At the end of March 2014, Telefónica Deutschland had 25.0 million customer accesses. The mobile access base stood at 19.3 million, while fixed line accesses amounted to 5.7 million. Non-SMS data revenues registered growth of 12.1% year-on-year in the first quarter representing 72.0% of total data revenues in the quarter, an increase of 8.6 percentage points compared to prior year. Mobile data continued to be a main driver for revenue performance, reaching 350 million Euro in the first quarter, with the accelerated decline of SMS revenues (-24.6% year-on-year) being the reason for an overall decline of data revenues of 1.3% year-on-year. Telefónica Deutschland's total revenues reached 1,122 million Euro in the first quarter of 2014, representing a decline of 8.8% year-on-year (-8.7% excluding the impact from mobile termination rate cuts). Wireless service revenues showed similar performance to the previous quarter reaching 707 million Euro (-3.6% year-on-year in reported terms; -3.4% year-on-year excluding the impact from mobile termination rate cuts). Wireline revenues amounted to 293 million Euro in the quarter, already showing a better sequential trend (-7.0% year-on-year, vs. -9.2% in the previous quarter), reflecting a lower retail DSL base which is partly mitigated by an increasing uptake of VDSL.
