholders of NIS 40 million reported in the second quarter of 2013.

To provide further

of the consolidated financial report of the Bezeq Group for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2014. For a full discussion of Bezeq’s results
for the second quarter of 2014, please refer to its website: http://ir.bezeq.co.il.
| Bezeq Group (consolidated) | Q2 2014 | Q2 2013 | % change | |||
| (NIS millions) | ||||||
| Revenues | 2,250 | 2,351 | -4.3% | |||
| Operating profit | 1,234 | 744 | 65.9% | |||
| EBITDA | 1,553 | 1,070 | 45.1% | |||
| EBITDA margin | 69.0% | 45.5% | ||||
| Net profit attributable to Bezeq's shareholders | 810 | 473 | 71.2% | |||
| Diluted EPS (NIS) | 0.29 | 0.17 | 70.6% | |||
| Cash flow from operating activities | 1,064 | 1,102 | -3.4% | |||

| Net debt/EBITDA (end of period) 2 | 1.54 | 1.83 | ||||
| 1 Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less net payments for investments. The net proceeds from the sale of "Yad2" (net of tax) are presented as part of cash flow from investment activities, and the sale therefore had no effect on the free cash flow of the Group. |
| 2 EBITDA in this calculation refers to the trailing twelve months. |
Revenues of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 2.25 billion ($654 million) compared with NIS 2.35 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2013, a decrease of 4.3%. The reduction in the Bezeq Group revenues was primarily related to a decrease in revenues from cellular services due to the challenging competitive environment in the cellular market as well as a reduction in the revenues of Bezeq Fixed Line which were influenced by a decrease in fixed call termination rates.
Salary expenses of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 443 million ($129 million) compared with NIS 468 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013, a decrease of 5.3%. The decrease in the Bezeq Group salary expenses was primarily due to streamlining at Bezeq Fixed Line and Pelephone as well as a reduction in share based payments.
Operating expenses of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 822 million ($239 million) compared with NIS 831 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013, a decrease of 1.1%. The decrease in the Bezeq Group operating expenses was primarily due to a reduction in equipment and interconnect expenses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in building maintenance expenses due to a one-time reduction in the corresponding quarter of 2013 as a result of a change in estimates of lease payments for building sites.
Profitability metrics of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 were influenced by the one-time NIS 582 million ($169 million) gain from the sale of Coral Tel Ltd., the operator of the "Yad2" web site.
Operating profit of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 1.23 billion ($359 million) compared with NIS 744 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013, an increase of 65.9%.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 1.55 billion ($452 million) (EBITDA margin of 69.0%) compared with NIS 1.07 billion (EBITDA margin of 45.5%) in the corresponding quarter of 2013, an increase of 45.1%.
Net profit attributable to Bezeq's shareholders in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 810 million ($236 million) compared with NIS 473 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013, an increase of 71.2%.
Operating cash flow of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 1.06 billion ($309 million) compared with NIS 1.10 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2013, a decrease of 3.4%. The Bezeq Group positive trend of stable and strong cash flows continued in the second quarter of 2014. Bezeq Group's financial strength and stable cash flows are primarily a result of the Bezeq Group's leading market positions as well as the diversification of its operating activities and revenue sources.
Payments for investments (Capex) of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 323 million ($94 million) compared with NIS 301 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013, an increase of 7.3%. The increase was primarily due to the continued acceleration of the nationwide roll-out of Bezeq’s fiber optic network.
Free cash flow of the Bezeq Group in the second quarter of 2014 amounted to NIS 787 million ($229 million) compared with NIS 924 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013, a decrease of 14.8%. The decrease in the Bezeq Group free cash flow was primarily due to an increase in investments as well as a decrease in proceeds from the sale of real estate due to timing differences. It should be noted that the net proceeds from the sale of "Yad2" (net of tax) are classified as cash flow from investment activities, and the sale therefore is not included in the free cash flow of the Group.
Net financial debt of the Bezeq Group amounted to NIS 6.95 billion ($2 Billion) at June 30, 2014 compared with NIS 7.93 billion as of June 30, 2013. At the end of June 2014, the Bezeq Group net financial debt to EBITDA was 1.54, compared with 1.83 at the end of June 2013.
Notes:
| A. | Convenience Translation to Dollars: For the convenience of the reader, certain of the reported NIS figures of June 30, 2014 have been presented in millions of U.S. dollars, translated at the representative rate of exchange as of June 30, 2014 (NIS 3.438 = U.S. Dollar 1.00). The U.S. dollar ($) amounts presented should not be construed as representing amounts receivable or payable in U.S. dollars or convertible into U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. | |
| B. | Use of non-IFRS Measurements: We and the Bezeq Group’s management regularly use supplemental non-IFRS financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. We believe these non-IFRS financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the Bezeq Group’s current and future operating cash flow performance. | |
| These non-IFRS financial measures may differ materially from the non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. | ||
| EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure generally defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Bezeq Group defines EBITDA as net income before financial income (expenses), net, impairment and other charges, expenses recorded for stock compensation in accordance with IFRS 2, income tax expenses and depreciation and amortization. We present the Bezeq Group’s EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structure, tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age of, and depreciation expenses associated with, fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense). | ||
| EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS as a measure of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account our debt service requirements and other commitments, including capital expenditures, and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. In addition, EBITDA, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. | ||
| Reconciliation between the Bezeq Group’s results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided in a table immediately following the Company's consolidated results. Non-IFRS financial measures consist of IFRS financial measures adjusted to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, as well as certain business combination accounting entries. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the Bezeq Group’s performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of its core operating results. The Bezeq Group’s non-IFRS financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures, and should be read only in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. |
