The company's revenue from mobile-phone services increased 7% in the period to BRL5.27 billion, while its revenue from fixed-lined-phone services dropped 8.9% to BRL2.9 billion.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, decreased to BRL2.75 billion from BRL2.85 billion. The company's Ebitda margin reduced to 32.1% from 34.2%.

The company had 90.86 million customers at the end of the first quarter, down from 91.11 million at the end of the fourth quarter, but up from 90 million customer in the prior-year period.
