INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT ON QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The shareholders, board of directors and officers

TIM Participações S.A.

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information, contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) of Tim Participações S.A. (“Company”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, comprising the balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with NBC TG 21 – Demonstração Intermediária, and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the fair presentation of this information in conformity with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information Form (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review engagements (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NBC TG 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form (ITR), and presented consistently with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Other matters

Statements of value added

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT ON QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The quarterly information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for IAS 34 purposes. These statements have been subject to review procedures performed in conjunction with the review of quarterly information to conclude that they are reconciled with interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are consistent with the criteria defined in NBC TG 09 “Statement of Added Value”. Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that leads us to believe that these statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in the Technical Pronouncement and is consistent with respect to the individual interim financial information and consolidated taken as whole.

Review of prior year/period corresponding figures

The amounts corresponding to the individual and consolidated statements of income comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows and value added, for the three periods ended March 31, 2019, presented for comparative purposes, were previously reviewed by other independent auditors who issued an unqualified review report on the interim accounting information on May 07, 2019.

Financial Performance (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 and 16)

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

OPERATING REVENUE

Mobile Segment Details (net of taxes and deductions):

Mobile Service Revenues (MSR) reached R$ 3,840 million in 1Q20, growth of 1.2% compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The expansion slowdown reflected mostly a sharper decline in prepaid revenues, following the reduction in the number of rechargers in the segment.

The dynamic of Mobile ARPU (Average Monthly Revenues per User), which grew 4.8% YoY to reach R$ 23.9, reflects the maintenance of the company's successful efforts to monetize its customer base through migrations to higher-value plans.

The segments' ARPU, which excludes other mobile revenues, rose in prepaid by 4.6% YoY (R$ 12.1) and in postpaid (ex-M2M) by 4.3% YoY (R$ 44.5).

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

Breakdown of each mobile segment in the first quarter:

(i) In prepaid we saw a reduction in the number of rechargers, reflecting the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially income restrictions and the shuttering of many physical recharge channels. We noted a reduction of approximately 10% YoY in the number of clients that recharged in 1Q20, an impact mainly from social distancing. The TIM Pré Top offer already accounts for 72% of the segment's base and keeps contributing for a greater resiliency in recharger spending. As a result, Prepaid Revenues fell 4.5% YoY in 1Q20.

(ii) The postpaid segment had a more limited financial impact from COVID-19 in the quarter. The TIM Black Família offer reached ~500k clients, positively contributing to higher-value plans representativeness in the base mix. In addition, the segment recorded a reduction in disconnections, corroborating the return to positive net additions, and resulting in a 2.8% YoY growth in Postpaid revenues in 1Q20 (+3.7% YoY excluding interconnection). The segment's dynamics experienced relevant changes from the third week of March, with the gradual shuttering of virtually all physical sales channels. Amid this context, we witnessed a sharp contraction in gross additions, which were partially compensated for by a reduction in disconnections.

Interconnection Revenues (ITX) maintained a downward trajectory and in 1Q20 posted a 19.7% reduction YoY, reflecting a lower incoming traffic. The incidence of VU-M on Net Service Revenues reached 2.4% in the quarter.

Other Revenues rose 17.0% YoY in 1Q20. This performance remains impacted mainly by revenues generated by network sharing and swap agreements. The increase in network sharing volume is aligned with the company's strategy to expand the fiber transport infrastructure (backbone and backhaul) with greater efficiency in asset allocation (Capex and Opex).

Breakdown of Fixed Segment (net of taxes and deductions):

Fixed Service Revenues totaled R$ 251 million in the quarter, a 9.4% increase from 1Q19. This performance reflects the growth of TIM Live, which in rose 29.1% YoY in 1Q20 and already accounts for approximately 58% of fixed service revenues. By the end of March, TIM Live was present in 26 cities (including 6 capitals) and will further expand its coverage in the coming quarters.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

The remaining services in the fixed segment dropped 9.3% YoY.

Detailing Handsets and Devices (net of taxes and deductions):

In the quarter, Revenues from Products fell 25.5% YoY, mainly due to a decline in the volume of handsets sold (29.4% YoY) reflecting the handset market’s sharp contraction stemming from lower disposable income and a currency devaluation increasing handset prices.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

*Operating Costs normalized by adjustments to the sale-leaseback contract of towers (+R$ 2.6 million in 1Q20 and +R$ 1.5 million in 1Q19).

Operating Costs and Expenses were R$ 2,292 million in 1Q20 (-4.8% YoY). During the quarter, this item was impacted by non-recurring expenses – totaling R$ 2.6 million – related to adjustments to the sale-leaseback contract of towers.

Note: due to the adoption of IFRS 16, Operating Costs and Expenses - mainly those reported within the Network account - are not impacted by rents, sharing or other types of lease agreements with terms exceeding 12 months, as determined by the standard. Therefore, the amounts for long-term contracts related to infrastructure lease (in addition to others less relevant), important for the company’s operations, are reflected in the P&L under Depreciation and Financial Expenses.

Breakdown of Performance of Costs and Expenses:

Personnel rose 4.7% YoY in 1Q20. This performance was influenced mainly by organic elements such as inflation on wages.

Selling and Marketing Expenses fell 10.2% YoY in 1Q20, reflecting the structural trends seen in prior quarters with efficiency gains from initiatives focusing on process digitization, reduction of FISTEL expenses and lower prepaid recharging fees, as well as lower spending on advertising. It is important to note that this line was also impacted during part of 1Q20 by a lower volume of sales and recharging due to the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Network and Interconnection Group fell 4.7% YoY in 1Q20, driven by lower costs in the interconnection subgroup (ITX). The decline in the ITX subgroup is explained by: (i) drop in the mobile termination rate (VU-M) in January and February compared to 2019 and (ii) lower pressure from traffic to other operators. The Network subgroup was impacted by lower costs from infrastructure sharing.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

General and Administrative Expenses (G&A) rose 21.3% YoY in the quarter. This growth is explained mainly by higher spending on IT projects, consultancies and legal and administrative services.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) fell 20.1% YoY in 1Q20, aligned with the sharp decline in Prouct Revenues caused by a lower volume of handsets sold, mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although higher-value products represented bigger share of the sales mix.

In 1Q20, Provisions for Doubtful Accounts (Bad Debt) rose 9.3% YoY. For the fourth consecutive quarter, the pace of growth slowed, remaining the most challenging cost-related line. After posting the first quarterly reduction in 4Q19, the line grew by 0.9% QoQ in 1Q20. The performance is explained by a higher revenue base exposed to delinquencies, due to the 5.3% YoY increase in the postpaid base, in addition to a challenging macroeconomic environment (unemployment, income and indebtedness). Still, the improvement seen in the past two quarters reflects efforts to enhance client acquisition, through more sophisticated credit models and policies, and higher efficiency in collection and recovery.

Other Operating Expenses normalized by non-recurring effects declined 11.9% YoY in 1Q20, explained mainly by a reduction in contingency expenses. The participation of this line in total normalized OPEX was 3.9% in 1Q20 (4.2% in 1Q19).

Subscriber Acquisition Costs (SAC = subsidy + commissioning + advertising expenses) totaled R$ 59.6 per gross addition in 1Q20, down by 5.2% YoY. The steep reduction was due to more efficiency in selling and marketing expenses.

The SAC/ARPU ratio (payback per client) fell YoY, reaching 2.4 months in 1Q20, from 2.8 months in 1Q19.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

FROM EBITDA TO NET INCOME

* EBITDA normalized according to the items in the Costs section (+R$ 2.6 million in 1Q20 and +R$ 1.5 million in 1Q19). Net Income normalized by adjustment to deferred taxes (+R$ 30.3 million in 1Q19).

BITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)

EBITDA exposure to MTR was 0.4% in 1Q20. In this quarter, net MTR (revenue – cost) was positive due to interconnection revenues slightly higher than costs with MTR.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (D&A) / EBIT

In 1Q20, D&A rose 5.6% YoY explained mostly by an increase in the amortization of the 700 MHz license, related to the operational expansion in new cities (offset by lower software amortization), and by a higher volume of leasing contracts following the adoption of IFRS 16.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

Normalized EBIT in 1Q20 rose 15.0% YoY, reflecting EBITDA growth. Normalized EBIT margin ended the quarter at 12.3%, a 1.5 p.p. expansion from 1Q19.

NET FINANCIAL RESULT

Net Financial Result in 1Q20 was negative by R$ 255 million, a R$ 8 million improvement compared to 1Q19. The difference is mainly due to:

(i) Higher financial revenues from monetary correction of the tax credit balance stemming from the right to exclude ICMS from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS contributions (the remaining balance at the end of each period is updated by the Selic rate until its full compensation, thus becoming a recurring element for the subsequent years);

(ii) Lower expense due to a decline in the interest rate and, consequently, lower accrual of interest on debt, and a smaller volume of interest on leasings.

INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

In 1Q20, Income Tax and Social Contribution totaled -R$ 99 million, a R$ 33 million increase compared to 1Q19, mainly due to higher Earnings Before Taxes. On a Normalized basis, the R$ 63 million increase compares to IR/CSLL of R$ 36 million in 1Q19, when the line was impacted extraordinarily by deferred taxes.

In 1Q20, the effective rate stood at -37.9% vs. -35.5% in 1Q19 (-19.1% on a Normalized basis).

NET INCOME

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

CASH FLOW, DEBT AND CAPEX

* EBITDA normalized according to the items in the Costs section (+R$ 2.6 million in 1Q20 and +R$ 1.5 million in 1Q19).

CAPEX

Capex totaled R$ 904 million in 1Q20, growth of 39.1% from 1Q19. The increase was mostly due to a lower level of Capex in 1Q19, which represented only 17% of the total amount invested in 2019. The Capex of 1Q20 remains in accordance to our plan. Investments are still being destined to infrastructure (exceeding 90% of the total), mainly to projects in IT, 4G technology through 700 MHZ, transport network and FTTH expansion (which received approximately 15% of the investments made in 1Q20).

VARIATION IN WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital variation was negative by R$ 1,415 million, a decrease of 2.9% when compared to 1T19. Unlike the first quarter of last year, the negative impact in 1Q20 was caused mainly by a R$ 1,302 million reduction in the Suppliers account (vs. a reduction of 541 million in 1Q19). In 2019, the impact on Working Capital from the payment of acquisitions at the end of 2018 was seen only partially in 1Q19, with the remainder impacting 2Q19. For late 2019 acquisitions, this impact was mainly seen in 1Q20.

In 1Q20, the FISTEL payment (about R$ 789 million) – usually due in March – was postponed to August 31^st (with the possibility make the full payment on this date or to pay it in five instances beginning on this date). However, it is important to highlight that the share of FISTEL related to Condecine (approximately R$ 227 million) was paid in March 31^st (original due date) due to lack of legal support warranting the non-payment. The injunction postponing this payment to August was released by the end of the same day e the amount was fully refunded on April 2^nd. In summary, this payment negatively impacted 1Q20 Cash Flow (with benefit in this quarter thus totaling approximately R$ 562 million, relative to TFF and CFRP). On the other hand, its refund will bring a positive effect to Cash Flow of 2T20.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

DEBT AND CASH

Gross Debt in 1Q20 was R$ 10,156 million, up R$ 1,012 million YoY. The current balance includes (i) leasing recognition in the total amount of R$ 8,013 million (related to the sale of towers, the LT Amazonas project and leasing contracts with terms exceeding 12 months, pursuant to IFRS 16) and (ii) hedge position in the amount of R$ 318 million (reducing gross debt). Excluding the leasing contracts related to the adoption of IFRS 16, gross debt would be R$ 3,571 million. At the end of march, TIM’s financing debt (post hedge) was R$ 2,143 million.

TIM’s financing debt consists mainly of Debentures and financing with private banks. Approximately 38% of the total financing debt is denominated in foreign currency (USD and EUR) and is fully hedged to local currency. The average cost of debt excluding leasing was 4.5% p.y. in the quarter, down compared to 7.6% p.y. in 1Q19.

In 1Q20, TIM borrowed R$ 800 million to strengthen its cash position after repaying the outstanding balance with BNDES (~R$ 620 million). In April, the company's Board of Directors approved a R$ 1,000 million debt financing to enhance liquidity ahead of possible impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic may cause on the economy. Of that figure, TIM raised R$ 574 million from Scotiabank in April and is now monitoring alternatives regarding the remainder. At the end of March, TIM had R$ 2,252 million worth of credit lines available for drawdown at BNDES and BNB.

The debt repayment schedule is presented below:

At the end of the quarter, Cash and Securities totaled R$ 1,630 million, a reduction of R$ 38 million YoY.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

The average financial yield was stable at 3.9% p.y. in 1Q20, down compared to 6.5% p.y. in 1Q19, following the reduction of the Selic base rate.

In 1Q20, Net Debt totaled R$ 8,526 million, up by R$ 1,050 million compared to the same period a year earlier, when net debt was R$ 7,477 million. The increase is explained by a higher leasing volume due to more rentals and infrastructure sharing contracts being classified as financial leases under IFRS 16.

Net Debt to EBITDA stood at 1.03x in the quarter. Excluding financial leasing from the adoption of IFRS 16, Net Debt to EBITDA was 0.28x in the quarter, down compared to 0.35x in 1Q19.

QUARTERLY EVENTS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

TIM REINFORCES COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS AND SOCIETY IN FIGHTCOVID-19

The services will remain in full operation and the company is focused on customer demands and access to information, in addition to taking all measures to preserve the health and safety of its employees and prioritize collaboration with government agencies and other entities. These are TIM's commitments in fighting the transmission of the new coronavirus, described in a letter sent to Anatel on April 3^rd.

TIM is aware that technology has an essential role to face the crisis and contain the spread of the virus.

The TIM Group's experience in Italy has been important in anticipating and adapting the necessary actions and meeting the requirements during the period of coronavirus fight in Brazil. TIM is confident that the whole of society will be united and will emerge even stronger from this situation.

CADE AND ANATEL APPROVAL FOR TIM-VIVO NETWORK SHARING AGREEMENT

On April 23^rd, the general office of the CADE Antitrust council approved - without restrictions - the agreement signed between TIM and Vivo to share 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Later, on April 30^th, Anatel also unanimously approved the agreement. TIM expects, initially, to consolidate the 2G network in 50 cities.

TIM CHOSES GOOGLE CLOUD AS STRATEGIC PARTNER TO PROVIDE CLOUD BIG DATA, ANALYTS AND MACHINE LEARNING PLATFORM

TIM Brasil concluded an agreement with Google Cloud to use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as its strategic platform of cloud for Big Data, Analytics and Machine Learning. The Google Cloud platform allows the company to make analysis in real-time to achieve exclusive insights about its business. This information will help the operator to enhance even further its services to clients, the planning and optimization of the network and to provide custom offers to users, as well as product based on data and analytics. Google Cloud will be responsible for providing Google Cloud Platform and also consultancy involving the migration from current environment, redesign and optimization on cloud, as well as the support in constructing TIM’s CoE (Center of Excellence), which will be responsible to manage the environment once it is complete.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

Operating and Marketing Performance

MOBILE SEGMENT:

GENERAL MARKET

The mobile market fell 0.8% YoY in 1Q20, a record low level of reduction in 20 quarters. Prepaid led the contraction, as the SIM card consolidation continued. In the past 12 months, the segment experienced net disconnections of 12.6 million users. Postpaid retained its pace of expansion with net additions of 10.8 million users. Human lines (ex-M2M) still accounted for approximately half of this performance.

TIM

TIM ended 1Q20 with 52.8 million users, ending the period at -4.1% YoY.

The postpaid base totaled 21.7 million lines. The addition of 1.1 million lines in the past 12 months led to 5.3% growth YoY in the number of users. The segment keeps expanding within the total base, setting a new record of 41.0% (+3.7 p.p. YoY). New activations remained as the main lever of growth in the quarter, however at low levels - similar to those observed three years ago - due to the shuttering of sales channels during March 2020. On the other hand, voluntary churn fell 3.9% compared to the prior quarter. TIM Black Família remains an important driver of value, reaching a milestone of ~500k users in the quarter. Since the end of March 2020, TIM has been adopting adjustment measures to the segment amid the pandemic, in order to help clients to keep their lines with special payment conditions.

The prepaid base totaled 31.2 million users, down 9.7% YoY. In the past 12 months, the segment presented 3.4 million net disconnections. During the quarter, total net disconnections hit 1.8 million. With the dynamic for new users affected, churn had a greater impact on net growth for the segment as the metric is determined by business rules that are still in place during social distancing. The uncertain macroeconomic environment could add another challenge to prepaid acquisitions. We implemented a few temporary bonuses, seeking to retain clients and avoid increased marketing costs in the future aimed at acquiring clients.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

The 4G base ended 1Q20 with 38.6 million users, again presenting fast growth (8.3% YoY). Total handsets featuring this technology reached 79% of voice users (+11.1 p.p. YoY). YoY).

The M2M base ended the quarter with 3.8 million users (+60% YoY). The strong result in the year is still an outcome of the incorporation of the M2M user base of Porto Seguro Conecta in 2Q19.

FIXED SEGMENT:

TIM Live ended 1Q20 with 584k users (+20.2% YoY). Users starting at 100 mbps reached 36% of the total, a 20 p.p. increase YoY.

Net additions to FTTH (Fiber To The Home) remained responsible for the good performance of the business, and kept an YoY acceleration with 28k new users in the quarter and 124k in the past 12 months. It is important to note that the commercial dynamic initially saw a deceleration, as social distancing took effect. As the operation had to be adapted, our main sales channel, dubbed door-to-door, made way to digital and the impact was accommodated, allowing the resumption of growth for this service.

In 1Q20 we launched in a new city, Betim (Minas Gerais state), furthering the expansion into the segment's potential market. TIM Live coverage ended the period present in 24 cities with FTTH.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

Quality and Network

QUALITY AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

With the social distancing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, at the end of March, 100% of TIM's brick-and-mortar stores were closed. This led to an even higher need for digital sales channels. In this quarter, sales in postpaid and consumer control rose 4.6% YoY. Also, digital recharges keep increasing their penetration in total sales, up +3.6 p.p. YoY in 1Q20.

The app Meu TIM again proved to be a highly relevant platform in customer relationship, streamlining customer service and promoting adequate functions to help clients manage their plans. The app's total unique users grew 18.9% YoY. Even with added relationship difficulties, human interactions declined 24.9% YoY, corroborating our caring strategy and cutting dependence on call centers.

Additional important factors are the digital means for billing and payment, which maintained growth during 1Q20. The invoices delivered via digital channels rose 12.3% YoY. Meanwhile, the number of users paying via digital channels also expanded by +11.7% YoY. Another important function offered to customers is the possibility to add credit and/or to check one's balance, in addition to receiving invoices through WhatsApp.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

In the latest Satisfaction and Perceived Quality Survey released by Anatel in 2020, TIM maintained a superior perception in terms of general satisfaction for broadband and fixed services, compared to the average in Brazil.

NETWORK DEVELOPMENT

As a fundamental pillar within TIM's strategic plans, the expansion and enhancement of network infrastructure is associated with the continuous improvement of service quality. At the beginning of the year, TIM took another important step in this process. Even with the challenges concerning the fight against the novel coronavirus, the company maintained its investments in network expansion and completed the 4G coverage in all 399 municipalities in the state of Paraná, all 295 municipalities in the state of Santa Catarina and all 78 municipalities in the state of Espírito Santo, becoming the third, fourth and fifth states with 100% of their municipalities covered by the technology.¹

Capex dedicated to infrastructure projects (Network + IT) topped 90% in 1Q20, again underpinned by analytical tools that allowed an efficient resource allocation. Highlighted projects:

o Expansion of the fiber optic network (backbone, backhaul and FTTH);

o Frequency refarming;

o Densification of sites;

o Aggregation of carriers;

o Agreements in sharing and transport network.

Regarding the main actions and projects underway for modernization, efficiency and/or enhancement of our infrastructure during this quarter, we highlight:

o Expansion of refarming of 2.1 GHz frequency in 4G, reaching approximately 304 cities;

1 São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Santa Catarina and Paraná are the states with 4G coverage from TIM for 100% of their municipalities.

2020 First Quarter Results (Including the effects of IFRS 9, 15 e 16)

o Installation of multiple data centers to enhance experience (25 at the end of 1Q), of which are 14 DCC (Data Center Core) and 11 are DCE (Data Center Edge);

o Infrastructure virtualization project;

o Expansion of VoLTE, available in more than 3,450 cities;

o Expansion of network capacity through the solution Massive MIMO;

o Approval of the Network Sharing Agreement with Vivo: 50 cities with shared 2G as an initial effort;

o Consolidation of NB-IoT network, present in more than 3,322 municipalities, enabling the creation of IoT solutions not only in big cities, but in distant municipalities.

As the leader in 4G coverage in Brazil, TIM reached 3,506 cities (94% of the country's urban population) in the first quarter of 2020. The 37% growth YoY in network elements for this technology adds to our focus to increase capacity and quality of the mobile network. As a result, 4G data traffic accounted for approximately 87% of the total, up 8 p.p. compared to 1Q19.

Fixed broadband coverage is also enjoying constant expansion, having reached in the first quarter of this year 2.5 million homes in FTTH, while FTTC surpassed 3.6 million. This represents a total of 5.6 million homes in 26 cities (FTTH + FTTC)². In 1Q20, FTTH initiated commercial activities in a new city: Betim (Minas Gerais state).

In transport infrastructure, TIM reached a total of 21,652 sites in the quarter and 84% of said units are connected via high capacity backhaul. The company exceeded 102,000km with its fiber optic for backbone and backhaul (representing an 11.2% advance YoY).

Lastly, by reaching a total of 1,582 active Biosites at the end of 1Q20, TIM again proves that it keeps targeting the development of this infrastructure, which is aligned with its corporate social responsibility values, in addition to being a solution for the densification of the mobile access network (antennas/towers) with a very low visual impact. In addition, Biosites also have a lower cost, are installed quickly and contribute to the harmonization with the environment and urban infrastructure – a multi-functionality beyond the transmission of telecommunications, lighting and security cameras.

2. Basis for preparation and disclosure of the quarterly information

The individual and consolidated quarterly information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which include the rulings issued by the CVM and the pronouncements, guidance and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and provide all material information required for such quarterly information, and only such information, which is consistent with the information used by Management in the course of its duties. In addition, the Company has taken into account the guidance provided in Technical Guidance OCPC 07 in the preparation of its quarterly information. Thus, the relevant information in the quarterly information is being evidenced and corresponds to that used by the Management in its management.

The significant accounting policies applied to the preparation of this quarterly information are described below and/or presented in the respective notes. These policies were consistently applied to the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.

a. General preparation and disclosure criteria

The quarterly information were prepared taking into account the historical cost as the base value as well as financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) measured at fair value.

The individual and consolidated quarterly information were prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Due to the fact that accounting practices adopted in Brazil applied in the individual quarterly information, as from 2014, do not differ from the IFRS applicable to the separate quarterly information, since this standard now allows the application of the equity method in subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures in the separate statements, they also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These individual statements are disclosed together with the consolidated quarterly information.

Assets and liabilities are reported according to their degree of liquidity and collectability. They are reported as current when they are likely to be realized or settled over the next 12 months. Otherwise, they are recorded as non-current. The exception to this procedure involves deferred income tax and social contribution balances (assets and liabilities) and contingent liabilities that are fully classified as long-term.

The presentation of the individual and consolidated Statement of Value Added (Demonstração do Valor Adicionado – “DVA”) is required by the Brazilian Corporate Legislation and accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to listed companies. The DVA was prepared according to the criteria set forth in CPC Technical Pronouncement No. 09 - “Statement of Value Added”. IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement. As a consequence, according to the IFRS, this statement is presented as supplementary information, without affecting the quarterly information.

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

Interests paid are classified as financing cash flow in the statement of cash flows as it represents costs of obtaining financial resources.

b. Functional currency and presentation currency

The presentation currency for the quarterly information is the Real (R$), which is also the functional currency for the company consolidated in these quarterly information.

Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary items in foreign currency are converted into Reais at the exchange rate on the date of the balance sheet published by the Central Bank of Brazil. Exchange gains and losses linked to these items are recorded in the statement of income.

c. Segment information

Operating segments are the components of the entity that develop business activities from which revenue can be obtained and in relation to which expenses are incurred. Their operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions on the allocation of resources and to assess the performance of each segment. For a segment to exist, it must have separate financial information available.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, responsible for allocating resources and for periodic performance evaluation, is the Executive Board. The Executive Board and the Board of Directors are jointly responsible for making strategic decisions and for managing the Group.

The Group’s strategy is to optimize the consolidated results of TIM Participações. This strategy includes optimizing the operations of each Group company, in addition to taking advantage of the synergies generated between them. Notwithstanding the various business activities, the decision makers see the Group as a single business segment and do not take into account specific strategies intended for a particular line of service. All decisions on strategic, financial, purchasing, investment and fund investment planning are made on a consolidated basis. The aim is to maximize the consolidated result obtained by exploring the SMP, STFC and SCM licenses.

d. Consolidation procedures

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group holds control. The Group controls an entity when it is liable or has rights to variable returns on the basis of its involvement with the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The consolidation is discontinued from the date that the Group loses control over that entity.

The purchase accounting method is used to record the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The acquisition cost is measured as the fair value of the acquired assets, equity instruments (e.g. shares) issued and liabilities incurred or assumed by the acquirer at the date when control is exchanged. Identifiable assets acquired, contingencies and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at their fair value as at the acquisition date, irrespective of the proportion of any minority interest. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income as revenue, after a review of the concepts and calculations applied.

Transactions between Group companies, as well as balances, unrealized gains and losses related to these transactions, are eliminated. The accounting policies of the subsidiary were adjusted to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by TIM Participações. The dates of the quarterly information used in the consolidation are the same for all Group companies.

e. Approval of the quarterly information

These quarterly information were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 05, 2020.

f. New standards, amendments and interpretations of standards

The following new standards were issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and by International Standards Board (IASB) but are not in force for the period ended December 31, 2019.

· CPC 11 – Insurance contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts, a standard not yet issued by CPC in Brazil but which will be codified as CPC 50 – Insurance Contracts and will replace CPC 11 – Insurance Contracts. The general purpose of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is most useful and consistent for insurers.

· Changes to CPC 15 (R1): Definition of business

In October 2018, the IASB issued changes to the business definition in IFRS 3, these changes being made in CPC revision 14 amending CPC 15 (R1) to help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets consists of or not in a business. They clarify the minimum requirements for a company, eliminate the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, include guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, better delimit business and product definitions, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. New illustrative cases have been provided along with the changes.

As the changes apply prospectively to transactions or other events that occur on or after the first application, the Company will not be affected by these changes on the transition date.

· Amendments to CPC 26 (R1) and IAS 8: Definition of material omission

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, these amendments being reflected in Revision 14 of the CPC, amending CPC 26 (R1) and CPC 23 to align the definition of 'material misstatement' or 'material misstatement' across the standards and clarify certain aspects of the definition. The new definition states that: "the information is material if its omission, misstatement or obscureness could reasonably influence decisions that major users of general purpose quarterly information make on the basis of those quarterly information, which provide financial information about entity-specific reporting.

These changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's individual and consolidated quarterly information.

COVID Impacts - 19

In December 2019, an outbreak of a contagious disease, Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), began in mainland China and, since the beginning of 2020, the virus has spread to Europe, the United States and several other countries, including Brazil.

The COVID-19 outbreak developed rapidly in 2020 and the measures taken to contain the virus affected economic activity, which in turn may have implications for the Company’s operating results and cash flows. Although COVID-19 already existed on December 31, 2019, the severity of the virus and responses to the outbreak may have an impact on the entity’s operations that took place in Brazil after March 16, 2020.

The Company’s management is not aware of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubts on the entity’s ability to continue as an ongoing company. The Company has a robust infrastructure and is part of an extremely important segment in this period of crisis, essential for the population, the government and the health system. There is no indication of impairment of assets or risks associated with compliance with obligations, since the Company is not highly leveraged and still has lines of credit available to be used in the event of a significant reduction in the volume of cash.

The Company is complying with the health and safety protocols established by the authorities and agencies, it is monitoring the evolution of the situation and closely assessing the impact of COVID-19 on its business.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on general commercial activity and the global economy can reduce our customers’ demand for more expensive plans or services (for example, roaming ) or even lead to plan cancellations or increased delinquency, while they can lead to disruptions in our logistics chain, in the production or delivery of our suppliers or in our ability to deliver our products (such as new devices or SIM cards) or to meet our network in a timely manner, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. At the moment, we have not suffered any material impact on our operations. Although it is too early to predict the impacts on our business or our financial targets on the expanding pandemic and government responses to them, we would be materially adversely affected by a prolonged slowdown in local, regional or global economic conditions.

3 Estimates and areas where judgment is significant in the application of the Company’s accounting policies

Accounting estimates and judgments are continuously reassessed. They are based on the Company´s historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events, considering the circumstances as at the date of the quarterly information.

By definition, the accounting estimates resulting from such assumptions rarely equal the actual outcome. The estimates and assumptions that present a significant risk of causing relevant adjustments in the book values of assets and liabilities in subsequent periods are shown below:

(a) Impairment losses on non-financial assets

Losses due to impairment take place when the book value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its respective recoverable value, which is considered as the fair value less costs to sell and/or the value in use, whichever is greater. The calculation of the fair value less costs to sell is based on information available from sales transactions involving similar assets or market prices, less additional costs that would be incurred to dispose of those assets. The value in use is based on the discounted cash flow model.

Any reorganization activities to which the Company has not yet committed itself on the quarterly information disclosure date, or any material future investments aimed at improving the asset base of the cash generating unit being tested, are excluded for the purpose of impairment testing.

The main non-financial assets valued this way were goodwill based on the future profitability recorded by the Company (Note 15) and its tangible assets.

(b) Income tax and social contribution (current and deferred)

Income tax and social contribution (current and deferred) are calculated in accordance with interpretations of the legislation currently in force and CPC 32 / IAS 12. This process normally includes complex estimates to define the taxable income and temporary differences. In particular, deferred tax assets on income tax and social contribution losses and temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available and can be offset. The measurement of the recoverability of deferred income tax and social contribution losses carry-forward and of temporary differences takes into account the history of taxable income, as well as estimates of future taxable income (Note 10).

(c) Provision for legal and administrative proceedings

Legal and administrative proceedings are analyzed by the Company’s Management and internal and external legal advisors. The Company’s review takes into account factors such as the hierarchy of laws, case law available, recent court decisions, their relevance to the legal order, as well as payment history. Such reviews involve Management’s judgment (Note 24).

(d) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

Financial instruments presented at fair value in the balance sheet are measured using evaluation techniques that take into account observable data or observable data derived from the market (Note 36).

(e) Unbilled revenue

Considering that some billing cut-off dates occur on intermediate dates within the months, at the end of each month there will be revenue already earned by the Company but not effectively billed to the customers. This unbilled revenue is recorded based on estimates which take into account data on usage, the number of days since the last billing date, among other factors (Note 27).

(f) Leasing

The Company has a significant number of lease agreements in which it is the lessee, whereby with the adoption of accounting standard IFRS 16/CPC 06(R2) – Leasing, as disclosed in Note 2.f., the Company’s Management made certain judgments when measuring the lease liability and the right-of-use assets, such as: (i) an estimation of the lease term, considering a non-cancelable period and the periods covered by options to extend the lease term, where such exercise depends only on the Company and is reasonably certain; (ii) use of certain assumptions to calculate the discount rate.

The Company is not able to readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease and therefore considers its incremental rate on loans to measure lease liabilities. The incremental rate is the interest rate that the Company would have to pay when borrowing, for a similar term and with similar collateral, the resources necessary to obtain the asset with similar value to the asset with similar right of use in a similar economic environment. Therefore, this assessment requires management to consider estimates when no observable rates are available. Or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of a lease. The Company estimates the incremental rate using observable data (such as market interest rates) when available and considers in this estimate aspects that are specific to the Company (such as the cost of the subsidiary's debt). The Company´s average incremental rate is 10.28% for an average lease term as described in note 14.

6 Trade accounts receivable

These are financial assets measured at amortized cost, and refer to accounts receivable from users of telecommunications services, from network use (interconnection) and from sales of handsets and accessories. Accounts receivable are recorded at the price charged at the time of the transaction. The balances of accounts receivable also include services provided and not billed (“unbilled”) up to the balance sheet date. Accounts receivable from clients are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less the provision for expected credit losses ("impairment").

The provision for expected credit losses was recognized as a reduction in accounts receivable based on the profile of the subscriber portfolio, the aging of overdue accounts receivable, the economic situation, the risks involved in each case and the collection curve, at an amount deemed sufficient by Management, as adjusted to reflect current and prospective information on macroeconomic factors that affect the customers’ ability to settle the receivables.

The fair value of trade accounts receivable is equal to the book value recorded on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The non-current portion includes the amount of R $ 34,320 (R $ 68,639 as of December 31, 2019) referring to accounts receivable with other telephone operators, recorded at their present value considering the term and interest rate implicit in the operation.

i) The amounts corresponding to income and social contribution taxes are substantially related to: (a) advances made over the period during which the use will take place at the closing of the current year and any balances in the next year; and (b) other income and social contribution tax credits from previous years whose current estimated period of use will be more than 12 months later.

(ii) The PIS/COFINS amounts recoverable mainly refer to credits from a legal proceedings filed by TIM Celular S.A. (ultimately merged into TIM S.A., as well as TIM S.A. itself, with a favorable final decision in Higher Courts which discussed the exclusion of the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax bases. According to the Company's internal evaluation, we expect to use such credits within the statute of limitations of up to 5 years.

In March 2017, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) recognized the unconstitutionality of including ICMS amounts in the calculation base of PIS and COFINS contributions. TIM S.A. (previously named “Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda.”), as the surviving company from the merger of TIM Celular S.A. and other entities existing in the Group in the past, which had filed proceedings of the same nature), has been challenging this issue in court since 2006, with effects retroactive to five years, as permitted by the legislation.

In June 2019, by reason of a final and without appeal decision and calculation of values, the amount of R$2,875 million was recorded, being R$1,720 million of which corresponds to the principal, and R$1,155 million to monetary adjustments (amounts relating to TIM Celular S.A., which merged into TIM S.A. in October 2018).

In September 2019, because a final, non-appealable judgment was entered and amounts were awarded, the amount of R$148 million was recorded, of which R$75 million corresponds to the principal, and R$73 million to monetary adjustments, and such amounts being related to TIM S.A. itself (when it still did business under the name Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda.).

The amount recorded are updated monthly at the interest rate equivalent to the reference rate of the Special Settlement and Custody System (Selic), available on the website of the Brazilian Federal Revenue.

In March 2020, after using part of TIM SA’s credit stock, totaling R $ 206 million, the amounts of R $ 2,737 million are recorded, of which R $ 1,621 million is principal and R $ 1,116 million monetary restatement (amounts related to TIM Celular SA); and R $ 149 million, of which R $ 75 million of principal and R $ 74 million of monetary restatement (former Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda.).

10. Deferred income tax and social contribution

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized on: (1) accumulated income tax carried forward losses and negative basis of social contribution, and (2) temporary differences arising from differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the quarterly information. Deferred income tax is determined using the tax rates (and tax laws) enacted, or substantially enacted, up to the balance sheet date. Subsequent changes in tax rates or tax legislation may modify the deferred tax credit and debit balances.

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

Deferred tax assets on income tax and social contribution are recognized only in the event of a profitable track record and/or when the annual forecasts prepared by the Company, examined by the Supervisory Board and Statutory Audit Committee and approved by other Management bodies, indicate the likelihood of the future realization of those tax balances.

The balances of deferred income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities are shown in the balance sheet at their net amounts, when there is both a legal right and an intention to offset them at the time when the current taxes are ascertained, usually in relation to the same legal entity and the same taxation authority. Thus, deferred tax assets and liabilities belonging to different entities are in general shown separately, not at their net amounts.

As at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the prevailing tax rates were 25% for income tax and 9% for social contribution. In addition, there is no statute of limitation in regard to the income tax and social contribution carried forward losses, which it can be offset by up to 30% of the taxable profit reached at each period, according to the current tax legislation.

The amounts recorded are as follows:

TIM S.A.

As previously communicated to the market, TIM Celular S.A. merged into TIM S.A. (previously named “Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda.”) on October 31, 2018 with the main objective of reducing the operating costs of the companies involved, creating synergies and enabling the achievement of the corporate purposes of the two companies. Thus, after the merger, tax credits may also arise from tax losses and negative social contribution base on the income of TIM S.A., considering that the latter, based on the consolidated results of TIM Celular after the said merger, estimates that the taxable income will be sufficient to use the said deferred credits.

On September 30, 2018 the Company recorded total deferred tax assets of R$952,368 arising from amounts that may be used as tax losses (R$702,619) and the negative base of social contribution on income (R$249,749), since all of the factors required for the merger were controlled by Management, such as: (i) the feasibility studies regarding the use of tax benefits was completed and approved by the Company’s governance bodies, as provided for in CVM 371/02; (ii) definition of the actual corporate restructuring schedule upon the merger; (iii) obtaining of approvals and/or consent of third parties (ANATEL and BNDES) by the Company, among other factors.

As a result of the final and unappealable decision in Courts Superior to TIM Celular SA (merged by TIM SA) in a proceeding that discussed the exclusion of ICMS from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS contributions, there was accounting recognition in June. of the tax credit subject of the discussion in 2019 in the amount of R $ 2,875 million (R $ 2,737 million on March 31, 2020), consisting of principal and monetary restatement.

In September 2019, due to its final and unappealable decision, the amount of R $ 148 million (R $ 149 million on March 31, 2020) was recorded, amounts related to TIM SA itself

For the purposes of IRPJ and CSLL taxation, the Company’s management, also supported by external legal opinions, decided to defer it until the moment of the effective financial availability of the credit. Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities were recorded for the full amount, in the amount of R $ 1,039.7 million. The updated amount as of March 31, 2020 is R$ 1,030,100.

2022	310,948
Tax losses and negative base	815,524

Temporary differences	(961,965)

Total	(146,441)

The subsidiary has set up deferred income and social contribution tax credits on its total tax losses, negative basis of social contribution and temporary differences, based on the history of profitability and projected future taxable earnings.

The subsidiary used credits from tax losses and a negative social contribution base in the amount of R $ 20,215 during the period ended March 31, 2020 (R $ 91,731 on December 31, 2019).

Unrecognized deferred tax assets

Considering that TIM Participações SA does not have activities that can generate taxable income tax and social contribution bases, deferred tax credits on tax losses, negative social contribution bases and temporary differences were not recognized, totaling R $ 129,625 on March 31, 2020 (R $ 125,876 on December 31, 2019).

14 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition and/or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (the latter only if applicable). Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over terms that take into account the expected useful lives of the assets and their residual values. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has no indication of impairment in its fixed assets.

The estimated costs of dismantling towers and equipment on rented properties are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of these assets. The Company recognizes the present value of these costs in property, plant and equipment with a counter-entry to the liability “provision for future asset retirement”. Interest incurred on updating the provision is classified within financial expenses.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the amounts of these disposals with the carrying values at the time of the transaction and are recognized in “other operating expenses (revenue), net” in the statement of income.

In 2019, in accordance with IAS 16 / CPC 27, approved by CVM Resolution, the Company and its subsidiaries carried out assessments of the useful life applied to their fixed assets and concluded that there was no significant change or change in the circumstances in which the estimates were based in order to justify changes in the useful life currently used.

15. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are measured at historical cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses (if applicable) and reflect: (i) the purchase of authorizations and rights to use radio frequency bands, and (ii) software in use and/or development. Intangibles also include: (i) the purchase of the right to use the infrastructure of other companies, and (ii) goodwill on expectation of future profits in purchases of companies.

Amortization charges are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets contracted and over the terms of the authorizations. The useful life estimates of intangible assets are reviewed regularly.

Any financial charges on funds raised (that is, without a specific destination) and used to obtain a qualifying asset, meaning an asset that requires a significant time to be ready for use, are capitalized as a portion of the cost of the asset when it is likely to bring future economic benefits to the entity and such costs can be accurately measured. These costs are amortized throughout the estimated useful lives of the assets. As at March 31, 2020 and December 2019, the Company has no indication of impairment in its intangible assets of defined and indefinite useful life.

The amounts of the SMP authorizations and rights to use radio frequencies, as well as software, goodwill and other items, were recorded as follows:

(d) Goodwill from previous years

The Company and its subsidiary have the following goodwill based on expectations of future profitability as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Goodwill on acquisition of TIM S.A. - The goodwill arising from the acquisition of TIM S.A. (formerly Intelig) in December 2009 in the amount of R$210,015 is based on the subsidiary’s expected profitability. The recoverability of goodwill is tested annually through impairment testing.

Goodwill from TIM Fiber SP and TIM Fiber RJ acquisitions - At the end of 2011, the subsidiary acquired Eletropaulo Telecomunicações Ltda. (which subsequently had its trade name changed to TIM Fiber SP Ltda. – “TIM Fiber SP”) and AES Communications Rio de Janeiro S.A. (which subsequently had its trade name changed to TIM Fiber RJ S.A. – “TIM Fiber RJ”). These companies were SCM providers in the main municipalities of the Greater São Paulo and Greater Rio de Janeiro areas, respectively.

TIM Fiber SP Ltda. and TIM Fiber RJ. S.A. were merged into the subsidiary TIM S.A. on August 29, 2012.

The subsidiary recorded the goodwill allocation related to the purchase of the companies TIM Fiber SP and TIM Fiber RJ, at the end of the purchase price allocation process, in the amount of R$1,159,648.

Goodwill from the acquisition of minority interests in TIM Sul and TIM Nordeste - In 2005, the Company acquired all the shares of the minority shareholders of TIM Sul and TIM Nordeste, in exchange for shares issued by TIM Participações, converting these companies into full subsidiaries. The goodwill resulting from this transaction amounted to R$157,556.

Impairment test

As required by the accounting standards, the Company tests goodwill on business combinations involving TIM Group companies annually for impairment, and the methods and assumptions used by Management in the impairment testing of goodwill mentioned above are summarized below:

The Company’s Management understands that the smaller cash generating units, for the purposes of testing the impairment of goodwill on the purchase of the aforementioned companies, refer to the business at a consolidated level, and therefore should be assessed at the level of TIM Participações. This methodology is aligned with the strategic direction of the Company and its subsidiary.

In 2019 the impairment test was performed comparing the carrying amount with the fair value less the costs of disposal of the asset, as provided in IAS 36 / CPC 01.

The fair value calculation considered the hierarchy level within which the fair value measurement of the asset (cash generating unit) is classified. For TIM Participações as there is only one CGU this was classified in its entirety as Level 1, for the disposal costs we consider that it is irrelevant considering the variation between the fair value level 1 and the carrying amount of the cash generating unit.

TIM PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND

TIM PARTICIPAÇÕES AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION - continued

As at March 31

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

The fair value of Level 1 instruments comprises instruments traded in active markets and based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is viewed as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, distributor, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on a purely commercial basis.

In the case of TIM Participações, its securities are traded on BOVESPA with a code (TIMP3) and have a regular trading volume that allows the measurement (Level 1) as the product between the quoted price for the individual asset or liability and the quantity held by the entity.

The measurement was made based on the share value on the balance sheet date and sensitivity tests were also performed and in none of the scenarios was identified any indication of impairment, with the fair value being higher than the carrying amount. Therefore, as the fair value is higher than the carrying amount, it is not necessary to calculate the value in use.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment and therefore, there is no need to review the impairment in the period.

(e) Infrastructure use rights - LT Amazonas

The subsidiary signed agreements for the right to use the infrastructure of companies that operate electric power transmission lines in Northern Brazil. Such agreements fell within the scope of IFRIC 4 / ICPC 3 and are classified as financial leases.

Additionally, the subsidiary entered into network infrastructure sharing contracts with Telefônica Brasil S.A. also in the Northern region. In these contracts, both operators optimize resources and reduce their operational costs (Note 16).

(f) Auction and payment of 4G License 700 MHz

In 2018 the Intangible assets in progress are substantially represented by costs for the development of 4G technology, which included: (i) amounts paid to obtain 4G Licenses; (ii) costs for cleaning the 700 MHZ frequency band; and (iii) financial costs capitalized on qualifiable assets, as detailed below:

(i) On September 30, 2014, the subsidiary purchased Lot 2 in the Auction of the 700 MHz band in the amount of R$1,739 million. In December 2014, the Company made the payment of R$ 1,678 million, recording the remaining balance payable in the amount of R$ 61 million as a liability (note 19), as provided for in the announcement.

The subsidiary is contesting this remaining balance before ANATEL and is subject to interest of 1% pm and indexed to the IGP-DI, such amounts being capitalized by the Company. The impact in the period ended March 31, 2019 was R $ 1,032 of interest and R $ -539 of monetary restatement on the balance. In 2020, there was no capitalization, as the asset was considered in operation by Management.

(ii) Additionally, as determined in the call notice, the Company has borne the costs for the cleaning of the frequency band purchased. The nominal amount due from the Company in relation to the cleaning of the 700 MHZ frequency of the lot purchased was R$904 million. The Company also had an additional cost of R$295 million related to the portion that has not been bought in the auction, and that was subsequently split by ANATEL among the companies that won the auction, totaling R$1,199 million.

In order to perform the spectrum cleaning activities, in March 2015 TIM, together with other companies that won the auction, have constituted a Redistribution and Digitalization Management Entity for TV and RTV Channels, named “Entidade Administradora da Digitalização", or "EAD”. From 2015 to 2018, TIM, along with the other companies that won the auction, will disburse amounts in accordance with the schedule provided for in the public notice to cover the EAD costs related to these cleaning activities. Because the amount payable of R$1,199 million relates to a long-term obligation, it was reduced by R$47 million through an adjustment to Net Present Value (“NPV”).

The Company made the payments as at April 9, 2015, January 26, 2017 and January 16, 2018 in the amounts of R$370,379, R$858,991 and R$142,862, respectively.

The aforementioned license is part of the qualifying asset concept. Consequently, financial charges on funds raised without specific destination, used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, are capitalized at the average rate of 6.90% per year of loans and financing in force during the year.

In September 2019, the assets were considered in operation by Management and from this date on, the capitalization of interest and charges on this asset was closed

16 Finance leases

Leases in which the Company, as the lessee, substantially holds all of the risks and benefits of ownership, are classified as financial leases, which are capitalized at the beginning of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased item and the present value of the payments provided for in the agreement. Interest related to the leases is taken to income as financial costs over the term of the contract.

The subsidiary entered into tower lease agreements, as a lessee, arising from a sale and financial leaseback operation involving the sale of an asset and the concomitant lease of the same asset by the purchaser to the seller.

The subsidiary recognized a liability corresponding to the present value of the compulsory minimum installments under the agreement.

Leases in which the Company, as lessor, substantially transfers the risks and benefits of the ownership to the other party (the lessee) are classified as financial leases. These lease values are transferred from the intangible assets of the Company and are recognized as a lease receivable at the lower of the fair value of the leased item and/or the present value of the receipts provided for in the agreement. Interest related to the lease is taken to income as financial income over the contractual term.

Asset leases are financial assets registered and/or measured at amortized cost.

i) LT Amazonas

The subsidiary executed agreements for the right to use the infrastructure of companies that operate electric power transmission lines in Northern Brazil (“LT Amazonas”). The terms of these agreements are for 20 years, counted from the date on which the assets are ready to operate. The contracts provide for monthly payments to the electric power transmission companies, restated annually at the IPCA.

The table below presents the future payment schedule for the agreements in force. These amounts represent the estimated disbursements under the agreements executed with distributors and are shown at their nominal amounts. These balances differ from those shown in the books since, in the case of the latter, the amounts are shown at present value:

	Rated values	Amount present

Until March 2021	44,079	10,937

April 2025 onwards	370,141	220,251
	590,535	274,851

The consolidated nominal value of future installments due by the subsidiary is R $ 590,535. Its present value is R $ 274,851, being composed in its entirety of principal and was estimated, on the date of signing of the contracts with the transmission companies, projecting future payments and discounting them at 14.44% per year. In addition to these balances, the total value of the right to use also includes R $ 70,759 related to investments in fixed assets made by the subsidiary and later donated to the electricity transmission concessionaires. Such a donation was already foreseen in the contracts signed between the parties. In 2019, its value was remeasured according to the calculation methodology of IFRS 16 / CPC 06 (R2), removing the projected inflation component on future payments and maintaining the original discount rate for the calculation of present value.

ii) Sale and leaseback of Towers

The subsidiary entered into two Sales Agreements with American Tower do Brasil Cessão de Infraestruturas Ltda. (“ATC”) in November 2014 and January 2015 for up to 6,481 telecommunications towers then owned by TIM Celular, for an amount of approximately R$3 billion, and a Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) for part of the space on these towers for a period of 20 years from the date of transfer of each tower, under a sale and leaseback transaction, with a provision for monthly rental amounts depending on the type of tower (greenfield or rooftop). The sales agreements provide for the towers to be transferred in tranches to ATC, due to the need to meet certain conditions precedent.

In total, 5,873 transfers of towers occurred, being 54, 336 and 5,483 in the years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This transaction resulted in a sales amount of R$2,651,247, of which R$1,088,390 was booked as deferred revenue and will be amortized over the period of the contract (Note 23).

The discount rate used in the transaction was determined on the basis of observable market transactions that the Company (the lessee) would have to pay under a similar lease or loan, as mentioned below.

The table below includes the schedule of payments of the agreement in force in relation to the MLA. The amounts represent the disbursements estimated in the agreement signed with ATC, stated at their nominal amounts. It should be noted that these balances differ from those shown in the books since, in the case of the latter, the amounts are shown at their present values:

April 2025 onwards	1,944,832	1,025,761
	2,883,433	1,190,623

The consolidated nominal value of the sum of future installments due by the subsidiary is R $ 2,883,433. Its present value is R $ 1,190,623 and comprises only the principal. The present value was estimated, projecting future payments, discounted by the discount rates used on the date of the transactions, which vary from 11.01% to 17.08% per year, which were determined based on observable market transactions that the Company (the lessee) would have to pay on a similar lease and / or loan. In 2019, its value was remeasured according to the calculation methodology of IFRS 16 / CPC 06 (R2), removing the projected inflation component on future payments and maintaining the original discount rate for the calculation of present value.

(iii) Other lease operations

In addition to the lease operations mentioned above, the Company also has lease agreements that qualify within the scope of IFRS16 / CPC 06 (R2).

The following table shows the payment schedule of those agreements in effect. The amounts represent the estimated disbursements within the agreements signed and are shown at their face value.

17. Regulatory credits recoverable

These refer to Fistel credit amounts arising from the reduction of the client base, which may be offset by future changes in the base, or used to reduce future obligations, and are expected to be used toward settlement of the TFF payable to Fistel annually in the month of March.

As of March 31, 2020, this credit is R $ 47,293 (R $ 33,090 as of December 31, 2019).

18. Suppliers

Supplier accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that were purchased in the normal course of business. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Given the short maturity terms of these obligations, in practice they are usually recognized at the invoice value.

In the option to extend the right of such use, the payment of 2% of the net revenue of the region covered by the Authorization that ends each biennium is due. As of March 31, 2020, the subsidiary had outstanding balances related to the renewal of Authorizations in the amount of R $ 199,363 (R $ 199,363 on December 31, 2019).

(ii) On December 05, 2014 the subsidiary signed an Authorization Instrument for the 700 MHz band and paid an amount equivalent to R$1,678 million, recording the remaining balance of R$61 million as a trade liability, according to the payment method provided for in the call notice. Due to the absence of bids for some lots in the Call Notice for the 700 MHZ band, the subsidiary, along with other bidders, had to bear a proportion of the costs of these lots. Thus, the EAD was organized, with respect to which the total commitment assumed by the subsidiary was R$1,199 million. This amount was paid in four installments adjusted by the IGP-DI (Daily General Price Index) (Note 15.f).

On June 30, 2015, the subsidiary distributed a lawsuit challenging the collection of the excess nominal value of R $ 61 million (R $ 129 million on March 31, 2020), which is still pending judgment.

₍₂₎Guaranteed by the holding company TIM Participações.

₍₃₎No guarantee.

The Parent Company TIM Participações did not have borrowing and financing as at December 31, 2019.

The subsidiary’s financing, contracted with BNDES, was obtained for the expansion of the mobile telephone network and has restrictive contractual clauses that provide for the fulfillment of certain financial and non-financial indexes calculated on a half-yearly basis. In February 2020, the subsidiary made the total prepayment of financing obtained from BNDES, however there are still contracts in force with the bank regulating the credit lines available for withdrawal. The parent company TIM Participações has been complying with the defined financial ratios. The financial ratios are: (1) Shareholders’ equity on total assets; (2) EBITDA on net financial expenses; (3) Total financial debt to EBITDA and (4) Short-term net financial debt to EBITDA.

In May 2018, the Company obtained a new credit line in the amount of R $ 1,500 million from the BNDES to finance investments in fixed assets (Capex) for the 2017-2019 three-year period, with terms to be used until August 2020. As of March 2019, with the contracting of Finame Direto, the Company replaced sub-credit “B” of this contract (equivalent to R $ 390 million). This new credit line in the amount of R $ 390 million with Finame, a company in the BNDES system, aimed at improving the conditions of one of the sub-credits, of equal value, contracted with BNDES in May 2018, both in terms of term and cost The cost of this line is IPCA plus interest of up to 2.99% per year and its availability extends until March 2021, without any disbursement obligations.

In January 2020, a new credit line in the principal amount of R $ 752 million was secured between Banco do Nordesde do Brasil SA as a creditor and TIM SA as a borrower, guaranteed by guarantees and receivables. The agreement has a total term of 8 years, 3 of which are grace period and 5 of amortization, to subsidize the company’s capex plan for the next 3 years (2020-2022) in the Northeast region. The Credit Line is divided into two installments: i) R $ 325 million in the IPCA + 1.44% ay or IPCA +1.22% considering a 15% compliance bonus; and ii) R $ 427 million in IPCA + 1.76% ay or IPCA +1.48% considering 15% compliance bonus. Disbursement in installments scheduled for 2020, 2021 and 2022.

(ii) Investments in social projects, within the community;

(iii) Exclusive application in the acquisition of machinery and equipment, industrial systems and / or other components of national manufacture.

(iv) Support to TIM’s investment plan for the years 2020 to 2022 in the region where Banco do Nordeste do Brasil operates.

As a result of the more efficient loan and financing management strategy, in February 2020, the Company prepaid its total debt with BNDES at a cost of 171% of the CDI, replacing it with new loans with Bank of America Merril Lynch and The Bank of Nova Scotia, with an average cost of 108.3% of the CDI.

The controlled company TIM Celular has swap transactions, in order to be protected from the real devaluation risk with respect to the US dollar and euro in its loans and financing. However, it does not apply “accounting for hedge” (See note 37).

Loans and financing on December 31, 2020 due on long-term is in accordance with the following schedule:

Borrowing fair value

In Brazil, there is no consolidated long-term debt market with the characteristics verified in the financing obtained from KFW Finnvera, which has the Finnish development agency Finnvera as guarantor. For the purposes of analyzing the fair value, considering the characteristics of this transaction, the Company believes that its fair value is equal to that recorded in the balance sheet.

With regard to funding contracted with Cisco Capital, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of America, the current market conditions do not indicate the existence of factors that could lead to a fair value of operations different from that recorded in the accounting books.

The total amount assessed against Grupo TIM in relation to contributions to FUST and FUNTTEL is R $ 2,953,512 (R $ 2,991,567 as of December 31, 2019). The main discussion involves the collection of contributions to FUST and FUNTTEL (Fund for Technological Development of Telecommunications) from the issue by ANATEL of Súmula nº. 07/2005, aiming, among others, and mainly, the collection of the contribution to the FUST and FUNTTEL on the interconnection revenues earned by mobile telecommunications service providers, as of Law no. 9,998 / 2000.

e.4. Regulatory issues

ANATEL has initiated administrative proceedings against those controlled by: (i) non-compliance with certain quality indicators; (ii) default on other obligations arising from the Authorization Terms and; (iii) failure to comply with SMP and STFC regulations, among others.

As of March 31, 2020, the amount indicated relating to PADOs (Procedure for Determination of Non-Compliance with Obligations), considering the monetary adjustment, classified as possible risk was R $ 715,724 (R $ 707,993 on December 31, 2019). The variation was mainly due to the processing of the s PADOs included in the Conduct Adjustment Term “TAC” under negotiation with ANATEL.

On August 22, 2019, ANATEL’s Board of Directors unanimously approved TIM’s Conduct Adjustment Term, which had been negotiated since June 2018 with the regulator. The agreement covers a sanction reference value of R $ 627 million. The commitment to be assumed by TIM provides for improvement actions in three performance pillars - customer experience, quality and infrastructure - through initiatives associated with improvements in the station licensing process, efficient use of numbering resources, evolution of digital channels service, reduction of complaint rates, repair of users and reinforcement of transport and access networks. In addition, it contemplates the additional commitment to take mobile broadband, through the 4G network, to 366 municipalities with less than 30 thousand inhabitants, thus reaching more than 3.4 million people. The new infrastructure will be implemented in three years - more than 80% in the first two years - and the sharing regime with other providers is guaranteed by the Company.

Upon obtaining the term extension of the authorizations for the use of radio frequencies associated with the SMP, the subsidiary TIM SA becomes liable for the contractual burden on the net revenue resulting from the service plans sold under each authorization. However, since 2011 ANATEL started to include in the calculation base of the referred burden also the revenues obtained with Interconnection, and from 2012, the revenues obtained with Value Added Services. In the opinion of the Company, the inclusion of such revenues is undue because it is not expressly provided for in the original Authorization Terms, so the charges received are discussed at the administrative and / or judicial level.

25. Shareholders’ equity

a. Capital stock

Share capital is recorded at the amount effectively raised from shareholders, net of costs directly linked to the funding process.

When a Group company buys shares in the capital of the Company, in order to keep them in treasury, the amount paid, including any additional costs directly attributable, is deducted from the Company’s shareholders’ equity until the shares are canceled or reissued. When these shares are subsequently reissued, any amount received, net of additional costs directly attributable to the transaction, is included in equity. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has 625,404 shares in Treasury (210,527 as of December 31, 2019), in order to comply with the Stock Option Plan (note 26).

The Company is authorized to increase its share capital, by resolution of the Board of Directors, regardless of statutory reform, up to the limit of 4,450,000,000 common shares.

The subscribed and paid up capital is represented as follows:

	Consolidated

	410,753	410,650

Special goodwill reserve	380,560	380,560
Stock options	30,193	30,090

b.1 Special goodwill reserve

The special goodwill reserve arose from the following transactions:

(i) Takeover of the former subsidiaries TIM Sul and TIM NE - acquisition of minority shares

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

In 2005, the Company acquired all the shares held by the minority shareholders of TIM Sul SA and TIM Nordeste Telecomunicações SA This acquisition was carried out with the issue of new shares by TIM Participações SA, converting these companies into its wholly-owned subsidiaries. This transaction was recorded at the time at the book value of the shares, not recording goodwill arising from the difference in market value between the shares traded.

When the first IFRS was adopted, the Company used the exemption that allows a subsidiary, when adopting international accounting practice after the adoption of IFRS by its parent company, to consider the balances previously reported to the parent company for the purposes of its consolidation. In the balance sheet for the transition to IFRS, the Company recorded the acquisition value based on the market value of TIM Participações SA shares at that time, recording goodwill in the amount of R $ 157,556.

(ii) Acquisition of the shares of Holdco - purchase of TIM S.A (Intelig)

On December 30, 2009, the Extraordinary General Meeting of TIM Participações approved the merger of Holdco, a company that held 100% of TIM SA’s share capital, into TIM Participações. As a result of this transaction, the Company issued 127,288,023 shares.

Based on the old Brazilian accounting practices (“BR GAAP”), the acquisition was recorded at the net book value of the assets acquired on the base date of November 30, 2009.

When the IFRS was first adopted, the acquisition was recorded on the base date of December 31, 2009 and the market value of TIM Participações’ common and preferred shares on December 30, 2009 was considered, totaling R $ 739,729. The difference between this amount and the book value recorded under the former BR GAAP (R $ 516,725) generated goodwill, against a capital reserve of R $ 223,004.

b.2 Stock options

The balances recorded in these captions represent the expenses of the Company and its subsidiary with stock options granted to employees (note 26).

In the period ended March 31, 2020 and year ended 2019, the Company sold 305,063 and 668,367 common shares, respectively, to the beneficiaries of the stock option plan (note 26). These shares were in the Company’s treasury when the options were exercised at an average book value of R $ 16.06 and R $ 10.87, respectively. Additionally, through the Share Buyback Program launched in October 2017, the Company acquired 719,940 in 2020 (210,526 in 2019) shares for the price of R $ 15.57 and R $ 15.22 respectively, equivalent to R $ 11,2067 in 2020 (R $ 3,204 in 2019). As a result, the net effect on the treasury stock repurchase transaction was R $ 6,307 (R $ 5,319 in 2019).

c. Profit reserves

c.1 Legal reserve

Refers to the allocation of 5% of net income for the year ended December 31 of each year, until the reserve equals 20% of the share capital, excluding from 2018 the balance allocated to the tax incentive reserve. Additionally, the Company may stop constituting the legal reserve when it, added to the capital reserves, exceeds 30% of the capital.

This reserve can be used only for capital increases or the offsetting of accumulated losses.

c.2 Statutory reserve for expansion

This reserve is set up based on paragraph 2, Article 46 of the Company’s bylaws and is intended for the expansion of the corporate business.

The balance of income that is not compulsorily allocated to other reserves and that is not allocated for the payment of dividends, is allocated to this reserve, which may not exceed 80% of the capital. Once this limit is reached, it is incumbent upon the shareholders’ meeting to decide on the balance, either distributing this to shareholders or increasing the capital.

In December 2019, the Reserve for expansion reached the limit defined in the Company’s bylaws. As a result, the capital increase through capitalization of the expansion reserve in the amount of R $ 1,644,013 was approved at the last meeting. This increase may be made without issuing new shares in proportion to the shareholders’ rights.

c.3 Tax benefit reserve

The subsidiary enjoys tax benefits that provide for restrictions on the distribution of profits by this subsidiary. According to the legislation establishing these tax benefits, the amount of taxes waived as a result of exemptions and reductions in the tax charge may not be distributed to shareholders and must be registered as a tax incentive reserve for the legal entity. This reserve should only be used for offsetting the losses or capital increases. At March 31, 2020, the accumulated amount of benefits enjoyed by the subsidiary was R$ 1,612,019 (R$1,612,019 at December 31, 2019).

This tax benefit basically corresponds to a reduction in the IRPJ on income from exploration, recorded by the units entitled to this benefit. The subsidiary operates in the area of the former Superintendence for Development of the Amazon (“SUDENE/SUDAM”), and the tax benefit reports are granted by the state, for a period of ten years, subject to extension.

d. Dividends

Dividends are calculated in accordance with the bylaws and Brazilian Corporate Legislation.

As stated in the most recent bylaws approved on April 14, 2016, the Company must distribute a mandatory dividend for each business year ended December 31, provided that funds are available for distribution, equivalent to 25% of the revised profit.

IRRF on interest on shareholders’ equity	(149,316)
Total dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity, net	846,122

Dividends per share (amount in reais), net of IRRF	0.35

Interest on shareholders’ equity paid and/or payable is recorded against financial expenses which, for the purposes of presentation of the quarterly information, are reclassified and disclosed in the allocation of net income for the year/period, in changes in shareholders’ equity. Interest on shareholders’ equity received and/or receivable is recorded against financial revenue, with an impact on the equity accounting income. For disclosure purposes, the impacts on income are eliminated, and a reduction is recorded in the investment balance. As of December 31, 2019, the amount provisioned was R$995,438, of which R$ 313,600 was paid over the year and the remaining balance is recorded in the Company's current liabilities and paid in January 2020.

The balance on March 31, 2020 of the item “dividends and interest on equity payable” is composed of the amounts not paid in previous years in the amount of R $ 47,834.

Dividends not claimed – As provided for in the Brazilian Corporate Law, dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity that are declared but not claimed by shareholders for a period of three years are reversed to the shareholders’ equity according to the statute of limitations.

Regarding the statement of cash flow, interest on shareholders’ equity and dividends paid to shareholders were classified as “financing activities”.

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

At the annual meeting on August 5, 2011, April 10, 2014 and April 19, 2018, the shareholders of TIM Participações S.A. approved the long-term incentive plans, respectively the “2011-2013 Plan”, the “2014-2016 Plan” and the "2018-2020 Plan" for the senior Management and key executives of the Company and its subsidiary.

The 2011-2013 and 2014-2016 Plans involve granting options, while the 2018-2020 Plan provides for the granting of shares.

The exercise of options under the 2011-2013 Plan depends on the achievement of specific performance targets, while the exercise of options of the 2014-2016 Plan is not subject to this condition. The Exercise Price is calculated with an upward or downward adjustment to the Base Share Price, according to share performance, as provided for in each Plan.

The 2018-2020 Plan, in turn, proposes granting to the participants shares issued by the Company, subject to certain time and/or performance conditions (attainment of specific targets). The number of shares may vary up or down depending on performance and possible declarations of dividends, considering the criteria specified for each Grant.

Share options of the 2011-2013 and the 2014-2016 Plans are effective for six years, and TIM Participações has no legal or informal obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash. In the case of the 2018-2020 Plan, the effectiveness period is the same as the vesting period of three years. The 2018-2020 Plan, in turn, besides allowing for the transfer of shares, also provides for the possibility of making payments to the participants of the equivalent cash value.

The total amount of the expense is recognized during the vesting period: that is, the period during which specific vesting conditions must be met. On the date of each balance sheet, the Group reviews its estimates for the number of options that will vest, considering vesting conditions not related to the market and time with the company.

It should also be taken into account that in 2017 there were no new grants, only the calculations of the vesting period from past grants.

The variations in the quantity of shares/options are presented below:

Date of grant	Granted shares options	Expiration date	Base Price	Balance at beginning of year	Granted during the period	Exercised during the period	Expired during the period	Overdue during the period	Balance at the end of the period

2018-2020 Plan – 2^nd Grant - Volume traded and the trading price of Tim Participações shares during the period from June 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.

The Group recognizes the impact of review of its initial estimates, if any, in the statement of income, with a contra-entry in shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2019, expenses linked to said long-term benefit plans totaled R $ 1,796 (R $ 2,359 as of December 31, 2019).

27. Net revenue

Revenue from services rendered

The principal service revenue derives from monthly subscription, the provision of separate voice, SMS and data services, and user packages combining these services, roaming charges and interconnection revenue. The revenue is recognized as the services are used, net of sales taxes and discounts granted on services. This revenue is recognized only when the amount of services rendered can be estimated reliably.

Revenues are recognized monthly, through billing, and revenues to be billed between the billing date and the end of the month (unbilled) are identified, processed, and recognized in the month in which the service was provided. These non-billed revenues are recorded on an estimated basis, which takes into account consumption data, number of days elapsed since the last billing date.

Interconnection traffic and roaming revenue are recorded separately, without offsetting the amounts owed to other telecom operators (the latter are accounted for as operating costs).

The minutes not used by customers and/or reload credits in the possession of commercial partners regarding the prepaid service system are recorded as deferred revenue and allocated to income when these services are actually used by customers.

Revenue from product sales

Revenues from product sales (telephones, mini-modems, tablets and other equipment) are recognized when the performance obligations associated with the contract are transferred to the buyer. Revenues from sales of devices to trading partners are accounted for at the time of their physical delivery to the partner, net of discounts, and not at the time of sale to the end customer, since the Company has no control over the product sold.

Contract Identification

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION - continued

As at March 31

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

The Company reviews all current commercial contracts in order to identify the main contractual clauses and other elements present in the contracts that could be relevant in the application of the new accounting pronouncement.

Identification of performance obligation

Based on the review of its contracts, the Company verified the existence of two performance obligations:

(i) sale of equipment; and

(ii) provision of mobile, fixed and internet telephony services.

Therefore, the Company began to recognize revenues when, or as, the performance obligation is met when transferring the good or service promised to the customer; the asset is considered transferred when or as the customer obtains control of this asset.

Determining and Allocating the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligation

The Company understands that its commercial packages that combine services and sale of cellular handsets with discounts. In accordance with IFRS 15 (CPC 47), the Company is required to perform the discount allocation and recognize revenues related to each performance obligation based on their standalone selling prices.

Prior to the adoption of the standard, the Company recognized revenue from each element identified based on its contractual price, with the discount on the sale of handsets being allocated completely to the price of the handset.

As a consequence of the adoption of the new standard, an additional portion of the revenue was allocated to revenues from sale of handsets at the beginning of the contract, representing an increase in revenues from the sale of equipment in relation to previously adopted accounting practice. The difference between the amount of revenue and the amount of equipment sales revenue at the beginning of the contract was recognized at the time each as a contractual asset, allocated to service revenue along the contract period.

Cost to obtain contract

All incremental costs related to obtaining a contract (sales commissions and other costs of acquisition from third parties) are recorded as prepaid expenses and amortized over the same period as the revenue associated with this asset. Similarly, certain contract compliance costs are also deferred to the extent that they relate to performance obligations under the customer agreement, i.e. when the customer obtains control over the asset.

36. Financial instruments and risk management

The financial instruments registered by the Company and its subsidiary include derivatives, which are financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. At each balance sheet date they are measured at their fair value. Interest, monetary adjustments, exchange variations and variations arising from measurement at fair value, where applicable, are recognized in income as they are incurred, under financial income or expenses.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value as at the date of the derivative agreement and subsequently revised to fair value. The method used to recognize any gain or loss depends on whether or not the derivative is assigned as a hedge instrument in cases where hedge accounting is adopted.

Through its subsidiary, the Company performs non-speculative derivative transactions, to: i) reduce the exchange variation risks, and ii) manage exposure to the interest risks involved. The Company’s derivative financial transactions consist specifically of swap contracts.

The Company’s financial instruments are presented, through its subsidiary, in compliance with IFRS 9 / CPC 48.

The major risk factors to which the Company and its subsidiary are exposed are as follows:

(i) Exchange variation risks

Exchange variation risks refer to the possibility of the subsidiary incurring: i) losses on unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations, which would increase the outstanding balances of borrowing and financing taken in the market along with the related cost expenses, or ii) an increase in the cost of commercial agreements affected by exchange variations. In order to reduce this kind of risk, the subsidiary enters into swap contracts with financial institutions for the purpose of avoiding the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the financial results, and trade agreements containing sections that provide for foreign exchange bands with the purpose of partially reducing exchange rate risks, or US Dollar stock options intended to reduce foreign exchange exposure risks in business contracts.

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

As at March 31, 2020, the borrowing and financing of the subsidiary indexed to foreign currency were fully hedged by swap contracts in terms of time and amount. Any gains or losses arising from these swap contracts are recorded in the results of the subsidiary.

Besides the risks mentioned above, no other significant financial assets and liabilities are indexed to foreign currencies.

(ii) Interest rate risks

Interest rate risks relate to:

- The possibility of variations in the fair value of financing obtained by the subsidiary indexed to TJLP, IPCA and / or TLP, when such rates do not proportionally follow the rates referring to Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI). As of March 31, 2019, the subsidiary did not have any swap operations linked to TJLP, IPCA and / or TLP.

- The possibility of an unfavorable movement in interest rates would cause an increase in the financial expenses of the subsidiary, due to the portion of debt and the liability positions that the subsidiary has in swap contracts linked to floating interest rates (percentage of CDI). However, on March 31, 2020, the subsidiary maintains its financial resources invested in Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI), which substantially reduces this risk.

(iii) Credit risk inherent to providing services

The risk is related to the possibility of the subsidiary calculating losses arising from the subscribers’ inability to honor the payments of the amounts billed. In order to minimize this risk, the subsidiary performs preventive credit analyzes of all orders charged by the sales areas and monitors accounts receivable from subscribers, blocking the ability to use services, among other actions, if customers do not pay their debts. There are no customers who have contributed more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 or revenue from services provided.

(iv) Credit risk inherent to sales of handsets and prepaid phone cards

The Group’s policy for the sale of handsets and the distribution of prepaid phone cards is directly related to the credit risk levels accepted during the normal course of business. The selection of partners, the diversification of the accounts receivable portfolio, the monitoring of loan conditions, the positions and order limits established for traders, the constitution of collateral are procedures adopted by the subsidiaries to minimize possible collection problems with their business partners. There are no customers who have contributed more than 10% of merchandise sales revenue during the period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. There are no customers who have contributed more than 10% of accounts receivable net of sale of goods on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(v) Liquidity risk

- Liquidity risk arises from the need for cash to meet the Company's obligations. The Company structures the maturity dates of its non-derivative financial instruments and of its respective derivative financial instruments so as not to affect liquidity.

- The Company’s liquidity and cash flow management is performed on a daily basis in order to ensure that the operating cash generation and prior funding, whenever necessary, are sufficient to maintain its schedule of operational and financial commitments.

- All financial investments of the Company have daily liquidity, and Management may, in specific cases: i) review the dividend payment policy, ii) issue new shares, and/or iii) sell assets in order to improve liquidity.

(vi) Financial credit risk

The cash flow estimate is made and aggregated by the Finance and Treasury department of the Company. This department monitors the continuous liquidity requirements estimate to ensure that the Company has sufficient cash to meet its operating needs. This estimate takes into account investment plans, debt financing, compliance with contractual clauses, compliance with internal goals and, if applicable, compliance with regulatory, external or legal requirements.

This risk relates to the possibility of the Company and its subsidiary incurring losses due to difficulties in realizing their short-term investments and swap contracts due to bankruptcy of the counterparties. The subsidiary minimizes the risk associated with these financial instruments by operating only with sound financial institutions and adopting policies that establish maximum risk concentration levels per institution.

(In thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated)

The fair value of financial instruments traded on active markets is based on quoted market prices as at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. These instruments are included in Level 1. The instruments included in Level 1 mainly comprise investments in CDBs and repurchases classified as trading securities.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data when available and rely to the minimum extent possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

· Quoted market prices or financial institutions quotes or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

· The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flow based on observable yield curves.

· Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments of the subsidiaries were determined based on the future cash flow (asset and liability position), taking into account the contracted conditions and bringing this flow to its present value by means of the discounted future interest rates disclosed in the market. The fair values were estimated at a specific time, based on the information available and on the Company’s own valuation methodologies.

Investments are initially recognized at fair value. After initial recognition, changes in the fair value are booked in income for the year as finance income and expenses.

Financial risk hedge policy adopted by the Company – Synthesis

The Company’s policy states that mechanisms must be adopted to hedge against financial risks arising from borrowing in foreign currency, so as to manage the exposure to the risks associated with exchange variations.

Derivative financial instruments hedging against exchange variations must be acquired simultaneously with the closing of the debt that gave rise to that exposure. The coverage level for this exchange exposure is 100% of the risk, both in terms of maturity date and amount.

As of March 31, 2020, there are no types of margins or guarantees applied to operations with derivative financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiary.

The criteria for choosing the financial institutions abide by parameters that take into account the rating provided by reliable risk analysis agencies, shareholders’ equity and concentration levels of transactions and funding.

The operations with derivative financial instruments contracted by the subsidiaries and in force on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are shown in the table below:

Demonstrative table the sensitivity analysis – effect of variations in the fair value of the swaps

For the purpose of identifying possible distortions arising from operations with consolidated derivative financial instruments currently in force, a sensitivity analysis was carried out considering the variables CDI, US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR) and Libor, individually, in three different scenarios (probable, possible and remote), and their respective impacts on the results obtained.

Our assumptions basically observed the individual effect of the variation of the CDI, USD, EUR and Libor, used in operations as appropriate, and for each scenario, the percentages and quotations indicated below were used:

As the subsidiaries hold derivative financial instruments to hedge their respective financial debt, the variations in the scenarios are monitored from the respective subject of the hedge, thereby showing that the counterpart of the effects involving the exposure created by the swaps will be reflected in the debt. In the case of these transactions, the subsidiaries disclosed the fair value of the subject matter (debt) and the derivative financial instrument of the hedge in separate lines, as shown in the sensitivity analysis position above, so as to reveal the net exposure of its subsidiaries in each of the three scenarios mentioned.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the sole purpose of the transactions entered into by the subsidiaries involving derivative financial transactions is to protect their balance sheet positions. Therefore, any improvement or deterioration in their respective market values will represent an inverse movement in the corresponding installments of the financial debt contracted, which is the subject matter of the subsidiaries’ derivative financial instruments.

Sensitivity analyses referring to the derivative financial instruments outstanding as at March 31, 2020 were conducted basically taking into account the assumptions surrounding the variations in market interest rates and the variation of the US Dollar used in the swap agreements. The use of those assumptions in the analyses was exclusively due to the characteristics of the derivative financial instruments, which represent exposure to interest rate and exchange variations only.

Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, in addition to maintaining an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure the Company can review its policy on paying dividends, returning capital to the shareholders or issuing new shares or selling assets to reduce its level of indebtedness, for example.

Changes in financial liabilities

Changes in liabilities due to financing activities, such as borrowing and financing, financial leasing and financial instruments are presented below:

	Borrowing and financing	Financial leasing	Derivative financial instruments (assets) liabilities

March 31, 2020	2,461,338	8,168,546	(317,924)

(i) As mentioned in Note 2.f, the Company decided to adopt the pronouncement IFRS 16/CPC 06(R2) – Lease, retroactively with the effect of the application as at January 1, 2019. Therefore, the lease previously classified as a financial lease, using CPC 06 (IAS 17), the book value of the right-of-use asset and of the lease liability on the date of initial application of the standard, comprised the book value of the lease asset and of the lease liability immediately prior to the application of this new standard, in accordance with CPC 06 (IAS 17). However, for such leases, as determined by the new standard, the Company is required to become to measure the right-of-use asset and the lease liability as from the initial application based on the new standard. Thus, the lease previously measured in accordance with IAS 17/CPC 06 was remeasured as at March 31, 2019, specifically with respect to the exclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, given that the projected inflation took into account for the period of the agreements previously measured in accordance with IAS 17/CPC 06.
