Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, November 26, 2019 – Partner Communications Company Ltd. (“Partner” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ and TASE: PTNR), a leading Israeli communications provider, announced today its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
1 The quarterly
financial results are unaudited. The Company has applied the standard IFRS 16 – Leases, from January 1, 2019. The effects of the application of the standard on the quarterly financial results are provided in this press release, and in
particular in the section “IFRS 16”. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2019 was an increase of NIS 39 million.
2 For the definition of this and other Non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” in this press release.
Commenting on the results for the third quarter of 2019, Mr. Isaac Benbenisti, CEO of Partner noted:
“In the third quarter, Partner reported increases
in revenues, in cellular subscribers, in Partner TV subscribers and in the number of households that we reached with our fiber optic infrastructure, "Partner Fiber".
In the cellular segment, our strategy of enhancing the value to customers and focusing on customer service led to a net increase of 35 thousand
subscribers this quarter, alongside a further decrease in the churn rate to 7.7%, the lowest rate in 8 years.
As of today, Partner TV’s subscriber base has reached more than 183 thousand, the majority of whom are in offerings which also include Internet.
Partner TV is the fastest growing TV service in Israel, and is suited to the current era as a super aggregator of international content services open to the Israeli viewer, in addition to our multi-channel offering. Our groundbreaking
collaborations with the world’s largest content providers have started to be imitated by our competitors, and we are proud of the significant gap that we have opened compared to them.
Partner is leading today the fiber optic deployment field in Israel, with an independent infrastructure that is being rapidly deployed and has
already reached over 540 thousand households, approximately 28% of Internet-connected households in Israel.
Partner's vast fiber optic deployment, from the north of the country to Eilat in the south, supports the acceleration of the migration of wholesale
internet subscribers to our independent infrastructure, as well as the recruitment of new customers and the expansion of Partner's operations within the business sector across the country.
Partner's financial strength and the positive trends in the cellular segment enable the Company to continue to implement our business plans for the
fixed line segment, with the aim of improving profitability and customer loyalty while maintaining a stable level of debt.”
Mr. Tamir Amar, Partner's Chief Financial Officer, commented on the results:
“The third quarter of 2019 ended with stability in service revenues, while continuing to report growth in the fixed-line segment in terms of
subscribers and revenues, relative stability in OPEX over time and a positive net profit.
In the cellular segment, where the intensity of competition continues to remain high, a clear trend of decreasing erosion in service revenues can be
seen for several quarters, as a result of our strategy according to which we operate. The churn rate totaled 7.7% in the quarter, continuing the declining trend from previous quarters. In addition, our subscriber base increased by 35 thousand
subscribers and ARPU for the quarter totaled NIS 59, maintaining relative stability. We see in these results a reflection of our continued efforts to increase value to our customers through value added offerings and to strive for continued
improvement in our customer service, which leads to a decline in price erosion and churn rates. We believe that the steps that we are taking improve our competitiveness in a very challenging business environment.
Adjusted EBITDA this quarter totaled NIS 225 million, demonstrating that the Company continues to manage its OPEX responsibly, alongside revenue
growth in the fixed line segment mainly reflecting the impact of the Company's growth engines.
In addition, Adjusted FCF (before interest) was positive and totaled NIS 13 million in the third quarter. Cash flow from operations totaled NIS 230
million. Capex totaled NIS 174 million and reflected the Company's strategy to continue to be a technology leader while continuing to invest in its growth engines with a focus on deploying its fiber optic infrastructure and increasing penetration
in the TV market. These investments are possible as a result of Partner's financial stability and strong balance sheet. Accordingly, we report continued growth in the TV subscriber base which totals 183 thousand as of today, and in the rate of
fiber optic deployment which remains high and reaches over 540 thousand households as of today.”

Financial Review
In Q3 2019, total revenues were NIS 825 million (US$ 237 million), an
increase of NIS 3 million from NIS 822 million in Q3 2018.
Service revenues in Q3 2019 totaled NIS 658 million (US$ 189 million), an increase of 1% from NIS 654 million in Q3 2018.
Service revenues for the cellular segment in Q3
2019 totaled NIS 466 million (US$ 134 million), a decrease of 2% from NIS 476 million in Q3 2018. The decrease was mainly the result of the continued price erosion of cellular services (both Post-Paid and Pre-Paid) due to the continued
competitive market conditions.
Service revenues for the fixed-line segment in Q3
2019 totaled NIS 233 million (US$ 67 million), an increase of 6% from NIS 220 million in Q3 2018. The increase mainly reflected higher revenues from TV services and internet services, which were partially offset principally by the decline in
revenues from international calling services.
Equipment revenues in Q3 2019 totaled NIS 167
million (US$ 48 million), a decrease of 1% from NIS 168 million in Q3 2018.
Gross profit from equipment sales in Q3 2019 was NIS 33 million (US$ 9 million), compared with NIS 44 million in Q3 2018, a decrease of 25%, mainly reflecting a change in the product mix which led to a decrease in the average profit per
sale.
Total operating expenses (‘OPEX’) totaled NIS 474
million (US$ 136 million) in Q3 2019, a decrease of 6% or NIS 30 million from Q3 2018. The decrease mainly reflected the impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 which totaled NIS 39 million, as well as decreases in other expenses, which were
partially offset by an increase in expenses relating to the growth in TV and internet services. Including depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share based compensation), OPEX in Q3 2019
increased by 2% compared with Q3 2018.
Operating profit for Q3 2019 was 26 million (US$ 7
million), a decrease of 46% compared with NIS 48 million in Q3 2018. The decrease resulted from the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses mainly as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16, partially offset by the increase in Adjusted
EBITDA. See Adjusted EBITDA analysis for each segment below.
Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2019 totaled NIS 225 million
(US$ 65 million), an increase of 12% from NIS 201 million in Q3 2018. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2019 was an increase of NIS 39 million. As a percentage of total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2019 was 27%
compared with 24% in Q3 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment was NIS
170 million (US$ 49 million) in Q3 2019, an increase of 17% from NIS 145 million in Q3 2018, mainly reflecting the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 which increased cellular segment Adjusted EBITDA by NIS 35 million, partially offset by a
decrease in gross profit from cellular equipment sales of NIS 9 million. As a percentage of total cellular segment revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment in Q3 2019 was 28% compared with 23% in Q3 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment was NIS
55 million (US$ 16 million) in Q3 2019, a decrease of 2% from NIS 56 million in Q3 2018, reflecting the increase in OPEX, partially offset by the increase in fixed-line service revenues. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 in Q3 2019 on
Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment was an increase of NIS 4 million. As a percentage of total fixed-line segment revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment in Q3 2019 was 21%, compared with 23% in Q3 2018.
Finance costs, net in Q3 2019 were NIS 18 million
(US$ 5 million), an increase of 80% compared with NIS 10 million in Q3 2018. The increase largely reflected the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16, which resulted in an increase of NIS 5 million in finance costs.
Income tax expenses for Q3 2019 were NIS 1 million
(US$ 0.3 million), compared with NIS 12 million in Q3 2018.
Profit in Q3 2019 was NIS 7 million (US$ 2
million), a decrease of 73% compared with a profit of NIS 26 million in Q3 2018. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 in Q3 2019 on profit was a decrease of NIS 2 million.
Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during Q3 2019, basic earnings per share or ADS,
was NIS 0.04 (US$ 0.01), compared with basic earnings per share of NIS 0.16 in Q3 2018.
Cellular Segment Operational Review
At the end of Q3 2019, the Company's cellular subscriber base (including mobile data, 012 Mobile subscribers
and M2M subscriptions) was approximately 2.65 million, including approximately 2.37 million Post-Paid subscribers or 89% of the base, and approximately 285 thousand Pre-Paid subscribers, or 11% of the subscriber base.
During the third quarter of 2019, the cellular subscriber base increased by approximately 35 thousand. The Pre-Paid subscriber base increased by
approximately 6 thousand, and the Post-Paid subscriber base increased by approximately 29 thousand.
The quarterly churn rate for cellular subscribers in Q3 2019 was 7.7%, compared with 8.0% in Q3 2018.
Total cellular market share (based on the number of subscribers) at the end of Q3 2019 was estimated to be
approximately 25%, unchanged from Q3 2018.
The monthly Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) for cellular subscribers in Q3 2019 was NIS 59 (US$ 17), a
decrease of 2% from NIS 60 in Q3 2018 as a result of the continued price erosion in key cellular services due to the competition in the cellular market.
Funding and Investing Review
In Q3 2019, Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including lease payments) totaled NIS 13 million (US$ 4 million), a
decrease of 81% from NIS 70 million in Q3 2018.
Cash generated from operating activities increased
by 22% from NIS 188 million in Q3 2018 to NIS 230 million (US$ 66 million) in Q3 2019, as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 in 2019, under which lease payments are recorded in cash flows from financing activities instead of in cash flows from
operating activities.
Lease payments, recorded in cash flows from
financing activities under IFRS 16, totaled NIS 42 million (US$ 12 million) in Q3 2019.
Cash capital expenditures (‘CAPEX payments’), as
represented by cash flows used for the acquisition of property and equipment and intangible assets, were NIS 174 million (US$ 50 million) in Q3 2019, an increase of 49% from NIS 117 million in Q3 2018, mainly reflecting the impact of the change
in the accounting treatment of PHI from the beginning of 2019, as well as the increased investments in the fiber optics infrastructure.
The level of Net Debt at the end of Q3 2019 amounted to NIS 956 million (US$ 275 million), compared with NIS
898 million at the end of Q3 2018, an increase of NIS 58 million.
Regulatory Developments
Holdings of approved Israeli shareholders in the Company
The provisions of the Company's cellular license require, among others, that the "founding shareholders or their approved substitutes", as defined in
the cellular license, hold at least 26% of the means of control in the Company, including 5% which must be held by Israeli shareholders (Israeli citizens and residents), who were approved as such by the Minister of Communications.
The controlling stake of the Phoenix Group (One of the Company’s approved Israeli shareholders) has been sold to foreign entities. On November 12,
2019, the Israeli Ministry of Communications issued a temporary order (ending on November 1, 2020) amending the Company’s cellular license and reducing the percentage that the approved Israeli shareholders are required to hold by the amount of
shares now held by the foreign entities (from 5% down to 3.82% of the means of control in the Company). This temporary order will allow the Ministry and the Company one year in which to resolve the issue of holdings of approved Israeli
shareholders in the Company.
Transition to IPv6 internet protocol
On the July 3, 2019, the Ministry of Communications published its decision regarding the transition to the IPv6 protocol, which is the most recent
version of internet protocol. The Ministry decided, among others, that telecom operators (such as the Company) will adapt their network and its components to fully support the IPv6 protocol. ISPs and domestic fixed-line operators will be required
to complete this transition within 48 months of the decision while cellular operators will be required to complete it within 24 months.
The subscribers will be transitioned gradually to the IPv6 protocol according to milestones so that 100% of subscribers are transitioned to the IPv6
protocol at the end of the time periods mentioned above.
Operators will be obliged to replace terminal equipment which their subscribers have rented or leased from them and which does not support the IPv6
protocol. Operators will not be obliged to transition subscribers which own terminal equipment that does not support the IPv6 protocol, provided that such subscribers have refused to replace their terminal equipment and have signed a written
waiver on this issue.
Inter-Ministerial recommendations on Bezeq’s FTTH/B Universal Service obligations
On November 5, 2019, an Inter-Ministerial team published a hearing regarding the universal service obligations applicable to Bezeq with regards to
Fiber Optic infrastructure (FTTH/B) deployment. The recommendations of the Inter-Ministerial team include the following:
|
•
|
Bezeq will be allowed to decide for itself in which areas it will roll out its fiber-optic network. Within such areas, Bezeq will be required to connect 100% of households to its fiber-optic network within a timeframe set out in
its license;
|
|
•
|
In the areas where Bezeq decides not to lay a fiber-optic network, another operator will be chosen (by a reverse tender process) to deploy a fiber-optic network to all households in the area. Such operator will receive an incentive
for such deployment from a universal service fund and will enjoy exclusivity in deploying a fiber optic network in this area (but will be obliged to provide other operators with a wholesale Bit Stream Access (BSA) service provided
over their fiber optic network;
|
|
•
|
The universal service fund incentive plan will be financed by a tax on all telecommunications operators (including Bezeq and Partner) at an annual rate of 0.5% of all income;
|
|
•
|
In the areas where Bezeq decides not to lay a fiber-optic network, it and its subsidiaries will not be allowed to deploy a fiber-optic network.
|
The Company is studying the hearing documents and examining its position regarding the provisions proposed therein.

(1) Mainly amortization of employee share based compensation.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA as reviewed by the CODM represents Earnings Before Interest (finance costs, net), Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (including
amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses-right of use and impairment charges) and Other expenses (mainly amortization of share based compensation). Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures for other companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the Group's historic operating results nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The usage of the term "Adjusted EBITDA" is to
highlight the fact that the Amortization includes amortization of deferred expenses – right of use and amortization of employee share based compensation and impairment charges.
(3) Operating expenses include selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses.
