This scenario has enabled us to achieve profitable growth. In the quarter, our total net revenue grew by 13.6%, despite the discontinuation of the long distance service. EBITDA increased 9.4% and the EBITDA margin over net revenue was 34.7%, while service EBITDA margin reached 43.6% . Our net income reached R$96.8 million, totaling R$254.2 million in the first nine months of 2005.

The Management
2
| Strong Brand and Differentiated Offers |
| Top of Mind 2005 | TIM Participações closed the quarter with the highest customer satisfaction rates in its regions according to a national quality research, which has been carried out every two month by a recognized institution. TIM was awarded the "Top of Mind 2005", for being the first Mobile Telecommunications Company that came to the mind of the people polled by “Data Folha de São Paulo”. This award substantiates the success of our products and the quality of our services. | |
| Competitive offers and Services | The quarter was marked by a strong increment in sales, and the campaigns targeted mostly the commemorative date of the period: "Father’s Day". The marketing strategy continues focused on customer acquisition, in particular high- value customers - the main postpaid growth-driver in 2005 -, as well as retaining the loyalty of current users. | |
In the quarter, we expanded the "TIM Brasil" service portfolio, comprising nation-wide plans aimed at acquiring high-value customers. We highlighted the launching of the "Nosso Grupo" plan, a package including local calls, intragroup calls, “TIM Box Vip calls”, “TIM Connect” and “TIM Wap”. | ||
The VAS portfolio was expanded with corporate and consumer solutions, such as "Mega TIM 200 Torpedos" and "Mega TIM Mania". "TIM Fast Edge" was enhanced, thereby making internet navigation from laptops easier with EDGE technology. We also offered "TIM Light 40", which was a great success with postpaid customers, and "TIM + 25", catering to high-value prepaid customers. | ||
| Operating Performance |
| Sharp penetration increase | By the end of the quarter, the total penetration – including both the Northeastern and Southern Regions - was estimated at 37.6% - 12.4 p.p. over 3Q04 -, below the national average penetration of 43.4%, showing potential for growth in the regional market, in which TIM Participações benefited through its unique service portfolio. | |
| Strong growth of the client base | TIM Participações client base has reached 6,943,313 subscribers by the end of 3Q05, a 34.5% and 7.0% expansion over 3Q04 and 2Q05, respectively. As a result the Company market share remained almost stable, now standing at 41.3% compared to 41.9% in the 2Q05. | |
3
| The highest postpaid mix | With reference to the customer mix, the postpaid segment grew by 9.0% in the 3Q05 compared to 3Q04, bringing the participation of postpaid clients to 21% of the total lines - the highest mix in the market. | |
The quarter has presented the second highest level of net additions in 2005 with 453,231 new clients, 26.5% higher than the 358,263 additions registered in 3Q04. This growth is a consequence of TIM Participações’ strong position in the markets where it operates. | ||
Client Base (Thousands)
| Fast expansion of the GSM base | By the end of the quarter, 58% of TIM Participações’ clients used GSM technology – 4,050,202 clients, representing 68% and 48% of the client base in the Southern and Northeastern regions, respectively. During the quarter the Company experienced 126.8 thousand TDMA to GSM migrations, totaling 419.1 thousand migrations since the beginning of the year. | |
The GSM coverage in the TIM Participações’ region reached 630 cities by the end of the third quarter of 2005, serving to 86.8% of the urban population. Cities covered by the GSM have access to the GPRS, with the additional benefit of the EDGE technology across the South and part of Northeast Region. These innovations facilitated the use of data and multimedia services by customers all over Brazil. | ||
The scenario of strong growth and fierce competition, resulted in a churn rate of 6.4% in the quarter (or 2.1% per month), 1.0 p.p. higher than the churn rates registered in the 3Q04, although still below the Brazilian average. | ||

| Economic-Financial Development |

Operating Revenue
The service gross revenue in 3Q05 totaled R$796.8 million, 12.7% superior to that registered in the same quarter of the previous year. This growth is primarily due to the 34.5% expansion of the client base and the 64.7% value added service revenue growth. | ||
| Mobile telephone sales record | The gross handsets revenue in the quarter was R$ 189.6 million, a 16.0% increase over 3Q04, a result of the increase in mobile telephone sales. In the 3Q05, 688.2 thousand mobile telephones were sold, an increase of 52% compared to 452.4 thousand in the 3Q04. | |
It is important to mention that among the handsets sold in the quarter, 39% were compatible with GPRS technology. The most-sold models were those enabled with MMS (41%), JAVA (32%) and Camera (22%), indicating that customers are demanding more sophisticated handsets. | ||
5
Hence, total gross revenue in 3Q05 was R$986.5 million, 13.3% higher than in 3Q04. Total revenue net of taxes and discounts was R$736.1 million, surpassing by 13.6%, the figure posted in 3Q04. | ||
| ARPU: - new revenue breakdown - Prepaid expansion YOY | The average revenue per user (ARPU) in 3Q05 was R$27.86, with a slight reduction compared to 2Q05 (R$29.70), mainly due to the great volume of net additions registered in the period (+453,231). The decrease in comparison to the 3Q04 (R$34.40), results basically from the large growth of the total client base and from the discontinuation of the international and national long-distance services in 2005. | |
Operational Costs and Expenses
| Reduction of net work and interconnection costs | In 3Q05, the network and interconnection cost totaled R$ 111.9 million, 2.7% below the R$ 115.0 million registered in 3Q04, primarily due to the non- occurrence of the costs related to long distance services with the interruption of these services as of early 2005, which was greatly offset by the growth of outgoing revenues. | |
The cost of goods sold reached R$134.7 million, 7.9% superior to the R$ 124.9 million in the 3Q04. This increase is primarily due to the 52% growth in the mobile telephone sold. It is important to point out that even within the competitive environment; the Company has maintained mobile telephone prices above the market’s average. | ||
| 2005: Sale Record in - 872 thousand gross additions | Commercial expenses in the quarter (excluding depreciation/amortization / bad debt and personnel) totaled R$144.0 million, 33.2% superior to those posted in 3Q04, primarily due to the strong sales growth in the period with gross addition of 872,142 clients in the quarter, versus 625,151 clients in 3Q04, a growth of 39.5%. The figure posted in this quarter represents a record for the Company in a single quarter. | |
The sales increase in the period leveraged especially variable expenses related to sales incentives and the FISTEL rate - charged by ANATEL at each new activation and over the total base. In 3Q05, these expenses reached R$65.0 million and R$31.7 million, respectively. | ||
| SAC: Reduction of 22% in 3Q05 versus 3Q04 | The subscribers acquisition cost (SAC) of the quarter reached R$106.9, which represents a 22% reduction over the R$137.8 posted in 3Q04. This decrease is a result of the Company’s rational market strategy in the acquisition of new clients, which have benefited from the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar and the lower average prices of mobile telephones. | |
6
General and administrative expenses (G&A)- excluding depreciation/amortization and personnel expenses – totaled R$ 26.2 million, 23.5% lower than in 3Q04. Two factors are related to this expense behavior: a) Reduction in the IT equipment maintenance costs in the 3Q05; and b)In 3Q04 non-recurring expenses related to the ownership restructuring process, with the incorporation of Tele Nordeste by the Company. |
||||||||||||||
Personnel expenses and costs totaled R$33.0 million– 19.5% higher than those registered in the 3Q04. This increase was mainly due to non-recurring expenses related to the network maintenance staff, which is in the process of being outsourced. | ||||||||||||||
| Update of bad debt provision criteria | In the 3Q05, bad debt expenses totaled R$24.3 million, increasing as a percentage of total gross revenues from 1.7% in the 3Q04 to 2.5% in the 3Q05. The increase is especially due to the adoption of more conservative criteria for the establishment of the bad debt provision, taking into account the strong growth in postpaid customers. It is worth pointing out that all these procedures aim to maintain the quality of our client base. | |||||||||||||
| EBITDA | ||||||||||||||
TIM Participações reported an increase of 9.4% in EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or R$255.2 million in the quarter, compared to R$233.3 million in 3Q04. This is proof that despite the competitive scenario and record gross additions in the quarter, the Company has achieved profitable growth. | ||||||||||||||
