Other businesses
TELEFONICA DEUTSCHLAND GROUP
Telefonica Deutschland obtained revenues of 281.2 million euros in 2005, showing
a year-on-year reduction of 3.3%, due primarily to the reduction in revenues
from narrowband services which has not yet been offset by the increase in
broadband business.
With respect to the broadband business, it is worth to highlight the increase in
the number of connections resold on a retail basis by the company to its main
clients. With it, the total number of equivalent ADSL lines in service in the
German market exceeds the figure of 535 thousands at the end of 2005, which
compares with the more than 481 thousands achieved in December 2004, providing
services to four of the five top main ISPs in Germany.
Telefonica Deutschland has registered a negative operating income before
depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) of 3.1 million euros at the end of the
year, which compares with the negative figure of 151.7 million euros obtained in
2004, mainly due to the anticipated cancellation of Telefonica's UK goodwill.
