CEO’s Comments

“Our industry is substantially changing worldwide, consolidation is already happening, data demand is booming, services are maturing and new technologic cycles are becoming more and more capex intensive.

MTR cut, new spectrum auctions, high competitiveness and regulatory issues are among the challenges we have this year.

Besides chasing efficiency in everything we do, we intend to optimize our investment model focusing on technologies that will differentiate us in the market.

Fiber and 4G, the right service and price mix and solid partnerships will improve our returns on capital and increase our value generation.

We are proud to have captured 2/3 of the market growth in mobile revenues this year and to continue to lead in satisfaction and quality indicators from ANATEL. This is showing that we are executing well our strategy having quality as one of our key drivers.

I am confident that we are ahead of our competitors and in the right path to deliver strong results for our shareholders.”

Paulo Cesar Teixeira - CEO

o  Total accesses registered increase of 1.5% over the fourth quarter of 2012, totaling in the quarter 77,245 thousand accesses. Worthy of mention is the postpaid segment, which grew by 26.0% y-o-y with 23,693 thousand accesses, increasing the postpaid customer mix to 30.7%, an increase of 6.0 p.p. in the annual comparison.

o    Total market share of the quarter presented a slight decrease over 3Q13, reaching 28.5% (-0.6 p.p. y-o-y) due to our restrictive policy in prepaid disconnections, based on profitability criteria. In the postpaid market Telefônica Brasil achieved 60.0% of the net additions of the quarter, recording a market share of 39.8% (+2.9 p.p. y-o-y), reflecting the quality differential presented by the Company. In 4G technology Vivo leads with 41.1% of market share in 4Q13, and reached in February/14, ten months after its launch, the mark of one million clients.

o     Telefônica has continued to lead the market of data cards with 50.8% market share, having increased by 1.2 p.p. over last quarter, recording 3.5 p.p. of growth in 2013. Such growth is mainly leveraged by the differentiated 3G and HSPA+ coverage nationwide.

o     In the machine-to-machine (M2M) market the customer base continued to grow, and recorded the level of 2.4 million customers in December, an increase of 14.1% when compared to the previous quarter.

o     In 4Q13, the mobile net additions recorded 630 thousand accesses, having the postpaid net additions recorded 1,555 thousand accesses, a growth of 83.4% over the same period of last year.

o     ARPU reached R$ 24.8, growing 3.8% over 4Q12, mainly due to the increase in the data revenues resulting from the volume of sales of modems and data plans tied to smartphones. Excluding the regulatory impact, the ARPU would have recorded an annual growth of 5.7% in the period.

o    The prepaid customer base recorded an annual reduction of 6.6% in 2013, while the financial volume of recharges continued to grow in the period (+5.8% y-o-y). 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 the recharges volume.

Net operating mobile revenues in the quarter recorded a growth of 4.5% in the annual comparison and of 7.5%   y-o-y in the year of 2013, driven by the increased data and VAS revenue. The mobile service revenue grew by 5.3% in the quarter when compared to the same period of last year, stimulated by the ICMS tax credits obtained in 4Q13. In the year-to-date of 2013, the growth recorded was 6.1% over 2012. Excluding the regulatory impact effect, the 4Q13 mobile net service revenue growth would be of 7.1% y-o-y.

 

Access and usage revenue registered positive evolution of 1.0% compared to 3Q13. In the year-to-date the increase was 3.6% y-o-y. This performance reflects the postpaid customer base increase in the“Vivo Ilimitado”plans, despite the decrease in prepaid recharges evolution.

Network usage revenue of the quarter decreased by 17.4% compared to 4Q12 mainly due to the reduction of the MTR. By normalizing this effect, such reduction would be of 6.8%. In the q-o-q comparison, a growth of 1.4% was recorded.

Data and VAS (Value Added Services) revenue continued to record a good performance in 4Q13, with growth of 19.1% y-o-y. Year 2013 closed with an increase of 21.8% over 2012. This is mainly due to the growth in sales of modems and data packages, in addition to higher mix of smartphones within our customer base. In the quarter, Data and VAS revenue accounted for 32.4% of the net mobile services revenue, an annual growth of 3.8 p.p.. Considering outgoing revenue only, Data and VAS would represent 37.5% in 4Q13.

SMS revenue decreased by 11.3% y-o-y, reflecting the maturity of the service and increased adhesion to SMS, voice and data integrated offers, which add higher value to customers. In the year-to-date a positive growth of 2.7% was recorded over 2012.

Mobile internet revenue maintained high level growth, recording an increase of 35.1% in the y-o-y comparison, accounting for 56.7% of data revenue in 4Q13. This performance is directly driven by the strong growth of postpaid and data accesses, especially the 3G Plus and 4G plans. In the individual pure postpaid customer segment, 75.4% of the customers own smartphones or smartlights.

VAS Revenues increased by 33.2% in the quarter over 4Q12 and 29.2% in 2013 over last year, driven by the education platform, “Vivo Som de Chamada” and “Vivo Segurança Online” services, which maintain significant growth level. Worthy of mention are the launchings of “Vivo Música” and “Vivo Sync”.

Other services revenue recorded R$ 209.6 million due to the recovery of R$ 165.8 million of ICMS taxes, in 4Q13, referring to the taxes paid over invoices later cancelled.

Mobile handset revenue was reduced by 7.1% in relation to the previous year due to a less aggressive subsidy policy, and was accelerated by 36.4% in the year-to-date, reflection of a new level of adhesion to smartphones.

o     Fixed-line total accesses recorded a growth of 2.2% in relation to the previous year, totaling 15,312 thousand accesses in 4Q13, driven by a better performance in all the fixed services.

o    Fixed voice accesses recorded a growth of 1.2% in the quarter, totaling 10,750 thousand in 4Q13, thus reversing the annual trend of reduction in the fixed voice accesses (1.0% y-o-y in 4Q13 vs. -0.8% y-o-y in 3Q13). Corporate accesses remained with good performance and recorded a growth of 3.7% y-o-y. The quarterly growth 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, driven by the quality of the product and the strengthening of the sales channel. By the end of 4Q13, the FWT customer base reached 484 thousand accesses, a growth of 52% over last quarter.

 

o Fixed broadband accesses recorded 3,922 thousand customers in 4Q13, a growth of 5.1% over last year, with acceleration in the additions at higher speeds. In this respect, around 90% of the additions were above 4 Mbps. The FTTH footprint exceeded 1.9 million HPs in 2013 (1.4 million of real estate units able to be connected*) and the fiber access base already recorded 204 thousand accesses, a growth of 19.4% compared to 3Q13.

o Pay TV accesses recorded a growth of 8.9% over last quarter recording 641 thousand subscribers at the end of the year, showing a positive reaction after the business expansion efforts were retaken. This result reflects the acceleration of the DTH and IPTV additions.

Note: In order to better reflect the performance of the integrated Company, revenues are presented after intercompany. Additionally, the Net Operating Fixed Revenue considers the allocation of long distance revenue per call origination and the allocation of revenues arising from FWT solution (“Vivo Fixo”).

 

Fixed-line net revenues recorded a quarterly growth of 3.2%, which reflected the selling efforts implemented by the Company along the year. In the annual comparison, it recorded a reduction of 3.7% over 4Q12, mainly due to reduction in fixed voice revenues, besides the fixed to mobile tariff (VC) reduction taken place last April. Excluding this effect, the reduction in the period would be of 2.6%.

 

Voice and accesses revenue decreased by 10.0% in relation to 4Q12, justified by the fixed to mobile substitution, in addition to regulatory impacts. In the q-o-q comparison, there was a reduction of mere 0.9%, which already demonstrates the positive effect in the performance of the FWT voice solution and of the turn-around efforts in the fixed line business. Excluding the VC reduction, the variation would be of -7.9% y-o-y.

Network usage revenue decreased by -4.4% when compared to 4Q12, and grew by 2.6% over the previous quarter.

Data revenues grew 5.2% y-o-y and 4.2% over 3Q13. This growth was influenced by the expansion of the fiber customer base, which has a high average monthly fee and already records 204 thousand accesses, besides the corporate business performance, with increasing market participation also outside the state of São Paulo.

In 4Q13, the Pay TV revenue grew by 7.1% in relation to the previous quarter due to the expansion efforts for this business started in 2Q13. In the y-o-y comparison, the reduction of 6.2% was mainly due to the disconnection of MMDS accesses, which was ended in 2Q13.

Other services revenue grew by 8.3% y-o-y reflected by sales of hardware to corporate clients. In the year-to-date, this revenue remained stable in relation to 2012.

Operating costs recorded R$ 6,185.5 million in 4Q13, without considering depreciation and amortization expenses, having remained almost stable in relation to the previous quarter, and grew by 22.4% in the y-o-y comparison. Such variation is mainly explained by the selling efforts made towards improving the fixed line business performance, the increase in the mobile customer base with focus on value generation, the expansion and maintenance of the network with focus on quality in face of the increase in data traffic, in addition to the non-recurrent sales of towers in 4Q12, which reduced the comparison basis. Excluding the non-recurring effects, costs increase would drop to 6.7% in the y-o-y comparison.

 

Personnel costs in 4Q13 were impacted by the voluntary dismissal program occurred in October/13 in the amount of R$ 72.9 million. Excluding such non-recurring effect, a reduction of 6.4% would be recorded in the q-o-q comparison, and the increase over 4Q12 would be of only 2.8%. In the year-to-date of 2013, an increase of 5.4% y-o-y was recorded, due to the collective bargaining implemented in January/13.

The cost of services rendered in 4Q13 grew by 1.3% in relation to the same period of last year, partially offset by the reduction in the MTR occurred in April/13. Excluding this effect, the increase would be of 5.0%, mainly due to efforts towards capacity expansion, quality assurance of the mobile network and increased expenses with purchase of TV and mobile contents. In the q-o-q comparison, there was a reduction of 7.1% in these costs, mainly due to reduced interconnection expenses, and increased costs with renting of links in 3Q13, which created a higher comparison base.

The cost of goods sold in 4Q13 decreased by 3.5% in relation to 4Q12, reverting the growth rate recorded in previous quarters, especially due to the less aggressive subsidy policy of the Company.

Selling expenses recorded an increase of 27.3% y-o-y, mainly due to the selling efforts made towards the fixed-line business, focusing on growth, in addition to the increase in the postpaid mobile customer base, supported by a commercial policy focused on value generation. The annual increase in third party services is due to greater expenses with commissioning costs tied to higher data packages adoption, and to the significant volume of new postpaid customers, as well as increased expenses with call center, both for incoming and outgoing calls.

The Provision for bad debt totaled R$ 172.0 million in 4Q13, maintaining the rate of 1.3% of the total gross revenues recorded last quarter. The Company increased its control over the collecting actions and has continued to improve the credit granting procedures to maintain the default levels under control.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by 24.3% in 4Q13 when compared to 4Q12, due to the austerity measures adopted by the Company along the year. In the q-o-q comparison the reduction was of 26.4% and in the year-to-date there was a reduction of 3.8% in these expenses.

Other net operating revenues (expenses) recorded expense of R$ 159.0 million in 4Q13 and R$ 383.4 in 2013. The R$ 1,114.2 million revenue coming from the sale of towers in 2012 justifies the growth of R$ 1,071.1 million between the accrued year of 2012 over the year of 2013.

In the comparison with 3Q13, operating cash generation decreased by R$ 97.9 million, while cash applied in investment activities decreased by R$ 1,098.0 million, due to lower volume of payments to Capex suppliers and redemption of investments granted as guarantee. Therefore, the cash flow after investment activities increased by R$ 1,000.1 million. The cash applied in financing activities recorded an increase of R$ 3,937.4 million, on account of payment of dividends and of IOC occurred last quarter, resulting in a reduction of R$ 2,937.3 million in the cash flow after investment activities.

The operating cash generation in the accrued year dropped by R$ 477.8 million in relation to the same period of last year. Cash applied in investment activities recorded an increase of R$ 1,823.0 million, mainly due to greater volume of payments to Capex suppliers, higher volume of licenses payment to the regulator as well as less proceeds from sales of fixed assets. Thus, the cash flow after investment activities recorded a consumption of R$ 2,300.8 million in 2013. The cash applied in financing activities recorded variation of R$ 2,532.8 million, mainly due to the higher payments of dividends and IOC, as well as less funding of loans and increased settlement of loans.

The Company closed 4Q13 with gross debt of R$ 8,753.6 million, 15.9% of which is denominated in foreign currency. The increase of 9.4% in relation to 4Q12 is mainly related to the issue of debentures of R$ 1,300.0 million in April/13.
