Net revenue grew (+7.7% YoY), driven by the strong performance of mobile postpaid revenue (+9.1% YoY). Postpaid’s performance is related to the increase in customer base (+7.6% YoY), which totaled 66.5 million in the quarter, driven by migrations from prepaid and the addition of new customers, that contributed to the +1.6% YoY increase in postpaid ex-M2M and ex-dongles ARPU, to R$52.1, while churn stood at historically low levels, 0.99%.
Fixed revenue increased +8.0% YoY, driven by the FTTH (+12.4% YoY) and Corporate Data, ICT and Digital Services (+21.1% YoY) revenues. Our FTTH network reached 29.1 million homes passed (+11.2% YoY), with 7.0 million homes connected (+12.7% YoY).
