o    In the machine-to-machine (M2M) market, the access base continued to record exceptional performance, reaching 3.5 million customers in December, up 48.7% y-o-y.

o    In 4Q14, mobile net additions reached 115 thousand accesses, with postpaid net additions reaching 1,172 thousand accesses in the quarter, and 4,662 thousand in 2014, corresponding to a share of 56.3% of net additions in 2014.

o    Total ARPU registered variation of +4.5% q-o-q and -0.8% y-o-y, affected by the non-recurring tax recovery event in 4Q13. Excluding said effect, ARPU would increase by 2.2% y-o-y in 4Q14. Data ARPU recorded growth of 18.3% in 4Q14 compared to 4Q13. Excluding the effect of the MTR reduction in the period, recurring ARPU would have posted annual growth of 5.2% in 4Q14. In 2014, data ARPU increased by 16.9% when compared to the previous year, contributing to the 1.2% annual performance of recurring mobile ARPU, despite the regulatory impact.

o    The prepaid customer base posted annual reduction of 3.7% due to the restrictive disconnection policy applied to inactive clients, besides the more intense migration of most active prepaid customers to postpaid plans. In 2014, these migrations increased by 14% when compared to 2013.

Note: In order to better reflect the consolidated performance, revenues are presented after intercompany. In addition, Mobile Net Revenue considers the allocation of long-distance revenue by call origination.

 

Fourth-quarter net mobile revenue rose by 2.2% over 4Q13, fueled by increased data and VAS revenue. Mobile service revenue posted a 2.7% y-o-y increase in 4Q14, affected by the non-recurring tax recovery effect, occurred in 4Q13, totaling R$165.8 million of ICMS on disputed invoices of previous years. Excluding this effect, mobile revenue would have grown by 5.0% y-o-y and the mobile service revenue by 5.8% in 4Q14 over 4Q13. By considering 4Q13 recurring revenue and excluding the 2014 MTR reduction impact, 4Q14 mobile service revenue increased by 8.9% in the annual comparison.

Access and usage revenue increased by 2.0% compared to 4Q13 and 3.5% over 3Q14. Such performance reflects the increase of lines in the postpaid customer base, besides the recovery in the share of revenues from prepaid recharges in the period.

Network usage revenue decreased by 28.6% in the fourth quarter over 4Q13, mainly due to the 25.0% MTR reduction occurred in February 2014. Such reduction would come to 6.3% with the normalization of this effect, impacted by the lower incoming mobile traffic, reflecting the community effect.

Data and VAS revenue continued to record solid performance in 4Q14, with positive variation of 22.4% in the annual comparison. The success in sales of data packages and plans, and the higher smartphones penetration within our customer base have been drivers for such growth. In 4Q14, data and VAS revenue increased its share to 38.6% of the net mobile service revenue, an evolution of 6.2 p.p. y-o-y. Considering outgoing revenue only, data and VAS accounted for 42.7% in 4Q14.

SMS revenue decreased by 10.5% y-o-y, reflecting the maturity of the service. The variation over last quarter was more controlled (-1.4% q-o-q), due to the adoption to higher value added offers which are integrates SMS, voice and data packages.

Mobile internet revenue maintained high level growth, 32.4% up in the y-o-y comparison, and accounting for 61.3% of data revenue in 4Q14. This performance is directly linked to the strong growth in postpaid data accesses, especially 4G Plus plans, and in the smartphone handset base, which increased by 15 million in 2014. In the pure individual postpaid customer segment, 84% of the customers own smartphones or webphones.

Fourth-quarter VAS revenue climbed by 8.4% over 3Q14 and 37.0% compared to the same period of last year, influenced by the “Plataforma de Educação”, “Vivo Segurança”, “Vivo Sync” and “Vivo Som de Chamada” services, which support the high growth pace of VAS. In 2014, revenue accumulated growth of 42.6% when compared to the previous year.

Other service revenue reached R$117.9 million, 43.7% less than in last quarter. Such result reflects the R$165.8 million ICMS recovery occurred in 4Q13, which increased the comparison basis. In 2014 over 2013, this revenue line grew by 32.3%.

Mobile handset revenue fell 7.2% over 4Q13 and 2.7% over last quarter, with the postpaid customer base growing by 20%, reflecting the rationality of the policy of subsidies currently granted only in sales of handsets to postpaid clients with 4G data plans.

o    Fixed broadband accesses recorded 3,925 thousand customers in 4Q14, a growth of 0.1% over 4Q13, with net additions of 3 thousand accesses, due to the success of the strategy of converting ADSL customers to FTTH.In 2014, Telefônica reached share of 61% of broadband net additions in speeds above 34 Mbps in the state of São Paulo. The FTTH footprint exceeded 4.1 million HP in December 2014 (2.6 million addressable homes*) and the fiber access base already recorded 375 thousand accesses, a 16.3% evolution over the 3Q14 base.

o     Pay TV accesses climbed by 22.3% in the y-o-y comparison, to 771 thousand subscribers in 4Q14, with 43 thousand net additions in the quarter. It is worth mentioning the IPTV technology customer base, which ARPU is higher and already reaches 95 thousand accesses.

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 decreased by 4.8% y-o-y, particularly due to fixed to mobile tariff (VC) reduction on February 24, 2014 and the reduction of the basic tariff provisioned in accordance with ANATEL’s act, in force as of June 04, 2014. Excluding this effect, fixed service net revenue would decrease would be of 1.1% in the period.

 

 

Voice and access revenue decreased by 7.8% over 4Q13, justified by the fixed to mobile substitution, in addition to regulatory impacts. Excluding VC and basic tariff reductions, the variation would be of -0.6% in the y-o-y comparison.

Network usage revenue decreased by 12.9% when compared to 4Q13, due to the lower incoming fixed traffic. Over the previous year, this line grew by 5.5% in 4Q14.

Data revenue reduced by 3.3% y-o-y and 1.6% q-o-q. This evolution was influenced by the fiercer competition in the broadband segment. 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 375 thousand accesses. Data revenue remained virtually stable in 2014, with a variation of 0.1% compared to 2013.

Pay TV revenue grew by 22.2% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, due to the fast growth of the DTH and IPTV subscriber base, with an increased adoption of HD packages, which ARPU is higher.

Other service revenue reduced by 2.8% y-o-y, impacted by the volatility in the sale of equipment linked to contracts with large clients. In the full year, this revenue line climbed by 1.6% over 2013.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, totaled R$6,298.8 million in the fourth quarter, growing 1.8% compared to the same period of last year. On the quarter-over-quarter comparison, operating costs posted variation of 2.0%. Excluding non-recurring effects from organizational restructuring programs occurred in 4Q13 and 4Q14, costs reduced 0.4% over the previous year despite the inflationary impact. This performance was mainly driven by the efforts searching better efficiency and improved business performance, focusing on adding value.

 

 

Personnel costs increased by 27.3% compared to 4Q13 and 31.8% over the previous quarter, impacted by the provision for an organizational restructuring program in the total amount of R$212 million. Excluding this non-recurring effect, this line recorded an annual variation of 6.7% in 4Q14, in line with the period’s inflation. In the full year of 2014, growth came to 4.1% y-o-y, due to the collective bargain granted in January 2014.

The cost of services rendered remained flat in 4Q14 over 4Q13, influenced by the MTR reduction occurred in February 2014. Excluding this effect, the increase came to 6.5%, mainly due to higher site leasing expenses tied to the efforts to ensure quality, increase capacity and expand mobile coverage, mainly in 4G, in addition to increased expenses with purchase of TV and mobile content, which grow in line with the increase in the subscriber base and revenue.

Cost of goods sold increased by 10.8% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, due to the increased volume of higher-value equipment, with 4G technology, in the portfolio mix of handsets, which unit costs and subsidies are higher. In 2014, savings came to 0.5% y-o-y, reflecting the Company’s rationality in granting subsidies.

Service selling expenses recorded a drop of 1.2% in the quarter compared to 4Q13, chiefly due to higher commercial rationality in the period and simplified offers and processes. Third-party services declined y-o-y, influenced by savings mainly related to call center and data processing expenses, reflecting the reformulation and simplification of plans and offers, offsetting the increase in commissioning expenses in the period.

Provisions for bad debt closed 4Q14 at R$237.5 million, with default levels at 1.8% of total gross revenue (+0.5 p.p. y-o-y), due to current market conditions. The Company decided to adopt stricter credit and collection criteria in order to control default levels.

General and administrative expenses fell by 1.2% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, chiefly due to the strict cost control, with savings mainly related to rent. In 2014 over 2013, this reduction came to 2.4%.

Other net operating revenues (expenses) totaled an expense of R$63.8 million in 4Q14, 60% down on 4Q13, justified by the reduced provisions for contingencies in the period.

Ebitda

 

Recurring EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) stood at R$2,960.8 million in 4Q14, 6.6% up on 4Q13, due to the efforts to increase cost efficiency, and the larger higher-value mobile access base. The recurring EBITDA margin reached 32.7%, a y-o-y upturn of 1.5 p.p., compared to the recurring margin of 31.2% in 4Q13.

Net financial expenses increased by 1.8% in 4Q14 when compared to 4Q13, mostly fueled by the Company’s higher net debt.

 

Net Income

4Q14 net income totaled R$1,260.9 million, 2.4% up on the fourth quarter of 2013, mainly due to the higher EBITDA in the y-o-y comparison and the lower depreciation due to the review of assets’ useful life. In the full year of 2014, the Company posted net income of R$4,936.6 million, 32,9% more than in 2013, due to, among other factors, the review, in 2Q14, of intangible asset tax bases, in line with Law 12,973, whose net positive effect in the results amounted to R$1,196.0 million.

In 4Q14, operating cash flow came to R$2,958.4 million, R$403.5 million higher than in 4Q13. Cash used in investment activities increased by R$2,554.8 million, due to the payment for the acquisition of the 700 MHz license in December 2014, and the higher volume payments due to investments in the plant. As a result, cash flow after investment activities consumed R$317.6 million in 4Q14. Cash used in financing activities decreased by R$2,553.0 million, due to reduced dividend and interest on equity payments and obligations maturing in the period.

Operating cash generation in 2014 reached R$9,384.2 million slightly reducing over last year. Cash applied in investment activities recorded an increase of R$2,063.8 million, mainly due to the payment of the 700 MHz license acquisition. As a result, cash flow after investment activities consumed R$2,255.8 million in 2014 compared to 2013. Cash used in financing activities recorded a reduction of R$994.2 million, chiefly reflecting reduced dividend and interest on equity payments, partially offset by the reduced volume of debenture issue/renegotiation in 2014, resulting in an downturn of R$1,261.6 million in cash flow after financing activities.

The Company closed 4Q14 with gross debt of R$7,799.3 million, 15.9% of which denominated in foreign currency. The 10.9% reduction over 4Q13 was mainly driven by the settlement of debentures and amortizations of loans hired with BNDES, BNB and BEI.

Net debt totaled R$2,326.5 million at the close of 4Q14, accounting for 0.22 of the EBITDA of the last 12 months. In comparison with 4Q13, net debt increased by R$526.9 million, mainly explained by the payment of the 700 MHz license to ANATEL in 4Q14. Foreign exchange exposure of debt is 100% covered by hedge transactions.

Additional Notes

 

On September 18, 2014, the Company published a material fact informing 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, which can be financed with a capital increase through public subscription, whose terms and conditions will be opportunely determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

•          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, corresponding 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, exchanged for an 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).

This transaction is subject to the applicable corporate and regulatory approvals, including by the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE) and ANATEL, in addition to other conditions usually applicable to this type of transaction.

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.
