Net revenue expanded by +6.2% YoY, driven by the strong performance of postpaid (+10.3% YoY) and fiber (+10.6% YoY) revenues. Postpaid's performance is supported by the increase in the customer base (+7.7% YoY), that ended the quarter with 67.4 million accesses due to significant migrations and the acquisition of new customers. Additionally, the impact of annual price adjustments contributed to the +2.0% YoY increase in postpaid ARPU, excluding M2M and dongles, reaching R$52.2.
