Basis for presentation of results

Figures disclosed are subject to differences, due to rounding-up procedures. Information for 2008 was prepared in combination with the results of Telemig Celular Participações, thus allowing comparison with the year-to-date results for 2009, in which Telemig data is already consolidated and, whenever applicable, re-classified. Worthy of mention that year-to-date figures for 2008 are positively impacted by the R$240 million of ICMS tax reversal in Telemig.

Due to the effects of the adjustments provided for in Laws no. 11.638/07 and no. 11.941/09, some figures stated in the 2Q08, such as: Depreciation of the mercantile-financial lease of information technology equipment, pursuant to the CPC 06 standards; Financial revenue (expenses) arising out of adjustments to fair value of derivatives and loans transactions, when applicable, pursuant to the CPC 14 standards; Financial expenses arising out of adjustment to present value of the ICMS (CIAP) tax on acquisitions of fixed assets, using the Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”) and Income tax (25%) and social contribution on net income (9%), applied to all the above referred adjustments, were reclassified for purpose of comparison between periods.

Investments in the GSM and WCDMA/HSUPA networks.

CAPEX in 2Q09 represents 15.4% of the net revenue. The expenditures were intended for ensuring: continued quality of the network in order to support the accelerated growth that Vivo has been experiencing, the increase of the GSM/EDGE capacity, the continued expansion of the WCDMA/HSUPA network, and the launching of the company’s operation in the Northeast region, in addition to meeting the coverage goals set forth by Anatel. The year-to-date CAPEX amounted R$ 1,148.1 million, lower than the amount recorded in the same period of previous year, due to the investment stability.

Increase of 161% in operating cash generation.

In 2Q09 the Company generated R$ 1,616.2 million of operating cash, part of which was used for defraying payments arising out of investments effected (R$ 605.4 million). The cash balance remaining after the investment activities (R$1,010.8 million) together with the available cash was used to pay debts and the hedge thereof.

In the comparison with 1Q09, an increase of 161% was recorded in cash generated from operating activities. This growth is due to lower expenses with suppliers, taxes, fees and contributions (in 1Q09 the Company paid the Installation and Inspection Fee (TFF) charged by Anatel). Such growth was partially offset by an increase in cash used in financing activities, causing the Cash Flow After Investment Activities to increase by R$932.2 million.

In the comparison with 2Q08, an increase of R$2,157.9 million was recorded in the cash flow after investment activities. This is basically due to the increase in the operating cash generation, as well as to the fact that 2Q08 was impacted by the acquisition of Telemig Participações S.A.. While in 2Q09 the Company invested R$1,039.3 million in financing activities (reducing its indebtedness), in 2Q08 it generated R$561.9 million in such activity, by raising funds from the BNDES and the capital market in order to support, respectively, its investments and the above referred acquisition.

                                     OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

Quality leadership and differentiated offers.

Vivo’s customer base at the end of 2Q09 recorded 46,819 thousand customers, of which more than 36.1 million in GSM/WCDMA technology. The quality leadership, the portfolio of plans and handsets, the differentiated offers and the actions towards valuing the customer base contributed to such growth, keeping Vivo in a leadership position, with 29.3% market share at the end of the quarter.

Net additions in 2Q09 totaled 1,178 thousand new customers, with a share of net additions of 19.8%. Activations in GSM and WCDMA technology, which represent 96.3% of total activations, contributed to such growth.

 

SAC of R$83 in the quarter due to subsidy reduction.

  • SAC of R$ 83 in 2Q09 decreased by 14.4% in relation to 1Q09 and by 3.5% in relation to 2Q08. The decrease recorded in the quarter is due, mainly, to the reduction in subsidy and advertising, as a result of the increase in sales. The growth in sales of SIM CARDS with GSM technology contributed to the above referred decrease.

 

Churn of 2.7% in the quarter, stable in relation to 2Q08.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growth of the customer base diluted the ARPU.

 

 

  • Churn of 2.7% in the quarter, with an increase of 0.3 percentage points in relation to 1Q09, and an increase of 0.1 percentage point in relation to 2Q08, remains relatively stable, reflecting Vivo’s success in its efforts to retain customers. Even though with more aggressive competition, portability and acquisition actions focused on chip sets (SIM cards), Vivo has managed to keep this indicator under control thanks to segmented actions.

Vivo has strengthened its efforts for ensuring loyalty and retention of its customer base, seeking to minimize possible impacts arising out of the Numeric Portability and the highly competitive scenario. The Reward Program has continued to be strongly used in the exchange of handsets and in the shielding of the customer base, being consolidated as the main relationship tool as regards post-paid customers. Additionally, communication actions have been developed for generating identification and getting closer to the pre-paid potential customers, showing that Vivo offers plans, rates and promotions that meet their needs.

 

  • The ARPU of R$ 26.3 in the quarter recorded a reduction of 8.7% in relation to 2Q08, despite the 15.8% increase in the customer base in the last 12 months. When compared to 1Q09, the ARPU decreased by 2.6% due to the seasonality between the periods.

  • The Outgoing ARPU in 2Q09 decreased by 4.9% in relation to 2Q08, while the Incoming ARPU decreased by 13.5% in the comparison with the same period of last year due to the migration from fixed-mobile traffic to mobile-mobile traffic, as well as to the increased penetration of the mobile telephone service in Brazil. It must be pointed out that, despite the ARPU drop, the customer base has recorded a sustainable growth, resulting in a positive impact on total revenue.

  • The Outgoing ARPU has grown more than the Incoming ARPU, constantly decreasing the dependence on the interconnection traffic revenue.

 

Stimulation of on-net and mobile-fixed traffic. 

 

 

 

Growth of the outgoing traffic due to the campaigns for incentivate usage.

 

  • The Blended MOU increased by 3.9% in relation to 1Q09, with a reduction of 14.9% in relation to 2Q08. Worthy of mention is the increase of 8.2% of the outgoing MOU in the comparison between 2Q09 and 1Q09. It should be reminded that the reduction recorded in the comparison with 2Q08 is directly related to the campaign for incentivate usage conducted in 2Q08, which increased the MOU in that period.

 

  • The total traffic recorded a 5.7% growth in 2Q09 in relation to 1Q09, with emphasis to the 9.8% increase in the outgoing traffic. Worthy of mention is the outgoing on net mobile-mobile traffic, which recorded a positive variation of 10.2% in relation to 1Q09, and a slight decrease of 0.5% in relation to 2Q08.

OPERATING REVENUE

Growth of 7.1% in the net service revenue in 2Q09 in relation to 2Q08.

 

 

 

Continuous growth of data revenue and VAS.

Total net revenue grew 3.8% over 2Q08, due to the growth in the service revenue, which represents growth in all components. Such growth is a result of the natural growth in the customer base, of the actions for stimulation of the recharges and of the sale of products and VAS. In relation to 1Q09, the total net revenue decreased by 2.1%, mainly due to the reduction of 12.8% in the revenue from sales of handsets.

"Access and usage revenue" recorded an increase of 10.1% over 2Q08, mainly due to the increase in the customer base and to the incentive usage campaigns. When compared to 1Q09, it remained almost stable, with an increase of 0.7% in the access and usage revenue as a positive growth in the outgoing traffic.

Data revenue plus VAS have grown 29.9% and 3.3% over 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, representing 12.6% of the Net Service Revenue. Several factors contributed to this: 27.8% increase in the data revenue due to the SMS/MMS usage and 54.8% increase due to the Vivo Internet usage year-over-year. SMS/MMS has continued to be the largest selling service, accounting for more than 48% of the data and VAS revenue.

                                   OPERATING COSTS

Cost of services increased due to expenses with Fistel Fee.

The 7.8% increase in the cost of the services rendered in 2Q09, when compared with 2Q08, is the result of the 29.4% increase in the costs for the Fistel Fee due to the growth of the customer base, the increase in the leased lines and the increase in rent, insurance and condominium expenses. In comparison with 1Q09, it recorded a growth of 1.5% related to the increase in rent, insurance and condominium expenses as well as interconnection costs, offset by a reduction in “other” costs, mainly those referring to the provision for losses with roaming.

Commercial and operational efficiency.

The cost of goods sold recorded a reduction of 25.3% and of 26.4%, in comparison of 2Q09 over 2Q08 and over 1Q09, respectively, even considering the increase in the customer base between the periods. This is due to the increase in sales of SIM Cards and in the number of gross additions.

 

In the 2Q09, the selling expenses decreased by 1.1% in relation to 2Q08. This decrease is related to the reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts (PDD) and expenses with customer retention and donations, partially affected by an increase in expenses with third-party services, such as sales commissions and support. These, on their turn, were offset by a reduction in publicity and advertising expenses. In the comparison with 1Q09, selling expenses increased by 17.7% due to the growth in expenses with third-party services, especially publicity and advertising, and with materials for points of sale, partially offset by the reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts (PDD).

PDD under control.

The Provision for Doubtful Accounts (PDD) in 2Q09 showed a reduction of 28.2% in relation to 2Q08. The amount of R$ 65.2 million represents 1.2% of the total gross revenue, lower than it was recorded in 2Q08, of 1.7%. In relation to the 1Q09, the reduction was of 0.2 percentage points. Vivo has continued with its collection actions and strict credit granting criteria, which have maintained this item under control.

 

The general and administrative expenses decreased by 22.2% in 2Q09 in relation to 2Q08, mainly due to the decrease in expenses with third-party services, especially technical assistance. In the comparison with 1Q09, the reduction was of 15.6%, reflecting once again lower expenses with third-party services, especially auditing, legal, data processing and technical services.

 

Other Operating Revenue/Expenses recorded revenue of R$ 50.3 million. The comparison with 1Q09 presents an increase in the revenue from recovered expenses, especially taxes. It must be pointed out that the non-recurrent amount of R$47.5 million is recorded in 2Q09, which refers to ICMS tax credit. By adjusting such effect, the revenue would be R$ 2.8 million. Due to the elimination of “Non-operating revenue/expenses” provided for in Law nº 11.941/09, the amount of R$ 37.6 was reclassified to “Other operating revenue(expenses)” in the 2Q08 Consolidated Income Statement.

                                  EBITDA

EBITDA records an increase of 42.3% in 2Q09 in relation to 2Q08.

The EBITDA (earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the 2Q09 was R$ 1,197.8 million, an increase of 42.3% in relation to 2Q08, with an EBITDA Margin of 30.4%. By adjusting the EBITDA for 2Q09, which is positively impacted by the reversal of the ICMS tax in the amount of R$ 47.5 million, the EBITDA would record an increase of 36.7%. In the same manner, the EBITDA Margin would record 29.2%, an increase of 7.0 percentage points in the comparison between the quarters. The result recorded in 2Q09 reflects the continued growth in revenues due to the increase in the customer base, combined to a reduction of costs, especially the fixed costs. In addition, there was a reduction in the cost of goods sold due to sales of GSM handsets, which have lower acquisition costs.

                                  DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses recorded an increase of 11.6% in relation to 2Q08, due to the accelerated depreciation of the CDMA technology and to the investments in the period, in addition to the amortization of the restructured goodwill as a result of the acquisition of Telemig. When compared to 1Q09, it recorded an increase of 2.1%, due to higher investments made in the period and to the accelerated amortization of software because of integration with Telemig.

Drop of 26.0% in financial expenses in comparison with 1Q09.

In relation to 1Q09, Vivo’s financial expenses in 2Q09 decreased by R$ 38.7 million. This decrease is mainly explained by the drop in the financial expenses due to lower indebtedness (R$ 4,692.6 million in 2Q09 and R$5,579.5 million in 1Q09), impacted by the free cash generation in the period and by the reduction in the effective interest rate in the period (2.34% in 2Q09 and 2.85% in 1Q09). This situation was partially offset by the additional expense resulting from the assessment of R$ 9.4 million for PIS/Cofins related to the distribution of interest on own capital effected by Vivo S.A., its holding company.

When compared to 2Q08, Vivo’s net financial expenses increased by R$ 4.8 million – mainly due to the increase in the net debt resulting from the acquisition of 3G licenses and disbursements for acquisition of Telemig Celular Participações S.A. – and were partially offset by the drop in the effective interest rate in the period (2.34% in 2Q09 and 2.70% in 2Q08).

Release of more than R$ 125 million from the credit facility granted by the BNB

 

 

Improved debt profile.

The Company closed June 2009 with a debt of R$ 6,511.1 million (R$ 5,764.8 million at June 30, 2008), of which 20.4% is denominated in foreign currency, 100% of which being hedged. The debt recorded in the 2Q09 was offset by cash and financial investments (R$ 1,796.1 million) and by derivative assets and liabilities (R$ 22.4 million receivable), resulting in a net debt of R$4,692.6 million (R$ 3,574.3 million at June 30, 2008). Another portion of the credit facility granted by the BNB to the Company was released in this quarter, in the amount of R$ 124.6 million, with a remaining balance of R$ 134.8 million to be released in 4Q09, the Company having settled its 5th issue of Promissory Notes in the amount of R$ 587.4 million (R$ 550.0 million of principal and R$ 37.4 million of interest).

In the 2Q09, both the gross and the net debt recorded a drop of 16% in relation to 1Q09. The Company has continued to improve its debt profile. In 1Q09, 61.2% of the debt was at long term, while in the 2Q09 this percentage grew to 72.1%. This improvement in the debt composition is the result of structured fund raising transactions (BNDES and BNB) and the use of the credit facility for the 3G licenses made available by Anatel.

In the comparison between 2Q09 and 1Q09, the Vivo’s net debt recorded a drop of R$ 886.9 million as a result of the strong operating cash generation in the period.

 

 

The increase in the net debt in 2Q09, when compared to 2Q08 (R$ 4,692.6 million in the 2Q09 and R$ 3,574.3 million in the 2Q08) is mainly due to the acquisitions of 3G licenses and of Telemig Celular Participações S/A, offset by generation of cash in the period.


Net Profit of R$ 172.4 million.

A Net Profit of R$ 172.4 million was recorded in the quarter, reverting the result recorded in the 2Q08. In relation to 1Q09, this represents an increase of 39.6% and, in the year-to-date, 26.3% in relation to the same period of last year, recording R$295.9 million.

Corporate Reorganization.

The managements of Vivo Participações S.A. (“Vivo Part”), Telemig Celular Participações S.A. (“TCP”) and Telemig Celular S.A. (“TC”) (jointly referred to as “Companies”), in the form and for the purposes of CVM Instructions no. 319/99 and 358/02, have informed, by a Relevant Fact disclosed on 03/20/2009, that their respective Boards of Directors approved the proposal for a corporate reorganization aiming at the merger of TC’s shares into TCP and of TCP’s shares into Vivo Part, for conversion of TC into a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCP, and of TCP into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivo Part.

Since the shares of Vivo Part. and TCP are traded in the North-American market, Form F-4 was preliminarily filed with the SEC on June 5th, for analysis. On July 20, the “Effective Date” was granted, which represented the approval for the next stages to be implemented. At a Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on July 27, 2009, the transaction was approved by the shareholders of the companies.

A period of 30 days started being counted as from today, July 29th, for the withdrawal right to be exercised by dissenting shareholders. The unification of the shares will become effective on September 8th, and share fractions resulting from the transaction shall be sold at an auction to be held in BOVESPA as from September 24th.

Having in consideration that TC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCP and that TCP will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivo Part, their respective registrations with CVM and BOVESPA and the registrations of TCP with the Securities and Exchange Commission – SEC and with the New York Stock Exchange – NYSE will be cancelled, in order to eliminate the costs associated thereto.

Shareholding structure after merger of TC’s shares into TCP and of TCP’s shares into Vivo Part.:
