As of 3Q16, for a better understanding of the business and to better reflect the results of our digital initiatives, digital services and VAS revenues were booked under the same line. With this in mind and for comparison purposes, historical figures were reclassified. The complete history of 2015 and 2016 data can be found on our website ( www.telefonica.com.br/ir) |
Net mobile revenue climbed 2.7% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, thanks to the upturn in mobile services revenue, 3.7% up y-o-y, influenced by the continuous increase in data and digital services revenue, partially offset by lower voice revenue, the effect from MTR reductions in February 2017 (+6.1% excluding the regulatory effect), in addition to the lower revenue from the sale of handsets. The increase in mobile services revenue was affected by one-time revenues coming from wholesale agreements in 3Q16. Excluding this effect, mobile services revenue grew 6.2% y-o-y in 3Q17.
Outgoing voice revenue fell 36.2% versus 3Q16, mainly reflecting the higher consumption of data services as a substitute for voice services, in addition to the wholesalerevenues already mentioned recorded in 3Q16. The prepaid segment wasalso influenced by the y-o-y reduction in the volume of recharges, mainly due to the current macroeconomic conditions. | ||
Mobile services revenue expanded by 3.7% in 3Q17, fueled by data |
||
Interconnection revenue rose 9.1% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, mainly due to higher incoming traffic from other operators, partially offset by the MTR tariff reduction in February 2017 (-45.6%). | ||

|
Data and digital services revenue rose 28.2% in 3Q17 over 3Q16 and continued to be the main source of the Company’s revenue growth, reflecting our strategy focused on data. This performance was influenced by the upselling of data bundles, particularly in postpaid offers, due to the higher adherence to family plans and the strong growth of our digital revenues. In 3Q17, data and digital services revenue represented 72.9% of net mobile services revenue, up by 13.9 p.p. y-o-y. SMS (P2P Messaging) revenue fell 9.1% y-o-y in 3Q17, reflecting the lower consumption of this service due to its maturity. Mobile internet revenue posted growth of 23.2% y-o-y, accounting for 71.0% of data and digital services revenue in 3Q17. This performance is directly linked to the growth of postpaid data accesses, particularly in 4G plans, the increased sale of stand-alone data packages and customer base using smartphones. In September 2017, 81.5% of our customer base already had smartphones or web phones, 3.9 p.p. up on 3Q16. | |
Data and digital services revenue rose 28.2% y-o- y, accounting for 72.9% of mobile services revenue in 3Q17 |
Digital services revenue climbed 78.0% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, mainly due to the inclusion of value added services in hybrid and prepaid plans (GoRead, NBA and Kantoo) during the quarter. | |
|
Other services revenue contracted R$ 5.3 million y-o-y, mainly due to the subsidies granted to Vivo Valoriza, the Company’s customer loyalty program, which has been increasingly adopted by our customers.

1) Broadband revenue includes residential clients and SMEs. 2) Non-voice revenue includes revenues for Broadband, Corporate Data and IT, Pay TV and Other Services. |
Net revenue from the fixed business rose 0.5% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, impacted by the increase in broadband, corporate data and IT revenue, partially offset by fixed-to-mobile tariff (VC) and fixed interconnection tariff (TU-RL and TU-RIU) reductions in February 2017. Excluding the negative effect from tariff reductions, net fixed services revenue increased by 1.8%.
Voice revenue fell 10.9% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, mainly due to the maturity of the service and the fixed-to-mobile substitution. Excluding VC reductions (-17.7%), voice revenue fell 8.3% y-o-y.
Interconnection revenue moved down by 28.6% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, due to the reduction in TU-RL (-35.3%) and TU-RIU (-50.9%) in February 2017. Excluding this effect, interconnection revenue contracted by 11.9%, due to the lower incoming traffic.
Broadband revenue rose 19.2% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, fueled by the increase in ultra-broadband revenue, which accounted for approximately 61.8% of this line in the period and grew 23.1% over the previous year, reflecting the Company’s efforts to expand the base and customer migration to higher speeds, fueling fiber accesses, with higher ARPUs, in addition to expanding the FTTH network to new cities.
Non-voice revenue accounted for 60.2% of fixed net revenue in 3Q17 |
Corporate data and IT revenue rose 6.6% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, mainly influenced by the negotiation of new agreements with large companies. This quarter, we reclassified B2B equipment revenue from “Other services” to “Corporate data and IT”, in order to aggregate services in their respective segments. The 2016 and 2017 historical figures can be found in the exhibit on page 19. | |
UBB and IPTV revenues grew 23.1% and 76.8% in 3Q17, respectively |
Pay TV revenue contracted 0.5% in 3Q17 over 3Q16. The Company continued with its selective strategy for this service, focusing on higher-value products, such as IPTV, whose revenue grew 76.8% y-o-y, in order to improve customer experience and optimize the profitability of this service. | |

1) Excludes the non-recurring effect from the sale of towers in 1Q16, positively impacting costs by R$513.5 million, and the corporate restructuring in 2Q16, which generated a negative impact of R$101.2 million. |
The Company’s operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, totaled R$7,209.0 million in 3Q17, 1.0% down on 3Q16, in a period when inflation was 2.5% (IPCA-12M).
Personnel costs rose by 1.0% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, below the period’s inflation, mainly due to the collective bargaining agreement with base date in September 2016 (average increase of 8.0%), partially offset by restructuring processes in recent years. | ||
Operating costs decreased 1.0% y-o-y in 3Q17 | ||
The cost of services rendered contracted by 4.7% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, positively influenced by MTR/VC and TU-RL/TU-RIU reductions in February 2017. Excluding this effect, costs remained flat (+0.1% y-o-y) due to greater synergies related to TV content as of 4Q16 and lower mobile content expenses. | ||
8
Cost of goods sold (COGS) fell 5.8% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, reflecting the Company’s strategy of focusing on higher-value clients and profitability. | ||
Cost of services rendered fell 4.7% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, influenced by regulatory effects, efficiency measures and the capture of synergies |
Commercial expenses climbed 4.8% in 3Q17 over 3Q16, mainly due to higher commission expenses associated with ARPU growth and increased volume of net additions in high-end customers (postpaid and ultra-broadband services). | |
Provisions for bad debt closed 3Q17 at R$380.4 million, 2.6% up on 2Q17, mainly due to the larger postpaid and broadband customer base.

The Company continued adopting effective collection initiatives and strict credit granting criteria, in the constant pursuit of greater efficiency in identifying clients’ risk profile. | ||
Third-party services grew 2.7% in 3Q17, influenced by higher expenses due to the expansion of sales in the postpaid and ultra-broadband segments, the latter due to increased FTTH sales, wich was fueled by the launch of the services in new cities. The increase is partially offset by the reduction in the costs from mailing and billing, reflecting the Company’s efforts with digitalization initiatives, which contribute to a higher penetration level of e-billing in our customer base and a higher e-commerce share in products and services sales. | ||
Commercial expenses rose 4.8% y-o-y in 3Q17, due to the strong commercial activity in higher-value segments |
||
General and administrative expenses remained stable in 3Q17, registering a slight increase of 1.4% y-o-y. | ||

DEBT
Up to 2Q17, the net debt methodology did not include the Contingent Consideration guarantee asset, although the Contingent Consideration was always included in liabilities. Therefore, for the alignment of the classification criteria, we included the Contingent Consideration guarantee asset for the pro forma net debt and leverage.
