Revenues of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 were NIS 2.42 billion ($683 million) compared to NIS 2.51 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 3.8%. The decrease was due to lower revenues in all group segments.
Salary expenses of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 were NIS 502 million ($142 million) compared to NIS 501 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 were NIS 956 million ($271 million) compared to NIS 994 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 3.8%. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a reduction in the operating expenses of the various Group subsidiaries, which was influenced by the early adoption of accounting standard IFRS 15.
Other operating income, net of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 amounted to NIS 23 million ($7 million) compared to NIS 26 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016. The decrease in other operating income was due to a NIS 11 million ($3 million) fine imposed by the Ministry of Communications as well as an increase in the provision for legal claims, partially offset by an increase in capital gains from the sale of real estate by Bezeq Fixed-Line.
Depreciation and amortization expenses of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 were NIS 436 million ($124 million) compared to NIS 442 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 1.4%. The decrease in depreciation expenses was due to a reduction in the amortization expenses related to the purchase price allocation recorded in connection with the increase in its ownership interest in Yes, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expenses in the cellular segment due to the early adoption of accounting standard IFRS 15.
Operating profit of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 was NIS 544 million ($154 million) compared to NIS 599 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 9.2%.
Financing expenses, net of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 amounted to NIS 94 million ($27 million) compared to NIS 104 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 9.6%. The decrease in financing expenses was primarily due lower expenses at Yes partially offset by an update in the estimated fair value of advanced payments made by the Bezeq Group to Eurocom DBS of NIS 13 million ($4 million).
Tax expenses of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 were NIS 128 million ($36 million) compared to NIS 99 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, an increase of 29.3%. The increase in tax expenses was due a decrease in tax expenses in the third quarter of 2016 as a result of tax adjustments in respect of prior years at Bezeq Fixed-Line.
Net profit of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 was NIS 322 million ($91 million) compared to NIS 394 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 18.3%. The decrease in net profit was due to the aforementioned reduction in revenues and increase in tax expenses.
EBITDA of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 was NIS 980 million ($278 million) (EBITDA margin of 40.6%) compared to NIS 1.04 billion (EBITDA margin of 41.5%) in the corresponding quarter of 2016, a decrease of 5.9%.
Cash flow from operating activities of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 was NIS 982 million ($278 million) compared to NIS 902 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, an increase of 8.9%. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was due to changes in working capital.
Payments for investments (Capex) of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 was NIS 353 million ($100 million) compared to NIS 349 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016.
Free cash flow of the Bezeq Group in the third quarter of 2017 was NIS 677 million ($192 million) compared to NIS 577 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, an increase of 17.3%. The increase in free cash flow was due to the aforementioned increase in cash flow from operating activities as well as an increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate due to timing differences.
Total debt of the Bezeq Group as of September 30, 2017 was NIS 11.5 billion ($3.3 billion) compared to NIS 11.2 billion as of September 30, 2016.
Net debt of the Bezeq Group as of September 30, 2017 was NIS 9.0 billion ($2.54 billion) compared to NIS 9.4 billion as of September 30, 2016.
Net debt to EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio of the Bezeq Group as of September 30, 2017, was 2.29, compared to 2.31 as of September 30, 2016.
ISA Investigation: The Company has been reporting the events concerning the investigation by the Israel Securities Authority ("ISA") relating to alleged improprieties surrounding the YES -Bezeq transaction and the transaction between YES and Space Communication Ltd. As reported, the investigation appears to focus on Bezeq's 2015 acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in its satellite TV unit, YES, from its then parent company, Eurocom DBS. Following initial reports concerning the investigation, civil claims with motions to certify the claims as class action lawsuits were filed in Israel against the Company, Bezeq and others. The Company is currently evaluating the claims and its course of action.
On November 6, 2017, the Securities Authority issued a press release indicating the conclusion of the Investigation and the transfer of the investigation file to the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office (Taxation and Economics). The District Attorney's Office is authorized to decide on further action at their discretion.
Notes:
Convenience translation to U.S Dollars
Unless noted specifically otherwise, the dollar denominated figures were converted to US$ using a convenience translation based on the New Israeli Shekel (NIS)/US$ exchange rate of NIS 3.529 = US$ 1 as published by the Bank of Israel for September 30, 2017.
Use of non-IFRS financial measures
We and the Bezeq Group's management regularly use supplemental non-IFRS financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. The following non-IFRS measures are provided in the press release and accompanying supplemental information because management believes these measurements provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the Bezeq Group's current and future operating cash flow performance and are useful for investors and financial institutions to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance:
-- EBITDA - defined as net profit plus income tax expenses, share of loss
in equity accounted investee, net financing expenses and depreciation
and amortization;
-- EBITDA trailing twelve months - defined as net profit plus income tax
expenses, share of loss in equity accounted investee, net financing
expenses and depreciation and amortization during last twelve months;
-- Net debt - defined as long and short term bank loans and debentures
minus cash and cash equivalents and short term investments;
-- Net debt to EBITDA ratio - defined as net debt divided by the trailing
twelve months EBITDA;
-- Free Cash Flow (FCF) - defined as cash from operating activities less
cash used for the purchase/sale of property, plant and equipment, and
intangible assets, net.
These non-IFRS financial measures may differ materially from the non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies.
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 profit 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.
Management of Bezeq believes that free cash flow is an important measure of its liquidity as well as its ability to service long-term debt, fund future growth and to provide a return to shareholders. We also believe this free cash flow definition does not have any material limitations. Free cash flow is a financial index which is not based on IFRS. Free cash flow is defined as cash from operating activities less cash for the purchase/sale of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, net.
Bezeq also uses net debt and the net debt to EBITDA trailing twelve months ratio to analyze its financial capacity for further leverage and in analyzing the company's business and financial condition. Net debt reflects long and short term liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents and investments.
Reconciliations between the Bezeq Group's results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis with respect to these non-IFRS measurements are provided in tables immediately following the Company's consolidated results. The 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.

In connection with the issuance of the Series D Debentures in 2014, we undertook to comply with the "hybrid model disclosure requirements" as determined by the Israeli Securities Authority and as described in the prospectus governing our Series D Debentures.
This model provides that in the event certain financial "warning signs" exist, and for as long as they exist, we will be subject to certain disclosure obligations towards the holders of our Series D Debentures.
In examining the existence of warning signs as of September 30, 2017, our board of directors noted that our consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as well as our separate internal (unpublished) unaudited financial information as of and for the three months period ended September 30, 2017 reflect that we had a continuing negative cash flow from operating activities of NIS 1 million in the third quarter of 2017.
The Israeli regulations provide that the existence of a continuing negative cash flow from operating activities could be deemed to be a "warning sign" unless our board of directors determines that the possible "warning sign" does not reflect a liquidity problem.
Such continuing negative cash flow from operating activities results from the general operating expenses of the Company of NIS 1 million in the third quarter of 2017 and due to the fact that the Company, as a holding company, does not have any cash inflows from operating activities. Our main source of cash inflows is generated from dividends (classified as cash flow from investing activities) or debt issuances (classified as cash flow from financing activities). We did not have any such inflows in the third quarter of 2017.
Such continuing negative cash flow from operating activities does not effect our liquidity in any manner. Our board of directors reviewed our financial position, outstanding debt obligations and our existing and anticipated cash resources and uses and determined that the existence of the continuing negative cash flow from operating activities, as mentioned above, does not reflect a liquidity problem.
