Equity in earnings of unconsolidated businesses in 2009 decreased by $14 million compared to 2008. The decrease was primarily due to higher income tax benefits recorded at Vodafone Omnitel N.V. (Vodafone Omnitel) during 2008. Partially offsetting the decrease were higher earnings at Vodafone Omnitel as well as the devaluation of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated businesses in 2008 decreased by $18 million compared to 2007. The decrease was primarily driven by the gain on the sale of an international investment in 2007, partially offset by higher earnings at Vodafone Omnitel in 2008.

increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income, primarily from our investment in Alltel’s debt obligations. Partially offsetting the increase were foreign exchange losses at our international Wireline operations and an impairment
charge of $48 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008 related to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of our investments in certain marketable securities.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated businesses decreased by $188 million, or 24.3% in 2007 compared to 2006.

(Vodafone Omnitel).

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated businesses increased by $87 million, or 12.7% in 2006 compared to 2005. The increase is primarily due to additional pension liabilities that CANTV recognized in 2005, as well as the effect of favorable operating results and lower taxes in 2006. In addition, the increase reflects our proportionate share, or $85 million, of a tax benefit at Vodafone Omnitel in the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by a similar benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2005 of $76 million. This was offset by lower tax benefits and lower operating results at Vodafone Omnitel.
