In 3Q18, consolidated net revenues totaled R\$ 5,481 million, down 8.1% from 3Q17 and 1.2% lower than in the previous quarter, while net revenues from Brazilian operations ("Brazil") came to R\$ 5,431 million (-8.2% y.o.y. and -1.1% q.o.q.) and net revenues from international operations (Africa and East Timor) totaled R\$ 51 million.

BRAZIL

Net revenues from Brazilian operations stood at R\$ 5,431 million in 3Q18 (-8.2%y.o.y. and -1.1% q.o.q.). The annual comparison is mainly impacted by the tariff adjustment occurred in July 2017, reflected in the Residential, Personal Mobility and Small business segments. The sequential comparison shows a trend improvement, with a slowdown, mainly due to the good performance of Personal Mobility segment, which showed the highest sequential growth in customer net revenues in the market.

The three segments (Residential, Personal Mobility and B2B) have been impacted by the decline in voice traffic and reduced interconnection revenues, caused by the cut in the regulated interconnection (MTR, TU-RL and TU-RIU) and fixed-to-mobile (VC) tariffs. On the other hand, data revenue from the Personal Mobility segment and Pay TV revenue from the Residential segment continue to grow, partially offsetting the impacts of the decline in voice.

Total net service revenues, which exclude handset revenues, stood at R\$ 5,382 million in 3Q18 (-8.2% y.o.y. and -1.3% q.o.q.), while total net customer revenues, which exclude handset and network usage revenues, came to R\$ 5,230 million (-7.9% y.o.y. and -0.9% q.o.q.).

The structural strategy to increase profitability in the segment is to deploy fiber to offer high-speed
broadband
to the customer home. Oi began to accelerate
"Network Reuse," in which it strengthened the robustness of its transportation network and the capillarity of
the metropolitan fiber network to expand the availability of Fiber-to-the-
average cost 30% lower than the traditional approach and more commercially efficient, with market demand
driven expansion.

due to the reduction in the broadband customer base and the fixed line customer base, as a result of the
natural market trend of reducing voice usage.
Residential ARPU
Residential ARPU totaled R\$ 80.2 in 3Q18, down 1.2% from 3Q17 and up 1.0% over 2Q18, driven by pay-TV ARPU
and an increased number of convergent offers in the base. In 3Q18, the number of households with more
than one Oi product grew 1.9 p.p. over 3Q17 and 0.5 p.p. over 2Q18.
Fixed Line
Oi ended 3Q18 with 8,578 thousand fixed line RGUs in the Residential segment (-9.4% y.o.y.

3Q18 Earnings Release In order to slow down the customer base decline, the Company has been concentrating its sales efforts on more profitable, high-end bundled offers to build customer loyalty, thereby reducing the churn rates and increasing profitability in this segment.

Broadband

The Company closed 3Q18 with 5,016 thousand fixed broadband RGUs in the Residential segment (-3.7% y.o.y. and -0.7% q.o.q.). The reduction was mainly due to fiercer competition from local players who offer broadband services in small towns outside major urban centers.

As already said, the Company has been increasing the intensification of commercial activity with marketing regionalized strategies and taking one-off measures to tailor offers to each customer. In addition, even before receiving the proceeds of the capital increase approved in the Judicial Reorganization Plan, Oi is already investing in fiber, with the "Reuse" strategy also mentioned above, which is able to deliver 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps broadband.

Pay TV

In 3Q18, the Residential pay-TV base once again recorded both annual (+9.0%) and sequential (+2.3%) growth, reaching 1,579 thousand pay-TV RGUs. According to Anatel, Oi TV was the only major pay-TV operator to record customer base growth in the last 12 months.

In 3Q18, pay-TV net adds totaled 130 thousand RGUs compared to 3Q17 and 35 thousand RGUs compared to 2Q18. Oi TV's penetration in households with an Oi fixed line reached 18.4% in 3Q18 (+3.1 p.p. y.o.y. and +0.9 p.p. q.o.q.). Pay-TV ARPU was in line with 3Q17 and 2Q18.

Oi TV is a differentiated product that offers a wide range of content, with high definition channels (including open channels) in all its plans, with the most complete offer providing up to 185 channels, 65 of which in HD. It also offers services like PenVR (content recording and live/pause service via pen drive available in any plan) and iPPV (purchase of pay-per-view events by remote control), as well as TV Everywhere, which allows customers to watch content from 49 channels, including 31 with live content. TV Everywhere includes the Oi Play virtual platform, reinforcing Oi's positioning in providing more user autonomy and a better customer experience through the digitalization of services.

In addition, with the strategy of accelerating FTTH sale through network Reuse, Oi started to commercialize IPTV with fiber as well.

(2) Includes postpaid plans, Oi Controle, bundled mobile services and 3G (mini-modem).

Personal Mobility net revenues totaled R\$ 1,813 million in 3Q18, down 6.5% from 3Q17, due to lower network usage revenues, following the annual cuts in the interconnection (MTR) tariffs, and reduced voice revenues, both in the prepaid segment, driven by high unemployment rates, and in the postpaid segment, more impacted by limited investments in 4G.

In the sequential comparison, Personal Mobility net revenues reversed the trend and grew 1.1%, with the best sequential performance in the market. This performance is mainly due to the new offering portfolio in the prepaid, control and postpaid segments, which is now a lot simpler and in line with the market trend of replacing voice services with data. In the postpaid segment, Oi has been marketing offers featuring increasingly high data allowances of up to 50GB, unlimited voice service, sharing of the allowance with the other users in the plan and the possibility of purchasing additional packages, based on the users' needs. In the prepaid and control segments, the offers now feature a functionality that has been enjoying great market acceptance, as it allows customers to choose between using voice or data, with no exchange limits or additional costs, directly on the Minha Oi app. On October 16, "Novo Oi Livre" offer was released, which grants full month and voice allowance for any recharge value, as well as Whatsapp and Messenger without deducting from the allowance. In Control segment, in addition to having free Whatsapp and Messenger, customers of Intermediate plan can use Facebook without deducting from the allowance.

The reversal of the downward trend in the quarter is also due to the intensification of commercial activity allied to the marketing regionalized strategies. In addition, the Company is accelerating the refarming of the 1.8Ghz frequency range for 4G and 4,5G, which has reached 22 cities with these features this year.

Customer revenues, which exclude interconnection and handset revenues, totaled R\$ 1,670 million in 3Q18, down 5.1% from 3Q17 and up 1.9% over 2Q18, due to the reasons mentioned above. In the same period, data revenues came to R\$ 1,258 million, an increase of 21.4% over 3Q17 and 13.5% over 2Q18, accounting for 75.3% of total customer revenues in the quarter.

In 3Q18, network usage revenues fell 22.9% from 3Q17 and 18.8% from 2Q18, to R\$ 95 million, mainly due to the regulated MTR tariff cuts. In February 2018, interconnection tariffs declined to R\$ 0.02606, R\$ 0.02815 and R\$ 0.04141 in Regions I, II and III, respectively. ANATEL approved the following future cuts for 2019: R\$ 0.01379, R\$ 0.01471 and R\$ 0.02517 in Regions I, II and III, respectively. Handset revenues totaled R\$ 48 million in 3Q18, versus R\$ 55 million in 3Q17 and R\$ 37 million in 2Q18.

OPERATING RESULTS

3Q18 Earnings Release Oi closed 3Q18 with 36,454 thousand RGUs in the Personal Mobility segment, down 8.0% from 3Q17 and virtually in line with 2Q18, mainly due to the offering repositioning. Oi recorded 3,173 thousand net disconnections between 3Q17 and 3Q18, comprising 3,708 thousand net disconnections in the prepaid segment and 535 thousand net adds in the postpaid segment. Compared to the previous quarter, there were 344 thousand net disconnections in the prepaid segment and 321 net adds in the postpaid.

Oi's mobile customer base (Personal Mobility + B2B) totaled 38,906 thousand RGUs in 3Q18, 36,454 thousand of which in the Personal Mobility segment and 2,452 thousand in the B2B segment. Gross adds in the mobile segment totaled 4.3 million, while net adds came to 23 thousand compared to the previous quarter.

Prepaid

The prepaid customer base closed 3Q18 with 29,099 thousand RGUs, down 11.3% from 3Q17, mainly due to the policy of disconnection of inactive customers. The country's still high unemployment rate had a direct impact on the segment, as it affected both total recharges and the recharger base, causing prepaid revenues (including long-distance revenues) to fall 3.5% from 3Q17.

In the sequential analysis, although RGUs fell 1.2%, net revenues (including long-distance revenues) grew 1.2%, due to the repositioning of offerings, which are now simpler and feature a higher data allowance. The main prepaid offer, Oi Livre, accounted for 72.3% of the base and has been successfully increasing customer profitability, given that its average ticket is higher than that of other prepaid offers. As a result, prepaid ARPU continued to grow, moving up 6.3% over 3Q17 and 0.8% over 2Q18. Oi Livre customers can choose whether they will use voice minutes or data directly on the Minha Oi app, with no exchange limits or additional costs.

Postpaid

Oi closed the quarter with 7,355 thousand RGUs in the postpaid + control segment (+7.8% y.o.y. and +4.6% q.o.q.). Gross adds grew 13.1% over 3Q17 and 16.5% over 2Q18, resulting in net adds in both annual (535 thousand RGUs) and sequential (321 thousand RGUs) terms. In 3Q18, the postpaid base accounted for 20.2% of the Personal Mobility base, versus 19.3% in 2Q18 and 17.2% in 3Q17.

In the sequential comparison, the positive customer base results were reflected on revenues, which increased 2.8% including long-distance revenues, despite the 5.7% decline year on year. Offer simplification and innovation, intensification of commercial activity, strategy focused on regional offers and the beginning of the refarming of the 1.8Ghz frequency range for 4G and e 4,5G are driving the reversal of the downward trend in the postpaid and control business.

2G, 3G and 4G LTE Coverage

Oi's 2G coverage reached 3,407 municipalities at the end of 3Q18 (93% of the country's urban population), while 3G coverage reached 1,631 municipalities (+8.6% y.o.y.), or 81.6% of the Brazilian urban population.

At the end of 3Q18, 4G LTE coverage reached 836 municipalities (+183% y.o.y.), or 74% of Brazil's urban population, 11.0 p.p. more than in 3Q17. The Company is accelerating the strategy of refarming of the 1.8Ghz frequency range and, in the future, 2.1Ghz, for the expansion of 4G and 4.5G coverage.

Net revenues in the B2B segment amounted to R\$ 1,475 million in 3Q18, 7.6% less than in 3Q17, mainly due to (i) the decline in voice traffic, following the market trend; and (ii) the cut in the regulated fixed-to-mobile (VC) and interconnection (MTR) tariffs. Compared to the previous quarter, net revenues declined 3.3%.

Regarding the RGUs, the downward trend was reversed. Oi closed the quarter with 6,565 thousand RGUs in the B2B segment (+ 0.3% y.o.y. and +0.4% q.o.q.), driven by growth in the mobile customer base (+6.3% y.o.y. and +1.9% q.o.q.) and in the pay-TV customer base (+11.9% y.o.y. and +5.5% q.o.q.). In 3Q18, net adds totaled 23 thousand RGUs compared to 3Q17 and 24 thousand RGUs compared to 2Q18.

The Company has been acting with strategies to reverse the revenue trend. In Corporate segment, Oi is expanding its commercial capillarity and intensifying its commercial activity, increasing the number of regional and growing the sales team. Oi is also working to mitigate the impacts of falling demand for traditional services, becoming providers of digital and IT solutions. The first results are coming, with a significant increase of new contracts, which will become into revenue in the future.

In the SMEs the Company is adopting the Corporate strategy for Medium enterprises and the B2C strategy for the Small enterprises, given their similarities. Oi is regionalizing the offers and intensifying its commercial actions together with the "Network Reuse" approach to the FTTH offering.

And for Wholesale segment, the strategy has been to increase the share of unregulated revenues on the total revenue, aiming to optimize the value creation with the existing infrastructure.

In 3Q18, consolidated routine Opex, including international operations, totaled R\$ 4,022 million (-7.7% y.o.y. and + 1.0% q.o.q.). Routine opex in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 3,977 million in 3Q18 (-8.0% y.o.y. and +1.1% q.o.q.). Considering inflation (IPCA) of 4.5% in the last 12 months, this result corresponded to a decrease of 11.9% in real terms compared to 3Q17.

Personnel

In 3Q18, personnel costs and expenses totaled R\$ 654 million, falling 2.7% from 3Q17, due to a decline in the payment of salaries, charges and benefits, due to gains in operating efficiency and increase in productivity. Compared to 2Q18, personnel costs and expenses increased 11.1%, mainly due to the provisions for the payment of variable compensation related to the achievement of operational, financial and quality targets in 2018.

Interconnection

Interconnection costs in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 146 million (-18.1% y.o.y. and -7.4% q.o.q.), chiefly due to the interconnection (MTR) tariff cuts, offset by increased traffic.

Third-party Services

Costs and expenses related to third-party services in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 1,492 million in 3Q18, down 3.8% from 3Q17, due to the reduction in selling, IT and call center expenses, driven by the increased efficiency of the new customer service quality model. The annual reduction was partially offset by higher electricity cost, due to the change in the tariff flag, and with TV content costs, due to the higher subscriber base and the contractual adjustments with operators.

It is important to mention that the reduction in sales commission expenses was impacted by IFRS 15 (see table 2 of this document), which came into effect on January 1, 2018 and determined the deferral of incremental customer acquisition costs.

In the sequential comparison, third-party costs and expenses grew 3.7%, mainly due to higher TV content and electricity expenses.

3Q18 Earnings Release Network Maintenance Services

Network maintenance service costs and expenses in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 288 million in 3Q18, down 12.5% from 3Q17, reflecting improved productivity, more efficient field operations and the digitalization of processes and customer service. Quality indicators improved over 3Q17, including rework rate within 30 days (-16.4% y.o.y.), average time until installation (-21.3% y.o.y.), complaints to ANATEL for technical reasons (- 40.9% y.o.y.) and productivity (+9.4% y.o.y.). Compared to the previous quarter, network maintenance service costs and expenses climbed 6.1% due to higher preventive investments related to the upcoming rainy season.

Handset Costs/Other (COGS)

In 3Q18, handset costs in Brazilian operations amounted to R\$ 44 million, in line with 3Q17 and R\$ 11.2 million higher than in 2Q18, due to higher handset sales volume this quarter.

Marketing

Marketing expenses totaled R\$ 73 million in 3Q18, 36.6% less than in 3Q17, as a result of lower investments in Oi Total campaigns, and 25.1% less than in 2Q18, when Oi ran its Mother's Day campaign.

Rent and Insurance

Rent and insurance expenses in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 1,104 million in 3Q18, 2.4% more than in 3Q17, mainly due to higher right-of-way costs and pole rental fees, as well as the contractual increase in tower and equipment rental fees, offset by lower EILD (industrial exploration of dedicated line) costs. In the sequential comparison, these expenses moved up 4.9%, mostly driven by the renegotiation of pole rental agreements and right of way.

Provision for Contingencies

In 3Q18, the provision for contingencies in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 7 million, down from R\$ 121 million in 3Q17 and R\$ 68 million in 2Q18. The lower level of provisions for contingencies reflects the monthly reprocessing of the estimate model based on the new payment history profile of contingencies, due to the new context after approval of the Judicial Reorganization Plan. In addition, the number of new claims especially in the JEC (Small Claims Court), has been increasingly lower due to the improvement of service quality.

Provision for Bad Debt

The provision for bad debt came to R\$ 158 million in 3Q18, 9.0% less than in 3Q17, chiefly due to the effect of IFRS 9, according to table 2 of this document, which came into effect on January 1, 2018 and changed the criterion for provisions for bad debt. In the sequential comparison, the provision for bad debt fell 20.5%, driven by a lower default level among customers in 3Q18, due to the change in the retention and credit analysis policy for new entrants and the improvement of Corporate customers.

In 3Q18, the Company's consolidated Capex, including international operations, totaled R\$ 1,526 million, (+13.4% y.o.y. and +11.6% q.o.q.). In the same period, Capex in Brazilian operations came to R\$ 1,502 million (+12.2% y.o.y. and +10.0% q.o.q.).

This new investment cycle aims to protect the customer base, improve service quality and increase market share by capturing growth opportunities. For this, the Company will focus its investments on fixed and mobile access, increasing the offer of high speed broadband and 4G and 4.5G mobile coverage in the clusters and cities that have been prioritized according to the Company's Capex Plan.

In 3Q18, Oi S.A. recorded a net financial expense of R\$ 1,455 million, versus a net financial expense of R\$ 1,199 million in 2Q18 and net financial income of R\$ 17 million in 3Q17.

The main impact compared to the previous quarter came from "Other Financial Income/Expenses", which went from a gain of R\$ 345 million in 2Q18 to a loss of R\$ 587 million in 3Q18, mainly due to FX expenses on investments abroad, higher expenses related to the restatement of contingencies and interest on other liabilities. Despite the impact of the 3.84% depreciation of the real against the dollar, the "Net FX Result" contributed positively to the increase over 2Q18, due to the lower depreciation of the real in the period.

In 3Q17, Oi recorded financial income driven by the "Net FX Result". It is worth noting that the real appreciated 4.24% against the dollar and 0.85% against the euro in that period, with a positive impact on debt denominated in these currencies. As a result, the "Net FX Result" was a gain of R\$ 857 million in the quarter, contributing to net revenues in the period.

The annual reduction was due to the conclusion of the Company's Judicial Reorganization process, given that the accounting effects of the contractual conditions agreed in the Judicial Reorganization Plan began to apply as of its confirmation, i.e. February 5, 2018.

Compared to 2Q18, in addition to the accrual of interest and amortization of fair value adjustment, the increase was due to negative impact of the 3.84% depreciation of the real against the dollar on debt denominated in foreign currency at fair value. At the end of 3Q18, debt in foreign currency accounted for 54.2% of fair value debt. The debt's consolidated average term was approximately 12 years in 3Q18.

Considering the cash position of R\$ 5,161 million at the end of September, the Company closed 3Q18 with net debt of R\$ 10,976 million, R\$ 955 million, or 9.5%, more than in 2Q18 and R\$ 33,133 million, or 75.1%, less than in 3Q17. As the Company's cash remained virtually in line with the previous quarter, the increase in net debt was mainly driven by the upturn in gross debt in the period. It is worth noting that the Company began paying labor creditors in 3Q18, in line with the Judicial Reorganization Plan, with an outlay of R\$ 70 million in the period.
