Oi S.A. discloses its results today for the second quarter of 2013. This report includes consolidated financial and operating data for Oi S.A. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013. In compliance with CVM instructions, the data are presented in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS).
Following approval of the corporate restructuring on February 27, 2012, the shareholders of Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (TNL), Coari Participações S.A. (Coari) and Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (TMAR) became shareholders of Oi S.A., TNLs and Coaris shares were extinguished and TMAR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oi S.A. The earnings presented herein represent Oi S.A. (the remaining company and new name of Brasil Telecom S.A.) for the period ended June 30, 2013. However, in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Companys performance, we have prepared pro forma consolidated earnings for the first half of 2012, which are equivalent to operating figures, revenue, costs and expenses (EBITDA), and investments of TNL, as if the mergers had taken place on January 1, 2012.
Due to the seasonality of the telecom sector in its quarterly results, the Company will focus the comparison of its financial results with the similar period of the prior year.

2Q13
| In 2Q13 Ois net revenue increased 2.4% year-over-year (2Q13 over 2Q12), totaling R$7.1 billion, mainly due to the expansion of pay TV and broadband in the Residential segment, together with higher data and IT revenues from the Corporate segment. |
| EBITDA totaled R$1.8 billion in the quarter, impacted by higher provisions for bad debt and increased marketing and personnel expenses. |
| Revenue Generating Units (RGUs) grew 3.3% over 2Q12 and remained stable in the quarter, totaling 74.8 million at the end of June 2013: |
| Residential: 2.2% year-over-year RGU growth with low fixed line attrition and growth in broadband and pay TV. |
| Personal Mobility: 3.8% year-over-year growth, with recent tightening of credit requirements and revised offerings aimed at improving the profitability of the base. |
| Corporate / SMEs: 4.6% year-over-year RGU growth, driven by the SMEs segments broadband increase and the Corporate segments increase in mobile and advanced voice. |

Asset Disposals
Oi has entered into several agreements to divest of non-strategic assets since the end of last year, including the sale of approximately 1,200 mobile phone towers, the rights of use for approximately 6,300 fixed line towers, and the sale of its underwater cable company, GlobeNet.
The objective of these transactions is to monetize assets that are not essential to the Companys operations, in order to increase Ois financial flexibility, obtain savings once the Company will acquire the related service in more favorable financial conditions and add value for its shareholders, and add value for its shareholders.
The above mentioned transactions will result in additional lease costs to the Company and it will not be able to rely upon future revenues from these assets. On the other hand, these transactions will bring savings in terms of capex and maintenance costs related to these assets. Therefore, once these transactions are completed, the Companys results will be subject to the effects of the above-mentioned items, net of taxes.
The cost of these transactions between 8% and 9% (including costs, expenses, Capex and fiscal effects) is lower than the Companys average funding costs, which demonstrates Ois financial discipline. Additionally, it is important to mention that the Company estimates an impact of approximately R$550 million in the 2014 EBITDA due to these transactions.
The table below shows more details regarding these previously-announced transactions:

Amendment to the Shareholder Compensation Policy for the Fiscal Years of 2013-2016
In compliance with the provisions of CVM Instruction No. 358/02, Oi has disclosed to its shareholders and the market in general that its Board of Directors, in light of current macroeconomic environment, financial market conditions and the need to invest in the development of the business, decided to strengthen the Companys financial flexibility and modify its Shareholder Compensation Policy (Compensation Policy) disclosed in the Material Fact dated April 17, 2012.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors amended the Compensation Policy, and approved that, for the fiscal years 2013 to 2016, dividends be paid in the estimated amount of R$500 million, which represents approximately the minimum amount necessary to currently meet the following objectives: (1) pay dividends in the amount equivalent to the greatest of (i) 25% of adjusted net income for the year, (ii) 3% of shareholders equity, and (iii) 6% of the capital stock; and (2) ensure equitable pay between species of preferred and common shares.
Payment of intermediate or interim dividends will also be permitted, subject to market conditions, Ois then-prevailing financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
The compensation to shareholders may be implemented through the distribution of dividends, payment of interest on capital, share grants or redemption, capital reduction or other forms that enable the distribution of funds to shareholders.
With respect to shareholder compensation for the 2013 fiscal year, the Board of Directors has decided that by October 2013 it will resolve upon the payment of interim dividends in the aggregate amount of R$500 million, which will be allocated to the Companys income reserve account and considered as part of the dividends for the 2013 fiscal year under Brazilian law.
The Company remains confident about its future business prospects and believes that the increase of financial flexibility reduces financial risks and enables the Company to execute its strategy and develop its business while maintaining its long-term competitive position.
Change to Guidance Disclosure Practice
In compliance with the provisions of CVM Instruction No. 358/02, considering the recent volatility in the macroeconomic environment, especially with respect to the indices used as premises to support the disclosure of projections about future performance (guidance) exchange rate, interest rates and GDP growth , Oi has disclosed to its shareholders and the market in general that the Company has decided to discontinue the disclosure of such projections, to enhance the Companys ability to respond to market changes quickly and efficiently and balance its investments in relation to the objective of reinforcing the Companys financial flexibility.

ARPU Residential (R$) |
70.2 | 64.5 | 68.8 | 8.8 | % | 2.0 | % |
The significant increase in pay TV and broadband, successful customer retention plans and higher ARPU within the residential portfolio contributed to the YoY growth in residential revenue
Net revenue from the Residential segment totaled R$2.6 billion in 2Q13, up 4.5% compared to 2Q12, reflecting increased sales of bundled services (broadband and pay TV), which continue to generate customer loyalty and higher average revenue per unit. In 2Q13, the fixed line attrition was offset again by higher revenue from broadband and pay TV. Residential ARPU reached R$70.2 in 2Q13, 8.8% above the R$64.5 reported in 2Q12 and a sequential improve on quarter of 2.0%.
At the end of 2Q13, Oi had 18,438 thousand RGUs in the Residential segment, equivalent to year-over-year growth of 2.2%, as a result of the expansion of pay TV (84.8%), the continued growth in fixed broadband (+10.2%) and the mitigation of fixed line attrition. Revenues benefited from Ois unique introductory offer in the pay TV market, the Companys ongoing expansion efforts and improved broadband network, and successful initiatives to retain wireline customers.
Volume of net disconnections in the wireline base remained low compared to historical levels
Oi had 12,242 thousand Residential wireline customers at the end of 2Q13. Ois net disconnections in the last 12 months amounted to 502,000 wirelines, relatively flat compared to recent quarters, but below historic levels.
In order to maintain current attrition levels in wireline, the Company implements initiatives focused on cross selling and retention. Cross selling actions involve offering products that are most suitable to the customers current profile. With this in mind, the options offered by our sales teams include redesigning customers wireline plans, selling new broadband subscriptions and adding pay TV to customers bundled services.
In addition to retention and profitability initiatives, under-contract plans, which offer discounts on monthly bills to customers who remain in the base for the entire term of their 12-month contracts, have been essential in maintaining low disconnection levels. This type of plan has been an important driver of gross additions and represents an increasing percentage of the current customer base.

Broadband grew 10.2% YoY, registering a household penetration of 43% (+5.7 p.p. in 12 months)
Oi ended the second quarter with 5,296 thousand fixed broadband RGUs in the Residential segment, up 10.2% over 2Q12. In the last 12 months, this products net additions came to 490,000, which, together with pay TV, drove the increase in Residential RGUs by the same measurement (401,000 RGUs in 12 months). The Company supports this product by investments in expansion and network quality, speed upgrades, and loyalty programs that include promotional offers to customers that remain in the base for twelve months.
Investments in broadband network expansion and in speed upgrades in order to build customer retention and profitability have significantly increased the speed of residential broadband connections. In 2Q13, the average speed for residential broadband customers was 3.5 Mbps, 30% higher than 2.7 Mbps registered in 2Q12. The share of RGUs with speed equal to or higher than 5 Mbps increased by 9 p.p. year-over-year, ending June 2013 at 36%. Additionally, 17% of broadband RGUs had speed equal to or higher than 10 Mbps.
Pay TV registered a 84.8% YoY growth, reaching a household penetration of 7.3%
Oi ended the 2013 second quarter with a pay TV base of 900,000 RGUs, 84.8% higher than in the previous year. The penetration of Oi TV in households that have Oi products was 7.3% at the end of 2Q13, compared to 3.8% at the end of 2Q12, growth of 3.5 p.p., driven by a highly-attractive introductory offer with HD channels. This trend is very important to the retention and loyalty of residential customers, two elements that are critical to maintaining sustained residential ARPU growth.
The satellite leased by Oi (SES-6) to increase its DTH capacity went into orbit in June 2013. The SES-6 satellite will not only improve signal quality and coverage, but also increase Oi TVs capacity to offer more channels in its programming schedule and to include new pay-per-view and interactive services. The additional capacity provided by the SES-6 satellite supports Ois pay TV via DTH growth over the medium and long term.
Oi continues to develop the IPTV pilot project through the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology, which is available currently in certain neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro. The offering is comprised of ultra-broadband connections of up to 200 Mbps and IPTV plans.
Residential ARPU continues to grow due to the progressive increase in the number of homes with more than one Oi product
Residential ARPU is calculated by dividing the Residential segments total revenue by the average number of households served by Oi. Residential revenue is derived from wireline services, fixed broadband and pay TV.
The Company ended the second quarter with 12,346 thousand homes connected to the network, of which 57%, or 6,988 thousand, had more than one Oi product. The percentage of homes with more than one product moved up by 6.0 p.p. over 2Q12, which drove an 8.8% year-over-year increase in Ois residential ARPU to R$70.2 in 2Q13. This performance resulted from the substantial growth in fixed broadband and pay TV (both in number of RGUs and average revenue per user), as well as the success of loyalty and retention initiatives in reducing losses in the wireline customer base.

Data usage contributed to the YoY revenue increase despite the reduction in interconnection fees
Net revenue from the Personal Mobility segment totaled R$2.3 billion in 2Q13, up by R$26 million (+1.2%) over 2Q12.
Services revenue totaled R$1.6 billion in 2Q13, 4.0% ahead of 2Q12. The highlight was data revenue (mobile internet, broadband plans, SMS and value added services), which posted a 60% year-over-year increase, mostly due to: (i) initiatives to increase the penetration of data usage in the customer base, and (ii) the continuous expansion of 3G coverage, with an increase of 529 municipalities covered in the last twelve months (annual growth of 155%), reaching 76% of the urban population.
Net revenue from handset sales totaled R$128 million, a year-over-year decline of R$6 million, due to lower sales volume.
Oi ended the second quarter with 46,896 thousand RGUs in the Personal Mobility segment, up by 3.8% from 2Q12. On a year-over-year basis, this increase was equivalent to 1,698 thousand net additions, of which 870,000 were postpaid RGUs and 828,000 were prepaid.
Postpaid
Oi ended June 2013 with 6,661 thousand postpaid RGUs in the Personal Mobility segment, a 15.0% increase over 2Q12. The postpaid segment represented 14.2% of the Personal Mobility base at the end of 2Q13, ahead of 2Q12 (12.8%).
In order to increase its focus on profitable growth, Oi has repositioned its pricing in certain markets while maintaining product competitiveness. Additionally, the Company has tightened its credit requirements for new postpaid customers in order to adapt to the countrys current macroeconomic conditions (lower GDP growth, reduced individual and corporate confidence levels and higher bad debt). The objective of these actions is to improve the quality of new customers by reducing the number of higher risk customers and to increase product profitability.
The continued reduction in this segments churn was due largely to the increased effectiveness of the Companys
08/13/2013 | 11 |
customer loyalty programs. With under-contract plans (12-month contracts with discounts on monthly bills) increasing as a percentage of gross additions, voluntary churn declined year-over-year, both in terms of postpaid customers and of customers with mobile access through Oi Conta Total.
Prepaid
The prepaid base ended the first half of 2013 with 40,235 thousand RGUs, an increase of 828,000 RGUs over 2Q12. Gross recharge volume was up 7% year-on-year, well above the 2% increase in prepaid RGUs that was reported over the same period. Our prepaid base is concentrated on more active customers who frequently recharge their accounts, which demonstrates the Companys focus on profitable growth.
Mobile data consumption on prepaid lines continues to grow consistently in terms of SMS and mobile internet, as a result of add-on packages that complement customers original plans.
In the second quarter, the Company launched a pilot platform project to manage recharge campaigns. This tool creates, executes and manages customized campaigns for prepaid and control customers (one-on-one marketing concept). The tool is capable of sending real time messages to stimulate recharges and sales of add-on packages based on the customers profile and context, making the offerings more relevant.
Other important growth drivers in the prepaid segment were Ois strong and efficient presence in national retail sales points (large retailers) and the expanded network of SIM card and recharge sales points, reinforcing customer relationships and providing additional convenience.
Total Mobile Base
At the end of June 2013, Ois mobile customer base (Personal Mobility + Corporate / SMEs) totaled 49,730 thousand RGUs, of which 46,896 thousand were in Personal Mobility and 2,834 thousand were in Corporate / SMEs. Ois gross and net additions totaled 6.1 million and 215 thousand, respectively, in 2Q13.
In the second quarter, the Company took steps to increase its focus on profitable growth with initiatives for the prepaid and Controle - a strict disconnection policy and targeted direct marketing actions - and for the postpaid, through tightening the credit requirements, and making price adjustments to fit the dynamics of each region. In addition, 3G access and data continued to show increased penetration of the customer base, supporting ongoing revenue growth in the mobile segment.
3G coverage with continued robust growth and launch of 4G LTE offer
Oi ended the quarter with 3G coverage in 870 municipalities (76% of the urban population), an increase of 155%, or 529 municipalities, over June 2012. This improvement is key to increasing data penetration in the customer base and sustaining consistent revenue growth in the mobile data segment.
In the second quarter, Oi launched the 4G LTE data package in the six cities that hosted FIFAs Confederations Cup (Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador, Recife and Fortaleza).
08/13/2013 | 12 |
Mobile ARPU
Mobile ARPU takes total mobile revenue (Personal Mobility + Corporate / SMEs) into account as if it was a separate mobile company, which means it includes revenue from the traffic between the mobile and wireline divisions (intercompany). Following the same logic, revenue from mobile long-distance calls in the STFC license (fixed voice concession) is not included in that calculation. The amount is then divided by the average base to calculate the mobile ARPU.
Mobile ARPU was R$20.0 in 2Q13, 6.5% less than in 2Q12, due to lower interconnection revenue (MTR cuts) which was partially offset by the growth in postpaid revenues and the increase in the recharge levels of the pre-paid base. As an integrated telecom services company, the MTR cuts had a neutral net impact on Ois consolidated results, as they also reduced interconnection costs for the fixed-to-mobile calls.

YoY growth in RGUs led by broadband in SMEs and mobile and voice in Corporate
Oi ended 2Q13 with 8,755 thousand RGUs in the Corporate / SMEs segment, up 4.6% year-on-year, representing growth across all service lines. Net revenue totaled R$2.2 billion, up R$84 million, or 4.1% from 2Q12, particularly due to the increase in the mobile base and the increased use of data services.
SMEs
The second quarter performance of the SMEs segment was marked by growth in the broadband base and the continued expansion of the wireline base (basic voice and digital trunking).
The increase in the wireline base (voice and broadband) resulted from sales force training programs and better targeting within the sales channels. Growth in the second quarter also benefited from higher value-added offerings designed to protect the client base.
In order to boost profitability, introductory offers were revised to increase the share of higher-value clients as a percentage of sales, including offers to upgrade consumption plans and broadband speeds.
By the end of June 2013, the number of RGUs in the wireline base (basic and advanced voice) moved up by 4.3% over June 2012, which indicates that the fall-off in this base has been reversed. Ois broadband base ended the period up 10.7% over 2Q12, showing the ongoing expansion of fixed broadband in the SMEs segment.
SMEs mobile declined 4.9% year-over-year, due to the adverse economic scenario, which compromised the payment capacity of certain SME customers, leading to higher bad debt rates and consequently higher involuntary disconnections.
The Company has adopted measures to protect the financial results and profitability of the base, by realigning prices and tightening credit policies to reflect the current economic scenario in Brazil.
Corporate
An important second-quarter highlight in the Corporate segment was the appointment of Oi as the official provider of telecom and IT services of FIFAs Confederations Cup occurred during June 2013. Oi served the organizing committee and FIFA in two different ways: FITS (FIFAs corporate network) and Media Services (internet and phone solution for the media public).
With FITS, Oi offered data and voice communication solutions to meet FIFAs communication needs (corporate
08/13/2013 | 14 |
network, accrediting and ticket management) in several locations, such as stadiums, venue ticketing centers, airports, and FIFAs administrative points, among others. Media Services involved transmission and infrastructure for the journalists covering the event in stadiums and media centers. These services included data communication links and solutions and an operation dedicated to the services rendered.
The organizing committee recognized the high quality of the services rendered by Oi, with great praise given to the professionals and to the resources made available by the Company.
The operating performance highlights of 2Q13 compared to 2Q12 were the significant growth in postpaid voice (+28.7%), VPN networking (+23.0%), internet access (+39.0%), and fixed digital trunking (+20.6%). This performance illustrates the segments success in increasing data, advanced voice and postpaid communication.

Note: Results for 1H12 are pro forma.
Second-quarter operating costs and expenses totaled R$5.3 billion, a 10.8% increase as compared to 2Q12. This performance is primarily due to the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions directly impacting bad debt, and by the increased marketing activity related to the FIFAs Confederations Cup, as well as higher personnel expenses in line with the ongoing insourcing process of some core activities.
Interconnection
Interconnection costs remained stable compared to 2Q12 (-0.6%), at R$1.1 billion for 2Q13. This performance resulted from the reduction in mobile interconnection costs, due to the decrease of the MTR, which was offset by an increase in wireline termination costs and SMS interconection costs.
Personnel
Personnel expenses reached R$734 million in 2Q13, up 42.5% year-over-year. The workforce increase is related with the ongoing insourcing process of part of Ois internal network maintenance operations, together with the payment of wage benefits effected in 2Q13. Additionally, the annual collective bargaining impact on payroll costs (adjusted to inflation for the period) affected the year-over-year comparison.
Third Party Services
Second quarter 2013 third party service costs were R$2.1 billion, up 3.6% year-over-year. This increase was chiefly due to the acquisition of more content for pay TV (as the average RGU base nearly doubled in the period). Another factor was cost readjustments with suppliers of external network maintenance, aimed at improving service quality, which more than offset the reduction resulting from the ongoing insourcing process. Additionally, there was also the impact of implementation of the BPO project for the outsourcing of back office operations at the end of 2Q12
Advertising
In 2Q13, advertising expenses increased 45.8%, year-over-year, to R$210 million, mainly due to higher media expenses related to Ois sponsorship of FIFAs Confederations Cup, for which the Company was also appointed as the official provider of telecom and IT services.
08/13/2013 | 16 |
Rent and Insurance
Rent and Insurance expenses totaled R$506 million in the quarter, a year-on-year increase of 14.0%, due to the increase in both operational leasing of network infrastructure (Right-of-Way and Poles and leased lines) and real estate.
Provision for Bad Debt
The provision for bad debt totaled R$323 million in 2Q13, an increase of R$159 million (97.0%), YoY, and represented 4.6% of net revenues (vs. 2.4% in 2Q12). This is mainly due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic scenario (lower GDP and rising bad debt and household debt) that caused budget constraints for customers and certain public agencies. In order to prevent future bad debt, Oi put in place new rules that tightened its credit requirements for new customers.
Other Operating (Revenues) Expenses
Other net operating expenses amounted to R$175 million in 2Q13, a 27.4% decrease over 2Q12. This years figure was impacted by a reversal in amout of R$201 million due to the revised methodology used to calculate the provisions for losses on labor claims, including statistical models, based on the greater experience of the Company in this subject (this information is presented in the Notes to the Financial Statements).

On a consolidated basis, Oi incurred net financial expense of R$871 million in 2Q13, 14.6% above the previous quarter, due to the effects of the Real devaluation versus U.S. Dollar and the Euro (10.0% and 11.5%, respectively) as well as higher prevailing interest rates in the period. The Net FX result reflects worse conditions on mark-to-market of derivatives, as well as the impact of the devaluation of the Real on the 1.2% of the Companys gross debt that was exposed to the U.S. Dollar and the Euro in the quarter. The higher net interest expense was due to the Selic rate increase of 75 basis points by the Brazilian Central Bank in the period, and to an increase in net debt.

Consolidated gross debt was R$33.6 billion at June 30, 2013, stable with the previous quarter. The debt accrual was offset by amortizations and maturities for the quarter, associated with only one funding transaction held in the period, from the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN), in the amount of US$5.6 million to finance the Companys investment plans.
At the end of the quarter, 37.6% of the total debt was denominated in foreign currency. However, only an amount
08/13/2013 | 18 |
equivalent to R$415 million, or 1.2%, of the gross debt (1.0% in March, 2013 and 1.4% in December, 2012) was exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Derivative contracts (swaps and NDFs) and financial investments held in a foreign currency offer protection against currency fluctuations for the portion of the debt denominated in foreign currency.
The Company continues to pursue a financial strategy designed to improve its debt profile. At the end of the second quarter of 2013, the average maturity of debt was 4.7 years.

Net debt at the end of the second quarter, including the cash balance for the quarter of R$4.1 billion, totaled R$29.5 billion, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 7.3%. This was due to: (i) changes in working capital related to amounts for 3G (R$498 million) and 4G (R$332 million) licenses payments, FISTEL maintenance fee payment (R$652 million) and the biannual payment of the STFC concession (R$228 million); (ii) the impact of adverse macroeconomic conditions on financial results (exchange rate depreciation and higher interest rates), and; (iii) advances from the assignment of usage rights for approximately 4,200 fixed telephony towers, related to agreement signed in April 2013 (R$1.1 billion).
