| Financial and Operational Highlights | ||
|
| Message from the Management |
On February 1st, 2006, we announced to the market our intention to incorporate TIM Celular’s shares into TIM Participações, in order to concentrate Telecom Italia Group’s Brazilian mobile telecommunication operations in a single company listed on Bovespa and NYSE, TIM Participações S.A.
We are very pleased with the results. The process was conducted in a transparent manner, similarly to other restructurings promoted by the Group. The transaction was approved without any restrictions arising from the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 16, 2006. Such transparency and fair treatment of all our shareholders was also evidenced by the fact that any of our shareholders exercised the withdrawal right offered by the Company
TIM Participações is currently one of the largest mobile telecom companies in Brazil in terms of market capitalization and, therefore, an attractive investment option. Furthermore, the market and customers increasingly view us as a unique company with national scope.
We are also satisfied with the Company’s operating and financial performance in its first consolidated result. Our customer base grew by 43.5%, from 14.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 to 21.0 million in the end of March 2006. In addition, our strict cost control, boosted by increasing scale gains, allowed a substantial EBITDA expansion, 58.3% higher in a YoY comparison, resulting in a 24.3% EBITDA margin, a 6.2 p.p. increment. Our strategy, based on attracting and retaining high-value customers, has been supporting our history of growth with profitability.
In this quarter, we continued investing in customer satisfaction and moved on with our True Caring project. The Company’s efforts to the service quality continuous improvement can be evidenced from systems integration projects - such as Customer Profiling, Pre-Routing and the Network Management Center - which reinforced the way we are evaluated by the market. These new tools will introduce improvements in customer segmentation throughout 2006, in order to satisfy and anticipate clients’ needs.
Under this concept, we continue to develop innovative marketing services and promotions. In this quarter, for example, postpaid launches were focused on mobility and convenience, respecting the customers’ usage profile coupled with their need to control expenses. On the other hand, in the prepaid segment, while we gave priority to low acquisition cost promotions that complement tariff plans, we also launched the “TIM +5” plan, which, along with “TIM +25”, represents TIM’s exclusive segmented offers. To the Corporate market, we are still the sole operator to offer the Blackberry services, which have been extended to the consumer segment in the period. We are confident that we are reinforcing the concept of easy and useful innovation for the customer.
We believe the figures discussed in this document confirm we are on the right track to create value for our shareholders.

| Incorporation of TIM Celular’s shares by TIM Participações |
On March 16, 2006, an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of TIM Participações S.A. approved the incorporation of all shares of TIM Celular S.A. by TIM Participações S.A., converting the Company into a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIM Participações S.A.
| Analysis of the Operating and Financial Performance |
In order to provide an adequate comparison base to the 1Q06 figures, “pro-forma” financial statements for the first quarter of 2005 were elaborated, as if the share incorporation process mentioned above had occurred on January 1st, 2005.
| Operating Performance |
| Continuous market expansion | The Brazilian market closed March 2006 with 89.4 million clients, a 30.3% increase when compared to the 68.5 million registered in the same period of 2005. The national penetration reached 48.1%, 0.8 p.p. and 10.1 p.p. higher when compared to 4Q05 and 1Q05 ratios, respectively. |
|
In the quarter, the total net additions in the market were 3.2 million clients, compared to 3.0 million in the same period of the previous year. In the same period, the Company added 846.8 thousand new clients to its base, confirming its substantial participation in the market growth (26.5% incremental market share). |
||
| Market share expansion: 23.5% in 1Q06 | TIM Participações ended the first quarter of 2006 with 21.0 million clients, a 43.5% expansion when compared to the same period in 2005. The Company has been presenting continuous growth since the beginning of 2005, and increasing its market share from 21.3% in 1Q05 to 23.5% in 1Q06 – an annual increase of 2.2 p.p. When the richest areas of the country are concerned, the trend was even better. For instance, in São Paulo capital - which represents 9.4% of the total Brazilian GDP, our market share was 25.9%, 4.0p. p. and 7.4 p.p. higher than 4Q05 and 1Q05 figures, respectively. In the Southern region (including Paraná and Santa Catarina states), where we compete with three other players, our market share stood at 45.5%, and our incremental market share was 35.6% . |
|
| Postpaid mix increment | Along the quarter, the Brazilian operators increased their focus on the postpaid segment. Even with this movement, TIM Participações postpaid mix continues to be superior to those presented by the market. The postpaid base grew 39.9% in the last twelve months, representing a 20.6% participation in the total client base – higher than the national average. |
|
3 / 15
| TIM: the largest GSM client base |  |
At the end of the quarter, 84.6% of TIM Participações’ clients used GSM technology. The GSM coverage reached 91% of the country’s urban population, offering service to 2,342 cities. All municipalities covered by GSM have access to GPRS, while 400 cities have the additional benefit of the EDGE technology. These innovations facilitate and stimulate clients to use data and multimedia services, which is reflected on the strong growth of our VAS revenues.
The Company maintained an average churn rate of 2.4% per month, in line with the monthly average reported in 2005.
| Marketing Activities |
Notwithstanding the Brazilian mobile market increasingly rational attitude in the quarter, some players still offered some aggressive promotions in terms of handsets subsidies. Even facing such scenario, the Company maintained its strategy, focused on high-value client acquisition and retention, keeping handsets prices above the market’s average.
In order to face the market aggressiveness without losing its focus on profitability, the Company went further with the segmentation of its services. As an extension of “TIM +25” plan, it launched the “TIM +5” plan, both targeted to high-value customers pertaining to the prepaid segment. These plans have been growing faster and represented more than one third of the period’s additions.
Also focusing on the low acquisition cost, the “TIM Chip Only” promotion was launched, based on bonuses for the recharges made in up to 48 hours after the activation. In this case, we stimulate the utilization of the service, while minimizing the impact on profitability through a subsidy reduction.
Innovation has always been a strong attribute for the TIM brand. Thus, we highlight the new “Blackberry Corporate” prices and conditions and the launch of the “Blackberry Professional” offer, targeted to the consumer segment. The Company remains as the exclusive operator to offer this service in Brazil.
4 / 15
Concurrently, “TIM Brasil” plans were further developed, targeting nationwide and heavy user’s packages. Focusing on convenience, the company went on with the “TIM Conta Fixa” and “TIM Mais 40” plans, allowing the control of expenses and the facilities of the direct debt.
Regarding VAS, we focused on increasing the penetration and usage of the service. In 1Q06 we registered a significant increase in the usage of SMS and data services (+54% from SMS and +336% from data compared to 1Q05). We also launched a more attractive WAP portal, with new partnerships and enhanced content.

Operating Revenues
| Strong service revenue growth | The gross service revenue in the first quarter of 2006 reached R$ 2.5 billion, 24.5% revenue growth higher than in 2005. This growth is attributed to the solid performance of both voice and VAS revenues. | |
| In the quarter, voice revenues benefited from the significant growth of our customer base and increased traffic volumes. | ||
| VAS revenues in the 1Q06 was R$ 185.0 million, and its growth remains very healthy as demonstrated by the 45% increase, when compared to 1Q05. | ||
5 / 15
Looking at the VAS revenues in more detail, it is worth to notice the outstanding performance of the innovative VAS services (MMS, GPRS, downloads, etc) that represent 34% of the total VAS revenues in the period. |
||
The gross handsets revenue in the quarter was R$ 423.3 million, a 6.5% increase when compared to 1Q05. This growth, considering the reduction in the volume of handsets sold, is related to the change in the mix, which evidences a strong increase on sales of more sophisticated handsets (high and mid), which include several features (Tri-Band, MP3, MMS, GPRS, EDGE, infra-red, Bluetooth, browsers, Internet, e-mail, Java, etc.), which are capable of extending the possibilities to access data services, contents and new solutions. |
||
| ARPU under seasonal effect | Hence, total gross revenue in the 1Q06 was R$ 2.9 billion, or 21.5% higher than the ARPU under reported in the previous year. Deducting taxes and other items, total net revenue was seasonal effect R$ 2.1 billion in 1Q06 versus R$ 1.8 billion in 1Q05, a 17.6% growth. |
|
The average revenue per user (ARPU) in 1Q06 was R$ 30.0. ARPU relative to 4Q05 and 1Q05 was R$ 33.6 and R$ 36.0, respectively. The reduction in 1Q06, when compared to 4Q05, is primarily due to the seasonal effect, when the sector has historically presented a 8 to 10% decrease in ARPU, due to a reduced number of working days. When compared to 1Q05, the ARPU decrease basically reflects the expressive growth in mobile penetration – especially the 44.4% expansion in the prepaid base. |
||
| Operational Costs and Expenses | ||
In the first quarter, the network and interconnection cost totaled R$ 457.6 million, 11.2% above the R$ 411.4 million reported in the same period of the previous year. This increase is primarily due to the strong expansion in the outgoing traffic (+78.1%) and in costs related to the coverage expansion and capacity of the GSM network. |
||
| Lower cost of handsets sold | The cost of goods sold – basically composed of handsets and accessories sales – reached R$ 304.2 million, 7.7% lower compared to the R$ 329.5 million registered in 1Q05, due to a 8.3% YoY decrease in the volume of handsets sold (1.2 million in 1Q05 versus 1.1 million in 1Q06). |
|
Commercial expenses (without depreciation/amortization, bad debt and personnel expenses) totaled R$ 508.3 million, 12.9% higher than those reported in 1Q05, primarily due to the 17% growth in gross client additions (2,327,445 clients in 1Q06 versus 1,989,305 in 1Q05). The client base expansion in the period boosted mainly the variable expenses related to sales commission and the FISTEL rate – charged by ANATEL on the activation of each line and over total initial base. In the first quarter of 2006, these expenses reached R$ 191.6 million (+13%) and R$ 91.7 million (+26%), respectively. |
||
6 / 15
| SAC: 21.1% reduction in 1Q06 versus 1Q05 | The subscribers’ acquisition cost (SAC) reached R$ 150.0, representing a 21.1% decrease when compared to R$ 190.0 reported in 1Q05. Such reduction, in one side, derived from even higher efforts from the Company, especially considering the substantial participation of the postpaid users on
gross
additions. On the other side, SAC’s improvement also reflects our strategy to keep higher-entry prices for our handsets in the prepaid segment, with a positive impact on the level of subsidies. Lastly, it is important to mention that such improvement was also leveraged by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar, which has allowed the reduction of the average purchasing prices of handsets, even facing an improved mix of handsets. |
|
General and administrative expenses (G&A) – excluding depreciation/amortization and personnel expenses – totaled R$ 120.2 million in the first quarter of 2006, 27.8% higher than the reported in 1Q05, due to the increase in third party services and equipment and IT software maintenance expenses, which totaled R$ 56.2 million and R$ 38.1 million, respectively. It is worth mentioning that in 1Q06 non-recurring expenses reached R$ 5.5 million, referring to the Company’s corporate restructuring. |
||
Personnel expenses totaled R$ 143.0 million in 1Q06 versus R$ 116.8 million in the 1Q05, a 22.4% increase. This increase was especially due to the headcount growth, which increased from 7,146 in 1Q05 to 9,167 in 1Q06, as a result of the improvements on customer service and relationship, as well as on pre and post-sale support. |
||
| Stable bad debt level as percentage of total gross revenues | Bad debt expenses totaled R$ 89.4 million in 1Q06, compared to R$ 75.6 million reported in the 1Q05. The percentage on total gross revenues reached 3.1%, remaining stable for both periods. |
|
EBITDA |
||
| EBITDA: sharp rebound in profitability | In 1Q06, TIM Participações reported a 58.3% growth on EBITDA (operating result before net financial expenses excluding depreciation and amortization), which totaled R$ 518.2 million, compared to R$ 327.3 million in 1Q05, demonstrating that even in a competitive market, the Company presents profitable growth. |

18.1% in 1Q05. EBITDA service margin reached 29.1%, 5.0 p.p. higher than those reported in 1Q05. |
|
Depreciation and Amortization |
||
Expenses with depreciation and amortization amounted to R$ 547.0 million in the quarter, 24.8% higher than the R$ 438.3 million reported in 1Q05, reflecting the 6% fixed assets growth in the period, resulting mainly from the expansion and innovation of both network and information technology infrastructure. In 1Q06, depreciation and amortization included R$ 62.0 million relative to TIM Maxitel and TIM Celular’s concessions, which expire in 2013 and 2016, respectively. |
||
EBIT |
||
EBIT – earnings before interest and taxes – was negative in R$ 28.7 million, a 74.1% recovery compared to 1Q05 losses in the amount of R$ 111.0 million. EBIT margin was 1.4% negative, representing a 4.7 p.p. improvement when compared to 1Q05. |
||
Net Financial Result |
||
TIM Participações net financial result was 29.3% higher than the reported in 1Q05, representing R$ 86.5 million expenses in 1Q06 against R$ 66.9 million expenses in 1Q05. The increase is related to the acquisition of loans and financings along 2005, in order to meet the investments and working capital needs. |
||
Indebtedness |
||
At the end of 1Q06, the Company’s net debt (total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) was R$ 1.5 billion, compared to R$ 1.4 billion in 1Q05 and R$ 97.4 million at the end of 2005. Such increment is mainly related to the working capital seasonal effect, which, in the first quarter, reflects the negative effects of the disbursements related to the payment of investments on 4Q05, the handsets acquired in the same period, as part of the Christmas sales campaigns (period of peak sales during the year) and the payment of the annual FISTEL tax on the customer base (R$ 301.8 million in 1Q06). It is worth mentioning that 43% of the investments from 2005, amounting to R$ 1,1 million, were made in the 4Q05. |
||
On March 31, 2006 the Company’s debt was R$ 2.4 billion, which include long term loans and financing from BNDES (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social) and BNB (Banco do Nordeste do Brasil). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to R$ 896.7 million, mainly composed of highly liquid financial investments. |
||
8 / 15
| Net Result | ||
| Moving towards break-even point: reduction of losses | The net loss of the quarter was R$ 151.7 million, a 34.5% decrease when compared to the same period of 2005, demonstrating the improvement in the Company’s operating result, which is headed towards the break-even point. |
|
