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).

EBITDA expanded +7.8% YoY, with a margin of 42.5%, flat when comparing to 4Q23. EBITDA AL expanded by +8.3% YoY, with a margin of 33.1% (+0.2 p.p. YoY).

In 2024, Capex totaled R$9,166 million (+2.3% YoY), equivalent to 16.4% of revenues (-0.8 p.p. YoY), reflecting a decrease in investment intensity. Investments were directed towards strengthening our 5G network, which is already present in 504 cities (+2.9x YoY), covering 61.3% of the Brazilian population, and expanding our fiber operation.

Operating Cash Flow for the year was R$13,714 million (+11.0% YoY), with a margin of 24.6% (+0.8 p.p. YoY) over net revenue.

Net income attributed to Telefônica Brasil reached R$5,548 million in 2024 (+10.3% YoY). The Company delivered on its guidance of shareholder remuneration paid in 2024, distributing R$5,845 million (vs R$4,786 million in 2023), a growth of +22.1% YoY, reflecting a payout over net income of 105.3%. For the years 2025 and 2026, the Company reaffirms its commitment to distribute an amount equal to or greater than 100% of net income for each fiscal year.
