Second-quarter net mobile revenue presented growth of 7.0% y-o-y, influenced by the increasing data and VAS revenue, which, in this quarter, became the largest revenue line mobile revenues. Despite the impact of the MTR reduction, occurred on February 24, 2015, the mobile service revenue increased by 5.7% y-o-y in 2Q15. When excluding such effect, 2Q15 mobile service revenue climbed by 8.8% over 2Q14.

 

 

Access and usage revenue fell by 5.7% in the quarter compared to 2Q14, already reflecting the higher proportion of data in postpaid plans and higher internet consumption by prepaid clients, with the increase in mobile internet more than offsetting the reduction in voice.

 

Network usage second-quarter revenue reduced by 28.5% over 2Q14, mainly due to the 33.0% MTR tariff reduction, occurred in February 2015. With the normalization of this effect, network usage revenue grew by 2.7% in 2Q15.

 

Data and VAS revenue continued to post strong performance in the second quarter, growing 33.5% in the annual comparison, the highest figure in the last three years, due to successful sales of data plans and packages, and the higher penetration of smartphones within our customer base. In 2Q15, data and VAS revenue represented 46.1% of net mobile service revenue, up by 9.6 p.p. y-o-y.

SMS revenue fell by 1.5% y-o-y, reflecting the maturity of the service. This line expanded by 3.6% in 2Q15 over 1Q15, due to the increased adoption to higher value-added offers which includes SMS, voice and data packages.

 

Mobile internet revenue posted record growth, 50.9% up y-o-y and accounting for 66.1% of data revenue in 2Q15. This performance is directly linked to the strong growth in postpaid data accesses, especially in 4G plans, the increased sales of stand-alone data packages to prepaid customers, and the growing smartphone base. 71% of our customer base already has smartphones or webphones, a 13 p.p. increase compared to the same period last year.

 

Second-quarter VAS revenue climbed by 20.2% in the quarter over 2Q14, mainly driven by growth in: “Plataforma de Educação”, “Vivo Segurança”, “Vivo Sync”, “Vivo Som de Chamada” and “Vivo Música” services, which support the high growth pace of VAS.

 

Other service revenue reached R$71.3 million in the second quarter, reducing 36.6% compared to 2Q14, due to the recovery of taxes on disputed invoices, occurred in 2Q14.

 

Mobile handset revenue increased by 30.4% y-o-y in 2Q15, in line with the strong migration of customers to the 4G base and the consequent increase in the share of higher-value devices in the handsets portfolio.

Note: Fixed Net Revenue includes revenues from the FWT solution (“Vivo Fixo”).

 

Net revenue from the fixed line business grew by 3.1% y-o-y, mainly due to the increase in broadband and Pay TV revenues. Fixed line revenue excluding GVT improved annual evolution, remaining virtually stable in the quarter (-0.3% y-o-y in 2Q15 vs. -4.0% y-o-y in 1Q15). GVT’s revenues accelerated growth, reaching annual evolution of 10.2% in 2Q15 (+9.8% y-o-y in 1Q15). Fixed line revenue was impacted by fixed to mobile tariff (VC) reduction, effective on February 24, 2015 and the reduction of the basic tariff provisioned in accordance with Anatel’s act, in force as of June 04, 2014. Excluding these effects, the variation in net fixed service revenue came to 5.6% in the period.

Voice and access revenue fell by 2.0% over 2Q14, due to the regulatory impact. Excluding the VC reduction, voice revenue increased by 2.9% y-o-y.

Network usage revenue decreased by 10.1% over 2Q14, due to the lower incoming traffic with fixed termination, mainly driven by the mobile substitution. In 2Q15 over 1Q15, this line registered increase of 1.6%.

Broadband revenue grew by 7.9% y-o-y and 2.5% q-o-q in 2Q15, reflecting the evolution of the broadband base, in addition to the efforts to expand the ARPU. To address this issue, the Company has been focusing on the migration of customers to higher speeds, mainly in FTTX, expanding the fiber customer base, which has higher ARPU and lower churn.

Revenue from corporate data and IT increased by 3.2% y-o-y and 2.9% over 1Q15, mainly due to the acquisition of new corporate customers in the period, leveraging on the combined capabilities of Vivo and GVT for this segment.

Pay TV revenue climbed by 30.4% y-o-y in the quarter, due to the fast growth of the IPTV and DTH subscriber base, with an increased adoption of HD packages.

Other service revenue grew by 3.2% in the annual comparison, impacted by the the sale of equipment linked to agreements with large clients.

The new Company’s operating costs excluding depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$7,296.1 million in 2Q15, 6.5% higher in the annual comparison, and lower than inflation in the last 12 months. Said performance was mainly influenced by higher expenses associated to quality assurance and those directly linked to the increase in revenue, the increase in provisions for bad debt and collection efforts, in addition to the higher expenses with energy, offset by the improved efficiency in G&A, personnel and call center expenses. In 2Q15 over 1Q15, operating costs were virtually stable.

 

Personnel costs were 4.0% higher when compared to 2Q14, fueled by the 7.0% rise, negotiated in the collective agreement, granted in January 2015, partially offset by the corporate restructuring, occurred in the first half of 2015, which reduced the number of employees.

The cost of services rendered increased by 3.7% in 2Q15 over 2Q14, positively influenced by MTR reduction in February 2015. Excluding this effect, the increase was 10.0% y-o-y. This variation chiefly reflects the higher leasing and network maintenance expenses, due to the expansion in 4G coverage and focus on service quality, the higher expenses with purchase of TV and mobile content, which grew proportionally to the increase in revenue, besides the higher energy expenses, due to the rise of unitary prices.

Cost of goods sold (COGS) increased by 28.3% in 2Q15 over 2Q14, due to the increasing volume of higher-value devices in the handset portfolio, the higher subsidies and the stronger impact from the exchange rate variation.

Second-quarter service selling expenses increased by 7.3% y-o-y, particularly due to the higher commercial activity in the period and the more challenging economic scenario:

Provisions for bad debt closed 2Q15 at R$299.9 million (+17.0% y-o-y), with default levels at 1.9% of total gross revenue (+0.2 p.p. y-o-y). In the second quarter, the Company adopted stricter credit criteria and even more active collection actions in order to reduce default levels.

Third-party services posted y-o-y increase of 7.3% in 2Q15, mostly influenced by higher commissioning expenses linked to the growth of the mobile subscriber base and the higher share of data, besides higher publicity and marketing expenses. The simplification of plans and offers continues to positively impact expenses with call center.

General and administrative expenses increased by 0.6% y-o-y in the second quarter, showing the results obtained with the Company’s strict cost control adopted in recent quarters.

Other net operating revenues (expenses) totaled an expense of R$140.8 million in 2Q15, 5.6% up on 2Q14, mainly due to higher contingencies in the period, especially related to labor.

Ebitda

 

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled R$3,131.5 million in 2Q15, 2.8% up on 2Q14, due to the increase in fixed and mobile revenue, which was partially offset by the stronger commercial efforts, the higher provision for bad debt, higher costs related to quality assurance and capacity, and higher expenses with the purchase of TV content. The EBITDA margin reached 30.0%, a y-o-y reduction of 0.8 p.p., compared to the 30.8% combined margin for 2Q14.

(*) Amortization of intangible assets generated by the incorporation of Vivo as of 2Q11 and of GVT as of 2Q15.

 

Depreciation and amortization climbed by 19.4% in the annual comparison, chiefly due to the non-recurrent gain from the periodical review of the useful life of fixed assets which impacted 2Q14 and reduced the comparison basis by R$132 million. In the accounting evolution, the 42.6% annual increase reflects the amortization, as of May, 2015, of the intangible assets arising from the merger of GVT.

In 2Q15, net financial expenses increased by R$77.9 million over 2Q14, chiefly fueled by the exchange variation and charges with derivatives, approximately in the amount of R$60 million, in addition to tax on financial transactions (IOF), in the amount of R$30 million, generated upon the settlement of the cash installment related to the acquisition of GVT. In 1H15, net financial expenses increased by R$606.7 million over 1H14, mostly fueled by the exchange variation effect on loans and financing denominated in foreign currency (Euro) from GVT, that were partially paid, with the remaining debt being fully covered by hedge transactions.

 

Net Income

Net income totaled R$932.9 million in 2Q15, 56.4% down on the same period of last year, basically due to the positive impact, in 2Q14, from the revision of the tax calculation bases of certain intangible assets arising from business combinations after the effectiveness of Law 12,973, whose positive net effect on the result came to R$1,196.0 million. Excluding this effect, recurring net income fell by only 1.4% y-o-y. Year-to-date accounting net income amounted to R$1,449.5 million.

Year-to-date operating cash generation fell by R$559.2 million over 1H14, due to the increase in inventory, as a result of a larger proportion of higher-value 4G handsets, and growth in accounts receivable, impacted by the migration of customers from prepaid to postpaid. Cash used in investment activities increased by R$8,858.7 million, particularly due to the acquisition of GVT. Thus, cash flow after investment activities recorded a consumption of R$9,417.9 million. Cash used in financing activities recorded a reduction of R$12,390.8 million, due to the capital increase, partially offset by the higher amortization of loans, resulting in an increase of R$2,972.9 million in cash flow after financing activities.

The Company closed 2Q15 with a gross debt of R$11,534.5 million, 28.6% of which denominated in foreign currency. The reduction in gross debt is related to the settlement of loans and financing in the period.

Net debt totaled R$4,200.1 million at the close of 2Q15, accounting for 0.33 of the combined EBITDA of the last 12 months. In comparison with 2Q14, net debt reduced by R$2,834.8 million, mainly explained by the capital increase carried out by the Company, partially offset by the payment of the 700MHz license to ANATEL. Foreign exchange exposure of debt is currently 100% covered by hedge transactions.

Additional Notes

 

On May 28, 2015, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved the ratification of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Other Covenants entered into between the Company, and Vivendi and its subsidiaries, through which all the shares issued by GVTPart. were acquired by the Company.

The consideration for the acquisition of GVTPart. was executed as follows:

•          One installment totaling €4,663.0 million on demand and in cash, after the adjustments envisaged in the agreement, on the closing date, and

•          One installment in Company shares, delivered due to the merger of GVTPart shares. by the Company equivalent to 12% of its capital stock after the merger of shares.

In view of the merger of GVTPart’s shares, the Company’s capital stock increased by R$9,666.0 million, through the issue of 68,597,306 common shares and 134,320,885 preferred shares, all non-par book-entry shares, considering the economic value of the merged shares, calculated using the discounted cash flow method, based on GVT’s Economic Value Appraisal Report prepared by a specialized company, in accordance with article 252, paragraph 1 and article 8, both of Law 6,404/76.

With the conclusion of the acquisition, in May 28, 2015, the Company became the direct controlling company of GVTPart and the indirect controlling company GVT Operadora.

 

On June 24, 2015, it was concluded the share swap operation between Telefónica, the controlling shareholder of the Company, and FrHolding108, a company controlled by Vivendi S.A., through which the FrHolding108 transferred to Telefónica 76,656,559 shares representing 4.5% of the Company’s capital stock, including 68,597,306 common shares representing 12% of this type of share and 8,059,253 preferred shares, representing 0.72% of this type of share issued by the Company, in exchange for 1,110 million shares representing 8.2% of the common shares of Telecom Itália, previously held by TELCO, a subsidiary of Telefónica.

 

As a result of the approval of the acquisition of GVTPart.’s control, the Company’s common and preferred shareholders who dissented from the resolutions taken by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, had the right to withdraw from the Company upon reimbursement of the value of the shares proven to be held by them on September 19, 2014. The reimbursement amount per common or preferred share to be paid due to the withdrawal rights, calculated based on the Company’s net equity in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, corresponds to R$37.55 per common share, already excluding the amount corresponding to the dividends declared by the Company. On July 8, 2015 the Company effected the payment to those shareholders who exercised their right to withdrawal.
