oTotal accesses registered increase of 3.3% over the first quarter of 2013, totaling 78,465 thousand accesses. Worthy of mention is the postpaid segment, which grew by 27.6% y-o-y with 24,912 thousand accesses, increasing the postpaid customer mix to 31.7%, an increase of 6.1 p.p. in the annual comparison.

 

o Total market share came to 28.7% in 1Q14 (+0.2 p.p. q-o-q). In the postpaid segment Telefonica Brasil achieved 65.6% of the net additions of the quarter, recording a market share of 40.6% (+0.8 p.p. q-o-q), reflecting the quality differential presented by the Company. Vivo leads in number of terminals with LTE technology, with 41.3% of market share, and the customer base with 4G plans reaches 1.4 million in 1Q14.

 

o In the data cards segment, Telefônica increased its market share to 51.4%, +0.6 p.p. over the previous quarter, recording 3.9 p.p annual growth. Such growth is mainly leveraged by the differentiated 3G and HSPA+ coverage nationwide.

o In the machine-to-machine (M2M) market the accesses base continued to grow, reaching 2.6 million customers in March, an increase of 11.4% over the previous quarter.

o In 1Q14, mobile net additions recorded 1,220 thousand accesses, with postpaid net additions recording 1,219 thousand accesses, a growth of 70.4% over the same period of last year.

o ARPU reached R$23.3, growing 0.7% over 1Q13, even despite the MTR reductions in the period, mainly due to the increase in data revenues resulting from the volume of sales of modems and data plans tied to smartphones. Excluding the regulatory impact, ARPU would have recorded annual growth of 3.8% in the period.

o Despite the current restrictive disconnection policy, the prepaid customer base remained stable over the previous quarter, a positive effect of the segment's new offer and campaign, launched in January 2014. The increase in the migration of most active prepaid customers to postpaid plans and the reduction in the economic growth were reflected in the annual evolution of prepaid recharge volume.

Note: In order to better reflect the performance of the integrated Company, the revenues are presented after intercompany. Additionally, the Mobile Net Revenue considers the allocation of long distance revenues per call origination.

 

Net mobile revenues recorded growth of 2.2% in the annual comparison, leveraged by increased data and VAS (Value Added Services) revenues. Over the same period of last year, Mobile service revenue increased by 3.3% in 1Q14. By excluding the regulatory impact of the MTR drops, the mobile net service revenue in 1Q14 would have increased by 6.5% y-o-y.

 

4

 

 

 

 

Access and usage revenue increased by 1.8% compared to 1Q13. This performance reflects the postpaid customer base increase in the "Vivo Ilimitado" plans, despite the reduction in prepaid recharges evolution.

Network usage revenue fell by 25.8% over 1Q13, chiefly due to the MTR reductions in April 2013 (-11.8%) and February 2014 (-25.0%). By normalizing this effect, this reduction came to 7.5%.

Data and VAS revenue continued to record a good performance in 1Q14, with growth of 20.6% y-o-y, basically due to the increase in sales of modems and data packages, in addition to the higher penetration of smartphones within our customer base. In 1Q14, Data and VAS revenue accounted for 34.7% of the net mobile service revenue, an annual increase of 5.0 p.p.. Considering outgoing revenue only, Data and VAS accounted for 39.6% in 1Q14.

SMS revenue decreased by 16.4% y-o-y, reflecting the maturity of the service and increased adhesion to SMS, voice and data integrated offers, which add more value to customers.

Mobile internet revenue maintained high level growth, increasing 34.9% in the annual comparison, accounting for 58.1% of data revenue in 1Q14. This performance is directly influenced by the strong growth of postpaid data accesses, especially 3G Plus and 4G plans. In the individual pure postpaid customer segment, 75.6% of the customers own smartphones or smartlites.

VAS revenues climbed by 7.1% q-o-q in the quarter and 50.4% y-o-y, influenced by the “Vivo som de chamada”, “Vivo torpedo recado” and “Vivo Segurança Online” services, as well as the Education Platform services, which support the high growth pace. In this regard, the Company has constant focus on launching innovative services always in tune with consumer trends.

Other services revenue reached R$52.1 million, 2.6 times higher than in 1Q13, chiefly due to the sale of financial products unrelated to the telecom segment, particularly insurance.

Mobile handset revenue declined 3.4% over 4Q13, reflecting the rationality of the subsidy policy applied to users with 4G data plans only.

o Fixed-line total accesses grew 3.5% over the previous year, totaling 15,391 thousand accesses in 1Q14, influenced by a better performance in all fixed services.

 

oFixed voice accesses increased by 0.7% q-o-q in 1Q14, totaling 10,828 thousand, boosting annual growth (+2.6% y-o-y in 1Q14 vs. +1.0% y-o-y in 4Q13). Corporate accesses remained with good performance and recorded growth of 3.2% y-o-y. The performance in the residential segment is due to the increase of fixed wireless solutions sales with expansion to new cities outside the state of São Paulo, leveraged by product quality and the strengthening of the sales channel. At the end of 1Q14, the FWT customer base reached 653 thousand accesses, an increase of 34.9% q-o-q.

 

oFixed broadband accesses recorded 3,918 thousand customers in 1Q14, a growth of 4.4% over 1Q13, with 100% of additions above 4 Mbps. After the strong concentration of sales in 2H13, the quarterly performance reflects the seasonality of the period and the higher focus on maintenance and quality assurance in 1Q14. The FTTH footprint exceeded 2.3 million HPs in March 2014 (1.5 million of addressable homes*) and the fiber access base already recorded 236 thousand accesses, an evolution of 15.6% compared to 4Q13.

 

oPay TV accesses climbed by 14.7% y-o-y, to 645 thousand subscribers, with additions mainly of DTH and IPTV. The weaker quarterly growth reflects the seasonal downturn of this market at the beginning of the year.

* Excludes inoperable areas, vacant buildings and homes that do not fit the targeted public of this technology.

Note: In order to better reflect the consolidated performance, revenues are presented after intercompany. In addition, Fixed Net Revenue considers the allocation of long-distance revenue by call origination and the allocation of revenue from the FWT solution (“Vivo Fixo”).

 

Net revenue from the fixed line business reduced by 2.3% y-o-y, mainly due to fixed to mobile tariff (VC) reductions in April 2013 and February 2014. Despite this reduction, this figure is still the best y-o-y evolution in almost two years. Excluding the regulatory effect, net fixed service revenue would virtually remain stable, down by 0.1% in the period.

 

Voice and accesses revenue decreased by 7.3% over 1Q13, justified by the fixed to mobile substitution, in addition to regulatory impacts. Excluding the VC reduction, the variation would be of -3.2% y-o-y.

Network usage revenue rose by 5.6% over 1Q13 and fell by 6.0% over 4Q13, due to the lower incoming fixed traffic, the period’s seasonality and the fixed to mobile substitution.

Data revenue grew 1.2% over the same period in the previous year, influenced by the fiercer competition in the broadband segment. To address this issue, the Company has been focusing on the migration of clients to higher speeds and more advanced technologies, expanding the fiber client base, which has higher ARPU and already totals 236 thousand accesses.

Pay TV grew 14.0% in 1Q14 over 1Q13, thanks to the growth in the base which began in the second half of 2013, mostly in DTH and IPTV, showing the new level of revenues after the end of the promotional period.

Other services revenue grew by 6.0% y-o-y, reflecting the increased sales of hardware to corporate clients.

Operating costs totaled R$6,049.1 million in 1Q14, 2.2% down on 4Q13 and 4.2% up on 1Q13, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-recurring effects, the increase in costs was below period inflation, with a y-o-y variation of 5.8%. Such variation was mainly driven by the efforts to improve the fixed line business performance and increase the mobile base focusing on adding value, offset by the strong control of personnel and G&A costs.


Personnel costs reduced by 6.6% q-o-q and 12.1% y-o-y, despite the 6.5% pay rise due to the collective bargaining agreement in January 2014. These variations are explained by the dismissal program occurred in 1Q13 and 4Q13, which increased the comparison base and is already generating efficiency gains from the leaner workforce.

The cost of services rendered grew by 0.6% in 1Q14 over 1Q13, partially offset by the MTR reductions in April 2013 and February 2014. Excluding this effect, the increase came to 6.5%, chiefly due to efforts towards capacity expansion, quality assurance of the mobile network and increased expenses with purchase of TV and mobile contents, in addition to the higher costs with partnerships and data providers, due to the VAS revenue growth.

Cost of goods sold fell 8.6% in 1Q14 over 1Q13, mainly due to the more restrictive subsidy policy, focused on handsets with 4G plans, which helped to reduce handset sales.

Selling expenses rose by 17.9% y-o-y, basically influenced by the commercial efforts made towards the fixed-line business, focusing on growth, and the increase in the postpaid mobile customer base, supported by a commercial policy focused on value generation. In the q-o-q comparison, there was a reduction of 7.5%. The annual increase in third-party services was caused by higher commissioning costs, associated with the stronger adoption of data packages and prepaid upselling for control plans, in addition to marketing and advertising expenses related to the launch of the new Vivo Tudo prepaid offer.

Provisions for bad debt closed at R$207.9 million in 1Q14, with default levels at 1.6% of total gross revenue, controlled through strict collection actions and credit granting mechanisms.

First-quarter general and administrative expenses decreased by 7.3% over the previous year, as a result of the stricter control implemented by the Company and gains with the renegotiation of contracts with suppliers.

Other net operating revenues (expenses) totaled an expense of R$98.3 million in 1Q14, 38.2% down compared to 4Q13, justified by the reduced provisions for contingencies in the period.

Ebitda

 

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) stood at R$2,562.8 million in 1Q14, 9.7% lower than on 1Q13 recurring EBITDA, due to the efforts to improve the performance of the fixed line business and increases in the mobile base, intensified as of 2Q13. The EBITDA margin came to 29.8%, 3.4 p.p. less than the 33.2% adjusted margin in 1Q13.

The depreciation and amortization line moved up by 3.3% in 1Q14 over 1Q13 and 1.0% over 4Q13, particularly due to the amortization of the L Band license, accounted as from September 2013, and to a higher level of recent investments already operating in network infrastructure, focused on capacity and quality.

Operating cash flow came to R$1,271.0 million in 1Q14, a reduction of R$990.4 million over 1Q13, reflection of higher FISTEL outflows in the 1Q14 since part of this payment last year was made in the subsequent quarter. Adjusting for this, Operating Cash Flow would have decreased just 8%, slightly above the recurrent EBITDA variation in the period, thanks to solid working capital management. Cash applied in investment activities increased by R$665.3 million in the period, due to the higher volume of additions to fixed assets and the lower volume of resources from the sale of fixed assets. As a result, cash flow after investment activities was a negative by R$231.0 million in 1Q14, a reduction of R$1,655.7 million over 1Q13. Cash applied in financing activities remained virtually stable y-o-y.

In the comparison with 4Q13, operating cash generation decreased by R$1,283.9 million, due to the payments to regulatory agencies, in March 2014, while cash used in investment activities increased by R$780.8 million, in view of higher volume of additions to fixed assets. Therefore, cash flow after investment activities decreased by R$2,064.7 million. Cash applied in financing activities recorded reduction of R$2,151.6 million, due to reduced dividend and interest on own capital payments, and the lower volume of loan settlement in the period, resulting in an upturn of R$86.9 million in cash flow after financing activities.

The Company closed 1Q14 with gross debt of R$8,562.6 million, of which 15.7% denominated in foreign currency. The 2.2% reduction over the previous quarter was mainly driven by the amortizations of principal in loans hired with BNDES and BNB.

 

Net debt totaled R$3,667.1 million at the close of 1Q14, accounting for 0.35 of the EBITDA in the last 12 months. In comparison with 4Q13, net debt climbed 103.8%, basically influenced by the payments of dividends and interest on own capital in 1Q14.
