Operating Highlights:

Client base reached 3,986,439 
 

The Company ended the first quarter of 2008 with the client base totaling 3,986,439, an increase of 490,499 clients when compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Net additions amounted to 85,613 in the quarter.

Net additions in the prepaid segment amounted to 85,197 in the 1Q08, bringing the total prepaid base to 3,152,609, or 79% of the total base. The postpaid base increased by 416 clients, ending the quarter with 833,830 clients, or 21% of the total base.


Churn rate 
 

In the 1Q08, annualized churn rate for the prepaid segment reached 57.6%, higher than the 48.4% and 31.6% recorded in the 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively. This increase was a result of changes in the client disconnection policy during 2007.

1



Annualized churn rate for the postpaid segment increased by 2.7 p.p. when compared to the 4Q07, totaling 19.0% . This increase is related to the seasonality of the period combined with stronger commercial actions in previous quarters. When compared to the 1Q07, postpaid churn rate declined by 3.1 p.p. due to the client retention initiatives in 2007.

As a result, blended annualized churn rate reached 49.4%, representing an increase of 7.9 p.p. and 20.0 p.p. over 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively.


Operating revenues 
 

Net service revenues totaled R$328.9 million in the quarter, which is R$6.1 million, or 1.8%, lower than in the previous quarter, due to the seasonal factors and lower number of business days. When compared to the 1Q07, net service revenues increased R$29.1 million, or 9.7%, as a result of higher revenues associated to monthly subscription, outgoing traffic and interconnection, related to larger and better quality client base.

Data revenues totaled R$24.8 million in the 1Q08, more than the R$24.3 million recorded in the 4Q07 and the R$19.8 million recorded in the 1Q07. This is a result of higher postpaid client base and revaluation of packages and promotions offered.

Net equipment revenues totaled R$24.7 million, a decrease of R$16.8 million when compared to the R$41.5 million recorded in the 4Q07. This reduction had been expected due to weaker sales resulting from fewer promotional campaigns on those commemorative dates that have more impact on the industry performance. When compared to the 1Q07, net equipment revenues increased R$7.7 million, as a result of higher handset sales.

Handset subsidies for client acquisitions totaled R$9.5 million, or R$16.5 per gross addition in the first quarter, against the R$11.3 million, or R$16.9 per gross addition recorded in the 4Q07. This reduction is a consequence of seasonal factors in the period, as already mentioned. When compared to the 1Q07, handset subsidies for client acquisitions decreased by R$2.5 million, mainly due to better handset prices negotiated with suppliers.

As a result, total net revenues reached R$353.6 million in the 1Q08, 6.1% lower than in the 4Q07. When compared to the 1Q07, total net revenues increased by R$36.9 million.

Operating costs and expenses 
 

Cost of services totaled R$118.7 million in the 1Q08, an increase of 1.7% when compared to the R$116.8 million registered in the previous quarter. This increase is a result of higher expenses with interconnection and connection networks, associated to seasonal factors in the quarter. When compared to the 1Q07, cost of services increased by R$19.5 million, or 19.6% in the period, reflecting mainly the growth in interconnection costs and higher expenses with Fistel as a result of the client base growth.

Selling and marketing expenses totaled R$57.0 million in the 1Q08, 35.8% lower than the R$88.8 million recorded in the previous quarter, due to reduced promotional and advertisement expenses, as well as lesser dealers’ commissions associated to lower number of client additions in the period. When compared to the 1Q07, selling and marketing expenses increased by R$11.9 million as a consequence of higher expenses with commissions and negative impact of inventory adjustment to its market value.

Client acquisition cost in the 1Q08 decreased to R$88, from R$106 in the 4Q07, the lowest amount recorded by the Company. This reduction is a consequence of lower expenses with subsidies, advertisements and commissions. When compared to the 1Q07, client acquisition cost decreased by R$35, due to the higher volume of gross additions without any increase in expenses.

3



Retention costs reached R$57.4 million in the quarter, lower than the R$71.0 million recorded in the 4Q07, due to reduced expenses with discounts and retention subsidies. When compared to the 1Q07, retention costs increased 25.8%, due to greater efforts to retain the best and most profitable clients in the base.

General and administrative expenses totaled R$23.8 million in the 1Q08, representing a decrease of 2.5% when compared to the R$24.5 million recorded in the previous quarter. When compared to the 1Q07, general and administrative expenses increased R$3.6 million, mainly due to higher expenses with personnel and administrative consulting services.

Bad debt provisions totaled R$10.4 million in the 1Q08, an increase of R$3.8 million over the R$6.6 million recorded in the last quarter. This is a result of the seasonal factors in the 1Q08. When compared to the 1Q07, bad debt provisions remained practically stable.


Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)
 

Postpaid MOU (minutes of use) totaled 187 in the 1Q08, 9.5% lower than the 207 minutes recorded in the previous quarter. This reduction is due to seasonal factors in the period. When compared to the 1Q07, postpaid MOU remained stable.

Postpaid ARPU reached R$72.8 in the quarter, a reduction of R$5.9 when compared to the R$78.7 recorded in the 4Q07, as a result of the lower traffic per user and higher number of promotional minutes offered to clients. When compared to the R$76.8 registered in the 1Q07, postpaid ARPU declined 5.3%, as a result of new clients with lower potential of revenues generation.

In the first quarter of 2008, prepaid MOU reached 71, representing an increase of 58.4% over the 45 minutes recorded in the previous quarter. This increase is a result of higher volume of promotional minutes offered to clients. When compared to the 1Q07, prepaid MOU increased 107.1%, due to campaigns to stimulate the use of cellular phones.

Prepaid ARPU reached R$14.6 in the 1Q08, a reduction of 4.4% from the R$15.3 recorded in the previous quarter, caused by seasonal factors. When compared to the 1Q07, prepaid ARPU increased 10.9% . This increase is due to successful campaigns to stimulate the use of cellular phones, thus generating higher outgoing traffic.

As a result, total blended MOU reached 96 in the 1Q08, an increase of 20.0% and 39.3% over the 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively. Blended ARPU stood at R$26.9 in the quarter, representing a decrease of 6.9% and 7.7% registered in the 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively.
