NOTICE TO THE MARKET
Telefônica Brasil S.A. announces that to facilitate
the understanding and monitoring of the financial
performance in the mobile and fixed businesses, the company
has decided to publish the selected consolidated financial
data corresponding to Telefónica Brasil, providing service
revenue breakdown by service instead of by company, from
the fourth quarter of 2011 on.
We would like to point out that this amendment will
not change in any way the total net revenues, EBITDA or
consolidated margins.
The Company will continue to report all the operating
metrics previously reported. The changes in reporting
result from the following events:
- Fixed and long distance license outside São Paulo
was transferred from Telefonica Brasil to the wholly-owned
subsidiary Vivo S.A. as of October 20th 2011;
- Launch of fixed services through mobile technology
(FWT) outside São Paulo since October 7th 2011;
- Incorporation of Vivo Participações S.A. into
Telefônica Brasil S.A. as of October 3rd 2011;
- Increasing volumes of intercompany transactions,
distorting the understanding of business
performance.
Consequently, as of 4Q11 the press release of
Telefonica Brazil will have the following differences from
what is currently presented:
- Allocation of long distance revenues according to
origin instead of license (e.g. long distance calls
originated by a mobile access, in any region of Brazil,
will be considered as mobile revenue. Before they were
accounted in both businesses to be then eliminated on a
consolidated level.);
- Allocation of revenues arising from the FWT
solution (Vivo Fixo and Vivo Box products) as fixed
revenues;
- Presentation of the revenue evolution in the mobile
and fixed segments after intercompany eliminations in order
to reflect the financial performance of the integrated
company. This will also reflect more precisely the
company's exposure to some factors as
interconnection.
We also emphasize that, in order to facilitate like
for like comparisons, revenues breakdown for 2010 and the
first nine months of 2011 have been restated, as per the
table below.
