1) New accounting standard in force since January 2018, which requires revenue to be recognized based on the contract with the customer, not necessarily aligned with billing. For Vivo, revenue recognition of mobile offers with handset subsidy will change, as the subsidy will now be distributed between services and handset.  In addition, certain costs to acquire customers through contract will now have to be capitalized if the amortization period is >12 months;

2) Excludes the following non-recurring effects: positive effect of R$1,830.2M, mainly due to final judgment in the Superior Court of Justice, in favor of the Company, recognizing the right to deduct the ICMS from the basis of calculation of PIS/COFINS contributions; expense of R$92.0M due to the adoption of a risk assessment model to calculate labor contingencies; expense of R$170.6M due to the write-off assets related to judicial deposits; expense of R$116.9M due to organizational restructuring.

Net Mobile revenue increased 4.2% y-o-y in 2Q18. This growth was mainly due to the expansion of Data and Digital Services Revenues (+11.5% y-o-y), higher Net Handset Revenues (+60.5% y-o-y), and the dissemination of unlimited voice plans in the sector that positively reflected in the Interconnection Revenues (+22.8% y-o-y). On the other hand, the maturity of services such as Voice and SMS affected negatively the performance of Net Mobile Revenues.

Outgoing Voice Revenues fell 29.7% in comparison to 2Q17, mainly reflecting the migration to data services consumption. In addition, the prepaid segment continued to be influenced by the lower volume of top-ups in the annual comparison, mainly due to macroeconomic conditions and the migration of customers to hybrid plans.

 

Interconnection Revenues grew 22.8% compared to 2Q17, mainly due to the expansion of unlimited voice plans in the sector, partially offset by the MTR tariff reduction in February 2018.

 

Data and Digital Services Revenues increased 11.5% y-o-y in 2Q18 and continued to be the Company’s main driver of revenue growth, as a result of our data-centric strategy. For a further quarter, the significant growth of the Digital Services Revenues and the higher adoption of the family plans contributed to this performance. In the quarter, Data and Digital Services Revenues rose to 78.5% of Net Mobile Services Revenues, up 6.8 p.p. y-o-y.

 

SMS (P2P Messaging) Revenues registered a reduction of 21.8% y-o-y in 2Q18, reflecting the lower consumption of this service due to its maturity.

 

Mobile Internet Revenues decreased 13.3% in the annual comparison. This performance was directly related to the higher usage and consumption of digital services, reflecting in the migration of revenues between the lines.

 

In 2Q18, Digital Services Revenues presented an increase of 177.2% y-o-y, representing 33.3% of the Data and Digital Services Revenues (+19.9 p.p.), due to the inclusion of value-added services in the prepaid, hybrid and pure postpaid offerings since 2017.

 

Net Handset Revenues presented an increase of 60.5% over the same quarter of the previous year, in line with the strategy of accelerating and gaining market share in this relevant and expanding business, through our brand and our sales channels, attracting high value consumers to our physical and online stores.

o   Total fixed accesses reached 22,537 thousand in 2Q18, a decrease of 3.1% compared to the second quarter of the previous year, mainly affected by the performance of voice accesses, due to the maturity of this service, and the strategic decision of deprioritizing growth in Pay TV with DTH technology.

 

o   Fixed Voice accesses totaled 13,460 thousand in 2Q18, decreasing 5.0% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the fixed-to-mobile substitution and the voice-to-data migration. Voice ARPU decreased by 12.9% year-over-year, reflecting the maturity of this service.

 

o   Fixed Broadband accesses recorded 7.5 million customers in 2Q18, 0.4% more than in 2Q17. The UBB customer base grew 9.8% y-o-y in 2Q18 and reached 4.8 million accesses, of which 1.6 million in FTTH technology, up 45.3% on the previous year. UBB customers already represent 64.2% of total broadband accesses, fueling ARPU, which grew 12.0% y-o-y in the quarter.

 

o   Pay TV accesses decreased 2.0% compared to 2Q17 (+1.4% over 1Q18), ending the second quarter with 1.6 million subscribers, due to the Company's strategic decision to deprioritize the DTH technology. The improvement in the trend, when compared to the last quarter, is due to the IPTV accesses that grew 50.7% y-o-y in 2Q18, resulting from the higher take-up of this product in FTTH customer acquisitions. TV ARPU increased by 4.0% y-o-y this quarter, reflecting the Company's strategy of focusing on higher-value customers.

1) Broadband Revenue includes residential customers and SMEs;

2) Non-voice revenue includes revenue from Broadband, Corporate Data and IT, Pay TV and Other Services.

 

Net Fixed Revenues decreased 3.7% in 2Q18 compared to the same period of last year, impacted by lower Voice Revenues, the cut in the fixed-to-mobile tariff (VC) and the reduction in the fixed interconnection tariff (TU-RL and TU-RIU) in February 2018, partially offset by the positive evolution of Broadband and Corporate Data and IT Revenues.

 

   

Voice revenue decreased 16.8% in the period against 2Q17, mainly due to service maturity and fixed-to-mobile substitution.

 

Interconnection revenue presented a reduction of 11.5% when compared to 2Q17, due to the reduction in TU-RL (-35.5%) and TU-RIU (-54.4%) in February 2018.

 

Broadband revenue increased 13.0% in 2Q18, driven by the evolution of the ultra-broadband revenues, which represented approximately 66.1% of this revenue in the period and grew 19.6% year-over-year. These results reflect the Company's efforts to expand the base and migrate customers to higher speeds, fueling fiber accesses with higher ARPU, as well as the expansion of the FTTH network to 16 new cities in 2017 and 10 new cities by the end of July 2018. FTTH Revenues grew 48.3% y-o-y.

 

Corporate Data and IT Revenues grew 4.8% y-o-y, mainly driven by the negotiation of new contracts with large companies in the quarter.

 

In 2Q18, Pay TV revenue registered growth of 0.6% in the annual comparison. The Company continued with its selective strategy for this service, focusing on higher value products such as IPTV, which presented revenue growth of 59.1% y-o-y, in order to provide the best customer experience and optimize the profitability of this business.

Personnel Costs grew 15.7% year-over-year, mainly due to the organizational restructuring, which resulted in non-recurring costs in the amount of R$116.9 million. Excluding this effect, costs increased 3.0% y-o-y, due to the effect of inflation on salaries and benefits in the period.

Cost of Services Rendered in 2Q18 recorded a growth of 2.1% in relation to 2Q17, mainly due to higher interconnection costs related to higher outgoing off net traffic in the quarter, in addition to the costs of expanding the mobile and fixed networks. On the other hand, cost expansion was partially offset by reductions in MTR/VC and TU-RL/TU-RIU in February 2018.
