We are proud that Partner Communications was recently included in the new NASDAQ Global Select Market, an additional recognition of the Company’s commitment to its shareholders to maintain the highest financial and liquidity requirements as well as world-class corporate governance standards.”

Financial Review

Partner’s Q2 2006 revenues amounted to NIS 1,372.9 million (US$ 309.2 million), up 9.8% compared with NIS 1,250.9 million in Q2 2005 and also up 3.5% compared with NIS 1,326.6 million in Q1 2006. The rise in total revenues compared with both Q2 2005 and Q1 2006 resulted primarily from growth in service revenues (NIS 1,244.5 million (US$ 280.3 million) in Q2 2006, up by 8.6% from NIS 1,145.6 million in Q2 2005, and by 5.1% from NIS 1,184.2 million in Q1 2006). Both increases reflected the growth in the subscriber base and in the average number of minutes of use, but were partially offset by the full quarterly effect of the approximate 7% reduction in interconnection tariffs that went into effect in March 2006.

Equipment revenues increased by 22.1% from NIS 105.2 million in Q2 2005 to NIS 128.5 million (US$ 28.9 million) in Q2 2006. The increase was driven by an increase in the average revenue per handset sale primarily as a result of the increased proportion of 3G handsets sold compared with 2G handsets. Compared with Q1 2006, equipment revenues decreased by 9.8%, primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of 2G sales to new and upgrading subscribers.

Content and data revenues in Q2 2006 accounted for 8.9% of total revenues and 9.9% of service revenues, up from 7.3% of total revenues and 8.0% of service revenues in Q2 2005, despite the mandated 49% reduction in SMS interconnection tariffs which went into effect in March 2006, and a slight decrease from 9.0% of total revenues and 10.1% of service revenues in Q1 2006. Compared with Q2 2005, non-SMS data and content revenues increased in Q2 2006 by 41.4%.

2



The cost of revenues related to services amounted to NIS 772.5 million (US$ 174.0 million) in Q2 2006, an increase of 5.9% from NIS 729.5 million in Q2 2005, and of 3.7% from NIS 744.7 million in Q1 2006. The increase from both quarters was principally due to higher variable airtime costs resulting from the growth in total number of minutes.

In Q2 2006, the cost of revenues related to equipment increased by 7.3% to NIS 169.4 million (US$ 38.2 million) compared to NIS 157.9 million in Q2 2005. The rise was primarily driven by a higher average cost of handsets sold, explained by the increased proportion of 3G handsets sold compared with 2G handsets. Compared with Q1 2006, the cost of revenues related to equipment in Q2 2006 decreased by 18.3% from NIS 207.4 million, principally a reflection of the decrease in the number of 2G handsets sold.

Gross profit on services increased by 13.4% from NIS 416.1 million in Q2 2005 to NIS 472.0 million (US$ 106.3 million) in Q2 2006, and by 7.4% from NIS 439.5 million in Q1 2006. Gross loss on equipment totaled NIS 41.0 million (US$ 9.2 million) in Q2 2006, a decrease of 22.2% from NIS 52.7 million in Q2 2005 and a decrease of 36.9% from NIS 65.0 million in Q1 2006.

Overall, gross profit in Q2 2006 amounted to NIS 431.0 million (US$ 97.1 million), representing a gross margin of 31.4% of total revenues, up 18.6% from NIS 363.4 million in Q2 2005 and up 15.1% from NIS 374.5 million in Q1 2006.

Selling and marketing expenses were NIS 75.6 million (US$ 17.0 million) in Q2 2006, an increase of 15.5% from NIS 65.4 million in Q2 2005 and an increase of 32.0% from NIS 57.3 million in Q1 2006. The increase compared with Q2 2005 was primarily due to higher distribution costs and advertising activity. Compared with Q1 2006, the increase was due to the timing of advertising campaigns.

3



In Q2 2006, general and administrative expenses totaled NIS 44.0 million (US$ 9.9 million), a decrease of 4.8% from NIS 46.2 million in Q2 2005 and approximately equivalent to NIS 43.7 million in Q1 2006.

Overall, operating profit in the second quarter of 2006 was NIS 311.5 million (US$ 70.2 million), or 22.7% of total revenues, an increase of 23.7% from NIS 251.8 million or 20.1% of total revenues in Q2 2005, and an increase of 13.9% from NIS 273.5 million or 20.6% of total revenues in Q1 2006. Quarterly EBITDA in Q2 2006 increased to NIS 473.2 million or US$ 106.6 million, compared with NIS 420.8 million in Q2 2005 and NIS 438.6 million in Q1 2006. The EBITDA margin was 34.5% of total revenues in Q2 2006, compared with 33.6% in Q2 2005 and 33.1% in Q1 2006.

Financial expenses in Q2 2006 were NIS 61.2 million (US$ 13.8 million), a decrease of 26.1% from NIS 82.8 million in Q2 2005, primarily reflecting lower interest expenses resulting from the refinancing of the Company’s long term debt with lower cost CPI linked shekel-denominated debt, despite the average higher debt levels in Q2 2006. Compared with Q1 2006, financial expenses increased by 58.4% from NIS 38.6 million, principally explained by a NIS 24.6 million expense resulting from the higher CPI level in Q2 2006 of 1.2% compared with 0.1% in Q1 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the Company held CPI forward contracts covering approximately 65% of its CPI exposure to changes.

Q2 2006 net income amounted to NIS 174.2 million (US$ 39.2 million), representing an increase of 50.4% from NIS 115.8 million in Q2 2005, and an increase of 8.6% from NIS 160.4 million in Q1 2006.

Based on the average number of shares outstanding during the quarter, basic earnings per share or ADS were NIS 1.14 (26 US cents) in Q2 2006, up 56.2% from NIS 0.73 in Q2 2005 resulting from the 50.4% increase in net income and the lower average shares outstanding following the share repurchase in 2005. Compared with Q1 2006, basic earnings per share or ADS were up 8.6% in Q2 2006 from NIS 1.05 in Q1 2006. Fully diluted earnings per share or ADS in Q2 2006 were NIS 1.13 (25 US cents), up from NIS 0.72 in Q2 2005 and from NIS 1.05 in Q1 2006.

Funding and Investing Review

In Q2 2006, cash flows generated from operating activities, net of cash flows from investing activities, totaled NIS 230.5 million (US$ 51.9 million), a 73.5% increase compared with NIS 132.8 million in Q2 2005, and a 236.9% increase compared with NIS 68.4 million in Q1 2006. The increase compared with Q2 2005 resulted from higher operating cash flows together with lower payments for investments in fixed assets. Compared with Q1 2006, the increase was primarily attributable to an increase in operating cash flows.

Net investment in fixed assets in Q2 2006 totaled NIS 76.6 million (US$ 17.3 million), a decrease of 45.0% from NIS 139.4 million in Q2 2005 and an increase of 13.2% from NIS 67.7 million in Q1 2006.

On July 6th, 2006, Partner completed the acquisition of the transmission activity of MED1 I.C.-1 (1999) Ltd., including approximately 900 kilometers of transmission fiber, for cash consideration of approximately US$15 million.

The Board of Directors has approved the distribution of an interim quarterly cash dividend for Q2 2006 of NIS 0.45 per share (approximately NIS 70 million or US$ 15.8 million) to shareholders and ADS holders on record as of August 17th, 2006. The Company will pay dividend on September 04, 2006.

Operational Review

As of June 30, 2006 the Company reported an active subscriber base of approximately 2,585,000, consisting of approximately 557,000 business subscribers, accounting for 21% of the base, approximately 1,260,000 postpaid private subscribers, or 49% of the base, and approximately 768,000 prepaid subscribers, or 30% of the base. Of the Company’s subscriber base at the end of Q2 2006, approximately 165,000 were 3G subscribers. We estimate our total market share at the end of Q2 2006 to have been around 32%.

The Company’s net active subscriber base grew by approximately 25,000 in Q2 2006, including a net increase in active 3G subscribers of approximately 35,000 (including both new subscribers and migrating subscribers from 2G). The Q2 2006 increase in the overall subscriber base was lower than the increases of 37,000 and 31,000 in Q2 2005 and Q1 2006 respectively, due primarily to the highly penetrated nature of the market. The quarterly churn rate increased from 3.6% in Q2 2005 to 3.8% in Q2 2006, and decreased from 4.2% compared to Q1 2006.

5



In Q2 2006, the average minutes of use per subscriber amounted to 307 minutes per month, compared with 296 minutes in Q2 2005 and 301 minutes in Q1 2006. ARPU (Average Revenue per User) in Q2 2006 was approximately NIS 158 (US$ 36), roughly equivalent to NIS 157 in Q2 2005, but higher than NIS 152 in Q1 2006.

Outlook and Guidance

Commenting on the Company’s results, Alan Gelman, Partner’s Chief Financial Officer, said: “The results this quarter were particularly strong, with improvements in all key margins, and strong service revenues and usage patterns from both 2G and 3G subscribers.”

Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Mr. Gelman said, “In light of the Company’s performance over the past two quarters, we are updating our guidance for the second half of the year, and now expect the improved trends of the first half to continue through the second half of the year, the qualification being that total equipment subsidies may be higher depending on 3G handset availability and prices. Regarding the impact of the current regional hostilities, based on current information and assuming hostilities cease in the near term, we do not believe the impact on results will be significant. However, service revenues may rise as a result of increased usage, while new subscriber activations may be dampened.”

Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the results currently expected. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

the effects of the high degree of regulation in the telecommunications market in which we operate;

regulatory developments relating to tariffs, including interconnect tariffs;

the requirement to indemnify planning committees in respect of claims made against them relating to the depreciation of property values or to alleged health damages resulting from antenna sites;

alleged health risks related to antenna sites and use of telecommunication devices;

the effects of vigorous competition in the market in which we operate and for more valuable customers, which may decrease prices charged, increase churn and change our customer mix, profitability and average revenue per user, and the response of competitors to industry and regulatory developments;

uncertainties about the degree of growth in the number of consumers in Israel using wireless personal communications services and the growth in the Israeli population;

the risks associated with the implementation of a third generation (3G) network and business strategy, including risks relating to the operations of new systems and technologies, potential unanticipated costs, uncertainties regarding the adequacy of suppliers on whom we must rely to provide both network and consumer equipment and consumer acceptance of the products and services to be offered, and the risk that the use of internet search engines by our 3G customers will be restricted;

the risks associated with technological requirements, technology substitution and changes and other technological developments;

the impact of existing and new competitors in the market in which we compete, including competitors that may offer less expensive products and services, desirable or innovative products, technological substitutes, or have extensive resources or better financing;

regulatory developments related to the implementation of number portability;

fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;

the possibility of the market in which we compete being impacted by changes in political, economic or other factors, such as monetary policy, legal and regulatory changes or other external factors over which we have no control;

the availability and cost of capital and the consequences of increased leverage; and

the results of litigation filed or that may be filed against us,

as well as the risks discussed in Risk Factors, Information on the Company and Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 18, 2006. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The convenience translations of the Nominal New Israeli Shekel (NIS) figures into US Dollars were made at the rate of exchange prevailing at June 30th, 2006: US $1.00 equals NIS 4.440. The translations were made purely for the convenience of the reader.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, exceptional items and capitalization of intangible assets (‘EBITDA’) is presented because it is a measure commonly used in the telecommunications industry and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company’s operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the year as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company. Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results.

Reconciliation between our cash flows from operating activities and EBIDTA is presented in the attached summary financial results.
