IFRS 16 - Leases

3Q19 Earnings Release As of January 1, 2019, the Company began adopting the IFRS 16 standards that came into effect then. The standard sets forth the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires tenants to account for all leases under a single model in the balance sheet.

For comparison purposes, we excluded the effects of this standard in the sections of this document, and we highlight all the effects of the adoption of the IFRS 16 in Tables 17 and 18 at the end of this document.

In 3Q19 consolidated net revenues totaled R\$ 5,001 million, down 8.8% from 3Q18 and 1.8% lower than in the previous quarter. Net revenues from Brazilian operations ("Brazil") came to R\$ 4,955 million in 3Q19 (-8.8% y.o.y. and -1.8% q.o.q.), while net revenues from international operations (Africa and East Timor) totaled R\$ 46 million (-8.5% y.o.y. and +2.3% q.o.q.).

BRAZIL

Net revenues from Brazilian operations stood at R\$ 4,955 million in 3Q19, 8.8% lower than in 3Q18. The three segments (Residential, Personal Mobility and B2B) continued to be impacted by a reduction in voice traffic. On the other hand, growth in data revenues in the Personal Mobility segment, FTTH revenues in the Residential segment and IT revenues in the Corporate segment partially offset this decline.

In the sequential comparison, net revenues fell 1.8%. However, customer base growth in the fiber and postpaid segments has been partially offsetting the decline in copper services (fixed voice and broadband) and prepaid products, consistently slowing down the pace of reduction in total revenues.

Total net service revenues, which exclude revenues from handset sales, stood at R\$ 4,917 million in 3Q19 (- 8.6% y.o.y. and -1.7% q.o.q.). Total net customer revenues, which exclude network usage and handset revenues, came to R\$ 4,823 million (-7.8% y.o.y. and -1.6% q.o.q.).

Net revenues from the Residential segment totaled R\$ 1,803 million in 3Q19 (-13.5% y.o.y. and -3.0% q.o.q.). The fiber expansion plan is the main driver of the reversal of the downward trajectory of Residential revenues.

In the quarter, the Company continued to accelerate investments in fiber in order to deliver high-speed broadband to our customers' homes and provide a better experience, pursuing the strategy designed to increase profitability in the segment. The fiber expansion project (FTTH) has been presenting consistent results. The Company reached 3.6 million homes passed and over 408 thousand homes connected at the end of 3Q19.

Oi ended 3Q19 with 13,532 thousand RGUs in the Residential segment, down 10.8% from 3Q18 and 3.4% from the previous quarter, mainly due to the reduction in the fixed line base, following the natural market trend of reducing voice and the broadband copper usage.

Residential ARPU

Residential ARPU totaled R\$ 79.2 in 3Q19, down 1.2% from 3Q18 and up 0.4% over 2Q19, driven by growth in broadband and pay-TV ARPU in the period.

Fixed Line

The Company closed 3Q19 with 7,480 thousand fixed line customers in the Residential segment (-12.8% y.o.y. and -3.7% q.o.q.). In the fixed line business, we see a continued decline in the demand for voice services, which are increasingly being replaced by mobile services, especially data services. As a result, fixed line ARPU, considering interconnection revenues, fell 12.9% year over year.

The Company is reducing its focus on copper, both voice and broadband, and prioritizing investments to accelerate the fiber project, with greater potential for value generation. With this strategy, is expected a greater pressure on the legacy product revenues.

Broadband

Oi ended 3Q19 with 4,531 thousand fixed broadband RGUs in the Residential segment (-9.7% y.o.y. and -3.0% q.o.q.). A total of 60.6% of fixed voice customers contracted our broadband services, beating the record of the previous quarter, reinforcing the efficiency of bundled sales.

Intense competition from regional players who offer broadband services in small towns outside major urban centers continues to be the main obstacle to broadband growth.

3Q19 Earnings Release Most of the Company's current broadband base is composed of copper accesses (VDSL and ADSL). As mentioned above, the Company is decreasing proactive sales of its copper portfolio and intensifying focused expansion and commercial activity of FTTH. Based on Oi's infrastructure differential, accelerating customer expansion and migration to fiber are the main levers for growth recovery.

Fiber

In 3Q19, the Company continued to accelerate its investments in fiber. At the end of 3Q19, we reached 3.6 million homes passed (HPs), 1,130 thousand of which built in the third quarter. The Company currently has the capacity to build around 400 thousand homes passed per month. In addition, according to the Company's strategic plan, the goal is to reach 4.6 million homes passed by the end of 2019 and 16 million homes passed by the end of 2021.

We closed 3Q19 with over 408 thousand homes connected (HCs) to the fiber and a take-up rate of 11.4%. Oi Fibra was present in 73 municipalities at the end of 3Q19. In October, we reached 4.0 million HPs and over 488 thousand HCs, increasing the take-up rate to 12.3%. Also, with the strategy of accelerating FTTH sales, Oi continuesto sell IPTV via fiber.

The strategy of intensifying resources for Fiber is showing results. In terms of revenues, Fibra achieved an average monthly growth of 20% during 2019, contributing to partially offset the natural fall in copper and pay TV services revenues

The Company's strategic focus is to leverage its indisputable leadership in fiber and infrastructure, maximizing value in all business segments. Oi currently has over 363 thousand kilometers of fiber in the country.

Oi Pay TV

The Residential pay-TV base fell 3.6% from 3Q18 and 3.0% from 2Q19, totaling 1,522 thousand RGUs.

Oi recorded pay-TV net disconnections of 57 thousand RGUs compared with 3Q18 and 47 thousand RGUs compared with 2Q19. Oi TV's penetration in households with an Oi fixed line reached 20.3% in 3Q19 (+1.9 p.p. y.o.y. and +0.2 p.p. q.o.q.). Pay-TV ARPU rose 5.3% from 2Q19.

This result reflects the Company's strategy of concentrating resources in accelerating investments in fiber, as mentioned earlier, including the offering of fiber IPTV services.

Table 4 – Net Revenues and RGUs of the Personal Mobility segment

(1) Excludes handset and network usage revenues.

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

Personal Mobility net revenues totaled R\$ 1,763 million in 3Q19, 1.8% higher than in 2Q19, thanks to growth in the postpaid customer base, driven by simpler and more assertive regionalized offerings and migration from the prepaid customer base, and revenues from these products. In the annual comparison, these revenues declined 2.8%, reflecting lower interconnection tariffs and a reduction in the prepaid segment, in line with previous quarters.

Following the downward market trend, our prepaid customer base lost 498 thousand users between 2Q19 and 3Q19. This decline was due to migration from voice to data, the slow economic recovery, high unemployment rates (which strongly impact this sector) and lower interconnection tariffs. In addition to market factors, the migration process the Company is promoting, as previously mentioned, also contributed to the decline in the number of users, On the other hand, this movement observed in the prepaid segment benefits the postpaid segment, as prepaid customers migrate to more attractive offers. As a result, the postpaid customer base grew by 1,678 thousand users compared with 3Q18 and 499 thousand users compared with 2Q19.

The positive performance of postpaid products was due to the strategy of converting prepaid customers, combined with Oi's new offering portfolio, which is significantly simpler and more aligned with the market trend of migration from voice to data services. The launch of the new portfolio was sustained by continued investments in 4G and 4.5G, which increased the network's traffic capacity, leading to improved usage performance and, consequently, a substantial improvement in the customer experience.

Customer revenues, which exclude interconnection and handset revenues, totaled R\$ 1,667 million in 3Q19, in line with 3Q18 (-0.2%) and 2.1% higher than in 2Q19. Data revenues moved up 11.5% over 3Q18 and 2.3% over 2Q19, closing 3Q19 at R\$ 1,403 million, equivalent to 84.2% of total customer revenues in the quarter.

Meanwhile, network usage revenues totaled R\$ 59 million in 3Q19, falling 38.4% from 3Q18 and increasing 0.4% over 2Q19. The annual comparison was impacted by a decline in MTR tariffs. Handset revenues totaled R\$ 37 million, a decline of R\$ 11 million from 3Q18 and R\$ 4 million from 2Q19.

Oi closed 3Q19 with 34,703 thousand RGUs in Personal Mobility, down 4.8% from 3Q18, a reduction of 1,751 thousand net disconnections, with 3,429 thousand (-1.9%) disconnections in the prepaid segment mitigated by 1,678 thousand (+5.8%) in the postpaid segment. In the sequential comparison, RGUs remained flat.

3Q19 Earnings Release Oi's total mobile customer base (Personal Mobility + B2B) totaled 37,528 thousand RGUs in 3Q19, 2,825 thousand of which in the B2B segment.

Prepaid

The prepaid customer base closed 3Q19 with 25,670 thousand RGUs, down 11.8% from 3Q18. This decline was driven by (i) the policy of disconnection of inactive customers; (ii) the migration of customers from the prepaid to the postpaid segment; and (iii) the market trend of SIM cards consolidation. Recharge volume decreased 5.8% from 3Q18 but increased 1.4% over 2Q19.

The number of customers making recharges fell 1.0% from 2Q19 and 9.8% from 3Q18, mainly due to (i) a decline in the prepaid market as a whole and (ii) high unemployment rates, which have a direct impact on prepaid revenues. The impact on revenues, including long-distance revenues, was a negative 12.7% in the annual comparison and a negative 1.5% in the sequential comparison. Prepaid ARPU fell 1.1% from 3Q18, but rose 1.1% over 2Q19.

Postpaid

Oi closed the quarter with 9,032 thousand RGUs in the postpaid segment (+22.8% y.o.y. and +5.8% q.o.q.), due to more competitive offerings and the strategy of encouraging prepaid customers to migrate to postpaid plans and more competitive offers. Gross adds grew 46.9% over 3Q18 and 0.6% over in 2Q19, resulting in net adds of 1,678 thousand RGUs over 3Q18 and 499 thousand RGUs over 2Q19. Our market share of net adds also picked up pace, reaching 36% until August 2019. This segment already accounts for 26% of the total Personal Mobility base and is expected to grow even further in the coming quarters.

The positive physical results were reflected in revenues (including long-distance revenues), grew 13.8% over 3Q18 and 4.9% over 2Q19. The Regional offerings, simplification, innovation, more aggressive sales, and the refarming of the 1.8 GHz frequency range for 4G and 4.5G were the main drivers enabling the results of the postpaid segment.

2G, 3G, 4G and 4.5G Coverage

Oi's 2G coverage reached 3,453 municipalities (93% of the country's urban population) in the 3Q19. While 3G coverage reached 1,645 municipalities (+0.9% y.o.y.), or 82% of the Brazilian urban population during the same period.

At the end of 3Q19, 4G coverage reached 936 municipalities (+12% y.o.y.), or 75% of Brazil's urban population (+1 p.p. y.o.y.). In addition, 4.5G coverage reached 42 municipalities, around 13% of the urban population.

Mobile ARPU

Mobile ARPU stood at R\$ 16.3 in 3Q19 (+1.2% y.o.y. and +1.6% q.o.q.). Excluding MTR revenues, mobile ARPU increased 3.4% over 3Q18 and 1.6% over 2Q19.

3Q19 Earnings Release Table 5 – Net Revenues and RGUs of the B2B segment

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

Net revenues in the B2B segment amounted to R\$ 1,357 million in 3Q19, 8.0% lower than in 3Q18. This reduction was mainly due to a decline in voice traffic, a market-wide trend, and the cut in the regulated fixed-to-mobile (VC) and interconnection (MTR) tariffs. In the sequential comparison, net revenues fell 4.4%. The slower economic recovery is one of the factors that has been holding back the recovery in the segment, especially in medium enterprises.

The Company closed 3Q19 with 6,702 thousand RGUs, up 2.1% over 3Q18 and down 0.9% from 2Q19. Similarly, to the previous quarter, this result was mainly due to an increase in the mobile base (+15.2% y.o.y. and +0.5% q.o.q.) and the pay-TV base (+18.1% y.o.y. and +8.0% q.o.q.). In 3Q19, the number of RGUs increased by 136 thousand over 3Q18, but decreased by 59 thousand from 2Q19.

The Corporate segment maintains its annual growth track in RGUs. For this segment, the Company adopts a strategy of intensifying the offering of digital and IT solutions, improving the revenue mix and meeting the growing demand for corporate projects. The change in the Company's positioning, acting as an IT solutions integrator, has generated positive results in the product's net revenue, which increased 43.2% compared to 3Q18 and 25.0% in the sequential comparison

In the SME segment, the Company is adopting the Corporate strategy for medium enterprises and the B2C strategy for small enterprises, given their market similarities. Oi continues to market regional offerings and intensify its commercial actions together with the "Network Reuse" approach for FTTH.

In the Wholesale segment, non-regulated revenues accounted for 70% of total revenues, due to our strategy of increasing the share of non-regulated revenues in total revenues from the segment. In 2019, the segment is seeking to expand opportunities by investing in last-mile and on-site fiber, taking advantage of the Company's extensive and non-replicable infrastructure and capturing opportunities related to fiber expansion and network preparation for 5G.

The Company aims to be the main national provider of transmission and transportation network and facilitator of the 5G infrastructure in Brazil, capturing enormous value potential in the wholesale market. Fiber capillarity is also driving the repositioning of the Corporate segment, which will provide integrated telecom and ICT solutions in order to capture an increasing share of revenues in this growing market.

Consolidated routine opex, including international operations, totaled R\$ 4,022 million in 3Q19, in line with the same period of the previous year and an increase of 3.8% over 2Q19.

Routine opex from Brazilian operations amounted to R\$ 3.947 million in 3Q19, a decline of 0,7% from 3Q18 and an increase of 2.8% over 2Q19. Considering inflation (IPCA) of 2.89% in the last 12 months, this result corresponded to a decrease of 3.54% in real terms compared to 3Q18.

As part of its strategic plan, the Company has been acting on 5 macro fronts of cost reduction and operational simplification: (i) Sales, Marketing and Service; (ii) Processes and Organization; (iii) Business Support; (iv) IT; and (v) Network and Field Operations. The actions resulting from the work on these fronts have been implemented throughout this year, and the financial impacts should be more relevant from 2020..

Personnel

Personnel costs and expenses totalized R\$ 605 million, 7.6% reduction as compared to 3Q18 and increased 2.6% over 2Q19, the latter due to provisions for the payment of variable compensation related to the achievement of operational, financial and quality targets in 2019.

Interconnection

Interconnection costs in Brazilian operations amounted to R\$ 109 million in 3Q19 (-25.2% y.o.y. and +5.3% q.o.q.). This decline was due to lower regulated tariffs.

Third-party Services

Despite the intensification of the Company's commercial activity, costs and expenses related to third-party services remained in line with 3Q18 (+0.4%) and 2Q19 (+0.3%), closing 3Q19 at R\$ 1,497 million. Under this

heading are the expenses of Content Acquisition, Customer Relations, Billing, Sales, Electricity and General Expenses.

3Q19 Earnings Release Network Maintenance Services

Network maintenance service costs and expenses in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 251 million in 3Q19 (-12.9% y.o.y. and -2.2% q.o.q.). This decline was due contract renegotiations and lower pay phone expenses, following the approval of the General Plan of Universalization Goals - PGMU, among other factors.

The reduction in network maintenance service costs and expenses was the result of our continuous efforts to increase efficiency in field operations, as well as process and customer service digitalization (Digital CO).

Handset Costs/Other (COGS)

Handset costs in Brazilian operations amounted to R\$ 34 million in 3Q19 (-22.4% y.o.y. and -22.3% q.o.q.), due to lower handset sales.

Marketing

Marketing expenses totaled R\$ 148 million in 3Q19 (+101.7% y.o.y. and +30.2% q.o.q.), driven by sales campaigns, e-care an sponsorships.

Rent and Insurance

Rent and insurance expenses in Brazilian operations totaled R\$ 1,071 million in 3Q19, falling 3.0% from 3Q18 and edging up 1.7% over 3Q19, he increase in sequential comparison is due to higher EILD circuit rental costs. In the annual comparison, the reduction is explained by lower infrastructure rental costs.

Provision for Contingencies

In the quarter, provisions for contingencies in Brazilian operations totaled R \$ 72 million, an increase of 33.0% compared to 2Q19. Compared to 3Q18, an increase of R \$ 65 million. The increase is explained by the higher volume of Anatel lawsuits provisions.

Provision for Bad Debt

The provision for bad debt totaled R\$ 160 million, 1.3% more than in 3Q18. In the sequential comparison, the provision for bad debt moved up 22.3%, higher due to a worsening in delinquency levels.

In 3Q19, Oi S.A. recorded a consolidated net financial expense of R\$ 2,376 million, versus net financial expenses of R\$ 1,374 million in 2Q19 and R\$ 1,455 million in 3Q18.

The sequential increase was mainly due to the recognition of expenses in the "Net FX Result", due to the 8.7% devaluation of the real against the US dollar in the period, versus revenues recorded in 2Q19 as a result of the appreciation of the real against the US dollar. In addition, the "Other Financial Income/Expenses" line recorded higher financial expenses in 3Q19, due to the FX variation of other liabilities and higher monetary restatement of contingencies, which were partially offset by the financial gain from the reversal of the monetary restatement related to the gain from PIS/COFINS credits on ICMS tax. The "Amortization of Fair Value Adjustment" line was also impacted by the devaluation of the real against the US dollar and the euro in the quarter. The "Net Interest" line remained virtually flat.

In the annual comparison, consolidated net financial expenses increased, due to the devaluation of the real against the US dollar in the quarter, which caused higher financial expenses under "Net FX Result". In 3Q18, the real depreciated 3.84% against the US dollar.

Oi S.A. ended 3Q19 with consolidated gross debt of R\$ 17,905 million, an increase of 6.1%, or R\$ 1,037 million, over 2Q19 and 11.0%, or R\$ 1,769 million, over 3Q18. The sequential and annual increases were due to interest accrual and amortization of the present value adjustment, which contributed to increasing debt every quarter, as well as the devaluation of the real against the US dollar in the sequential (8.7%) and the annual (4.0%) comparisons.

At the end of September, foreign-currency represented 52.7% of fair value debt. The debt's consolidated average term remained at 11 years in 3Q19.

The Company closed 3Q19 with a consolidated cash position of R\$ 3,192 million, a decline of R\$ 1,104 million in the period, versus a reduction of around R\$ 1,970 million in the previous quarter. As a result, net debt totaled R\$ 14,713 million in 3Q19. The reduction in the cash position was mainly due to high Capex, in line with the Company's Strategic Plan, and the payment of non-recurring obligations related to the implementation of the Plan, including payment of half-yearly interest on the Qualified Bond.
