Financial review

 

On 28 March 2011, Portugal Telecom concluded the acquisition process of its investments in Oi, including Telemar Participações, TNL, Telemar and indirectly in Brasil Telecom, and in Contax, including CTX, and the agreements entered into with the controlling shareholders of these companies for a total consideration of R$ 8,437 million. Under the terms of these agreements PT shares the power to govern the financial and operational policies of Oi and Contax Group, resulting in the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax Group, based on PT’s interest in their controlling shareholders Telemar Participações (25.6%) and CTX (42.0%), respectively. Consequently, PT’s results in 1H11, include the impact of the proportional consolidation of the earnings of Oi and Contax Group, as from 1 April 2011.

 

Following the disposal of the investment in Brasilcel in September 2010 and in accordance with IFRS 5, VIVO business line was presented as a discontinued operation in 2010 income and cash flows statements.

(1)2010 figures were adjusted in order to recognise Vivo business line as a discontinued operation. Following PT’s strategic investment in Oi and Contax on 28 March 2011, PT proportionally consolidated the assets and liabilities of these investments in its statement of financial position and net income as from 1 April 2011. (2) Wireline and TMN operating revenues include the impact of the decline in regulated mobile termination rates (MTRs). At TMN, this impact amounted to Euro 8 million in 2Q11. (3) Operating costs = wages and salaries + direct costs + commercial costs + other operating costs. (4) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation. (5) Income from operations = income before financials and income taxes + curtailment costs + losses (gains) on disposal of fixed assets + other costs (gains).

 

Consolidated operating revenues

 

In 1H11, consolidated operating revenues increased by 45.0% y.o.y to Euro 2,669 million, as compared to Euro 1,840 million in 1H10, reflecting the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 925 million). Excluding this effect, consolidated operating revenues would have decreased by 5.3% y.o.y to Euro 1,744 million in 1H11, as a result of revenue decline in Portuguese operations, partially offset by revenue growth in international operations, namely MTC in Namibia and Timor Telecom and by the consolidation of GPTI as from 1 March 2010.

 

In 1H11, revenues from Portuguese operations decreased by 7.6% y.o.y (Euro 122 million), negatively impacted by: (1) lower equipment sales (Euro 19 million); (2) lower MTRs (Euro 18 million); (3) lower revenues from the directories

business (Euro 11 million); (4) lower wholesale and data and corporate revenues (Euro 33 million), and (5) lower customer revenues at TMN (Euro 50 million). The performance of customer revenues at TMN reflected challenging economic conditions, including a VAT increase (+3pp y.o.y), coupled with increasing popularity of tribal plans.

 

Wireline operating revenues decreased by 5.5% y.o.y in 1H11, from Euro 971 million to Euro 917 million, while adjusting for a contract with public administration related to the provision of broadband in schools (Euro 15 million) and for the decline in the directories business (Euro 11 million), wireline revenues declined by 2.8% y.o.y in the half impacted primarily by lower wholesale revenues (Euro 17 million), affected by a reduction in ULL and DSL wholesale revenues. In 1H11, retail revenues grew by 0.9% y.o.y, from Euro 484 million to Euro 488 million, on the back of the continued strong performance of the Meo triple-play offer (voice, data and pay-TV), which is underpinning solid trends in fixed telephone lines and in pay-TV and retail broadband revenues. In 1H11, non-voice revenues in Portugal represented 46.0% of service revenues, having grown 4.0pp y.o.y. This positive evolution of PT’s revenue mix is making performance more resilient and predictable and was achieved on the back of increased penetration of data and video services accross all segments, following the significant investments in the fibre rollout and leading-edge technology.

 

In 1H11, the wireline business continued to benefit from a relentless effort to transform PT’s residential service offering from a legacy fixed telephone to a triple play offering, which is more competitive and more resilient to adverse economic conditions. Total wireline retail accesses or retail revenue generating units (RGUs) increased by 6.6% y.o.y reaching 4,632 thousand, with pay-TV and broadband accesses already accounting for 42% of total retail accesses. Retail net additions reached 105 thousand in 1H11, driven by the success of PT’s pay-TV and triple-play offers, which are contributing to a solid performance of broadband (1,040 customers in 1H11, up by 11.5% y.o.y) and record reduction in fixed telephone line net disconnections (23 thousand, down by 36.7% y.o.y). This solid performance was also underpinned by the investment in the coverage of one million households with FTTH, carried throughout 2009 and 2010, which continues to show steady commercial traction as more households become available for commercial sales. As a result, fibre customers reached 173 thousand as at the end of 1H11, representing a 22.3% penetration over the average number of households available for commercial sales. In February 2011, PT received an Innovation Award by the FTTH Council for the planning and deployment of its fibre network, which recognises PT’s execution and engineering excellence and the company’s ability to work successfully with its technological partners. In 2011, PT plans to extend the FTTH coverage to an additional up to 600 thousand households, thus enhancing its coverage and value proposition further to residential and also corporate and SME customers.

 

In 1H11, PT had 23 thousand net disconnections of fixed telephone lines, including 16 thousand net disconnections of carrier pre-selection lines (-31.5% y.oy). Traffic generating lines therefore only declined by 7  thousand (+45.6% y.o.y). Fixed broadband retail customers increased by 11.5% y.o.y in 1H11, with 39 thousand net additions in the half. The solid performance of Meo double-play and triple-play offers contributed decisively to mitigate fixed telephone line net disconnections to 23 thousand in 1H11, thus comparing favourably to 36 thousand in 1H10 and 65 thousand in 1H09. As in previous quarters, this strong operational performance was particularly noteworthy in the residential segment, which saw positive fixed telephone line net additions and 40 thousand and 80 thousand broadband and pay-TV net additions in 1H11, respectively. Notwithstanding significant scale back in promotions, total pay-TV net additions reached 89 thousand in 1H11 and pay-TV customers reached 919 thousand, equivalent to 88.4% penetration of the fixed broadband retail customer base, up by 13.1pp y.o.y. As such, PT’s Meo offer continues to benefit from strong demand having reached an estimated pay-TV market share of 32%. Retail RGU per access increased by 8.1% y.o.y in 1H11 to 1.73.

Table of Contents

 

In 1H11, TMN’s operating revenues decreased by Euro 80 million (-11.6% y.o.y) to Euro 610 million, mainly due to: (1) lower customer revenues (Euro 50 million), as a result of the economic conditions, including the 3pp y.o.y increase in VAT and increased popularity of tribal plans, namely those without a monthly fee and only with mandatory top-up obligations; (2) lower interconnection revenues (Euro 22 million), mostly as a result of the negative impact of lower MTRs (Euro 15 million), and (3) lower equipment sales (Euro 8 million). It is worth highlighting that 2Q11 registered a marked improvement: -10.7% y.o.y in 2Q11, which compares to -12.4% in 1Q11. Notwithstanding the significant growth in fixed broadband, in 1H11 data revenues at TMN increased by 4.6% y.o.y and accounted for 27.3% of service revenues (+3.2pp y.o.y), as a result of the solid performance of data packages “internotelemovel”, which continued to show strong growth, explained by the commercial success of “e nunca mais acaba” and increased penetration of smartphones.

 

In 1H11 and 2Q11, Oi’s revenues stood at Euro 832 million, equivalent to R$ 1,904 million. Oi’s results are proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, reflecting the 25.6% direct and indirect stake that PT owns in Tmar Part, the controlling shareholder of Oi, which fully consolidates Oi companies, including Tele Norte Leste, Telemar Norte Leste and Brasil Telecom.

 

Other revenues, including intra-group eliminations, increased by 72.0% y.o.y in 1H11 to Euro 309 million. This performance was mainly due to: (1) the impact of the consolidation of Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 94 million) and the consolidation of GPTI as from 1 March 2010 (Euro 13 million), and (2) an increase of 13.0% and 7.7% y.o.y at Timor Telecom and MTC, respectively.

 

The contribution from fully and proportionally consolidated international assets to operating revenues, including the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011, stood at 59.2% in 2Q11, while Brazil accounted for 55.0% of operating revenues.

 

In 1H11, total PT customers stood at 88,251 thousand, up by 5.6% from 83,545 thousand. Customers in international operations, including Brazil and Africa, represented 86% of total PT customers.

 

Consolidated operating costs (excluding PRBs and depreciation and amortisation)

 

Consolidated operating costs excluding depreciation and amortization costs and post retirement benefits amounted to Euro 1,669 million in 1H11 and Euro 1,093 million in 1H10, an increase of Euro 576 million primarily explained by the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 633 million). Adjusting for this effect, consolidated operating costs would have decreased by 5.3% y.o.y (Euro 57 million) in 1H11 to Euro 1,036 million, reflecting basically a reduction in Portuguese operations (Euro 86 million), primarily as a result of strict cost control, strong focus on the profitability of operations and lower direct costs resulting from the decrease in revenues. The reduction in Portuguese operations was partially offset by increases at Dedic, Portugal Telecom’s call centre operation in Brazil, and GPTI, which was consolidated as from 1 March 2010.

 

Wages and salaries increased by 49.7% y.o.y (Euro 153 million) in 1H11 to Euro 459 million, as compared to Euro 307 million in the same period last year, mainly due to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 150 million). Adjusting for this effect, wages and salaries would have increased by 0.7% y.o.y (Euro 2 million) in 1H11 to Euro 309 million, reflecting higher contributions from: (1) Dedic, mainly due to the impact of the appreciation of the Real against the Euro, and (2) GPTI, which was consolidated as from 1 March 2010. These effects more than offset the reduction in wages and salaries from Portuguese operations, reflecting primarily

 

7



Table of Contents

 

a 9.3% y.o.y decrease at the wireline business as a result of strong focus on cost reduction and also benefiting from curtailment in 4Q10. Wages and salaries accounted for 17.2% of consolidated operating revenues in 1H11.

 

Direct costs increased by 51.4% y.o.y (Euro 141 million) in 1H11 to Euro 417 million and accounted for 15.6% of consolidated operating revenues. This increase reflected primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 173 million). Adjusting for this effect, direct costs would have decreased by 11.4% y.o.y (Euro 31 million) in 1H11 to Euro 244 million, primarily due to lower contributions from: (1) the wireline business (Euro 22 million), as a result of decreases in interconnection, mainly related to lower MTRs, and directories, following the decline in this business line, which more than offset an increase in programming costs due to the continued growth in pay-TV customers, notwithstanding a decline in programming costs per customer as pay-TV is reaching critical mass; and (2) TMN (Euro 19 million), reflecting lower MTRs and a higher proportion of on-net traffic.

 

Commercial costs, which include costs of products sold, commissions and marketing and publicity, increased by 21.0% y.o.y (Euro 37 million) in 1H11 to Euro 211 million and accounted for 7.9% of consolidated operating revenues. This increase reflected primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 52 million). Excluding this effect, commercial costs would have decreased by 8.6% y.o.y (Euro 15 million) in 1H11 to Euro 159 million, mainly due to a reduction at Portuguese operations (Euro 16 million), reflecting the impact of the decrease in operating revenues and also strict cost discipline in commissions and lower marketing expenses at the wireline business, which more than offset an increase in marketing expenses at TMN primarily related to the investment in marketing the new tariff plans.

 

Other operating costs, which mainly include support services, supplies and external services, indirect taxes and provisions, increased by 72.9% y.o.y in 1H11 (Euro 245 million) to Euro 582 million, as compared to Euro 337 million in 1H10. This increase reflected primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 amounting to Euro 259 million. Adjusting for this effect, other operating costs would have decreased by 3.9% y.o.y (Euro 13 million) in 1H11 to Euro 323 million, basically due to a lower contribution from Portuguese operations (Euro 17 million) related mainly to a reduction in external supplies, reflecting the strict operational and cost discipline. This effect more than offset the higher contribution from GPTI, which was consolidated as from 1 March 1H10.

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA increased by 33.8% y.o.y to Euro 1,000 million in 1H11, as compared to Euro 747 million in the same period last year, due to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 292 million). Excluding this effect, EBITDA would have decreased by 5.3% y.o.y in 1H11 to Euro 708 million, equivalent to a margin of 40.6%. EBITDA performance in the period was impacted by TMN, as a result of the revenue decline and notwithstanding a 11.7% y.o.y reduction in operating costs excluding D&A and PRBs. In 1H11, wireline EBITDA increased by 0.4% y.o.y to Euro 378 million, as a result of achieving scale in the pay-TV business, higher penetration of fibre customers and a relentless and renewed focus on cost cutting.

(1) 2010 figures were adjusted in order to recognise Vivo business line as a discontinued operation. (2) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation.

 

Wireline EBITDA amounted to Euro 378 million in 1H11 (+0.4% y.o.y), equivalent to a 41.2% margin, a 2.4pp y.o.y improvement. This performance marked a robust and steady improvement (+1.1% in 2Q11, -0.2% in 1Q11, -5.3% in 4Q10, -5.9% y.o.y in 3Q10, -6.4% y.o.y in 2Q10 and -9.4% in 1Q10) and represents the best performance in the last nineteen quarters, notwithstanding the continued commercial investment in the roll-out of triple-play offers. The improvement in EBITDA trend was achieved on the back of: (1) pay-TV reaching critical mass, which leads to lower programming costs per customer; (2) fibre rollout, which has a superior quality of service leading to lower customer support and network maintenance costs; (3) the implementation of transformation initiatives, namely in customer care and field force, benefiting from fixed-mobile integration, and (4) additional measures undertaken in anticipation of weaker macro fundamentals, reflecting PT’s strong cost focus. This solid EBITDA performance in the wireline segment was achieved against a backdrop of lower contribution to revenues and EBITDA derived from the directories business, which contracted Euro 11 million and Euro 3 million, respectively. PT has a financial investment of 25% in the yellow pages company, which is managed by Truvo.

 

TMN’s EBITDA decreased by 11.5% y.o.y to Euro 288 million in 1H11, as a result of the decline in service revenues (Euro 73 million), which have a high operating leverage. Indeed, service revenues less direct costs declined Euro 54 million, while EBITDA only declined by Euro 37 million as a result of lower support costs (Euro 11 million), which is benefiting from initiatives promoting the usage of self-care, increased simplicity of commercial offers and processes and lower maintenance and repairs. As a result of the cost cutting efforts, EBITDA margin stood at 47.2%, remaining flat y.o.y (+0.1pp).

 

In 1H11 and 2Q11, Oi’s EBITDA reached Euro 285 million, equivalent to R$ 651 million. EBITDA margin in the period stood at 34.2%.

 

Other EBITDA increased by 7.7% y.o.y to Euro 49 million in 1H11 mainly due to: (1) the impact of the consolidation of Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 9 million), and (2) the 10.3% and 6.6% y.o.y growth in Timor Telecom and MTC, respectively. After several quarters of EBITDA contraction at CVT in Cape Verde, primarily due to weaker economic conditions and adverse regulation, in 1H11 CVT’s EBITDA increased by 5.2% y.o.y (+8.0% in 2Q11 and +2.7% in 1Q11). These effects were partially offset by a decrease in Dedic of Euro 5 million mainly due to a non recurrent adjustment.

 

Fully and proportionally consolidated international assets, including the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011, represented 51.2% of PT’s EBITDA in 2Q11. Brazilian businesses accounted for 45.0% of EBITDA in the period and fully consolidated African businesses accounted for 6.5% of EBITDA.

Net income

 

Post retirement benefits costs decreased to Euro 26 million in 1H11 from Euro 36 million in the 1H10, reflecting primarily the impact of the transfer of regulatory unfunded pension obligations to the Portuguese State, which was completed in December 2010. This effect was partially offset by the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 2 million).

 

Depreciation and amortisation costs increased by 61.4% y.o.y to Euro 564 million in 1H11, reflecting primarily the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax (Euro 171 million), including the holding companies, and a higher contribution from the wireline business (Euro 34 million), as a result of the FTTH rollout and pay-TV growth.

 

Net interest expenses decreased to Euro 81 million in 1H11 as compared to Euro 119 million in 1H10, mainly as a result of: (1) an Euro 51 million interest gain in 1Q11 on cash deposits in Brazilian Reais which were used to pay the strategic investment in Oi on 31 March 2011; (2) the decrease in the average net debt from Portuguese operations, following the first and second instalments received from Telefónica in 2010 (Euro 5,500 million), related to the Vivo transaction, which more than offset dividends paid in December 2010 (Euro 876 million related to the first instalment of the special dividend amounting to Euro 1.00 per share) and June 2011 (Euro 1,118 million related to the second instalment of the special dividend amounting to Euro 0.65 per share and the ordinary dividend amounting to Euro 0.65 per share) and the debt related to the transfer of unfunded pension obligations completed in December 2010 (Euro 1,022 million), and (3) the reduction in the average cost of debt from Portuguese operations, excluding the impact of the interest income on cash deposits in Brazilian Reais as referred to above, which stood at 3.5% in 1H11 compared to 4.7% in 1H10. These effects more than offset the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax, including the holding companies, as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 49 million).

 

Equity in earnings of affiliates in 1H11 amounted to Euro 122 million, as compared to Euro 84 million in 1H10. In 1H11, this caption includes a gain of Euro 38 million related to the completion of the disposal of the investment in UOL for a total amount of Euro 156 million. Adjusting for this effect and PT’s share in UOL’s earnings in 1H10 (Euro 10 million), equity accounting in earnings of affiliated companies would have amounted to Euro 85 million in 1H11 and Euro 74 million in 1H10, reflecting primarily the improvement in earnings of Unitel notwithstanding the devaluation of local currency, and CTM.

 

Net other financial losses, which include net foreign currency losses, net losses on financial assets and net other financial expenses, increased from Euro 12 million in 1H10 to Euro 69 million in 1H11, reflecting primarily: (1) the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 17 million); (2) certain financial taxes incurred in Brazil in connection with the transfer of funds for the investment in Oi (Euro 14 million), and (3) higher net foreign currency losses (Euro 28 million), that were primarily related to the impact on US denominated assets of the depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro during 1H11.

 

Income taxes increased to Euro 102 million in 1H11, from Euro 27 million in 1H10, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 27.6% and 9.0%, respectively. The increase in income taxes is primarily explained by: (1) the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 28 million); (2) a tax gain, amounting to Euro 48 million, recorded in 2Q10 related to a corporate restructuring of Africatel businesses that resulted in lower taxable profits, and (3) a gain of Euro 4 million corresponding to the impact on deferred taxes, as at 1 January 2010, of the change in the statutory tax rate applicable in Portugal from 26.5% to 29.0% for companies with taxable profits higher than Euro 2 million.

Table of Contents

 

Income from discontinued operations amounted Euro 77 million in 1H10 and included: (1) Vivo’s earnings before minority interests (Euro 45 million), and (2) a gain of Euro 32 million resulting from the transfer of part of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to the former investment in Brasilcel, following a repayment of part of this investment through share capital reductions occurred at this company.

 

Income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Euro 42 million to Euro 39 million in 1H11, reflecting the reductions in non-controlling interests in Vivo (Euro 29 million), following the disposal of this investment in September 2010, and from the African businesses (Euro 11 million). The decrease in non-controlling interests from African businesses is primarily explained by the share of non-controlling interests in the tax gain recognised in 2Q10 as a result of a corporate restructuring of these businesses.

 

Net income decreased to Euro 228 million in 1H11 from Euro 264 million in 1H10, primarily as a result of: (1) the tax gain, amounting to Euro 48 million, recorded in 2Q10 related to a corporate restructuring of the African businesses; (2) higher depreciation and amortisation costs at the wireline business; (3) certain financial taxes recorded in 1Q11 in connection with the investment in Oi, and (4) foreign exchange losses resulting from the impact of the depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro. These effects were partially offset by the decrease in net interest expenses, as a result of Vivo transaction, and higher gains related to affiliated companies, mainly due to the disposal of UOL.

 

Capex

 

Capex increased by 33.9% y.o.y to Euro 418 million in 1H11, as compared to Euro 312 million in the same period last year, mainly due to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 124 million). Excluding this effect, capex would have decreased by 5.8% y.o.y in 1H11 to Euro 294 million, equivalent to 16.9% of revenues, and was directed towards investments in future proof technologies, namely FTTH, and also 3G and 3.5G.

(1) 2010 figures were adjusted in order to recognise Vivo business line as a discontinued operation.

 

Wireline capex decreased by 8.5% y.o.y, from Euro 212 million in 1H10 to Euro 194 million in 1H11, reflecting a decline in customer-related capex as a result of: (1) a lower number of set-top boxes per fibre TV customer as compared to ADSL; (2) lower unitary cost of set-top boxes, optical network terminators and home gateways, and (3) improved refurbishment rates of set-top boxes. Wireline capex continued to be explained by efforts in the rollout of future proof technologies, namely FTTH and also by the continued investments in the modernisation of IT platforms and servers and in storage capacity and backup. The higher efficiency of wireline capex also reflected synergies from fixed-mobile integration. Capex to sales ratio in wireline stood at 21.2% of revenues, down by 0.7pp when compared to 1H10. PT aims at strengthening further the value proposition to its corporate, SME/SOHO and

residential customers by extending FTTH coverage to an additional up to 600 thousand households and investing in the construction of a state of the art 45 thousand sqm data centre.

 

TMN’s capex increased by 8.1% y.o.y to Euro 57 million in 1H11, equivalent to 9.3% of revenues. The increase in TMN’s capex is primarily explained by investments in the swap of TMN’s 2G equipments to LTE (4G) enabled equipment and investments in capacity of existing 3G and 3.5G networks, namely in urban areas. Additionally, TMN has been strengthening its mobile data capabilities and its network quality by leveraging the existing FTTH deployment to boost its mobile network quality and lead the 4G roll-out in the Portuguese market. As a result, the most recent study issued by Anacom, the Portuguese telecom regulator, recognised TMN as the Portuguese mobile operator with the best 2G and 3G coverage, both in the urban areas and in the main motorways and roads, for mobile broadband services.

 

In 1H11, other capex increased to Euro 50 million, compared to Euro 48 million in 1H10, primarily as a result of the proportional consolidation of Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 7 million) and higher capex from Timor Telecom, MTC, in Namibia, and CST, in São Tomé e Principe. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in Dedic’s capex due to investments undertaken in 1Q10 related to the the expansion of Dedic, namely the construction of new sites.

 

Cash Flow

 

Operating cash flow increased to Euro 525 million in 1H11, compared to Euro 183 million in 1H10, including the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 74 million). Adjusting for this effect, operating cash flow would have increased by Euro 268 million to Euro 451 million in 1H11, mainly due to lower capex and an improvement in working capital management (Euro 300 million), primarily explained by: (1) the one-off reduction in the payment cycle to certain suppliers undertaken in 4Q10, following the cash inflow from the Vivo transaction, leading to lower payments to suppliers in 1H11, and (2) a lower investment related to trade receivables in the Portuguese businesses.

(1) 2010 figures were adjusted in order to recognise Vivo business line as a discontinued operation and excludes the cash out-flow related to the acquisition of PT’s strategic investment in Oi and Contax. (2) In 1H11, this caption included payments of expenses incurred with the strategic investment in Oi, bank commissions and certain payments of contractual penalties and legal actions, mainly at Oi and Contax.

 

Excluding the cash out-flow related to the acquisition of PT’s investment in Oi and Contax, in 1H11 free cash flow amounted to Euro 317 million, compared to Euro 22 million in 1H10. This performance is primarily explained by: (1)

Table of Contents

 

a higher operating cash flow (Euro 342 million) as referred to above; (2) proceeds received from the disposal of the investment in UOL amounting to Euro 156 million; (3) dividends received from Unitel (Euro 126 million) in 1H11 relating to 2009 earnings, while the 2008 dividends had been fully received in 4Q09, and (4) a reduction in interest paid amounting to Euro 14 million, due to the decrease in the average net debt from Portuguese operations and the interest on cash deposits in Brazilian Reais used to pay the strategic investment in Oi and Contax, which more than offset the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax, including the holding companies, as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 99 million). These effects were partially offset by: (1) an amount of Euro 90 million received from Brasilcel related to share capital reductions in 1H10; (2) an increase in payments regarding legal actions (Euro 73 million), primarily related to the proportional consolidation of Oi (Euro 80 million); (3) an increase in net payments related to post retirement benefits (Euro 57 million), due to the Euro 75 million reimbursement in 1Q10 related to the excessive funding of the healthcare plan; (4) an amount paid by Contax in April 2011 for the acquisition of the investment in Allus (Euro 44 million), and (5) higher payments of income taxes (Euro 38 million) mainly related to withholding taxes on bank deposits.

 

Consolidated Net Debt

 

Consolidated net debt, adjusted for the receivable from Telefónica, excluding the proportional consolidation of the net debt from Oi and Contax, including the holding companies, and the tax effect on the debt due to the Portuguese State in connection with the pensions transaction, amounted to Euro 4,269 million as at 30 June 2011. Consolidated net debt increased from Euro 2,100 million at the end of December 2010 to Euro 8,875 million as at 30 June 2011, an increase of Euro 6,775 million reflecting: (1) the acquisition of the strategic investments in Oi and Contax for a total consideration of Euro 3,728 million and the proportional consolidation of its net debt position amounting to Euro 2,053 million as at 31 March 2011; (2) dividends paid by PT to its shareholders (Euro 1,118 million) and by its subsidiaries to non-controlling interests (Euro 53 million); (3) the acquisition by Oi of PT’s own shares in 2Q11 (Euro 87 million), and (4) the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, leading to an increase in net debt of Euro 58 million. These effects were partially offset by the free cash flow generated in the period, amounting to Euro 317 million.

 

The amount of cash available plus the undrawn amount of PT’s committed commercial paper lines and standby facilities totalled Euro 5,372 million at the end of June 2011, of which Euro 940 million was undrawn committed commercial paper and standby facilities. In January 2011, PT issued a 5-year Eurobond amounting to Euro 600 million, with a spread of 295bp over the mid swaps of similar maturity, equivalent to an annual coupon of 5.625%, thus increasing its liquidity position and the average maturity of its debt. In March and April 2011, PT signed a credit facility amounting to Euro 1,200 million, which will mature in March 2014, with eight leading international banks. These transactions are part of PT’s financing strategy, which aims at having diversified maturities and sources of financing. Therefore, PT now has its debt maturities fully financed until the end of 2013 and financial flexibility to continue to invest in its businesses whilst honouring its commitments to its shareholders.

(1) In 1H11 and 1H10, this caption included mainly Euro 53 million and Euro 32 million, respectively, related to dividends paid by PT’s fully consolidated subsidiaries to non-controlling interests.

 

In 1H11, excluding the Euro 51 million interest gain on cash deposits related to the strategic investment in Oi, PT’s average cost of debt stood at 3.5%, down from 4.7% in 1H10. As at 30 June 2011, PT’s consolidated net debt had a maturity of 5.8 years. Excluding the consolidation of Oi and Contax, the maturity of PT’s net debt was 6.0 years. As at the end of June 2011, the net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.9x compared to 3.6x in 1H10.

 

Post Retirement Benefits Obligations

 

As at 30 June 2011, the projected post retirement benefits obligations (PBO) from Portuguese operations related to pensions supplements and healthcare amounted to Euro 436 million and market value of assets under management amounted to Euro 409 million, compared to Euro 472 million and Euro 448 million as at 31 December 2010, respectively. In addition, PT had liabilities in the form of salaries due to suspended and pre-retired employees amounting to Euro 863 million as at 30 June 2011, which are not subject to any legal funding requirement. These monthly salaries are paid directly by PT to the beneficiaries until retirement age. As a result, total gross unfunded obligations from Portuguese businesses amounted to Euro 889 million and after-tax unfunded obligations amounted to Euro 667 million. PT’s post retirement benefits plans for pensions supplements and healthcare in Portugal are closed to new participants.

 

In addition, following the strategic investment in Oi, PT proportionally consolidated its net post retirement benefit obligations, amounting to Euro 52 million as at 31 March 2011 and Euro 55 million as at 30 June 2011, which relate to several plans with different characteristics, including defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Most of these plans are already closed to new participants. Oi has several plans that present a surplus position and the surplus position is not recorded as an asset as it is not possible to obtain reimbursements.

(1) The reduction in the market value of funds resulted mainly from: (i) payments of pensions and supplements of Euro 4.2 million; (ii)  the negative performance of assets under management amounting to Euro 24.0 million (equivalent to negative 5.5% in 1H11), and (iii) the refund of healthcare expenses paid previously by PT amounting to Euro 10.9 million.

 

Total gross unfunded obligations from Portuguese businesses decreased by Euro 59 million to Euro 889 million as at 30 June 2011, primarily as a result of salary payments to suspended and pre-retired employees made during the period amounting to Euro 81 million, which were partially offset by total post retirement benefits and curtailment costs recognised in the period (Euro 20 million). Unfunded obligations from Oi increased from Euro 52 million as at 31 March 2011 to Euro 55 million as at 30 June 2011, reflecting primarily post retirement benefits recorded in 2Q11 (Euro 2 million) and the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 1 million).

(1) In 1H11, this caption includes reimbursements net of healthcare expenses amounting to Euro 2.5 million, partially offset by termination payments amounting to Euro 1.8 million. Additionally, contributions amounting to Euro 9.7 million related to the service cost of the employees transferred to the Portuguese state were paid. (2) In 1H11, net actuarial losses includes: (i) a gain of Euro 36 million related to changes in discount rates from 4.75% to 5% in pension supplements and from 4.75% to 5.5% in healthcare liabilities, and (ii) a loss of Euro 37 million related to the difference between actual return on assets in the period (-5.5%) and expected return of assets (6% annualised).

 

Post retirement benefit costs decreased to Euro 26 million in 1H11 from Euro 36 million in 1H10, reflecting primarily the impact of the transfer of regulatory unfunded pension obligations to the Portuguese State completed in December 2010. This effect was partially offset by the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 2 million).

As at 30 June 2011, shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 3,281 million, which represents a decrease of Euro 1,112 million in 1H11. This decrease is primarily explained by: (1) the dividends paid by PT to its shareholders amounting to Euro 1,118 million; (2) the acquisition by Oi of PT’s own shares (Euro 148 million), which for accounting purposes are classified as threasury shares, and (3) negative currency translation adjustments amounting to Euro 66 million. These effects more than offset the net income generated in the period of Euro 228 million.

 

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

 

The main changes in the statement of financial position are basically explained by the aquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax. This operation was completed as at 31 March 2011, and therefore PT proportionally consolidated the assets and liabilities of these companies in its statement of financial position as of 31 March 2011.

 

Total assets and liabilities increased from Euro 15.2 billion and Euro 10.6 billion as at 31 December 2010 to Euro 22.7 billion and Euro 18.6 billion as at 30 June 2011, respectively, reflecting primarily the impacts resulting from the acquisition and proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax (total assets and liabilities of Euro 7.4 billion and Euro 6.8 billion, respectively). Additionaly, total liabilities increased by Euro 1.2 billion, primarily due to the Euro 0.6 billion Eurobond issued in January 2011 and the increase in the usage of certain credit facilities and short-term commercial paper programmes, while total assets increased by Euro 0.1 billion, impacted by the Euro 1.1 billion shareholder remuneration paid.

 

The main effects following the strategic investment in Oi and Contax and its proportional consolidation on PT’s statement of financial position as at 31 March 2011 are: (1) total assets and liabilities related to those businesses amounting to Euro 9.3 billion and Euro 6.8 billion, respectively, and non-controlling interests of Euro 0.7 billion; (2) a reduction in cash and cash equivalentes of Euro 3.7 billion corresponding the the amount paid for the acquisition of these investements, and (3) the recognition of a preliminary goodwill amounting to Euro 1.8 billion as a result of this transaction.

 

Total assets and liabilities that were proportionally consolidated for the first time as at 31 March 2011, considering the goodwill recorded as a result of this transaction, include primarily tangible and intangible assets (Euro 6,445 million), cash and cash equivalents (Euro 1,696 million), current accounts receivable (Euro 778 million), deferred tax assets (Euro 654 million), gross debt (Euro 3,749 million), provisions (Euro 830 million) and related judicial deposits

Business performance

 

Portuguese Businesses

 

Revenues from Portuguese businesses, which include wireline and TMN, decreased by 7.6% y.o.y in 1H11. In the wireline segment, retail revenues increased by 0.9% y.o.y in 1H11 underpinned by the performance of the residential segment (+7.0% y.o.y in 1H11), which benefited from the solid and steady growth of Meo’s double-play and triple-play offers. Wireline revenues, adjusting for a contract with public administration related to the provision of broadband in schools (Euro 15 million) and for the decline in the directories business (Euro 11 million), declined by 2.8% y.o.y in the 1H11 (-1.1% y.o.y in 2Q11) impacted primarily by lower wholesale revenues (Euro 17 million). Revenue performance at TMN was impacted by: (1) lower customer revenues (Euro 50 million), as a result of the economic conditions, including the 3pp y.o.y increase in VAT and increased popularity of tribal plans, namely those without a monthly fee and only with mandatory top-up obligations; (2) lower interconnection revenues (Euro 22 million), mainly due to lower MTRs, and (3) lower equipment sales (Euro 8 million). TMN revenues in 2Q11 registered a marked improvement: -10.7% y.o.y in 2Q11, which compares to -12.4% in 1Q11. In 1H11, non-voice revenues in Portugal represented 46.0% of services revenues, having grown 4.0pp y.o.y. This positive evolution of PT’s revenue mix is making performance more resilient and predictable and was achieved on the back of increased penetration of data and video services accross all segments, following the significant investments in the fibre rollout and leading-edge technology.

(1) Operations in Portugal include the wireline segment, TMN, PT Inovação, PT SI, PT Pro, PT Contact and PT Sales. (2) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation. (3) Income from operations = income before financials and income taxes + curtailment costs + losses (gains) on disposal of fixed assets + net other costs.

 

In 1H11, EBITDA from Portuguese businesses declined by 5.1% y.o.y to Euro 663 million. EBITDA margin increased by 1.2pp y.o.y to 45.0%. Operating costs excluding PRBs and D&A in Portugal declined by 8.9% y.o.y reflecting: (1) pay-TV reaching critical mass, which leads to lower programming costs per customer in the wireline segment; (2) fibre rollout, which has a superior quality of service leading to lower customer support and network maintenance costs; (3) the implementation of transformation initiatives, namely in customer care and field force, benefiting from fixed-mobile integration, and (4) additional measures undertaken in anticipation of weaker macro fundamentals, reflecting PT’s strong cost focus. In 1H11, EBITDA in the wireline business increased by 0.4% y.o.y and in 2Q11increased by 1.1% y.o.y, benefiting from the pay-TV customer base

having reached critical mass and thus confirming the success of Meo as the key driver of the turnaround in the wireline business. This solid EBITDA performance in the wireline business was achieved against a backdrop of lower contribution to revenues and EBITDA derived from the directories business, which declined by Euro 11 million and by Euro 3 million, respectively. EBITDA at TMN declined by 11.5% y.o.y. EBITDA margin was flat y.o.y at 47.2%.

 

Wireline

 

In 1H11, retail net additions reached 105 thousand, as a result of the growth of the pay-TV service, which accounted for 89 thousand net additions, bringing the total pay-TV customers to 919 thousand (up by 30.9% y.o.y). Fixed broadband net additions in the first half stood at 39 thousand, with fixed broadband customer base growing by 11.5% y.o.y. Traffic generating lines declined only by 7 thousand in 1H11, also reflecting the positive impact of the triple-play offers. Net disconnections of voice lines were 23 thousand, including 16 thousand net disconnections of carrier pre-selection lines, which now account for only 79 thousand lines (3.0% of total PSTN/ISDN lines).

Pay-TV customer penetration stood at 35.5% of traffic generating lines (+8.4pp y.o.y) and 88.4% of the fixed broadband customer base (+13.1pp y.o.y), a solid performance considering that the pay-TV service was launched, on a nationwide basis, only in April 2008. As a result, pay-TV and fixed broadband services already represent 42.3%

Table of Contents

 

(+4.7pp y.o.y) of total retail accesses, thus further reinforcing the migration of PT’s wireline business model from a single-play operator to a triple-play operator. The pay-TV success continues to be underpinned by a solid performance in the residential segment.

 

During 1H11, PT continued to market its fibre service, which is increasingly supporting wireline performance, particularly in the high ARPU urban and also more competitive areas. Fibre customers stood at 173 thousand at the end of June 2011, already representing a 22.3% penetration over average FTTH households available for commercial sales.

 

The number of retail RGU per access, measured by the number of retail accesses per PSTN/ISDN line, continued to increase with the rollout of the pay-TV, double-play and triple-play offers and stood at 1.73 in 1H11 (+8.1% y.o.y), as compared to 1.60 in 1H10 and 1.44 in 1H09.

 

Competitors’ accesses, which include wholesale accesses and carrier pre-selection, declined by 40 thousand in 1H11, including a decrease in unbundled local loop lines (-22 thousand) and in carrier pre-selection (-16 thousand).

 

During 1H11, PT launched new features and commercial offers aimed at further strengthening and differentiating its value proposition to all its customer segments, leveraging on the convergence of  the TV, PC and mobile phone. In terms of services, PT continues to make available convergent offers that include fixed and mobile voice, fixed and mobile broadband and that may also bundle a laptop or smartphone to various customer segments. Additionally, PT also developed convergent applications for TMN, Sapo and Meo customers, including Meo Mobile, which offers 40 TV channels and remote home recording via the mobile phone, and Music Box, which offers unlimited mobile, PC and TV access to over four million songs. Moreover, PT launched this quarter a specific campaign, using both Meo and TMN’s brand that offers a double loyalty programme for Meo and TMN customers. For new Meo subscriptions, TMN customers get a bonus of Euro 5 for a six month period following the installation of Meo. Other convergent services, like Meo Jogos, a platform for games on demand through the PC, continues to be available for Meo customers. Finally, Meo online is a convergent value added service that allow customers to access live TV channels, the VoD catalogue for movie rentals and Meo’s programming grid through the PC. PT’s web portal, Sapo, continued to be an important lever to develop, in close collaboration with Meo and TMN, differentiated and convergent applications and services for the residential and personal customer segments. These apps and services are available on various platforms and devices, including Android, iPhone and iPad and on PT’s TV platform.

 

In the SME segment, PT makes available, through the Office Box brand, convergent and unlimited fixed-to-mobile voice and data solutions, integrated and vertical offers bundled with specific business software and flexible pricing solutions on a per workstation basis. In the corporate segments, PT continued to provide advanced one-stop-shop IT/IS solutions focusing on BPO and on the marketing of machine-to-machine solutions. These offers leverage on PT’s investment in FTTH and cloud computing solutions, which allow the offering of cloud-based services in partnership with software and hardware vendors.

 

In 1H11, wireline operating revenues decreased by 5.5% y.o.y (Euro 54 million) to Euro 917 million. Adjusting for a contract with the public administration related to the provision of broadband in schools (Euro 15 million) and for the decline in the directories business (Euro 11 million), wireline revenues would have declined by 2.8% y.o.y in the 1H11 (-1.1% y.o.y in 2Q11) impacted primarily by lower wholesale revenues (Euro 17 million). The revenue trend in the wireline business shows a clear sequencial improvement as revenues in 1Q11, adjusted for the effects referred to above, declined by 4.8% y.o.y.

 

20



Table of Contents

 

In the 1H11, retail revenues increased by 0.9% y.o.y to Euro 488 million, underpinned by the continued strong performance of Meo triple-play offers (voice, data and pay-TV) and thus further consolidating the turnaround of the wireline business. This performance of retail revenues was achieved against a backdrop of continued growth in pay-TV (+89 thousand net additions in the 1H11), fixed broadband (+39 thousand net adds) and resilience of traffic generating lines. Moreover, PT’s attractive and differentiated triple-play and double-play services are mitigating the decline in international traffic revenues, against a backdrop of aggressive competition, and in fixed to mobile revenues, as voice traffic is becoming more on net. As a result of this solid performance of Meo, the residential segment grew its retail revenues by 7.0% y.o.y in 1H11, reflecting the benefits of the transformation of PT’s residential offering model from a single-play to a triple-play.

 

Wholesale revenues decreased by 6.9% y.o.y in 1H11 to Euro 225 million, impacted by the decrease in leased lines revenues (-6.1% y.o.y), traffic revenues (-5.2% y.o.y), and other, including a decline in ULL, wholesale line rental and wholesale ADSL revenues in the semester (Euro 5 million), explained by network investments from other operators.

 

Revenues from data and corporate services decreased by 10.9% y.o.y in 1H11 and by 9.4% y.o.y in 2Q11, mainly as a result of the reduction in some structural projects related to the public administration (Euro 9 million), mostly related to installation of equipment and services. Excluding this effect, revenues from data and corporate would have increased by 1.9% y.o.y, with increasing revenues from network management, outsourcing and IT (+22.5% y.o.y).

Other revenues decreased by 26.5% y.o.y in 1H11 (Euro 69 million), mainly as a result of the 31.5% y.o.y decline in directories (Euro 11 million), reflecting the secular negative trend of the directories business, and 29.2% decline in equipment sales (Euro 6 million). This decline in equipment sales is primarily due to the public administration project as referred to above.

In 1H11, wireline non-voice revenues represented 55.4% of the wireline’s service revenues, having grown 3.3pp y.o.y, against a backdrop of solid growth in pay-TV and continued investments in fibre and new technologies.

 

In 1H11, EBITDA increased by 0.4% y.o.y to Euro 378 million, benefiting from focus on cost cutting and the pay-TV customer base reaching critical mass. This performance marked a robust and steady improvement (1.1% y.o.y in 2Q11, -0.2% y.o.y in 1Q11, -5.3% in 4Q10, -5.9% y.o.y in 3Q10, -6.4% y.o.y in 2Q10 and -9.4% in 1Q10). This represents the best performance in the last nineteen quarters, notwithstanding the investment in promoting pay-TV and triple-play offers, pricing pressure in the corporate and SME/SOHO segments and lower wholesale revenues. This solid EBITDA performance in the wireline segment was achieved against a backdrop of lower contribution to revenues and EBITDA derived from the directories business, which declined by Euro 11 million and Euro 3 million, respectively.

 

In 1H11, operating expenses excluding D&A and PRBs decreased by 9.3% y.o.y (Euro 55 million). Programming costs per customer decreased (-19% y.o.y in 1H11). In 1H11, support service costs decreased by 10.3% y.o.y to Euro 65 million, on the back of strong decrease in customer care costs, which benefited from the launch of a convergent award-winning selfcare plataform. This favourable performance is the result of the continued focus on improving business profitability and benefits of FTTH network rollout, which is more robust than legacy networks. In 1H11, wages and salaries decreased by 9.3% y.o.y to Euro 103 million. Commercial costs, which declined by 14.5% y.o.y to Euro 52 million, reflected the decrease in marketing and publicity and the strict cost discipline in commissions. EBITDA margin, which stood at 41.2% in 1H11, increased by 2.4pp y.o.y, clearly confirming steady improvements in the historical trend following the launch of triple-play offers and pay-TV and continued focus on cost control.

 

Capex decreased from Euro 212 million in 1H10 to Euro 194 million in 1H11 (-8.5% y.o.y), notwithstanding the continued efforts in the rollout of future proof technologies, namely FTTH. In 2Q11, customer capex in the wireline segment declined by 23% y.o.y, as a result of: (1) less set-top boxes per fibre TV customer as compared to ADSL customers; (2) declining set-top boxes unit costs, optical network terminators and home gateways, and (3) higher refurbishment rates of set-top boxes.

 

In 1H11, EBITDA minus Capex increased by 11.9% y.o.y to Euro 184 million, reflecting a clear improvement in revenue and EBITDA trends and the strong focus on cash flow generation.

 

Mobile

 

In 1H11, TMN’s total customers increased by 0.9% y.o.y to 7,334 thousand, underpinned by wireless broadband customers, with net additions of 28 thousand for postpaid customers and net losses of 113 thousand for prepaid customers. Notwithstanding the popularity of tribal plans in previous quarters, the new pricing plans launched in the personal segment, branded as “e nunca mais acaba” and “TMN unlimited” continue gaining momentum. In 1H11, postpaid customers increased by 3.3% y.o.y and accounted for 31.6% of total customer base (+0.7pp y.o.y). The growth of postpaid customers was also achieved as a result of a continued penetration of wireless broadband.

In 1H11, customer ARPU at TMN stood at Euro 11.4 (-10.3% y.o.y) mainly as a result of: (1) increased penetration of voice and data services in lower segments of the market; (2) increased popularity of tribal plans targeted at the youth segment, which reflect increased competition in the market, particularly in 2H10, and (3) pressure in postpaid voice services. Interconnection ARPU declined by 30.6% y.o.y, with termination rates declining sequentially by Euro 0.5 cents to Euro 4.5 cents as of 24 February 2011 and Euro 0.45 cents to Euro 4.0 cents as of 24 May 2011, as a result of the glide path defined by ANACOM, the Portuguese telecom regulator. As a result, TMN’s ARPU stood at Euro 12.8 in 1H11 (-12.8% y.o.y).

 

During the second quarter, TMN continued to market its new tariff plans, “e nunca mais acaba” targeted to prepaid customers and “unlimited” targeted to postpaid customers, which are aimed at simplifying its offer structure and enhancing perceived quality of TMN’s service offering, whilst simultaneously promoting the take up of data in a voice bundle. With retail prices that range between Euro 10 and Euro 25 for “e nunca mais acaba” and between Euro 15 and Euro 100 for “unlimited”, these plans continued to gain commercial traction during the quarter. Moreover, customers that migrate to these tariff plans show a positive ARPU impact, which reflects increased voice and data usage. This success is also reflected as 16% of these customers are migrations from tribal plans. The positive performance of “unlimited” tariff plans is underpinning data performance, proved by the 3.2pp y.o.y increase in the weight of data in service revenues to 27.3% in 1H11.

 

In 1H11, TMN’s operating revenues amounted to Euro 610 million, a decrease of 11.6% y.o.y (Euro 80 million), mainly due to: (1) the Euro 22 million decline in interconnection revenues, driven by the Euro 15 million negative impact of lower MTRs; (2) the Euro 50 million decline in customer revenues, reflecting mainly the VAT increase by 3pp y.o.y and increased penetration of tribal plans, namely those that do not have a monthly fee but only mandatory top-up obligations, and (3) the 16.9% y.o.y decline in equipment sales (Euro 8 million).

 

In 1H11, customer revenues stood at Euro 505 million, down by 9.0% y.o.y. Customer revenues improved sequentially, as in 2Q11 the decline was 8.2%, against 9.7% in 1Q11 and 10.2% in 4Q10. This recovery was achieved on the back of the increased commercial focus of TMN, following the launch of the “e nunca mais acaba” tariff plans in January 2011. Data revenues increased by 4.6% y.o.y in 1H11, explained by the solid performance of data packages “internetnotelemovel”, which continued to show strong growth, as a result of the commercial success of “e nunca mais acaba” and increased penetration of smartphones. In 1H11, SMS and data revenues accounted for 27.3% of service revenues (+3.2pp y.o.y). It is worth highlighting that, notwithstanding the decline in revenues from equipment sales in the quarter as a result of lower average equipment prices, unitary handset sales were flat y.o.y with smartphones increasing their weight during the 1H11.

During 1H11, TMN continued to focus on strict cost control. In 1H11, EBITDA stood at Euro 288 million (-11.5% y.o.y) declining by Euro 37 million, against a revenue decline of Euro 80 million and the decline of Euro 54 million in net service revenues  (service revenues minus direct costs). This performance is the result of cost cutting at TMN as other operating expenses declined by 20.5% y.o.y, reflecting strict cost discipline in customer care, network maintenance and general and administrative costs. In 1H11, EBITDA margin stood at 47.2%, remaining flat when compared to 1H10. Operating expenses, excluding D&A, decreased by 11.7% y.o.y in 1H11 to Euro 322 million, as a result of operational and cost discipline: (1) lower direct costs (-15.4% y.o.y to Euro 105 million), due to lower MTRs and a higher proportion of on-net traffic, notwithstanding higher capacity costs, which are associated with the provision of data services and growth in voice traffic, and (2) lower other operating costs (-20.5% y.o.y). Other operating expenses benefited from lower maintenance and repairs, which result from an integrated and more efficient management of fixed and mobile networks, the optimisation in customer care and additional reductions in general and administrative costs. Commercial costs increased by 2.7% y.o.y, to Euro 97 million, due to the increase in comissions and marketing and publicity due to the investment in marketing of new tariff plans “e nunca mais acaba” and “all net unlimited” and strong competition in certain market segments. Wages and salaries decreased by 4.0% y.o.y due to recurrent internal restructurings.

 

Capex increased by 8.1% y.o.y in 1H11 to Euro 57 million, equivalent to 9.3% of revenues (+1.7pp y.o.y). The increase in TMN’s capex is primarily explained by investments in the swap of TMN’s 2G equipment to LTE (4G) enabled equipment and investments in capacity of existing 3G and 3.5G networks, namely in urban areas.  As a reflection of these investments, TMN’s infrastructure capex was up 11% y.o.y. Additionally, TMN has been strengthening its mobile data capabilities and its network quality by leveraging the existing FTTH deployment to boost its mobile network quality and lead the 4G roll-out in the Portuguese market. As a result, the most recent study issued by Anacom, the Portuguese telecom regulator, recognised TMN as the Portuguese mobile operator

with the best 2G and 3G coverage, both in the urban areas and in the main motorways and roads, for mobile broadband services.

 

As a result of the strict focus on cash flow generation, profitability and cost cutting, EBITDA minus capex at TMN stood at Euro 231 million in 1H11.

Oi repositioned its fixed products in February and continues to offer bundled services, aiming at strengthening its offering value proposition and improving the perception of value by its customers. This includes: (1) plans that offer long distance calls as well as calls to Oi’s mobile customers; (2) bundled offers, “Oi Conta Total”, which combines fixed lines, fixed broadband and mobile, and alternative plans, and (3) the marketing of broadband, “Oi Velox”, and

pay-TV services. Oi also continues to invest in the convergence of services, making available to its customers “Oi Fixo Mais” and “Oi Fixo Ilimitado”, which are plans that add value to fixed phone calls by expanding its benefits including: (1) free minutes for local fixed calls; (2) free minutes for national long distance fixed calls using Oi’s long distance codes; (3) free minutes for local calls to Oi Mobile, and (4) digital calling services. Oi provides special commercial conditions to “Oi Velox” customers when joining these offers. Moreover, the company continues to market bundled offers (“Oi Conta Total”), in addition to Pay TV and fixed broadband, aiming at driving customer loyalty. During the quarter, Oi continued to invest in the quality of its fixed broadband service, which offers speeds up to 20Mbps for prices that start at R$39.90 per month, and expanded “Oi Velox” to 4,600 cities in Brazil, having covered 153 new cities during the quarter. Oi also increased the speeds it provides to customers, as a means to differentiate and strengthen its services. As a result, the average fixed broadband speed stood at 2.13Mbps at the end of 2Q11, which compares to 1.91Mbps in March 2011 and 1.18Mbps in June 2010. As referred to above, “Oi Velox” customers reached 4,642 thousand at the end of 2Q11 (+7.8% y.o.y), including 788 thousand (17% of total base, compared to 14% at the end of March 2011) with speeds of more than 5Mbps and 389 thousand with speeds higher than 10Mbps (313 thousand as at 31 March 2011). During 2Q11, Oi intensified the marketing of its pay-TV service, by improving its commercial channels and increasing the number of media campaigns. Oi’s TV service is primarily target at its fixed customers. In June 2011, Oi also launched new offers and promotions aimed at increasing the penetration of TV plans with Telecine channels. Oi’s pay-TV service is made available in 18 states and in the Federal District. At the end of 2Q11, Oi’s pay-TV customers reached 334 thousand, having grown by 26% y.o.y and 7.4% q.o.q.

 

Oi’s mobile customers stood at 41,540 (+11.6% y.o.y), with net additions of 68 thousand in 2Q11 and 4,314 thousand in the last 12 months. Oi’s mobile customer base already represents 63.0% of Oi’s total RGUs. Gross additions in 2Q11 stood at 6,397 thousand, up by 45.5% y.o.y, a solid pace that represents the best performance since 2008. Churn level in the period is primarily explained by the decision to adopt a more restrictive policy to keep inactive customers in the customer base, particularly in the prepaid segment, aiming at minimising spectrum fees and improving Oi’s profitability. Notwithstanding churn in 2Q11, Oi’s mobile customer base grew 11.6% y.o.y, as a result of the new offers launched in the end of 2010, particularly in the prepaid segment. These new offers allow daily bonuses, which are dependent on the amount of the recharges, that may be used for on-net and off-net SMS, local calls to fixed lines and Oi Mobile and long distance calls using Oi’s long distance codes to Oi fixed and mobile customers. During 2Q11, Oi increased some recharging requirements in certain regions, aiming at improving profitability, while at the same time offering improved bonuses to maintain the attractiveness of commercial offers. Prepaid customers stood at 34,437 thousand, representing 82.9% of Oi’s mobile customer base as compared to 83.3% in 2Q10. Postpaid customers grew by 6.0% y.o.y to 4,786 thousand in 2Q11, including a strong performance in São Paulo, where postpaid customers grew by 49.3% y.o.y in the same period. “Oi Control” customers grew by 36.5% to 2,317 thousand customers. Postpaid and “Oi Control” customers already represent 17.1% of Oi’s customer base, up from 16.7% in 2Q10.

 

In 2Q11, Oi simplified its postpaid offering structure, reinforcing its strategy aimed at reducing churn and launched a new commercial campaign focused on establishing fair and distinct values for handset and services, which breaks down the value of voice and data services as well as of the handset. Oi continued to offer a broad set of postpaid plans, with prices that start at R$48.0 per month that include 10 thousand monthly minutes for local calls made to any Oi or fixed line customer beyond the minutes packaged in the subscription fee and 200MB of internet traffic for smartphones. Oi also launched a new plan “Oi Conta Total Brasil” with the purpose to repositioning “Oi Conta Total” existing plan. This new plan allows customers to have unlimited long distance calls from Oi Fixed or Oi Mobile to a fixed line of any operator in Brazil, through Oi’s long distance prefixes, while also offering the possibility of faster “Oi Velox” services. In 2Q11, Oi also continued to innovate through the introduction of new features and promotions

for its prepaid customers. As from April 2011, the new offer for prepaid customers includes daily bonuses that can reach up to R$900 per month after the minimum initial recharge to be used on local or long distance calls to Oi’s mobile and fixed customers while at the same time allowing customers to send SMS and access the Internet. These campaigns and commercial initiatives are aimed at adding value to Oi’s prepaid offers, allowing the customer to improve its value perception and increase the popularity of mobile data and value added services.

 

In 2Q11, Oi’s consolidated gross revenue, as reported by Oi in compliance with Brazilian regulations, namely Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) and presented in accordance with the IFRS, declined by 3.8% y.o.y to R$ 11,099 million and increased by 1.8% as compared to 1Q11. Consolidated net revenue declined by 4.0% y.o.y to R$ 7,077 million and increased by 2.1% q.o.q.

Oi’s wireline gross revenues declined by 8.4% y.o.y to R$ 7,827 million. Wireline revenue performance is mainly explained by: (1) lower fixed-to-fixed local service revenues (-11.1% y.o.y), on the back of declining fixed lines in service and lower local traffic; (2) lower fixed-to-mobile calls (VC1), down by 10.3% y.o.y, due to lower installed base of fixed lines and larger traffic bonuses offered by mobile operators; (3) lower long distance revenues (FF, SMP, VC2 and VC3) due to aggressive mobile offers that bundle long distance calls  in the subscription fee; (4) higher remuneration of fixed network (+13.3% y.o.y), which benefited from settlements with other telecom operators, and (5) lower data transmission service revenues (-2.7% y.o.y) due to lower ARPU, as a result of a more aggressive commercial stance by Oi in the market to be able to compete more effectively.

 

Oi’s mobile gross revenues stood at R$ 2,973 million, having increased by 7.1% y.o.y on the back of higher revenues from subscription fees, outgoing calls and data and value added services. This revenue performance is primarily

due to: (1) higher subscription revenues (+4.7% y.o.y) on the back of growth of postpaid customers and notwithstanding the net negative impact of R$ 12 million related to deferral of the awards and bonuses related to Oi’s mobile customer loyalty programme; (2) increased traffic revenues (+8.1% y.o.y) on the back of customer growth; (3) network usage, which increased by 5.7% y.o.y, and (4) revenues from value added services, which increased by 19.0% y.o.y, on the back of higher penetration of 3G services and increased popularity of SMS offers. In 2Q11, data and value added revenues represented 16.2% of mobile service revenues as compared to 14.8% in 2Q10.

(1) EBITDA = income from operations + depreciation and amortisation. (2) Income from operations = income before financials and income taxes + curtailment costs + losses (gains) on disposal of fixed assets + net other costs.

 

EBITDA, as reported by Oi, amounted to R$ 2,476 million (-7.9% y.o.y and +24.7% q.o.q), with a margin of 35.0%. EBITDA performance in 2Q11 as compared to 2Q10 reflected primarily lower wireline revenues, notwithstanding also lower operating expenses (-1.8% y.o.y to R$ 4,601 million). Oi’s opex decline was mainly driven by: (1) lower interconnection revenues (-5.1% y.o.y), as a result of higher proportion of on-net traffic; (2) lower provisions for bad debt (-8.1% y.o.y), having accounted for 2.0% of gross revenues in 2Q11, down by 0.1pp y.o.y, and (3) lower other opex (-46.1% y.o.y) benefiting from lower payments related to FISTEL fees and smaller provisions for profit sharing, and notwithstanding the increase in: (1) wages and salaries (+14.8% y.o.y), as a result of increased staff levels in marketing and quality areas and salary adjustments; (2) marketing costs (+35.6% y.o.y), due to higher spending on advertising, promotions and events as a result of a more aggressive commercial stance by Oi, and (3) third-party services (+7.4% y.o.y), mostly due to higher selling expenses, both in terms of commissions and in terms of contact centre, focused on the postpaid mobile segment as well as on Oi Conta Total and fixed broadband. D&A declined by 8.4% y.o.y to R$ 1,435 million, largely due to lower D&A in the wireline business which benefited from assets already fully depreciated. EBIT declined by 7.2% y.o.y to R$ 1,041 million in 2Q11.

 

Other international assets

 

In 1H11, international assets, on a pro-forma basis, increased their proportional revenues by 14.8% y.o.y to Euro 327 million, while EBITDA decreased by 4.0% y.o.y to Euro 103 million, mainly due to a non recurrent adjustment in PT’s contact centre in Brazil and devaluation of currencies.

26. Jan.11 | PT informed that it signed the definitive sales and purchase, subscription and shareholders agreements with Oi and its controlling shareholders.

 

28. Mar.11 | PT informed that it had acquired a direct and indirect stake of 25.28% in Telemar Norte Leste (‘‘TMAR’’) for a cash consideration of R$ 8.32 billion. As previously stated the corporate governance rights attributed to PT allowed the proportional consolidation of its 25.6% direct and indirect stake in Telemar Participações S.A. (‘‘TmarPart’’), which fully consolidates TNL and TMAR. This proportional consolidation took place from 1 April 2011.

 

24. May.11 | PT announced that Telemar Participações S.A. (‘‘TmarPart’’) approved in its premeeting of shareholders a resolution according to which the Boards of Directors of TmarPart and of its controlled companies, Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (‘‘TNL’’), Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (‘‘TMAR’’), Coari Participações S.A. (‘‘Coari’’) e Brasil Telecom S.A. (‘‘BRT’’), together ‘‘Oi Group’’ or ‘‘Oi’’, shall initiate the procedures, including any necessary studies, to undertake a corporate restructuring of Oi. This corporate restructuring aims at incorporating jointly the shares of TMAR by Coari and of Coari and TNL by BRT, the listed company that will concentrate all shareholdings in the Oi Group and will be the only publicly listed company. BRT will then be renamed Oi S.A. and will have only two classes of shares (ON, ordinary shares, and PN, preferred shares), which will be traded on the Bovespa and NYSE, through an ADR program. The corporate restructuring is based on the following key principles: (1) TmarPart, the controlling entity of the Oi Group, will retain control; (2) the whole Oi structure is to be simplified through this transaction, and (3) independent committees will be established at each listed company to advise each Board of Directors on the terms of the transaction.

 

Furthermore, Oi subsequently announced that the proposed exchange ratios would be:

In addition, PT was informed that Avistar is a person closely related to PT’s Non Executive Director Amílcar de Morais Pires, as he is also Chairman of the Board of Directors of Avistar, and therefore this latter has the obligation to notify PT of such transactions pursuant to paragraph 4, b) of article 248-B of the Portuguese Securities Code. As a result of those transactions, BES came to hold 90,274,180 PT shares, representing 10.07% of PT’s share capital and corresponding voting rights.

 

22. Aug.11 | PT was notified by BES of additional transactions on PT shares carried out by Avistar. However, after such transactions BES’ holding remained the same, still corresponding to 90,274,180 PT shares representing 10.07% of PT’s share capital and corresponding voting rights.

Main risks and uncertainties

 

Business risk management is acquiring increasing relevance, not only due to the current globalisation context, but also considering the dynamics that characterises the industry and business environment of Portugal Telecom. Therefore, risk management plays not only a critical role in mitigating risk factors that can have a negative impact both at company’s and stakeholders’ levels, but also contributes to the identification of new business opportunities.

 

Based on such commitment, PT invested in a structured Risk Management Framework to enable the identification of strategic and operational risks, implement and adequate controls that reduce the level of risk to an acceptable level. Therefore, Portugal Telecom has set a corporate unit which mission is to carry out a continued assessment, using international standards and practices like the COSO II framework to monitor and improve the risk management process. This approach is based on the identification and analysis of key value drivers and uncertainty factors that might affect value generation and compliance with the plan and strategic goals.

 

The following components were defined in the implementation of the risk management procedure:

 

·                  Risk Dictionary - ensures the description of a common risk language used both internally and in the various disclosures made to the market regarding this matter;

·                  Risk Management Methodology, which formalizes the relevant risk identification, analysis, mitigation and report processes and procedures;

·                  Centralized Risk Record of all information associated to each relevant risk, which simplifies the analysis of the correlation between the various risk factors recorded, as well as the ranking the priority of each risk response and the identification of synergies between the various risk mitigation actions.

 

Risk Management is sponsored by the Executive Committee and directly supported by the management teams of the various business units, both at domestic and international levels, in order to ensure a timely identification and prioritisation of critical risks, according to probability of occurrence, associated control level and response capacity in a crisis, speed at which the risk or event may materialize, and the development of risk management strategies in order to implement appropriate controls and ensure that the risk is maintained at an acceptable level. It improves the quality of information supporting the decision-making procedure and aware management for the occurrence or identification of new critical risks. It should also be mentioned that the whole process is monitored by the Audit Committee, an independent supervisory body composed by non-executive board members.

 

As an economic group that carries out its business in several business areas, PT is exposed to various risks, being the following the main risk factors:

 

Regulation: PT is subject to the risk of regulatory changes or actions from national, international or European Union regulatory authorities that may create growing competitive pressure and affect its capacity to conduct its business in an effective manner. For additional information on this matter please refer to notes to the consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2011.

 

Competition: Potential decline of PT`s revenues resulting from increased competition from other operators or new players in the market, namely through (i) development of new products and services, (ii) aggressive marketing and

 

36

sales policies, (iii) improvements in product and service quality, (iv) increase in productivity and cost reduction, and (v) reconfiguration of the value chain from the customer’s point of view.

 

Technological evolution: Considering the history of quick technological changes, PT is subject to the risk of failing to leverage technological innovations and developments in its business model in order to gain or maintain competitive advantages. PT has created a companywide program, and developed specific methodologies and processes to identify future trends, anticipate business opportunities in a systematic way in all market segments of the company, involving internal experts in the innovation of new products and services, development of business concepts and operational efficiency.

 

Economic environment: The international financial crisis may lead to a prolonged recession in the Portuguese and world economies, which might have an impact at in the demand for products and services and, as a result, on PT’s operational and financial performance. As such, management continuously monitors impacts on the operational and financial performance of the Company.

 

Financial markets: Recent events have increased uncertainty and volatility in financial markets. Risk premium in the markets have increased significantly. As such, current conditions of the financial markets may have an adverse effect on PT’s ability to access the capital it needs to support its growth, its strategies, and to generate future financial returns. The management of the financial market risk is ensured by the Corporate Finance Department. PT establishes agreements regarding a set of derivative financial instruments in order to minimise the risk exposure to changes in interest rates. The acquisition of financial instruments is made after a careful analysis of risks and benefits inherent to this type of transactions and consulting with various entities operating in this market. These transactions are subject to prior approval by the Executive Committee and involve a permanent follow-up of the financial markets’ evolution and of the positions held by the Company.

 

Exchange rate exposure: PT holds strategic investments in foreign countries whose currency is not the Euro, namely Brazil and several African countries. Exchange rate fluctuations of those currencies against Euro can impact PT financial position and results. PT does not have a hedging policy regarding the value of these investments; however the Executive Committee analyses the execution of cash flow hedging of the dividends and other capital income.

 

Strategic partnerships: The growth strategy at international level is based on a combination of alliances, joint ventures and partnerships that enhance the Company’s competitive capacity. The Executive Committee of PT and its subsidiary companies play a central role in the management of this risk, by leveraging existing opportunities.

 

Infrastructure Capacity: The capacity and availability of network infrastructures are essential to ensure continued critical operations within high quality parameters aimed for customer satisfaction, but also to comply with regulatory requirements. PT has strongly emphasized the management of this risk, not only at infrastructure availability level, but also in the increase of infrastructure capacity, in such a way as to support new product and service offers to its customers. Additionally, PT’s ownership of a network infrastructure located in the public domain increases the Groups exposure to the occurrence of breakdowns and incidents. Within this scope, follow-up and risk mitigation actions are carried out as follows:

 

·                  Securing the telecommunications core network;

·                  Preparation of risk diagnoses for the various technological platforms, identifying dependencies and single failure points;

·                  Definition and implementation of disaster recovery plans;

 

37



Table of Contents

 

·                  Implementation of systems and procedures aimed at ensuring determined QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of End user Experience) levels;

·                  Investment in new generation networks and preventive maintenance actions;

·                  Investment in information systems to support the activity of technical teams.

 

Environmental: Pursuing an appropriate environmental policy has been a concern for Portugal Telecom, in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to environmental damages that might consist in: (i) liability towards third parties for any material damage caused; (ii) liability towards governments or third parties for the cost of waste removal, added by possible compensations.

 

As such, PT has reinforced its environmental management principles and actions, thus ensuring the certification of associated systems according to the ISO 14001 standard. Environmental management policies and systems cover the following areas of intervention: (i) Resource consumption; (ii) Waste production and routing; (iii) Atmospheric emissions; (iv) Noise and electromagnetic fields; (v) A supplier’s sustainability program; (v) Awareness and training campaigns.

 

Management models are subjected to periodic audits, both internal and external, and a continuous assessment of any impacts and improvements to be implemented is also carried out.

 

Talent Retention: PT’s capacity to obtain and retain talent is a fundamental vector for the pursuance of the Company’s strategic goals, particularly within the competitive context where Portugal Telecom operates, both at national and international level. As a result, the Company has paid special attention to the management of this risk, at the charge of the Human Resources Office, which acts:

 

·                  In the recruitment of new employees having the profile and knowledge necessary to ensure the key skills required for the present and future development of the PT Group;

·                  In the identification of key-elements of the PT Group, and then implement retention strategies as appropriate for the segments defined for its management.

 

Portugal Telecom’s Internal Control System is based on an acknowledged international model COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), making use of the layers established according to such model, notably: (i) Entity Level Controls; (ii) IT Level Controls; and (iii) Process Level Controls. In addition, taking into consideration the SEC requirements, goals were identified as required to ensure that any processes, systems and business units having an impact on the steps conducive to the financial reporting have appropriate and operational controls.

 

The Internal Control Department, at corporate structure level, is responsible for the identification of business units and processes on which existing controls are designed, implemented and improved is based on the identification of financial risks made by the main managers of the Group, the results of the risk management process, the materiality of the processes at a financial reporting level, and finally any legal requirements.

 

Internal Control manuals are designed and controls are implemented for the most representative business units within the PT Group, and as to smaller size units and within the framework of improvement of Internal Control and Risk Management environment beyond mandatory rules PT has defined a set of minimum internal control requirements, particularly applicable to international transactions, which served as additional guidelines for the Group to define corporate policies.

Table of Contents

 

Currently, PT has already identified around 238 processes and 2,426 critical controls for financial reporting. As to information systems, the Group has identified 19 critical systems, among which the billing systems, the SAP and the consolidation system.

 

The Internal Control Department follows up, on a quarterly basis, the deficiencies reported and situations detected within the framework of SOX audits, either by the internal auditor or by the external auditor, to the various processes, and ensures the definition of action plans for mitigation and resolution of risks detected.

 

Additionally, PT keeps a Fraud Manual, the purpose of which consists in documenting usual frauds in the business sector where the Group is inserted, in order to permit a better management of this specific risk. Such manual, other than describing fraud procedures, contains an identification of controls and persons responsible for their implementation at PT, and it is revised each year on the basis of the job carried out by the Internal Auditing in the pursuance of its activity, as well as on the basis of whistle blowing, if any, and benchmarking with other companies of the same sector.

 

The Internal Audit Department is responsible, at corporate structure level, for the evaluation of PT’s internal control system and for risk management procedures.

 

The results of the Risk Management process are integrated in the Audit plan, and operational, compliance, financial and information system audits are carried out, all year long, in the main business and operations units of the company worldwide, in order to ensure the following goals:

 

·                  Operational Audits — assessment of operational risk management procedures and of mechanisms that guarantee operational efficiency and that have a relevant impact on the pursuance of the Company’s strategy and on key value drives, in the different geographies where the Company operates;

·                  Compliance Audits — ensures that the company’s activities comply with relevant laws and regulations;

·                  Financial Audits — ensuring the effectiveness of control mechanisms associated with the collection, processing and disclosure of financial and accounting information. Within this framework, audits are carried out to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act, which requires the assessment of control procedures associated to the preparation of the Financial Statements. This evaluation is subject to certification by the External Auditor;

·                  Information Systems Audits — verification of the effectiveness of the controls addressing the risks associated to Information Systems, that ensure the security, integrity and availability of information that is critical for the business and recovering the systems in the event of interruption of operations.

 

For additional information on internal controls and risk management please refer to the Corporate Governance Report included in PT 2010 Annual Report.

(i)

Losses recorded in the six months period ended 30 June 2011 are mainly related to the impact of the depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro on the investments in Unitel and M TC, while gains recorded in the three months perio d ended 30 June 2011 are primarily explained by the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro on the investments in Oi and Contax. Gains recognized in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2010 are basically related to the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro on Portugal Telecom’s former investment in B rasilcel (Euro 510 million and Euro 340 million, respectively), which was disposed of to Telefónica in September 2010.

 

 

(ii)

In the six months period ended 30 June 2011, this caption corresponds to the cumulative amount of foreign currency translation adjustments relating to the investment in UOL, which was reclassified to consolidated profit and loss upon the completion of the disposal of this investment in January 2011 (Note 13). In the six months period ended 30 June 2010, this caption corresponds to the transfer of a portion of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to Portugal Telecom’s former investment in Brasilcel, following a repayment of part of this investment through share capital reductions occurred in this period at this company (Note 10).

 

 

(iii)

In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, this caption includes Euro 10 million and Euro 4 million, respectively, corresponding to the tax effect on dividends received from own shares recorded under equity swap contracts, relating to the dividends paid by Portugal Telecom in June 2011 and May 2010.

Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A.

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 30 June 2011

 

(Amounts stated in Euros, except where otherwise mentioned)

 

1.                  Introduction

 

Portugal Telecom, SGPS, SA (“Portugal Telecom”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”, “Portugal Telecom Group”, or “the Company”) are engaged in rendering a comprehensive range of telecommunications and multimedia services in Portugal, Brazil and other countries or regions, including Africa.

 

On 28 March 2011, Portugal Telecom concluded the acquisition process of the investments in Oi and Contax and the agreements with the controlling shareholders of these companies, for a total cash consideration of R$8,437 million (Note 2).

 

Telemar Norte Leste, S.A. (“Telemar”), which uses the brand named Oi, is the leading provider of telecommunication services in the Brazilian market and the largest fixed telecommunications operator in South America in terms of active clients. Following the share capital increases undertaken on 28 March 2011 by Telemar Participações, S.A. (“Telemar Participações”), Tele Norte Leste Participações, S.A. (“TNL”) and Telemar, Portugal Telecom acquired on that date a direct and indirect stake of 25.3% in Telemar for a total cash consideration of R$ 8.32 billion (Euro 3.68 billion). Under the terms of this acquisition, Portugal Telecom shares the power to govern the financial and operating policies of these companies, resulting in the proportional consolidation of its direct and indirect stake in Telemar Participações (25.6%), which fully consolidates TNL and Telemar. This transaction was completed following the Memorandum of Understanding entered into, on 28 July 2010, by Portugal Telecom with Andrade Gutierrez Participações, S.A. (“AG”) and LF Tel, S.A. (“LF”), two of the main shareholders of Telemar Participações, which sets the principles for the development of a strategic partnership between Portugal Telecom and Oi Group.

 

The purpose of the strategic partnership between Portugal Telecom and Oi is to develop a global telecommunications platform that will allow for cooperation in diverse areas, with a view to, among other things, sharing best practices, achieving economies of scale, implementing research and development initiatives, developing new technologies, expanding internationally, particularly in Latin America and Africa, diversifying the services provided to customers, maximizing synergies and reducing costs, and seeking to offer constant high quality services to our corporate and individual customers, while creating and adding value for our shareholders.

 

Under the strategic partnership between Portugal Telecom and Oi, it is envisaged that, amongst other purposes, Oi would use part of the proceeds received from the share capital increase mentioned above to acquire up to 10% of the outstanding shares of Portugal Telecom. Up to 30 June 2011, Oi acquired 62,755,860 shares of Portugal Telecom (Note 11), representing 7% of outstanding shares. As mentioned below, Portugal Telecom’s share in this investment was classified as treasury shares in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and amounted to Euro 148 million as at 30 June 2011, including Euro 61 million (Note 2) related to shares acquired before the end of March 2011 and Euro 87 million (Note 17.j) related to shares acquired during the second quarter of 2011.

 

Additionally, on 28 March 2011, Portugal Telecom concluded the acquisition of a 16.2% stake in CTX Participações S.A. (“CTX”) for a consideration of R$ 116 million (Euro 50 million). CTX is the controlling shareholder of and fully consolidates Contax, S.A. (“Contax”),

one of the leading corporate services company and the leader in contact centre services in Brazil. As a result of this acquisition, Portugal Telecom acquired a direct (16.2%) and indirect stake (25.8%, via AG and LF) of 42.0% in CTX and an indirect stake of 14.1% in Contax. CTX, which controls and fully consolidates Contax, is proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s financial statements, considering the corporate governance rights attributed to Portugal Telecom under the shareholders agreements entered into by the Company.

 

The Contax transaction was not completed by the end of March 2011, as the final step of this transaction, which includes the acquisition of Dedic/GPTI (Portugal Telecom’s Business Process Outsourcing provider) by Contax, was in progress. With this purpose, on 1 July 2011, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders’ Meetings of Dedic, CTX and Contax approved the following operations, as a result of which Portugal Telecom’s direct and indirect stakes in CTX and Contax was increased from 42.0% to 44.0% and from 14.1% to 19.5%, respectively : (1) the exchange of Portugal Telecom’s investment in Dedic/GPTI for a 7.6% stake in Contax; (2) the exchange of a 1.3% stake in Contax held by Portugal Telecom for an additional 3.7% stake in CTX; and (3) the disposal by Portugal Telecom to CTX of a 2.0% stake in Contax for a total amount of R$49.7 million. Considering the completion of these operations, Portugal Telecom classified assets and liabilities related to Dedic/GPTI business as held for sale as at 30 June 2011 (Note 13).

 

In April 2011, moving ahead with its internationalization strategy, Contax completed the acquisition of 100% of Allus Global BPO Center (“Allus”) for an amount of R$245 million. Consequently, the results of Contax, which are proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Income Statement as from 1 April 2011, include the full consolidation of the results of Allus as from 1 May 2011. Allus is one of the largest contact center service providers in Latin America, with operations in Argentina, Colombia and Peru and commercial activities in the United States and Spain. With this acquisition, Contax took an important step towards becoming one of the most complete global BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) providers, dedicated to supporting its clients throughout their entire customer relationship chain.

 

On 24 May 2011, in a pre-meeting of the shareholders of Telemar Participações, in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders Agreement of this company, its shareholders approved to instruct the managements of Telemar Participações and of each of its controlled companies TNL, Telemar, Coari Participações (“Coari”) and Brasil Telecom (together “Oi Companies”) to conduct the relevant analysis and implement the required procedures for the execution of a corporate reorganization of the Oi companies (the “Corporate Reorganization”). Regarding this corporate reorganization, it should be mentioned the following:

 

·             The main steps necessary to conclude this corporate reorganization include:

 

(a)   The share exchange of newly issued shares of Coari in exchange for currently outstanding shares issued by Telemar, resulting in Telemar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coari;

 

(b)   The merger of Coari into Brasil Telecom, with Coari ceasing to exist;

 

(c)   The merger of TNL into Brasil Telecom, with TNL ceasing to exist; and

 

(d)   The distribution of redeemable shares of Brasil Telecom exclusively to holders of Brasil Telecom prior to the merger, with cash redemption of such shares to be made immediately after their issuance for an amount of R$1,502 million, which shall be reflected in the calculation of the exchange ratios. Considering the commitment underlying these operations, Brasil Telecom recognized this amount payable to its shareholders as at 30 June 2011, including R$740 million payable to its controlling shareholder Coari Participações (49,3%), which is fully owned by Telemar, and R$ 762 million payable to non-controlling interests. Consequently, Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated the liability related to non-controlling interests amounting to Euro 86 million, which was included under the caption “Other current liabilities”.

 

Following these operations, Brasil Telecom, which shall be renamed Oi, S.A., will consolidate all of the current equity interests of the Oi Companies, and will be the only of the Oi Companies to have its shares listed on the stock exchange.

·             The main benefits associated with this reorganization include, among other things, simplifying the corporate structure of the Oi Companies, consolidating the Oi Companies’ shareholders bases, significantly increasing the liquidity of the shares of the Oi Companies, consolidating the Oi Companies’ balance sheets allowing for the definition of a long term dividend policy and reducing operational, administrative and financial costs.

 

·             In order to conclude this corporate reorganization, TNL, Telemar and Brasil Telecom constituted Special Independent Committees, each of which will negotiate the conditions of the transactions involving its company, including the definition of the exchange ratios, and submit its recommendations to the Board of Directors of each company.

 

·             On 1 August 2011, as a result of the analysis made by each independent committee individually and the negotiations held between all, the independent committees informed the president of the Board of Directors of each of those companies about the exchange ratios recommended that the Oi Companies’ respective Board of Directors should adopt in relation to the mergers of Coari and TNL into Brasil Telecom.

 

·             The shareholders meetings of Brasil Telecom, TNL, Coari and Telemar that will vote on the transactions described above are expected to be convened in order to be held during the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

During the year 2010, Vivo was classified as a discontinued operation following the agreement reached by Portugal Telecom with Telefónica on 28 July 2010 for the disposal of its 50% stake in Brasilcel, which was completed in September 2010. Consequently, financial information relating to this business was restated to be presented as a discontinued operation.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on 30 August 2011.

 

2.                  Basis of presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard Nº. 34 “IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting”. These financial statements do not include all the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. In addition, further explanations for the main changes of revenues and costs are disclosed in our interim management report, which should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.

 

The consolidation principles followed in the preparation of these interim financial statements are the same as were applied in the preparation of the last annual consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the consolidation perimeter

 

The main changes in the consolidation perimeter relate to the acquisition of direct and indirect stakes in Telemar and Contax, completed on 28 March 2011, following which Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated its assets and liabilities as from 31 March 2011 and its results as from 1 April 2011, as explained above. The investment in Telemar was realized through the acquisition of a direct stake in this company and indirectly through the acquisition of stakes in the share capital of its controlling shareholders, while the investment in Contax was realized indirectly through the acquisition of a stake in the share capital of CTX. The investments in Telemar and Contax were acquired through subsidiaries Bratel Brasil, S.A. and Portugal Telecom Brasil, S.A., respectively, and were structured as follows as at 28 March 2011(acquisition date):

In addition, in 2010, Vivo was classified as a discontinued operation following the agreement reached by Portugal Telecom with Telefónica on 28 July 2010 for the disposal of its 50% stake in Brasilcel, which was completed in September 2010. Consequently, financial information relating to this business was restated to be presented as a discontinued operation.

 

Except for the changes mentioned above, there are no other relevant changes in the consolidation Group that occurred during the six months period ended 30 June 2011.

 

3.                  Accounting policies, judgments and estimates

 

The accounting policies, judgments and estimates applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in Portugal Telecom’s last annual financial statements, despite these interim financial statements include certain accounting policies, judgments and estimates related to the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax which were not applicable as at 31 December 2010.

 

The following standards, revised standards or interpretations became effective during the six months period ended 30 June 2011, although their adoption had no impact in Portugal Telecom’s financial statements:

 

·             Amendments to IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures;

 

·             Amendments to IFRIC 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction;

 

·             IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments;

 

·             Amendments to IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of IFRS;

 

·             Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments; and

 

·             Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

 

In 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued the following new standards, which were not yet adopted by Portugal Telecom as they were not yet endorsed by the European Union and their application is only required in subsequent periods:

 

·             On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, which establishes the principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more entities. IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The Company is accessing the impacts of the adoption of this standard, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013;

 

·             On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, which classifies joint arrangements as either joint operations (combining the existing concepts of jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations) or joint ventures (equivalent to the existing concept of a jointly controlled entity) and requires the use of the equity method of accounting for interests in joint ventures thereby eliminating the proportionate consolidation method. This standard, which supersedes IAS 31 Interest in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-Monetary Contributions by Ventures, is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Upon the adoption of this new standard, Portugal Telecom will not proportionally consolidate its investments in Oi and Contax;

·             On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, which is applicable to entities that have an interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates or unconsolidated structured entities, establishes disclosure objectives and specifies minimum disclosures that an entity must provide to meet those objectives. In accordance with this standard, an entity should disclose information that helps users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. The Company is accessing the impacts of the adoption of this standard, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013;

 

·             On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurement under IFRS. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. The Company is accessing the impacts of the adoption of this standard, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013;

 

·             Following the changes mentioned above, the standards IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates were revised accordingly;

 

·             On 16 June 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits, which include primarily: (i) the elimination of an option to defer the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, known as the ‘corridor method’; (ii) streamlining the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring remeasurements to be presented in other comprehensive income, thereby separating those changes from changes that many perceive to be the result of an entity’s day-to-day operations; and (iii) enhancing the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans, providing better information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Company is accessing the impacts resulting from the adoption of this revised standard, although it should be mentioned that Portugal Telecom recognizes actuarial gains and losses directly in shareholders’ equity.

 

4.                  Exchange rates

 

As at 30 June 2011 and 31 December 2010, assets and liabilities denominated in Brazilian Reais were translated to Euros using the exchange rates of 2.2601 and 2.2177 Brazilian Reais to the Euro, respectively. During the six month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, the income statements of subsidiaries expressed in Brazilian Reais were translated to Euros using the average exchange rates of 2.2879 and 2.3839 Brazilian Reais to the Euro, respectively.

 

5.                  Segment reporting

 

Following the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax, which results were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, Portugal Telecom included one additional segment named Oi, which includes the holding company TNL and Telemar Norte Leste and its subsidiaries. Therefore, for the six months period ended 30 June 2011, the identification of the operating segments is as follows: (i) Wireline in Portugal (including Retail, Wholesale and Data & Corporate); (ii) Mobile in Portugal (TMN); and (iii) Oi (Brazil).

(i)           The reduction in wireline’s revenues in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, as compared to the same periods of last year, is primarily explained by: (1) lower data and corporate revenues, mainly as a result of the reduction of structural projects by the public administration; (2) a decline in wholesale revenues, which were affected by the decrease in traffic and lease lines revenues; (3) the decline of the directories business on the back of a secular downwards trend; and (4) a reduction in sales, reflecting the termination of the public administration project mentioned above. These effects more than offset the significant increase in pay-TV and retail broadband revenues.

 

(ii)        The reduction in TMN’s revenues in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, as compared to the same periods of last year, is primarily explained by: (1) lower customer revenues, reflecting mainly the increase in the Value Added Tax by 3pp and increased penetration of on-net flat-fee prepaid tariff plans; (2) lower interconnection revenues, mostly as a result of the negative impact of mobile termination rates; and (3) lower equipment sales.

 

(iii)     As mentioned in Note 1, the results of Oi were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011.

 

(iv)    The increase in revenues relating to other businesses in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 mainly relates to improved revenue performance of MTC (mobile operator in Namibia) and Timor Telecom, and also includes the impacts of the consolidation of Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 94 million) and GPTI as from 1 March 2010 (Euro 12 million).

(i)           The decrease occurred in this caption In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, as compared to the same periods of last year, primarily relates to higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the investments in the roll out of the IPTV service. This effect was partially offset by lower post

retirement benefits costs, primarily explained  by the transfer to the Portuguese State of the unfunded regulatory pension obligations, completed in December 2010, as explained in Note 6.

 

(ii)        The reduction in TMN’s income before financial results and taxes in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 was affected by the decrease in net service revenues (service revenues minus direct costs), notwithstanding the cost cutting implemented at TMN in 2011, which led to a reduction in other operating expenses.

 

(iii)     As mentioned in Note 1, the results of Oi were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011.

 

(iv)    In the six months period ended 30 June 2011, this caption includes a gain of Euro 38 million related to the completion of the disposal of the investment in UOL (Note 13). Adjusting for this effect and Portugal Telecom’s share in the earnings of UOL in the six months period ended 30 June 2010 (Euro 10 million), equity in earnings of associated companies would have amounted to Euro 85 million and Euro 74 million in the six month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflecting primarily the improvement in the earnings of Unitel notwithstanding the depreciation of the local currency.

 

In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, capital expenditures by operating segment and their reconciliation to the consolidated capital expenditures are as follows (Note 14):

The change in capital expenditures in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, as compared to the same periods of last year, reflects primarily the following effects:

 

·             A reduction in the wireline business in Portugal during the six months period ended 30 June 2011, reflecting (1) lower capital expenditures per new customers related to pay-TV services, (2) lower infrastructure-related capital expenditures following the significant efforts in the FTTH coverage undertaken in 2009 and 2010, and (3) lower investment in legacy infrastructure, following the FTTH rollout;

 

·             An increase at TMN primarily explained by investments (1) in the replacement of 2G equipment by LTE (4G) enabled equipment and (2) in existing 3G and 3.5G networks, namely in the urban areas;

 

·             The proportional consolidation of the Oi’s capital expenditures (Euro 117 million) as from 1 April 2011;

 

·             An increase in capital expenditures of other businesses, reflecting primarily the proportional consolidation of Contax’s capital expenditures as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 7 million) and higher capital expenditures of other international operations such as MTC, CST and Timor Telecom. These effects were partially offset by a reduction at Dedic, explained by the significant investments made in the three months period ended 31 March 2010 for the construction of new sites.

 

6.                  Post retirement benefits

 

As at 30 June 2011, the Company did not obtain an actuarial valuation to recognize post retirement benefits and therefore costs recorded during the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 are based on the 31 December 2010 actuarial studies, adjusted only by curtailment costs incurred during that periods.

 

As at 30 June 2011, the projected post retirement benefits obligations (PBO) from Portuguese operations, which relate to pension complements and healthcare benefits, totaled Euro 436 million and the market value of assets under management amounted to Euro 409 million, as compared to Euro 472 million and Euro 448 million as at 31 December 2010, respectively. In addition, Portugal Telecom had liabilities with salaries payable to suspended and pre-retired employees amounting to Euro 863 million as at 30 June 2011, as compared to Euro 924 million as at 31 December 2010, which are not subject to any legal funding requirement. These salaries are paid on monthly basis directly by Portugal Telecom to beneficiaries until retirement age. As at 30 June 2011, Portugal

Table of Contents

 

Telecom had unrecognized prior years’ service gains related to unvested rights amounting to Euro 18 million and therefore net benefit obligations recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position amounted to Euro 907 million.

 

In addition, following the acquisition of the investment in Oi, concluded on 28 March 2011 (Note 1), Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated net post retirement benefits obligations of that company, which amounted to Euro 52 million as at 31 March 2011, including a liability of Euro 63 million (Note 2) and an asset of Euro 11 million (Note 2), and Euro 55 million as at 30 June 2011. These net obligations mainly relate to pension benefits under several plans with different characteristics, including defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans, most of which are already closed to new participants. Oi also has several plans that present a surplus position and for which an asset is not recorded as it is not possible to obtain reimbursements for the excess financing of those plans.

 

During the six month periods ended 30 June 2010 and 2011, the movements occurred in post retirement benefits obligations, net of the market value of plan assets and unrecognized prior year service gains, were as follows:

(i)           The decrease in post retirement benefits costs from Portuguese operations reflects primarily the impact of the transfer of the regulatory unfunded pension obligations to the Portuguese State, which was completed in December 2010.

 

(ii)        This caption corresponds to the contribution paid by Portugal Telecom to the Portuguese Social Security System, relating to the annual service of active employees that were entitled to pension benefits under the Company’s post retirement benefits plans transferred to the Portuguese State in December 2010.

 

(iii)     As mentioned above, Oi has several plans that present a surplus position for which an asset is not recorded as it is not possible to obtain reimbursements for the excess financing of those plans; accordingly, and considering the provisions of IFRIC 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction, losses are recognized for those plans for which an asset cannot be recognized.

(i)           Based on the long-term yield rates of high-rating bonds with similar maturities as of the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Portugal Telecom reviewed the discount rate actuarial assumption, increasing it from 4.75% to 5.50% for healthcare benefits and from 4.75% to 5.00% for pension complements. The impact of the change in this actuarial assumption was a gain of Euro 36 million recognized in the three months period ended 30 June 2011.

 

(ii)        Net actuarial losses recorded in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010 relate to the difference between actual and expected return on plan assets. In the six month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, the actual return on assets was -5.5% and -3.3%, respectively, as compared to the actuarial assumption of 3.0%.

The reduction in net interest expenses to Euro 81 million in the six months period ended 30 June 2011, as compared to Euro 119 million in the same period of last year, is primarily explained by: (1) the decrease in the average net debt from Portuguese operations, following the first and second installments received from Telefónica in 2010 (Euro 5,500 million), related to the disposal of Portugal Telecom’s 50% stake in Brasilcel, which more than offset the impacts on average net debt resulting from dividends paid in December 2010 (Euro 876 million) and June 2011 (Euro 1,139 million), the debt related to the transfer of unfunded pension obligations completed in December 2010 (Euro 1,022 million) and the investment in Oi and Contax paid in March 2011 (Euro 3,728 million); and (2) the reduction in the average cost of debt from Portuguese operations. These effects more than offset the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and their controlling shareholders as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 49 million — Note 2), explaining the increase in consolidated net interest expenses occurred in the three months period ended 30 June 2011.

(ii)        This caption includes mainly banking services, financial taxes and other financing costs. The increase of this caption occured In the six months period ended 30 June 2011 as compared to the same periods of last year include mainly (1) financial taxes paid in Brazil during the first quarter of 2011 in connection with the transfer of funds for Portugal Telecom’s investment in Oi (Euro 14 million) and (2) the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 11 million).

 

9.                  Income taxes

 

Following a change in Portuguese tax legislation occurred in the second quarter of 2010, Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries located in Portugal are subject to Corporate Income Tax at a maximum aggregate tax rate of approximately 29.0%, corresponding to a base rate of 25%, which is increased up to a maximum of 1.5% of collectible profit through a municipal tax and by another 2.5% of collectible profit and state tax above Euro 2 million.

 

Companies located in Brazil, namely Oi and Contax that were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, are subject to income taxes at a nominal rate of 34%.

 

In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, the reconciliation between the nominal and the effective income tax is as follows:

(i)           The change in this caption is primarily explained by the reduction in non-deductible interest expenses for tax purposes and non-taxable interest income recognized in the six months period ended 30 June 2011.

 

(ii)        The gain recorded in the three months period ended 30 June 2010 resulted from the decrease in deferred tax liabilities related to unpaid dividends from equity investments, following a reduction in the estimated applicable tax rate.

 

(iii)     This caption corresponds to the effect on deferred taxes as at 1 January 2010 resulting from the change in the statutory tax rate applicable in Portugal, as mentioned above.

 

(iv)    The increase in income taxes in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, as compared to the same periods of last year, is primarily explained by: (1) the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011, amounting to Euro 28 million (Note 2); (2) the above mentioned Euro 48 million tax gain recorded in the second quarter of 2010; and (3) the Euro 4 million gain corresponding to the impact of the change in the statutory tax rate applicable in Portugal.

 

The increase in deferred tax assets recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, from Euro 653 million as at 31 December 2010 to Euro 1,288 million as at 30 June 2011, is primarily explained by the deferred tax assets from Oi and Contax that were proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position for the first time as at 31 March 2011 (Euro 654 million - Note 2), and also by the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro. These effects were partially offset by reductions in deferred tax assets related to: (1) post-retirement liabilities from Portuguese operations, as the tax effect on related payments and contributions more than offset the tax effects on post retirement benefits costs and net actuarial losses recorded in the six months period ended 30 June 2011; and (2) non-current assets held for sale (Note 13). The tax effect on net actuarial losses

 

74



Table of Contents

 

recorded in the six months period ended 30 June 2011 was a gain of Euro 0.2 million and was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

The increase in deferred tax liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, from Euro 312 million as at 31 December 2010 to Euro 648 million as at 30 June 2011, is primarily explained by the deferred tax liabilities from Oi and Contax that were proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position for the first time as at 31 March 2011 (Euro 353 million - Note 2).

 

Deferred tax assets from Oi and Contax primarily relate to tax losses carryforward and provisions for contingencies, while deferred tax liabilities mainly relate to the tax effect of fair value adjustments made in connection with purchase price allocations from business combinations occurred in previous years.

 

10.           Discontinued operations

 

In 2010, Vivo was classified as a discontinued operation following the agreement reached by Portugal Telecom with Telefónica on 28 July 2010 for the disposal of its 50% stake in Brasilcel, which was completed in September 2010. Consequently, financial information relating to this business was restated to be presented as a discontinued operation.

 

In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2010, net income from discontinued operations totaled Euro 76,685,588 and Euro 61,430,743, respectively, including (1) Portugal Telecom’s 50% stake of Vivo’s net income before non-controlling interests, amounting to Euro 44,744,735 and Euro 29,489,890, respectively, and (2) positive foreign currency translation adjustments amounting to Euro 31,940,853 transferred to net income in the three months period ended 30 June 2010, following the repayment of the investment made through share capital reductions undertaken by Brasilcel.

(i)        Intangible assets consiste primarily of (1) goodwill, including mainly the goodwill recorded on a preliminarily basis in connection with the acquisition of the investment in Oi and Contax, amounting to Euro 1,813 million as at 30 June 2011, and (2) licenses and concessions, namely licenses related to Portuguese operations that were already included in Portugal Telecom’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2010 and also licenses and concessions related to Oi, as described below.

 

The change in the carrying amount of tangible and intangible assets is primarily explained by:

 

·                  The impacts resulting from the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax totaling Euro 6,445 million on 31 March 2011, including tangible and intangible assets proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position amounting to Euro 2,632 million (Note 2) and Euro 2,035 million (Note 2), respectively, and the goodwill recorded on a preliminarily basis as a result of this transaction, amounting to Euro 1,777 million as at 31 March 2011 (Note 2). Tangible assets relate mainly to infrastructure and transmission equipment and intangible assets include primarily regulatory licenses and concessions, namely the concession from Brasil Telecom, which renders fixed telephone service in Region II, as mentioned above, and 2G and 3G licenses acquired in previous years by mobile operators from Oi Group;

 

·                  The impacts resulting from the acquisition and consolidation of the investment in Allus totaling Euro 44 million, including tangible and intangible assets proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position amounting to Euro 6 million (Note 2) and Euro 20 million (Note 2), respectively, and the goodwill recorded on a preliminarily basis as a result of this transaction, amounting to Euro 18 million as at 30 April 2011 (Note 2);

 

·                  Tangible and intangible assets related to Dedic/GPTI business amounting to Euro 46 million and Euro 70 million, respectively, which were included under the caption “Non-current assets held for sale” (Note 13);

 

·                  Capital expenditures amounting to Euro 418 million (Note 5);

 

·                  Depreciation and amortization costs of Euro 564 million; and

 

·                  Positive foreign currency translation adjustments amounting to Euro 105 million, primarily related to the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro during the second quarter of 2011, following the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax.

The increase in depreciation and amortization costs in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, over the same periods of last year, reflects primarily (1) the effect of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011, amounting to Euro 171 million (Note 2), and (2) higher amortization costs at the wireline business in Portugal (Euro 34 million and Euro 16 million, respectively), mainly as a result of the investments in the rollout of the Pay-TV service.

 

As at 30 June 2011, the Group had assumed commitments for the acquisition of fixed assets and inventories amounting to Euro 91 million and Euro 81 million, respectively.

 

In March and April 2011, ANACOM (the Portuguese Telecom Regulator) has approved the final terms and conditions for the commitment assumed by Portugal Telecom under the DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) license granted in 2008. The main commitment assumed by the Company is related to the future subsidization of TV set-top boxes and other equipment to certain ranges of the Portuguese population, which constitute a portion of the related license cost. As at 30 June 2011, the Company was under the process of computing this responsibility.

The increase in gross debt by Euro 5,174 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2011 is primarily related to the following effects:

 

·             The gross debt from Oi, Contax and its controlling holdings that was proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position for the first time as at 31 March 2011, amounting to Euro 3,748 million, of which Euro 656 million matured within one year (Note 2) and Euro 3,092 million was non-current debt (Note 2). In the three months period ended 30 June 2011, gross debt from Oi, Contax and its controlling holdings decreased to Euro 3,472 million, primarily due to repayments of promissory notes issued by TNL (Euro 167 million), a credit facility entered into previously by Telemar (Euro 222 million) and debentures issued by TNL (Euro 170 million);

 

·            The Euro 600 million Eurobond issued by PT Finance BV on 8 February 2011, with a maturity of 5 years and a coupon of 5.625%, with a reoffer level of 295bp over the mid swap rate;

 

·            An amount of Euro 750 million drawn in 2011 under the new credit facility secured by Portugal Telecom on 23 March 2011, amounting to Euro 900 million and maturing in March 2014, subsequently increased to Euro 1,050 million on 12 April 2011 and Euro 1,200 million on 13 April 2011; and

 

·            An increase of Euro 456 million in the outstanding amount due under commercial paper programmes.

 

Except for the above mentioned, during the six months period ended 30 June 2011, Portugal Telecom (a) did not issue any new bonds or exchangeable bonds, (b) has not repaid any bonds outstanding as at 31 December 2010 and (c) did not obtain any other significant new facilities or issued relevant amounts of notes.  Additionally, the repayments of bank loans and debt were made in line with repayment terms disclosed in the last annual report.

 

Excluding the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, liquidity position, including cash, undrawn amounts of underwritten commercial paper and standby facilities and the receivable from Telefónica related to the sale of Vivo, stood at Euro 5,372 million as at 30 June 2011.

 

On 3 June 2011, S&P announced its review of the credit rating attributed to Portugal Telecom, downgrading the long-term rating from BBB to BBB-, with negative outlook, and the short-term rating from A-2 to A-3. On 7 June 2011, Moody’s announced its review of the credit rating attributed to Portugal Telecom, downgrading the long-term rating from Baa2 to Baa3 and maintaining it under review for possible downgrade. On 29 July 2011, Moody’s confirmed the Baa3 issuer rating of Portugal Telecom, with negative outlook. Considering the credit rating covenant applicable to certain loan agreements with the EIB, amounting to Euro 182 million as at 30 June 2011, Portugal Telecom and the EIB have agreed to increase the spread of those loans, with no other consequence as a result of the revision of Portugal Telecom’s credit rating.

 

15.2        Profile and detail of debt from Oi, Contax and its controlling holdings

 

The debt of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders that was proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position for the first time as at 31 March 2011 amounted to Euro 3,748 million. As of that date, the average maturity of this debt was approximately 4 years and approximately 90% of the debt was denominated in Brazilian Reais, directly or indirectly through cross currency derivatives.

(a)              Civil contingencies

 

(i)                Corporate Law

 

As successor to CRT, which was acquired in July 2000, Oi is subject to various civil claims filed against that entity, namely several claims filed by users of telephone lines in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. CRT entered into financial interest agreements with its fixed-line subscribers. Under these financial interest agreements, customers had the right to subscribe to a number of CRT shares, being the number of shares to be issued to each subscriber determined based on a formula that divided the cost of the fixed-line subscription by the book value of CRT’s shares. Beginning in June 1997, certain of CRT’s fixed-line subscribers began to file suits in which they claimed that the calculation used by CRT to arrive at the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the financial interest agreements was incorrect and resulted in the claimants receiving too few shares.

 

In addition, as successor to Telecomunicações do Mato Grosso do Sul S.A. (“Telems”), Telecomunicações de Goiás S.A. (“Telegoiás”) and Telecomunicações do Mato Grosso S.A. (“Telemat”), operating companies acquired by Brasil Telecom Holding in the privatization of Telebrás and which were subsequently merged into Oi, Oi is subject to various civil claims in

connection with telephone programs (Community Telephone Programs) established in the States of Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás and Mato Grosso.

 

Brasil Telecom, based on the decisions of the court of justice issued in 2009, considers the risk of loss regarding these proceedings as probable. Currently, the provisions for these lawsuits are based on (i) several legal interpretations, (ii) the number of ongoing lawsuits by matter discussed and (iii) the average amount of historical losses, broken down by matter (including all procedural costs).

 

At the end of 2010, the website of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) disclosed news that this court had set compensation criteria to be adopted by Brasil Telecom to the benefit of the shareholders of the former CRT for those cases in which new shares, possibly due, could not be issued because of the sentence issued. According to this court judgment news, which does not correspond to a final decision, the potential compensation (conversion of the obligation into cash) must be based on: (i) the definition of the number of shares that each claimant would be entitled, measuring the capital invested at the book value of the share reported in the company’s monthly trial balance on the date it was paid-in; (ii) the number of shares determined shall be multiplied by its quotation on the stock exchange at the closing of the trading day the final and unappealable decision is issued, when the claimant becomes entitled to sell or disposed of the shares, and (iii) the result obtain must be adjusted for inflation from the trading day of the date of the final and unappealable decision, plus legal interest since notification. In the case of succession, the benchmark amount will be the stock market price of the successor company.

 

As at 30 June 2011, Oi had recorded provisions in the amount of R$2,398 million for those claims in respect of which it deemed the risk of loss as probable, as compared to R$2,444 million as at 31 March 2011.

 

(ii)            ANATEL estimates and fines

 

Oi has received various notifications from ANATEL, mainly for not meeting certain goals or obligations set out in the General Plan on Universal Service or in the General Plan on Quality Goals, such as responding to complaints relating to billing errors, requests for service repairs on a timely basis and requests from locations with collective or individual access. As at 30 June 2011, Oi had recorded provisions in the amount of R$883 million for those claims in respect of which it deemed the risk of loss as probable, as compared to R$850 million as at 31 March 2011.

 

(b)              Labor contingencies

 

Oi is a party to a large number of labor claims arising out of the ordinary course of its businesses, including claims for: (1) risk premium payments sought by employees working in dangerous conditions; (2) wage parity claims seeking equal pay among employees who do the same kind of work, within a given period of time, and have the same productivity and technical performance; (3) indemnification payments for, among other things, work accidents, occupational injuries, employment stability, child care allowances and achievement of productivity standards set forth in its collective bargaining agreements; (4) overtime wages; (5) joint liability allegations by employees of third-party service providers; and (6) additional post retirement benefits.

 

As at 30 June 2011, the total estimated contingencies in connection with labor claims against Oi in respect of which the risk of loss was deemed probable totaled R$2,020 million, as compared to R$2,079 million as at 31 March 2011.

 

(c)              Tax contingencies

 

As at 30 June 2011, the estimated contingencies in connection with tax proceedings against Oi in respect of which the risk of loss was deemed probable and possible amounted to R$876 million and R$17,200 million, respectively, as compared to

 

87



Table of Contents

 

R$956 million and R$16,619 million as at 31 March 2011, respectively. The Brazilian corporate tax system is complex, and Oi and Contax are currently involved in tax proceedings regarding, and have filed claims to avoid payment of, certain taxes that it believe are unconstitutional. These tax contingencies relate primarily to value-added tax, service tax and taxes on revenue.

 

(i)                ICMS (Value Added Tax)

 

Under the regulations governing the ICMS, in effect in all Brazilian states, telecommunications companies must pay ICMS on every transaction involving the sale of telecommunication services they provide. Oi may record ICMS credits for each of its purchases of operational assets. The ICMS regulations allow Oi to apply the credits it has recorded for the purchase of operational assets to reduce the ICMS amounts it must pay when it sells its services.

 

Oi has received various tax assessments challenging the amount of tax credits that it recorded to offset the ICMS amounts it owed. Most of the tax assessments are based on two main issues: (1) whether ICMS is due on those services subject to the Local Service Tax (Imposto Sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza), or ISS; and (2) whether some of the assets it has purchased relate to the telecommunication services provided, and, therefore, qualify for an ICMS tax credit. A small part of the assessments that are considered to have a probable risk of loss relate to: (1) whether certain revenues are subject to ICMS tax or ISS tax; (2) offset and usage of tax credits on the purchase of goods and other materials, including those necessary to maintain the network; and (3) assessments related to non-compliance with certain ancillary (non-monetary) obligations.

 

As at 30 June 2011, Oi had recorded provisions in the amount of R$573 million for those assessments in respect of which it deemed the risk of loss as probable, as compared to R$624 million as at 31 March 2011.

 

(ii)            FUNTTEL

 

FUNTTEL (Fundo para o Desenvolvimento Tecnológico das Telecomunicações) is a fund that was established to finance telecommunications technology research, for which Oi is required to make contributions. Due to a change by ANATEL in the basis for calculation of its contributions to the FUNTTEL, for which Oi has questioned its legality, Oi recorded provisions for additional contributions to these funds.  As at 30 June 2011, Oi had recorded provisions in the amount of R$114 million for assessments of the FUNTTEL, as compared to R$111 million as at 31 March 2011.

 

17.           Statement of cash flows

 

(a)          Cash flows from operating activities relating to continuing operations - Following the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax completed on 28 March 2011, the cash flows from these companies were proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Cash Flows as from 1 April 2011, which explains the increases in cash receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and employees and payments of indirect taxes.

 

(b)          Payments relating to income taxes - The increase in this caption is primarily explained by (1) withholding taxes paid by  Bratel Brasil and PT Móveis related to interest income obtained from the financial applications of the proceeds from the disposal of Vivo, and (2) the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax as from 1 April 2011 (Euro 17 million).

 

(c)          Short-term financial applications - These captions include basically cash payments from new short-term financial applications entered into and cash receipts from the short-term applications matured. Net cash payments amounted to Euro 300,221,915 in the six  months period ended 30 June 2011, as compared to net cash receipts of Euro 4,321,750 in the six months period ended 30 June 2010.

(h)         Loans - Cash receipts resulting from loans obtained and cash payments resulting from loans repaid relate basically to commercial paper and other bank loans which are regularly renewed.

 

In the six months period ended 30 June 2011, cash receipts from loans obtained, net of cash payments resulting from loans repaid, amounted to Euro 1,374,732,815 and, as explained in Note 15, includes primarily: (1) the Euro 600 million Eurobond issued in January 2011; (2) the increase in the outstanding amount due under commercial paper programmes by Euro 456 million; and (3) the Euro 750 million amount drawn under the new credit facility secured in March 2011. These effects were partially offset by certain repayments of debt made by Oi during the three months period ended 30 June 2011, as detailed in Note 15.

 

In the six months period ended 30 June 2010, cash receipts from loans obtained, net of cash payments resulting from loans repaid, amounted to Euro 978,926,305 and basically relate to the increase in the level of usage of short-term commercial paper programmes and certain revolving credit facilities.

Introduction

 

1.                    For the purposes of the Securities Market Code (Código dos Valores Mobiliários) we hereby present our limited review report on the consolidated financial information of Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries, for the six months period ended 30 June 2011 included in the Board of Directors’ Report, in the consolidated statement of financial position (that presents a total of 22,660,805,687 Euros and shareholders’ equity of 4,100,773,536 Euros, including a consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of 227,864,661 Euros), in the consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the six months period then ended and in the corresponding notes.

 

2.                    The amounts in the financial statements, as well as the additional financial information, were extracted from the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation, subsequently adjusted in the consolidation process to be in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union.

 

Responsibilities

 

3.                    The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for: (i) the preparation of consolidated financial information that presents a true and fair view of the financial position of the companies included in the consolidation, the consolidated results and comprehensive income of their operations, the changes in consolidated shareholders’ equity and their consolidated cash flows; (ii) the preparation of historical financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union and that is complete, true, actual, clear, objective and licit, as required by the Securities Market Code; (iii) the adoption of adequate accounting policies and criteria; (iv) the maintenance of appropriate systems of internal control; and (v) informing of any significant facts that have influenced their operations, financial position, results or comprehensive income.

 

4.                    Our responsibility is to verify the financial information contained in the documents referred to above, namely if, in all material respects, it is complete, true, actual, clear, objective and licit, as required by the Securities Market Code, and issue a professional and independent report which provides moderate assurance on that financial information, based on our work.

Scope

 

5.                    Our work had the objective of obtaining moderate assurance about whether the financial information referred to above is exempt from material misstatements. Our work was performed in accordance with the Technical Review/Audit Standards (“Normas Técnicas e as Directrizes de Revisão/Auditoria”) issued by the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors (“Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas”), was planned in accordance with that objective and consisted principally of enquiries and analytical procedures to review: (i) the reliability of the assertions included in the financial information; (ii) the adequacy of the accounting policies adopted, taking into consideration the circumstances and their consistent application; (iii) the applicability, or not, of the going concern concept; (iv) the presentation of the financial information; and (v) if, in all material respects, the consolidated financial information is complete, true, actual, clear, objective and licit , as required by the Securities Market Code.

 

6.                    Our work also included verifying the consistency of the consolidated financial information included in the Board of Directors’ Report with the remaining documents referred to above.

 

7.                    We believe that our work provides a reasonable basis for issuing this Limited Review Report on this half year consolidated information.

 

Opinion

 

8.                    Based on our work, which was performed with the objective of obtaining moderate assurance, nothing came to our attention that leads us to believe that the consolidated financial information for the six months period ended 30 June 2011, referred to in paragraph 1 above of Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiaries, is not exempt from material misstatements that affect its conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union for Interim Financial Statements (IAS 34), and that, in accordance with the definitions included in the standards referred to in paragraph 5 above, is not complete, true, actual, clear, objective and licit.

 

Emphasis

 

9.                    As discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, as of 30 June 2010 it was in progress the quantification of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in Group Oi and Contax, being the difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired, amounting to approximately 1,813 million Euros as of that date, allocated preliminarily to goodwill (Note 14). The fair value adjustments to be recorded under this purchase price allocation will be recognized in the financial statements of subsequent periods with effects reported to the acquisition date.
