Telefônica Brasil Rises 0.8% After Hours as Profit and Cash Flow Accelerate
Telefônica Brasil (NYSE: VIV) shares rose about 0.8% in after-hours trading after the company reported strong third-quarter earnings growth, margin expansion and higher free cash flow.
Third-quarter net revenue increased 7.2% year over year to R$16.0 billion, supported by 7.4% growth in mobile services, 5.7% growth in FTTH and 4.9% growth in Corporate Data, ICT and Digital Services. Handsets and electronics revenue rose 26.6%.
EBITDA increased 10.0% to R$7.14 billion, while EBITDA margin improved 1.1 percentage points to 44.5%. EBITDA after leases rose 10.8%, with margin expanding to 35.5%.
Net income climbed 30.1% to R$2.46 billion, while EPS increased 31.0% to R$0.77. Operating cash flow rose 17.8% to R$4.57 billion, and free cash flow increased 37.7% to R$2.43 billion.
Subscriber trends were also positive. Total subscribers increased 3.0% to 120.2 million, while the human postpaid base reached 53.4 million after 3.5 million net additions over the last twelve months. FTTH connections rose 10.8% to 8.4 million homes.
Capital spending declined 1.6% to R$2.56 billion, reducing capex intensity to 16.0% of revenue from 17.4% a year earlier.
The 0.8% after-hours gain appears to reflect the combination of double-digit EBITDA growth, strong net income expansion, improving cash generation and continued subscriber growth, alongside a lower capital-intensity profile.
