o    Total accessesregistered increase of 4.3% over the first quarter of 2014, totaling 81,869 thousand accesses. Worthy of mention is the postpaid segment, which grew by 16.0% y-o-y with 28,907 thousand accesses, recording a postpaid customer mix of 35.3%, up by 3.6 p.p. in the annual comparison.

 

o    Total market share came to 28.9% in March (+0.4 p.p. q-o-q). In the postpaid segment Telefônica Brasil achieved 32.7% of net additions in the first quarter of 2015, recording a market share of 41.6%, due to the superior quality offered by the Company, which is the also leader in number of 4G-technology terminals, with a market share of 37.6% in January 2014.

 

o    Data card market share came to 50.9% in January, remaining flat over December 2014, despite the 1.6% market reduction in the same period. This performance is supported by the differentiated and nationwide 3G, HSPA+ and 4G coverage.

o    In the machine-to-machine (M2M) market, the access base continued to record exceptional performance, reaching 3.7 million customers in March, a growth of 40.0% when compared to the last year.

o    In 1Q15, mobile net additions reached 1,931 thousand accesses, with postpaid net additions reaching 552 thousand accesses in the quarter, equivalent to a market share of net additions of 32.7% in the first quarter of 2015.

o    Total ARPU climbed by 4.3% y-o-y, while data ARPU increased by 26.3% in 1Q15 compared to 1Q14. Excluding the MTR reduction occurred in the period, the ARPU would have posted annual growth of 7.4% in 1Q15.

o    The prepaid customer base reduced by 1.1% y-o-y, slowing the trend seen in recent quarters, due to a more restrictive credit policy for migrations to postpaid.

First-quarter net mobile revenue growth posted its highest figure in the last three years, registering evolution of 8.4% over 1Q14, fueled by increased data and VAS revenue. Mobile service revenue posted the same annual variation in the quarter, despite the impact of the MTR reduction in February 24, 2015. Excluding this effect, first-quarter mobile service revenue would have increased by 11.6% over 1Q14.

Access and usagerevenue increased by 1.3% in 1Q15 compared to 1Q14. Such evolution reflects the higher number of lines in the postpaid customer base, besides the recovery of the contribution of revenues from prepaid recharges.

Network and usagerevenue fell by 27.9% in the quarter over 1Q14, mainly due to the 33.0% reduction of MTR tariffs in February 2015. The reduction in the network and usage revenues would come to 2.0% with the normalization of this effect, impacted by the lower incoming mobile traffic, influenced by the community effect.

Data and VAS revenue continued to post strong performance in 1Q15, growing by 31.3% in the annual comparison. The success in sales of data packages and plans, and the higher penetration of smartphones within our customer base have been drivers for such evolution. In the quarter, data and VAS revenue increased to 42.0% of the net mobile service revenue, reaching 7.3 p.p. of annual growth. Considering outgoing revenue only, data and VAS accounted for 45.6% in 1Q15.
 

SMS revenue fell by 3.3% y-o-y, reflecting the maturity of the service. The variation over 4Q14 was more controlled (-1.2% q-o-q), due to the adoption of higher value added offers which bundles SMS, voice and data packages.
 

Mobile internet revenue maintained high level growth, increasing 45.8% in the y-o-y comparison, and accounting for 64.5% of data revenue in 1Q15. This performance is directly linked to the strong growth in postpaid data accesses, especially 4G, to the increased sales of stand-alone data packages mainly in the prepaid segment, and to the smartphone handset base, which increased by 7,1% in the quarter. In the pure individual postpaid customer segment, 85% of the customers own smartphones or webphones.

 

First-quarterVAS revenue climbed by 28.3% over the same period of last year, influenced by the “Plataforma de Educação”, “Vivo Segurança”, “Vivo Sync”, “Vivo Som de Chamada” and “Vivo Música” services, which support the high growth pace of VAS.
 

Other services revenue reached R$68.8 million, 32.2% higher than in 1Q14. This growth reflects the evolution of digital services, such as insurance, and the periodic recovery of taxes on disputed invoices.

 

Mobile handset revenue climbed by 12.8% over last quarter and 8.3% over 1Q14, face to the 16% growth in the postpaid customer base, in line with the strong migration of customers to the 4G base.

o    The fixed accesses base totaled 15,311 thousand accesses in 1Q15, 0.5% down comparing to the first quarter of 2014, due to the maturity of the fixed voice business, partially offset by the performance in the Pay TV segment and by the virtually stable performance in fixed broadband.

o    Fixed voice accessestotaled 10,609 thousand in1Q15, reducing by 2.0%  y-o-y. Corporate accesses increased by 0.8% compared to the previous year. Residential segment performance was mainly influenced by the adjustment of the fixed wireless solution sales strategy, with the adoption of stricter credit criteria by the Company as of 4Q14.

o    Fixed broadband accessesrecorded 3,911 thousand customers in 1Q15, 0.2% less than in 1Q14.The FTTH footprint exceeded 4.2 million homes passed in March 2015 (2.7 million addressable homes*) and the fiber access base already totals 429 thousand accesses, 14.4% more than in 4Q14.

Note I: Fixed Net Revenue considers the allocation of long-distance revenue by call origination and revenues from the FWT solution (“Vivo Fixo”).

Note II: From this quarter on, we present a new disclosure of fixed data revenues, broken down by Broadband and Corporate Data and IT. For historical information, please refer to the annex on page 18.

 

Net revenue from the fixed line business fell by 4.0% over 1Q14, especially due to the fixed to mobile tariff (VC) reduction on February 24, 2014 and the reduction of the basic tariff in accordance with ANATEL’s act, in force as of June 04, 2014. Excluding these effects, net fixed service revenue would have decreased by 0.4% in the period.

Voice and accessrevenue declined by 9.1% over 1Q14, justified by the fixed to mobile substitution, in addition to the regulatory impact. Excluding the VC reduction, the decline would come to 2.0% y-o-y.

Network usage revenue decreased by 18.3% when compared to 1Q14, due to the lower incoming fixed traffic. In 1Q15 over 4Q14, this line recorded reduction of 11.8%.

Broadbandrevenue grew 3.4% in the annual comparison and 1.2% over 1Q14. This performance reflects the efforts to expand ARPU, despite the current fierce competitive environment in broadband. To address this issue, the Company has been focusing on the migration of customers to higher speeds, mainly in FTTH, expanding the fiber customer base, which has higher ARPU, lower churn and already totals 429 thousand accesses.

Revenue from corporate data and ITincreased by 1.9% y-o-y, reducing by 0.5% when compared to 4Q14, mainly due to the renewal of large contracts with price adjustments.

In the 1Q15, the Pay TVrevenue recorded growth of 22.0% in the annual comparison. Such evolution is due to the fast growth of the DTH and IPTV subscriber base, with an increased adoption of HD packages, whose ARPU is higher.

Other servicerevenue fell by 7.8% in the 1Q15 over 1Q14, impacted by the volatility in the sale of equipment linked to contracts with large clients.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, totaled R$6,414.3 million in 1Q15, growing 6.0% in the annual comparison. The quarter-on-quarter variation in operating costs was 1.8%. Such performance was chiefly due to the increase in provisions for bad debt, in view of the more challenging economic scenario, higher costs with the purchase of content, as well as higher expenses linked to quality assurance and capacity increase.

Personnel costsincreased by 5.1% in the annual comparison, fueled by the pay rise of 7.0% granted in January 2015. In 1Q15 over 4Q14, this line declined by 22.9%, as the fourth-quarter figure was impacted by the provision for the corporate restructuring program in the amount of R$ 212 million.

The cost of services renderedincreased by 2.9% in 1Q15 over 1Q14, influenced by the MTR reduction held in February 2014. Excluding this effect, the increase would come to 9.5%, mainly due to higher site leasing expenses tied to the efforts to ensure quality and increase capacity and mobile coverage, mainly in 4G, in addition to higher expenses with purchase of TV and mobile content, which grow in line with the increase in the subscriber base and the share of data in revenue.

Cost of goods sold increased by 13.5% in 1Q15 compared to 1Q14, due to the higher volume of higher-value handsets, with 4G-technology, in the equipment portfolio mix, which unit costs are higher, to the higher subsidies and the stronger impact from the currency exchange variation.

First-quarter service selling expenses increased by 8.3% y-o-y, particularly due to the higher commercial activity in the period and the more challenging economic scenario:

Provisions for bad debt closed 1Q15 at R$324.4 million, with default levels at 2.4% of total gross revenue (+0.8 p.p. y-o-y), due to the current economic scenario. The Company continues to adopt strict credit and collection criteria in order to reduce default levels.

Third-party services posted y-o-y increase of 1.5% in the quarter, influenced mostly by higher expenses linked to the growth of the mobile subscriber base. The simplification of plans and offers positively impacted expenses with call center.

General and administrative expenses fell by 6.0% in 1Q15 over 1Q14, chiefly due to the strict cost control, with savings in several fronts.

Other net operating revenues (expenses) totaled an expense of R$144.1 million in 1Q15, 46.6% up on 1Q14, mainly as a result of higher labor contingencies in the period.

Ebitda

EBITDA(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled R$2,568.8 million in 1Q15, in line with the 1Q14 figure, reflecting the important increase in mobile revenue which was offset by the higher provision for bad debt, and higher costs related to quality assurance and purchase of TV content. The EBITDA marginreached 28.6%, a y-o-y decline of 1.2 p.p., compared to a recurring margin of 29.8% in 1Q14.

In 1Q15, operating cash flow amounted to R$1,003.0 million, R$268.0 million less than in 1Q14. Cash used in investment activities increased by R$322.6 million in the period, due to the higher volume of payments to suppliers in 1Q15. As a result, cash flow after investment activities consumed R$821.6 million in 1Q15, a reduction of R$590.6 million over 1Q14. Cash used in financing activities declined by R$1,109.5 million compared to 1Q14, mainly due to reduced dividend and interest on equity payments, partially offset by the higher disbursement with overdue obligations and debt amortization in the period.

In the comparison with 4Q14, operating cash flow decreased by R$1,955.4 million, chiefly due to the payment of FISTEL, held in March, while cash used in investment activities declined by R$1,451.4 million, due to the payment of the 700 MHz  license in December 2014. As a result, cash flow after investment activities decreased by R$504.0 million. Cash used in financing activities recorded a reduction of R$708.1 million, due to reduced dividend and interest on equity payments, resulting in an upturn of R$204.1 million in cash flow after financing activities

The Company closed 1Q15 with gross debt of R$6,983.5 million, 8.6% of which denominated in foreign currency. The 18.4% reduction over 1Q14 was mainly driven by the settlement of debentures and amortizations of loans hired with BNDES, BNB and BEI.

 

Net debt totaled R$2,618.2 million at the close of 1Q15, accounting for 0.25 of EBITDA of the last twelve months. In comparison with 1Q14, net debt declined by R$1,048.9 million, chiefly resulting from the mark to market of derivatives contracted to cover the operation of purchase of GVT. Foreign exchange exposure of debt is 100% covered by hedge transactions.

Additional Notes

On September 18, 2014, the Company published a material fact announcing that on the same date the Company and Vivendi S.A. and its subsidiaries entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement and Other Covenants through which all the shares issued by GVT Participações S.A., the parent company of Global Village Telecom S.A., will be acquired by the Company. The signature of the Agreement and related documents was dully approved by the Company’s Board of Directors at the meeting held on the same date.

The consideration for the acquisition of GVT’s shares will be executed as follows by the Company to the Sellers:

•          An instalment totaling €4,663.00 million payable on demand and in cash, financed with a capital increase through public subscription.

•          One instalment in shares issued by the Company equivalent to 12% of common shares and 12% of preferred shares after the merger of GVTPar’s shares.

All common shares and 0.7% of the preferred shares, which corresponds to 4.5% of the capital resulting from the Company’s and GVT’s association, will be, as Vivendi decided to accept Telefónica S.A.’s offer, swapped by a 8.3% interest with voting rights in Telecom Itália S.p.A. (equivalent to 5.7% of its capital stock – 1,110 billion common shares).

On December 22, 2014, ANATEL granted preliminary approval for the acquisition of GVT’s total control by the Company, provided certain conditions are complied with: (i) the presentation of all the tax compliance certificates required by ANATEL; (ii) the elimination of STFC’s existing overlapping authorizations between the Company and GVT; (iii) the assumption by the Company of the obligation to maintain the geographic service coverage to users (contracts, plans and services); and (iv) the presentation of a coverage expansion plan.

On December 30, 2014, the Company filed a new request with ANATEL for the approval of the share transfer of Telecom Itália S.p.A. and the Company.

On March 25, 2015, the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE) approved the Concentration Control Agreement (“ACC”), involving the Company, GVT and CADE, whose purpose is the acquisition of all GVT’s shares by the Company. This ACC envisages certain conditions, including the following: (i) the maintenance of the services, plans and contracts currently offered by both GVT and the Company for a certain period; (ii) the maintenance of the current geographical coverage offered by GVT and the Company, as well as the expansion of their operations; (iii) the maintenance, for a certain period, of some specific quality indicators related to

16

 


 

GVT’s broadband services; and (iv) the commitment to comply with certain assumed obligations related to the waiving of Vivendi’s political rights in the Company.

At meeting held on March 25, 2015, the Board of Directors approved, unanimously, the realization of Public Offering for Primary Distribution of Common and Preferred Shares issued by the Company, all registered and book-entry Shares, with no par value, free and clear of any burden or encumbrance, inclusive in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), represented by American Depositary Receipts, held simultaneously in Brazil and abroad, upon increase of the Company’s capital.

The capital increase was approved by the Board of Directors on meeting held on April 27, 2015, in the amount of R$15,812,000,038.80, the Company's capital stock increasing from R$37,798,109,745.03 to R$53,610,109,783.83, through the issuance of 121,711,240 common shares, at an unitary issuance price of R$38.47, and 236,803,588 preferred shares, at an unitary issuance price of R$47.00. The common shares, preferred shares and ADSs issued as a result of the capital increase will entitle their holders, from April 28, 2015 on, the date of disclosure of the Global Offering announcement of commencement, the same rights assigned respectively to the holders of common shares, preferred shares and ADSs, currently outstanding, under the Company's Bylaws and the Law of Corporations, fully participating in dividends and other distributions that may be declared from April 28, 2015 on, the date of publication of the Global Offering announcement of commencement

The issuance price of R$47.00 per Preferred Share was determined after completion of the procedure of the Bookbuilding Procedure, in accordance with Article 23, paragraph 1, and Article 44 of CVM Instruction 400, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 170, paragraph 1, item III, of Law No. 6,404 of December 15, 1976, as amended. The issuance price of R$38.47 per common share was determined as the price per preferred share determined after the completion of the bookbuilding process, applying a discount of 18.14%, which represents the average discount rate of trading price of the common shares issued by the Company in relation to the trading price of the preferred shares issued by the Company in the 3 months prior to March 26, 2015.

At a meeting held on April 30, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a second capital increase under the Public Offering for Primary Distribution of Shares, due to the exercise, by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banco Múltiplo S.A., of the option of over-allotment of shares that was granted by the Company through the Coordination, Placement and Firm Guarantee of Settlement of Common and Preferred Shares Issued by Telefônica Brasil S.A., in accordance with Article 24 of CVM Instruction 400, of December 29, 2003, as amended, to meet the excess demand verified during the Offering.
