EBITDA does not represent an accounting item or cash flow for the periods in question, and should not be considered an isolated indicator of operating performance. Besides,  companies can do specific interpretations and, the definition of EBITDA may not be comparable with the calculation of EBITDA by other companies.

Net Revenue increased 23.0% , totaling R$2,369,997  thousand in the 2Q13  compared to R$1,927,273 thousand in the 2Q12, mainly driven by the expansion of the subscriber base.  

 

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes including Social Contribution on net income, depreciation and amortization) totaled R$612,746 thousand in the 2Q13 compared to R$515,863 thousand in the 2Q12, therefore an increase of 18.8%. 

 

The Company recorded in the 2Q13  Net Income of R$41,970 thousand.

On May 31, 2013, the Company announced that Embratel Participações S.A.("Embrapar"), decided to proceed with the merger of  GB Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. (“GB”), a controlled subsidiary of Embrapar and the controlling company of Net Serviços, into the Company, in order to simplify the corporate structure of its investments, leverage synergies and other benefits, and reduce corporate costs.

  

Considering that GB´s assets exclusively consist of its investments in the Company, and the merger of GB into the Company will not result in an increase of the Company´s capital stock. After the merger, the shares of the Company indirectly held by Embrapar and its controlled subsidiary, Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicações S.A. (“Embratel”), through GB will be held directly by Embrapar and Embratel, thereby simplifying the corporate group´s current structure.

 

The merger will be submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

Additionally, Embrapar informed that the merger of GB into NET should not affect the public tender offer for the Company´s shares, currently under registration procedures with the CVM, subject to the provisions of applicable regulations.
