Commenting on the third quarter of 2015 results, Mr. Isaac Benbenisti, CEO of Partner noted:
"The third quarter results reflect the telecommunications market environment in which competition in the cellular market remains intense and is characterized by continued price erosion. The reform of the fixed line wholesale market, which includes internet and fixed telephony services, has still not been implemented as anticipated, and we are experiencing many difficulties, as well as prolonged and cumbersome regulatory processes, which limit the potential to succeed and create a competitive telecommunications market. We hope that the Ministry of Communications will remove the barriers as soon as possible, in order to fully implement the reform and enable customers to experience a quality service with an advanced technology at attractive prices, in both internet and fixed telephony services.
In the cellular segment, we moved in the reported quarter to a positive recruitment of Post-Paid subscribers with an increase of 24,000 subscribers, in contrast to the previous three quarters in which there was a cumulative decline of 33,000 post-paid subscribers. We have seen growth in subscriber consumption of cellular data of approximately 70% over the last four quarters, a trend we believe will continue in the future. The move to the 4G network is expected to support this trend. We also observe an increase in data speeds and an improved customer service experience since we shifted to the 20 MHz frequency band, after receiving the new frequencies from the Ministry of Communications.
We have significantly scaled down our investments in infrastructure which decreased by approximately 50% in the first nine months of 2015, compared with the first nine months of 2014. The erosion in operating profitability does not allow us to make the same volume of investments as in the past.
We recorded a net loss for the Company for the reported quarter. This loss reflects, on the one hand, the intense competition in the cellular market over the last few years which has led to significant erosion in revenues in a relatively short period of time, and on the other hand, our limited ability to cut costs further. We are continuing to act to improve our results by focusing both on revenues as well as expenses, in order to provide comprehensive and quality service to our customers and to expand our value proposition and advantage in the telecommunications sector.”

Mr. Ziv Leitman, Partner's Chief Financial Officer, commented on the quarterly results as compared to the second quarter:
“During the third quarter of 2015, the competition in the cellular market continued to erode service revenues. However, this was more than offset by the effects of seasonal roaming revenues, among other things.
The churn rate for cellular subscribers stood at 10.8% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to 10.9% in the previous quarter and 12.0% for the third quarter of 2014, reflecting a decline in the churn of Post-Paid subscribers. Whilst this is the second consecutive quarterly decline in the churn rate, the churn rate remains high, reflecting the intense competition.
Cellular ARPU in the third quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 71, an increase from NIS 70 in the second quarter of 2015, resulting mainly from the seasonal roaming revenues, as explained above. The second and third quarters tend to be characterized by higher roaming revenues compared with the first and fourth quarters, which positively impacts on the ARPU level. We, nevertheless, continue to experience price erosion in our airtime and data packages and services.
Revenues and gross profit from equipment sales in the third quarter of 2015 decreased by NIS 41 million and NIS 15 million, respectively, compared to the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to significant handset sales in the third quarter to large corporate customers at prices generating lower than average profitability, as well as a change in product mix.
Operating expenses increased by NIS 49 million, primarily reflecting the NIS 35 million one-time expense of the employee retirement plan, as announced in the previous quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2015 decreased by NIS 40 million, or 17%, compared with the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment decreased by 14% while Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment decreased by 22%. The decreases mainly reflected the one-time expense of the employee retirement plan as well as the decline in gross profit from equipment sales. Adjusted EBITDA of the fixed-line segment was also negatively affected by the losses arising from the sale of internet services following implementation of the wholesale broadband market reforms. In addition, the implementation of the wholesale broadband market may have a further negative effect on our Adjusted EBITDA and on the Company's results for future periods. These factors were partially offset by income resulting from the new framework agreement with Orange in an amount of approximately NIS 22 million, and the positive impact of the seasonal roaming revenues.
Finance costs, net, totaled NIS 40 million this quarter, a decrease of 13% compared to the previous quarter, mainly reflecting lower linkage costs from the smaller increase in the Consumer Price Index level.
4
Overall, the Company recorded a loss for the third quarter of 2015 of NIS 9 million compared with a profit of NIS 9 million in the previous quarter. The decrease in profits largely reflected a one-time expense of the employee retirement plan, as well as lower gross profit from equipment sales, partially compensated for by the income from the new framework agreement with Orange and the positive impact of the seasonal roaming revenues.
Cash capital expenditures in fixed assets (CAPEX payments) in the third quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 62 million compared to NIS 110 million in the previous quarter, a decrease of 44% mainly due to the one-time payment to the Ministry of Communications during the second quarter of 2015 for the 4G frequencies, in the amount of NIS 34 million. On an accrual basis, investments in fixed assets in the first nine months of 2015 totaled NIS 185 million (including NIS 34 million for the 4G frequencies), compared with NIS 289 million in the first nine months of 2014.
Free cash flow (before interest payments) in the third quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 291 million, compared with NIS 24 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in free cash flow primarily reflected the one-time payment from Orange in the amount of approximately NIS 170 million (€40 million) as part of the new framework agreement with Orange, as well as the decrease in capital expenditures and the decrease in other items of working capital, partially offset by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
As of September 30, 2015, net debt amounted to approximately NIS 2.4 billion (total long term debt and current maturities less cash and cash equivalents of NIS 1.4 billion). In the third quarter, net debt declined by NIS 271 million, largely a result of the positive free cash flow (after interest payments)."

Financial Review (Consolidated)
In Q3 2015, total revenues were NIS 1,006 million (US$ 256 million), a decrease of 9% from NIS 1,102 million in Q3 2014.
Service revenues in Q3 2015 totaled NIS 760 million (US$ 194 million), a decrease of 12% from NIS 862 million in Q3 2014.
Service revenues for the cellular segment in Q3 2015 were NIS 587 million (US$ 150 million), a decrease of 11% from NIS 658 million in Q3 2014. The decrease was mainly the result of the continued price erosion of Post-Paid and Pre-Paid cellular services due to intense competition, partially offset by an increase in revenues from wholesale services that the Company provides to other operators hosted on the Company’s network, and in particular as a result of the Rights of Use agreement with HOT Mobile.
Service revenues for the fixed-line segment in Q3 2015 totaled NIS 225 million (US$ 57 million), a decrease of 13% compared with NIS 259 million in Q3 2014. The decrease mainly reflected lower revenues from international calls and internet services.
Equipment revenues in Q3 2015 totaled NIS 246 million (US$ 63 million), an increase of 2% from NIS 240 million in Q3 2014. The increase largely reflected a higher average price per device sold due to a change in product mix, and was recorded despite a decrease in the amount of devices sold.
Gross profit from equipment sales in Q3 2015 was NIS 52 million (US$ 13 million), compared with NIS 64 million in Q3 2014, a decrease of 19%, primarily due to a decrease in the amount of devices sold, despite an increase in the profit per device sold.
Operating expenses (‘OPEX’, including cost of service revenues, selling, marketing and administrative expenses and excluding depreciation and amortization) totaled NIS 650 million (US$ 166 million) in Q3 2015, a decrease of 1% or NIS 7 million from Q3 2014. The decrease largely reflected lower payments to other telecommunication providers, partially offset by the impact of the one-time expense of the employee retirement plan, as well as an increase in doubtful accounts expenses. Operating expenses including depreciation and amortization expenses in Q3 2015 decreased by 2% compared with Q3 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2015 totaled NIS 196 million (US$ 50 million), a decrease of 30% from NIS 282 million in Q3 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment was NIS 137 million (US$ 35 million) in Q3 2015, a decrease of 28% from NIS 191 million in Q3 2014, mainly reflecting the decrease in service revenues and lower gross profit from equipment sales. As a percentage of total cellular revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment in Q3 2015 was 17%, compared to 22% in Q3 2014.
7
Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment was NIS 59 million (US$ 15 million) in Q3 2015, a decrease of 35% from NIS 91 million in Q3 2014. The decrease reflected the lower service revenues and lower gross profit from equipment sales, partially offset by the lower operating expenses. As a percentage of total fixed-line revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment in Q3 2015 was 25% compared with 32% in Q3 2014.
Operating profit for Q3 2015 was NIS 32 million (US$ 8 million), a decrease of 71% compared with operating profit of NIS 110 million in Q3 2014.
Finance costs, net in Q3 2015 were NIS 40 million (US$ 10 million), a decrease of 20%, compared with NIS 50 million in Q3 2014. The decrease was mainly a result of lower losses from foreign exchange movements.
Income tax expenses in Q3 2015 were NIS 1 million, despite the loss before tax, due to unrecognized expenses for tax purposes.
Overall, the Company recorded a loss in Q3 2015 of NIS 9 million (US$ 2 million), compared with a profit of NIS 40 million in Q3 2014. The change was primarily a result of the lower Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower finance costs, net and lower tax expenses.
Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during Q3 2015, basic loss per share or ADS, was NIS 0.06 (US$ 0.01), compared to a profit of NIS 0.26 in Q3 2014.
Cellular Segment Operational Review
At the end of the third quarter of 2015, the Company's cellular subscriber base (including mobile data and 012 Mobile subscribers) was approximately 2.74 million, including approximately 2.14 million Post-Paid subscribers or 78% of the base, and approximately 603 thousand Pre-Paid subscribers, or 22% of the subscriber base.
During the third quarter of 2015, the cellular subscriber base declined by approximately 8 thousand subscribers. Post-Paid subscriber base increased by approximately 24 thousand subscribers, while Pre-Paid subscriber base declined by approximately 32 thousand subscribers.
The quarterly churn rate for cellular subscribers in Q3 2015 was 10.8%, compared with 12.0% in Q3 2014 and 10.9% in Q2 2015, largely reflecting lower churn of Post-Paid subscribers.
Total cellular market share (based on the number of subscribers) at the end of Q3 2015 was estimated to be approximately 27%, compared to 27% in Q2 2015 and 29% in Q3 2014.
The monthly Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) for cellular subscribers in Q3 2015 was NIS 71 (US$ 18), a decrease of 7% from NIS 76 in Q3 2014 and an increase of 1% from NIS 70 in Q2 2015. The decrease in ARPU compared to the comparable quarter last year mainly reflected the continued price erosion due to the intense competition in the market, as described above.
8
Funding and Investing Review
In Q3 2015, cash flow generated from operating activities before interest payments, net of cash flow used for investing activities ("Free Cash Flow"), totaled NIS 291 million (US$ 74 million), an increase of 160% from NIS 112 million in Q3 2014, reflecting the one-time payment in Q3 2015 from Orange in the amount of approximately NIS 170 million (€ 40 million) as part of the new framework agreement with Orange, as well as the decrease in CAPEX payments, partially offset by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
Cash generated from operations increased by 46% to NIS 353 million (US$ 90 million) in Q3 2015 from NIS 242 million in Q3 2014. This was mainly explained by the one-time payment from Orange, partially offset by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. Operating working capital decreased by NIS 180 million in Q3 2015, compared with a decrease of NIS 9 million in Q3 2014, again primarily reflecting the payment from Orange.
The level of cash capital expenditures in fixed assets (CAPEX payments) including intangible assets but excluding capitalized subscriber acquisition and retention costs, net, was NIS 62 million (US$ 16 million) in Q3 2015, a decrease of 52% from NIS 128 million in Q3 2014.
Net debt at the end of Q3 2015 amounted to NIS 2,355 million (US$ 600 million), compared with NIS 2,637 million at the end of Q3 2014, a decrease of NIS 282 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the safe harbor provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "estimate", “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “project”, “goal”, “target” and similar expressions often identify forward-looking statements but are not the only way we identify these statements. Specific statements have been made regarding the continued anticipated growth of subscriber consumption of cellular data, which are subject to the expansion of the 4G network in the timeframe and with the functionalities currently anticipated, and to the impacts which future shifts in technology and consumer habits may have on subscriber demand. We also state that we are continuing to seek to improve results at both the revenue and cost levels while maintaining quality offerings and services for our subscribers, an objective which is subject to changes in the overall economic and technological environment, actions which may be taken by our competitors, and limits which exist on potential further cost reductions. In addition, all statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release regarding our future performance, are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current knowledge and our present beliefs and expectations regarding possible future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including potential difficulties which may arise from future and excessive regulatory requirements, as well as consumer habits and preferences in cellular telephone usage, trends in the Israeli telecommunications industry in general, and the impact of global economic conditions. Future results may differ materially from those anticipated herein. For further information regarding risks, uncertainties and assumptions about Partner, trends in the Israeli telecommunications industry in general, the impact of current global economic conditions and possible regulatory and legal developments, and other risks we face, see “Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors”, “Item 4. Information on the Company”, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”, “Item 8. Financial Information - 8A. Consolidated Financial Statements and Other Financial Information - 8A.1 Legal and Administrative Proceedings” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F filed with the SEC, as well as its immediate reports on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC.

The financial results presented in this press release are unaudited financial results.
The results were prepared in accordance with IFRS, other than Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
The financial information is presented in NIS millions (unless otherwise stated) and the figures presented are rounded accordingly.
The convenience translations of the New Israeli Shekel (NIS) figures into US Dollars were made at the rate of exchange prevailing at September 30, 2015: US $1.00 equals NIS 3.923. The translations were made purely for the convenience of the reader.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
‘Adjusted EBITDA’ represents earnings before interest (finance costs, net), taxes, depreciation, amortization (including amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses-right of use, and share based compensation expenses) and impairment charges, as a measure of operating profit. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures provided by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the Company’s historic operating results nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely to enhance the understanding of our operating results. We use the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to highlight the fact that amortization includes amortization of deferred expenses – right of use and employee share-based compensation expenses, but Adjusted EBITDA is fully comparable to EBITDA information which has been previously provided by Partner for prior periods. Reconciliation between our net cash flow from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is presented in the attached summary financial results.

(1) Mainly employee share based compensation expenses
(2)Adjusted EBITDA as reviewed by the CODM, represents Earnings Before Interest (finance costs, net), Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization (including amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses-right of use, and share based compensation expenses) and impairment charges, as a measure of segment profit. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures in 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 employee share based compensation expenses; it is fully comparable to EBITDA information which has been previously provided for prior periods.
