DIRECTORIES BUSINESS
During the first quarter of 2006 the TPI Group's revenues increased by 28.6% to
123.2 million euros. The Group's OIBDA amounted to 29.5 million euros, 21.1%
higher than the figure for the same period of 2005. Net income rose by 22.5% to
14.6 million euros. These results are explained by:
• The good performance of Europe, whose advertising revenues rose by 29.4%
to 60.0 million euros, mainly thanks to variations in the publication
calendar of some guides, the good behavior of the editorial business (+4.8%
like for like growth of books published in the period), and the strong
growth of the Internet revenues, improving a 29.6%.
• Telephone traffic revenues rose 62.6% to 21.7 million euros, thanks to the
consolidation of revenues coming from the Italian telephone information
market.
• Total revenues of TPI Peru grow 6.9% in euros (+0.4% in local currency)-
after the publication of the Lima directory.
• The consolidation of Telinver results, contributing with 1.6 million euros
to revenues.
Once again we would like to emphasize that the TPI Group's interim results are
not comparable on a yearly basis and cannot be extrapolated to year-end. This is
mainly due to the higher concentration of directory publications in the second
half of the year and changes in directory publication schedules.
TPI business in Europe contributed 68% of the Group's revenues in the first
quarter 2006, versus the 65% figure in the first quarter 2005. This increase in
revenues' contribution is explained by the strong growth of revenues in Europe,
positively affected by changes in the first quarter publication schedule of five
directories. In terms of OIBDA, it remains in a 64%.
Revenues in Europe rose 35.9% to 84.4 million euros, mostly due to:
• Changes in the calendar of publication for five guides
• Organic growth of 4.8% in paper products
• 29.6% increase of the Internet products
• growth of the telephone traffic associated to the telephone assistance
services, with revenues increasing in a 61.2%. This growth is helped by the
fact that during the first quarter of 2005 the telephone information service
in Italy had not been launched yet.
Latin America made the remaining 32% contribution to total revenues and 36% to
OIBDA, with TPI Peru being the biggest Latin American contributor to revenues in
the region, thanks to the publication of the Lima directory, which is its main
activity throughout the year. During the first quarter, TPI Peru revenues
reached 27.4 million euros, implying a growth of 6.9% in euros (+0.4% in local
currency). OIBDA of this subsidiary grew a 10.7% in euro terms (+4% in local
currency) to 10.7 million euros.
Low activity registered in the Chilean, the Brazilian and Argentinean
subsidiaries because of their guides publishing calendar make their contribution
to Group's results negligible.
In turn, the directories business of the Telefonica Group, which includes the
Argentinean company Telinver in the three months of both 2005 and 2006, an
increase in revenues of 28.0% compared with the first quarter of 2005 to reach
123.2 million euros. OIBDA reached 29.5 million euros, representing a
year-on-year increase of 23.3%.

ATENTO GROUP
The revenues of the Atento Group continued to grow quite significantly during
the first quarter of 2006. Revenues stood at 255.5 million euros at March 2006,
a year-on-year growth of 43%. The net income of 13.7 million euros was up 75.3%
(5.9 million euros) in relation to the previous year.
All Atento operations increased their revenues during the first three months of
the year except for Atento Puerto Rico, which dropped its volume of activity
slightly in relation to the same period of the previous year. Most notable were
Atento Venezuela with a growth rate of over 166%, Atento Brasil with a growth
rate of 71.4%, Atento Mexico with a growth in revenues of 60.1% and Atento
Colombia that recorded an increase in sales of 57.5%. Atento Brasil, remained
number one in terms of contribution towards revenues, accounting for 38.8% of
the total Atento Group. Revenues of Atento Espana represented 31.5% of turnover.
The total of both operations recorded a 40.8% increase year on year, losing one
percentage point in the relative weight of the total group's revenues to the
growth in other operations, primarily in Mexico, Venezuela and Chile. Atento
Mexico consolidated its position as the third operation in terms of its
contribution to revenues with 9.1%, followed by Atento Chile with 5.9%.
The growth in sales of the Atento Group in 2006 was supported by the moderate
growth in the activities of the Telefonica Group companies and, primarily, by
the solid performance in the market of clients outside the Telefonica Group that
stood at 45.4% of total revenues, 0.6 percentage points up on the same period of
the previous year.
OIBDA of the Atento Group in 2006 amounted to 34.5 million euros, a 53.1%
increase on the 22.6 million euros obtained in the first quarter of 2005. Atento
Brasil represented 43.5% of the total with 15 million euros. Mexico (4.1 million
euros), Spain (4.0 million euros) and Chile (3.5 million euros) are the other
markets with operations contributing to over 10% of the group's total OIBDA.
The pressure to drop prices remains a trend in the telemarketing activity.
Despite this, margins have increased by 0.9 percentage points year on year and
remain steady in relation to the fourth quarter of 2005. Thus, the OIBDA margin
in relation to total sales stood at 13.5%.
In absolute terms, depreciation and amortization remained at very similar
amounts to those of the first quarter of 2005, allowing for an improvement in
the Operating Income of 11.8 million euros to increase from 15.6 to 27.4 million
euros.
The increase in revenues was accompanied by maintained CapEx that amounted to
3.8 million euros in comparison with the 4.1 million euros of the first quarter
of 2005, primarily focusing on Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.
Operating free cash flow (OIBDA - CapEx) improved year on year by 12.6 million
euros to stand at 30.8 million euros, as a result of the increased operating
results and lower investment effort.
At operating level, the Atento Group had 39,468 positions in place at March 31st
2006, 24.1% more than one year ago and concentrated in Brazil (+2,944), Mexico
(+1,047), Venezuela (+784) and Chile (+639). The average number of occupied
position for 2006 was 32,846. Productivity stood at 80%, a 5 percentage points
increase in comparison with the same period of the previous year.

CONTENT AND MEDIA BUSINESS
The Contents and Media business ended the first quarter of 2006 with a revenues
of 349.0 million euros, 30.9% up on the figure reached in the same period of the
previous year. This increase is due to the progress in results from all lines of
business.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) in the
January-March 2006 period amounted to 166.7 million euros, compared with the
45.4 million euros obtained in the same period of 2005. This significant growth
in 2006 was primarily due to the revenues from the sale of part of the Sogecable
Capital by the Telefonica Group in the take-over bid launched by the Prisa
Group.
ENDEMOL NV
Progress has been made during the first quarter of 2006 on all elements of
Endemol's strategy: Endemol has enjoyed a very successful first quarter of 2006
within its Core business area. Endemol's top format in terms of turnover, Big
Brother, remains strong, as it was on air in more countries than in the same
period of last year, returning to screens in Italy and Belgium after an absence
in 2005. The success Endemol has enjoyed worldwide with Deal or no Deal during
the first quarter, in particular in the UK and the USA, has resulted in an
increasing appetite for game shows (a core element of Endemol's portfolio),
which Endemol is capitalizing on.
Regarding North America, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition continued to be among
the most popular shows in the US. After being successfully introduced in the US
market in December 2005, Deal or No Deal again had promising ratings for the
second series, which aired on NBC in March. Specific examples of the resurgence
of game shows can be seen in the US were newly created formats Show Me The Money
and For The Rest of Your Life where sold to Fox and ABC respectively and the
rejuvenated version of Endemol's existing format One versus 100 was sold to NBC,
all in the same week.
In the Scripted field, Endemol enjoyed a sound performance with several
continuing and new soap operas and drama series in its main scripted
territories, like the Netherlands, Italy and Spain, but also with initial drama
productions in countries such as Russia and South Africa. In April, Endemol
increased its stake in the Dutch production company NL Film & TV to 51%, which
focuses exclusively on television drama, comedy and feature films.
In line with the Company's continuing search for expansion in New Territories,
the first Asian subsidiary, Endemol India, opened for business at the beginning
of the year and enjoyed a successful start in the first three months. In
addition, Endemol Polska officially kicked off in Poland as a fully independent
production company headed by a newly appointed Managing Director.
In the Digital Media field, the success of formats like Deal or no Deal and Big
Brother is generating substantial revenues on calls and SMSs. Furthermore,
Endemol is exploring new sustainable revenue streams through cooperation with
companies such as KPN in the Netherlands and BT in the UK further exploiting
Endemol's library and developing of new specific content for their IPTV
concepts.
ATCO
The advertising market in Argentina (Capital and Gran Buenos Aires regions) fell
by 2% over the first quarter of the year in relation to that of the previous
year. This decline can be compared with the 6% increase recorded in the same
period of 2005, which reflected the market recovery recorded over 2004 and 2005.
In this favourable market context, Telefe reaffirmed its position as leader,
obtaining 40.6% of the total audience by the end of the first quarter 2006,
representing a three and a half-point increase in accumulated audience on the
same period of the previous year, followed by Canal 13, its main competitor,
with an average share of 25.1%. The market share accumulated by Telefe in the
first quarter of 2006 stood at 41.8%, very similar to that reached in the same
period of 2005 and, once again, followed by Canal 13 with 35.5%.
Hence, ATCO improved its financial results in comparison to the previous year
thanks to both the increased audience obtained by Telefe, enabling it to
increase its advertising sales in the Inland Provinces, and to the international
sale of its own contents, which exceeded that of the same period of the previous
year by over 40%.

reserves for a gross amount of euro 0.085 per share and an interim dividend,
also extraordinary, against the result obtained from January 1 to March 28,
2006 for a gross amount of euro 0.35 per share. The total amount of the
dividends (both of that initially proposed and of the additional dividends
agreed in the framework of the merger) is, therefore, 0.64 euros gross per
share in circulation and will be paid, if approved by the relevant
Shareholders' Meeting, on July 21, 2006, i.e., before the share exchange
deriving from the merger and, therefore, will be collected only by the
shareholders of Telefonica Moviles, S.A.
• On March 29th, 2006, the Board of Directors of Telefonica, S.A accepted
the resignation of Mr. Miguel Horta e Costa from his position on the Board.
